Chapter 414 - Framing (1)
"Little Snowy, you have to believe me. Moreover, these fish are already mature. Even if we don"t eat them now, they will be eaten by the Lan family," Icy said understandingly. The silver snow fish could be used to concoct pills, but it would be best if the fish used to concoct the silver snow pills were not fully mature. This way, the effects of the concocted silver snow pill would be the best, and the mature silver snow fish were the most delicious. Moreover, if these fish weren"t eaten for a long time, they would naturally die when the time came, so they must not be wasted.
"The Lan family eats them too?" Leng Ruoxue was puzzled. Weren"t silver snow fish very precious?
"Little Snowy, silver snow fish have a growth cycle, and their longest lifespan is only ten years. So it would be a waste not to eat these fish after they mature! Moreover, even though silver snow fish aren"t easy to raise, they are very good at producing offspring, so there"s no need to worry," Icy explained. Alas! Little Snowy is too kind.
"Oh! Then let"s go!" Leng Ruoxue nodded, and they changed places to continue stealing fish.
In another courtyard, two groups of people were fighting, while Leng Ruoxue"s group was busy stealing fish and changing several places one after another.
"Little Icy, is this enough?" Leng Ruoxue asked with slightly raised eyebrows. There were only about a hundred fish left in the entire river now. She couldn"t bear to steal anymore.
"That"s it! Alas! Little Snowy, you"re too kind." Icy nodded reluctantly.
"Uh! Let"s go see the commotion!" Leng Ruoxue wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Wow! Little Icy actually said I was kind!
"Okay! Let"s cause trouble," Icy said with unconcealed excitement. Causing trouble was his favorite!
Leng Ruoxue nodded speechlessly, and the two humans and two beasts walked toward the fight.
In the main residence, the guards of the Lan family were fighting with several men in black. There were saber flashes and sword shadows all over in the huge courtyard, and colorful mystic power flew everywhere. After arriving, Leng Ruoxue and the others stood to the side and watched the battle. They were invisible anyway, so others couldn"t see them.
"Little Snowy, the lowest level of the Lan family"s guards is Mystic Monarch!" Icy watched the battle while taking on the task of explaining.
"Yes, as expected of one of the Three Great Families! They have a strong foundation," Leng Ruoxue said while staring at the two parties in the fight.
"Those men in black aren"t bad. They are generally Mystic Sovereigns. Little Snowy, guess who sent them?" Icy asked with a naughty smile.
"It"s either the Sun family or the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters, right?" Leng Ruoxue guessed.
"Hehe, they are all from the Sun family. Otherwise, why would the guards of the Lan family work so hard!" Icy said with slight pride.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She had also heard that the Lan family and the Sun family had always been at odds. But from the looks of the fighting, it seemed to be even more serious than the rumors!
"Xue"er, are we just going to watch?" Freak suddenly asked, his pitch-black and bright eyes s.h.i.+ning with a mischievous light.
Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak and asked with a smile, "What do you want to do?"
"Hehe, look at me." Freak smiled evilly, then changed his voice and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Someone come quickly! The Sun family is here to sell the silver snow fis.h.!.+"
After hearing the shout, the leader of the men in black, who was fighting with the guards of the Lan family in midair, almost fell down!
"d.a.m.n it. Who"s setting us up!" The leader of the men in black cursed. They were obviously here to kill Leng Ruoxue and her group, but they were discovered by the Lan family"s guards as soon as they arrived. Now, they were even accused of stealing fish. He was so depressed! He hated the people who spoke out twice!
"How dare the Sun family come to our Lan family to steal fis.h.!.+" the leader of the guards said coldly with disdain.
"We"re not here to steal fish," the leader of the men in black tried explaining.
"You"re not here to steal fish. Hmph! Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Don"t tell me you"re here for a walk. This isn"t your Sun family grounds. You can"t behave atrociously here!" The guard leader didn"t believe him at all. After all, there was nothing good about the Sun family in his heart!
"Just take it that we"re here for a walk," the leader of the men in black said helplessly. Alas! Why was he so miserable? He knew that it wouldn"t work no matter what he said. They wouldn"t take them seriously.
"Coming to our Lan family"s territory for a walk is equivalent to an attack. You will also die," the guard leader said without hesitation.
"Hmph! We"re both Mystic Sovereigns. You can"t kill me!" the leader of the men in black said with a sneer.
"That might not be the case," the guard leader said confidently. The two of them quickly began fighting again…
Not far away, Leng Ruoxue broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Freak"s shout…
"Hehe, Little Chen Chen, you"re also naughty!" Icy praised while watching the two parties fighting more and more intensely.
"I think they still aren"t satisfied with fighting. Why don"t we add fuel to the fire!" Freak suggested.
"Oh?" Icy"s big blue eyes looked at Freak doubtfully.
At this moment, Freak had already taken out the small and exquisite bamboo tube, aimed, and shot at the b.u.t.t of one of the men in black…
In just a few seconds, the man in black fell to the ground with a plop. The Lan family guard who was fighting him stood rooted to the ground, his face full of question marks!
"Haha, this is fun. Let me play with it!" Icy took the bamboo tube from Freak and held it with one hoof while another hoof kept pressing the small b.u.t.ton…
A few minutes later, all the men in black collapsed except for the leader. The guards of the Lan family were all stunned at the same time…
"What happened?" One of the guards squatted down and looked at the dead men in black, his face full of puzzlement.
Now, only the leaders of the two sides were fighting in the s.p.a.cious yard.. The leader of the men in black didn"t realize that his subordinates had already met their makers.
