Chapter 223: Chapter 143: The Domineering Brother Sea King (3)

That evening, he carried some gifts as he took Yi Chen home. They arrived early, so Zhao Chunlan wasn’t in bed yet.

After chatting with the old woman for a while, Gu Nan waited for her to return to her room before making a beeline for his girlfriend’s bedroom.

Yi Chen followed behind him. Seeing how eager he was, she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. Her face suddenly flushed red, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

Gu Nan walked into the room and looked around. It had a cozy layout. Just inside the door was a desk with some makeup on it, as there was no vanity in the room.

Next to the desk, there was surprisingly a small sofa, not very wide—only about 1.2 meters.

The bed was in the center of the room, and it looked to be 1.8 meters wide.

It had pink sheets and a comforter. Next to the pillow was a Baymax plushie that was probably 1.5 meters tall, giving the room a very girly feel.

At the far end of the room were two large wardrobes. It made sense; girls have a lot of clothes.

He turned his head and saw Yi Chen standing at the door, her face flushed. Gu Nan assumed she was a little shy about him being in her bedroom.

Her delicate and alluring appearance made his desire surge. He stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms!

"Ah~"

A fragrant scent washed over him. Yi Chen hadn’t expected Gu Nan to do that, and she looked a little panicked.

But as her small frame was completely enveloped in his embrace, she felt her body go weak, her legs barely able to support her.

’What are girls made of, anyway?’ he wondered. ’Why are their bodies so soft and comfortable to hold?’

Feeling the softness pressing against the upper part of his stomach, Gu Nan looked down at the blushing face before him and drew closer.

Soon, the tips of their noses touched. Yi Chen couldn’t help but close her eyes, her curved lashes trembling, betraying her nervousness.

Gu Nan tilted his head slightly and pressed his lips against hers, which were slightly moist.

They were soft and sweet, accompanied by muffled, affectionate sounds.

An unknown amount of time passed. Gu Nan was now sitting on the sofa with Yi Chen perched sideways on his lap, her head resting on his shoulder. Her lips were slightly parted, and her chest heaved.

Her beautiful large eyes were completely glazed over. Her innocent little face now held a touch of coquettishness, making her even more alluring.

She was more captivating than her usual self. It felt as though a special charm had been sealed away, and now, a small part of it had been unlocked.

This made Gu Nan unable to resist kissing her again.

’This little girlfriend of mine is just too wonderful. What even was my ex-girlfriend compared to her?’

When he left Yi Chen’s house, it was already past ten at night. He had stayed in her room for nearly two full hours.

He was reluctant to leave—completely and utterly reluctant.

Their relationship had taken another step forward, and Gu Nan wished he could just meld her small body into his own.

But reason prevailed, and he didn’t do anything more intimate, sticking only to kissing.

Before leaving, Gu Nan told her to sleep in the next day and that he would go open the shop himself. He figured the poor girl wouldn’t be able to sleep again tonight.

And he was right. At that moment, Yi Chen was lying in bed, staring blankly ahead, her eyes unfocused. One hand subconsciously touched her lips as a silly grin appeared on her face from time to time.

Gu Nan drove to the pier. He planned to use the Legendary card tonight to deal with the Legendary Large-spot Grouper.

The sooner he got it, the sooner he could make money. Since Sea King wanted it, he should arrange it as soon as possible.

Although there were no more daily quests at Sanlian Reef, the daily attempts didn’t stack. So, Gu Nan came straight here. After catching the Legendary grouper, he could fish a bit at Seven-Star Rock.

He was very curious what kind of marine life would appear in the Elite Fish-dex.

He first took a look at Sanlian Reef and saw it was crowded. He then continued toward the spot where he had fished the previous day. Who knew, maybe he could catch another Long-bodied Serranid tonight.

He took out his golden boat rod and mounted it on the holder, just as he had that morning. Then, he opened the game and chose to use the Legendary card.

The Legendary card glowed with a golden light, and his unlocked Fish-dex automatically appeared, prompting Gu Nan to select the Legendary sea creature he wanted to catch.

Gu Nan found the Blue-body Large-spot Grouper and tapped "Confirm."

[Ding! You have successfully selected the Blue-body Large-spot Grouper. Host, on your next cast, please sink the bait to the seabed (depth must be over thirty meters) and be fully prepared.]

’Uh...’

Gu Nan had originally thought the fish would bite even if he just left the hook and bait at the surface. It turned out he had to follow the actual fishing conditions for the species. ’Looks like it’ll still be a bit of a hassle to land this fish!’

Following the game’s prompt, Gu Nan tossed the metal jig lure into the water and activated the electric reel to let out the line.

This time, he wasn’t in the same area where he’d been fishing that morning, but in a nearby spot where the water was about forty meters deep.

He wasn’t crazy. Trying to catch a large grouper over two meters long and weighing at least 150 kilograms in a shallow spot would be asking for trouble.

The lure reached the bottom. After waiting about ten seconds, a tremendous force bent the fishing rod.

Gu Nan knew he had a bite. He quickly turned on the electric reel, while simultaneously using one hand to lift the rod with all his might and the other to crank the handle, rapidly reeling in the line.

’Can’t hesitate. I have to pull the fish up a bit, or it’ll be a problem if it starts to sound.’

It might have been due to the terrain. The bottom here was a sandbed. Since the grouper had already been pulled up a little, it didn’t look for a place to hide. Instead, it struggled and tried to run for deeper water.

As a result, the handle on Gu Nan’s reel suddenly jammed, refusing to turn.

Still, compared to an Indian marlin that could weigh up to 400 kilograms, a grouper was countless times easier to catch.

It lacked stamina and speed; its only real asset was its high market value.

With the help of the electric reel, Gu Nan spent just under an hour getting the large grouper to the surface.

He was tired, but he was in much better shape compared to that morning.

He couldn’t kill this grouper. Gu Nan looped a rope around its tail and used the crane to hoist it directly aboard.

Fortunately, he had already tired it out, so the fish didn’t struggle much.

He removed the hook and stored the fish in his aquarium. The task was successfully completed. His Gold Coins reached 61,000, and he now had four golden keys.

He immediately used the golden keys to open treasure chests. As a golden light flashed four times, Gu Nan received four great treasures.

One Legendary Sea Creature Selection Card, one Special Fishing Ground Card, one Trial Card, and...
