Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 245: An Attack?

The puddle of water wasn’t too big around a width of five meters.

Right in the middle of it the dark shadow was swimming aimlessly trying to get out but couldn’t.

The tide that had retreated caused the rocks to form the small puddle and it got trapped in it.

Only when the tide came back would it be able to escape.

But now that Lin Xuan Qi was looking at it with his eyes gleaming.

It had no chance.

"It’s a brown-marbled grouper." He said excitedly to Zhi Yong.

The grouper was like the one they just had in the inn.

However, the grouper right in front of him wasn’t as big as it was, only at an arm’s length.

Lin Xuan Qi felt that luck was on his side for the day.

He quickly got into the puddle of water and waded towards the grouper.

When the grouper sensed that someone was approaching it swam away from where it was quickly.

Within a moment, it had swum to the side of Lin Xuan Qi.

And when Lin Xuan Qi turned around and tried to get near it, it swam to his other side again.

Lin Xuan Qi wouldn’t give up and said, "Zhi Yong try and approach it from that side."

He pointed to a spot that was not too far away from him.

And if he was lucky, the grouper would come swimming his way after it sensed Zhi Yong approaching.

Zhi Yong nodded his head and got into the puddle of water and slowly approached the grouper that was now trying to hide among the stones.

Splash.

When the grouper sensed Zhi Yong that was incoming, it swam away from where it was.

And miraculously, it headed straight towards Lin Xuan Qi.

"Come to me you little..." He squatted down, put down the pail he had and within a crucial moment, he scooped the grouper out of the water with both his hands.

The grouper thrashed around, flicking water all over his face but he didn’t let go.

His strength was much more than an average adult and even for a grouper that was an arm’s length.

All the struggle was futile.

The grouper couldn’t escape but Lin Xuan Qi couldn’t put it into the pail either.

With its tremendous strength, it would knock the pail over and escape at any moment once he put it in.

Lin Xuan Qi decided to give it a punch on its head.

Thud.

When his fist landed onto the head of the grouper, the impact knocked it out, and it became motionless after being unconscious.

"Master Lin, me so happy. Big fish!" Zhi Yong was glad to see such a big catch.

He was able to appreciate the joy of having a catch like Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi was glad that he liked it and said, "If we have the chance, it’s much more fun to be out in the sea fishing.

"The fishes out in the sea can be much larger than this."

He said while trying to put the grouper into his pail.

But the grouper was too big for it.

Unless he poured out his other catch of the day, it wouldn’t fit into the pail.

"Master Lin, me help carry." Zhi Yong volunteered to help and he nodded.

Lin Xuan Qi passed the grouper over to Zhi Yong and Zhi Yong raised it up high and shouted in the direction of Xue Cong and the others.

"Mistress Xue Cong, look what Master Lin caught." He held the grouper up high and ran towards them.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head but let him be.

He walked slowly towards them.

When she heard Zhi Yong’s voice, Xue Cong lifted her head and was surprised to see him holding a big fish.

Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi were also surprised by it.

"You caught it?" Yue Xin asked and glanced at the grouper excitedly.

Zhi Yong shook his head and said with a grin, "No, Master Lin caught."

"It looks like the fish we had earlier." She exclaimed when she recognized the grouper.

"Yes, I’m the best there is when it comes to this." Lin Xuan Qi interjected with his hands stretched out, ready for their praises.

Xue Cong shook her head and said, "I’m sure Master Lin is the best."

He was always like this when it came to things he liked. Proclaiming that he was the best and waiting to be praised.

Some things never changed, she thought.

Yue Jie also nodded her head and said, "Me too. I also think that Master Lin is the best."

Liu Shi Shi rolled her eyes at them.

"You are not husband and wives yet and you are already on his side."

Xue Cong and Yue Jie lowered their heads and blushed.

"How is your catch so far?" Lin Xuan Qi asked and glanced at their pails.

Liu Shi Shi frowned when she saw the meager amount of clams she had in her pail compared to the others.

"I was taking a break and relaxing." She protested and he shrugged his shoulders at her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"So, can we eat the grouper and the clams we got...what’s this?" Yue Xin said when she saw the stone crab and banded prawns he had inside his pail.

"Oh, nothing much." Lin Xuan Qi said with a sheepish smile.

He glanced over in the direction of the town and said, "We can get the innkeeper to cook everything for us if you want to."

"Then, we should catch more." Yue Xin thought that it would be enough for everyone and she ran to the waters where Lin Xuan Qi and Zhi Yong were.

Yue Jie quickly stood up and shouted, "Be careful, you don’t know how to swim!"

"I will get her back here." Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and walked towards the direction of where Yue Xin was.

Yue Xin suddenly froze and glanced over at him with her smile gone, replaced with a look of anxiety.

"What happened?" He asked and hastened his pace.

"There’s something grabbing onto my legs." Yue Xin said and pointed at her feet.
