I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 225: Waiting for the Rabbit by the Tree

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Waiting for the Rabbit by the Tree

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Zhang Yuan is named Chen Qi. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

His name is ordinary, his appearance is ordinary, and his physique and demeanor are even more mundane.

He belongs to the type that is most easily overlooked in a crowd.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these characteristics that Chen Qi is not only Han Zixun’s spy leader sent to the Great Dream Marsh, but has also been stationed here for a full ten years.

Over these ten years, he has transmitted a large amount of intelligence to the Xia Ruins.

Including information about Yan Wushuang.

The documents Zhang Yuan had reviewed earlier mostly came from Chen Qi!

After exchanging codes and confirming each other’s identities, Chen Qi handed Zhang Yuan several sheets of paper.

Zhang Yuan quickly skimmed through them and couldn’t help but frown: "Missing?"

The documents he just received contain very little about Yan Wushuang.

Simply put, the target Zhang Yuan came to the Great Dream Marsh for has been missing for a whole year, and despite the spies’ efforts, no information about Yan Wushuang has been obtained.

"That’s right."

Chen Qi chuckled bitterly: "Neither living nor dead, for now he can only be considered missing."

The Great Dream Marsh is vast and complex, so dying here is quite common.

Chen Qi actually hopes Yan Wushuang is indeed dead.

That way, he could end his mission and return to life in the Xia Ruins.

However, Han Zixun simply does not believe Yan Wushuang is dead and keeps sending experts back to the Great Dream Marsh to continue the search.

Zhang Yuan mused, "What’s your take?"

Chen Qi hesitated for a moment.

This question is truly difficult to answer.

After a moment, he cautiously said, "I believe Yan Wushuang should still be in the Great Dream Marsh. As long as he’s alive, he will eventually resurface."

"But when he will appear is beyond my prediction!"

Zhang Yuan thoughtfully nodded: "Then we have no choice but to wait."

Chen Qi agreed: "Yes."

Yan Wushuang is no ordinary person.

If such a figure wants to hide, unless the entire Great Dream Marsh is dug up, it won’t be easy to find.

"I understand now."

Zhang Yuan flicked the papers in his hand: "Brother Chen, I need to trouble you with something else."

Chen Qi quickly responded: "Gongzi, you’re too kind; please feel free to instruct me if it’s within my capabilities, I’ll do my utmost to complete it!"

Zhang Yuan laughed: "It’s nothing big."

After a pause, he continued: "I plan to stay here for a while waiting for news, could you help me find a place to stay? Somewhere livable would suffice, no need for extra amenities."

Zhang Yuan’s initial plan was to come to the Great Dream Marsh, locate his target and go all out to take them down in one move.

Often the simplest plans are the most effective and successful.

In this aspect, Zhang Yuan holds a huge advantage.

His own cultivation is Tier Four and he’s a newly Tier Four True Qi Martial Artist.

In terms of realm and strength, he’s no ordinary competitor.

If anyone handles Zhang Yuan as a regular Tier Four, they’ll surely be met with a big surprise!

Who would think he could have a super boost?

Zhang Yuan has leveraged this information gap to best strong enemies again and again.

The problem is finding the target.

Even if Zhang Yuan has great skills, he can only lament helplessly if the target is elusive.

This task is obviously more troublesome than he anticipated.

But since he’s here, he doesn’t want to retreat and plans to stay around and wait.

He’s alone, and living in Xia Ruins allows him to cultivate there, just as he can here.

"No problem!"

For Zhang Yuan’s request, Chen Qi agreed without hesitation: "Leave it to me. But Gongzi, do you want to stay on Land Island or the outer waters?"

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and answered: "Any place close to Great Chen Island will do."

To Zhang Yuan, living on water is more comfortable and safer than on land.

If he encounters danger he can’t resist, he can always dive into the water; in the entire Great Dream Marsh, who could possibly stop him?

Chen Qi readily agreed and acted swiftly.

By the next afternoon, he had found Zhang Yuan a stilt house on the water near Great Chen Island.

This house is just half a mile from Land Island and not within the main residential area of the water people.

The nearest neighbors are a hundred steps away.

One could say it perfectly fits Zhang Yuan’s requirements.

According to Chen Qi, he had purchased the house already, so Zhang Yuan could stay as long as he wants.

These water stilt houses are inexpensive, and construction materials are all available on Land Island, requiring only more manual labor. They can be erected quickly.

If Zhang Yuan is satisfied with it, otherwise Chen Qi can even build up another one at his preferred location!

Zhang Yuan didn’t find it necessary.

After staying on the water for two days, he quickly got accustomed to life here.

Currently, it’s the transition between spring and summer, and the weather is still not hot, with a very pleasant temperature.

The biggest trouble is the mosquitoes.

But every household uses fish oil lamps that repel them; if dried mugwort is also lit inside, that basically resolves the problem.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan spent his days practicing the "Righteous Qi Technique" in his house, occasionally visiting the island to purchase supplies.

At night, he would dive underwater to explore the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, the waters around Great Chen Island rarely host large fish.

They’ve probably been fished to exhaustion.

In fact, the waters didn’t contain worthy fish schools and required searching further away.

People living here mostly make a living from fishing and cultivating Gorgon fruit.

Gorgon fruit grows in water, yielding two seasons yearly. The husked seeds are large, with purple skin and white heart, and taste good.

This grain not only fills the belly but can also be used for brewing wine.

Sustaining countless lives in the Great Dream Marsh!

Zhang Yuan quite enjoys eating it.

Time passed day by day; suddenly it was midsummer.

The weather grew increasingly hot, but no news of Yan Wushuang emerged.

Zhang Yuan met Chen Qi several times.

The latter was also at a loss.

But Zhang Yuan had plenty of patience.

He planned to stay in the Great Dream Marsh until the year’s end.

If still, there’s no news by then.

Then he’ll return to the Xia Ruins.

That way, he’d be worthy of Han Zixun’s gift of the "Carefree Travel" manual.

Truthfully, during this period, Zhang Yuan feels like he’s on paid vacation!

Yet Zhang Yuan’s life in the Great Dream Marsh wasn’t always peaceful; there’s often a teenager visiting him, bringing river delicacies like fish, shrimps, turtles, and eels.

This teenager is naturally Shuisheng.

Interestingly, Young Shuisheng insists on not taking the silver taels Zhang Yuan offers.

To avoid being forcefully given money, he’d sometimes hurl the items onto the boathouse.

Then promptly vanish into the water.
