My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 454 Big Fish

Yuan then looked at the river, closed his eyes, and opened his divine sense to see what kind of monsters were hiding inside.

'Oh, there are so many big fish concealing themselves under the muddy water of the river. Moreover, some of them are really massive too!' Yuan's eyes shone brightly as he noticed various types of fish swimming in the river, most of which were flesh-eating monsters.

A single fish would easily weigh more than fifty kilograms, and there were so many of them. Each one was quite powerful and fast underwater; even a powerful warrior could be easily dragged into the water by these fish. Additionally, all the fish had tough scales that acted as armor, protecting them from powerful underwater predators. These scales were also offensive, being quite sharp.

'That fish looks like a wild catfish… I wonder if it will taste the same or different,' Yuan thought, looking at the massive fish with the appearance of a wild catfish. He couldn't remember the last time he had eaten fish.

Suddenly, he felt Xi Meili tugging his sleeve. She said, "Hubby, there are so many big fish. How about we catch some and have them for dinner?"

"Sure, why not? Of course, we can do that," Yuan replied with a smile. He was also curious about the fish.

'The only problem is that I don't know how we are supposed to catch those fish… wait a moment, I guess I have an idea!' Yuan suddenly thought, quickly turning to look at Xi Meili.

"Hubby?" Xi Meili looked at Yuan with a confused expression, wondering what he was thinking.

Without saying anything, Yuan retrieved his sword from his system storage, stepped onto the sword, and soared into the sky.

"Xi Meili, focus your dragon aura on the biggest fish you can find and make it unconscious. That will make the fish float to the surface of the water."

"Leave it to me, hubby. I'll target the biggest fish in the river," Xi Meili exclaimed excitedly. She quickly closed her eyes and used her divine sense.

Suddenly, a profound and ancient aura erupted from her body, covering the entire river. Every fish in the river trembled in fear and became restless, feeling as though they were all going to die.

Once she found a fish she was satisfied with, she increased her aura and focused it directly on the fish. The fish became unconscious under the powerful aura of a divine dragon and floated to the surface of the water.

"Oh, this is a large one. Very good, Xi Meili. You're really awesome!" Yuan looked at the fish with a surprised expression. The size of the fish was enormous.

The fish would easily weigh more than four hundred kilograms and was nine feet long. Its tough body was covered in reddish-brown scales.

Without wasting a moment, Yuan quickly grabbed the fish by its tail, pulled it out of the water, and flew toward his wives.

"Amazing! Such a huge fish!" Mireya looked at the fish with wide-open eyes, sparkling with excitement like a child seeing a big fish for the first time.

"I've never seen such a big fish before. Amazing!" Sylvia was also surprised by the massive size of the fish and couldn't contain her excitement.

"Such a big fish, this will definitely taste wonderful!" Valeria added with a smile. She was also surprised by the size of the fish and eager to try it.

A few minutes later, they returned to their camp and directly approached their tent, ignoring everything else. People were speechless upon noticing the big fish Yuan was carrying as if it were a small fish, and they were dumbfounded by its sheer size.

Most of them had never seen such a big fish before, and a commotion arose as people began to whisper about the fish Yuan had caught in the river. Hearing the commotion, King Richard and representatives from other nations came out of their tents and looked at the fish with wide-open eyes.

"Unbelievable… Where did he catch that thing? It's huge!" Daniel exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"The last time I saw such a huge fish was when I was very young, but even that fish can't compare to this one… I'm very curious about how it will taste," King Richard said in a calm voice, though he failed to hide his interest in the fish. Such a big fish couldn't be found every day.

Archmage Valeria approached King Richard and added, "How about we go and ask how he managed to catch such a big fish?"

"Well, what are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Archmage Eldrick quickly responded, his eyes sparkling and a wide grin on his face. 'Such a big fish, it will definitely taste great!' he pondered with excitement.

Shortly, they all headed toward Yuan's tent with small, excited grins on their faces.

Meanwhile, Yuan arrived at his tent, and his other wives were surprised upon seeing the massive fish he was carrying.

"Such a big fish! Where did you catch it, Yuan?" Lily immediately stood up and approached him with an excited look on her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Well, I caught this in the river with Xi Meili's help," Yuan replied with a smile. Then he took out a large wooden board and placed the fish on it.

His other wives also approached him after seeing the huge fish and bombarded him with questions. After answering their questions, Yuan retrieved a dagger from his system storage and looked at the fish from every angle.

He had never cut a fish before, so he had no idea where to start. First, he needed to remove all the hard scales from the fish, which were as tough as steel and quite large.

"Are you going to just stare at this fish, or are you going to prepare it to cook?" Anna's voice suddenly resounded, snapping Yuan out of his daze.

"Of course, I'm going to prepare the fish and cut it to the perfect size. I was just wondering where to start," Yuan said with a smile before approaching the fish.

Using his Qi to handle the dagger, he began removing the scales easily. It only took him a few minutes to remove all the scales from the fish.

"Amazing! You removed all the scales so easily!" Valeria exclaimed, surprised by Yuan's skill. She didn't expect him to be good at everything he did.

Yuan couldn't help but smile at Valeria upon hearing this. He then flipped the fish, ready to cut it.

"You've caught a very big fish, Yuan. I'm speechless!"

Just as he was about to cut the fish, Yuan heard Daniel's voice from behind. He quickly turned around and saw that not only Daniel, but also King Richard, Archmage Isadora, and Archmage Eldrick were there.

"Oh, it's nothing. When I arrived at the riverside, I saw it swimming around the edges of the river and managed to catch it with a little help from one of my wives," Yuan replied with a smile as he began chopping the fish into smaller pieces.

"It seems that you're quite lucky, Yuan," Archmage Isadora said with a smile, impressed by how casually Yuan spoke about catching the fish.

'So it's this young lady who helped him catch the fish, huh? She is so beautiful! And those horns…I've never seen anything like it. I wonder which demi human race she belongs to,' Archmage Isadora thought as she followed Yuan's gaze and looked at Xi Meili with a surprised expression.

Sometime later, Yuan finished chopping the big fish and gave a huge chunk to King Richard and the others before sending them away from the tent.

Once they left, Yuan washed his hands and pulled Anna into his embrace, kissing her on the lips. Mireya and Sylvia blushed a little at the sight.

"Mom, cook the fish to the best of your abilities…" Yuan whispered in her ear after ending the passionate kiss.

"Leave it to me, dear," she responded with a happy smile.

She set aside a few kilograms of fish to cook and put the rest into her spatial ring. Then she retrieved a large frying pan, placed it on the fire, and let it warm up.

While Anna began cooking the fish with Emma and Leah's help, Yuan spent some quality time with his other wives, especially Xi Meili, spoiling her a lot.

Sometime later, he heard Anna's voice from outside, calling him and his wives for dinner.

"Let's go and eat. I bet Mom prepared the fish to the best of her abilities, as I can smell the delicious aroma from here," Yuan said as he stood up and headed outside the tent. His wives also stood up and followed him with excited looks on their faces.

"Wow! This smell…it's so incredible and delicious!" Xi Meili exclaimed excitedly, sniffing the air like a dog, her eyes sparkling brilliantly.

Seeing her actions, everyone in Yuan's family laughed, unable to contain their laughter at how cute Xi Meili looked.

A few seconds later, Emma and Leah began serving the food to everyone, including themselves. Once everything was served, they also took their seats and began enjoying the meal.
