Chapter 815: A mere fish spirit is not worthy of being compared with me
"She won't give you the fish, and she won't talk to you slowly."
The peach tree demon appeared beside the two of them at some point. She accurately found the fish in the dark grass and picked it up.
The little fish's body was covered with dirty grass leaves and it stopped moving, as if it was dead.
The peach tree demon hurriedly put it into the mineral water bottle she carried with her - the mouth of the mineral water bottle had been cut off by her, and the space inside was not large, but it could barely be used as a fish tank.
The little red goldfish floated quietly in the water for a few seconds, then its tail slowly swayed a few times and finally it regained its vitality.
The peach tree demon breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Luckily I'm not too late. Otherwise, I would have messed up and it would have been difficult to explain to the Immortal."
The woman in the red dress stared at the peach tree demon warily: "Who are you? Give me back the fish!"
He was about to snatch the fish from her hand.
The peach tree demon took a few steps back and easily avoided her snatch.
"Give it back to you?" The peach tree demon sneered, "You stole someone else's body and wanted to kill her. You are really cruel."
The woman in the red dress's face changed and she turned around and wanted to leave.
The peach tree demon shouted, "Fish demon, stop!"
The next moment her steps were frozen, unable to take another step forward.
She looked at the peach tree demon in horror: "You, you are also a demon?"
"Also?" The peach tree demon chuckled and shook his head: "You used the wrong word. You can only be considered a spirit at best, not a demon yet, so how can you use the word 'also'? You are just a mere fish demon, not even worthy of being compared with me."
The woman's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She suddenly remembered something and asked the man next to her for help: "Husband, help! She wants to hurt me, drive her away quickly!"
"What the hell is going on? What happened to my wife?"
Zhiyu Zhile hadn't reacted yet. He just saw his wife suddenly standing there unable to move. He immediately checked on her condition worriedly and didn't care about the fish anymore.
The peach tree demon stuffed the fish into his hand and said, "This is your wife! Here, take it."
Zhiyu Zhile was a little confused: "Sister Tao, what did you say? This fish...don't joke!"
"Who's kidding you?" The peach tree demon rolled his eyes at him. "If it wasn't for saving people, would I have come all the way here? Do you think I have nothing to do?"
As she said that, she glared at the woman in the red dress and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I will make your soul fly away!"
Although the peach tree demon usually smiles and looks easy to talk to, she is actually the most murderous among the tree demons.
She just released a little bit of her pressure, and the little fish spirit immediately became timid.
"Don't, don't kill me. My cultivation has not been easy. I have finally gained a little bit of Taoism and spiritual wisdom!"
Under the pressure of the peach tree demon, she began to tell her story in detail.
She was originally a small fish living in a wild pond and spent decades in confusion.
During those years, she spent her days looking for food and resting. She had a simple mind and lived solely on instinct.
Suddenly one day, "it" began to have thoughts, floating on the water every day looking at the outside world.
The world outside is so wonderful and big!
There are the sun, the moon, the stars, flowers, birds, trees, and occasionally people. Everything there is so bright and beautiful, making people yearn for it, and it is completely different from their own world.
It loved that world so much that it forgot that water was the best protection for itself.
One day, it was caught in a net and locked in a pond.
The pond is not big, but it is densely packed with fish.
The fish kept leaving and new members kept coming in.
From time to time, tall humans would look in from outside the pond and stir the water with fishing nets.
Every time a fish was caught, they would laugh happily.
And it is the most special one among them.
Her intelligence has been awakened, and her adaptability and learning abilities are increasing day by day.
Soon it understood what humans said and even learned to observe secretly, so it could cleverly avoid the fishing nets when they came.
But after a long time, it knew that it could not stay here any longer.
Even if it is not fished out, even if it will not die easily, this small pond is really not a good place.
But it was just a small fish spirit, a monster that had only recently gained intelligence and did not have much power, so it had no way of leaving the water.
If you want to leave here, you must be rescued by someone.
But no one knows where it will go after being fished away?
One day, it met a young couple.
The woman wanted to catch the fish, but the man disagreed, saying, "These small fish are hard to keep alive. If you catch them, they will die in a few days. I will feel bad about it."
The woman said, "It's just for fun. I just want to play."
So the man paid her the money lovingly and exchanged it for two small net bags.
They are like spirits and are naturally sensitive.
The little fish spirit could sense the man's love for fish, which was completely different from the other people who came to fish purely for fun.
If I want to leave here, if I have to be rescued by someone, it should be much safer to go with him, right?
So the little fish swam into his net bag and was picked up by him without any struggle.
The man thought it was very interesting at the time: "This fish is really funny. It actually swam into my net by itself. It seems like it is fate."
In this way, the little fish was brought to the man's home and lived in a glass fish tank.
Through the transparent fish tank, it saw the man’s warm and bright home, as well as the sweet and happy life of the young couple.
As expected, the man was a very nice person. He stayed in front of the fish tank for a long time every day, not only feeding it, but also playing with it with his fingers and sometimes chatting with it.
"Little Fish, you are so pretty, and so red just like a ruby."
"Let me give you a name, let's call you... Hong'er? Hong'er, do you like this name?"
"Hong'er, my wife just scolded me again. She said I was almost going crazy from raising fish. She was so gentle when we were studying. Why did she become so nagging after getting married?"
"Hong'er, every time I talk to you, you look at me motionlessly, as if you really understand me."
"Haha, I'm really crazy. You actually think you can understand me? If my wife knew this, she would probably scold me again."
"Hong'er, I got a bonus today, so I can buy you a bigger fish tank so you can live more comfortably."
"Hong'er, my wife is jealous because I always look at you. She wants me to send you away, otherwise she won't live with me anymore."
"Hong'er, I'm sorry, I can't let you stay in my house any longer. Don't worry, I will find another place for you... Oh, where should I send the fish?"
The man was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect that what he said was actually understood by a fish.
