Chapter 608: 356 Chapter_2
"Little Black Dragon Your Highness, we have prepared some desserts and fruits for you, would you like to try some?"
"Sure."
The dragon cub took out a lollipop from the Lucky Coin and handed it to Ingrid, "Sweet but not greasy, and it also has health benefits. You can eat it as a lollipop or cut it into small pieces to make a drink. Here, take it, Little Black Dragon Your Highness rewards you with this."
Ingrid nearly got squashed by the lollipop, having never seen one so big before.
Little Black Dragon Your Highness was definitely a Little Dragon Highness—nobody would offer her a lollipop at their first meeting if not.
Little Dragon Highness was only generous to his own people. For strangers, they had to buy any snacks with money.
"Thank you, Little Black Dragon Your Highness."
"You're welcome."
Lance patted the dragon cub's head, then moved past it to the first floor hall. The dragon cub took a plate from Tixia, followed Lance with the plate, picked up a piece of dessert, and put it in his mouth, feeling it disappear before he even got to taste it.
The dragon cub simply opened his mouth wide and dumped all the desserts and fruits from the tray into his mouth. His mouth was just that big.
Scaring little kids now was a piece of cake for her—one kid per bite.
Luckily, no one knew she was the Imperial Princess of the Phalan Empire.
Thinking about it, even if she told Tixia and Ingrid she was the Imperial Princess of the Phalan Empire, they probably wouldn't believe it.
Who has ever seen a princess gobble down food like that?
What about royal etiquette?
What happened to the gracefulness of a princess?
Sigh...
When she turned back into a human, she really needed to practice how to eat gracefully.
She had almost forgotten how to dine elegantly after not doing so for a long time.
It was all Asina's fault.
"Why are you two still here?"
Bronze Giant Dragon Melbourne and Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln were sitting on the sofa in the first floor hall. Lance thought these two had left.
"What were you doing upstairs?"
"I set up an Array for Lance. His Primordial Spirit is vulnerable during astral projection, which can attract unwanted entities. With an Array, we can avoid unpleasant surprises.
I'm going to fish at the Dragon God Temple. Do you guys want to come?"
"???"
Fish...fishing?
What would a Black Dragon fish for?
If he wanted fish, he could just roar at the lake.
Wait...
Black Dragon fishing?
Koln thought of the dirty stuff—human Lance.
The first time he invaded human Lance's dreams, Lance was fishing.
Only fishing for carp and grass carp...
Human Lance fished, Black Dragon also fished?
Oh, they're good friends—it could be that they share similar bad habits.
Bad habits are contagious.
"What are you looking at me like that for? Lance got me into fishing; once you start, it's hard to stop. Have you ever fished before?"
"This boring hobby, you think we would engage in it?"
"Let's go, I'll show you what it's about."
"You think we're bored enough to watch you feed fish?"
"I have no interest in fishing either."
About an hour later, at a lake not far from the Dragon God Temple, Lance, Melbourne, Koln, and the dragon cub each had a fishing rod, sitting at fishing spots by the lake.
The fishing rods for Melbourne and Koln were rented by Lance.
One Gold Coin per hour.
If they caught fish, it was free. If not, one Gold Coin per hour.
Fishing wasn't very hard for beginners. As long as they could cast the line, watch the float, and hook the bait, as for float adjustment...
Beginners didn't need it as long as the float could float.
Since it was their first time fishing, Melbourne and Koln were a bit nervous. Seeing the float sink, they quickly reeled in, but naturally, there were no fish.
The dragon cub had prepared her fishing nest well, and not many casts later, she hooked a fish.
The sound of the line slicing through the water reached the dragon cub's ears, and she found it quite pleasant for the first time.
Melbourne and Koln saw the dragon cub's fishing rod bend into an arch by a big fish in the lake, and they looked on with strange expressions, especially hearing the sound of the line cutting through the water, which made them a bit itchy to try.
The dragon cub was still showing off...
What fish was she showing off with? The fish in the lake weren't big or strong like sea fish.
Just showing off.
The dragon cub was definitely showing off.
To provoke the Black Dragon.
Indeed, Lance felt provoked. In front of the two rookie giants, it would be quite embarrassing if he came up empty.
He was starting to miss Whale Mother.
At this point, he couldn't help but wish Whale Mother would hang a fish on his hook...
Even the dragon cub had started catching fish; he, a fully equipped fishing aficionado, couldn't just keep preparing the fishing nest.
He needed to show Melbourne and Koln, the two Giant Dragons, some real action.
Black Dragon had a bite!
Lance jerked the rod.
Whirrrr—
The sound of the line cutting through the water, the fishing rod bending dramatically...
Seated on the tackle box, Lance stood up to reel in the fish, alternately advancing and retreating...
Melbourne and Koln watched, exhilarated.
After about half an hour, Lance finally pulled the fish out of the water, and the knowledgeable Dragon Cub picked up the landing net to scoop it up.
"It's been a while since I caught such a big fish, this one must be around seventy or eighty pounds, perfect for dinner!"
Seventy or eighty pounds?!
Indeed, it's big.
Damn, Black Dragon managed to pull it up, how come the rod didn't break?
Or the line snap?
Keep tugging!
Today, I definitely have to catch a fish even bigger than the one Black Dragon caught!
At least four hundred pounds!!!
Melbourne, who had been fishing casually, and Koln got serious.
The Dragon Cub placed the fish into the fish-keeper and glanced sideways at Melbourne and Koln.
These two adult Giant Dragons... haven't they realized something is off with the Evil Dragon?
Evil Dragon is an adult Giant Dragon.
What difference does a seventy or eighty-pound fish make to an adult Giant Dragon, akin to a feather?
Clearly able to fly directly up, yet he insists on reeling in the fish...
This is clearly to tease the Bronze Giant Dragon and Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln...
Those two who said fishing was boring, couldn't even grasp this point...
It seems they've been led astray by the Evil Dragon.
Done...
It looks like there will be two more fishing enthusiasts among the adult Giant Dragons...
It's uncertain whether they can catch any fish, but on my first fishing attempt, I caught quite a few.
The Dragon Cub cleaned its Dragon Claws and picked up the fishing rod to fish again.
About half an hour later, the Dragon Cub heard a shout of "Yoho" and turned to see the Bronze Giant Dragon Melbourne had hooked a fish, too excited, he flung the fish directly from the lake to the shore.
Then, the Dragon Cub saw the smile on Melbourne's face suddenly freeze, a clueless look appearing in his teal vertical pupils.
Seeing this, the Dragon Cub laughed.
Melbourne was probably thinking, his fishing method wasn't like Black Dragon's.
A flying fish, robbing him of the joy of reeling in the fish.
"I feel like... it's the same as not having caught anything?"
"Fishing, you miss out on the sense of achievement if you don't reel them in!"
"....."
He just wondered why he felt less thrilled, turns out he hadn't reeled in the fish, he must control his strength, next time he hooks a fish, he can't just fly it up.
He needs to reel it in.
"Koln, we've both caught our fish, now it's just you left."
"Shut up, don't talk so loud, you'll scare away all the fish I've attracted."
Koln glared at his own float, scolding Melbourne.
Black Dragon hadn't even made fun of him yet, Melbourne this rascal started first.
They fished all morning.
Approaching noon, Koln also caught a fish, like Melbourne, he flew the fish straight up.
Missing out on the joy of fishing.
Just past twelve, Ingrid came to the lakeside to call the Dragon Cub back for lunch.
Lance followed as well.
In the afternoon, Lance planned to take the Dragon Cub back to Black Dragon Island, Melbourne and Koln found him and called him over for fishing...
He said he had no time.
Melbourne and Koln asked him to sell them a set of fishing gear each.
Lance sold one set for three hundred Gold Coins.
Two sets totaled six hundred Gold Coins.
His fishing gear was worth that price.
Including fishing lines, rods, tackle boxes, etc., he didn't overcharge, just made a bit of a markup for his craftsmanship.
