to pretend she hadn't seen anything and said, "Let's deploy the combat plan for tonight in detail."She then outlined each location and sector that the various leaders were responsible for attacking to...It's a pity, though, that Ye Fan did nothing but stand silently in the wind, gazing at the Dragon Girl.

Lan Hai Kun couldn't stop pounding his chest and stomping his feet, lamenting with regret. He swore that if he truly had such a foolish nephew, he would definitely kick this wooden block to death.

Looking at Ye Fan so closely, the Dragon Woman's heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts. She couldn't help but think about all the hardships she had endured over the years. Though she longed for him deeply, every time she saw him, she could only feign indifference and walk away.

Long Nü's heart ached, and for the first time in ages, hot tears welled up silently.

"The Dragon Maiden," Ye Fan's heart ached.

Hearing Ye Fan's call, the Dragon Girl didn't know why, her tears flowed even more pitifully. Big, teary drops slid down her beautiful cheeks.

This was the first time she had cried in years. Back then, when the Dragon Head died, the Dragon Girl hadn't shed a tear. But at this moment, the Dragon Girl suddenly felt like crying her heart out.

Ye Fan's heart ached tremendously, but all he could do was gently wipe away the tears from the Dragon Girl's face. There was nothing else Ye Fan could think of to do for her.

Lan Hai Kun, who was secretly watching from the side, thought to himself, "It seems these two kids are caught in a web of love and hate. Perhaps there's some deep-seated grudge between them. This old man should best stay out of it."

Thinking of this, Lan Haikun quietly turned around, found a tranquil place, and continued fishing.

"Dragon Girl, don't cry. I know you are wronged. These years, I have been working hard too, never stopping to find the mastermind behind this. Now that I've finally found them, I will definitely avenge Dragon Head."

Ye Fan seeing the Dragon Girl cry, he too felt uneasy in his heart. To be honest, he also wanted to cry his heart out, but as a man, he was destined to bleed but not to weep.

Then he began to comfort the Dragon Girl.

It's just that Ye Fan didn't mention it at first. Once he did, the Dragon Girl cried even harder, to the point where she finally clung to Ye Fan's shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ye Fan's heart was filled with excruciating pain. He would rather be beaten to a pulp himself than see Long Nü crying, especially like this—so heartbroken and helpless. It was unbearable, even worse than killing him.

However, luckily, the Dragon Girl only cried on Ye Fan's shoulder for a while. Being strong-willed, she immediately pushed Ye Fan away and quickly wiped away her tears. Her emotions slowly calmed down, and her face turned cold all of a sudden.

"Uh"

For Ye Fan, it was quite jarring to see such a dramatic shift in the expressions of the two women. If not for the dampness on his shoulder from the dragon woman's tears moments ago, he would have almost thought what had just happened was an illusion.

"I have a way to catch fish." The Dragon Girl collected herself, returning to her previous cold demeanor.

But the moment she spoke, Ye Fan was stunned. He hurriedly asked, "What method"

"You just have to like this"

Long Nü then told Ye Fan her plan.

After hearing this, Ye Fan's heart suddenly became enlightened, exclaiming that this would work.

However, to successfully get close to Miao Bingxin, I had no choice but to resort to some underhanded tactics.

Words transform into action, Ye Fan immediately went to secretly deploy.

Isn't fishing without bait just using a bare hook It's something that might be impossible for others, but for Ye Fan, it's incredibly easy.

Ye Fan and Longnu greeted Lan Haikun, asking him to definitely keep Miao Bingxin if he found her.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Then the two hurried away, parting ways.

Left behind was only a face full of suspicion on Lan Hai Kun. These two, what exactly were they doing Wasn't it said that things were urgent But how could they still have time to go out and play Could it be they went out for a date

In just a short while, Ye Fan and the Dragon Girl returned. However, in their hands they were carrying an extra-large fishing rod, so to speak. Besides having a hook, Lan Hai Kun couldn't really tell where this resembled a fishing rod at all.

"This is really the latest fishing rod," Although Ye Fan said that this could catch fish, Lan Hai Kun still asked several times in succession, expressing that he was really doubtful in his heart.

"Of course." Ye Fan said solemnly, "And this isn't just any ordinary fishing rod, this is a fishing rod that can catch big fish."

They are naturally aiming for Miao Bingxin, the big fish they want to catch. What they need to do now is patiently wait and play the waiting game, like anglers luring a fish onto their hook.

With this, Ye Fan didn't believe that Miao Bingxin wouldn't be hooked.

Hee hee

Looking at Ye Fan and the others with their mysterious and unfathomable appearances, Lan Hai Kun dispelled his thoughts of further inquiry and contentedly cast his line to fish.

Ye Fan and the Dragon Girl were also spending their time leisurely. If Miao Bingxin didn't appear, that was fine; but if she did, they had absolute confidence in taking her down in one fell swoop.

To Ye Fan's and their disappointment, they waited for several hours on the island of Absolute Fish until sunset. Yet, that Miao Bingxin still didn't appear.

Meanwhile, Lan Hai Kun was leisurely packing up his fishing rod, humming a little tune, and planning to head home.

His hook, of course, was empty. He didn't catch a single fish all afternoon, not even a glimpse of one.

But it seems Lan Hai Kun has gotten used to it. He doesn't seem to feel anything, instead he seems to enjoy this fishing time.

"Lan Lao, is there really no way to contact Miao Bingxin"

Ye Fan looked at Lan Hai Kun who had already packed up his fishing rod and said unconvinced.

"No." Lan Haikun said bluntly, "Kid, wait patiently. Doing things requires patience. Believe me, as long as you wait here, you will eventually see Miao Bingxin."

Lan Hai Kun patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, giving him an encouraging look, meaning I believe in you. Then Lan Hai Kun turned and left.

Ye Fan helplessly, could only and the Dragon Girl also put away the fishing rod, a day's time just like this wasted, but there is no way, tomorrow continue to find a way.

Just then, Lan Hai Kun went back and forth. Ye Fan was delighted and quickly put down the fishing rod in his hand, eagerly saying, "Mr. Lan"

"Don't misunderstand," Lan Haikun said with a grin, waving his hand. "I came back just to ask you guys, are you going back to the headquarters with me tonight I have a really big and comfortable bed there, oh."

Ye Fan's face was full of black lines, this old geezer, what the hell was he thinking

But luckily, the Dragon Girl wasn't there at the time, otherwise, she would probably be very embarrassed.

"No need, thank you for your kindness," Ye Fan said blankly.

Lan Hai Kun glanced at the mermaid in the distance, whose hair was being tossed by the waves. He suddenly leaned close to Ye Fan's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Kid, looks like you're out of luck. Let me teach you a trick that will guarantee she'll have no feelings for you whatsoever."in disbelief, staring at the small hole before her with shock etched across her face.She mumbled a little: "This is your doing."Just as the green snake's nails scratched across it, three strands of He...
