Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Giving CPR to the Water Ghost!

Translator: 549690339

“…”

Ma Long was dumbfounded: “Xu Yang, Brother Xu, my Master Xu, a dead body was just fished out of here, and you’re still fishing?”

Not just him.

The onlookers were also dumbfounded.

They had seen bold people before, but never anyone this audacious!

Someone raised their phone to record a video and uploaded it online.

Soon enough.

The video began to ferment on the internet.

With the previous big news of “Fishing up a dead body” for traffic, Xu Yang, the “bold fisherman,” quickly went viral, and after brewing for two or three hours, even made it on the trending list, but since it was nighttime, his face wasn’t captured in the footage.

As for this, Xu Yang was unaware.

He sat by the river, holding his fishing rod, somewhat reminiscent of the scene of Jiang Taigong fishing.

At this moment, it was already midnight, the onlookers and loiterers had long since left, and even the traffic on the road had decreased significantly.

Ma Long stood nearby, urging Xu Yang to go home for the umpteenth time, but Xu Yang always refused with “the fish hasn’t bitten yet.”

“Xu Yang!”

“It’s midnight…Let’s go home!”

“I always feel a bit uneasy…It doesn’t matter if the fish doesn’t bite, at least it’s better than being empty handed.”

As Ma Long was speaking.

Xu Yang lifted the fishing rod, catching a fat carp.

This carp weighed at least three kilograms, a genuine large Yellow River carp!

“Such a big carp?”

Ma Long approached, holding the bucket to put the carp in, and said, “Xu Yang, the fish has bitten now, can we go home now…huh? What’s that sound?”

As Ma Long was collecting the fish, the faint, ghostly figure resurfaced on the water.

Desperate cries for help came from the river.

It was draped in aquatic plants, with disheveled hair and pus-filled sores all over its body, looking extremely disgusting.

However, at this moment.

What Ma Long saw was a beautiful woman.

“Help!”

“Help me… Who will save me!”

His eyes were hazy, looking at the beautiful woman struggling and calling for help in the river. He immediately started to undress and yelled, “Xu Yang, someone fell into the water, hurry and save them!”

“Huh?”

As soon as Xu Yang saw the look in Ma Long’s eyes, he knew he had been bewitched by a ghost and immediately tried to stop him: “Ma Long, don’t…”

But.

It was already too late.

Ma Long had already stripped down to his underwear.

“Xu Yang, don’t worry, I’ve been swimming in the Yellow River since I was a kid. They call me Langli Xiaobailong for a reason… We have to save her!”

Without any hesitation.

He plunged into the water with a splash and swam towards the water ghost using a doggy paddle.

“Help…”

“Help…”

The water ghost’s cries for help were incredibly sweet and seductive, seemingly possessing some bewitching power.

Coupled with the fact that she had already mesmerized Ma Long, at this moment, the only thought in his mind was “hero saves beauty, and devotes himself to her!”

“Damn it!”

Xu Yang’s face changed drastically!

His initial plan was to “hook” the water ghost onto the shore to deal with it. But now that Ma Long had jumped into the water, he had no choice but to follow and shouted: “Ma Long, be careful, that’s not a person!”

Xu Yang thought highly of his own swimming skills.

But after jumping into the water, he realized that he was far inferior to that jerk Ma Long.

Even using his magical powers, he couldn’t catch up to Ma Long for a while. The latter swiftly moved forward in the water, indeed resembling the momentum of “Langli Xiaobailong.”

To be honest.

Even the water ghost was stunned!

This man…

Had such strong swimming skills!

A smile flashed across her rotting face as she prepared to use her magic to pull him into the water and devour him, but to her surprise…

Whoosh!

He actually hugged her neck directly, turned around and swam back to shore.

“Miss!”

“Don’t be afraid!”

“I am Langli Xiaobailong, I will definitely save you!”

Water Ghost: “…”

She was shocked, her Yin energy surged, wrapping around Ma Long, trying to drag him into the water. However, she was surprised to find…

As soon as her Yin energy touched this human, it disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea–gone in an instant!

How could this happen?

How could this human absorb my Yin energy?

The Water Ghost panicked!

She wanted to turn into Yin energy and escape, but found that his arm was strong and powerful, gripping her firmly!

So, she struggled in the water with all her strength.

“Let me go!”

“Quickly, let me go… save me!”

“Little sister, don’t move!”

Ma Long shouted: “If you keep this up, we might both die here today!”

With that, he dragged the Water Ghost ashore.

Xu Yang: “…”

He had just jumped into the water.

Thinking about rescuing Ma Long.

But after seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded!

What’s going on???

He hurried upstream and saw Ma Long pinning the Water Ghost to the ground. The Water Ghost struggled desperately, her voice turning into a sob, while Ma Long chuckled: “Little sister, don’t be afraid!”

“I’ve studied nursing!”

“I also know professional first aid!”

“You fell into the water, now the most important thing is to perform CPR and artificial respiration on you… Lie down, relax, relax… Huh? Why is your chest flat?”

“Bastard!”

“Let me go… wuwuwuwu!”

The female ghost’s mouth was sealed!

Ma Long forcefully performed artificial respiration, then suddenly raised his head with a “darn it” expression on his face, shouting: “Holy crap, why does your mouth stink so much? Is this… pus and blood?”

The next moment.

The confusion in his eyes vanished.

Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the “beautiful woman” beneath him.

Where was the beauty in this?

It was simply disgusting and horrifying!

“Uh…”

“Ghost!!!”

Ma Long jumped three feet high, turned around and ran, shouting while running: “Xu Yang, run quickly, there really is a ghost!”

As soon as he left the Water Ghost’s side, she immediately felt her Yin energy flowing smoothly again.

She glanced at Ma Long, with a hint of fear in her eyes, and transformed into a wisp of Yin energy, trying to dive into the river!

How could Xu Yang let her have her way?

He raised his hand, and the peach wood sword appeared. His Qi Refining Realm fourth stage cultivation exploded, as he shouted: “Monster, where do you think you’re going?”

Hum!

A sword slashed down!

That wisp of Yin energy was forced to fly back to the shore.

The Yin energy landed and reformed into the hideous appearance of the Water Ghost, with the water plants and hair on her head dancing wildly, she angrily shouted: “A Daoist? With your little cultivation, you dare to stop me?”

Xu Yang said nothing, and took out a “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” left by the old man!

The Yellow River is too big!

This Water Ghost is not weak!

Trying to stop her from going into the river is a bit unrealistic!

Xu Yang is well aware of this!

“Once she’s in the river, I’m no match for her… but how can I scare her?”

Xu Yang’s brain raced, suddenly inspired, he looked at Ma Long who had run tens of meters away, and sneered: “You are just a Water Ghost, and you dare to harm people? Believe it or not, I’ll have my brother kill you!”

Upon hearing this, the Water Ghost trembled involuntarily and glanced at Ma Long.

“Ding!”

“The Water Ghost is frightened, Merit Value +10, Water Manipulation Skill +1.”
