Fox Has No Malicious Intent

[I'm out to sea fishing now. Don't go near the South Island until I return. Something happened at the zoo there, and all the animals have escaped.]

[By the way! Don't reply to the message. I'm using Ah Qing's phone to send this to you.]

The little fox sneaked into a corner, typing with its One Finger Zen technique on the chat log of the Penguin account, eyes full of guilt, afraid of being seen or caught by Ah Qing.

After sending the message, Ansheng quickly put Yu Xueqing's phone back in place, face full of justification.

"Hmm?"

Yu Xueqing, after changing into waterproof clothes, saw her fox standing tall with a serious fox demeanor, immediately showing a puzzled expression and asked, "Did you do something bad?"

"Eep eep—"

The little fox firmly shook its head.

"Alright! I believe you... But you also need to put on a life jacket, just in case you fall into the sea." Yu Xueqing took out a dog-sized life jacket, fastened it on Ansheng, before placing him on the deck of the fishing boat.

This fishing boat, named the [Hunter], is different from the usual skiff plastic boats. It's a massive one, nearly twenty-four meters long and almost five meters wide.

There are sixteen fixed fishing positions on board, and one voyage lasts seven days and six nights, fishing from the East Sea to the South Sea.

Of course.

Qiu Lingling did not plan such an outrageous itinerary.

She just came to hitch a ride, and when the Hunter reaches the second fishing spot, Qiu Lingling would take Yu Xueqing and Mo Yiqing to transfer onto a fishing boat and return to the Golden Bay Hotel for rest around six in the morning.

If it were really a seven-day six-night trip, not to mention whether Yu Xueqing and Mo Yiqing could stand the sea winds and waves, Qiu Lingling would be the first to go crazy. Going to sea is very boring.

First, there's no signal, no internet, and the surrounding scenery is just the endless blue sea.

Even taking a cruise for leisure is boring for Qiu Lingling, who makes a living at sea all year round.

As for why...

Why so many people are willing to pay six to seven thousand or even tens of thousands for a sea fishing trip.

Some are gamblers, seeking excitement.

Another part is unspeakable without getting jailed. However, the [Hunter] is a legitimate sea fishing boat and does not provide any gambling sites or illegal services.

"As mentioned earlier, on our boat, there are sixteen fixed fishing positions, three are reserved for our crew, and the rest are decided by drawing lots. Does everyone have any objections?"

Captain Zheng of the [Hunter], after sailing the boat to the first fishing spot, gathered all the anglers at the stern deck and explained the rules.

Which fishing spot one gets is purely by luck and appearance, so no one should complain if they end up empty-handed.

They retained three fishing spots, and the others were decided by drawing lots among the anglers themselves.

Thirteen anglers each got a card, took positions according to the poker hand ranking, set up their gear at their spots, and took out their sea fishing rods.

There are electric reel sea fishing rods on the fixed positions, but they are not needed yet.

The fish caught by sea fishing reels are from the seabed, and the first fishing spot is for catching squid.

Typically, the fish caught at the first spot are the bait needed for subsequent fishing.

Sea fishing boats are different from regular fishing boats; they go directly for deep-sea behemoths and high-value fish.

"Just like a lure rod, cast out, then slowly retrieve the rod to mimic the movement of small fish. When prey comes to eat the bait, it will be hooked."

With Qiu Lingling on board, the captains couldn't be bothered to join in the youngsters' gathering, so after Qiu Lingling assured watching over her friends, they led the crew to start fishing.

Captain Zheng is also an angler.

He worked in a foreign company, from hand rod to lure, then from an inflatable boat to a speedboat.

He realized the expenditure on fishing was too high, and his wife was about to run off with the neighbor Lao Wang.

He resolutely decided not to veer off path anymore, buying a sea fishing boat capable of offshore trips.

He ditched hand rods, lure rods, sea rods and directly equipped sixteen electric reel sea fishing reels.

Setting everything up in one go, he wouldn't take detours or waste money on fishing anymore.

"Got one!"

Qiu Lingling cast her rod sideways, the reel making a crisp sound as the line went out. She made a few jerks of the rod in the spotlight area and hooked a squid in less than thirty seconds.

"Little Fox, open wide! Have a bite of the fresh one!" Qiu Lingling reeled back the rod, pinched the squid hard on its human pressure point, causing it to faintly squirt, and tossed the squid smilingly to the eagerly eyeing little fox nearby.

"...Isn't this just too fresh?"

Ansheng looked at the still twitching squid and couldn't help but complain to Qiu Lingling, "I'll say it first, if I eat raw food, you can't say my breath stinks!"

Freshly caught squid can indeed be eaten raw, but Ansheng thought raw was not as good as cooked.

Not mentioning anything else, at least slice it up and give me a dish of wasabi soy sauce as an accent, right?

Ansheng bit on the big squid given by Qiu Lingling and walked towards the lounge in the cabin.

Earlier, he saw one of the anglers brought a fresh wasabi root onboard while changing clothes.

Ansheng jumped onto the counter, tossed the squid covered in seawater into a basin for washing, and washed his mouth and paws along the way.

The little fox hooked a paw onto the cutting board, reaching out, revealing its nails, and polished them on the whetstone a bit.

"First, fillet you, then grind the wasabi..."

The little fox closed the cabin door, returned to the counter and began working, slicing the squid, then using its nails as a knife to stab into the wasabi, then one hand grating with a wasabi grater, and the other hand grinding the wasabi.

Although it was for self-consumption, Ansheng still paid a little attention to hygiene.

It's just a pity... worried about scaring Ah Qing, otherwise, Ansheng would have invited her over to taste the sashimi, no matter what.

"Woof woof woof—"

And just when the little fox was meticulously plating, wanting to showcase its cooking skills.

Suddenly, a familiar barking sound echoed on the sea.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Ansheng's eyes widened, and he quickly stood on two legs, leaning on the counter's porthole, peering out at the sea beyond the sea fishing deck, using the squid fishing spotlight to see a speedboat speeding by.

An eight-engine speedboat, except for the engine in the sea, the rest of its body was hovering above the water.

A giant white werewolf stood upright, naturally leaning forward, one hand on the steering wheel, and the other on the throttle control lever.

On the speedboat, nearly twenty dogs were wildly barking, seemingly thrilled by the scene.

"What the hell is that!"

White, having achieved a second transformation stage, had no qualms about being seen when heading out to sea in pursuit of the speedboat, passing openly by the [Hunter].

The anglers on the boat suddenly saw a scene of a white wolf driving the speedboat and exclaimed in shock, drawing more anglers' attention.

"Holy moly! Wolf! Speedboat! Dog Captain!" The anglers' expressions of shock surged like waves.

Even Yu Xueqing, Mo Yiqing, and Qiu Lingling moved to the other side of the ship to check out the gossip.

"Holy moly!"

Seeing Yu Xueqing and Qiu Lingling approach, Ansheng immediately showed an alarmed expression and whimpered:

"White! Stay away quickly! There's an undercover agent on the sea fishing boat!"

If Qiu Lingling and Yu Xueqing both saw Tu Song and White...

Its dog legs would surely be broken the next day.

Other people might not recognize White, but Yu Xueqing would undoubtedly recognize White's true form by voice.

Plus, with Qiu Lingling right beside, Ansheng simply couldn't imagine any reason for White not to have his dog legs broken.

"Howl?"

White, hearing Fox Bro's whimper, subconsciously showed a delighted expression, reflexively steering the speedboat towards the Hunter.

But as it entered the spotlight range, White also heard what Fox Bro was whimpering about.

Moreover.

Tu Song White also saw its little master.

White's wolf face visibly showed a panicked expression, pupils dilating in shock, and its legs softened.
