534 Falling Out

“This fish is so strong. Fortunately, I threw it quickly. Otherwise, I would have been pulled into the sea.”

Su Xiaolu patted her chest and pretended not to see An Lie’s expression.

An Lie was both overjoyed and devastated. The two emotions changed vividly on his face.

In any case, she did not care about the arowana. She did not care if she could see it or obtain it. However, An Lie was the only one who wanted this fish.

“You, why did you let go?”

Perhaps because he was too angry, An Lie could not calm down. His tone was also filled with resentment.

Su Xiaolu frowned unhappily and said, “It’s just a fis.h.i.+ng rod. I can compensate you. It’s not like I can’t afford it. Besides, that fish is so strong. What if it drags me into the sea? No matter how expensive a fis.h.i.+ng rod is, can it be more precious than me?”

An Lie was rendered speechless.

At this point, he no longer needed to pretend. He looked at Su Xiaolu coldly and said, “Su Lu, I have to get that arowana. The arowana is strong. You’re a martial artist, so I’m also strong. The two of us can definitely pull it onto the boat.”

Last time, he and his father were just a little too weak. If he had been stronger, he would not have returned empty-handed and even lost his father’s life for nothing.

He chose Su Xiaolu because he could tell that this person was strong in martial arts, so when the arowana bit the hook and Su Xiaolu let go of it, An Lie could no longer control his emotions.

Su Xiaolu crossed her arms and looked at An Lie coldly. “This fish is so strong. Why should I take this risk? If you want it, fish for it yourself. If I don’t want it, I can do whatever I want.”

The corners of An Lie’s mouth twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, “Su Lu, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. This dragon is very valuable. I only want the arowana heart, arowana blood, and arowana eyes. Everything else is yours. Let’s join forces and capture it.”

An Lie still did not want to fall out directly. He still wanted to use benefits to reach a consensus.

Su Xiaolu was unmoved.

An Lie was a little anxious. “Su Lu, if you don’t help me, I won’t take you to that place.”

Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie and smiled. “So be it. It’s not like I have to go.”

An Lie revealed a ruthless expression and looked at Su Xiaolu angrily. Su Xiaolu thought that he was going to attack her, but he squatted down with his head in his hands.

He looked conflicted and miserable.

“Su Lu, I don’t want to use you, but I really have no choice.”

“My mother is about to go blind. My sister still has a heart disease. Uncle… Uncle lost a leg two years ago to save someone from the sharks. Father also had a lung disease at that time. Arowana is the hope of my family…”

“They are all fickle people. What kins.h.i.+p? Once they see your family decline, they all want a share. If they knew about a precious treasure like the arowana, my family wouldn’t have a chance to use it. My father wanted to use this arowana to save his family, and that day was also extremely dangerous. My father had already stabbed the tail of the arowana. If he was younger and stronger, I wouldn’t be in this situation today… But he died, and he didn’t get the arowana…”

“Mother cried too much. If we wait any longer, she’ll go blind. Sister… Sister’s heart disease is acting up more and more frequently. They can’t wait any longer…”

An Lie told Su Xiaolu in pain. He was still unwilling to show his fierce side to Su Xiaolu. He could not do such a thing.

Tears were already streaming down his face. He looked up at Su Xiaolu and wiped the tears on his face. “Su Lu, as long as you agree to help, I’m willing to sell myself as a slave and be your slave for five years. I’ll follow you and serve you. I’ll do anything.”

No matter what the price was, he only wanted his family to survive and be with him longer.

“Get up first.”

Su Xiaolu’s voice softened. She did not expect An Lie to not attack her.

She could feel that An Lie had been forced into a dead end.

“How much do you know about this arowana? Tell me about it.”

Su Xiaolu did not like to be used. She was not good, but she was not bad either.

To put it bluntly, she was amenable to persuasion but not coercion.

If An Lie wanted to use force to threaten her, he would probably not get what he wanted. She would definitely not show mercy.

An Lie looked at Su Xiaolu’s softened expression. He was not stupid and knew that Su Xiaolu had loosened up. It was not negotiable.

He wiped his tears and bowed deeply to Su Xiaolu. “Su Lu, I’m sorry. I used you previously. Actually, I didn’t know the location of the white fish sea. If I had known, my family’s s.h.i.+p wouldn’t even be able to leave the port. I lied to you. I’m sorry.”

An Lie was not stupid. He had already reacted and knew that Su Xiaolu had long seen through his thoughts.

He knew that it was a trap, but he still jumped into it. He must have his ways. He did not know any martial arts, so he was definitely not his match. This young man, Su Lu, was definitely not as harmless as he looked.

However, his heart would soften. If he wanted his help, perhaps he only needed to be sincere.

Su Xiaolu glanced at An Lie.

An Lie looked at Su Xiaolu seriously and said, “The arowana is recorded in ancient books. There are legends of arowana that have been pa.s.sed down by the sea for generations, but no one has ever seen an arowana. However, everyone here knows that arowana have horns on their heads, are dozens of feet long, and have four legs. They have deer’s faces. Eating their flesh and blood can cure all kinds of poisons, eating their hearts can treat mental illnesses. Their flesh and blood are comparable to panaceas.”

“My father met the arowana. When he came home that time, he searched through the ancient books at home like a madman. He excitedly found it and compared it carefully. It was really an arowana. Later, my father and I went out to sea to fish. I saw it too. It was an arowana. I really saw it with my own eyes. Only then did I believe that the legend was true.”

An Lie did not hide anything and told Su Xiaolu everything.

“According to you, you’ve never seen this arowana before?”

Su Xiaolu felt that some answers were about to surface.

An Lie nodded. “Yes, I’ve never seen it in my life. My father has never seen it either. It’s just recorded in ancient books and has been pa.s.sed down by word of mouth for generations. In the past, I didn’t believe it either. If there really is an arowana, why have I never seen anyone catch it? I’ve never seen that arowana either. Many elders have only heard it wrongly and have never seen it before.”

Su Xiaolu looked at An Lie. “What about the white fish?”

The white fish was also a new species that had never appeared before.

“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of the white fish before either.”

An Lie answered truthfully. He indeed didn’t know about the white fish. His family had an accident and was ostracized. His family didn’t even have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the white fish’s harvest this time.

There were also people from his family who wanted to take his family’s s.h.i.+p. It was his father who risked his life to protect it. It was fake to say that they wanted to borrow it. Everyone knew that they were borrowing it and not returning it.
