Chapter 1

Zhou Yang looked at the towering man in front of him. The man was about ten feet tall, with a face full of stubble and towering muscles that looked as if they were cast in iron, exuding a sense of immense strength.

"May I ask what you need?" Zhou Yang inquired. In front of this man, Zhou Yang felt a deep sense of distance.

"Before that, can you listen to a story?" the fish demon said casually, his two fist-sized white eyes brimming with tears, his tone filled with nostalgia.

Zhou Yang nodded gently.

"It was a beautiful evening, and I was happily swimming in a crescent-shaped pond, from east to west, and then from west to south. Occasionally, I would surface to blow a bubble."

Zhou Yang listened in silence, though the idea of a beautiful evening seemed odd. However, he did not interrupt the fish demon's story.

"Suddenly, a soft purple paw, faster than the eye could see, scooped me out of the water and onto the shore. Perhaps he was too hasty, and in the process, his purple paw accidentally scratched my scales."

"I lay quietly under his paw, motionless, my little heart pounding."

"I looked up and saw a purple cat demon."

"His eyes, like stars, were a deep purple, staring at me with fiery intensity."

"He slowly lowered his head, opened his mouth, and was about to kiss me. My little heart twitched. Should I struggle?"

"But at that moment, an eagle demon flew down from the sky and landed on a nearby tree, interrupting our passionate moment."

"Perhaps the eagle demon had noticed our passion, and the cat demon's body tensed. However, his paw still held me tightly, protecting me from any harm."

"Time seemed to stand still at that moment. I looked at the cat demon, who was guarding me, while the eagle demon's sharp eyes watched us both."

"Time passed slowly, and I, away from the water, gradually felt weak. At that moment, a sweet liquid fell into my mouth, full of sweetness and fragrance. While the cat demon and the eagle demon were facing off, he still looked at me with fiery eyes and used his saliva to nourish me."

"I felt full of energy. When I was thirsty, I drank water, and when I was hungry, I ate mud. We stood off for three days and three nights."

"Finally, the cat demon couldn't hold back. I never thought he would be so passionate, wanting to kiss me in broad daylight. His teeth were showing, and there was a faint smell of blood, but I didn't mind. I wanted to turn and kiss him, but his soft paw pressed me down hard. Was he afraid I wouldn't accept him? How could that be? I had always been ready."

"I could feel the heat of his breath. I was so intoxicated that I felt weak all over. I was about to lose myself."

"Unfortunately, at that moment, a little brat suddenly appeared, scaring away the cat demon and the eagle demon, and throwing me into a deep pond. I almost drowned, hmpf... Luckily, he forgot that I could swim."

"From that day on, I drank the pond water when I was thirsty and ate sand when I was hungry. After a hundred years, I transformed into a human form and went to hunt down the little brat. It was all because of him that the cat demon and I were separated."

"But I found that the little brat was too powerful. Everyone called him 'the powerful little brat,' and he had conquered a territory, calling it 'the little brat's heaven.' I didn't dare to act rashly."

"I decided to find the cat demon first, but unfortunately, he had already evolved into a purple-souled cat demon with eighteen lives, calling himself 'Eighteen Cats,' and was a formidable figure."

"The gap between us was too great. I decided to evolve into a 'fish that cannot cry' before seeing him again. However, this process took too long. A snake told me that in the Tower of Ten Thousand Worlds, I could exchange my fish eggs for a supreme secret manual to quickly become a 'fish that cannot cry.' I gave him a fish egg as payment, but I didn't know where to go. I asked a horse, who told me the way, and I gave him another fish egg as payment."

"Can I use fish eggs as payment here?" the fish demon asked hopefully.

Zhou Yang looked at him strangely. "Do you still have fish eggs?"

The fish demon was startled and felt his crotch, finding it empty. He quickly calmed down. "Since I don't have any, I'll leave after this chapter is over!"
