Li Chen walked and watched, and just then, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
He saw a super beauty.
A pair of long and straight beautiful legs, and crystal-clear toes quietly curled on the sandals, her calves were free of any fat and looked full of elasticity.
Even more deadly, the girl was wearing hot pants, Li Chen's gaze wandered over her thighs, it seemed that by moving up a bit, one could see what color of underwear she was wearing.
Her upper body was dressed in a crop top, even while sitting, her white and flat belly was exposed, her lotus arms were holding the fishing rod, and her ample bust was round and pressed tight, as if ready to pop out at any moment.
"She could compete with a beautiful wife," Li Chen admired internally.
The beauty had dyed her hair, pale red, and the exposed side of her face didn't seem as mature as it appeared, her light lashes trembling, her pale red lips crystal-clear, and her eyes were fixed intently on her own fishing rod.
Now that he had seen the beauty, Li Chen walked over, intending to admire her for a while.
The girl hadn't noticed Li Chen approaching and was still fishing, though her method of fishing was a bit peculiar, shaking the fishing rod non-stop and occasionally lifting it to check if any fish had been hooked.
Li Chen chuckled to himself, such fishing wasn't impossible, just extremely difficult, especially for a novice, it was hard to catch fish.
At this moment, an old man fishing nearby suddenly spoke up, "Girl, how can you catch fish like this?"
Before he'd finished speaking, the others who were watching also couldn't help but speak up, "Exactly, that's not how you fish, you won't catch fish that way."
"This lady isn't fishing, she's teasing the fish," the others joked.
"All that shaking, you'll scare all the fish away, what are you fishing for then."
Wang Qianqian felt wronged hearing these words, wasn't she just here to fish, why were so many people criticizing her?
The old man who had spoken now felt bolstered by the support of so many others, "I don't know where this young girl came from, not practicing any fishing techniques, how can you catch fish like this?"
Wang Qianqian felt even more aggrieved. What had she done wrong, she was just fishing.
Li Chen also frowned, thinking the old man was a bit too much.
"Ah, Old Li, let it go, it's normal for a young girl to lack experience," another old man advised.
"Old Zhong, the problem is she's sitting next to me, and she's scared my fish away. How can I fish?" Old Li complained with a grimace, "I haven't caught a single fish for so long, it's all because of this girl."
"Look, how long has it been since I caught a single fish, Old Zhong, you've caught seven or eight, and I haven't caught one. Who else but this girl is to blame?"
Old Li went on, "If you don't know how to fish, why come here and spoil it for others?"
Tears swirled in Wang Qianqian's eyes as she said, "I'm sorry, I'll move to another spot."
"With your skills, better forget it," Old Li shook his head, "No matter where you fish, it won't work. With your way of fishing, you won't catch a fish in a hundred years."
Wang Qianqian was close to crying, "Then I won't fish."
Old Li nodded, "That's better, don't scare my fish away."
Just as Wang Qianqian was about to get up, a large hand pressed on hers.
"Who says you can't catch fish this way?" Li Chen's calm voice came through.
Wang Qianqian looked up and saw Li Chen's confident face, stunned for a moment.
"Young man, don't talk nonsense," Old Li, seeing Li Chen stand up for her, immediately looked displeased, "She's been spoiling it for us here. Old Wang, wouldn't you agree?"
Sitting to the right of Wang Qianqian was indeed Old Wang, who nodded his head reluctantly and turned to say, "Miss, perhaps you should try fishing somewhere else?"
"The fish belongs to everyone, so does the park. If you can't catch fish, why not blame the fish for not biting your hook instead of blaming an unrelated girl?" Li Chen spoke calmly.
"Where did this brash kid come from, giving unsolicited advice here," Old Li immediately became annoyed, "I've been fishing for over twenty years, don't I know by now?"
Wang Qianqian was a bit scared, but felt the hand holding hers tighten, and looking up, she met Li Chen's comforting and encouraging gaze, her face inexplicably turning red.
Li Chen no longer spoke; against such a stubborn person, the best response was to let the results speak for themselves.
Grasping Wang Qianqian's hand, Li Chen also started to gently sway over the surface of the water, following the method she used before, with the fishing rod shaking along with his movements.
Seeing Li Chen ignore his advice, Old Li became greatly annoyed, "I'm not fishing anymore today. If your method can catch a fish, then I'll be a ghost."
Old Wang by his side also frowned and said, "Young man, quit while you're ahead, don't make a mess here."
In the back, the onlookers had crowded around, all watching Li Chen's performance, ready to see him make a fool of himself.
"Tsk tsk, this young man must have lost his mind because of the beauty, who fishes like that?"
"Exactly, the fish won't bite, how can he catch any fish?"
"Those few by the side are regulars at Central Park, their fishing skills are top-notch. I really don't know where this young man gets his confidence."
Wang Qianqian was somewhat uneasy, but seeing Li Chen's calm demeanor somehow settled her nerves.
"If you don't catch any fish today, don't ever show your face in Central Park again," Old Li said with glaring eyes, "and you, girl, don't ever sit next to me."
"What if I do catch one?" Li Chen's tone was consistent, calm and collected, yet inside, the True Qi had already traveled down the fishing rod into the water, spreading with the ripples towards the bottom of the water in all directions.
"You could catch one? Do you think you're Jiang Ziya, and the fish just willingly bite?" Old Li mocked. This comment provoked laughter from the others.
"Really? Then watch closely," Li Chen replied indifferently. At the same time, he suddenly pulled back on Wang Qianqian's hand, and with her scream, a big fish struggling against the hook leaped out of the water.
Old Li was about to speak when he suddenly saw the big fish, and as if he had swallowed a fly, his complexion turned exceedingly ugly.
"Really caught one?"
"My God, how could you catch a fish like that?"
"This young man is so talented!"
The onlookers were flabbergasted, having never seen anyone catch fish like this before.
Wang Qianqian too felt her heart pounding wildly, her face filled with joy.
Li Chen calmly cast the hook back into the water, and within just a few seconds, he pulled again, another large fish flying towards the people behind him.
"This, this has got to be cheating, right?"
"A master, an absolute master."
"Another so soon?"
Old Li and Old Wang had been stunned, but what happened next left them utterly dumbfounded.
With each cast Li Chen placed in the water, it took only a few seconds before a large fish bit, as if possessed, focusing solely on Li Chen's bait.
The exclamations of the crowd were incessant, cheering loudly each time Li Chen caught a fish.
"Crazy, crazy, these fish have gone crazy..." Old Li was stunned, muttering to himself.
Li Chen smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, lifted the fishing rod, but this time, nothing hung on the hook.
"Why is there no fish?" the onlookers couldn't help asking.
Old Li also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling with each fish caught his face grew more mortified, and just as he thought it was over, the crowd behind him suddenly gasped in shock!
A large fish broke through the surface of the water, and in the stunned gaze of the onlookers, it bit directly onto the dangling hook!
This, this, this... the people behind were at a loss for words.
Old Li was also completely dumbstruck; the fish were jumping out of the water to bite the hook, could this be Jiang Ziya reincarnated?
Li Chen gave Wang Qianqian a slight smile, then released her hand and walked away.
"My God, the fish jumped up to bite the hook on its own, am I seeing things?"
"I've lived so long, yet this is the first time I've seen fishing like this, have I gone to the dogs?"
