Squirrel was dumbfounded when he heard that. He looked up at Fangzheng and asked, "Master, do fish not have eyelids?"
Fangzheng smiled bitterly as he stroked Squirrel's head. "Fish naturally do not have eyelids."
"Uh, then where did they go?" Squirrel continued asking.
Fangzheng was left exasperated. Once this curious one started with his questions, there was no end to them. Therefore he bullsh*tted. "Probably ate them himself."
Squirrel grinned and then looked at Salted Fish apprehensively. "You sure are fierce!"
Salted Fish rolled his eyes at Fangzheng. "You're even better at spouting nonsense than me. Are you a monk or not?"
"Are you a carp or not?" Fangzheng asked as well.
Salted Fish looked up and said pridefully, "Obviously! I'm a carp from the Heavenly Dragon Pond at the foot of Mount Numinous! Back then, I nearly made the jump through the dragon gate, and I almost turned into a divine dragon!"
