Chapter 339: King of the Dragon Fish!


When everyone saw the creature that Ye Feng had caught, they were all momentarily stunned.

It was a fish that closely resembled the common white-striped fish found in freshwater rivers, but upon careful observation, it was not the white-striped fish.

Its entire body was white, as if devoid of any black pigment, pure and clean, with a translucent quality.

Not only that, its body was long and ribbon-like, with a laterally compressed fan-shaped tail; its dorsal and anal fins were band-like; its eyes were on the upper part of its head, close to the top, while its mouth was also positioned high on the head, large and slanting downward, and the lower jaw protruded more than the upper jaw, complete with a pair of short and thick barbels.

Those present were all knowledgeable people. They first stared at the fish in bewilderment and then their expressions showed a hint of surprise:

"A Silver Dragon! This is a Silver Dragon Fish!"

The Silver Dragon Fish is originally from the Amazon River Domain in America and the Nile River Domain in Africa, and in China, as a type of ornamental fish or even feng shui fish, it is quite popular!

However, even so, based on the size of this Silver Dragon Fish, its value was only a few hundred yuan.

"It seems your luck isn't too bad, fella. As an ornamental fish, a Silver Dragon Fish is worth at least a few hundred bucks, almost like a few days' salary for you as a driver!"

Qi Jian curled his lip and cursed Ye Feng's damn good fortune under his breath. Qi Jian had caught several fish earlier, but their combined value didn't match up to that of Ye Feng's single Silver Dragon Fish.

Even then, the Silver Dragon Fish was only an ornamental one, not too precious.

Apart from Qi Jian, the rest of the people had a similar mindset. While the Silver Dragon Fish was more expensive than ordinary freshwater fish, in the eyes of these powerful elite, it was just a common fish.

"Young man, didn't you just say you'd repay my father with a dragon? Surely the 'dragon' you were referring to isn't this Silver Dragon Fish, is it? If we go by your logic, then there must be countless 'dragons' in the flower, bird, insect, and fish markets!"

Jiang Lanlan curled her lips and sneered, before posing the challenging question to Ye Feng with a teasing tone.

Silver Dragon Fish are now successfully cultivated artificially. Although rare in river environments, in insect and fish markets, they are abundant and readily available.

Listening to Qi Jian and Jiang Lanlan's mocking words, both Jiang Ying's and her father's faces turned ashen.

"Auntie! You have been fishing for such a long time, and haven't caught any dragons either, have you? Why demand that Ye Feng catch one? Besides, Ye Feng's Silver Dragon Fish might not be that precious, but it's worth much more than all the fish you have caught during this time. What gives you the right to ridicule him?"

Ever since Jiang Ying had entered, she was boiling with anger inside. If not for the old Mr. Jiang's presence, she would have already walked away with Ye Feng. Naturally, she wouldn't show any courtesy towards her aunt now.

Jiang Ying's words didn't leave any face for Jiang Lanlan, making her complexion extremely ugly. Just as she was about to scold Jiang Ying, she saw the elderly Mr. Jiang stand up with a smile.

"Enough! Stop arguing! Since a dragon has already been caught, this dragon-fishing competition is hereby concluded!"

Mr. Jiang wore a playful smile on his face, but his words caused a change of expression in those surrounding him.

"Father! The 'dragon' you're referring to can't be this Silver Dragon Fish, can it? That's impossible!" Jiang Lanlan said incredulously, immediately raising an objection.

While Jiang Lantao also felt that the old man might be favoring Ye Feng, he had deeper schemes in mind and remained silent, opting to wait and see how things would unfold.

"Grandpa! This isn't fair!" Just then, the cheeky kid couldn't hold back any longer:

"This guy has been fishing for an hour and only caught this one fish. Although the Silver Dragon Fish may be worth a few hundred and be named 'dragon fish,' it's just a fish, not a real dragon!"

At this moment, the members of the Jiang Family were almost unanimously displeased. Although they held great respect for the elder, they looked down upon Ye Feng. That the elder showed such partiality to an outsider naturally fueled their anger.

The elder Jiang watched his younger relatives argue, his expression remaining steady. Especially when Ye Feng stood by idly, watching the commotion with amusement, a sharp glint flashed in the elder's eyes.

"Enough! I know you're not convinced! Let this young man tell you what is different about this dragon fish!"

With an amiable smile, Elder Jiang threw the challenging question to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng paused, then chuckled casually, unhitched the dragon fish from the hook, and placed it in a bucket of clear water.

He didn't say much, simply getting a clump of black mud from the stream's bank and smearing it around the bucket, dimming the light within the entire bucket.

"I know you all aren't convinced! But let me tell you, even if you're not, it's useless!"

With a frustratingly nonchalant tone, Ye Feng's words made everyone's faces grow even more livid, but he didn't care at all and continued,

"You only know this is a dragon fish, but what you don't realize is that there is a variant among the Silver Dragon Fish known as the Snow Dragon Fish! And this one is the most top-grade existence among the Snow Dragon Fish!"

Snow Dragon Fish!

As these words left Ye Feng's mouth, they first stunned the crowd, followed immediately by sheer disbelief and amazement.

The Snow Dragon Fish, a variant of the Silver Dragon Fish, is so rare that out of millions of Silver Dragon Fish, only one Snow Dragon Fish might emerge.

Moreover, the value of the Snow Dragon Fish is tremendously high. Especially in China, where only a few lower-grade Snow Dragon Fish have appeared over a long period, they were quickly snatched up, with each being auctioned for an exorbitant price.

As for middle-grade, high-grade, and even top-grade Snow Dragon Fish, they had never appeared in China because as soon as they were discovered in the Amazon and Nile River Domains, they were crazily procured by foreign tycoons.

Even a King of the Snow Dragon Fish was auctioned for several million US dollars!

"Is this really a Snow Dragon Fish? How is that possible?"

Jiang Lanlan and others couldn't conceal their disbelief. The Snow Dragon Fish was known for being highly valuable, yet also exceedingly rare, especially in China, where it simply shouldn't exist.

Ye Feng seemed to anticipate their doubt and with a slight smile, he pointed to the Snow Dragon Fish in the bucket and explained,

"The eyes of the Snow Dragon Fish are red, and you can't find a hint of any other color on its body—it is completely a shade of albinism! Also, the Snow Dragon Fish is most conspicuous against a black background; its body is semi-transparent and emits a fluoroscopic glow, undoubtedly the King among dragon fish!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the surrounding people crowded forward to observe, discovering that the dragon fish's eyes indeed shone red, and its body indeed appeared semi-transparent against the black mud, swimming with a beauty and elegance that were extraordinary!

Seeing this scene, although the people were still reluctant to believe, they had to admit that this was indeed a Snow Dragon Fish and that it was worth at least a million US dollars.

However, how could a Snow Dragon Fish possibly appear in this small stream?

Sensing the crowd's bewilderment, Ye Feng smiled and then turned to look at Elder Jiang:

"Last night, the elder dreamed of a fierce dragon crossing the river to reside in the backyard stream. If I'm not mistaken, this Snow Dragon Fish must have been released by the elder himself, right?"

However, Ye Feng's next words left everyone stunned, while Elder Jiang's smile grew even richer.
