âFish?â Alex was stunned. âAre you talking about the Hell Fish?â
Winniefred waved her small hands excitedly and said, âYes, yes, yes! Hell Fish, itâs called Hell Fish!
Daddy, Hell Fish is very cute! Can I feed it?â
Alex gathered Winnifred in his arms. âCome on, letâs go have a look.â
The fish egg that he had taken from Caesarâs tomb was in the cave at the bottom of the lake. After
returning, Alex had placed the egg in the pond at home. To be honest, he didnât hold out any hope that
it was alive.
These kinds of rare species were generally very particular about the environment they were in, and the
pond in Alexâs house was very ordinary, the type where one would raise goldfish, carps, and the like.
Very soon, they arrived at the pond.
It was then that Alex found there were already several people around the pond. Holly, Waltz, and Maya
were also there.
They were just watching the little guy who had just hatched from its shell.
âSenior, look! The Hell Fish has hatched!â
âItâs so big!â
That was exactly how it was. The Hell Fish had a big and strong appearance, as big as a three-pound
carp, even though it had just been born. Wherever it swam, the other fishes would flee from it. It was
enjoying what it was doing, chasing after the other fishes like a game. However, it also didnât seem like
the Hell Fish intended on eating the other fishes.
At this time, when Alex came closer, the Hell Fish suddenly sprang up.
Splash!
It burst out of the water.
âWow!â
âOh, it jumped out! And so high!â
Several people exclaimed.
The important point was it had jumped out of the water and straight at Alex.
Waltz burst out laughing. âSenior, youâre the one who brought this fish egg back. Maybe itâs treating you
like its daddy? Then, congratulations, youâve given birth to a fish!â
âIâll hand over this important responsibility to you,â Alex said.
Holly chuckled and said, âSister Waltz, you can give birth to a fishball for Brother when the time
comes.â
Waltz reached out to pinch Hollyâs cheeks. âHey now, I wonât be laying eggs!â
Maya also leaned over to jest. âLittle Waltz, if you donât even want to give him some eggs, Mom will
dislike you.â
Waltz just felt embarrassed by that!
At this time, Alex had caught the Hell Fish, and this thing screamed out âWhoa whoa whoaâ, shocking
everyone.
âThis fish is amazing. It can even cry!â Winniefred said in a strange voice.
âIt isnât crying. Itâs just how the Hell Fish sounds like,â Alex explained. Then, he realized that the fish
was trying to aim for the pouch at his waist, and it even used its mouth to bite on it.
âDaddy, what is it doing? Is it hungry?â
Alexâs heart jumped. He pulled out a Spiritual Demon Pill.
Now, the Hell Fishâs reaction became even more intense. Its crying got louder. It sounded like a child
impatient to be fed and wanted to consume the Spiritual Demon Pill.
âSenior, what kind of medicine is that?â Waltz asked.
âA Spiritual Demon Pill refined from a Hell Fishâs demon core. Could it be that it smells its motherâs
breath on it?â
As he said that, Alex threw the pill into the Hell Fishâs mouth.
Then⦠It stopped moving.
âIs it dead?â
âUh⦠Did it die from being full?â
âA fourth-grade pill seems⦠A bit strong, and ordinary fishes wouldnât be able to withstand itâ
âItâs not dead. Look, its fins are still moving.â
The few of them gathered around it, chattering over each other. Finally, they concluded that the Hell
Fish had probably fallen asleep.
