Chapter 42: Chapter 42 - Cleaning up the Trash

Chu Ze laughed. “What are you thinking about? How can I be the mythical beast in the novel? The mythical beasts in the novel are supposed to be the main character’s mount. I want to be the main character.”

“Tsk!” Chu Ying did not hide her disdain for Chu Ze. “Brother, you can’t even get out from the water, and you want to be the main character? The main character should be a tall and handsome boy, not a fish.”

Chu Ying’s words made Chu Ze speechless. “Forget it, I won’t argue with you about this.”

“Little Ying, you have to learn the cultivation method from Manman. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask Manman. If both of you don’t understand, you can ask me next time. Don’t cultivate on your own.”

Li Manman nodded and said, “Don’t worry, we’re very cautious.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. It’s almost dawn. You guys should go back. It’s been a whole night. You should be tired by now.”

Chu Ying shook her head. “No, I’m not tired. I want to stay a little longer. We’ve been very energetic since we evolved. Two or three hours of sleep a day is enough.”

“You still need to pay more attention to rest.” Chu Ze shook his head. “After you become an Evolver, although you feel energetic mentally, you’ve just become an Evolver. Your body is still in the process of transformation, so you need to rest more so that you can speed up the transformation.”

Chu Ying did not understand. “Will sleeping more speed up evolution?”

“Yes, just like how a newborn child needs adequate sleep. A child’s brain needs to continue developing. Your current situation is similar to that of a child. This is considered second growth.”

“You will know after some time. At your age, your height will basically not increase, but after becoming an Evolver, your height will definitely increase by a large margin. Moreover, this growth will be very fast.”

Chu Ze smiled, “I’m reminding you two to pay attention to changing your clothes. The clothes you have now might not be able to be worn in a week.”

Li Manman nodded, “Don’t worry about that. Clothes are a small matter. There’s a clothing store downstairs. It’s very convenient to buy clothes.”

“Oh right, I still don’t know what kind of species you two have awakened. It won’t be like those guys before, frogs or octopuses, right?”

“How is that possible? Manman and I have awakened mythical creatures. You can take a good guess. I’ll give you a hint. They’re both very beautiful.”

Chu Ze thought for a moment. “Mythical creatures that are very beautiful? Eh, that’s too many. How could I possibly guess that?”

“Stop teasing your brother. I’ve awakened a fire phoenix, and Little Ying has awakened an ice phoenix. This is the direction of our evolution in the future.”

After hearing these words, Chu Ze did not say anything. He was very uncomfortable.

Every day, he would devour everything with all his might. He would even devour poison. It had been so long, but he still had nothing to do with the divine dragon.

Meanwhile, Chu Ying and Li Manman had been ice phoenix and fire phoenix from the very beginning. This had dealt a great blow to Chu Ze.

Such a top-tier divine beast, even if it had just completed its first evolution, its true combat strength would probably be comparable to a level 3 Evolver.

As for the heights that the two of them could reach in the future, Chu Ze did not dare to imagine.

“The two of you are too much. One is a fire phoenix and the other is an ice phoenix. How can a fish like me survive?”

As he said this, Chu Ze began to turn his white belly out. Then, he floated on the surface of the lake like a salted fish.

“You two better leave. I don’t want to see you two again. It’s too sad.”

Chu Ying stood on the shore and laughed happily. “Hahaha, seeing my brother like this makes me inexplicably happy. My brother looks like a salted fish now.”

“Okay, stop mocking your brother. Let’s go back first.”

Chu Ying looked at Li Manman. “Wow, you haven’t even become my sister-in-law, and you’re siding with my brother?”

Li Manman blushed. “Hmph, if you want me to be your sister-in-law, then your brother has to evolve into a human. A fish won’t do.”

“Don’t worry, my brother is so powerful. He’ll return to his human form in the future.”

Li Manman whispered in her heart, “Brother Chu, I’ll wait for you to return to your human form. Don’t make me wait too long.”

The three of them had been playing together since they were young, and their relationship was extremely close.

Li Manman’s parents were not at home all year round. When Li Manman went out, she was alone until she met Chu Ying and Chu Ze.

Because there were no parents at home, Li Manman was often bullied by the people nearby when she was young. Chu Ying and Chu Ze, who also had no parents, had been protecting Li Manman.

Therefore, Li Manman had been very dependent on Chu Ze from a young age. When she grew up, she began to develop feelings for Chu Ze as a man and a woman.

Chu Ze had already drifted away with the waves. He felt a great blow.

For the time being, he didn’t want to do anything.

Seeing Chu Ze had drifted far away, Li Manman and Chu Ying also prepared to go back.

However, after getting into the car, Li Manman looked at the steering wheel in her hand and was a little helpless.

“Let’s drive the car to the garage first. We’ll go home after the car is repaired.”

Chu Ying shook her head. “If you drive the car to the garage like this, how are you going to answer if people ask you how you drove without a steering wheel?”

“Even if they don’t ask, if you drive a car without a steering wheel like this, they’ll suspect you.”

Li Manman nodded. “Okay, if that’s the case, let’s just go home. Then, we’ll buy a steering wheel from the internet and change it ourselves.”

After Li Manman and Chu Ying had gone far away, Chu Ze turned around and cried.

“Oh my God, this is so unfair. Sob, sob, sob… I’m hungry, Let me eat some fish first.”

During this period of time, Chu Ze was not at Lake Mweru. The creatures released there had begun to flood.

There were all kinds of creatures that should not be in the freshwater lake, and there was also a lot of garbage.

Chu Ze was a little helpless. He cleaned up the garbage in the water while catching the invasive species.

The fish in the sea were put into Lake Mweru. It wouldn’t be long before they died. Chu Ze saw the corpses of many sea creatures in the water.

Many of them were eaten by other fish until only their bodies were left. Chu Ze didn’t care about them. He only caught other invasive species.

It had to be said that fish like pleco reproduced very quickly, and they were also very harmful to other fish.

Chu Ze would not be polite when he encountered things like a pleco. They would not be able to escape as long as he could see them.

Chu Ze kept throwing different things at the water’s edge that night.

Countless pieces of trash were spat onto the shore by him. Until daybreak, he did not manage to clean up all the trash. He could only wait until nighttime to continue cleaning up.

However, he still wanted to go downstream at night to devour the poison that those people had thrown in. This made Chu Ze somewhat conflicted.

“Forget it. I’ll clean up the trash here when I have time. I’ll go devour the poison first. That side is more important.”
