Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 54 Chapter 36 The Strongest Smuggler in Human History_2

Tang Xiaojiu showed a frightened expression, feeling that life as a fox suddenly became dangerously wicked.

"Tang Xian, will eating fish cause an upset stomach?"

"That won't happen. The ancient fishermen by the sea could eat fish all their lives. Fish is nutritious, rich in protein, replenishes collagen, and makes the skin better. With various cooking methods, one won't get tired of the taste."

"Then let's eat fish." With a new pursuit in mind, Tang Xiaojiu felt revitalized.

Tang Xian laughed and then returned to the forest sea with Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Gazi, who had officially joined them.

At dusk in the forest sea, looking westward, one could see the sunset reduced to a mere sliver, while the night sky on the other side already cradled a crescent moon.

With both the sun and moon sharing the sky, Tang Xian sat inside the cabin, leisurely watching the distance.

Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Gazi went to catch fish for him.

While enjoying his free time, he began thinking about renovating the forest sea.

There should be a vegetable garden.

And a small fish pond, specifically to raise tender-fleshed fish like Dragon Spine Fish.

The cabin in the Hundred-Handed Wood could actually be expanded and reinforced, mainly to withstand weather like heavy rain.

Bring along some books, and life could be considered perfect.

However, for now, it would be necessary to return to the Pyramid later in the evening.

Tang Xian's nose twitched, knowing Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Gazi were on their way back with the fish.

Cooking was a joyous affair, one he wouldn't decline.

Tang Xian looked at the portable transport rift in his hand, stroking his chin in thought.

"As soon as I leave the mining area, Tang Xiaojiu will have to stay here by herself for ten hours. If something happens at the Pyramid, there might be delays."

That was somewhat troublesome.

Although this little girl now possessed strength approaching that of a natural disaster-level being, she was just too kind and naive.

After spending more time with a simple child like Tang Xiaojiu, Tang Xian increasingly understood why, in his childhood, his parents insisted on supervising everything he did.

Even though he was far more sensible than other children his age.

Tang Xiaojiu came back excitedly.

"Tang Xian, Gazi and I caught so many fish. The little pocket can't even hold them all."

"Looks like we'll need to make a fish basket," he said.

Seeing Tang Xiaojiu's happy face, Tang Xian felt cheerful as well.

He then made a decision.

"After we eat the fish, I will leave this place. Tang Gazi, you stay here, responsible for keeping watch. Until Xiaojiu and I come back, stay close to the cabin and don't wander off."

After speaking, Tang Xian took out a Jiuye Biphasic Orchid from his tool bag and placed it by the side of the cabin.

Tang Gazi, not understanding Tang Xian's intention, said, "Take me with you, take me with you."

"The place I'm going to has lots of humans, and their favorite thing to eat is talking birds."

"Don't take me, don't take me," he said.

Tang Xian nodded and began to prepare the fish meal.

There was enough fish, so he shaved off a lot of the flesh and used the fish heads to make a special pot of fish head soup.

The delicious fish head soup, with its flavor carrying far, especially on such a night, could attract many creatures.

But ultimately, Tang Xiaojiu carried the essence of a nine-tailed fox, which in a place like the forest sea, was enough to deter all beings.

With himself also present, naturally there were no worries about Tang Xiaojiu being tricked away.

After drinking an entire pot of fish soup, Tang Xiaojiu blissfully patted her little belly, let out a satisfied belch, and said:

"Tang Xian, where will we go next? Are we going somewhere delicious?"

"We're going to make some preparations," he replied.

"Preparing for what?"

"To ensure you have delicious food every day."

"Delicious food every day? Then let's go now!" Tang Xiaojiu perked up.

Tang Xian smiled, opened the portable transport rift, and recorded the current coordinates.

The portable transport rift, with each transport of a person, would consume one unit of ore energy, and Tang Xian's cheaper model only had four units of power at most.

It only supported one round trip for him and Tang Xiaojiu.

Looking at the door-like object that suddenly appeared, Tang Xiaojiu felt a bit scared, but holding Tang Xian's hand made her feel much more secure.

...

...

Tang Xian had always been a law-abiding citizen.

So, when he committed a crime for the first time, he felt a bit nervous.

Bringing a creature from the mining area into the human world, he wasn't the first to do so.

Humans also hunted some of the ancient, common creatures in the mining area. But they must come from authorized green zones, after passing through numerous complex tests such as epidemic inspection, danger rating, and bloodthirstiness rating.

Because most advanced equipment malfunctions in the mining area, blood tests must be conducted first. Then, the blood is protected in an armored ore container with high defense levels and transported to the Pyramid. After about a week, the blood test results would come back, and then the biology department of the Hua Science Academy would provide an assessment report on the creature's behavior.

The process was very troublesome.

But it was for the safety of all mankind, and Tang Xian could understand that.

To neglect this process was to commit the serious crime of smuggling.

Tang Xian didn't care about these rules; this was truly his first time breaking the law.

Tang Xiaojiu was too special, and to him, she had to remain unknown to humanity.

But leaving Tang Xiaojiu in the forest sea, he still felt uneasy.

There were actually many smugglers, whether smuggling living beings or non-living things.

Tang Xian's smuggling was different; he would be the first in history to smuggle a calamity-level creature. Unprecedented, and most likely, there would be no one else to follow this path in the future.
