623: Chapter 619: Ye Xuong VS Andrew 623: Chapter 619: Ye Xuong VS Andrew “Fish dancing?”
Yun Xinyan’s response left Ye Tian feeling somewhat perplexed.
The fish he kept in the aquarium at home were just the most ordinary ornamental fish.
They certainly couldn’t dance, let alone swim in circles!
Could it be that Yun Xinyan’s eyes were playing tricks on her?
With doubtful curiosity, Ye Tian also looked over at the fish tank.
He had no idea, but upon taking a closer look, he indeed got quite a shock!
He saw the fish in the aquarium swimming along a fixed trajectory, pausing and resuming in an unusually neat formation.
Indeed, it almost looked as if they were dancing!
Ye Tian rubbed his eyes and, after confirming he wasn’t seeing things, finally realized the bizarre behavior of the goldfish!
But Ye Tian was someone who had been through plenty of ups and downs, so he wasn’t going to scream in fright at a bit of supernatural phenomena.
The fish in the aquarium had always been well-behaved, never acting up, and apart from two that had died from overeating, the others had never exhibited any strange behavior.
Who could have tampered with the fish tank?
Only one answer came to Ye Tian’s mind!
Last night, he had thrown into the tank the goose egg stone he had acquired from Xue Yunfu’s villa.
Could it be that the peculiar actions of the fish were caused by the goose egg stone he had introduced?
In fact, Ye Tian didn’t really need to guess, for he already had the answer in his heart.
The only thing that could make all the goldfish in the tank exhibit such odd postures was that goose egg stone; nothing else made sense!
But why on earth would the fish “dance”?
Ye Tian was utterly at a loss.
After last night’s research, he was clear about one thing: the effect of the goose egg stone was simply to evoke the deepest desires within a person!
Could it be that these fish also had desires?
Was their desire to dance?
Even if so, Ye Tian still found it strange!
These fish hadn’t come into direct contact with the goose egg stone; the only medium through which they could have been affected by it was the water in the aquarium.
Could it be possible that the impact of the goose egg stone on living organisms could be transmitted through such a medium?
But that didn’t make sense either!
Air was also a medium, so why couldn’t the power of the goose egg stone be dispersed through air?
Ideas cascaded through Ye Tian’s mind, while Yun Xinyan, seeing him in this state, also felt perplexed…
“Ye Tian, what are you thinking about?
Why have you gone silent?”
Yun Xinyan asked curiously, prompting Ye Tian to quickly pat the back of his head.
“Wife, I’m not thinking about anything!
I’m just enjoying watching these little fish dance,” he said.
“Enjoying the dance of the fish?” Yun Xinyan’s face showed an incredulous expression.
“Ye Tian, don’t you find it odd how unusual the fish’s behavior is?”
Yun Xinyan did not like to see animals acting abnormally, as such behavior was often accompanied by various kinds of disasters.
For instance, when groups of snakes crawled out from the fields, it usually indicated an imminent earthquake…
“What’s there to be surprised about?
Wife, don’t you find it endearing to watch the fish dancing?
Maybe they’re dancing to thank us for taking care of them!”
Ye Tian offered a comforting reason to Yun Xinyan.
“Really?”
Yun Xinyan still looked astonished.
Since when could goldfish comprehend human reasoning?
The notion that the fish were showing gratitude to her and Ye Tian seemed far-fetched.
But since the worldly and knowledgeable Ye Tian said so, Yun Xinyan stopped doubting.
It was getting late, and she tidied up before heading off to work at Yun Corporation.
As for Ye Tian, he remained intently observing the dance of the fish in the aquarium…
Though he felt a bit guilty towards Yun Xinyan, Ye Tian didn’t want her to know about the goose egg stone, as it could potentially be dangerous.
However, Ye Tian couldn’t figure out the reason for the fish’s dancing.
All he could do was to idly watch.
After watching the aquarium for a while, Ye Tian noticed that the fish’s swimming patterns had changed again.
They had been swimming counterclockwise, but now they shifted to a clockwise motion.
The rhythm of their “swims” and “stops” had altered, and even the angle of their swimming had changed.
What was going on now?
Ye Tian was still mystified.
The strange behavior of the fish had to be connected to the goose egg stone, yet Ye Tian did not understand how, exactly, the stone was influencing their swimming patterns.
Was this the stone evoking the fish’s desires, or another function of the stone?
—Ye Tian couldn’t figure it out and thus ceased to ponder it.
With his current mood, he naturally didn’t feel like going to work at Yun Corporation, and Yun Xinyan hadn’t demanded that he go.
The only clue he had to investigate regarding Tianmen was the goose egg stone in his hand, yet Ye Tian had no breakthroughs.
Xue Yunfu’s villa had been cordoned off by the police, and there were no further clues left there, so Ye Tian had little interest in going back…
In his boredom, Ye Tian could only head over to the Night King Hall’s stronghold located in the manor.
The moment he stepped into the manor, Ye Tian spotted Ye Xuong sparring with Shark Andrew.
The other Martial Artists, rather than practicing on their own, were now standing still to watch the contest between Ye Xuong and Andrew.
“Boss, you’re here?”
“The boss is here!”
“Welcome back, boss!”
…
As the powerful warriors saw Ye Tian arriving, they all greeted him with respect.
Ye Xuong and Andrew, who were about to start fighting, both paused their action and paid their respects to Ye Tian.
“Don’t mind me!
Make sure to have a good fight!”
Ye Tian certainly didn’t want to be the third wheel between Ye Xuong and Andrew and said so directly.
Because Night King Hall had many strong warriors, they all enjoyed sparring with one another, a custom that had a long history.
In the process of sparring, as soon as victory and defeat were determined, they would stop, which meant no matter how the group of warriors sparred, it would never lead to loss of life!
After Ye Tian returned from South Korea, these strong warriors also sought to spar with him, which goes to show how prevalent the culture of martial combat was in Night King Hall!
Since even Ye Tian, the boss of Night King Hall, was watching the fight, both Ye Xuong and Andrew, the two strong warriors, were also full of energy!
To be fair, Ye Xuong was Russia’s top warrior and Ye Tian’s right-hand man, so in terms of strength, no one in Night King Hall could surpass him except for Ye Tian.
In addition, after Ye Tian had given some guidance on Ye Xuong’s kung fu, Ye Xuong’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds!
Although Andrew’s strength had also improved since joining Night King Hall, overall, it still fell short compared to Ye Xuong…
Every one of the sparring matches between Ye Xuong and the ‘Shark’ Andrew were initiated by Andrew, and Ye Xuong never put on any airs, accepting every time!
Today’s match was their 13th since joining Night King Hall, and in the previous 12 matches, Ye Xuong had emerged victorious every time!
Once they were ready, the Black Widow, acting as the referee, brandished her soft whip, and both Ye Xuong and Andrew unleashed their power!
“Everyone, step back a bit!”
Someone shouted.
The sparring between the strong warriors inside Night King Hall, if they went all out, would affect a wide area.
Moreover, both Ye Xuong and Andrew were strength-type martial artists with explosive Inner Strength.
If they both fought with all their might, a dense wall of wind would form, and those who were closer would suffer more from the impact.
In order to let the two strong warriors spar without worry, everyone also took several steps back, leaving enough space for Ye Xuong and Andrew to compete!
“Heh heh!
Ye Xuong, I’m coming for you!”
Andrew brought his strength to its peak, a confident smile appearing on his face, as he taunted Ye Xuong.
“Come on!”
Ye Xuong did not fear Andrew’s strength either.
He smiled slightly and said quietly.
In terms of strength, Ye Xuong was slightly stronger than Andrew, so during the match, he would let Andrew attack first while he adopted a defensive counter-attack strategy.
Of course, even with a defensive counter-attack, Ye Xuong did not dare to be careless, and he too unleashed all his strength, forming a sturdy armor of Inner Strength around his body.
“Take my move!”
Andrew swung his fist fiercely, and Ye Xuong raised his fist to meet it.
In the use of force, no one could match ‘Shark’ Andrew, and ordinary people simply couldn’t tell whether Andrew was throwing a real punch or a feint.
Therefore, to defend against Andrew’s punches, Ye Xuong could only use fifty percent of his strength, keeping the other fifty percent on reserve for an emergency!
“Boom!”
Their fists collided, making a violent noise.
Streams of Qi Force spread from their fists, and the grass beneath their feet rustled loudly as it was blown about by the force of their punches.
However, this was only the first move of the exchange between Ye Xuong and Andrew.
The collision of fists was not a problem at all for these two strength-type martial artists.
Andrew immediately swung his other fist towards Ye Xuong’s face, and Ye Xuong raised his other hand to meet Andrew’s punch once more!
“Boom!”
The violent sound echoed again, but the sudden collision did not separate them; instead, they remained locked together, each probing the other’s endurance.
Both Ye Xuong and Andrew clenched their teeth tightly.
In the contest of endurance, they appeared evenly matched!
“I didn’t expect Andrew to have improved so much in such a short time; now he can actually go toe-to-toe with Ye Xuong!”
“Yeah, doesn’t this mean that the overall strength of our Night King Hall has increased?”
“I wonder if this time Andrew will be able to draw with Ye Xuong?”
…
The watching martial artists were discussing animatedly.
Ye Xuong and Andrew, tangled together, seemed unlikely to be separated by a clear victory or defeat.
No matter how it looked, it was going to be an endurance battle!
“Heh heh, that remains to be seen!”
Among all the people there, only Ye Tian watched the confrontation between the two with a playful expression.
