As Cheng Xiaofan worried about the safety of Zheng Yixin and her two sisters, the turbulent waves beneath the water slowed down, even stopping completely.
He then noticed Zheng Yixin blocking the front, pushing out a palm. A mysterious, white, shimmering wave of power shot out from her palm, effectively neutralizing the incredibly strong undercurrent.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile slightly.
This Zheng Yixin was indeed a woman of exceptional intelligence. She had managed to use the dragon power he had transferred to her to dissipate the underwater waves stirred up by the Dragon Fish.
However, from this, he also deduced that the Dragon Fish did not intend to kill these three beauties.
Before Zheng Yixin had rushed out, the Dragon Fish had already spat out several water currents. Had Zheng Yixin and the others been unable to withstand the attack of the waves, the currents would have quickly pulled the waves back.
It had merely intended to use the power of the waves to test if these three beauties could resist them.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Yixin had stepped forward and neutralized the waves it had unleashed.
The Dragon Fish flicked its tail, and a golden light erupted from its body.
Boom!
A bubble was spat from its mouth, exploding with a sound like muffled thunder.
The lake water surged from the depths into the air, and Zheng Yixin and her two younger sisters were simultaneously thrown into the air.
However, the three of them continuously rotated their bodies in mid-air, evading several surging water columns that were hurled towards them.
Like fiery red swallows, the three of them weaved back and forth amidst the water columns that were crashing back towards the lake's surface.
Just as the water columns struck the lake, the three of them also plunged towards the lakebed.
"Wow, what a spectacular scene!"
Facing the live stream, Xu Man seemed to have gone crazy, shouting, "Everyone, did you see that? The Dragon Fish cultivated by Cheng Xiaofan has stirred up water columns at the bottom of the lake, it's simply too fantastical!"
"These three beauties are truly incredible. Like butterflies flitting through flowers, they dodged the water columns that were aimed at them!"
"I dare say, the water columns stirred up by the Dragon Fish would leave a dent even on a person made of iron, after all, these water columns contain very strong dragon power!"
At this moment, Xu Man's imagination ran wild, speaking whatever came to her mind.
Hearing her words, the live stream's bullet comments quickly flooded the screen.
"I agree with streamer Xu. This Dragon Fish must know magic, otherwise, it wouldn't cause such a commotion!"
"I really can't believe it. Cheng Xiaofan from Zhuxi Village is truly defying the heavens, to be able to cultivate such a formidable Dragon Fish."
"This must be a coincidence. If the Dragon Qi hadn't leaked in Nanshan Lake, it would have been impossible to cultivate such a powerful Dragon Fish!"
"We can only say that Cheng Xiaofan has always been lucky!"
"I want to see who wins this battle between the three beauties and the Dragon Fish!"
"Don't mention 'wins', Cheng Xiaofan said friendship first, competition second!"
"Any man would like such stunning beauties. Cheng Xiaofan must have taken a fancy to these three because they are too beautiful!"
"This guy surnamed Cheng publicly claims to be a village bully. I suspect these three beauties are in a dire situation, possibly falling into the wolf's maw!"
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan did not see this live stream.
Otherwise, he would truly have wanted to die.
Had his consistently upright and righteous persona collapsed so drastically in the eyes of others?
On the lake's surface, large whirlpools churned incessantly.
From beneath the lakebed, sounds like thunder erupted from time to time.
Simultaneously, wisps of smoke would rise from the water's surface.
The martial artists crowded on the shore, watching the spectacle, held their breath, their eyes fixed on the rapidly changing scene on the lake.
In the blink of an eye!
Over an hour passed.
"These three beauties have excellent underwater skills!" Cheng Xiaofan, who had been closely observing the fierce battle beneath the lake, revealed a pleased smile.
Although he could make the Dragon Fish defeat the Zheng Yixin sisters with a single command, being able to battle the Dragon Fish underwater for so long was, in Cheng Xiaofan's opinion, truly remarkable.
The moment he first saw these three beauties, Cheng Xiaofan had received feedback from his mind: they were water element cultivators.
In this cultivation world, there existed a special group of cultivators known as the five-elemental cultivators, divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
As a descendant of Shennong, having such a special group of cultivators by his side would be akin to controlling the yin and yang of the five elements in a region.
Cheng Xiaofan needed such a group around him.
With such a group, once Zhuxi Village was transformed into the world's foremost earthly paradise, it would be stable and long-lasting, forever protected from any intrusion by other forces.
After witnessing the strength of the three beauties led by Zheng Yixin, Cheng Xiaofan had also recognized their potential for development.
"You can stop now!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan, through his spiritual sense, conveyed his command to the Dragon Fish.
Boom!
Upon receiving its master's instruction, the Dragon Fish's power surged underwater. It flicked its tail, spitting out dozens of water currents.
Before the three of Zheng Yixin could even understand what was happening, they were bound by a mass of water currents, unable to move.
At this point, Zheng Yixin suddenly understood.
Their battle with the Dragon Fish from beginning to end had merely been Cheng Xiaofan secretly testing the strength of their Water Fox combination.
The Dragon Fish shot out from the lakebed like a cannonball and soared into the sky.
Simultaneously, the three sisters, bound by the water currents, were also carried out of the water by it.
With a thud, the three sisters were thrown onto the shore, and the water currents around them suddenly vanished.
As the Dragon Fish returned to the lake, the three sisters, led by Zheng Yixin, scrambled to their feet.
"Mr. Cheng, we three sisters have lost to your Dragon Fish!" Zheng Yixin bowed respectfully to Cheng Xiaofan, her face flushed with embarrassment.
There was no other option; their strength was inferior to the Dragon Fish's.
Losing was losing, and there was no shame in it.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter and said, "Zheng Yixin, your Water Fox combination being able to battle my Dragon Fish underwater for over an hour is already incredibly impressive."
"With time, your abilities can completely surpass my Dragon Fish!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Cheng!" Zheng Yixin clearly understood that if Cheng Xiaofan had not bestowed her with a surge of mysterious power, they would have been defeated in the first round against the Dragon Fish.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Zheng Yixin, you are too polite. If you three are willing, I will have Long Xingyun arrange temporary accommodation for you at the Lake Heart Island Hotel."
"You can also enjoy free meals of Ang Ding Dragon Fish every day!"
Although clients were hard to come by at the Lake Heart Island Hotel, special guest rooms had been reserved according to Cheng Xiaofan's instructions for temporary stays for distinguished guests.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yixin's face lit up with joy. "Ah, Mr. Cheng, you're not joking with us, are you? Is there such a good thing?"
