Lu Fei and the other two encircled Da Sha in the middle.
Da Sha hugged the bucket, his skinny body huddled up, looking at the three of them in terror.
Compared to yesterday, he seemed to have lost some weight, and his complexion was even more haggard.
"What are you doing?"
"Get out of my way! Move! I have things to do!"
Big Fool tried to push the three people away, but Husi used a grappling technique, and caught him with a reverse grip.
"Big Fool, wake up!"
"Let me go! Let me go!" Big Fool stared at the setting sun, sweating profusely as he struggled desperately.
But Husi's grip was like an unforgiving steel clamp, holding him tight and not letting go.
"What do you want? Let me go!"
Big Fool stared at the three anxiously, his eyes practically shooting flames.
"Big Fool, we're here to save you!" Jing Jian shouted, "Your Narcissus sister is an evil creature, she wants to take your life! Don't go to the river, it's full of filth!"
"Nonsense!"
Big Fool cried out in a shrill voice, glaring at Jing Jian with anger.
"Sister Narcissus is the best! She's the kindest person to me in the world, and she would never harm me!"
"What are your intentions for saying bad things about her?"
"I get it! You did this on purpose!"
Big Fool seemed to have discovered something, and his tone suddenly rose sharply.
"Don't think I'm easy to fool!"
"When you came to my house yesterday, were you trying to peek at Sister Narcissus?"
"You want to take Sister Narcissus away? Not a chance!"
"Sister Narcissus has always said that all men have bad intentions toward her! She only likes me!"
There was a moment of silence.
Jing Jian said, "Aren't you a man too?"
Da Sha was taken aback and vehemently defended himself, "I'm different! I genuinely like Sister Shuixian, unlike you guys who only want to treat her as a plaything!"
Plaything?
Lu Fei felt that this term was quite subtle.
Da Sha couldn't have come up with such a term on his own; it must have been mentioned by the Snail Maiden when she was bewitching him.
"He's really been thoroughly bewitched! Boss, should we still waste our time talking to him? Why don't we just get straight to it?" Hu Zi shook his head, losing patience.
"Let's try first."
Lu Fei channeled his magic power to his hand and slapped Da Sha's forehead.
Da Sha's body suddenly trembled, stopped after a few seconds, and then his eyes reopened, appearing dazed and confused.
After a moment, it seemed as if he had thought of something and he lifted the bucket.
"Sister Narcissus is hungry, I have to catch fish quickly!"
With that, he hurriedly tried to rush into the river.
Huzi stopped him in time.
"Boss, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Lu Fei tried again, but Dasha still insisted on going to catch fish.
This was a bit weird!
Usually, when someone is confused by an evil spirit, a tap on their forehead with spiritual power would wake them up.
Could it be that Dasha wasn't bewitched and, as he said, he truly liked the girl from the snail shell?
But could a person really fall in love with an evil creature?
The three of you looked at me, and I looked at you; none of them had any experience with romance, and for a moment, they were all a bit baffled.
Or, could it be that the fairy in the snail used another method to enchant Big Fool?
"Let me go! The sun is about to set, and if we don't catch the fish now, it will be too late..."
Seeing Big Fool's anxious look, Lu Fei had an idea and gestured to Hu Zi.
"Let him go catch it."
"Huh? You're not going to stop him?
Hu Zi didn't understand.
"Let him see what he catches by himself."
"Good idea!"
Hu Zi's eyes lit up, and he released his grip.
Big Fool immediately grabbed the bucket and stumbled into the river.
He bit his finger again, attracting the fish-like shadow bones. After finally catching one, he joyfully placed it in the bucket and continued to catch more.
"I need nine today; only with nine can Water Fairy Sister be full. I can't let Water Fairy Sister go hungry anymore!"
The sun set.
Big Fool had only caught three "fish".
He carried the bucket with a heavy heart and returned to the shore.
"Only three, Fairy Narcissus will be hungry again... I'm so useless!"
He raised his head and glared at Lu Fei and the other two with hatred.
"It's all your fault!"
"What grudge does Fairy Narcissus have with you? Why are you hurting her..."
Hu Zi, in a fit of rage, kicked the bucket over.
"Damn it, who's harming who! Take a good look, is that what you call catching fish?"
"What are you doing?"
Da Sha was furious, but had no time to argue with Hu Zi, and hurriedly went to pick up the fish, only to abruptly stop his hand.
On the water-soaked ground, there were only a few pale, dead human bones.
"The fish! Where are my fish?"
His pupils quivered as he picked up the bucket, frantically searching around in panic.
"Wake up! The water lily sister you mentioned has been eating these dead human bones! Can she be a normal person? She's a monster!" Jing Jian advised.
"A monster?"
Da Sha suddenly turned deathly pale and plopped down into the puddle.
"Narcissus is so nice, how could she possibly be a monster..."
Lu Fei looked at him and retorted, "You spend every day with her. Don't you know best what she looks like?"
"She looks..."
Big Fool opened his mouth, his expression turning complicated. He was stunned for a while before suddenly clenching his fists.
"Even if she is a monster, so what? She's good to me, so I'll be good to her!"
Hu Zi was shocked: "What kind of bewitching potion did that monster give you? You still accept it like this!"
"I'm willing. What's it got to do with you guys?" Big Fool shouted.
"If Master Mo hadn't spoken up, who would care about your damn business!" Hu Zi rolled his eyes.
Thinking of that ethereal, clear, and pleasant voice, he couldn't help but become even more curious. Could it be that the Snail Girl is as beautiful as a fairy?
Just having her around to look at could make one's heart and soul captivated?
Lu Fei suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Hu Zi, check if he has any injuries on him."
Hu Zi lifted up Da Sha's clothes, pulled up his trouser legs, almost stripping him down to his underwear.
However.
Da Sha was clean; apart from being a bit skinny, there were no marks of injury on him at all.
Everyone was a bit taken aback.
If he didn't eat his own flesh, what did he eat?
Could it be that they really misunderstood, and what Da Sha ate was the stored meat at home?
"In this world, only Sis Narcissus is kind to me! No matter if she's a ghost or a monster, I like her! I will always be good to her!"
Da Sha pushed Hu Zi away with force, put on his clothes, got up from the ground, and despite his fear, picked up the three pieces of human bones, carefully placing them in the bucket.
"My matters do not need Uncle Mo's interference, nor yours! If you follow me again, I will fight you with all my might!"
A fierce light flashed in his eyes. After saying that, he got on the car and left resolutely.
"What a big fool, doesn't even know what's good for him!" Hu Zi was very unhappy.
Jing Jian, however, seemed to be in deep thought: "If that Snail Girl didn't do anything harmful and they were both willing, we might have been meddling too much."
Lu Fei nodded in agreement.
"No wonder he's the man who had dealings with the beautiful snake; his insights are truly different!"
