Chapter 964 The Carp God Makes His Move, Reflection Displaced

Carp Goddess looked around curiously. Having lived in the lake since childhood, she had never had the chance to see such a vast sea of ​​grass.

For her, this was a completely new environment, which also sparked the little one's purest desire to explore.

"Fellow Daoist Carp God, this place is a grassland in Misty Continent. What do you think?" Ye Kang cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Carp God also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, just like Ye Kang: "Fellow Daoist Ye Kang, Carp God says this place is very beautiful, and Carp God wants to go out and play."

"Of course, no problem, but the Carp God needs to do me a small favor."

"The Carp God agrees."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I am now looking for a large cauldron, but I have no clues. I can only ask the Carp God for help."

"The Carp God said that even the Carp God doesn't know."

"It's alright, it's enough that the carp god keeps this in mind, there's no need to force it."

Ye Kang knew, of course, that the Carp Goddess knew nothing, but that did not hinder her extraordinary luck.

The so-called "born lucky" is a magical existence that can find gold just by walking around. As long as she has this concept, Ye Kang believes that she will reap the rewards sooner or later.

This is his biggest trump card, which he usually doesn't use.

Then, Ye Kang took the little hand of the carp god and walked out of the tent.

The vast expanse of the grassland was breathtaking, and the Carp God couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his heart filled with ripples of emotion.

Just then, Ye Meijue walked over.

She originally wanted to ask Ye Kang what his plans were next, and she was already prepared to persuade him to go find Emperor Huai, but the sudden appearance of the Carp God startled Ye Meijue.

"Oh my god! Where did this little girl come from! She's so cute!"

Ye Meijue covered her mouth, her eyes filled with tenderness, instantly captivated by the adorable carp god.

Ye Kang smiled and said, "She is a fellow Daoist of mine who has been living in my grotto-heaven treasure. I just wanted to show her around."

"I see. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Carp God."

Ye Meijue smiled and cupped her hands to the Carp God, as if she were coaxing a child.

A demon? It must be Ye Kang's spirit pet.

Ye Meijue thought to herself.

The Carp God returned the greeting politely, but didn't give Ye Meijue a second glance. Instead, he pulled Ye Kang and said, "The Carp God said he wants to go over there to take a look."

"there?"

Ye Kang looked in the direction the carp god was pointing. There was a small hill with extremely lush aquatic plants, and many ponds covered by the plants, their bottoms unseen.

If an ordinary person were here, they would probably have to be extremely careful with every step they took, or they would accidentally sink into the pond and be completely swallowed up.

But for martial artists, this is not a problem.

Ye Kang and his two companions casually walked onto the small hill.

The wind rustled the grass low, and golden sunlight shone on the dark pond, refracting into sparkling spots. The carp spirit, being a water sprite, couldn't resist and bent down to gently stir the water with its right hand.

At this moment, a clear reflection appeared on the pond, showing the little face of the carp god.

Upon seeing this, Ye Meijue couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

"What a lovely child! Why didn't you bring her out sooner? I could have prepared a gift for her."

Ye Kang said helplessly, "How could I accept your gift?"

"What kind of talk is that? Aren't we acquaintances?"

Ye Meijue spoke with some dissatisfaction, hands on her hips and pouting.

Ye Kang smiled and said, "Of course they are familiar friends, but the Carp Goddess cannot travel too much in the human world, as her bloodline is rather special."

Ye Meijue pondered for a moment, then looked at the Carp God.

Indeed, she couldn't even see the true form of the Carp God, so it must be of an extremely rare demon bloodline.

Such a bloodline could potentially attract the attention of powerful individuals, and it must be said that Ye Kang's reasoning convinced her.

Just as the two were talking, the Carp God suddenly tightened his grip on Ye Kang's left hand.

Ye Kang keenly sensed something was wrong and whispered, "What's wrong?"

The carp god didn't even look up, and said, "The carp god says he saw a ghost."

"what?"

Ye Kang was completely bewildered. What the hell was he seeing in broad daylight?

Suddenly, the Carp God pointed to the pond below and said, "The Carp God thinks that the Carp God's shadow is slower than the Carp God."

"Ok?"

The Carp Goddess wouldn't lie to him, and besides, her cultivation level was quite high, so she wouldn't be mistaken.

But Ye Kang still didn't understand what she meant.

"Could the Carp God explain in more detail?"

"The Carp God said Ye Kang is an idiot."

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Meijue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Kang's face darkened, and he said, "You can't just say things like that."

But of course he wouldn't blame the carp god; instead, he squatted down and looked at the carp god's reflection in the pond.

The carp god moved his right hand, and his reflection moved accordingly, seemingly without any problem.

Ye Kang frowned, and Ye Meijue stared intently at the water. The carp god moved again, and its reflection moved along with it.

But this time, Ye Kang and Ye Meijue both noticed something was wrong.

"slow!"

They both spoke at the same time.

That's right, the reflection's movement was indeed slower just now, but only for a split second. When the carp god's hair swayed, the reflection was a moment too late.

Even Ye Kang didn't notice this subtle difference at first, and it could be said that he never even considered it.

After all, who would be so bored as to stare intently at the movements of a shadow?

But now, this change is real.

Ye Kang and Ye Meijue exchanged a glance, both showing surprise and doubt in their eyes.

That doesn't make sense. How could the reflection be a beat behind?

The two immediately ran to another pond nearby and looked again.

Sure enough, we were a step too late.

"How can this be!"

Ye Meijue's eyes widened. Could it be that she had really seen a ghost?

Ye Kang was indeed more cautious. He directly used his divine sense to penetrate into the Jade Realm and conducted an experiment by a lake within it.

Within the Jade Realm, however, there was no delay; the reflection and the original body moved in perfect synchronization.

Now Ye Kang was certain that there was something wrong with this grassland!

He then circled the surrounding ponds again and confirmed that they were all problematic.

He looked at the Carp God and asked, "Does the Carp God know why this is?"

The Carp God shook his head: "The Carp God doesn't understand."

"It's okay, I don't understand either..."

Ye Kang spoke in a low voice, then directly used the Jianghai Lightness Technique to enter the pond and descend.

Wu Wang Qing Tong exerted all his strength, and his primordial spirit frantically probed out his divine sense, trying to find the source of the problem.

But nothing was found. Below the pond was just ordinary silt, which connected to an underground river in the grassland, forming a rich water system. Apart from that, there was nothing special.

"How could this be..."

Ye Kang returned from underwater, feeling as if he had discovered a key.

But what exactly it is remains a mystery.

At that moment, the system's voice also sounded.
