The Old Woman's voice was extremely soft, like the buzzing of a mosquito.
The two Fishmongers, busy to the point of being overwhelmed, didn't hear a single sound.
However, her subtle words clearly reached Wang Mang's ears!
In an instant, Wang Mang, who had just breathed a slight sigh of relief, felt his heart leap into his throat again!
Damn it!
Invigorate what male vitality?
Where did this Old Woman hear that Loach could invigorate male vitality?!
Besides, you're already so old!
Do you still have those kinds of needs?
Your old man is really unlucky!
Although Wang Mang was furious, he could only nervously stare at the proprietress through the narrow gap, unable to do anything else.
Big Long Ciao, quickly say you don't have Loach!
Big Long Ciao, quickly chase this Old Woman away!
Big Long Ciao, as long as you don't sell me, when I go home, I'll have Dad give you a million!
Wang Mang couldn't speak; he could only pray and vent his frustration silently in his heart.
"Ahem, Aunt Wang, I'm really sorry, but my Loach sold out a few days ago, and the new stock hasn't arrived yet. I'll notify you as soon as it does, how does that sound?"
The proprietress, Big Long Ciao, whispered to the Old Woman.
When these words reached Wang Mang's ears, he immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
The Old Woman glared at the proprietress, Big Long Ciao, and grumbled in a huff, "No Loach? This shoddy shop of yours will go out of business sooner or later!"
The proprietress, Big Long Ciao, could only smile awkwardly, then packed the processed Carp and handed it to the Old Woman.
The Old Woman huffed and was about to leave with the bag.
But after only a few steps, she suddenly stopped in front of the glass water tank.
Her triangular eyes scanned the inside of the tank incessantly.
And the direction she was staring at was exactly where Wang Mang was!
"Damn it! Could I have been discovered?!"
Wang Mang inwardly cursed, realizing something was wrong, and immediately pushed his Loach head, desperately trying to burrow into the Carp school.
However, his luck was truly terrible... The Carp school was too dense, and he couldn't squeeze in no matter how much he tried.
"Oh, isn't there a little Loach here?"
Just then, the Old Woman squatted down, pointing at Wang Mang, who was struggling to burrow into the Carp school.
As she spoke, she shot a harsh glare at the proprietress, Big Long Ciao.
Upon hearing this, the proprietress quickly came over to look and happened to see Wang Mang, who couldn't get into the Carp school no matter how hard he tried.
She smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, I'm really sorry, Aunt Wang, this little Loach probably fell into the Carp school by accident. I'll just give it to you!"
"That's more like it!"
The Old Woman's triangular eyes narrowed instantly, and having gotten a bargain, her mood immediately brightened!
But at this moment, Wang Mang was utterly devastated... Heavens and Earth!
We are all from the Wang family,
Born of the same root, why such urgent strife?!
Am I, Wang Mang, truly destined to become a dish to invigorate an old man?
Why is my life so bitter!
Wang Mang's tears streamed into the water tank.
His system had just awakened, a bright future was before him, was it all going to go to waste like this?
Just then, the proprietress, Big Long Ciao, had already put on her gloves.
Then, she unhesitatingly reached directly into the glass water tank and began to grab wildly.
Wang Mang could only flee in panic, darting east and west to avoid her—
"No wonder it could survive among so many Carp. This little Loach is really hard to catch," the proprietress, Big Long Ciao, muttered to herself.
But she was skilled after all, and in a few moments, she had Wang Mang firmly in her hand.
"Aunt Wang, do you want me to prepare it?"
The proprietress placed Wang Mang on the chopping board, one hand already holding a fish-killing knife.
Wang Mang was so scared he almost peed.
He really didn't want to die!
He silently prayed that the Old Woman wouldn't let the proprietress prepare him.
At least this way, he could live a little longer.
As long as he could live a little longer, he would have a chance to escape!
But... what he feared most came true!
The Old Woman glared at the proprietress.
She said grumpily, "Of course I want it prepared! How else will my old man eat it?"
After speaking, she glanced at Wang Mang, who was placed on the chopping board, "Dig out all the internal organs, chop off the Loach head, and slice the meat!"
Wang Mang, hearing these words, almost fainted from fright.
Damn it!
Is it that brutal?!
Chop off the head, slice the meat, dig out the internal organs!
Just thinking about it hurts!
This Old Woman is really not a good person!
Wang Mang's eyes turned blood red.
Damn it, don't let me survive, otherwise, after I evolve,
I'll sneak into your house and eat your whole family!
"Alright, Aunt Wang!"
The proprietress, Big Long Ciao, smiled sweetly at the Old Woman, then mercilessly raised the knife and brought it down hard on Wang Mang!
Wang Mang struggled desperately, but it was futile.
The proprietress, Big Long Ciao's hand was like an iron clamp, holding him tightly on the chopping board; he couldn't move an inch.
Enraged, Wang Mang's scarlet, chilling eyes fixed on the proprietress, Big Long Ciao's beautiful leg, which was within reach, then he opened his mouth and bit down!
But the next second, he was grabbed by the proprietress, who laughed, "This little fellow, still trying to bite me?"
She would never have imagined that at this moment, the little Loach on the chopping board,
was actually a living person!
In his final moments, Wang Mang closed his eyes in despair.
He thought, perhaps, this was his fate!
If I die, I die!
In the next life, I'll be a good man again!
"Emergency announcement, emergency announcement! We just received news from our superiors that the escaped Giant Blood Python has reached the Wet Market!"
"Superior orders: immediately evacuate the entire Wet Market. The fire brigade and Armed Police squadron are on their way. Please do not panic, evacuate in an orderly fashion immediately!"
Just then, the loudspeaker in the Wet Market suddenly blared!
The voice was tense and urgent!
Something big was happening!
Wang Mang suddenly opened his eyes, his mind a mess.
"Escaped Giant Blood Python? Could it be the one that ate me?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized!
No wonder he had been reborn in the Wet Market's warehouse; it turned out that the Giant Blood Python had brought him here!
"Ah! No way, the Wet Market is more than twenty kilometers from the Zoo. How did that Giant Blood Python get here?!"
"Run! I heard that Giant Blood Python is over ten meters long, as thick as a bucket, and can swallow an adult whole. If it catches you, you'll be eaten just like Wang Mang, that rich second-generation!"
"..."
The Wet Market instantly descended into chaos. Women shrieked in terror, men fled in a panic, and roadside vendors frantically began to pack their goods.
The Old Woman, who was going to take Wang Mang home to invigorate her old man, was so scared that she "plunked" down, collapsing onto the ground.
The proprietress, Big Long Ciao, who was holding the knife, preparing to gut Wang Mang, was also stunned in place by fright.
Wang Mang sighed in relief, that was close, but thankfully, he got his life back!
Just as he was thinking this,
Suddenly!
"Proprietress, what are you standing there for? Quickly prepare that Loach for me so I can leave!"
The Old Woman, sitting on the ground, panting heavily, anxiously shouted at the proprietress, Big Long Ciao.
Damn it, this old hag, even like this, she hasn't forgotten about invigorating her old man!
How desperate must she be!
"Oh, okay!"
"Aunt Wang, please wait, I'll just..."
Before she could finish her sentence,
Suddenly, a burly man came over and pulled the proprietress, Big Long Ciao, away.
"Quickly pack up your things, let's go home! I heard someone already saw the Giant Python appear in the Wet Market, and it's in our seafood section!"
As the proprietress was pulled away, the knife in her hand accidentally dropped.
Then it fell straight towards Wang Mang's head.
