Chapter 530: As the Saying Goes, Wealth and Honor Are Sought Amidst Danger...

That evening, when Ning Fei returned from fishing, the sky had already grown somewhat dark.

Dark clouds gathered over the sea, signaling that tomorrow's weather would be poor.

Ning Fei hadn't encountered a single billfish all day, let alone a top-tier catch like a bluefin tuna.

"I'll keep looking for bluefin tuna tomorrow."

"I chatted with some fishermen today. A few days ago, someone did spot a bluefin tuna over three meters long, but it swam off too fast to be caught."

"Tomorrow will be raining. It's the perfect time."

Ning Fei told the viewers in his live stream.

"Going fishing in the rain?"

"Usually, if there's a storm at sea, fishermen wouldn't dare head out. A single massive wave could completely capsize a boat!"

"Temple Master Ning is truly bold!"

"The Qingfeng Cruise Ship is top quality. It shouldn't be afraid of a storm, right?"

"Brother, you've never seen a real storm. It doesn't matter how much tonnage you have; the waves will flip it all the same!"

The next day, as expected, the weather was gloomy right from the morning.

A heavy mist hung in the air.

Sea fog blanketed the ocean's surface, making it look as if they had sailed into the mythical Penglai Islands.

The scene was beautiful, but the most beautiful places were often the most dangerous.

Ning Fei set out early that morning aboard the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

The Qingfeng Cruise Ship possessed a strong resistance to massive waves. Unless it encountered something like a large waterspout, an ordinary storm posed little threat to the vessel.

Besides, the rain near the coast generally wouldn't be too heavy.

Because of the rain, Ning Fei had Little Falcon return to the cabin to rest. He also settled the other little ones into their beds.

Since they frequently sailed on the ocean, the little ones' beds were all firmly secured, so there was no need to worry about the ship rocking.

Later in the morning, Ning Fei turned on the live stream and stepped out onto the ship's bow.

By this time, the rain had grown heavier.

Drops of rain fell from the sky, splattering against the deck.

Ocean waves swelled one after another, continually crashing against the cruise ship's hull.

"Temple Master Ning really went live!"

"That's some heavy rain!"

"As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought amidst danger, but this is pushing it way too far!"

"Speaking as a fisherman, this scene actually scares me a bit."

Ning Fei stood at the bow. Rain soaked his clothes, and water dripped down his hair, somehow making him look even more untethered.

In his hands, he held a bow—the Sappanwood Bow.

A quiver rested on his back, filled with several high-quality wooden arrows.

Looking closely, one could see a small buoy attached to the back of each arrow. This ensured that even if the wooden arrow was shot into the sea, it would float back to the surface.

The Qingfeng Cruise Ship sped forward.

Ning Fei's gaze remained fixed on the sea.

He was very patient.

All good hunters had to be patient.

"The probability of bluefin tuna appearing is a bit higher on rainy days, but it's still very low."

"I can only try my luck."

Ning Fei said unhurriedly.

The Qingfeng Cruise Ship pressed onward through this patch of sea. Ning Fei stood upon it motionless; only his eyes shifted as they scanned the water.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Time slowly ticked by.

The rain gradually grew heavier.

The weather at sea was unpredictable. A storm might last just ten or so minutes, or it might grow increasingly fierce.

Ning Fei, however, did not change his mind.

The viewers were getting a little anxious.

From the time he set sail until now, they had only seen a rather frightening storm at sea. There wasn't a single trace of a bluefin tuna.

"Temple Master Ning, this is way too much of a waste of time. How about heading back!"

"Yeah, I feel like it's completely impossible to find one."

"It's a pure waste of time."

"Everyone, don't rush. This fish is incredibly valuable; it definitely won't be that easy to encounter."

"Right? One fish can sell for 20 million. Do you think it can just be found casually?"

Ning Fei was very patient.

He stood like a proud sculpture at the bow of the ship.

The hull occasionally rocked wildly back and forth with the massive waves, but his body remained completely motionless.

Inside the cabin, the little ones could look outside through the glass.

They were all puzzled as to what Ning Fei was doing.

Little Dog: "What is Master doing outside? Why won't he come in and play with me?"

Little Fei: "Did he get lost?"

Little Fox: "Just leave him be and wait quietly."

Xiao Heijiu: "So dizzy! So dizzy!"

Ning Fei didn't have the energy to pay attention to the little ones' movements.

They all pressed against the glass, watching the outside.

Unknowingly, four hours passed.

The Qingfeng Cruise Ship continued to roam back and forth across this stretch of the sea.

Yet there was still not a single shadow of a bluefin tuna.

Right at that moment, suddenly, a fish burst out from the surface of the sea.

Ning Fei's concentration was absolute. Almost instantly, he drew the Sappanwood Bow in his hand into a full moon!

"It's not a bluefin tuna."

Ning Fei's eyes were sharp; he identified it immediately.

"It's a flying fish."

"Flying fish have pectoral fins on both sides that act like bird wings, allowing them to leap out of the water and glide."

"They are a very magical type of fish."

"Moreover, they are one of the bluefin tuna's favorite foods."

The viewers were incredibly excited at first, thinking the bluefin tuna had finally shown up.

When they realized it was just a flying fish, everyone became quite disappointed.

Ning Fei eased the tension on the Sappanwood Bow.

Flying fish weren't typical food fish, so Ning Fei had no intention of hunting them.

Just then, right beside the cruise ship, several more flying fish leaped out of the sea, glided through the air for a moment, and splashed back into the water.

Set against the stormy backdrop, this scene appeared somewhat wondrous.

At that moment, Ning Fei caught something from the corner of his eye.

Beneath the adjacent surface, he saw a massive dark silhouette surging forward at an astonishing speed, seemingly chasing after the school of flying fish.

As the dark silhouette passed through, Ning Fei saw several flying fish instantly torn to shreds. Before long, traces of fish blood began to diffuse across the water's surface.

"That's... a bluefin tuna!"

Ning Fei exclaimed.

Hearing Ning Fei's voice, the viewers instantly grew excited again.

"Where? Where? Did Temple Master Ning really find one?"

"He's been looking for five hours, right? So patient!"

"Hard work really does pay off!"

"Good heavens, he really found one!"

The drone immediately turned its lens to film the spot.

The viewers saw a massive fish silhouette advancing at top speed through the sea right beside the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

The drone tracked its movements.

The bluefin tuna's dorsal fin was exceptionally distinct. A long, sword-like protrusion extended from its upper jaw, and its entire body was perfectly streamlined, making it look incredibly athletic.

"Holy shit! Such a massive bluefin tuna!"

"That has to be at least five meters long!"

"Temple Master Ning is going to be rich!"

A few knowledgeable viewers cried out in shock upon seeing the massive fish.

The live stream completely boiled over.

A five-meter-long bluefin tuna was absolutely the best of the best.

The bluefin tuna moved incredibly fast. It easily overtook the cruise ship, surging forward and continuously shredding the flying fish ahead of it.

The sea was littered with the mangled remains of flying fish.

Ning Fei made a prompt decision and quickly said, "Bai, maximum horsepower! Full speed ahead!"

"I definitely have to catch this bluefin tuna!"
