Chapter 1018: Chapter 1011 Fishing on Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world, and also the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian Continent.

This place is also the Northern Sea, one of the four seas of ancient China, where the famous Han Dynasty story of Su Wu herding sheep took place.

Historically, it was always Chinese territory, but in modern history, due to Tsarist Russia’s aggression towards China, China gradually lost control over this area, especially during the humiliating last hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, when Tsarist Russia seized vast amounts of Chinese territory from the weak and incompetent Qing Government, which is infuriating and also causes one to sigh in regret.

So Chen Yu wasn’t going to spoil his mood over these historical issues. Together with Hiromi Jounouchi, they put on warm clothes and came to the shores of Lake Baikal, ready to catch some salmon and enjoy the pleasures of fishing at Lake Baikal.

By now, Lake Baikal had begun to freeze over, and a thin layer of ice had formed along the lake’s edge.

Actually, Lake Baikal wasn’t suitable for fishing at this time, but for the couple, both demigods, like Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, it was nothing.

After simply applying some frost to the ice to make it more solid, Chen Yu placed a chair on the ice, then made a hole in the ice surface, calmly preparing the bait and hooks, ready to start fishing.

Hiromi Jounouchi, holding Little Yixi, didn’t join in the fishing but sat beside Chen Yu, her face filled with a smile as she watched her husband prepare for fishing.

The attendants from the train also came over, setting up a small tent beside Chen Yu and his wife, and they brought some pre-prepared food and hot drinks for them to use.

The weather today was quite nice. Even though the lake surface had begun to freeze, there was no wind today, and the ice surface wasn’t too cold, so sitting on the ice in such weather, sipping a little wine while fishing, and enjoying the scenic beauty of Lake Baikal was a very pleasant thing.

“Little Yixi, look, Daddy is fishing! Fishing~ oh! Fish! Yixi, do you know what a fish is?” Hiromi Jounouchi sat next to Chen Yu, placing Little Yixi on her lap, pointing at Chen Yu as she explained to her daughter what he was doing.

Logically speaking, such a young baby shouldn’t be exposed to cold wind and shouldn’t be able to understand anything, but Little Yixi was no ordinary baby.

She carried the bloodline from Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, one being the Underworld Feather Angel, the highest creation of the Necromancy School, possessing the divinity of a demigod, and the other being from the Giant Dragon Clan, a demigod Dragon King.

Even though Hiromi Jounouchi sealed her own bloodline while carrying Little Yixi, nurturing her with a human body, the dragon and Underworld Feather Angel bloodlines were perfectly inherited by Little Yixi.

It’s just that these two powerful bloodlines are currently dormant and sealed, and will mature with Little Yixi’s growth, manifesting their powerful force when she becomes an adult.

However, despite the latent traits and sealed powers, Little Yixi, with both bloodlines, still displayed a faster and more intelligent growth than ordinary infants, with a stronger body.

The mere cold wind only served to stimulate the seals Chen Yu had placed in her body, causing the seals to leak more energy to strengthen her body.

This was also a form of protection from Chen Yu for his daughter, aiming to prevent the rapid growth of powerful bloodlines from affecting Little Yixi while allowing her to grow healthy and happy. Adjusting the seals to be reactive, releasing a small part of the sealed power when encountering problems to fortify Little Yixi’s body, became the most suitable solution.

So, indeed, for Little Yixi, various harsh natural environments not only wouldn’t harm her but would promote her body’s rapid growth.

Of course, this went against the intentions of Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi; they didn’t want their daughter to have powerful strength from the start but rather spend decades going through a draconic infancy like normal dragons, then hundreds of years sleeping to adapt to the strength that comes from bloodline growth.

Their child born of the combination of their bloodlines was extremely powerful. The power in Little Yixi’s body, without seals, was close to Sub-Legendary rank, and once she became an adult, she could become a Legendary-rank being without any obstacles, even without any training.

But such powerful strength would be uncontrollable and unmanageable for such a little girl, so instead of letting an immature-minded little girl take hold of such power, it would be better to seal that power and let it gradually release as Little Yixi grows.

With the family of three happily fishing, although due to the weather the harvest wasn’t great, every time Chen Yu caught a fish from the ice hole, Little Yixi would giggle with joy, which lifted Chen Yu’s spirits as he teased his daughter with the fish, prompting her to grab it.

However, just as the family of three was having fun, others arrived at the ice to fish like Chen Yu.

Seeing the four figures approach, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow but still greeted them amiably.

Of the four people walking over, two were typical Russian men, and the other two were Chinese, looking like two pairs of father and son.

“Friend, how’s the fishing today?” It seemed that they noticed Chen Yu looked Chinese, and one of the Chinese greeted him, even taking out a cigarette to give to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu tossed the cigarette back with a smile, saying, “With kids, it’s better not to smoke. Today’s catch is alright, are you guys here to fish too?”

“Yes, I have always wanted to fish for trout at Lake Baikal, so I came with friends. My name is Liu Peiqiang, and this is my friend Makarov.” The Chinese who offered the cigarette introduced himself and his child: “This is my son Liu Qi, and that’s Makarov’s son. Do you mind if we fish here?”
