Chapter 226: Qiong Lake (6)
I quickly snatched up the oar that had been set down for a moment and placed the largest fish that had floated up onto it.
Gasps erupted from everyone, eyes wide in shock.
Grandmother Sang-woo, Sister Seol, and Hwa-eun all froze and shouted in hushed alarm at my sudden action—because I had just placed a poisoned fish onto the oar.
“Young Master, didn’t you say you’d listen to what I told you!? Put it down right now! That creature is poisonous! The poison of the Lake Spirit can spread for over ten paces around it!”
“Ryong! It’s poison! Put it down, quick!”
“So-ryong! Please put it down! We don’t even know what kind of poison it is yet!”
It seemed like they were all terrified that I might be poisoned, but I had no such concern. No matter how I looked at it, this wasn’t poison.
No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t recall any poison like this.
[There’s no need to worry so much. I’m pretty sure this isn’t poison.]
[Not poison?]
[Not poison?!]
[W-what? You mean it’s not poison? But people actually died from this!]
