Chapter 4: Extreme Escape

Ah!!

Wang Mang had just been cursing that Old Woman in his heart when he suddenly saw the gleaming boning knife falling towards his head.

Oh my god!

If that landed on his head,

wouldn't his life end right here?

In the nick of time,

Wang Mang used all his strength, thrusting his Loach head up and fiercely flinging it to the side.

Clang!!

The next second,

the gleaming, blood-stained boning knife struck where Wang Mang had just been.

Wang Mang almost peed himself from fright.

Damn, that was close!

He was almost cut in half with one blow!

Being a Small Loach is really pitiful; every day he has to go through eighty-one trials... Wuwuwu...

"Hey, proprietress, why did you leave? Hurry up and clean my Loach, or I won't buy fish from your place next time!"

Again!

Hearing the Old Woman's voice, Wang Mang wished he could swallow her whole!

She wouldn't even let him off.

This Old Woman was truly despicable!

"What Loach? Get lost! Our family is busy running for our lives!"

"If you dare to babble any more, believe it or not, I'll slap you!"

The burly man glared fiercely at the Old Woman and cursed.

The Old Woman instantly withered, losing all her arrogance and even reining in much of her usual sharp tongue.

'Is this Zhang the Butcher?'

'Damn, so cool!'

'Well done!'

Seeing this, Wang Mang was overjoyed and developed a good impression of the burly man!

"Ahem, Auntie Wang, I'm really sorry!"

"If you want that Loach, just take it yourself; we need to pack up quickly!"

The proprietress with the long ponytail said to the Old Woman, then quickly directed the two Fishmongers to start packing up the fish on the stall.

At this time, the entire Wet Market was in chaos.

Wet Market staff were running around, evacuating customers and urging vendors to pack up. The order from above had come down: the entire Wet Market had to be evacuated within twenty minutes!

"Alright, then I'll take it back and clean it myself."

The Old Woman mumbled,

Seeing that the proprietress with the long ponytail and Zhang the Butcher had both gone into the warehouse to get busy, she started cursing again, reviling Zhang the Butcher's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"May you give birth to children with no anuses! You don't know how to respect the old and cherish the young; you deserve to be poor your whole life!!"

She cursed and quickly stole a large fat fish from the glass tank and put it into a plastic bag.

Then,

she still didn't let Wang Mang on the cutting board off, reaching out to grab him.

'Old hag, I'll fight you to the death!'

Wang Mang was also in a frenzy.

His rice-grain-sized eyes became bloodshot again, then turned crimson!!

Immediately after, he directly opened his small mouth,

Then, without another word, he aimed at the Old Woman's outstretched hand and bit down hard!

Damn it,

if a Loach doesn't show its power, do you take me for a sick Loach?

"Ah!"

The Old Woman let out a tragic scream... Her finger was bitten bloody by Wang Mang; if he had bitten harder, it probably would have come off!!

She grimaced in pain, clutching her hand tightly, while glaring viciously at Wang Mang,

"You little beast, how dare you bite me? I'll chop you up!"

The Old Woman cursed under her breath,

Then, without another word, she picked up the boning knife from the cutting board and chopped down fiercely at Wang Mang's Loach head.

Wang Mang almost peed himself from fright. Damn it, was he going to die here today?

In a panic,

he quickly thrashed around, struggling to escape.

Fortunately, he had already reached the edge of the cutting board, so after just two thrashes, he fell into the glass tank with a 'plop'.

At the same time, the boning knife in the Old Woman's hand chopped down fiercely on the spot where Wang Mang had just been.

'Hahaha, I'm alive!'

Wang Mang, having fallen into the tank, was like a fish entering the sea. He laughed in his heart and quickly swam deeper.

"Ah! You dead Loach, I'm going to chop you up today!"

Seeing Wang Mang escape, the Old Woman grimaced in anger.

She didn't wear gloves,

and directly plunged her hand into the tank, then started grabbing for Wang Mang.

At this moment,

the two Fishmongers walked over.

They were there to take the fish and shrimp from the tank back to the warehouse.

Seeing the scene before them, both their faces darkened. One of them went up and grabbed the Old Woman's hand fiercely,

and scolded, "What are you doing? Trying to steal fish?"

"Steal what fish! I was bitten by your stinky Loach! Hurry up and find it!! I'm going to chop it up myself!!"

The Old Woman shouted.

No sooner had she spoken than she suddenly let out a loud, tragic scream.

"Ah, my hand, my hand is being pinched off! Quick, quick, save me!!"

The Fishmonger quickly pulled the Old Woman's hand out of the tank.

Good heavens,

a dozen crabs, big and small, had all clamped onto her flesh with their pincers, making the Old Woman scream in pain,

"I'm going to call the police! You're going to be held responsible!"

"Take me to the hospital immediately!"

She yelled loudly,

"Old hag, you stole my fish and you still want to call the police?"

Just then, Zhang the Butcher walked out of the warehouse. Without a word, he snatched the bag the Old Woman was holding in her other hand,

Opened it, and sure enough,

inside was a perfectly intact large fat fish!

The Old Woman's fish theft was confirmed!

She still wanted to deny it, but Zhang the Butcher wasn't having any of it; he slapped her across the face to teach her a lesson!

In front of the hot-tempered Zhang the Butcher,

this Old Woman truly had no temper at all, not even daring to utter a peep... After chasing the Old Woman away,

Zhang the Butcher quickly took all the fish and shrimp from outside back to the warehouse with the two Fishmongers.

Without surprise,

the small Loach was once again knocked unconscious by a chaotic thrashing of fish tails... After an unknown amount of time,

Wang Mang slowly woke up and found that there were many Small Grass Carp swimming around him!

'Did I fall into the Small Grass Carp tank?'

Wang Mang was startled, then immediately overjoyed!!

Hahaha!

The old saying is really true!

Survive a great disaster, and good fortune will surely follow!

He had been wondering before how he could get into that tank full of Small Grass Carp.

He never expected that he would accidentally stumble upon it now!

It was probably too dark in the warehouse, and the two Fishmongers mistook the Small Loach for a Small Grass Carp.

'Awesome!!'

'Hehehe, Small Grass Carp, your King has arrived!'

Wang Mang roared in his heart,

He had been timid among the Carp earlier,

but now, among this group of Small Grass Carp, he was the undisputed King!!

Come on!

Without another word, Wang Mang directly opened his mouth and bit fiercely into a Small Grass Carp in front of him!!

The Small Grass Carp had no time to escape and had half its flesh bitten off by Wang Mang.

A strong smell of blood rushed straight to his head.

That's the smell!!

Wang Mang, after being reborn as a Python, couldn't control himself when he smelled blood.

He took bite after bite, and in no time at all, he swallowed the entire Small Grass Carp!
