Chapter 135 The Young Lady's Reward
As dusk descended over the sea, the entire sky was painted with a tapestry of pale purple and orange-red.
The yacht that Xiao Guang rented wasn't big, but it was beautiful enough, with a pure white hull and a small round table covered with a linen tablecloth on the deck.
The round table was covered with leftover food, all of which appeared to be carefully prepared high-end dishes.
Lin Ye leaned against the ship's railing, holding a glass of white wine he hadn't finished, gazing blankly at the sunset on the horizon.
For several days in a row, there have been fights in the nature reserve, ghost hunting on the sacred mountain, and battles on the water. I'm really tired.
With the sea breeze on my face and the slight intoxication from the wine, my tense nerves finally relaxed.
Xiao Guang stepped out of the cabin, her hair no longer styled in a ponytail like during the battle, but loosely draped over her shoulders as usual, which accentuated her already delicate features with a touch of allure.
The perfectly tailored short dress accentuated her slender waistline, with the hem barely covering her legs, revealing a pair of long, straight legs. Her bare feet trod on the deck, adding a touch of allure.
She slowly took out a palm-sized black brocade box and handed it to Lin Ye: "This is for you."
""
Lin Ye opened the brocade box and found a dark purple "poison needle," about the length of a palm, lying quietly on the white velvet lining inside.

The "poison needle" emitted a faint, cold light under the candlelight. Lin Ye sensed it remotely with his mental power and found that the concentration of poison energy condensed on it far exceeded that of the "poison needle" that Gastly was currently wearing. It was definitely a mid-grade item.
"This gift is incredibly valuable! A mid-level item, its market value is at least ten million!"
"Oh dear, I already said this is a gift from our Bellitz family, not something I bought with my own money, so please accept it."
"Ghost Stone".
Lin Ye nodded and called out again. Soon, a cloud of purplish-black mist surged out from the shadow, and Gastly emerged, baring its teeth.
The moment it appeared, it was attracted by the "poison needle" in Lin Ye's hand, which was of much better quality than the one it was currently wearing.
"This was specially prepared for you by Hikari. You should thank your former trainer."
Gastly scratched its head, glanced at Plantina with a complicated expression, then gave an embarrassed smile, extended its ghostly paw, and carefully took the "poison needle".

The moment the latter was grasped, it flashed on its claw tip, the purplish-black poison energy intertwining and merging with the energy on its body, before returning to the shadow on its own.
Then, Lin Ye suddenly smiled!
"What's wrong?"
'
"It's nothing, that guy just told me to thank you."
Xiao Guang smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "It's good that it likes it. And now it seems that its choice was right. I can feel that it has become much stronger. It's no exaggeration to say that it has undergone a complete transformation."
And it's not just Gastly, it's the other Ghost Pokémon too. Lin Ye, how did you manage that?
Lin Ye didn't answer Xiao Guang's question. Instead, he looked at her with a half-smile, which made her cheeks flush.
"You previously said that the 'poison needle' was a gift of gratitude from the Bellizzi family, and that you would express your gratitude in other ways."
"Then I'm curious, how exactly do you intend to express your gratitude by inviting me here?"
Xiao Guang's face instantly burned, but he pretended to be nonchalant and turned around, pointing to the sea below the ship's side and saying, "Well, we'll talk about that later. It's a rare opportunity to go out to sea. Lin Ye, do you want to go fishing?"
I heard from the locals that you can catch neon fish in these waters at night, and it's a beautiful sight.
"Great! It's a rare opportunity to go out to sea, and the weather is so nice. It would be a waste not to be a fisherman."
,
The two set up folding chairs on the platform near the water on the lower deck, and then took out the fishing rods provided on the ship, each choosing a spot to fish.
Xiao Guang baited the hook with surprisingly skillful technique. Seeing Lin Ye looking over, he proudly raised his chin and said, "My family has a private fishpond. My grandfather taught me how to bait the hook, reel in the line, and watch the float when I was a child. I can do it all. Let's have a competition to see who catches more fish."
After saying that, she cast the fishing line with all her might, and the fishing hook drew an arc in the night sky, landing less than five meters away from the yacht.
Lin Ye didn't say anything, but silently cast his own fishing rod out with a light and precise motion, and the fishing hook landed accurately in a more distant place.
Three minutes have passed.
Lin Ye's float suddenly sank, and with a flick of his wrist, he reeled in a small, palm-sized juvenile bass, which landed in the bucket next to him.
Xiao Guang glanced at it, his lips twitched downwards, and he gripped his fishing rod even tighter in a defiant manner.
Five minutes passed, and Lin Ye started another one.
Fifteen minutes.
Lin Ye caught a neon fish that emitted a faint fluorescent light all over its body. It was not large, but its color was extremely beautiful. In the night, it looked like a swimming fluorescent stone.
Xiao Guang finally couldn't resist anymore. He gripped the fishing rod with both hands and pulled it up with all his might, but the fishing line was empty, and he didn't even catch a single seaweed.
She rebaited the hook and cast it again, this time with more force than the first time. As a result, the hook almost snagged her hair when it was cast.
"Ugh, what happened? I'm so angry!" What's wrong with this sea? I always win the championship when I'm fishing at home!
'
"Um, if I may ask, who were the other competitors when you won the fishing championship?"
"There are many. Our maids, security guards, drivers, and cooks all participated. Some of them have even won fishing prizes."
"I see~ It seems your previous fishing championship was indeed very prestigious."
Xiao Guang had probably figured it out by now. He lowered his head dejectedly and said with a wronged expression, "I clearly wanted to show off my skills in front of Lin Ye."
The next moment, Xiao Guang's shoulders stiffened as a pair of strong hands grabbed his small hands from behind.
"Relax your hands, I'll teach you~"
Finally, Xiao Guang caught his first fish of the night on his fishing rod!
At this moment, the two were pressed tightly together. Lin Ye could smell the faint fragrance wafting from Xiao Guang's hair, and her body was surprisingly soft.
Gradually, the two stopped thinking about fishing, as if they only had each other in the world.
They were almost pressed together until Xiao Guang felt something hard pressing against his buttocks.
She froze for a moment, then tried to get up as if she had been electrocuted, but Lin Ye grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"You~, "
"Didn't you prepare a gift for me yourself? Can you tell me about it now?"
Although Xiao Guang blushed, she still mustered up the courage to kiss Lin Ye and wrapped her arms around his neck. The latter responded without any hesitation.
Lin Ye had one arm around Xiao Guang, and his other hand wasn't still either. It moved upwards along the curve of her waist, his fingertips sliding across the fabric of her dress, feeling the amazing slenderness and softness of her waist beneath the fabric.
Xiao Guang twisted slightly under his palm, not to dodge, but more like an involuntary response.
Lin Ye sensed her sensitive spots; every time his fingertips brushed against her, her breathing became erratic.
So he deliberately lingered there a while longer, rubbing his fingertips back and forth a few times through the thin fabric of the skirt, before continuing to explore upwards.
Lin Ye's hands and tongue became increasingly bold and unrestrained, deliberately increasing their force. Xiao Guang's body trembled, and he went limp, only managing to stay upright thanks to Lin Ye's embrace.
Xiao Guang's mind had completely shut down. Sensing that Lin Ye was tearing away her last shred of decency, she used her remaining rationality to say, "Go... go inside the cabin..."
"Okay~"
Just as Lin Ye picked up the half-naked Xiao Guang, the small boat suddenly shook violently, and the two almost fell over.
Immediately afterwards, the boat rocked violently with the sea, and fishing rods, buckets, and folding chairs were overturned with a clatter. The few fish that had been caught with great difficulty were taken home.
