Chapter 310: The Force Of Nature
Ivanka was so relieved that the man had woken up from his deep sleep, she almost lost her hope. The girl then hugged her brother-in-law tight and cried in his arms. She didn't even realize that she was naked.
"Bro! Don't keep on peeking, turn around now!" Seeing Ryan still staring at her, Ivanka became angry.
"I'll put on my clothes first so don't you dare to peek!" Ivanka said as she continued to cover her body with both hands.
"Don't worry, we're family after all, right? Why should you be shy, hurry up and put your clothes on."
Ivanka quickly ran towards the edge of the pool and grabbed her clothes. Every now and then she would peek at Ryan and realize that her brother-in-law didn't even try to peek at her. Only then she felt relieved.
Ryan himself didn't need to peek at her anymore because he had already engraved the image of her naked body in his memory when she washed her body earlier. The scene would forever stay in his mind.
Not long after, Ivanka said to him, "Alright, you may turn around now,"
Ryan turned and saw Ivanka then said, "You are really pretty."
"Don't joke like that," Hearing the compliment, Ivanka's heart felt a little happy.
Seeing that her brother-in-law had not changed, Ivanka was truly delighted. She immediately went over to him and chatted.
When the two of them talked, Ryan's gaze wandered around and examined this cave once again.
Yesterday, he had only briefly examined this cave before he passed out. Now he's trying to make sense of this environment.
"Bro, the fish that you ate came from that pond," Ivanka said while pointing at the pool.
Ryan then fixed his sight on the pool. Almost immediately, several fish jumped excitedly from the water.
The two of them then walked over to the pool. After that, Ryan dipped his hands in it. His hand was like a net and he quickly caught a fish with it.
Ivanka stared at him, looking completely amazed. She knew how hard it was to catch the fish so she immediately clapped her hands. "Brother Ryan, you're really amazing!"
She had to be patient when she tried to catch the fish yesterday, but now her brother-in-law could catch them with one hand and in no time.
Ryan then looked at the fish closely, was this the fish he ate yesterday?
After looking around, this fish was different from the fish he had ever seen. It looked like their habitat was only in this cold pond.
After holding it for a while, Ryan put the fish alive into his mouth and began to chew it.
Each bite he did, an energy began to enter his body. When he swallowed it, the energy that had previously stopped absorbing the mysterious power within his body started to move again.
The man's eyes sparkled. When he saw that cold pool, his heart was truly delighted.
That mysterious power within his body had really bothered him all this time but he could control it better thanks to the energy that came from these fish and his grandfather's medicinal pill. Ryan did not think that these fish had the power to absorb the mysterious power residing in him.
'Is this a force of nature?'
Yin and Yang was a concept from eastern world philosophy that described the nature of two interconnected and opposing forces, and how they built on one another. The mysterious power in his body was strong, rough and dominating. This could be said to be the 'Yang'. While the energy contained in this fish was more gentle like 'Yin'. The two then created harmony and unity.
This seemed to be the most reasonable explanation for Ryan.
"Hmm? What's wrong, brother?" Ivanka was worried when Ryan suddenly fell silent after eating the fish he caught.
"It's okay, but I think I need to get in the pool and soak in it," Ryan said with a laugh. Then, under Ivanka's gaze, he actually took off his shirt and pants.
"Bro!" Ivanka was shocked when she saw that, wasn't this sexual harassment?
When Ryan was naked, he put his clothes some distance away from the pool before throwing himself in itl. Meanwhile, Ivanka was trying to peek at her brother-in-law from between her fingers. She wondered how big Ryan was down there.
Then, with her stealthy eyes, Ivanka saw Ryan jumping and plunging into the cold pool.
Since these fish helped him with controlling the mysterious power within his body, Ryan couldn't let go of this opportunity.
The pool in the middle of this remote cave was a strange phenomenon itself, Ryan considered the site as sacred as it had been around for a long time. There were also living things in this pool which made their existence questionable. According to Ryan's analysis, since the fish had been living in this sacred pond for a long time, they had absorbed the energy contained in it.
That's why it was Ryan's best chance to control the mysterious power within his body. If he ate a lot of fish from this place, he should be able to control them perfectly.
Given how powerful his mysterious power was, Ryan was clearly tempted to use it. So with his naked body, he immediately threw himself into the pool.
At this moment, water was splashed in all directions and, at the same time, Ryan was immediately shivering with cold. The water in this pool was so cold that his junior shrank and got smaller.
However, Ryan didn't really care about it. As long as he could control the mysterious power within his body, a sacrifice like this was worth it. If compared to his life's experiences, this cold water was nothing to him.
When its calm surface suddenly filled with ripples, the fish were shocked and ran all over the place. Unfortunately, a fish was caught in the whirlpool and Ryan scooped it with his palm. Without hesitation, the man immediately ate it.
After he swallowed the fish, that cold energy instantly fused with the previous combined energy. At this time, Ryan was already swimming towards the bottom of the pool. After a while, he opened his eyes to check on his surroundings. He was really shocked when he learned about something.
The depth of this pool was truly surprising, it's estimated to be around 15 meters deep. What's more, this pool was much bigger than when he saw it from above.
Seeing this amazing pool, Ryan couldn't stop his heart from praising the greatness of mother nature.
While he was diving further, he found a group of fish happily swimming together. Ryan was beaming with joy in his eyes, those fish were like a hidden treasure for him.
Without thinking, he immediately dashed towards the fish and managed to catch 4 of them with both hands.
Ivanka was still closing her eyes while waiting for Ryan by the side of the pool. At this time, the man suddenly appeared from the water and carried four fish in his hand.
After giving it to Ivanka, he returned to diving completely naked into the pool. After a while, he re-emerged to the surface and he made the water overflow.
"Bro, be careful," Ivanka was a bit shocked and immediately covered her eyes with her hand.
Without saying anything, Ryan devoured the 4 fish he gave to the girl earlier and some other fish he had just caught.
By eating several fish at once, the energy that entered his body immediately formed a pretty large energy ball. It immediately worked and absorbed Ryan's mysterious power.
When he dived again, Ryan was surprised. It seemed like there was a cold aura enveloping him in the water. It seemed to be helping him suppress the mysterious power within his body, so he guessed that this pool was the source of the fish's energy.
There was no other explanation that Ryan could think of, it seemed like he had found a sacred pool that had been around for hundreds of years.
After reappearing on the top, Ryan chewed the fish again. He didn't mind the fish struggling in his mouth, this was for his own safety so he wouldn't hesitate to chew on them all.contemporary romance
"Ivy, are you hungry?" Ryan smiled and gave some fish to Ivanka.
Eyes closed, Ivanka quickly shook her head. The fishy smell and sensation of the fish she chewed last night still haunted her mind. If it weren't for Ryan in a critical condition, she wouldn't want to chew it raw.
Seeing Ivanka refusing, Ryan did not hesitate. He went back to eating the fish and returned to diving.
There were a lot of thumb-sized fish in this pond, but Ryan could not find any other species besides them.
He didn't care though, he only cared about these fish.
While swimming towards the target, Ryan managed to catch several fish with both hands.
