Ao Cheng led Li Nianfan to the main hall and hurriedly said, "Young Master Li, please take a seat."
In the main hall, the materials of the tables and chairs were also extremely extraordinary. They were all carved out of special wood and stones from the sea, and they were even shining brightly.
Li Nianfan had really seen the saying "living off the mountain and living off the sea" this time.
There were not many other things in the sea, but there were many shiny things and seafood.
Everyone sat down, and Li Nianfan picked up the crystal cup on the table and looked at it carefully.
The crystal cup was very small, and it was warm to the touch. It was filled with transparent wine, rippling slightly, and there was a hint of alcohol fragrance.
Li Nianfan first sniffed it gently, then drank it in one gulp.
He smacked his lips and found that the wine was not strong. Instead, it had a hint of sweetness. It was considered a good wine.
Ao Cheng said, "Young Master Li, the wine I have here is far inferior to your wine. Please don't dislike it."
"Elder Ao, you're too polite. This wine is considered a rare wine." Li Nianfan smiled. He was well aware of the difference between the two, but he could not say it out loud, and it was not appropriate for him to take out his wine at this time.
Clap, clap!
Ao Cheng clapped his hands gently.
Immediately, many clam demons filed in and gathered in an open space in front of the main hall, and began to perform with all their might.
The bodies of the sea demons were actually like water snakes. They twisted very smoothly in the water, and their bodies rippled gently like water.
The musical instruments were even simpler. There were a few conch demons blowing conches at the side, and it was pleasant to the ears.
Li Nianfan watched the performance and could not help but feel a little emotional. He had just seen the female ghost's performance not long ago, and now he was here to see the sea demons' performance. It was interesting.
In fact, the female ghost was transformed from a human, so the performance was more or less popular. However, the sea demons were different. They gave Li Nianfan a different kind of exotic taste.
The sea clan's performance was very rich. After the clam demons' dance, it was interspersed with dolphins and sharks playing, and then there was the blue whale's fountain activity.
This made Li Nianfan exclaim in his heart that this trip to the sea was worth it.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Elder Ao, is your carp demon family so powerful in the ocean?"
"Eh …"
Ao Cheng was stunned for a moment. His mind spun quickly. He quickly organized his words and said, "Young Master Li, actually … it's mainly because of our ancestors. As the saying goes, a carp leaps over the dragon gate. Our ancestors once had a true dragon."
"I see." Li Nianfan could understand. This was just like the Immortal Cultivators. Those who had Immortal ancestors and those who had not were not on the same level.
It was no wonder that the carp spirit was related to the dragon.
Li Nianfan raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Then I wish Elder Ao to become a dragon as soon as possible."
This sentence sounded different to Ao Cheng's ears. He was extremely excited. "The expert is willing to change the definition for us. He's willing to recognize us as dragons!"
Although he was a dragon, that was his own opinion. It had to be the expert's opinion.
Now that the expert had recognized him as a dragon, he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. It was like a child who had been recognized by his parents. If others said that he was good, he would just listen. Only when his parents said that he was good, he was really good.
His recent performance must have satisfied the expert.
Ao Cheng was so touched that he wanted to cry. He said solemnly, "Young Master Li, don't worry. I'll work hard and become a dragon as soon as possible!"
Just then, a clam demon walked in. "Your Majesty, the crab seems to be done steaming."
Ao Cheng quickly said, "Quick, bring it up. Give Young Master Li and the rest a portion first."
Not long after, a group of sea clan ladies walked in. They were wearing thin silk ribbons and had their hair tied up in buns. There were also scales on their bodies. The scales were different in color. It was obvious that they were different species.
Each of them had a small plate in their hands. On it was a crab that had turned red. Some of them were still waving their pincers. They were in a peaceful state.
Li Nianfan said, "I forgot to mention. When steaming the crab, you have to tie it up. That way, the meat will be compact and the taste will be better."
Ao Cheng frowned and quickly said, "Young Master Li, I'm so sorry. The servants don't know this. I'll get them to do it again."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. It's just a small trick. Be careful next time." Li Nianfan waved his hand casually. Then, he focused on the crab.
His first impression was that it was fat!
Look at the big and powerful pincers, then look at the broad back, then look at the lush and sharp hair. In his previous life, it would definitely be the best of the hairy crabs!
It was bigger than a palm when he picked it up.
However, as Li Nianfan said, because there was no rope tied, the crab's shell was already a little raised. The meat would be affected. This was slightly imperfect for Li Nianfan, who pursued perfection.
However, it was not a big deal.
Li Nianfan took out the seasoning he brought with him. It was not complicated. It was just vinegar and ginger. He smiled at everyone and said, "Crab goes better with vinegar."
Ao Cheng responded, "I … I've learned something."
Everyone looked at the crab and did not know where to start eating. They could only watch from the side how Li Nianfan ate it. Then, they would follow suit.
Fortunately, everyone was not stupid. They could understand it at a glance.
"Kacha, kacha!"
One after another, the sound of shells being peeled could be heard.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that under the strong appearance of the crab, there was actually so much snow white tender meat hidden. Moreover, it was clearly steamed without any seasoning, but it was actually able to emit waves of fragrance, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ao Cheng followed Li Nianfan and dipped it in vinegar. Then, he lifted a crab leg and slowly put it into his mouth.
First, his taste buds were stimulated by the sourness of the vinegar. Then, the tender crab meat seemed to bounce in his mouth. The fragrance of the crab meat exploded instantly and engulfed everything. There was not much crab meat, but the fragrance was extremely overbearing, almost invading all of one's senses.
It was soft with a kick, fresh but not greasy. It had a long lasting flavor and endless aftertaste!
Just how fragrant was it?
"Delicious!"
Ao Cheng stared at the crab leg in his hand with wide eyes, revealing a look of disbelief.
"I didn't expect there to be such delicacies right under my nose?!" He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he had lived for so many years in vain. He was such a f * cking failure.
Li Nianfan smiled slightly and said, "That's not all. If the crab shell is peeled, the crab paste in the male crab and the crab roe in the female crab are the most delicious things."
"This thing can be so delicious!" Ao Yun was also stunned. He felt that his worldview had been turned upside down.
Suddenly, a trace of desolation appeared in his heart. Tears blurred his eyes.
Why, why did you let me taste such delicacies before I die?
This was a kind of happiness, but also a kind of torture. When he was alive, he missed out on countless such delicacies. Only when he was about to die did he realize that it was more than a mistake! The most painful thing in the world was this.
There was only one thought in his mind. "Eat, I must eat enough before I die!"
Little Daji completely peeled a crab leg and handed the whole crab leg to Li Nianfan's mouth. She said softly, "Young Master, I've peeled it for you."
Li Nianfan opened his mouth and ate it. He said with satisfaction, "Mmm, it's delicious. Little Daji is so obedient."
Little Daji smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you, Young Master. I'll peel another claw for you."
"Big Brother, look at me." Long'Er looked as if she was presenting a treasure. Her hands formed a seal, and there was a ripple of water. Then, the whole crab's shell was easily separated. The white crab meat made Li Nianfan's eyes turn red.
Divine skill, this was definitely a divine skill to eat crab!
He cried out in his heart. To be able to eat crab meat in big mouthfuls, this was something that many people dreamed of.
However, Long'Er obviously had no intention of sharing with him. She opened her mouth and immediately stuffed the whole crab meat into her mouth. Both sides of her cheeks were puffed up. She looked at Li Nianfan as if she was waiting for praise.
Li Nianfan looked at the crab in his hand and suddenly felt that it was not delicious.
However, he said, "Actually, the reason why crab meat is delicious is related to the process of peeling the shell. If you don't use your hands to peel the shell bit by bit, the crab meat that you eat will have no soul."
After saying that, he seemed to be focused on peeling the crab shell in his hand.
Ao Cheng and others who were about to use their spiritual power to peel the crab shell suddenly stopped their movements silently. They followed the footsteps of Li Nianfan, calmed their hearts, and manually peeled the shell bit by bit.
Peeling the crab shell was obviously an extremely boring thing, but soon, everyone found that when peeling the shell, they could not help but become focused, and even their hearts gradually calmed down.
There were only two simple thoughts in their minds, one was to peel the shell, and the other was to eat it.
As their abilities grew, unknowingly, their hearts gradually became impetuous. This was because many things could be done easily with magic power, causing their concentration to be insufficient. They did many things that took advantage of shortcuts, and naturally, a large part of their state of mind would appear.
However, at this moment, they suddenly found themselves, and there was a peace of mind as if they had returned to the harbor.
How was this peeling the shell, this was clearly refining the heart!
The expert was indeed an expert. Such a state of mind was simply embarrassing. No wonder he could do it. He clearly had unparalleled strength, but he could still completely integrate into the role of a mortal.
If it were us, we would not know the immensity of heaven and earth. We would be so arrogant that there was no way we could be a mortal with peace of mind.
From the expert, even if we could only learn a little bit of ability, it would be enough to benefit us for the rest of our lives!
Everyone could not help but shout in their hearts that they had learned something.
On the other side, the ocean show continued.
What surprised Li Nianfan was that this time, it was a group of seafood on stage.
There were Australian lobsters, king crabs, squid, salmon, and so on. There were many of them. They were not dancing, but swimming happily, as if they were trying their best to show off.
"Young Master Li, this is a seafood gathering. It's a show specially prepared for you."
Ao Cheng smiled slightly and continued, "They are all the elites of the seafood, and the quality of their meat is the best. Young Master Li, if you like any of them, just tell me. Wouldn't it be great to bring them home and make them into a dish? If you like, you can take all of them. "
"Elder Ao, you're so considerate."
"Oh right, a delicacy like the hairy crab can't be ignored!" Ao Cheng suddenly thought of something and said to his subordinates, "Men, quickly find the Hairy Crab Elite King and get him to pick the fat and strong hairy crabs. Also, make hairy crabs a delicacy of our Carp Palace. Remember to cultivate them well."
Then, the crowd's topic naturally changed. They began to comment on the seafood that was performing, discussing which part of their meat was more delicious.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At that moment, Ao Yun coughed again. This time, he could not stop coughing, and a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth.
He forced himself to say, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Li Nianfan noticed that the blood that Ao Yun coughed out was already a little black. The damage to his internal organs could be said to be extremely serious. He could not help but say, "Elder Ao, I'm afraid your brother's injury is not optimistic."
Ao Cheng sighed softly and shook his head. "Young Master Li, to be honest, my brother is poisoned. I'm afraid this is his last moment."
Was there nothing he could do?
Ao Cheng and his brother were quite optimistic. They were actually waiting for death calmly.
Li Nianfan stared at Ao Yun for a while but did not find any signs of poisoning. He said in surprise, "Do you mind if I take your pulse?"
Ao Cheng immediately said excitedly, "No, no, Young Master Li, feel free to take my pulse!"
Naturally, there was no lack of anticipation in his heart. His eyes were full of eagerness.
After a while, Li Nianfan retracted his hand and frowned. As expected, he did not feel anything. Ao Yun's pulse was just weak.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "What poison is he suffering from?"
Ao Cheng said, "It's a kind of demonic bug that likes to devour blood, flesh, and mana. Once it enters the body, it will be like a maggot in the bone. It will never be full. It will not stop until it has devoured a person completely."
"There's actually such a bug." Li Nianfan was a little surprised. This was beyond the scope of medical skills. He was afraid that he could not do anything.
However, this was normal. After all, even the gods could not do anything.
Li Nianfan asked, "Is there no way to force this bug out?"
"It's impossible. This bug absorbs in the flesh and blood. Because the blood and mana between the heart and the Dantian are the most delicious, it stays there. If you force it out or attack it, you will be the first to be injured."
Ao Cheng paused and said, "As the bug consumes, it will make the person weaker and weaker. Their recovery will not be as good as before. Not only will the injury not be healed, but it will also worsen until the person dies in pain."
This was similar to a certain virus in his previous life. It sucked the essence of the person and made the person's immune system weaker and weaker. In the end, the person would die of weakness.
Although Ao Yun's injury was not light, if he was not poisoned, it would not take long for the injury to heal. However, because of this poison, not only did his injury not heal, but it also worsened. In addition, the bug was still devouring his blood and mana. Being in such a situation was indeed hopeless.
Seeing Li Nianfan's silence, Ao Cheng could not help but feel bitter.
Naturally, he did not doubt the expert's ability. He could only say that the expert did not plan to do anything.
This was not strange, and there was nothing to complain about.
Ao Yun's eyes dimmed slightly. He laughed freely and said, "Hahaha, from the moment I was poisoned, I was already prepared to die. I can still hold on for a while. To be able to eat a delicacy like hairy crab before I die, even if I die, I'm satisfied."
Bug possession … It likes to devour flesh and mana.
Li Nianfan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Actually … It's not that there's no way. I just don't know if this method will work."
