Ah Li's body swayed slightly. Dragging her long tail, she aimed at the cave and was about to enter when she unexpectedly encountered an obstruction.
"Stop!"
With a stern shout, over a hundred figures slowly swam over from all directions. They were all kinds of aquatic demons, ranging from lobsters to frogs.
The word "mob" was written all over their heads.
Then, there was another wild laugh, and a slightly burly figure stepped out of the cave.
His face was covered with black scales, and his eyes were bulging. He looked half-human and half-fish, and he was looking at Ah Li with great eagerness. "Ah Li, you're finally back. Have you thought about it? Marry me."
Ah Li twisted her body and said angrily, "Blackfish Demon, you actually took over my cave when I wasn't here!"
"What are you saying? How can you call this taking over between us husband and wife?"
The blackfish demon laughed. Clearly, he was in a good mood. He waved his hand, and a group of lackeys immediately walked over with a few large boxes of pearls and treasures.
The blackfish demon said proudly, "I recently made a small fortune. I even prepared the betrothal gifts. We'll live here in the future. What's so good about being immortals? Why don't you come with me and take over the river and live a carefree life?"
Ah Li was so angry that she trembled. She said coldly, "Don't be wishful thinking. Get lost!"
"Get lost?"
The blackfish demon sneered. "This king has been thinking about you for a long time. Since I dared to come today, I came prepared. This time, you have to marry me whether you want to or not!"
"You're shameless!"
Ah Li scolded and swung her body. A long wave of water slashed at the blackfish demon like a blade.
This wave of water looked simple, but it contained the power of the entire Heavenly River. Wherever it passed, the surrounding water merged into the wave of water, making it extremely powerful. It was like an endless torrent condensed into a blade that contained the power of the heavens.
The blackfish demon narrowed his eyes and raised his wrist. A large silver blade appeared. Demonic power surged, and the blade made a slight sound. Then, he slashed at the wave of water, easily cutting it in half and turning it into nothingness.
The blackfish demon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed. "Good blade! As expected of an acquired spirit treasure! "
He was pleased with himself. 'With this treasure, I'm like a tiger that has grown wings. This female Jiao Dragon is definitely mine!'
"Acquired spiritual treasure?" Li's heart sank slightly, and she felt a little uneasy.
Her strength was originally on par with the blackfish demon, but it was different now. The amplification of her battle prowess was just too great.
"That's right! Why aren't you surrendering and obediently accepting your fate? Don't worry, I will definitely be a good husband, hahaha. "
The blackfish demon stepped forward and leaned towards Nanna. At the same time, she glared at Nanna and Li Nianfan and said coldly, "You dare to bring a wild man back? I can forgive you, but you have to let me eat him!"
"You want to eat me?"
Li Nianfan shook his head in amusement. "What a coincidence. Just now, I was thinking about how to cook blackfish. I was preparing to make a tomato blackfish fillet."
Li was injured by Nanna, and Li Nianfan felt a little apologetic. Now that someone had come to deliver food, it reminded Li Nianfan that he could make a delicious meal for Li to try.
The blackfish demon said gloomily, "Ha, you still dare to be stubborn when you're about to die! Then I've also thought about it today. I'll eat tomato human meat slices! Die! "
However, before he could attack with his blade, a monstrous pressure pressed down on him, and the river water surged, instantly turning the place where he was standing into a vacuum.
A huge golden rod shadow had already arrived with a loud bang and landed on his head.
The blackfish demon exclaimed. He felt his body become as heavy as Mount Tai, and he did not even have the chance to raise his blade to block before the rod landed squarely on his head.
Without any cushion, without even a groan, it fell to the ground and turned into a huge black fish, falling into a peaceful state.
"Done." Nanna put away the Jingu Bang and curled her lips. "Fortunately, I didn't use too much strength. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat him if he was smashed into meat paste. Brother, what do we do with these little demons?"
"Don't worry about them. Drag the blackfish in."
"Oh."
It wasn't until Nannan carried the black fish into the cave that the surrounding small demons that were scared silly quivered and came to their senses. Then, their souls scattered as they fled for their lives.
The sudden death of their king had left an indelible shadow in their hearts.
In the cave.
Li had already turned into her human form. She led the way and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Saint, for saving me."
If she was really captured by a blackfish demon and made his wife, it would be a nightmare. Just thinking about it was terrifying and unacceptable.
Li Nianfan smiled. "It's a small matter. I'm hungry too. Blackfish can be considered a good ingredient. You're in for a treat."
The cave was not luxurious, but it was a different world. It suddenly opened up. There were a few pearls embedded in the walls, shining with dense light.
It was obviously built by hollowing out the inside of a huge stone wall. There were many rooms and many things, but the interior was ordinary and not luxurious.
Especially compared to the palaces in the Eastern Sea, this was a slum.
No wonder many immortals didn't like to be stationed in places. They had been here for thousands of years. Not to mention that they had to do things, the conditions were also difficult. It was really difficult for immortals.
Li brought Li Nianfan and Nanna to the hall and personally poured wine. She said cautiously, "Lord Saint, please … please drink."
"Okay, thank you."
Li Nianfan picked up the wine cup and took a sip. Then, he asked curiously, "This blackfish demon is a demon in the quicksand river?"
"Yes, Lord Saint."
Ah Li nodded and continued, "It's a tyrant in the Quicksand River. It often overturns boats and swallows passersby. I've fought it many times, but it's always a draw. I can't do anything to it."
As she said, she couldn't help but look at the blackfish again. Her mood was complicated.
Now that she thought about it, the blackfish demon was just like that. In the eyes of the Lord Saint, it was just a good ingredient …
It was said that the Lord Saint liked to eat game. Sure enough, the blackfish demon knew that the Lord Saint had come and specially used itself to entertain the Lord Saint. It was self-aware.
"Okay, then let's take advantage of the fact that the blackfish is still fresh and quickly deal with it."
Li Nianfan smiled slightly. He had eaten a lot of demons, but he didn't feel much in his heart. When he thought that he could eat tomato fish later, his mouth began to secrete saliva. This was also a good dish.
The cooking method of tomato fish was also very simple. Prepare the two main ingredients, tomatoes and fish, and then add onion, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings. Supplement it with white wine. After making a delicious and rich soup, pour the fish into it and simmer it.
There were only two keys to this dish. One was the knife skill, and the other was the preparation of the soup.
Of course, these two things naturally couldn't stump Li Nianfan. It could be said that they were easily done.
With all kinds of seasonings on him, he only needed to set up the stove, pour the seasonings and tomatoes into the soup pot, and boil it into a thick soup.
As for the knife skill … there was no need to introduce it.
Seeing Li Nianfan take out a pile of pots and pans, A 'Li was surprised and felt ashamed at the same time.
She didn't expect that the legendary Lord Saint would be so down-to-earth. He carried such a set of super luxurious tableware with him. How much did he love to eat to be able to do this?
Looking at herself, there wasn't even a kitchen in the entire cave …
Li Nianfan's movements were very fast and skillful. He handled it in an orderly manner. Looking from the outside, it was really like moving clouds and flowing water. It was pleasing to the eye, and one couldn't bear to interrupt.
A 'Li wanted to help, but she didn't know how to do it. She could only stare from the side.
Especially when she saw Li Nianfan holding a kitchen knife and cutting the fish.
She felt a breeze on her face, and she couldn't help but be immersed in it. The world became blurry, and only the image of Li Nianfan cutting the fish was left in her mind. It was as if she saw … Dao.
She couldn't describe it, nor could she comprehend it. But in short, it was very powerful.
With a flash of the knife, a perfect piece of fish was cut. The fish was very thin, transparent, and crystal-like. The fish bones were naturally removed, and the patterns on it were faintly discernible. It was completely a work of art.
One cut after another, the fish was arranged neatly in a row, and it actually began to emit light …
A 'Li was completely stunned. At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling that the black fish demon was lucky because it was actually lucky enough to be made into a dish by an expert. What kind of honor was this? Look, it's so excited that it's glowing …
Not long after, after the fish was cut, it was poured into the boiling tomato pot. The time was just right.
Everything was done. They just had to wait for the fish to mature.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Nianfan asked with a smile, "Fairy Li, what do you usually eat?"
A 'Li thought for a moment and said, "There are often mortals who offer some food and throw it into the river. Occasionally, we will eat some fish and prawns in the water."
"Eat it raw?"
"Yes."
A 'Li's cheeks were slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed. Usually, she didn't feel anything when eating raw, but looking at Li Nianfan's teasing eyes, she actually felt guilty for not knowing how to cook.
Li Nianfan said with a smile, "Hahaha, then you have to taste it properly. Delicacies are an indispensable part of life."
"Yes, yes."
A 'Li hurriedly nodded. Her gaze was fixed on the tomato fish that was gradually boiling. It was obvious that she had been captivated by the overflowing fragrance.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
In the casserole, as the bubbles churned, the fish began to jump in the pot. Along with it, the hearts of A 'Li and Nanna also jumped.
In the red soup, pieces of neat and snow-white fish were embellished. The edges and corners were distinct and crisscrossed. Just looking at it made one's appetite full.
Not to mention the fragrance of tomatoes and fish in the air.
"Gulp."
A 'Li licked her lips without a trace and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She had completely quieted down. She squatted beside the pot and stared blankly at the delicacies in the pot. Her little nose twitched.
"It's about time. Try it."
Li Nianfan's words were simply a blessing to Nanna and A 'Li. They picked up their chopsticks as fast as they could and picked up a piece of fish from the pot.
The fish was cut very thinly, but it was very tough and would not be easily broken. As the fish entered their mouths, the sour taste unique to tomatoes exploded in their mouths. This kind of sourness was not stimulating and was just right. When it touched the tip of the tongue, it completely activated the taste buds. What followed was the explosion of the fish's tenderness and fragrance.
"Ah! It's too delicious! "
A 'Li's eyes turned into stars. She exclaimed in her heart, "So that black fish spirit who coveted my beauty is actually so delicious!"
"Ugh!"
Immediately after, she suddenly let out a soft gasp from her nose.
Just the first piece of fish entered her stomach, and the magic power in her body began to stir. Her entire body began to burn as if she had eaten a great tonic. Her cheeks also began to flush.
"This, this dish actually has … a spirit root?!"
She felt that it was inconceivable. She took a deep breath and carefully scooped up a small bowl of fish soup with a spoon. Then, she opened her small mouth and gently took a sip.
The sour fish soup swirled in her mouth, then flowed down her throat and finally reached her lower abdomen.
Under the extreme texture, a scorching heat suddenly rose from his lower abdomen. Then, it spread to every corner of his body. His mana was like a drop of water that had been poured into a calm pot of oil, and it immediately boiled.
The magic power rushed to her head along with the air waves, causing her to open her mouth. Her nose and mouth resonated.
"Burp —"
He let out a long burp.
With this burp, the bottleneck that was originally like a natural chasm was directly broken like a piece of paper.
Henceforth … the late-stage Celestial Immortal had entered the True Immortal realm!
And all of this was just because of a mouthful of soup and a burp. Would you believe it?
Nanna and Li Nianfan, who were enjoying the delicious food, paused at the same time and looked at Li with surprise.
However, A 'Li didn't have the time to rejoice at all. Her face was flushed red, and even her neck and ears were bright red. She lowered her head forcefully, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
