Hearing Shui Xinlan's tearful account, Yan Jin's eyes twitched. "I didn't."

"You must have it, otherwise why would you use a transparent pot to steam crabs in front of all of us?"

You want us all to watch this crab be steamed alive and die.

If we don't behave, you'll definitely steam us too.

"I didn't," Yan Jin continued, shaking her head.

“You have it. We are aquatic creatures, and our cooking methods are all the same. You can smell it; the aroma is already coming out. When we're cooked, we'll smell the same, it definitely will.”

"No." Yan Jin shook her head solemnly, saying with a serious expression, "You don't smell as good as it."

"..." Shui Xinlan paused, "Wow..."

She couldn't hold back any longer and broke down in tears, hugging her brother and sobbing uncontrollably, "Brother... she said I'm not good enough, she threatened me."

"..." Shui Jianglan's scalp tingled. Little sister, is this the time to be arguing about which one is the most delicious when ripe? Do you want to hear what you're even fussing about?

"Ha ha……"

"She said I'm not fragrant enough, ha..."

"I'm dying of laughter! At this moment, I truly believe that this little princess has no bad intentions. After all, even bad intentions require brains, and she doesn't have that, haha..."

"Ha... I really want to know how the little princess's brain works, how she connects steaming crabs with the threat of steaming her?"

"Common traits among aquatic creatures? Ha..."

Yan Jin took a deep breath and asked with a forced smile, "So, are you going to eat later?"

"Eat!" Shui Xinlan, who was crying her heart out, took a breath and stopped crying without hesitation.

"..." Everyone's eyes twitched, including those in the live stream.

Shui Jianglan tried to suppress her anger, but to no avail. She pushed her younger sister away from her arms. "Fine, let her perish. She's beyond saving."

Yan Jin didn't want to pay attention to Shui Xinlan anymore, so she turned around and started mixing the dipping sauce.

Now, everyone fell silent and quietly gathered closer to watch Yan Jin busy herself.

In no time at all, the sauce was ready, the crabs were done, and the lid was lifted.

The crab's unique aroma powerfully filled everyone's nostrils, dominating their senses and captivating their sense of smell.

"This, this smells so good! Such an irresistible aroma!" Ala almost couldn't control her drooling. Good heavens, it smells amazing! "This stuff smells so good, how come we never thought of eating this before?"

Lin Youyou took out the crab, and with a dagger, she cut along the thinnest part of the crab's upper and lower shells, breaking it open.

A crisp 'snap' sound was the sound of the upper and lower shells separating.

Then it's easy to open. After the upper and lower shells of the crab are completely separated, the middle of the crab is exposed.

The crab roe inside was half-filled; it was from a female crab. Yan Jin was delighted, as crab roe was her favorite food.

Yan Jin handed out bowls and chopsticks one by one, saying, "Try it, the crab roe is delicious."

“No need.” O’Shaughnessy chuckled, and to Yan Jin’s surprise, he took out a bowl and a pair of chopsticks from his spatial storage. “I brought my own cutlery.”

"..." Yan Jin's face darkened. She thought he wasn't going to eat anymore.

The other dozen or so schools in Class 4 all chuckled and took out their own bowls and chopsticks. Having learned from their experience of participating in the trial with Yan Jin last time, they prepared on their own this time.

If there's good food, of course we should be prepared; they need to have that kind of enthusiasm and sense of pride in participating.
