Li Huan placed the "Eight Treasures Osmanthus Fish" on the referee team's table.

"The fish I'm cooking is mandarin fish, which contains eight ingredients!"

Wu Sangui asked, "Which eight ingredients?"

Li Huan said, "There's a secret hidden inside the mandarin fish's belly, everyone please take a look!"

As he spoke, Li Huan picked up a sharp knife and gently sliced ​​open the belly of the mandarin fish.

In an instant, a crucian carp appeared.

"A fish!" Princess Jianning exclaimed, "There's another fish inside the mandarin fish!"

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "Lord Li, your dish is a big fish nested within a small fish!"

Li Huan then used a sharp knife to cut open the crucian carp's belly, revealing a mandarin fish!

"Culter alburnus!" Wei Xiaobao exclaimed. "Hehe, I love eating culter alburnus the most!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Huan used a sharp knife to cut open the belly of the mandarin fish.

Suddenly, a yellow eel appeared.

"Hahaha..." Wu Sangui laughed loudly, "Lord Li, what kind of trick are you playing, hiding a fish within a fish?"

Li Huan said, "That's right, there's a fish inside a fish, and there's even a loach inside the eel!"

Duolong exclaimed, "No way, there's still something inside the eel's belly?"

Li Huan continued, using a sharp knife to cut open the eel's belly, revealing two loaches!

"Excellent!" Doron clapped. "Lord Li's culinary skills are superb, and his techniques are exquisite!"

Feng Xifan said, "There shouldn't be any fish left in the loach's belly, right?"

Wu Yingqi said, "There should still be small hairy fish hiding there."

Li Huan said, "There are no fish left in the loach's belly, but there are other ingredients."

His movements were swift and deft; he gently sliced ​​open the bellies of the two loaches.

Inside, four river shrimp were found.

Wu Sangui exclaimed in astonishment: "How did Lord Li manage to hide two river shrimp inside each loach?"

Wu Yingqi also wondered, "Yes, a loach's belly isn't big enough, so how can it fit two river shrimp inside?"

Li Huan said, "It's very simple. I specially selected two female loaches with fish roe in their bellies. After taking out the fish roe, two river shrimp can be hidden inside their bellies."

Wu Sangui and Wu Yingqi suddenly realized what was going on.

Li Huan said, "Everyone, please look. Each of these four river shrimp has a ball rolled up in its tail."

Sure enough, each river shrimp had a ball rolled inside its tail.

Four river shrimps and four meatballs, in red, white, black, and green.

Li Huan explained, "The red meatballs are made with tuna! The white meatballs are made with pufferfish! The black meatballs are made with squid! The green meatballs are made with abalone!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Doron gave a thumbs up.

Wu Sangui asked, "Tuna, what kind of fish is that?"

Li Huan said, "It is a fish that comes from the deep sea. Because it moves very fast, like a spear, it is named tuna."

Wu Sangui then asked, "Why is the abalone green?"

Li Huan said, "I added spinach juice to the abalone filling, which dyed it green."

"I see." Wu Sangui understood.

Feng Xifan said, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that one should risk one's life to eat pufferfish. Lord Li's 'pufferfish balls' are not poisonous, are they?"

Li Huan raised an eyebrow: "Whether it's poisonous or not, Lord Feng can find out by taking a bite, right?"

Feng Xifan suddenly froze.

In order to prevent contestants from secretly poisoning their dishes, all ingredients and seasonings prepared by each contestant in this "Martial Arts Culinary Competition" have undergone strict and careful inspection to ensure that they are free of poison.

However, whether the pufferfish meat contains toxins was overlooked during the inspection.

Li Huan asked, "What's wrong? Does Lord Feng not dare to eat pufferfish balls?"

Wei Xiaobao interjected, "Lord Li, don't underestimate Lord Feng. He's highly skilled in martial arts and must have developed an immune system to all poisons. How could he possibly be afraid of pufferfish?"

Feng Xifan raised his head and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Eunuch Wei flatters me. I have not cultivated a body that is immune to all poisons. However, even if a mere pufferfish is poisonous, it cannot harm me!"

Indeed, with Feng Xifan's skill, even if he ate a poisonous pufferfish, he could easily expel the poison through his internal energy and be free from any danger to his life.

Li Huan said, "Since Lord Feng is so confident, please try the 'pufferfish balls' first!"

Feng Xifan said, "Alright! I'll taste it first this time, Your Highness, please don't mind!"

Wu Sangui stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

Feng Xifan picked up his chopsticks, preparing to pick up the "pufferfish balls" from the tail of a river shrimp.

"Wait!" Wei Xiaobao called out.

Feng Xifan asked, "What is it, Eunuch Wei?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I'd like to risk my life to eat pufferfish, so please give me this 'pufferfish ball', Lord Feng!"

Feng Xifan chuckled: "Eunuch Wei, what if the pufferfish is poisonous? Aren't you afraid of dying from poisoning?"

Wei Xiaobao said, "I trust Lord Li's cooking skills. Pufferfish cooked by him will never be poisonous!"

After saying that, Wei Xiaobao drooled with envy.

Feng Xifan put down his chopsticks: "Since Eunuch Wei wants to eat 'pufferfish balls,' you can have them."

Wei Xiaobao quickly grabbed his chopsticks, picked up a "pufferfish ball," and put it in his mouth.

With a "sizzle," juice burst out from the "pufferfish ball" and splashed onto Feng Xifan's face.

In the blink of an eye, no matter how fast Feng Xifan reacted, he couldn't dodge the flying liquid and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Duolong chuckled.

Li Huan said, "Xiao Bao, eat slowly. The 'pufferfish balls' have a rich broth. If you bite into them too hard, the broth will definitely burst out. Luckily, it landed on Lord Feng's face, not the Prince's."

Wei Xiaobao chewed on the "pufferfish balls" and gave Li Huan a thumbs up: "Delicious, delicious, incredibly fresh!"
