"Not bad, it's really delicious." Li Yu savored it carefully, nodding repeatedly.

"Right? Would I lie to you?" Wang Tianzhao tore off a large piece himself, chewing and praising as he mumbled:

"To be honest, I ate a lot of rare delicacies after I went to Jincheng, but compared with the deep-sea delicacies, they all fell short and didn't have the same freshness."

Wang Tianzhao picked up a piece of crab meat and shook it: "This is the real top-quality ingredient! Compared to it, even the strange beasts on land are tasteless."

With such a delicious dish laid out before him, Li Yu didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Tianzhao and picked up another piece to eat in large bites.

The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, devoured all the crab meat from the giant crab claw right in front of Bai Ya.

Bai Ya's expression was complicated, his lips twitched slightly, and his gaze swept over the crab claws that originally belonged to the Giant Crab, as well as Li Yu's satisfied expression, his heart turning cold.

However, he immediately recalled that even though Li Yu was in a hurry to leave Ningcheng, she insisted on taking that half-dead octopus-like sea monster with her...

The white crow suddenly understood.

Clearly, while the sea monster couldn't defeat Li Yu, it still held some other attraction for him...

This may also be a reflection of his value.

Bai Ya pondered to himself, suddenly starting to silently list in his mind which sea beasts had better meat quality and looked more delicious, and perhaps he could make some kind of deal with Li Yu.

Soon after, the sixth light path shattered, and Jiang Yue's figure flashed out like a streak of light.

She was slightly out of breath, her high ponytail a little messy, clearly indicating that the high-speed battle with the vortex had taken a toll.

After all, the resistance of the seawater greatly hindered her speed.

As soon as Jiang Yue came out, she saw Li Yu and Wang Tianzhao standing there leisurely, having already finished eating the crab meat. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting that Li Yu and Wang Tianzhao would be even faster than her.

"Hey, Jiang Yue, you're out?" Wang Tianzhao immediately winked and teased.

"Look at you, all disheveled, having a good time circling around that mudskipper, huh?"

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense! You'd probably never even catch a glimpse of that mudfish's tail if you went!" Jiang Yue snorted irritably, flicking his ponytail, somewhat annoyed by Wang Tianzhao's deliberate teasing.

Jiang Yue quickly stepped into the warm range of the Phoenix Bow before retorting to Wang Tianzhao:

"It seems Li Yu is definitely faster, otherwise you would have been wagging your tail in the air long ago."

Wang Tianzhao shrugged, which was taken as tacit agreement.

As the three surrounded the Phoenix Bow, other light paths also broke down one after another, shattering in succession.

Wu Pojun took the lead and strode out from the light spot. His powerful force pushed the seawater back, as if he was using his physical strength to push the seawater forward.

Seeing the three young men who were already waiting outside, Wu Pojun couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Good lads! You're really quick! You're fast enough." Then he exclaimed:

"It's so good to be young. My old bones are a bit rusty, so I had to move around a bit more to get it done."

Li Yu couldn't help but look at Wu Pojun seriously. No matter how she looked at him, he was in his prime and showed no signs of aging.

Immediately afterwards, Daoist Chenxuan, Bai Ruyu, Lei Xiao, and Monk Jingshi also slowly walked out from the broken path of light and joined the crowd.

The warm and dry area created by Li Yu with the Phoenix Bow was quite popular with the Star Lords, who all gathered around it at the moment.

Jiang Yue even boldly moved closer to the Phoenix Bow, reaching out to warm his hands by the fire. Feeling the reassuring warmth, it seemed that even the energy he had consumed was rapidly recovering.

After a long time, the tenth light path also quietly collapsed, and Lu Fan's figure appeared in the light spots.

However, Li Yu noticed something different. Her golden eyes stared straight at Lu Fan, then subtly swept over the dark shadows on the seabed, and she seemed somewhat surprised by the thick golden threads that had suddenly appeared on Lu Fan's body.

Seeing that the many Star Lords had already finished their battles and gathered together, Lu Fan silently moved closer as well.

"Lu Fan!" Wang Tianzhao strode forward first, his familiarity undisguised.

"You're way too slow! You never went easy on me when we fought! This isn't like you at all. Were you slacking off in that light path?"

"It's nothing..." Lu Fan replied casually, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused, unlike his usual calm demeanor.

Seeing Lu Fan's strange reaction, Wang Tianzhao couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Although Lu Fan appeared to be unharmed, his eyes had lost their usual focus, as if he were lost in thought.

The other star lords also noticed the problem and wondered if Lu Fan had been mentally attacked and hadn't recovered yet.

Before Lu Fan could react, Wang Tianzhao, his eyes darting around with a mischievous smile, leaned closer and deliberately nudged Lu Fan with his elbow, lowering his voice to chuckle evilly:

"Hey, hey~ Lu Fan, you look so absent-minded... are you thinking about women?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan suddenly looked up and reacted with unusual intensity!

"What nonsense are you talking about! Wang Tianzhao, stop making wild guesses!" A barely perceptible hint of panic flashed across his composed face, and his voice rose eight octaves.

Wang Tianzhao was stunned, bewildered by Lu Fan's overreaction.

He was just joking casually, but it sounded like he hit the nail on the head!

Wang Tianzhao immediately became interested, his eyes blazing with a fierce questioning light, and he shouted:

"Huh? Why such a big reaction!? Lu Fan, you don't actually have a woman, do you?"

Even Li Yu cast a strange, probing glance at Lu Fan. Lu Fan was usually calmer and more composed than him, so it was rare for him to be so emotionally expressive. It must be related to that extra thread.

Realizing he had lost his composure, Lu Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart. Once his emotions had returned to normal, he deliberately put on a stern face and began to explain:
