Zhao Xi tried to concentrate and quietly handle the various types of fish.
The venting was just a coincidence; it just so happened that Manager Qian sent over a lot of powerful demons, so I killed them all at once to prevent them from escaping.
The kitchen helper brought in a large clam spirit.
This giant clam spirit was enormous, likely the source of the scallop beds in the Crystal Palace. No matter how hot the fire talisman was, or how many times it was pried open with a crowbar, it refused to open its shell.
"The patterns on this giant clam's shell are so beautiful!"
"The patterns and defensive formations look similar. There are such monstrous beasts in the deep sea!"
"Why not try illusion magic and let the mirage spirit fight it!"
"The mirage essence is already in the pot!"
Everyone marveled and tried to persuade Zhao Xi to help her find a way to deal with this radius.
“Little Sister Zhao, this clam spirit is impervious to water and fire. The fairy boy sent it to a high place and dropped it to destroy its shell before he could find the clam pearl.”
Shopkeeper Qian emerged from the magical artifact and told her about the fairy boy's method.
However, Zhao Xi did not adopt it completely.
To extract pearls from clams, you can drop them from a height; for cooking, you need whole clam meat.
"I'll try to hatch it."
She tapped the clam shell to confirm the empty space, then found a large sword taller than herself in the ring.
Swing the knife—and chop down.
"Clang—" The sound made my hand go numb from the impact.
The defensive array on the clam shell suddenly lit up, and a dark blue spiritual energy spread outwards.
Who would have thought that this clam spirit would possess the skills of a squid...
"Ding—" Something shattered in the blue mist, triggering another dark green gale.
Zhao Xi wanted to get as close as possible, but she felt something scraping her face at an extremely fast speed.
Then I felt a slight pain.
She touched it in surprise.
Enveloped in this blue-green aura, nothing could be seen clearly.
But she smelled blood.
Is it blood?
"Let's say those patterns are a defensive array; this great demon is going to be tough to beat."
"This seafood smells so good, my mouth is watering!"
"How big of a pot would you need to steam such a huge clam? *slurp*"
"Have you noticed how powerful the Alliance Leader is? He can even kill demonic beasts from the Middle Immortal Realm using only low-grade magical artifacts!"
The giant clam spirit was plotting its escape in the blue mist. Its shell was broken, but that didn't stop it from extending its pseudo-legs to flee from Zhao Xixiang.
But it was surrounded by kitchen helpers on all sides, and it didn't have much ability to resist on the shore. In no time, the kitchen helpers caught it and brought it back to the cooking station.
When the kitchen helpers arrived at the work station, they saw Zhao Xixiang and exclaimed in surprise, "Headmistress, your face..."
Zhao Xi wanted to squat down, look at her face in the mirror, and check her wounds.
On his fair face, a large wound ran from below his cheekbone all the way to his ear.
Fresh blood dripped down, leaving a large red stain on the collar.
She took the ointment out of her ring and applied a large amount in front of the mirror.
Green spiritual energy overflowed and swirled around the wound.
It should start healing soon.
She remained calm: "How many fish do we have left?"
"Only one golden shark and one serpent remain. That serpent is also a great demon."
"Manager Qian is really capable, managing to bring so many powerful demons." Zhao Xi used a water spirit talisman to wipe away the bloodstains on the ground, wrapped a scarf around her neck, and put on a bamboo hat. "Then let's continue. Remember to record this part using a magic weapon and have the Chongming Bird transport it to the Middle Immortal Realm."
"But your face..."
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a minor injury."
Most likely, the defensive array on the clam spirit was damaged, shattering the spirit mirror, and the fragments cut her face.
With so many miraculous elixirs in the immortal realm, and the ability to purify spiritual energy, she wasn't worried about leaving scars.
If you take more medicine when you get back, you should be able to recover completely.
She continued cooking, and there was some murmur below, but her attention was quickly drawn to the golden shark.
The golden shark was three zhang long and its whole body was golden. After being knocked unconscious, it lay on the cart and was also bound with the Immortal Binding Rope.
The shark opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth.
Isn't that a shark?
Zhao Xi cut off a piece of meat and tasted it. After confirming that the meat had a strong urea flavor, she told the kitchen helper to take it away: "This doesn't taste good, we can't make it. Take it away, store it, and send it back."
Sharks accumulate urea in their bodies, making all parts of their meat unpalatable.
This is mostly considered an impurity by immortal cultivators, no doubt about it, but plant spirits might like it.
"Hurry up and bring the sea bream."
Perhaps because she had spent half the day cleaning the fish, Zhao Xi felt a little tired and urged the kitchen helper to finish quickly.
The giant sea bream fairy was three zhang long and lay across the counter.
Zhao Xi, holding onto her straw hat, walked from one end to the other, confirmed the cut location, and then took out her knife.
My vision is a little blurry.
With one slash, I felt weak and my legs couldn't support my body, causing me to fall forward.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Alliance Leader?!"
The expected fall did not occur.
She bumped into a white figure, and when she lifted the bamboo hat, she saw that it was Lin Che.
"My goodness, who is this beautiful deity? Could she be the Water God?"
"Lord Water God!"
This was the first time Lin Che had revealed his true face to everyone. Even when teaching the children of the Hundred Beast Garden, he would wear a mask.
A few scales from the moth-like demon beast clung to his white robes, shimmering in the sunlight. If the color of one's clothing could reflect their level of spiritual energy, his current all-white attire was quite honest.
"Zhao Xixiang!" he shouted through gritted teeth, ignoring the calls of the crowd, removing her straw hat and scarf, and lowering his gaze to her face.
Zhao Xi saw the bloodstains on the scarf and reached out to touch her face.
My face has been burning since just now, but I was thinking about getting everyone together, so I didn't pay attention to it even though the food wasn't finished.
But the wound did not heal.
The newly wrapped scarf was now a deep crimson.
No wonder I'm so tired, it's because of excessive blood loss.
"Take her back quickly, her injuries are quite severe." The girl's light voice rang out from behind Lin Che.
Zhao Xi looked up and saw a white-haired girl behind Lin Che, whose clothes were almost the same color as his.
Zhao Xi wanted to open her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but then she hesitated and stopped.
Lin Che snorted softly, his face turning pale, seemingly angry that she didn't care about her own health. He took the opportunity to mock her, "Didn't you say you wouldn't talk to me anymore?"
Zhao Xi wanted to stop talking altogether.
He can't even stand steadily, let alone cook.
Zhao Xi wanted to be swept up in his arms, and as the wind rose, the two left the mountain.
*
Beneath the sacred spring.
Inside the Crystal Palace.
Zhao Xi felt dizzy from excessive blood loss.
Realizing that Lin Che had placed her on the scallop-shaped bed, she struggled to sit up.
But he suddenly grabbed her and pressed her down.
He knelt beside the bed, pressing her head down, his deep, magnetic voice tinged with anger: "Don't move!"
Something cold was pressed against the wound, but Zhao Xi couldn't see what it was from her perspective.
She could only see his face, so close to hers.
