Chapter 47 Seafood Pot
After Lin Xiyue completely absorbed the energy from the three third-level crystal cores, her dual-element abilities finally broke through to level six! This was an exciting moment, and Lin Xiyue couldn't wait to try out her newfound power.
She took a deep breath, then concentrated her energy, simultaneously mobilizing her ice and lightning abilities. A thick layer of ice crystals quickly formed on the palm of her left hand. These crystals were much larger than those she had released before, shimmering and translucent, emitting a hint of chill.
At the same time, a thick bolt of lightning burst out from the palm of her right hand. This bolt of lightning was thicker than the previous ones, flashing with dazzling light, as if it contained endless power.
Lin Xiyue felt the energy filling her body, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart. She clenched the two powers in her hands, feeling them intertwined and fused in her hands. This was the feeling of being strong. It was really great!
After a while, Lin Xiyue slowly withdrew her supernatural power and stood up. Her body felt more relaxed than before, a bit like she had been reborn. This was obviously the effect of her recent upgrade to level six supernatural power. Her face was filled with a satisfied smile.
Lin Xiyue stretched her muscles, making a crackling sound, as if all the joints in her body had been reawakened. She felt relaxed and happy, a happy smile on her face, and walked out of the room with light steps.
As soon as she stepped outside, Lin Xiyue's eyes were drawn to the scene in the living room. She saw that everyone had already absorbed the energy from the crystal cores and were sitting around on the fabric-covered sofa in the living room, chatting and laughing as they waited for her.
"Xiyue, come over and eat the seafood hotpot. We've been waiting for you!" Ji Yuan waved and shouted to Lin Xiyue enthusiastically, with a hint of eagerness in his voice.
"Okay!" Lin Xiyue responded with a smile, then quickened his pace and walked straight towards Gu Qinghan.
"Boss, here are your chopsticks." Du Luoqing was quick to pick up a pair of chopsticks from the table and handed them to Lin Xiyue.
This seafood stew was the fruit of Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan's labor today, and also their trophy. The round iron pot was filled to the brim with a variety of brightly colored seafood, including three-level octopus meat, scallops, mantis shrimp, lobster, abalone, jellyfish, and so on. The variety was so dazzling that it made people salivate.
The seafood in the pot had already been stewed until soft and tender, and now it had simply been transferred to a smaller iron pot. A gas stove was placed at the bottom of the pot, and the small blue flame was dancing happily, as if playing a delicious symphony for the pot of seafood.
Lin Xiyue hadn't originally held high hopes for these mutated sea beasts and seafood. After all, their mutations might have made them taste unpleasant. As long as they could fill her stomach, that was good enough for her.
However, when she smelled the rich, fresh aroma emanating from the pot, a sense of anticipation welled up in her heart. The smell was so tempting that she couldn't help but want to try it.
Lin Xiyue hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to give it a try. She casually picked up a piece of Level 3 sea beast meat with her chopsticks and slowly chewed it. At first, she didn't hold out much hope, but as she chewed more and more, the delicious flavor of the sea beast meat gradually spread throughout her mouth.
"Hmm..." Lin Xiyue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This sea beast tastes really good!" Her eyes gradually lit up, and she seemed to have a new understanding of this pot of seafood.
"Wife, I think this should be level three sea beast meat." Lin Xiyue said excitedly to Gu Qinghan, "I didn't expect it to be so delicious after being cooked! Come and try it too."
As he spoke, Lin Xiyue picked up another piece of sea beast meat, carefully held it with his chopsticks, and brought it to Gu Qinghan's lips, saying in a flattering manner: "Ah... Wife, open your mouth."
At this moment, Gu Qinghan, clutching a knife, was expertly peeling a massive lobster weighing a pound. The lobster's shell was hard and smooth, yet Gu Qinghan's movements were exceptionally skillful. She delicately peeled the shell, revealing the tender meat within.
When Lin Xiyue passed a piece of sea beast meat to Gu Qinghan's mouth, she opened her mouth without hesitation and let out a "ah..." She quickly bit into the piece of sea beast meat and swallowed it, chewing it carefully. The sea beast meat had a very soft texture and only needed a few chews before it could be swallowed easily.
"This sea beast meat is truly delicious!" Gu Qinghan exclaimed contentedly. "It seems the food problem on the island base has been solved. If we run out of food, we should be able to find plenty of this delicacy by fishing in the sea."
"Well, if that's the case, the island base has solved a problem, and your sister can feel more at ease." Lin Xiyue took over the conversation while eating.
After a while, Gu Qinghan put the lobster he had peeled into Lin Xiyue's bowl and said with a smile, "Well, I hope so! Xiyue, this lobster looks great too. Try it."
Lin Xiyue looked at the large lobster in the bowl in amazement, weighing a pound. She was dumbfounded. This lobster was really huge, much bigger than any other she had seen before.
"Wife, this lobster is so big, let's eat it together." Lin Xiyue said quickly.
Lin Xiyue then took the knife from Gu Qinghan and carefully cut the one-pound lobster into dozens of pieces. She carefully dipped each piece of lobster meat in soy sauce and then brought it to Gu Qinghan's mouth. Gu Qinghan, like before, naturally opened his mouth and took the lobster meat that Lin Xiyue handed him.
Gu Qinghan smiled and imitated Lin Xiyue's movements, gently picking up a piece of delicious seafood and carefully placing it in Lin Xiyue's bowl. Seeing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and also gently picked up a piece of seafood and placed it in Gu Qinghan's bowl.
The two of them kept feeding each other openly, as if the whole world belonged to only the two of them. Their actions, though simple, were filled with sweetness and love, making people envious.
Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were also busy. Ji Yuan took a bite of the sea beast meat and his eyes lit up immediately. He said quickly, "Hmm, this sea beast meat tastes really good! Xiaoluo, you should eat more too." As he said that, he picked up several more pieces of sea beast meat and put them into Du Luoqing's bowl.
Du Luoqing looked at the sea beast meat in the bowl and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and responded, "Okay, Xiaoyu. But you should also try this sea crab. I just ate one. The roe is so fresh and sweet." After that, she carefully peeled off the shell of a sea crab and put it into Ji Yuan's bowl.
It took them two hours to finish such a big pot of seafood stew. Maybe they consumed a lot of crystal cores, so they had a strong demand for food.
