"Ten more roast suckling pigs!"
"The hot pot soup is almost dry, hurry up, add another pot."
"Hmm, what is this? Cake? It smells so good, so soft, and so sweet! I want more!"
…
On the Peony, in the exclusive private room on the fifth floor that originally belonged to Mo Qian, Shao Qing, Shao Jiu, and the three-headed snake monster A'dai, whose form had shrunk dozens of times, were feasting around a large round table.
There is a hot pot in the middle, surrounded by various ingredients and cooked food. One table cannot accommodate all the food, so two additional tables are set aside to place the various foods.
The two sharks and one snake ate very quickly, devouring the food in a flash. Xue Huan couldn't even serve the dishes fast enough to keep up with their eating speed.
But she didn't complain at all, instead she was happy to see them like this.
The happier they were eating, the more likely they were to agree to the deal she proposed.
When she proposed the deal, Shao Qing did not agree directly. Instead, he said, "I have to try it first. If we are satisfied, I will consider it."
You are the boss, you have the final say.
What else could Xue Huan do? Would she overestimate her own abilities and go up to her and fight her head-on?
So next, the few of them moved to the most luxurious and spacious private room on the entire ship.
Xue Huan was responsible for serving the food, while Shao Qing and the others were responsible for eating.
At first, the two mermaids were still very reserved, but when the aroma of the hot pot came out, how could they sit still?
As soon as the soup base boiled and the ingredients began to simmer inside, they immediately joined the queue to grab the food.
Seeing them using their chopsticks to create afterimages, Xue Huan felt a surge of pride in her heart. The hot pot of our Great China family is so irresistible!
In addition to hot pot, she also brought out several of her signature dishes.
At this moment, she was glad that she had the habit of storing food.
——It’s called a habit, but in fact it’s just laziness.
Although she likes cooking, she doesn't like to sit around the stove all day, so she doesn't cook very often. Every time she cooks, she will deliberately make more, especially those dishes that take a long time to make.
For example, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, roast suckling pig, big ribs, braised shark fin, etc.
Anyway, there is a warehouse, so you can divide it into several portions and store it. The next time you take it out, it will taste the same as when it was first made!
At this moment, those ready-made dishes came in handy, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to satisfy the appetites of these people.
Not to mention the snake monster A-Dai, even the two "fish" Shao Qing and Shao Jiu have an alarming appetite.
In the end, the hot pot soup base dried up and they added more, and dried up again. They kept eating until the early morning, and only stopped with a burp.
Xue Huan was so tired that her arms were sore.
But she still had the fortitude to make them some tea to relieve their greasiness after dinner, and of course she used the spiritual tea.
Shao Qing noticed it as soon as he shouted.
Xue Huan's expression darkened.
This little human girl is truly extraordinary. She can actually produce so many spiritual foods and teas that are rich in spiritual energy.
She put down the teacup and deliberately used some force, causing the teacup to collide with the table with a crisp sound, and an invisible pressure spread out.
"You're only at the Qi Refining stage, yet you can actually produce so much spiritual food. Aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you and force you to tell me the source of the spiritual food?"
Xue Huan knew that she must not be cowardly or show any weakness at this moment, otherwise she would really be at a disadvantage and be controlled by her.
"Senior, I believe you won't." As she spoke, she released a breath of mermaid's breath.
This aura came from the mermaid pearl that Chen Yuan gave her.
There is also hierarchical suppression within the mermaid tribe. People like Shao Qing, who are born with golden fish tails, are the royal family of the mermaid tribe, while Chen Yuan is the emperor of the mermaid tribe and can absolutely suppress Shao Qing!
The mermaid pearl he gave her was condensed from his soul power. After Xue Huan refined it, she naturally carried a hint of the aura of the mermaid king.
The moment it was revealed, Shao Qing's aura weakened, and the pressure that was originally exerted on Xue Huan also dissipated unconsciously.
"you--"
Shao Qing was greatly surprised. She looked at Xue Huan carefully again and found that she was indeed a real human being, not a mermaid. Then where did the aura of the Mermaid King come from on her?
"What's with that aura you have?"
Xue Huan said ambiguously, "I have a master who is a mermaid. He was afraid that I would get into danger outside, so he left a trace of my aura on me. If anything happened to me, he would be able to detect it immediately."
This means that I have a backer, so if you want to do something bad to me, you'd better think carefully.
Shao Qing suddenly laughed, "Little girl, you might be able to fool others with this, but you can't fool me. We, the mermaids, have been living in seclusion for a long time, not setting foot in the human world for hundreds of years. How could anyone in our tribe accept you as their apprentice?"
Xue Huan was not insecure, because she was not talking about the mermaid from this world, but the one from the Soul Realm.
But she did not refute, just smiled calmly and confidently.
Shao Qing was actually made uneasy by her laughter and muttered, could it be that an elder in the clan really sneaked into the human world and took in a little human apprentice?
She'll have to check it out when she gets back.
Shao Qing stood up and grabbed Shao Jiu and Ah Dai, who were still eating and unwilling to leave the table, and picked them up with one hand each. "I am very satisfied with this meal. For the sake of these delicious foods, I will let those people go for now. But if there is a next time... Haha, then, even if you bring out more delicious food to tempt me, I will not compromise."
It seems that those people's lives were saved.
Xue Huan bowed deeply to her and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Senior."
He handed over a storage bag and said, "I put some food in it. If you don't mind, you can take it back."
Shaojiu immediately took it on behalf of his mother, "Don't mind, don't mind!"
Before leaving, he turned his back to Shao Qing and silently gestured to Xue Huan: "I'll find a chance to come and play with you."
Unfortunately, his little trick could not be hidden from Shao Qing. "Jiu'er, you still want to sneak to the shore? Huh? Haven't you learned enough lessons this time?"
Shao Jiu shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak, but he thought to himself: Although there are many bad things in the human world, there are also many fun and delicious things!
This time he hasn’t had enough!
On the deck, Xue Huan watched Shao Qing and Shao Jiu disappear on the sea on A'dai, who had recovered his original form. She slowly let out a breath, finally sending these three big Buddhas away.
After a while, the Peony, which had been as silent as a grave, finally began to move again.
The people who survived the disaster couldn't help but talk about the mermaid and basilisk that suddenly appeared.
But they were afraid that the basilisk would come back, so they didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly got off the boat and went home.
The steward and others who had survived knew that it was Xue Huan who saved them, and they all came forward to express their gratitude.
Xue Huan: "If you really want to thank me, then give me something tangible, not just verbal gratitude."
Because of these people, she lost a mountain of spiritual food.
Admittedly, she didn't save them for their gratitude, but since they wanted to thank her, she decided to do something practical.
At least it gave her some psychological comfort.
The steward and others were stunned. They didn't expect her to be so straightforward, but she did save their lives, so a thank-you gift was a must!
