Chapter 40 (1)



61

Du Heng wiped the sweat from his head with lingering fear: "That was a close call." He had witnessed the enthusiasm of the girls who were crazy about chasing stars. If Xuan Yu and Jing Nan had not been so skilled, he might still be stuck in the crowd and unable to escape.

Feng Gui sat on the chair with his legs crossed. He elegantly lifted his long hair and said, "Haha."

Du Heng glared at Feng Gui with his eyes narrowed: Haha, you big-headed ghost.

The group of people were on the second floor of Wan Workshop on East Street. Du Heng stretched his neck and looked down the long street. He saw that there were still girls on the long street who were still looking for Feng Gui: "Where is Lord Feng? Have you seen him?"

Feng Gui said arrogantly: "I am extremely handsome and charming. This is the result every time I show my face when I go out."

Du Heng felt a little angry. It was so annoying. Are they bullying him for never holding a girl's hand in his life?

At this moment, a light flashed in the room, and the boss of Wan Workshop appeared in the room, nodding and bowing: "Master Feng! Doctor Jing! Master Xuan! I didn't expect you three to come. Our shop is so honored!"

Du Heng felt that the boss's voice seemed to be trembling, and his legs seemed to be shaking.

Du Heng couldn't help but look at the sky outside the window. At this moment, a sentence appeared in his mind - when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

Feng Gui must be a famous monster in the monster world. Look, he didn't do anything, but even the people around him seemed to be under the halo. He seemed to have become one of the people under the halo. When he went out with the master, his treatment was much better.

Du Heng, who was sitting on a chair and drinking a cup of good tea, thought expressionlessly that if he came to Wan Workshop alone, even the people who greeted him would not even look at him straight in the eye. This was the difference.

Feng Gui was particularly domineering: "Who made the refrigerator that Xuan Yu ordered from you?"

The boss trembled and said, "Yes...it was made by Master Yan Hui."

Feng Gui knocked the teacup in his hand onto the tea table and said, "Let Yan come back to see us."

When the boss heard this, cold sweat started pouring down his forehead. He quickly called the waiter behind him, "Go and call Master Yan Hui up, tell him to stop worrying about his stove and come up quickly."

Du Heng held the teacup in his arms. He still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Feng Gui was selling in the gourd. But he had no right to speak here, so he just continued to drink his tea.

After a while, a thin young man who looked like a scholar came up from the second floor. He had two big dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept well. His face was frighteningly pale, and he looked shaky as if he would fall down at any time.

Du Heng was surprised. This person was actually the craftsman who made his refrigerator? It was incredible.

Feng Gui looked Yan Hui up and down. Yan Hui bowed to everyone but said nothing. The boss was trembling with fear: "Master Feng, are you... not satisfied with what our Master Yan Hui made?"

Feng Gui chuckled: "The refrigerator is well made, Du Heng is also very satisfied. Right, Du Heng?"

Du Heng was suddenly called out for being confused. After a while, he came to his senses and said, "Ah, yes, the refrigerator is made very well."

Just thinking about his food made his heart bleed again.

A faint blush appeared on Yan Hui's face, and he stammered, "I like it... that's good."

Yan Hui looked up at Du Heng, and the blush on his face deepened. Du Heng was a little puzzled, "I'm not your elder brother, you should just talk nicely, why are you blushing?"

Jing Nan said with a smile: "The design of the refrigerator is quite good. I heard from Xuan Yu that he told you the requirements and you figured it out by yourself? You are a talented person."

Yan Hui's face turned even redder: "Thank you... Thank you, Lord Jing..."

Xuan Yu didn't beat around the bush. He directly put forward his request: "Last night, the black beast opened the refrigerator and ruined the food inside. Can you think of a way to change the formation inside? If I do it, I'm afraid it will affect the use of the entire refrigerator."

Yan Hui's originally rosy face turned pale in an instant, and he stammered: "Black...black beast?"

Xuan Yu said: "I didn't explain it clearly before. Now I hope you can consider it and prevent the monster from opening the refrigerator."

As he spoke, Xuan Yu took out a door from his storage bag. The teacup in Du Heng's hand almost fell to the ground. He wanted to know what Xuan Yu and his friends had done during the time he climbed onto the ox cart? How did they even bring the refrigerator over?

Yan Hui opened the refrigerator and looked around. At this time, he looked up at Du Heng. The look in his eyes was so pitiful that Du Heng felt a little sorry for Yan Hui.

It was clearly him who didn't close the kitchen door properly when he went to bed last night, so why did a group of people come to Wan's workshop today as if they wanted to bully the weapon refiner?

Yan Hui walked around the refrigerator door for a few times, his face turning pale again. When Du Heng thought he was about to fall, he spoke haltingly: "It can...it can be changed. It just...it takes some time."

Xuan Yu said: "Time is not a problem, how many days do you need?"

Yan Hui glanced at Du Heng again, his cheeks reddening again: "Two hours..."

Xuan Yu said: "Then I'll give you two hours to change it. Don't be in a hurry. We'll come to get it in the afternoon. You can think about it slowly."

Yan Hui carried the refrigerator and before walking onto the teleportation array, he looked at Du Heng deeply again, then he gave Du Heng a shy smile.

Du Heng was puzzled by this smile: "Why is he smiling at me so strangely?"

Jing Nan looked at Xuan Yu teasingly, and he said gloatingly: "Of course it's because of our Du Hengheng's stunning beauty!"

Du Heng held the teacup and frowned: "Jingnan, is your eyes okay?"

Feng Gui, who was so beautiful, was still sitting here, and Jing Nan was actually playing a joke on him. Du Heng waved his fist at Jing Nan, beware that he would go back and stuff chili peppers into Jing Nan's rice bowl.

Feng Gui was very calm: "What's the big deal? As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe this Master Yan Hui has taken a fancy to our Du Heng. Xuanyu, am I right?"

Xuan Yu stared at Feng Gui and Jing Nan calmly, and the two of them quickly raised their hands in surrender: "Just kidding, just kidding."

In order to ease his embarrassment, Feng Gui cleared his throat and called the boss: "Boss, what good things does Wan Workshop have recently? Bring them over and let me see."

As expected of a rich man, Feng Gui never looks at the price when buying things!

After hearing this, the boss of Wan Workshop was immediately delighted: "Master Feng, please wait!"

The fat boss with a goatee immediately twisted his body to greet his waiters. After a while, the waiters came out of the teleportation array holding trays covered with red satin.

Feng Gui called Du Heng: "Du Heng, take a look and see if there is anything you like."

Du Heng pointed at himself: "Me?"

Feng Gui said: "Yes, you have been taking care of Xiaoxiao during this period. I am not as careful as Xuan Yu, nor as active as Jing Nan. There is nothing I can do to express my gratitude to you. If there is anything you like, please accept it. This is my gift, please don't refuse."

Feng Gui looked into Du Heng's eyes seriously while speaking, and Du Heng felt that he really wanted to thank him. He couldn't say no, no matter whether Feng Gui really wanted to thank him or just wanted to make him happy. He accepted this kindness.

Xuan Yu helped Du Heng lift the first red veil in front of him, and saw a gleaming dagger on the tray under the red silk veil. Speaking of daggers, Du Heng remembered the dagger that Yan Buhui threw to him when he first arrived in the cultivation world.

The dagger was called Broken Soul, and it was still in Du Heng's storage bag. Yan Buhui ascended quickly, and just when he threw the dagger to Yun Zhonghe and Du Heng to let them kill each other, he suddenly ascended. At that time, the sand and rocks were flying everywhere, and Du Heng was so confused that he didn't care about the dagger.

Yun Zhonghe was quick to take away Yan Buhui's dagger. After he and Du Heng separated, he gave the dagger to Du Heng for self-defense.

Now seeing this dagger that was glowing with spiritual light, Du Heng was reminded of the pitch-black dagger in his storage bag that had no spiritual light.

Thinking of the dagger, Du Heng took it out of the storage bag: "Come to think of it, I have a dagger like this. Xuanyu, can you give it a scabbard?"

The dagger in Du Heng's hand really had no scabbard, and the blade was also foggy. But this was indeed a good knife that could cut iron like mud. When Du Heng went to steal the leaves of the dragon-building grass from Jing Nan without telling him, he used the dagger to cut them.

Seeing this dagger, Feng Gui raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this...Soul-breaking?"

Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Hey? Feng Gui, do you recognize this dagger?"

Feng Gui walked up to Du Heng, and he picked up the dagger and turned it twice: "Yes, it's the Broken Soul. How come it's here with you?"

Du Heng said, "There is a demon in the world of cultivation, his name is Yan Buhui. He wanted me and my fellow disciples to kill each other, so he threw this dagger to us. Later, we escaped, and I have been carrying the dagger with me ever since."

Feng Gui seemed to be thinking about something. He asked Jing Nan, "Old Nan, do you know Yan Buhui?"

Jing Nan was drinking tea. When he heard Feng Gui calling him that, he protested, "Be careful or I'll beat you up. Who is Lao Nan? Yan Buhui? The name sounds familiar. Is he one of Chonghua's subordinates?"

Chonghua? Who is this? A new person appeared that Du Heng didn't recognize.

Feng Gui held the blade and returned the dagger to Du Heng. He said, "This dagger originally belonged to one of my subordinates. Now that it is in your hands, you can keep it."

The boss said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Mr. Du. Our shop has a wide variety of custom-made knives at affordable prices. How about I take you to choose a scabbard now?"

Xuan Yu said: "You don't need anything too fancy. Just make the scabbard out of Taiyin stone, black stone and red gilt."

Xuan Yu held the blade and handed the handle to the boss. He said seriously, "Tell the craftsman to be careful when making it. Getting your skin cut by a dagger is no joke."

The boss quickly caught the dagger with a tray and said, "Master Xuan, rest assured that our shop will make a satisfactory scabbard for you."

Xuan Yu lifted up the second piece of red silk and saw a gorgeous jade pendant underneath the red silk.

Xuan Yu said: "This is a simple cave, better than the one you had before. Do you like this?"

Du Heng couldn't help but touch his storage bag. He also had a simple cave dwelling.

Du Heng smiled and said, "No need, the cave my fellow disciple gave me can still be used."

Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to Du Heng: "In that case, then give me that cave."

Du Heng took out the jade with suspicion. To be honest, the cave with the small bamboo house looked pretty good at first glance. But compared with the gorgeous jade pendant in front of him, it seemed a little inferior.

Xuan Yu placed the jade pendant next to the Soul-Severing Dagger: "Is it possible to renovate this cave?"

The boss nodded and said, "What can be changed can be changed!"

Xuan Yu said, "Then we will transform it according to the safest cave in Wan Workshop. Don't worry about the time. Feng Gui will be responsible for the cost of spiritual stones."

Feng Gui was drinking tea calmly, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, okay, our shop will definitely build the best portable cave for Mr. Du. After it is built, it will be sent to your cave together with the Soul-breaking Dagger. What do you think, Master Xuan?"

Xuan Yu nodded slowly: "Okay."

Just when Xuan Yu was about to lift up the third piece of red silk, Du Heng held Xuan Yu's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't look at it anymore."

He lifted up the two pieces of red silk, scabbarded the sword and changed the cave. If you look further, you don't know what will happen. One should not be so greedy.

Du Heng said uncomfortably, "It's enough. I live in the village and have no worries about food and drink. There's nothing I need to buy. Besides, if I need anything, I can come back next time."

Xuan Yu thought about it and said, "Well... that's fine."

62

Jing Nan stood up with a smile: "Then let's go to Yunyan Tower for dinner? It's noon, this meal is on me."

Du Heng looked at Jing Nan in surprise: "Jing Nan, are you treating me?"

Jing Nan glared at Du Heng: "What are you looking at? Who are you looking down on? Do you think I am such a stingy person?"

Du Heng waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I just think that this meal should be paid for by me."

After he came to Yikeshu Village, he received a lot of care from the villagers. Although he encountered some unhappy things today, everyone put down their work and accompanied him shopping to cheer him up. He felt that he had to repay this friendship no matter what.

Xiaoxiao chirped a few times, but Du Heng didn't understand what Xiaoxiao meant. However, Feng Gui and the others burst out laughing.

Du Heng was puzzled: "Hey? What are you laughing at?"

Xuan Yu held back his laughter and said gently, "Nothing, Xiaoxiao just said that all the spirit stones you have combined can't buy a single dish in Yunyan Tower."

Du Heng's old face turned red; his embarrassment was actually exposed by Xiaoxiao.

Du Heng picked up Xiaoxiao and rubbed him hard a few times: "I'll let you laugh at me, I'll let you laugh at me."

Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes and said that he really liked Du Heng's rubbing. He asked her to keep the strength and not stop.

Yunyanlou is the best restaurant in Lingxi Town, standing in the west of the city. Du Heng and his friends need to go through a long street to walk from the east to the west of the city. The streets in Lingxi Town are easy to remember, straight and horizontal, and it only takes two incense sticks to walk from the east to the west.

When Du Heng and his friends went out, they walked. Feng Gui put on a big hat like the ones used by knights, with a light veil hanging around the brim. Although Du Heng thought that this was just an attempt to cover up something, the result was beyond Du Heng's expectation. No mother-in-law or aunt came to harass Feng Gui.

The four of them finally walked quietly for a while. Of course, there were people along the way who looked at the group curiously, but they just glanced at them quickly and then looked away.

Du Heng quickly understood why the passerby reacted like this. He heard Jing Nan laugh: "Hey, look, you still dare to look. I'll let you have a good look."

Du Heng saw a flash of inspiration in Jing Nan's hand, and then a scream came from the shop in front: "Ah - my eyes!!"

Jing Nan sneered: "Your cultivation is not good enough, so you learn to peek from other masters. I will let you peek."

Du Heng now realized that when he first met Jing Nan, he saw him as a gentleman, it was really an illusion. This guy is actually very petty and likes to hold grudges.

Xuan Yu said to Jing Nan, "That's enough. They are just curious."

Jing Nan said calmly: "I have already held back, otherwise do you think they can escape unscathed?"

There were many shops on the long street, most of which sold elixirs and spiritual plants, and there were also some shops that sold equipment. There were also some demon cultivators who casually spread out some cloth in the corner, on which were several open storage bags, revealing some stone bones or seeds that Du Heng had never seen before.

The streets were quite busy. However, Du Heng did not have much desire to shop at this time. He usually waited and saw what he did not know or was not familiar with, so as to avoid making mistakes.

Soon they arrived at the entrance of the legendary Yunyan Tower, which was indeed the number one restaurant in Lingxi Town. Yunyan Tower was actually four stories high, and the gate was even more magnificent than Feng Gui's palace.

There were customers coming and going at the entrance of Yunyan Tower, and waiters with big white towels on their shoulders were soliciting customers at the entrance. When they saw Xuan Yu and his party, the waiter immediately shouted, "Doctor Jing, you are here! Please come in!"

Du Heng looked at Jing Nan: "It seems that you often come here to eat. Look, the waiter knows you." Jing Nan laughed and said, "Yes, yes."

Feng Gui said coldly: "Isn't it still put on my account?"

Jing Nan was very calm: "Who told you to stay away from home all year round? You know the cooking skills of Xuan Yu and I. What else can I do except bringing Xiaoxiao to Yunyan Tower to eat meat? If you have any objections, bring Xiaoxiao yourself next time."

When Feng Gui heard Xiaoxiao's name, he immediately became timid: "Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Xiaoxiao flapped his wings and laughed, as if he was mocking his uncle.

Jing Nan is really a frequent visitor. After he entered the room, he did not look around and walked straight to the stairs on the left side of the hall: "It's still the old room."

The second brother nodded and bowed: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. Today we have Xiao Fengjun's favorite crabs from the sea. They are big and fat. Do you want one for you?"

Feng Gui said domineeringly: "How can one be enough? Give me five."

After hearing what Feng Gui said, the waiter looked at Feng Gui in surprise. His eyes widened as if he remembered something: "Feng..."

Feng Gui said, "Old room, don't let anyone disturb us."

The waiter bent his waist even deeper: "Okay~"

As he walked towards the stairs, Du Heng turned around and looked at the lobby. He saw hundreds of tables in the lobby, each of which was filled with demon cultivators. The lobby was packed with waiters coming and going with trays filled with dishes, and it looked very lively.

Du Heng couldn't help but sigh: "It's so lively..."

The Du family also has a private restaurant, but it is not very big. It is located in the town and uses the three-story building of his family as the venue. There are only more than 20 private rooms in it, and these rooms are not always full.

Whenever he had a holiday, Du Heng would go home to help his parents. The family hired two aunties to serve the dishes, and Du Heng often served the dishes and cleaned the room. Seeing this, he began to miss home again.

But this is not home after all, and he has not smelled the familiar aroma of food yet. The formation in Yunyan Tower is quite useful, and Du Heng did not smell any strange smell when he stood on the stairs.

Xuan Yu was still holding the umbrella. Du Heng asked, "We've already entered the restaurant, why are you still holding the umbrella?"

Xuan Yu said calmly: "I am doing this for their own good."

Du Heng was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He followed Jing Nan and the others upstairs, thinking that they would be done when they reached the second floor. However, Jing Nan and the others went straight to the fourth floor before stopping.

After climbing to the fourth floor, Du Heng didn't see any guests going up or down the stairs, as if there were only five of them on the stairs.

He told Xuan Yu about his doubts, and Xuan Yu explained: "This is a formation, so that the guests coming and going will only see their own group. Yunyan Tower is a place where demon cultivators gather, and it is inevitable that some demon cultivators will have conflicts. In order to prevent them from recognizing each other when walking, there are many formations in Yunyan Tower."

So that's how it is. Du Heng thought this was a good formation. He remembered that something like this happened in his family's private restaurant. Two tables of people started fighting while eating, and finally smashed the tables and bowls. In the end, both groups were taken away by the police. However, the loss of the family had to be borne by Dad Du. His parents were in a bad mood for several days.

The first floor of Yunyan Building is mainly for dining, and guests leave after eating. There are private rooms on the second and third floors, where guests who need to discuss or have a small gathering can sit down and rest. However, the private rooms on the second floor are smaller than those on the third floor.

When he reached the fourth floor, Du Heng almost thought his eyes were blurry. A paradise appeared before his eyes, with large tracts of peach blossoms, and pavilions and towers not far away among the peach blossoms.

Xiaoxiao was familiar with the place. He walked along the path under the peach trees, turning back to look at Du Heng as he walked.

Du Heng was shocked by the surrounding scenery: "Are these... all real?"

Xuan Yu put away his umbrella at this time. He said, "Yes, every blade of grass and every tree here is real."

Feng Gui continued, "This is nothing. Any wood spirit root cultivator above the Golden Core stage can do it."

Jing Nan added: "Du Heng, you have to believe that sooner or later, you will become a big shot with wood spiritual roots. You should practice hard after the New Year. I have even found a method for you."

Du Heng: ...It was just a meal, but he actually felt like he was before the college entrance examination. Is this an illusion?

After walking along the peach forest for a while, they saw an ancient pavilion with a round table in it and a table of dishes on it. When he stood in the pavilion, he found that the most tempting thing was not the food on the table, but the beautiful scenery on the fourth floor that could be seen from every corner of the pavilion.

They were clearly on the fourth floor, but it felt like they were on the top of a mountain. The streets of Lingxi Town outside the peach forest were in full view, and the mountains in the distance were rolling. Du Heng felt like he was standing at the center of the world, and a sense of heroism arose deep in his heart.

Xuan Yu saw Du Heng was obsessed with the peach forest, so he said: "If you like, I will bring you here often in the future."

Du Heng suddenly came back to his senses: "Eh? No, no, I'm just a little curious since it's my first time seeing such a sight."

There was a circle of cold dishes on the table. Du Heng looked over and saw all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. However, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that he didn't smell any fragrance at all.

Jing Nan greeted everyone: "Don't be polite, we are all family. Du Heng, try our demon cultivators' dishes and see if they suit your taste."

Jing Nan enthusiastically picked up a chicken leg and put it in Du Heng's bowl. He kindly said, "Eat more! You're welcome."

Usually, Xiaoxiao would be the first to lose control when seeing a table full of food. But today, Xiaoxiao squatted on the chair obediently, looking particularly reserved.

Seeing Jing Nan's enthusiasm, Du Heng took a bite of the chicken leg. After just one bite, Du Heng's eyebrows wrinkled. How should he describe this taste? Du Heng had eaten cold chicken before. Saliva Chicken, Salt-baked Chicken, and Bobo Chicken can all be eaten cold.

For example, the mouth-watering chicken has tender meat, and the chicken is sweet and fresh after being paired with the sauce, which complements the sauce and makes people drool. Another example is the Bobo chicken, which is dipped in red oil. It is delicious and appetizing. The more you eat, the more you want to eat.

The chicken in front of me was very tender and tender, and it was obvious that it was from a young chicken. But what was the smell that couldn't be dispelled after taking a bite? Even if Du Heng boiled it directly in salt water, it shouldn't taste like this, right? Could it be that... the chickens in the cultivation world are not ordinary?

However, Du Heng quickly overturned his idea. The first ingredient he got after arriving in the cultivation world was the Brahma Chicken. Although the Brahma Chicken was a little bigger, it was still a chicken in essence.

Du Heng silently put down the chicken leg, picked up a piece of roast duck and tasted it, and tasted the smell of duck again. Du Heng almost vomited.

Jing Nan and the others had picked up their chopsticks with great interest, but they put them down after taking a bite, especially Xiaoxiao, who tilted her head and spit out the piece of fish she had just eaten onto the ground.

Jing Nan was also puzzled: "This is strange. Did Yunyanlou change its chef? Why do the dishes today taste wrong?"

63

Feng Gui looked at Du Heng and said, "I think Yunyanlou didn't change its chef, but our taste has changed. Think about it, Xiaoxiao."

Du Heng was a little puzzled. What did Xiaoxiao do?

Xuan Yu explained, "Before you came to the village, Xiaoxiao was very picky about food. In order to get him to eat more, Feng Gui and Jing Nan would often ask the chef from Yunyan Tower to go outside the village to cook for Xiaoxiao."

However, Xiaoxiao did not give them face and sometimes even spit on those chefs, causing several chefs from Yunyanlou to be angered and leave.

Xiaoxiao has been on the blacklist in Yunyanlou for a long time. If Feng Gui wasn't rich, he would have been driven out by the chefs when he came to Yunyanlou.

Du Heng was so upset that he looked at Xiaoxiao who was combing her feathers. This... was a little different from the Xiaoxiao he knew...

Jing Nan clapped his hands: "Waiter."

The waiter appeared, nodding and bowing: "Master Jing, what do you want?"

Jing Nan pointed at the cold dishes on the table with disdain: "Take them all away and switch to hot dishes."

The waiter nodded awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I'll serve you the hot dishes right away."

When the dishes were being removed, a tall, middle-aged man with a beautiful beard appeared in the pavilion.

The man saluted to Jing Nan and the others: "Lord Jing, Lord Feng, Lord Xuan, Little Feng Jun, but today's food is not to your taste? Why did you take it away?"

Xiaoxiao turned his head and stared at the Zhongnan man, then he turned his head and spat on the ground: "Pooh."

The man's face was covered in sweat: "Xiao Fengjun, this, this..."

Jing Nan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that everyone's taste has become more sophisticated recently, it has nothing to do with Yunyan Tower. By the way, it's time to serve the hot dishes."

The man saluted awkwardly: "Yes."

Seeing that the man was about to turn around, Feng Gui called him and said, "By the way, does Yunyan Tower have any fresh ingredients recently? We will take some away later."

The man smiled as soon as he heard it: "Yes, yes, there are crabs and shrimps caught from the East China Sea, and fresh fish. May I ask Mr. Feng, these..."

Feng Gui nodded: "I want both. Also, can you please serve the crabs we ordered quickly?"

The man smiled happily, bowed and walked out.

Du Heng asked, "Is that man the boss of Yunyan Tower?" Jing Nan said, "Yes."

Du Heng sighed, "It's not easy to be a boss these days. When customers return goods, they always come up to ask why."

Du Heng thought of his father Du. If his family’s signature dish was left on the table by a customer, his father Du would also ask the same question timidly.

Jing Nan and his friends also understood this, so in order not to offend the boss, they used very subtle words. The boss could sell some fresh fish and shrimp, which was also a bit of extra profit.

However, Du Heng quickly remembered something: "Will the dishes that were removed also be recorded in Feng Gui's account?"

Jing Nan looked at Feng Gui: "I don't know, Feng Gui, what do you think?" Feng Gui said indifferently: "I don't know, I have never withdrawn before."

Du Heng tilted his head slightly and muttered, "I could eat it before, why can't I eat it now?"

Xiaoxiao laughed twice in Du Heng's direction. Du Heng looked at Xiaoxiao suspiciously: "Xiaoxiao looks very happy, what's wrong?"

A flash of light suddenly appeared outside the pavilion, and the waiters appeared on the path carrying a huge steamer.

Du Heng looked at the steamer and asked in surprise, "Did we order hot dishes?"

Xiaoxiao flapped her wings and jumped on the stool. Jingnan smiled and said, "It should be the crab that Xiaoxiao likes the most."

As they were talking, the waiters carried the steamer and placed it in the middle of the table. One steamer took up the entire tabletop!

The waiter opened the lid of the steamer, and a burst of hot steam spread out, and the fresh aroma of seafood came to his face. After the steam dispersed, Du Heng saw a huge crab in the steamer!

This is the largest crab Du Heng has ever seen. Du Heng cannot estimate how big this crab is. He only knows that the front end of the crab's smallest leg is thicker than his arm!

The crab looked covered with barbs, somewhat like the king crab Du Heng had seen before, but the legs of this crab were not as long as those of the king crab, and its body was much rounder than that of the king crab.

Because it has been steamed, the crab has a beautiful orange-red color. Its back cover is stretched open by the crab roe inside, revealing the plump roe and meat.

Du Heng felt that they didn't need to eat anything else, just this crab would make them full.

Feng Gui called Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu, you are familiar with things in the sea. What kind of crab is this? Can you introduce it to Du Heng?"

Xuan Yu stood up and an idea flashed in his hand. He took off the largest crab claw. This crab claw was as big as Du Heng's head, not to mention that there was a long piece of meat behind the crab's claws.

Xuan Yu gently exerted force in his hands, and the crab claws made cracking sounds. Xuan Yu grabbed the movable half of the crab claws and pulled out a huge piece of meat.

Unlike the domineering color of the crab shell, the meat is unusually white and tender. The crab meat looks silky and has a soft texture like top-grade white jade, which looks delicious.

He placed the crab claws on the plate in front of Du Heng. "This is an ordinary spider crab from the sea. It doesn't have much spiritual power, but it is big and has rich meat. The spider crabs of this season have rich meat and plenty of roe, so there are more monks catching crabs."

Du Heng felt a little embarrassed. It was such a big crab, and Xuan Yu immediately gave him a big claw.

Du Heng felt flattered: "Is this for me?"

Xuan Yu nodded: "Try it."

Jing Nan and the others laughed and said, "We often eat this kind of crab. You probably haven't eaten it before. Try it and see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, we'll bring some back when we go back."

Du Heng used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. It is called a piece of meat because the crab is very large, and this piece of meat is a big mouthful. The crab meat is sweet and delicious even without any seasoning. The warm crab meat is firm and elastic in the mouth, and Du Heng can't help but give a thumbs up: "It's delicious!"

Jing Nan laughed heartily: "I knew you would like this. This is the crab that Xiaoxiao must order at their house. Xiaoxiao can eat three every time!"

As they were talking, Feng Gui and the others had already taken a crab leg and placed it on the plate in front of them. They gently opened the crab shell and then shook the tender white crab meat into the plate. Jing Nan would pour some vinegar on the crab meat, while Feng Gui would press the crab meat into the chili oil.

Compared to the two men's elegant eating manners, Xiaoxiao was much more heroic. Xiaoxiao stood on the edge of the steamer. His chicken was not even as long as a crab's leg. Xiaoxiao hugged the middle leg of the crab with his wings and put one foot on the crab shell.

With a snapping sound, Xiaoxiao actually pulled the leg off the crab. The crab leg brought out a lot of tender white crab meat, and Xiaoxiao took a bite of the meat, and he ate up all the white meat in just a few bites.

Just when Du Heng thought Xiaoxiao couldn't open the crab shell and asked Jingnan and the others for help, Xiaoxiao made a surprising move. He held the crab leg horizontally, and then opened and closed his yellow mouth on the crab leg shell.

As mentioned before, Xiaoxiao is a chicken as big as a washbasin. His mouth is not small. He can hold a fried wonton as big as a fist in one bite. Xiaoxiao can also hold half of the cross-section of a crab leg in one bite.

There was a sound of crunching, and the shells of the crab legs that Xiaoxiao had held in his mouth broke into pieces. After a while, Xiaoxiao pulled out a long piece of crab meat from the broken crab shell. He opened his mouth and ate the crab meat in big mouthfuls, humming a song while he was enjoying it.

Du Heng was almost stunned. Xiaoxiao... was she so fierce?

At this time, a hand reached out from the side and lifted Xiaoxiao out of the steamer. Du Heng took a look and found that it was Xuan Yu.

Xuan Yu said calmly: "I'm going to open the crab shell."

Xiaoxiao consciously dragged the crab legs, which were longer than his, and sat on the chair, but his eyes were fixed on Xuanyu. Xuanyu turned the back of the crab in the steamer to face himself, and the spiritual light in his hand flashed slightly, and the crab shell in the steamer made a crackling sound, and then completely separated from the body.

Xuan Yu smiled slightly: "Before... I ate too much."

Feng Gui slowly cracked the crab legs in front of him. He smiled and said, "Xuan Yu used to live by the sea. He ate too many shrimps and crabs in the sea. Don't try to persuade him. Eat them quickly. There are four more over there."

Du Heng was stunned: "There are still four?"

Oh, he remembered that Feng Gui had said five when he went up the stairs. Five of these big ones? I'm afraid they won't be able to finish them and will have to pack them up, right? But he looked at Xiao Xiao, who was said to be
