Of course, the strange fish kept flapping its tail and spitting out ice arrows, but having lost the initiative, it was still being suppressed by Xiu Qiyu.
"Alright, alright, young man, don't get so worked up. Look, if you kill him, what will we eat for lunch today?"
"Can we eat this strange fish?" It is brightly colored, huge, and ferocious.
“Of course, little girl, although the Snow Mountain Cold Fish is delicious, it’s rare and hard to come by. Each one is only the size of a palm. This one is different. You can make countless flavors from one fish, and you can even put on a whole fish feast,” Han Tianxin said in a serious tone.
Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded her little head repeatedly, clearly agreeing with the sect leader's point of view: "The sect leader is absolutely right. The Snow Mountain Cold Fish is only this big. It will die soon after it comes out of the water. After eating a couple of bites, you can only slowly reminisce. What an ordeal that is."
"The Snow Mountain Cold Fish is a rare species of heaven and earth. Eating it is very beneficial to the body and can even improve one's aptitude. Its taste is also rare in the world. Being able to eat it once is already a great stroke of luck. Don't ask for too much."
"Master, don't be too upset. I'll catch two for you next time I go to the snow mountain."
"Really?" Han Tianxin stroked his all-white beard and said with deep emotion.
“Of course it’s true. I know where they are. The people of Mount Saint are tired of eating them.”
Han Tianxin glanced up at Xiu Qiyu: "Look, this is what a good disciple should be like. Unlike you, ╭(╯^╰)╮ once you go out, you never come back."
The fish was beaten so badly by Xiu Qiyu that it was barely alive. Finally, it gave in, its fierce eyes glaring at Xiu Qiyu with resentment before sinking back into the water to play the role of a salted fish.
Han Tianxin flicked the fishing rod lightly, and the strange fish, which was tied up like a dumpling, flew up and landed accurately in the bucket. Then he added a seal to the bucket.
"Lunch is all set for today." Han Tianxin happily put away his fishing rod and directed Xiu Qiyu to carry the bucket into the kitchen.
"Xiaoqi will take care of today's meals."
"Okay." Xiu Qiyu agreed without hesitation: "Little Yezi, come and lend a hand."
"Tsk tsk, I think you're the one who's helping out!"
Xiu Qiyu didn't reply. He picked up the bucket and stopped by the small sink in front of the kitchen. "Xiao Yezi, could you move away a little?"
"good."
Ye Xiruo closed her eyes, and a phantom, ice-blue sword flew directly into the bucket, beginning to kill the strange fish.
"Remember to be quick, or it won't taste good."
The sect leader has truly unique taste. This fish could be considered a ferocious beast. She had never seen any description of this kind of fish in any of the ancient books. Ye Xiruo had a persistent feeling that this fish had already developed sentience.
"Little girl, do you know why Xiao Qi's cultivation speed is so fast?"
"Brother Xiuqi has exceptional talent, a noble and powerful bloodline, and good comprehension. Coupled with his diligence, his cultivation is naturally rapid."
"No, you're wrong. It's because Xiao Qi grew up eating this kind of fish. Eating this kind of fish can replenish blood and energy, strengthen the foundation, and has many benefits." Han Tianxin stroked his beard and said with a proud look.
Uh, the sect leader's style is really off. I originally thought he would be a highly respected elder or a serious and unsmiling senior, but I didn't expect his personality to be so eccentric, like a child.
"Sect Leader, this is a spirit wine I brewed. Please have a taste."
“Little girl, you can also brew spirit wine. How come Xiao Qiqi never mentioned it? Did you secretly drink all of my share?”
Xiu Qiyu turned around expressionlessly: "Master, you forgot, I don't drink alcohol."
"Little Qiqi, this is what makes you so adorable—you don't try to steal my wine."
Han Tianxun opened the wine jar, and immediately a rich spiritual energy wafted out. The wine inside had completely transformed into a beautifully colored, viscous liquid, like jelly, emitting an enticing aroma.
"Little girl, did you brew this wine?"
"Yes, because it was accidentally left in a high-level spirit-gathering array for too long, and then it became concentrated like this. But concentration is the essence, and I believe that this little flaw will not affect its deliciousness."
"This is the first time in all these years that I've seen such spiritual wine with such abundant spiritual energy and such a wonderful taste. Little Qiqi, your master doesn't have anything else to give you, so you can take this jade pendant and play with it as you like!"
Holding the warm, white jade pendant in her palm, Ye Xiruo looked at Xiu Qiyu somewhat helplessly. Xiu Qiyu was busy dissecting a fish at the moment: "Your master gave it to you, so just take it and use it!"
"Okay." Although she didn't know the specific function of the jade pendant, she could definitely feel the sect leader's intention.
"Little girl, is there any more spiritual water?"
“Yes.” Xiu Qiyu took out a jar of spiritual water from her ring: “Master, I have tried this before. Adding spiritual water to dilute the wine will bring great surprises.”
"Such fine spirit wine, aren't you afraid of ruining it?"
Ye Xiruo shrugged: "This is a necessary sacrifice. How can we know the exact proportion without continuous attempts?"
"Well said, then you're in charge of diluting this wine."
"No problem, Master."
Ye Xiruo took out a smaller wine bottle from her spatial ring, scooped out a dozen spoonfuls of wine, and then slowly added spiritual water. She then transformed her spiritual power into a spiral shape and poured it into the wine bottle, allowing the two to fully merge.
Han Tianxin watched from the side, his deep, starry eyes occasionally flashing with a sharp light. "Incredible! Incredible! This little girl's soul power is incredibly pure and vast, and her control is also quite good. Such talent at such a young age makes her a perfect match for Xiao Qiqi. It even seems like Xiao Qiqi is benefiting from this; once a Divine Master awakens their sacred bloodline, they are destined to become a powerful Immortal King or Immortal Emperor."
Half an hour later, Ye Xiruo withdrew her spiritual power, and a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face: "I have fulfilled my mission. Please have a taste, Master." After speaking, she took out an exquisite crystal cup, poured a cup of diluted spiritual wine, and the beautiful wine flowed slowly in the crystal cup, shimmering with a captivating light, which made Han Tianxun somewhat lost in thought.
"Master, please."
"good."
Fruit wine made from grapes has a rich and mellow taste with a lingering aftertaste, and it is also pleasing to the eye, making people feel happy.
"This little girl has a very clever mind." She has considered everything.
"Master, you flatter me. Both Master and Senior Brother enjoy drinking, so I've also studied it. Drinking is incomplete without snacks. I wonder if Master would like to try some?"
Ye Xiruo calmly took out a table made of snow bamboo, and then began to take out the snacks that Zhang Quan had prepared for her from her spatial ring, one by one.
The table was laden with a variety of dishes, including cold shredded vegetables, hand-shredded chicken, braised pig's trotters, braised tofu, garlic eggplant, and finally, Ye Xiruo's specialty, beggar's chicken.
