In the evening.

Next to a large bonfire with flames five or six meters high.

Everyone is preparing food.

Since they were on a group trip, even the usually lazy Qianshan Xuehui and the eldest lady Tian Yuanli were preparing their own specialties of food according to their own habits.

For example, Yuyuan Wanseyun, who was planning to make some sashimi-type dishes, was currently seriously thinking about whether the big fish that Xishenlian had caught from the nearby lake was edible.

The fish's body surface is covered with a layer of strange patterns. The overall color appears to be dark gold, and it also has a hard shell with a slightly metallic texture.

Its body structure is that its head is large and its tail is light. Its body length is about three meters and its total weight is about three hundred kilograms, of which the weight of the head accounts for at least one third of the total weight.

Now.

Face this strange fish.

Yuyuan Wanseyun repeatedly sharpened the kitchen knife in his hand and asked Xi Shenlian with some uncertainty:

“Are you sure you can eat this fish?”

She had punched the thing out of curiosity about the hardness of its shell.

Although it is not used much.

Only about five tons.

However, the destructive power caused by that level of force released by a human fist is definitely far greater than that of most individual weapons!

Even ordinary defensive obstacles may not be able to withstand it.

However.

After her blow, only a small mark was left on the fish's shell.

This made Yuyuan Wanseyun wonder whether this thing was some completely unknown ancient species and whether it contained toxins.

Although as a [mature awakener] she is definitely not afraid of toxins.

But the rest of the people may not be sure...

If some members of the general public have problems eating fish, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Hearing this kind of talk.

Qianshan Xuehui, who was preparing sashimi dipping sauce and other condiments nearby, turned her head and looked over, repeatedly looking at what Xi Shenlian had caught.

In an instant.

There was obvious disdain in her eyes.

In her eyes, the fish looked a bit ugly.

She casually complained:

“This fish doesn’t look very tasty.”

"Also... the shell feels like rusted metal, like it's been contaminated."

"If I continue to eat this, I suspect the heavy metal content will exceed the limit!"

"I won't eat it anyway!!"

Faced with this slander.

Although he was just an amateur fisherman, Xi Shenlian still felt insulted.

This kind of slander is even more painful than saying he is from the Air Force! !

He couldn't help but clarify:

"This fish not only has excellent meat quality and delicious taste, but also contains a large number of special elements. If consumed for a long time, it can not only nourish the yin and improve the skin and physical fitness, but also improve the IQ of the eater to a certain extent!!"

"How can you judge a fish by its appearance?!"

Hearing this.

Qianshan Xuehui immediately chose to regret!

Without changing his expression, he turned to Yuyuan Wanseyun and said:

"Please hurry up, Miss Wanseyun."

"To be honest, I'm actually very hungry now."

"What I said before that I don't eat this fish was just a joke, please don't take it seriously."

"I think such natural treasures belong to virtuous people, so I must try them."

Facing the fourfold ** of delicious food, nourishing yin, strengthening the body, and being wise.

While decisively denying her previous mistake, she also politely urged the chef who was still sharpening the knife.

Xi Shenlian: "..."

Yuyuan Wanseyun: "..."

Except for silencing the fisherman and the chef.

Chiyama Yukie's few words also made Izayoi Kiyomi, who was standing next to her and helping her prepare the seasonings, also unable to keep a straight face.

but.

Out of consideration of saving some face for Qianshan Xuehui.

Shizaye Qingmiao finally held back.

She didn't laugh out loud.

"Snort~"

Unfortunately, Miyako Kozue couldn't hold back.

The silver lining in this misfortune is that Chiyama Xuehui possesses some similar characteristics to Saigami Lian.

This caused her to ignore her best friend's laughter without changing her expression and was not taken aback by her precise ridicule.

After a brief silence.

Faced with the urging, Yuyuan Wanseyun, who had finally finished sharpening the kitchen knife, could only hold the slender and sharp kitchen knife about 26 centimeters long in one hand and shook his head and sighed:

"Ms. Qianshan is indeed Lian's childhood sweetheart. The two of you are so similar and compatible that I am really ashamed of myself..."

While speaking.

A breeze also blew.

That was not an airflow from outside, but a collateral effect caused by the rapid swinging of the kitchen knife in Yuyuan Wanseyun's hand.

With superb martial arts.

Although the speed of swinging the sword was far beyond the speed of sound, she did not cause any sonic boom or anything like that.

At a level that ordinary people cannot see clearly.

Every moment.

Yuyuan Wanseyun would accurately slide the blade along the gap in the shell of the strange fish in front of him and make complex cuts, causing the structures inside the opponent's body to be continuously cut.

Faced with her using skills.

Right now.

The monster fish's shell, which was strong enough to withstand most thermal weapons, was completely non-existent...

In a trance.

I haven't realized what happened yet.

Qianshan Xuehui only felt that the kitchen knife in Yuyuan Wanseyun's hand disappeared for a moment.

When she looked at the kitchen knife again, she saw that the other party was already sheathing the knife.

"?"

Then she heard a slight rustling sound.

The shell on the big fish's body fell off automatically like a piece of clothing.

The slices of meat in its body, which had been cut as thin as silkworm wings, floated slowly in the air like snowflakes being blown by the wind.

Finally, they are stacked together piece by piece according to different parts.

I have to say.

This scene immediately reminded Qianshan Xuehui of some strange food animations that were like mythological films.

However, unlike watching food anime, you can see various slow-motion shots and hear various voice-over lines that supplement the settings.

Here in the Imperial Courtyard of Wanseyun.

She didn't see anything clearly.

I only saw the other party draw and put away the knife.

So how do I put it...

It's like watching a TV series and only seeing the beginning and the end.

My heart was filled with a feeling of awe.

And a little further away.

Because she became an awakened one, Ye Qili was able to barely see some of the trajectory of Yuyuan Wanseyun's sword swings.

While deeply feeling the other party's exquisite skills.

She looked at the metal kitchenware in her hand that broke into pieces with a single squeeze, and a look of deep distress appeared on her pretty face...

Because she was originally a warrior, and had eaten a lot of good things by following Xi Shenlian, she had just awakened and now had reached the level of a single-handed grip of more than ten tons.

Cooking also became something she was temporarily isolated from...
