Chapter 135 - The Matchless Feast (2)
Chapter 135: The Matchless Feast (2)
Situ He clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the latest image transmitted by the drone.
The slices of beef were spread out thickly.
Drops of bright star-like juice were wrapped around the meat.
The target’s hand gently squeezed, and the juice burst out and returned to a dense psionic mist.
Under the high-definition camera, each fiber of the beef was broken and mixed with the psionic mist, and filled with juice.
Everyone in the entire monitoring room could not help but gulp hard.
“This piece of beef is probably comparable to the legendary dragon’s liver and phoenix’s bone marrow!” Xia Ping muttered to himself.
“I think it’s more than that…” Situ He looked at the beef that was cut into slices on the screen. While swallowing his drool, he said, “Although the dragon’s liver and phoenix’s bone marrow are precious, how can it be compared to the things that he cooks?”
The food used for banquets written in the legend of the gods in the imperial palace of Heaven was only cooked by some low-level gods.
Therefore, it was only food to satisfy the appetite.
What was truly precious were the delicacies made or grown by those on the top of the pyramid.
For example, the ginseng fruit grown by Zhenyuan Zi, the immortal peach from the Heavenly Queen Mother… and the immortal pill refined by The Supreme Venerable Sovereign.
Those were the precious delicacies that even immortals and gods would fight over with their lives!
Apart from the indescribable delicacy, there were also all sorts of divine effects that ordinary people could not understand!
For example, Zhenyuan Zi’s ginseng fruit could make a being live for hundreds of years with just a sniff, and eating one could increase one’s lifespan by tens of thousands of years!
As for the immortal pill refined by The Supreme Venerable Sovereign, swallowing one would make the person separate from the three realms and would no longer be in the five elements. One could enjoy a carefree life!
Although these were the words written in books, they also revealed valuable information.
So the problem was…
If one ate a piece of such beef…
What would happen to an ordinary person, especially the captain and the first lieutenant in the bookstore?
Rise to the heavens?
Immediately become an immortal?
What would happen if the commander-in-chief ate it?
Situ He did not know, but he was looking forward to it.
At this moment, the drone’s image blurred for a moment.
When the image was restored, they saw that the bookstore owner had already picked up the meat and walked to the stairs.
Under the HD camera, the beef that was originally shining like stars and surrounded by spiritual mist was now no different from ordinary high-end beef.
Whether it was the dense spiritual mist, the dazzling psionic energy, or the juice that was like stars…
All of them disappeared.
It was as if they were just ordinary slices of beef and nothing special.
Everyone looked at each other. “What happened just now?!”
No one knew what had happened at that instant.
But they could guess that it was because the owner of the bookstore had cast some spells on it.
… … ..
Ling Pingan walked down the stairs with a big plate of beef to the living room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the room, the kitten, Bastet jumped down from the table impatiently and rubbed against his pants.
Obviously, the kitten was attracted by the fragrance of the meat and couldn’t help wanting to taste it.
“Little guy, you can’t eat it now…” Ling Pingan looked at the kitten and teased, “Otherwise, you’ll have diarrhea!”
“Little Pingan!” Li Anan looked at the beef Ling Pingan brought in and asked impatiently, “Where’s your wine!”
“Hurry up and take it out!”
She rubbed her fists and couldn’t wait any longer. She didn’t look like a lady at all. Instead, she looked like a young man playing with his friends at a midnight snack stall.
She soon realized that there was something wrong with her posture.
Hence, she smiled awkwardly and explained to Chu Weiwei and Li Shouyi, “Leader, Weiwei…”
“You guys don’t know that Little Pingan’s meat must be eaten with the wine he brews!”
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat much!”
“Moreover, it’s very easy to get diarrhea!”
Ling Pingan smiled and bowed like an ancient gentleman. “Please wait a moment. I’ll bring it over right away!”
When he cooked meat, he would choose the best ingredients.
And the higher the grade of the ingredients, the more fat there was.
For example, the piece of beef he was roasting right now was the top-grade Fusang Tamaji cow.
The fat content was frighteningly high. An ordinary person would get sick of eating one piece at a time and would not be able to eat anymore.
They might even have diarrhea after eating it!
However, Ling Pingan’s self-brewed wine was a godly product that could cut the grease!
With a mouthful of beef and a mouthful of wine, one would not feel the greasy feeling from the meat!
He placed the beef on the table and walked to the fridge to take out the wooden barrel filled with wine.
Then, he placed three cups on the table.
He opened the cork and poured a glass full of beautiful red wine for each of them.
“Sir, Miss Chu, please enjoy your meal!” Ling Pingan smiled and said, “I’ll go to the kitchen first and prepare the other dishes…”
… … ..
Li Shouyi looked at the beef on the coffee table in front of him.
Pieces of thick-cut beef were plump and juicy.
The smoked skin was golden and crisp.
Judging from its appearance, it was already pretty good.
However…
The picture he saw last night was not like that.
“Commander-in-chief…” Li Anan had already gotten used to it. She cut a piece with a knife and placed it on a plate. She brought it to Li Shouyi and said, “Take some!”
“Little Pingan’s beef is the best in the world!”
“I’ve eaten all the famous restaurants in the entire Federal Empire. None of them can cook better than my nephew!”
“It can even be said that all the other steakhouses, even the top restaurant in the capital, cannot compare to my nephew’s cooking skills!”
Li Anan had the right to speak in this aspect as an expert foodie.
She even felt that she was being very modest by saying that.
“It’s not bad!” Li Shouyi frowned slightly and answered with a smile. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and picked up the piece of beef in front of him.
With just a gentle force, the beef was like tofu being picked open.
The juice gushed out like a burst of pulp.
Li Shouyi put the small piece of beef to his mouth and took a bite.
Bang!
His eyes immediately lit up.
The soft and tender beef melted in his mouth and turned into a warm, sweet spring that filled his mouth.
His taste buds seemed to have exploded.
The flavor of the beef assaulted his face.
But…
That wasn’t important!
What was important was…
Li Shouyi could feel that the powerful psionic energy contained in the sweet spring had instantly seeped into his body from the cells in his tongue and mouth.
It was just a mouthful!
Just a mouthful!
The powerful psionic energy washed over his body like a tidal wave.
Even he was shaken by the impact of the powerful psionic energy.
He felt that this mouthful of meat was equivalent to half a year of his tough cultivation!
“It’s a little greasy, isn’t it?” Li Anan’s beautiful voice rang in his ears. “You can get rid of it by drinking our homemade wine!”
Hearing this, Li Shouyi looked at the glass of wine placed in front of him.
The wine in the glass was bright red and clear.
He picked it up. The rich aroma of the wine assailed his nostrils, and there was also a kind of fruit fragrance that made his mind relax.
Li Shouyi took a sip gently.
The wine tasted sweet and refreshing. The aroma of the wine lingered between his tongue and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.
But…
What shocked Li Shouyi more, was that when he drank the wine, the psionic energy that was rushing through his body suddenly quieted down.
They became extremely obedient, like a gurgling stream, settling down bit by bit like the starlight that filled the sky. Then, they scattered into every cell and tissue in his body.
An even more unbelievable scene appeared.
Li Shouyi felt that the psionic energy in his body was also being dissolved by this mouthful of wine.
The magical power that he had cultivated for decades, the psionic energy that was overflowing in his body, was showing signs of loosening.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be shocked and angry at this moment, thinking that they had fallen into a trap.
But Li Shouyi knew that this would only benefit him!
Because he had been trapped in this realm for a whole ten years.
For the past ten years, he could not advance an inch no matter how much he cultivated.
The road ahead was already blocked!
It was almost impossible to advance any further!
And the reason was very simple. When he was young, he was eager to achieve success, constantly breaking through realms.
That made him a legend, but it also left an almost insurmountable obstacle for him now.
His foundation wasn’t stable, and he couldn’t stand on his feet.
Just like an engineer building a house, the foundation wasn’t strong enough to support a skyscraper.
That made him worried, confused and lost.
But now…
After a mouthful of wine, all his worries, all his confusion, and all his problems were solved.
The road ahead appeared again.
“This wine!” Li Shouyi was shocked. “This wine… is reshaping my already unchangeable foundation!”
According to the legends, the immortal pills of Immortals could defy the heavens and change fate. And the spiritual medicines of Gods and Buddhas could cleanse the marrow and change the body.
Li Shouyi didn’t believe all of that in the past.
But now, he had no choice but to believe it!
Because the truth was right in front of his eyes!
A mouthful of wine was more effective than ten years of his hard work!
After this mouthful of wine, his already solidified body, which was almost impossible to change, began to loosen up!
What was even more valuable was that he could also eat the beef which was overflowing with powerful psionic energy.
A mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.
While reshaping his body and reshaping his foundation, it could also maintain his realm so that he could connect seamlessly.
That was simply…
It could only be described as a miracle!
Thinking of this, Li Shouyi raised his head and looked at Li Anan, who was in front of him and Chu Weiwei, eating meat and drinking wine while whispering to each other.
Captain of the Blackguard!
This captain had joined the Blackguard for seven years!
After seven years, she had barely broken through to the position of the first lieutenant.
In the past, when he looked at her file, Li Shouyi was still extremely doubtful and felt that it was unbelievable.
But now, all the doubts had been explained.
The captain was rebuilt every year. Every year, she was being rebuilt.
The depth of her foundation and the firmness of her foundation had probably reached a level that any ordinary being could not understand or guess!
That deep foundation seemed to have bound her, making her advancement countless times more difficult than ordinary people.
If the difficulty of an ordinary being’s breakthrough was 100, her advancement difficulty was probably 10,000 or even 100,000!
However…
Li Shouyi understood…
She had the most promising future.
The captain was probably the person with the brightest future in this world!
No one could compare to her.
That was because everyone else had a barrier.
As for her…
No…
Her future was limitless, and her upper limit was also boundless!
