Looking at the fishing rod broken in half, Lingtian was speechless.
Opposite Qian Renxue stood pitifully in the corner like a child who had made a mistake.
"Sister Xue'er, how did you do it?"
"I..." Qian Renxue lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyes wandering wildly, and she explained in a low voice, "I was just a little excited when I saw the fish take the bait, and then I couldn't control my strength and pushed hard, and it became like this."
"Is it that simple?"
"You are a titled Douluo, but you can't control your strength?"
Lingtian looked at Qian Renxue carefully, feeling that things were not that simple.
"Who knew it was so brittle and not fragile at all..." Qian Renxue puffed her lips and defended.
"What did you say?"
"right!"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have found the reason. She put her hands on her hips and hummed confidently, "It must be that the fishing rod you bought is not good. The quality is too poor! It broke after just a little force!"
"Then why is it okay after I've used it for so long?"
"Who knows~"
Qian Renxue's eyes were wandering, and she clearly lacked confidence at this moment.
At first glance, there is something fishy.
"Um?"
"Maybe it's because the durability has been lost?" Qian Renxue poked her chest with her small hands and asked tentatively.
Lingtian's head was covered with black lines and he really couldn't hold it back.
He raised his hand and knocked hard on someone's head, and said, "You were playing a game at the time. It's also durable. I have strengthened this fishing rod myself. It can withstand the power of a thousand-year-old spirit beast. How can you say that it is broken?"
Just cut it off!”
"I said why are you so hard..."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue murmured in a low voice and looked at Lingtian with a resentful look.
"Tell me, how did you do it?"
"I am~"
"I just want to help you test the...strength of the fishing rod, yes, the strength. And then it accidentally broke like this, ha~ By the way, I still have to go to the driver's cab, and I haven't set the course yet today!"
Before she finished speaking, Qian Renxue, feeling guilty, had already trotted off the deck.
"Haha~"
Lingtian smiled, but he didn't want to expose it.
Watching someone run away, I thought to myself: Who would believe this excuse?
Still testing the strength?
Just when he couldn't see it, wasn't it because he didn't get any fish to take the bait, so he got angry and took it out on the fishing rod~
Forget it~
Take it back quickly and fix it~
Fortunately, it was only broken in half and can still be used after some repair.
Otherwise, he would really have to go fishing in the sea for today’s dinner!
…
…
late at night.
After dinner, the two came to the deck again.
Listen to the waves and the cool sea breeze.
Lingtian found two deck chairs tucked into the corner from the ring, and the two of them sat on the deck, eating candied haws, while admiring the bright starry sky.
Compared to when inland.
The stars on the sea are clearer, as if they are so close and within reach.
The soft and bright moonlight falls on the sea, as if covering the sea with a thin veil.
Beautiful scenery always makes people relaxed and happy.
So since going to sea, the two of them have been doing this every night.
"I used to hear my grandpa say how beautiful the sea is and I always thought it was unrealistic."
After Qian Renxue swallowed the last hawthorn, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the majestic sea, and couldn't help but sigh, "But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that what grandpa said at the beginning was still conservative."
"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never know it." Lingtian nodded.
"Yes, I still need you~"
Qian Renxue turned around and smiled.
The bright moonlight shone on that stunningly beautiful face, making the originally fair skin look even more crystal clear.
It's a pity that he is not a painter.
Even if the beauty is fleeting, it will disappear.
Otherwise, this scene must be painted under the surface.
"...There will be many opportunities in the future."
Lingtian came to his senses and bit off the last hawthorn.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue pursed her lips and said with a smile, "If dad knew about it, you would be in trouble~"
"The old man is already bored, so he should be happy if we find something serious to do for him." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Lingtian's mouth, and in a few words he made the arrangements for his old father clear.
"Haha~"
Qian Renxue couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and laughing softly.
But when I think of Lingtian's proposal, I still have some inexplicable yearning in my heart.
Sure enough, most happiness is based on the pain of others.
But this is just a thought.
Both she and Lingtian have important things to work hard for.
Travel is appropriate. As the Queen of the Tiandou Empire, she must not be absent at the critical moment of the empire's development.
Thinking about it, my thoughts are flying.
Suddenly, Lingtian and Qian Renxue stood up.
"There's something under the boat."
"Don't worry about it for now and protect our ship."
Before he finished speaking, the two of them used their soul power at the same time, and the two forces supported the sailing ship and quickly retreated.
They only have this one sailing ship, so they must protect it well.
But not long after the displacement, the sea surface began to roll violently, and a huge whirlpool rose up from the original position of the sailing ship.
The huge octopus slowly emerged from the water.
Those eight dark purple tentacles kept smashing down, causing huge waves to rise across the sea.
Even though they were nearly a hundred meters apart, the entire ship was still affected by the waves, and the entire hull shook violently from side to side. If Lingtian hadn't moved the ship to a safe position in advance, it would have been torn apart by the waves.
into pieces.
Qian Renxue looked at the octopus who was still making trouble, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes!
The original beauty of Stars and Sea was destroyed in one fell swoop, and she was in a very bad mood now.
"It turns out to be an octopus sea spirit beast~"
Lingtian's ice eyes flashed, and he turned back to look at Qian Renxue and asked, "It seems that the strength should be around five thousand years... Are you going to do it, or am I going to do it?"
"I'll come, you protect the boat."
"Um."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight wings of the angel suddenly unfolded.
The angry Qian Renxue flew towards the sea octopus, while the light and shadow of the angel sword in his hand flickered.
Seeing someone coming forward, the sea octopus showed a fierce look in its eyes.
The eight tentacles suddenly tightened, and the next moment they jumped into the air and controlled the waves to attack Qian Renxue.
"drink!
"
Qian Renxue screamed, and the angelic sword slashed down.
In an instant, the waves broke through and pointed directly at the octopus controlling the sea water.
Swish——
The entire sea surface was shrouded in bright golden light. Although the octopus noticed Qian Renxue, it had no time to react before it was chopped in half by the angel sword from above.
Plop!
The corpse fell directly into the sea, and its huge body set off layers of waves.
The blue blood was not obvious at first, and was quickly washed away by the constantly flowing sea water.
And just then.
Lingtian suddenly waved his ice sword towards the water surface.
I saw the icy blue sword light flashing past the eight tentacles of the octopus as it emerged from the water.
Then Lingtian waved the Bingji Sword one after another, cutting off the eight octopus tentacles.
Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Xiaotian, what do you want with this tentacle?"
"This octopus is of millennium level. I think its meat quality should be better." Lingtian explained while putting the processed octopus feet into the soul guide where the ingredients were placed.
"Will it be delicious?" Hearing this, Qian Renxue was a little doubtful.
“You’ll know if you try it~”
"That's right! Then I'll go to the kitchen now."
"No, the fire in the kitchen can't cook this kind of food."
"Then for what?"
"this."
Lingtian smiled slightly and took out the ice flame cauldron and directly threw a piece of octopus foot that had been modified with a knife into it.
"Isn't this what you use for making alchemy..." Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, looked at the Bingyan Cauldron with a strange expression, and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Is cooking really good?"
"What's this~"
As he spoke, Lingtian took out bottles and jars and sprinkled some seasoning on them.
Then he began to use his soul power to heat up the Ice Flame Cauldron.
Seeing this scene, Qian Renxue silently gave someone a thumbs up.
Under the high temperature, the octopus feet shrink rapidly, and water drips onto the lower spines of the cauldron, making a tingling sound.
Octopus meat is different, it is a soul beast after all.
It would definitely be difficult to cook under an ordinary flame in the kitchen.
But the Ice Flame Cauldron is different. Its temperature is far higher than ordinary, so cooking these is naturally a piece of cake.
In a moment, a rich and extremely fragrant aroma came from the ice flame cauldron.
Under the flames of the ice flame cauldron, the fresh flavor of the octopus feet is completely stimulated.
This fragrance is simply refreshing, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Qian Renxue, who had been trained as a greedy cat by Lingtian, couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she smelled this fragrance.
"Xiaotian, how long will it take to bake it?"
Qian Renxue had forgotten her previous doubts, resting her chin in her hands and watching eagerly.
"Wait a little longer~"
Lingtian explained while stroking the octopus's legs in the cauldron, "This sea octopus is a soul beast that is more than three thousand years old after all. The meat is rich in essence energy, so it needs to be roasted for a while."
"Okay~"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was looking forward to it, was a little disappointed.
After taking a deep breath, he stared at the Ice Flame Cauldron.
Seeing this, Lingtian couldn't help but tease, "Sister Xue'er, weren't you doubting whether it was delicious just now?"
"Of course you won't know if it tastes good until you try it~" Qian Renxue said seriously, everything is empty in front of delicious food.
"You..."
Lingtian smiled and continued to concentrate on roasting.
There is a saying that cooking with Danding is a technical job.
The difficulty here is to control the temperature well, as a slight high-temperature flame will destroy the ingredients.
However, Lingtian is a veteran in cooking. As for temperature control, he was very good at it when he was practicing in the Killing City. It is no problem to cook an octopus foot.
The corpse of the thousand-year soul beast has a great temptation for the sea soul beast.
In addition, the octopus leg chosen by Lingtian is the essence of the dish, and the rich aroma released during the roasting has attracted many sea soul beasts from the nearby sea.
They all swam around the sailing ship.
Each of them had fierce and greedy eyes, staring closely at the two people's sailing ship.
If the remaining pressure of the octopus carcass hadn't dissipated, they might have been unable to resist attacking the ship!
"Xiaotian, why are there so many soul beasts?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
"Oops, I didn't think it through well. Thousand-year-old soul beasts are also a rare delicacy for them." Lingtian slapped his forehead. He had told Qian Renxue before that he had forgotten to hide the taste.
But it's not a big problem, the strength of the two of them is more than enough to deal with these little guys.
"Sister Xue'er, please deal with them all."
"Leave it to me."
Qian Renxue understood the idea and was about to raise the sword to deal with it when she suddenly thought of something and turned around and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Xiaotian, if other sea soul beasts are cooked, will they taste the same?
"
After learning about octopus meat, Qian Renxue became very interested in sea soul beasts.
In other words, I am full of expectations!
"Yes, but remember that it must be at least a thousand years old. Ordinary century-old sea soul beasts are no different from ordinary seafood, so collecting them has little meaning." Lingtian nodded, and at the same time threw the ring for collecting ingredients to Qian Renxue.
"I know~"
Qian Renxue responded.
When he turned back to look at the sea soul beasts, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was like going into a seafood market to buy something for zero yuan. If you saw something interesting, you would directly pocket it.
"This fish looks good, let's catch it!"
"This is pretty good-looking too. It shouldn't taste bad, right?"
"And don't run away!"
"This crab is so big, it must be delicious!"
"Come here, and this, come here!"
"..."
These are all delicious!
Ψ(￣∀￣)Ψ
Thinking like this, Qian Renxue raised her knife and dropped it.
The Angel Divine Sword suddenly caused a bloody storm on the sea. The sea soul beasts who wanted to take a piece of the pie were horrified to find that this human being was different. He was so cruel that he would not even spare the corpse!
If you don't leave, everything will be brought to the table.
At this time, they didn’t care about picking up any leaks, and ran away one by one, never daring to step into this sea of death again!
That's right, it's the Sea of Death, they don't dare to step into it.
Soon.
Looking at the empty sea, Qian Renxue curled her lips.
What~
She hasn’t collected enough yet~
I just saw a beautiful sea fish, but it ran too fast and accidentally let it escape.
Qian Renxue looked pityful and hesitated whether to go shopping again.
At this moment, Lingtian's voice came from the cabin, "Sister Xue'er, please come back, the octopus meat is ready to eat!"
"Coming, coming!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up and she quickly returned to the cabin.
Compared with catching seafood and delicious octopus meat, she still thinks that the delicious food in her mouth is more important.
On the cabin.
When Qian Renxue came back, she saw that Lingtian had taken out the octopus legs from the Ice Flame Cauldron, and used the Ice Ji Sword to process them into thick, large slices and put them on the baking sheet. They were bright in color and exuded an alluring aroma.
!
"Try it."
Looking at Qian Renxue who couldn't wait any longer, Lingtian pushed the baking pan forward.
"Hmm~~"
"Ugh!"
Qian Renxue quickly picked up a piece of octopus meat and took a bite. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "It's delicious. Xiaozhen is really delicious!"
The meat of this piece of octopus is firm and elastic.
But when you bite into it, it is as soft and tender as jelly.
The aftertaste is sweet and creamy.
Because it is cooked in the ice flame cauldron, the meat still has a faint aroma of elixirs.
It tastes even more memorable.
o(*￣▽￣*)o
This rich taste experience is completely unmatched by the octopus meat she has eaten before. If she hadn't watched Lingtian process it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that this was actually a piece of octopus meat!
