Chapter 146 A Regretful Incident at Taste of the Sea



"Taste of the Sea, let's choose this place; I've never tried seafood before?"

After browsing for a while, Yu Qingtan pointed to a restaurant slightly ahead on the left, recommending it.

Xiang Yiyi and Shui Qingrou gladly accepted, and the three of them stepped into the store named "Taste of the Sea," where a young waiter's eyes lit up as he approached.

"Welcome, three beauties, would you like the hall or a private room?"

"Private room!"

"Alright, thank you for choosing our restaurant. We have a variety of seafood, most of which is made to order, ensuring your satisfaction..."

The waiter showed the three women to a second-floor private room while introducing them to the place.

In the center of the main hall of the restaurant, there was a cylindrical, three-story-tall transparent aquarium filled with various types of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and crabs moving about.

"All of the seafood in our restaurant comes from the Sea Clan, which possess exceptional spiritual energy and delicious flavors. We have sashimi, cured fish, stir-fry, soup, barbecue, and all kinds of cooking methods.

Since all three of you are Foundation Establishment Cultivators, I recommend..."

The Sea Clan is actually sea monsters, which after who knows how many years of evolution, have developed quite a few differences from the land-based demonic beasts, hence called the Sea Clan, distinguishing them from the Demon Race.

The vast Lichuan Inner Sea spans a wide area and has nurtured countless members of the Sea Clan, which have always been a great enemy to the Human Race.

Wendao Immortal City is not too far from the coastline, so there are quite a few products from the Sea Clan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eventually, Yu Qingtan and her two friends ordered a Third Stage tuna sashimi, a steamed Second Stage sea bass, a salt-baked Second Stage large shrimp, and three portions of Second Stage sea cucumber Spirit Rice porridge.

The portions were substantial, and the prices were indeed high, amounting to eighty thousand Spirit Stones. If the three women weren't the type who were not short of Spirit Stones, they would hardly be able to afford it.

After the dishes were served, the flavors were indeed extremely delicious, especially the Third Stage tuna sashimi, which melted in the mouth and left a lasting taste one couldn't forget.

While enjoying the delicious food, Yu Qingtan once again remembered the time she and Shen Wanning went to the Drunken Fairy Building in Suichuan Immortal City. When she had first arrived in this world, it was Wanning who had always been encouraging and accompanying her.

"Damn Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel!" After cursing the Calamity Crossing True Monarch who had kidnapped Wanning, she transformed her longing into appetite and continued to revel in the delicacies before her.

"Qing Tan, how did you meet Senior Feng?"

"..."

The three were chatting while eating when the waiter who had greeted them came over again.

"Beauties, would you like to enjoy the dance service? We have cool and handsome guys, wolf-like young men, cute little boys, and various styles to choose from, and the key point is that it's free!"

Yu Qingtan was completely baffled and recalled something from her previous life related to a certain Topic Three. She glanced at Shui Qingrou and Xiang Yiyi and immediately declined.

Considering Yu Qingtan's strength and extensive experience, the three of them had already tacitly acknowledged her as the leader, even though Shui Qingrou was the close junior sister of Valley Master Shui Yun of Tianxiang Valley.

After they had finished eating, the three women exited the private room. As they walked down the staircase that wrapped around the aquarium, a golden sea carp inside "thumped" against the tank wall at the same level as the women.

As Yu Qingtan and the others descended, it relentlessly rammed into the corresponding spots.

"Ladies, there's no need to worry, this aquarium is a treasure, and a Third Stage formation is arranged on it, so this Second Stage member of the Sea Clan can't break it."

The waiter was escorting them out and hurriedly explained when he saw what was happening.

"Does this fish always do this?"

"This fish was just brought here a few days ago and has always been very well-behaved; I don't know what got into it today?"

Yu Qingtan looked at the golden sea carp and noticed that it was also looking at her; there was a pleading look in its eyes.

"This fish looks quite pretty and lively; is it for sale?"

"Yes, it's for sale, but the golden sea carp is extremely rare and its flesh is exceptionally tasty, so the price..."

"How much for the Spirit Stones?"

"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, I'll take it!"

Yu Qingtan was about to consider the bid for a moment, but before he could speak up, someone descending from the stairs shouted loudly.

Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be True Person Ying Dang from the Charm Immortal Cave, followed by four male Golden Core Cultivators, none of whom were staying at the Pavilion of Listening Waves.

"It's such a small world!" Yu Qingtan sighed inwardly and said:

"Senior, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it!"

"Then let's bid, my brothers. I just want to enjoy Golden Sea Carp soup. Can you grant me this small wish?"

"Of course, just a Golden Sea Carp. Youngster, how many Spirit Stones can you offer?"

The four male Golden Core Cultivators looked at Yu Qingtan. Although they were amazed by Yu Qingtan's beauty, they recognized the clothing of Tianxiang Valley, and they preferred True Person Ying Dang, who was mature and skilled.

Yu Qingtan was somewhat frustrated. She had only seven hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, two thousand three hundred Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and twelve High-Grade Spirit Stones on her, most from the spoils of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, with a part being the earnings from Zhi Lan Pavilion.

This amount of Spirit Stones was substantial for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator but was not much in the eyes of a Golden Core Cultivator. Moreover, True Person Ying Dang was not only the master of the Charm Immortal Cave, but she also had four Golden Core admirers competing to spend Spirit Stones on her.

Perhaps noticing Yu Qingtan's dilemma, True Person Ying Dang felt greatly pleased. She had quite a grudge against this girl who had disrupted her plans and was also so pretty.

The Golden Sea Carp, meanwhile, battered the tank walls even harder, looking pitifully at Yu Qingtan with its eyes.

"Nine hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Yu Qingtan, with an expressionless face, reported a price to the shopkeeper who had hurried over, a middle-aged Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the later stage.

"One million Spirit Stones."

One of the male Golden Core Cultivators quickly called out a higher bid and looked at the other three with a proud expression.

True Person Ying Dang's face broke into a smile, and she cast a flirtatious glance at him.

Yu Qingtan continued down the stairs; she hadn't intended to buy the fish anymore and had only quoted a price to irk the others.

It was just a Golden Sea Carp that seemed somewhat mystical. She couldn't save it or help with the circumstances; it was not her kin, not her concern.

Watching Yu Qingtan's "discomfited" retreat, True Person Ying Dang felt a sense of triumph in her heart.

"Shopkeeper, please prepare this fish into a soup, and send it up to the private room on the third floor. I want to enjoy the Golden Sea Carp soup with Brother Qin properly."

After speaking, she returned upstairs, Qin Surnamed Golden Core Cultivator followed with a sunny disposition, and the other three, though reluctant, had no choice but to take their leave.

"Alright! Just a moment, Senior!"

So saying, the shopkeeper performed some manipulations outside the tank, and a stone projectile accurately hit the head of the Golden Sea Carp, stunning it, then instructed the chef to take it and prepare soup.

...

In the southeastern sea.

Under the sea, within a beautifully crafted underwater palace, a figure with two horns on his forehead paced back and forth.

Just then, a person with fins on his back, walked in.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

The horned figure asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, following the direction indicated by your Bloodline Tracking Technique, we haven't found anything up to the coast."

"Useless, all useless! How could so many from the Sea Clan fail to watch over a single child."

"Aaargh~"

Suddenly, the horned figure roared to the sky, emitting a terrifying aura. The finned figure was sent flying out, and the whole palace trembled.

Waves of sorrow came through his bloodline, and he understood—his child had met with harm.
