The forest rustled, and the setting sun slanted westward.
Amid scenery as beautiful as a fairyland, the aroma of grilled fish drifted on the wind.
Xuan Que widened her eyes, watching in disbelief as Luo Chuan kept taking out bottles and jars, sprinkling their contents over the grilled fish until they released an enticing fragrance.
She swallowed, suddenly feeling very hungry.
Why had she never thought that fish could be eaten like this? It tasted far better than eating it raw, though the process was rather troublesome.
"Here."
Luo Chuan handed a grilled fish to Xuan Que and picked up another for himself. He sniffed it. It smelled pretty good, though it certainly could not compare to Yao Ziyan's cooking.
Still, food could not be judged by taste alone. Something made with one's own hands naturally felt more delicious.
He took a bite. The skin was already charred, carrying the scent of charcoal, while the flavors of the various seasonings did not conceal the taste of the fish itself.
The fish was fresh and tender, its moisture firmly sealed within. Faint spiritual energy wandered through his mouth as he chewed, creating a very unique texture.
Luo Chuan gave it a rating: one Yao.
"How does it taste?" he did not forget to ask Xuan Que for her opinion.
"Delicious!" Xuan Que nodded repeatedly, oil glistening at the corners of her mouth. "Boss, you're amazing!"
At the Teleportation Array plaza, Fan Chengtian gritted his teeth. His heart ached a little, so he could only shift his attention to the card game before him.
"Come to think of it, are these fish raised by someone?" Luo Chuan finally noticed this issue.
"Yep, yep. The headmaster grandpa raised them," Xuan Que answered casually.
Luo Chuan: "..."
Forget it. Since he was working here
