Leftovers Appear! Top-Tier Charity from an Unrivaled Douluo!
The Sea Witch suddenly lowered her head.
The piece of fish that Qian Daoliu half-chewed and then disgustedly spat out flew past her hair.
Finally, with a "splat," it smeared onto a magnificent pillar in the distance, slowly sliding down and leaving a sticky trail.
Qian Daoliu wiped his mouth, turned to look at Bo Saixi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were filled with sincere and undisguised pity.
"Xi Xi, is this what you usually eat?"
Bo Saixi's knuckles were white from gripping the chopsticks tightly, and her beautiful sea-blue eyes stared intently at him, clearly not wanting to answer a single word.
The Sea Witch beside her, however, straightened up after recovering from her shock and tilted her head in confusion.
Her simple-minded thinking prevented her from comprehending what was happening before her eyes.
"Grand Elder, this is what we've always eaten."
The Sea Witch pointed to the shimmering, radiant "seafood" on the table, exuding pure Soul Power.
"Furthermore, the 'deep-sea silver cod' you just ate is a top-tier ingredient that only the High Priest can enjoy. The harvesting process is extremely difficult. Is there a problem?"
"Question?"
"Question?"
Qian Daoliu heard this, it was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"This is a huge problem!"
For a moment, the pity in Qian Daoliu's eyes as he looked at the Sea Witch and Bo Saixi was almost overflowing.
He let out a long, deep sigh.
How pitiful.
Only those of you who have never tasted the truly delicious food cooked by your predecessors would consider this a treasure.
"Bland and tasteless"
Qian Daoliu shook his head and gave his first evaluation.
"The fishy smell is overwhelming."
He shook his head again and gave a second assessment.
Finally, he concluded in a definitive tone.
"This is an absolute waste! It's the greatest desecration of the ingredients!"
"Xi Xi, oh Xi Xi".
Qian Daoliu straightened up, looking at Bo Saixi with a pained expression.
"What kind of miserable life have you been living?!"
He pointed to the dishes on the table, his voice rising eight octaves, filled with the passion and persuasiveness of a pyramid scheme leader.
"Let me tell you! In your eyes, this might be considered delicious food!"
"But at the Maple Dye Pavilion, in that senior's shop!"
Qian Daoliu extended a finger, almost poking Bo Saixi's nose.
"This kind of food doesn't even deserve to be served!"
"You simply cannot imagine what kind of food our predecessors made!"
"That exquisite fragrance can make your very soul tremble!"
After Qian Daoliu's heartfelt boasting, Bo Saixi remained unmoved, her face still cold.
On the contrary, the Sea Witch next to her had a glimmer of curiosity in her innocent big eyes.
Gurgle.
A clear sound of swallowing saliva rang out in the quiet hall.
The Sea Witch's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Grand Elder, is the food that senior made really... really that delicious?"
This question seemed to instantly ignite Qian Daoliu's desire to share!
"Of course!"
At this point, Qian Daoliu suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.
Then, under their gazes, he coughed lightly, his expression returning to seriousness and solemnity.
"Today, I'll show you what I'm made of."
As he spoke, he carefully, as if holding a priceless treasure, took out a jade bowl from his Soul Tool.
Bo Saixi and the Sea Witch both focused their gazes on the jade bowl.
Given Qian Daoliu's solemn, almost pilgrimage-like demeanor, what's in that bowl is probably no ordinary item!
However, when Qian Daoliu tilted the jade bowl slightly, the expressions of the two people instantly froze.
The Sea Witch blinked, then blinked again, tilting her head to the side, her face full of question marks.
Because what was in that bowl was none other than the half-bowl of Egg Fried Rice that Qian Daoliu had packed up before leaving Maple Dye Pavilion...
That's it?
These were the thoughts that simultaneously popped into Bo Saixi's and the Sea Witch's minds.
They made such a big fuss.
I thought you were going to pull out something amazing.
And what did you do? You just bring out a bowl of Egg Fried Rice?
And judging by its appearance, it looks like leftovers!
However, what they found even more absurd was yet to come.
After taking out the half bowl of rice, Qian Daoliu did not generously hand it to them.
Instead, with a pained expression, he pulled out a small, golden spoon from his Soul Tool.
With the tip of a spoon, he carefully and cautiously, as if he were cutting a piece of priceless divine gold, scooped out a small spoonful from the bowl.
Really, just a tiny spoonful!
That little bit of food probably only contained a dozen or so grains of rice.
He first poured the small spoonful of Egg Fried Rice into the Sea Witch's bowl.
Then, he scooped out a slightly larger spoonful and held it out to Bo Saixi.
As he poured those twenty-odd grains of rice into Bo Saixi's clean white jade bowl, he even used the small gold spoon to...
"Bang, bang."
It tapped lightly twice.
I knocked the last two grains of rice stuck to the spoon into the bowl.
That feeling...
It's like a stingy owner who's afraid of wasting a single drop of dog food after feeding their guard dog.
Bo Saixi: "..."
Sea Witch: "..."
"Try it, try it all!"
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a sense of condescension, as if he were saying, "You've gotten a great deal."
"I guarantee that after you finish eating, you'll forget who you are!"
After saying that, he didn't even glance at the two of them again, and hugged his bowl, which was still more than half full.
He started shoveling the food into his mouth, a blissful expression on his face.
Bo Saixi looked at the pitiful dozen or so grains of rice in her bowl.
Then he glanced at Qian Daoliu.
Almost instinctively, she picked up the bowl, wanting to smash this "food offered in contempt" hard onto the shameless face opposite her!
But when she picked up the bowl, she stopped.
The Egg Fried Rice in the bowl, though cold, still had each grain distinct and plump.
Each grain of rice is perfectly coated with a thin layer of golden, translucent egg liquid, reflecting an almost dreamlike luster under the soft light of the Sea God Temple.
No strong aroma wafted out.
But as he watched, Bo Saixi's throat involuntarily bobbed.
It looks... kind of... not bad?
How about... just try a bite?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she forcibly suppressed it.
Are you kidding me!
I just beat this guy up, and now I'm eating his leftovers?
Where will she put her pride?
Does the High Priest of the Sea God still have any dignity?
While Bo Saixi was torn between his own conscience and his own pitiful pride, he hesitated to make a decision.
The Sea Witch on the other side didn't have so many psychological burdens.
She was already drooling from Qian Daoliu's description.
Seeing the actual product now, how could I possibly resist?
She picked up the bowl, used her chopsticks to gather the small piece of Egg Fried Rice together, and then stuffed it into her mouth.
She closed her eyes and chewed slowly.
At first, she looked somewhat confused.
They seemed to be wondering why the cold food tasted so ordinary.
However, just two seconds later, the expression on her pretty face, which still held a hint of curiosity, froze instantly.
Then, those clear eyes suddenly widened!
A dazzling light, unlike anything seen before, burst forth from those innocent eyes!
The next second.
The Sea Witch's gaze, like that of the fiercest hungry wolf, was fixed intently and unwaveringly on the jade bowl in Qian Daoliu's hand.
Every grain of rice that disappeared so quickly from the bowl felt like a knife twisting in her heart!
"Ahhh!! Stop eating!"
