Fine Fish Sashimi, Primordial World Parasites

"Has that guy gone mad?"

Not only did Wu Chu not understand, but Qingqiu Li also didn't understand.

She is the Qingqiu Fox Ancestor! Even the Dragon Ancestor Zulong would have to treat her with respect. That Yazi merely the son of the Dragon Ancestor Zulong, yet he dares to be so disrespectful. Who gave him the audacity?

Seeing her like this, Wu Chu couldn't help but laugh and say, "What? Does my wife want to give him a beating?"

"Such rudeness, what harm is there in beating him up? I'm not afraid to reason with the Dragon Ancestor Zulong."

Wu Chu gently patted her shoulder and said, "These things are hard to explain. Perhaps if we really bring it up with the Dragon Ancestor Zulong, we'll be the ones in the wrong!"

Houtu nodded slightly and said, "My husband is right! It's easy to beat that guy up; three against one, we can easily suppress him. But what happens after we suppress him? If that guy likes to eat blood food back in the Dragon Court, then blood food is his delicacy. He brings out his food to entertain us, and we beat him up instead. How can we reason with that?"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "That's it!"

Then the Little Fox chimed in from behind them, "I think he did it on purpose. I saw him take out the blood food, and when he saw the expressions on our faces, he smiled."

"So what if he laughed? Maybe he was laughing at our cowardice!" Wu Chu shook his head slightly. "These kinds of things, driven by strong personal preferences, are hard to explain. Besides, he even thinks that only those who dare to eat blood are true True Dragon!"

In fact, this is what Wu Chu is puzzled about. From the word "Yaiju must retaliate", we can only infer that Yaizhen is a narrow-minded and vengeful guy.

Being petty doesn't mean being a muscle-bound idiot. Doesn't he know that this easily makes people dislike him and offends them?

If this was his personal behavior, then it can only be said that Yazi is a strange, ferocious, and bloodthirsty savage, and very likely also a petty person who holds grudges.

But if this is the Dragon Clan testing him, letting Yazi tell him that the Dragon Clan will not give in to him or fawn over him just because of his special relationship with the Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan.

That would completely change the nature of the matter.

The former was merely Yazi's personal act, while the latter was definitely instigated by the higher-ups of the Dragon Clan.

If it was all just Yazi's personal behavior, then the matter is simple. But if it was instigated by the higher-ups of the Dragon Clan, then it means that the Dragon Ancestor Zulong was somewhat dissatisfied with him.

"That's barbaric!" As Wu Chu drifted, Little Moon Spirit said with a slightly serious expression, "Only barbaric creatures that don't know etiquette would like to eat blood food..."

Upon hearing this, the pets looked at each other, each seemingly seeing in the other's eyes the message, "You must have eaten blood before."

Then the pets looked at Little Moon Spirit again.

Seeing this, Little Moon Spirit coughed lightly, "Although I used to be wild, that's all in the past! Since I started learning cooking from A Chu, I've never eaten any bloody food again. It's such a waste of ingredients."

Houtu and Qingqiu Li couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, finding the girl truly adorable.

Wu Chu reached out and patted her head, saying, "Actually, you can't say that. Among delicacies, there is one that can be eaten raw."

What kind of food?

Wu Chu piqued everyone's curiosity.

Didn't you just say that eating blood is a barbaric act?

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "This kind of delicacy can only be found in marine life. It's generally not recommended to eat raw creatures that live on land or in rivers."

However, upon further reflection, Wu Chu realized that given their cultivation levels, even if the food in the land and rivers contained parasites, it certainly wouldn't pose any threat to them.

Moreover, with Little Moon Spirit's cultivation level, she could easily detect whether there were parasites in the food with a scan of her Divine Sense, thus eliminating this potential hazard during the preparation process.

"That kind of delicacy is called 'fish sashimi,' which involves killing the fish, draining its blood, removing all the bones, slicing the fish meat into paper-thin slices, and then dipping it in sauce. Therefore, the selection of fish is quite important when making fish sashimi."

"Then why can't fish in rivers and streams do the same?" Little Moon Spirit asked.

Little Cai Niang, who was also Little Chef, quietly pricked up her little ears. Several flower Little Chef, led by Little Jasmine, flew directly to Wu Chu and the others to listen.

"The water in rivers and streams is freshwater, which easily breeds tiny worms. These worms parasitize fish and other creatures, and we can easily ingest them. If we're not careful, they will continue to grow inside us. Seawater, on the other hand, is different..."

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered, imagining those tiny insects parasitizing their bodies and growing continuously; the thought alone made them feel nauseous.

Yoyo maneuvered the Tower Ship, continuing its journey upstream along the Great River. The group, who had just been disgusted by the Great River Water Lord, were now enthusiastically discussing how to prepare blood food.

Little Moon Spirit was a little puzzled, so she reached into the Great River and casually pulled out a fat fish about a meter long. Then she used her Divine Sense to carefully examine the struggling fish.

Sure enough, not long after, she flicked her finger and pulled a thin, white, thread-like creature, about half a foot long, from the fat fish's body.

Seeing this thing, many people felt a chill run down their spines.

The Little Fox bared its teeth. "Did we have this thing when we ate fish before?"

Wu Chu hadn't expected that parasites also existed in the waters of this Primordial World. His caution in not drinking from that lake when he first arrived in this world proved correct. Fortunately, there were no parasites in that Primordial One-Qi Pure Spirit Spring.

Wu Chu smiled and said, "Actually, this parasite isn't as scary as you think. Boiling it in water will kill it. What's scary is that when you eat it raw, its eggs enter your body. If we're not careful, those eggs hatch using our body's energy, possessing an aura similar to ours, and we don't realize it in time..."

After hearing what he said, everyone immediately lost interest in the sashimi.

Seeing this, Wu Chu continued, "Actually, think back to when you were young. Were you so particular about what you ate? Didn't you also eat raw meat and drink blood? You must have accidentally eaten insect eggs back then, you just didn't notice."

Bi Huo glanced at Bai Ze and Old Round, and said, "No, I have to go check it out."

This guy likes to catch fish in the lake to eat; he's probably done it a lot in the past.

Bai Ze then said, "Don't look at me like that. I've lived by the sea since I was a child, and I eat seafood all the time. Didn't the teacher just say that seafood doesn't contain these kinds of parasites?"

Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "What I say may not be accurate. After all, this is a wondrous and Primordial Land, and it's normal for things to happen that are beyond my imagination."

"..."

The sound of Bai Ze disappearing also vanished.

Old Round looked at everyone, scratched his head, and walked to the corner to sit down.

P. S.: I'll be updating a lot tomorrow, please vote! Thanks!
