Chapter 178 - Shark Gossamer Sashimi

Everyone was not surprised when they heard Jiu Shen’s words because they had already known his plans of establishing his own sect since a month ago. Besides, Jiu Shen didn’t even bother to conceal this news from circulating, so in not more than a week, almost everyone in Beltran City already knew what he was up to.

"Wine Master Jiu, we will definitely come to celebrate with you after your sect is formally established."

"Right! How could we miss such a grand occasion? We will certainly be there, Wine Master Jiu!"

"Count me in!"

Everyone inside the beast fighting arena immediately expressed their good intentions. Who wouldn’t want this kind of opportunity to further deepen their relationship with Jiu Shen? All of them knew that Jiu Shen was not just an ordinary person and his strength was also unfathomable deep. Such a person was destined to become a great character in the whole Profound Dragon Continent! They will do anything in their power to be acquainted with such a man...

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly after hearing their words.

He had already expected this kind of response from the crowd, so he wasn’t surprised by this. He then glanced at the emperor who was now looking at him with a friendly smile. Seeing this, Jiu Shen nodded his head at him as he said. "Elyk, I have yet to thank you for your help during the past month, so to express my thanks, join me here in the arena. I will let you be the first person to taste the dishes that I have made."

When the crowd heard how Jiu Shen had just casually called the emperor’s name without even batting an eye, they felt a bit stunned. They finally realized at this time that Jiu Shen was definitely close to the emperor, and the two even seemed to treat each other as equals.

Emperor Elyk laughed heartily when he heard Jiu Shen’s words. Even before he came inside the beast fighting arena, he had already smelled the fragrant aroma of the dishes that Jiu Shen made, and it became even more apparent after he stepped inside the arena.

"In that case, I won’t hold myself back, Wine Master Jiu. Hahaha!" Emperor Elyk leaped on top of the arena and he could not help but close his eyes in delight when he smelled the flavourful aquatic fragrance that surrounded him. He felt as if he was swimming in the middle of the ocean waves.

When he opened his eyes, he was faced with different kinds of mouthwatering seafood delicacies which made his eyes flash with excitement. He had already eaten a lot of tasty dishes, but the aroma of the dishes made by Jiu Shen was many times denser and more enchanting than those he had tasted before.

Jiu Shen gestured for the emperor to follow him when he saw the latter’s eager look.

"Elyk, come. This is the best dish among what I’ve cooked, and I call it the Shark Gossamer Sashimi. Please." Jiu Shen pointed his index finger at a dish filled with thinly sliced shark meat that looked like transparent leaves.

The thinly sliced shark meat was covered by a fragrant sauce made from the Mystic Jade and other high-level ingredients. Just from looking at it, the emperor’s eyes already had a drunken look and he didn’t even wait for Jiu Shen to speak as he took the fork on the table before lightly poking the sashimi.

Emperor Elyk felt the fork easily penetrating through the shark meat and he could not help but feel a bit surprised. He knew that this shark meat came from a high-level aquatic savage beast and the meat of such a creature was definitely not easy to pierce through even though it was only a thin piece!

Glistening shark oil flowed down from the pierced part of the shark meat and it produced a wave of tantalizing aroma that evoked the hunger of the emperor.

Looking at this, Emperor Elyk impatiently shoved the shark meat in his mouth, and just as it touched his tongue, he felt as if he was electrocuted.

He was motionless for a brief moment before he started to chew the shark meat in his mouth with an indescribable look of fascination on his face.

Gulp.

"Delicious!" The emperor muttered as he licked his lips without even caring for his image. If there wasn’t anyone else, he would have also licked the fork he was holding. Unfortunately, all eyes were on him, so he could only remove this thought from his head.

Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he saw how the emperor behaved. ’This is only made using some low-level ingredients. If I had a god beast’s meat, then it would have tasted much better and the increase in cultivation wouldn’t be small either..’ He muttered in his heart and he unconsciously searched for the figure of a fat white cat among the crowd.

Ice who was in her cat form felt a strange gaze that made her scalp tingle in alarm. And with a wary look on her face, she fiercely rose from the ground as she glared at Jiu Shen. "Meow!"

Jiu Shen smirked when he saw Ice’s reaction. He then shifted his attention back to the emperor.

Emperor Elyk lost his dignified demeanor as he shoved pieces after pieces of shark meat in his mouth without end.

"Delicious..." He muttered once again, but this time, his voice was quivering with emotions.

The emperor had already forgotten the fact that he was being watched by countless pairs of eyes. His attention was only focused on the extraordinary taste that covered his tongue and mouth.

’I thought the shark meat would be chewy and difficult to swallow. I never thought that it would be this succulent and it even seemed as if it would melt every time it touches my tongue. Such excellent cooking skills! Even the imperial chefs in my imperial palace could not cook such dishes. Sigh.’ The emperor sighed in his heart. He didn’t even realize that he had already finished the entire plate. This made him stunned and a bit embarrassed.

He actually lost his cool after eating the food cooked by Jiu Shen!

Cough! Cough!

The emperor coughed to hide his embarrassment. He then laughed as he said with unconcealed admiration. "Hahaha! Wine Master Jiu, I can’t believe that you are actually hiding such godly cooking skills. You have hidden your talent well. Hahaha!"

Jiu Shen smiled at this obvious flattery. He then replied in a calm voice. "Elyk, since you’ve already tasted my dish, I hope you don’t mind if I allow everyone to come and join us here."

Emperor Elyk chuckled and shook his head. "Not at all! These dishes must be tasted by everyone! Hahaha!"

After hearing his response, Jiu Shen glanced at the crowd and announced in a calm voice. "Everyone, you’ve heard him, so please come here and have a taste of the dishes I cooked."

"Ah, finally! I can get to eat the dishes personally cooked by Wine Master Jiu!"

"I’ve been holding myself back for quite some time. Food here I come!"

Everybody cheered as they jumped onto the arena with excited faces.

This beast fighting arena was already remodeled and even after the crowd had joined the emperor and Jiu Shen on top, it was still a bit spacious.

Looking at the thousands of people enjoying the food he cooked, Jiu Shen felt a bit proud in his heart. He then saw a fat white cat strutting on the arena with a look of disdain on its face.

"Little Tiger, come. I’ve already prepared something else for you." Jiu Shen grabbed Ice which made her squirm from his grasps.

"Stinky human, I don’t like to drink milk this time! I want to eat the food you cooked! Meow!" Ice kicked her lower legs and crossed her two front paws while looking at Jiu Shen with a dissatisfied face.

There was already a trail of drool at the corner of her mouth.

Jiu Shen patted the chubby head of Ice as he said. "Little Tiger, I won’t be giving you milk this time. Look, this is what I have prepared for you."

On Jiu Shen’s hand was a large plate with a thick piece of shark meat lying at the very center. It was cooked in a style similar to a seared steak, and it was overflowing with meat juices that produced an exquisite meaty aroma that made the nose of the fat cat in Jiu Shen’s left arm twitch continuously.

The trail of drool at the corner of her mouth streamed like the gushing of a river, and her big and adorable eyes were staring straight at the big piece of shark meat. "Stinky human! Release me! I want that! I want that shark meat! Meow!" She fiercely smacked Jiu Shen’s arm with her paws, but she didn’t dare use her claws since she didn’t want to injure Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen released the fat cat from his embrace and Ice immediately leaped towards the huge plate he was holding in his right hand.

With nimble movements, Ice grabbed the thick piece of shark meat with her paws before taking a big bite out of it.

"Ahh! I like this! Meow!" The huge eyes of the fat white cat lit up as she munched on the thick piece of shark meat with gusto.

Looking at the fat white cat’s adorable look, Jiu Shen smiled warmly while stroking her thick fur gently.
