Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 28 - 28: Radiant Cuisine

”This bastard.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, seeing the arrogant expression of the other party filled him with rage.

The fishermen had to work tirelessly from dawn till dusk just to catch some fish.

Being exploited was bad enough.

Yet they were accused of not working hard and pointed fingers at.

No wonder Luo Chang would behave this way, the wrong example from above.

Luo Zheng is no better.

But now he could only endure for the time being.

After all, Luo Zheng was not only a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist but also an Elder of the Dragon King Gang.

If they provoked him, it would mean antagonizing the entire Dragon King Gang.

So even though they were exploited by him, they had no choice but to bear it.

The other fishermen thought the same.

In no time, a group from the Dragon King Gang came up and took away cage after cage of fish, moving away a large amount of it.

In no time, the fish of many fishermen at the dock were taken away.

Only a group of distressed fishermen were left behind.

”Sigh, these damned people will get their comeuppance eventually.”

”The purchase price has dropped by thirty percent again, how can I support a family?”

”Theyʼre clearly eating our flesh and drinking our blood.”

Numerous fishermen gritted their teeth and cursed in whispers.

But their voices were low, fearing that the people from the Dragon King Gang would hear and bring great disaster upon them.

However, resentment and anger were building up.

”You guys are already better off, with minimal losses.”

”But today, I had a great haul, thinking Iʼd make a big profit.”

”If I had known about this, it would have been better to throw the fish back into the lake.”

Jiang Fan feigned helplessness and said.

”Yeah, Xiaojiang really took a huge loss this time, seven or eight cages of fish, truly a great catch, but unfortunately, they were all taken away at a low price by the Dragon King Gang, and he didnʼt make much money.”

”Isnʼt that right? Xiaojiang hadnʼt caught much fish in recent days, finally got lucky, but ran into Elder Luo.”

”Donʼt worry, there are still many fish in Yunmeng Lake, youʼll definitely have a good catch tomorrow.”

Hearing this, many fishermen smiled, their spirits lifted considerably, realizing someone else was even unluckier than them, which made them feel fortunate instead.

They all looked at Jiang Fan with sympathy.

At the same time, they felt closer to Jiang Fan emotionally.

Thatʼs how people are.

Respectful to the strong, close to the weak.

Sometimes showing a bit of weakness can earn goodwill and make others lower their guard.

”Thank you, uncles, for the comfort.”

Jiang Fan showed a shy smile.

He remembered this grudge, and sooner or later, he would take revenge on Luo Zheng.

Let them know that his fish werenʼt so easily taken.

......

After chatting with the fishermen for a while, Jiang Fan sailed his Upturned Boat back to the Osmanthus Village dock.

Before long, he returned home.

At this time, Su Weiwei had already prepared the meal, waiting for Jiang Fan to come back.

The house was filled with the rich aroma of food, whetting his appetite.

She was wearing a thin, form-fitting long robe, outlining perfect curves, practically bursting at the seams.

A beautiful, delicate face with smooth and fair skin.

After days of nourishment, she was like an increasingly ripe peach, mature and juicy.

Absolutely mouthwatering.

Every move, every smile, exuded infinite allure.

”Husband.”

”Hmm? Whatʼs that smell?”

Seeing Jiang Fan, Su Weiwei was delighted and quickly approached.

She soon noticed Jiang Fan holding a black pot in his hand.

The aroma was wafting from it, tantalizing her taste buds, making her eager to eat.

In all her life, it was the first time she smelled something so fragrant.

”This is a Treasure Fish I just caught—a Red-Scaled Treasure Fish.”

”I couldnʼt bear to sell it to the Fish Cage, so I cooked it.”

”Brought it back for you to share.”

Jiang Fan smiled slightly; in fact, before returning home, he had taken the black pot from his Space Ring. If he had carried it all the way, other fishermen would certainly have noticed, but once he reached home, it didnʼt matter.

”Red-Scaled Treasure Fish? Isnʼt this fish worth several dozen taels of silver?”

”Husband actually cooked it directly?”

Upon hearing this, Su Weiweiʼs eyes widened in disbelief, as this pot was made from food worth several dozen taels, which was extraordinarily valuable, affordable only to the Noble Families.

Generally speaking, when fishermen caught a Treasure Fish, they sold it for money to improve their householdʼs life.

No one would cook it as Jiang Fan did; it seemed like such a waste, excessively extravagant.

She felt quite heartbroken, losing those several dozen taels just like that.

”Thatʼs right, cooked it.”

”Our family currently doesnʼt lack money.”

”In the future, whenever we catch something good, weʼll keep it for ourselves instead of selling it to the Fish Cage.”

”What the Noble Families can eat, we can also eat.”

”Moreover, your health is weak, and this Treasure Fish can help nourish you.”

”It will also aid in having children later on.”

Jiang Fan said grandly.

”Phooey, I, Iʼm not that weak.”

”Strong as can be.”

”Itʼs just that husband, youʼre too formidable.”

Su Weiwei blushed deeply, the fair, delicate face turning red, recalling the things between them, making her shy once again.

However, she inwardly compromised.

Perhaps eating a Treasure Fish and nourishing herself could help her give birth to healthy children.

She eagerly anticipated it, hoping for at least seven or eight kids to make the house lively.

”Come, Iʼm already starving, letʼs eat.”

Jiang Fan pulled Su Weiwei to sit down, then opened the black pot, revealing the Red-Scaled Treasure Fish meat, which seemed to emit a faint red glow, looking incredibly mystical.

Meanwhile, the rich aroma quickly spread throughout the house, invigorating spirits and whetting appetites.

”Glowing cuisine?”

Su Weiweiʼs eyes widened in shock.

It was the first time she saw such a dish, surpassing her imagination.

The Treasure Fish truly lived up to its name.

With her husbandʼs level of cooking, for the dish to reach such a level could only mean the ingredients were top-tier.

Although she thought the food was too extravagant, costing several dozen taels for one dish, which no fisherman could even dream of, she couldnʼt resist the aromaʼs temptation. She picked up chopsticks, took a piece, and put it in her mouth.

”Oh my, this...”

Su Weiwei felt the fish melt in her mouth, bursting with fragrance, unlike anything sheʼd tasted before, it was like a celestial dish.

In an instant, she couldnʼt care about anything else, it was too delicious, she couldnʼt stop.

”Donʼt rush, thereʼs plenty.”

Seeing this, Jiang Fan laughed heartily and joined the feast.

In just over ten minutes, both of their bellies were full and round.

”Husband.”

”I feel like my body is on fire.”

”Why am I feeling this way?”

At that moment, Su Weiweiʼs face flushed red, her eyes dazed, looking at Jiang Fan, feeling a searing heat within her that she couldnʼt restrain.

Without a doubt, Red-Scaled Treasure Fish Meat was extremely nourishing for ordinary people.

Eating too much could lead to an inability to handle such nourishment.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll help you.”

Jiang Fan stepped forward, lifted Su Weiwei by the waist, and carried her into the bedroom.

Suddenly, the bed swayed, with cicadas chirping endlessly.
