"The Deep Fried Soft-shelled Turtle requires simple ingredients, and can be done by using any ordinary carp that has absorbed vitality. Of course, the higher the quality, the better the dish. In the upper realm, I've heard that the house of True Dragon Clan's clan leader has a carp that watches over the house, which has a hint of True Dragon bloodline. If it is used as the main ingredient, it'll be the best…"

Tom the black cat stood up. As it took the fresh fish retrieved by Fang Ning from the System Preservation Area, it tossed it and cut it in the air, cleaned its intestines, removed its bones, then put it into the deep fryer…

While it worked tirelessly, it kept making distressing comments. "If that Dragon Carp was used for this dish, I'm afraid that it'll be able to leave holy immortals and buddhas in awe. Above all, the so-called dragon's liver and phoenix's marrow is just a swank. Even for a prominent holy immortal, one won't easily get to taste food with True Dragon bloodline…"

Tom the cat was extremely sincere with its words, but ultimately, it was a cat…

Ever since it knew that Vigilante A had a dragon carp, it kept thinking about it. The only thing was that it never had the opportunity to, and never dared to pay a visit.

Currently, it had already bent down and became his mount, so it always looked for chances to encourage him, as it would be fine even if it got to taste only its tail…

Fang Ning smelled the fragrance of the oil. If it were not for his soul condition, he would probably be drooling right now, which would ruin his image.

At once, he made a difficult decision, and told the Sir, "Pass the body to me later."

"Why?"

"I notice that this foolish cat is behaving rather strangely, I must personally inspect on this." Fang Ning replied firmly.

"Clearly, you're being greedy. Besides, is my Master-level cooking skill not as good, have you not eaten enough?" Sir scorned.

"Damn it, so are you giving it to me or not? If I'm interested in its deep-fried dish, it means that there's a huge problem with the recipe it was talking about!" Fang Ning was dissatisfied.

"Fine, fine, eat it then." When the Sir heard what he said, it could only give in.

A brief moment later, Fang Ning sat at the dining table unruffled. He began tasting this freshly made Deep Fried Soft-shelled Turtle.

It was exquisite and tender. Accompanied by the fragrant oil, the soft-shelled turtle was a dish that truly belong in the upper realm. How could anyone on Earth deserve this?

"This recipe is indeed one of a kind…" Fang Ning nodded. "If that's the case, I happen to know a godlike chef. Make a copy of the recipe recorded in that book, I'll pass it to him."

Tom the black tiger drooled as it nodded its head hard, but it was secretly sighing to itself - 'Of those who are dressed in fine silk, none has ever raised a silkworm. (TN: This phrase originated from Zhang Yu's poem 'A Female Silkworm-raiser')


'I was the one who prepared the dish but I can't even taste it, what a tragedy…'

As soon as that thought crossed its mind, it heard Fang Ning say, "This dish is surprisingly unordinary, I'll deliver a hundred fresh fish to you later, prepare for a full fish feast. All of you will be able to taste it, it'll be good for your skills as well."

When Tom the black tiger heard that, it had mixed feelings. Though it had always been quite scheming, when it encountered such a sincere act, it became touched too.

After all, Vigilante A was a powerhouse who was high up above, why would he be so considerate towards his subordinates?

This was different from humans in the past. Due too how frail each individual was, those who with high rankings needed to buy support from the public as well, lest they were harmed by their followers one day. One should know that Zhang Fei, who was a match for ten thousand enemies was also taken by the head by two of his followers. On that account, the act of showing off can be seen everywhere.

Nonetheless, the way Vigilante A worded his sentence, it could tell that it was completely out of sincerity, and had no sense of pretense at all.

"Let me be clear, you're the one treating this time, the bill will be on you." Sir did not forget to remind him.

"Look at you, you're being so stingy. Know that a wise man once said, be willing to give; you'll have your returns if at first, you're willing to give. If you don't take good care of your disciples, how will they risk their lives for you?" Fang Ning was speechless.

"I only know that a wise man once said that even among brothers, accounts should be settled without ambiguity…" Sir spoke firmly.

Fang Ning could only take a step back, he could not be bothered to be calculative with Sir System with its stingy nature. He uttered, "Sure, bill it on me... It's not your first time doing it anyway."



Two days later, Bai Ruocang, who had just returned to Morality City, received an IP message from Vigilante A, who asked him to get some rest at home, and then invited him to a Hundred Fish Feast…

From what he heard, it was made according to a godlike cookbook from the Upper Realm, which carried an extraordinary taste.

After Bai Ruocang saw the message, and shut his computer, let out a deep breath, then buried a thought in his heart.

'The Venerable One treats me with the heart of a patriot, how can hatch plots against him like a narrow-hearted person, and use him?

'I must take my revenge myself!'

After all, he was still a youth with correct outlooks on the world, life, and values. Though a fire to avenge was raging in him, he was not treated like Lin Pingzhi (TN: A miserable character from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer), therefore his mind was not crooked yet.

"A Hundred Fish Feast? A godlike recipe from the upper realm? Could it be that dish? Damn it, how can it spread to the Lower Realm so quickly…" Upon hearing that, the Dragon Carp in the fish tank beside instantly mumbled.

"Senior Dragon Carp, does this dish have a significant history?"

"Indeed, there's a long history behind it. Whatever it is, I know that when this dish came out, many gluttonous people kept thinking about my robust body. If it wasn't because for the fact that I was working for the True Dragons, I would've been captured long ago…" Dragon Carp was mad. "That great green insect is a typical example. This can't be it, I'll have to let the host know about this, this feast can't be held…"

"Uh…" Bai Ruocang did not know to cry or to laugh when he heard that, he comforted, "Senior, stay calm. I believe that the Venerable One has plenty of subordinates, they probably have their own plans, we better not ruin their treat out of nowhere."

"Hmph, you're right. Damn it, it'll be great if my strength can recover in advance, I'll see if anyone still dares to eat fishes?!" Dragon Carp responded ferociously.

'This is quite an overbearing fish.' Bai Ruocang smiled bitterly as he thought.



A rooftop restaurant in a farm villa in Qi City.

On a gigantic redwood round table, all sorts of dishes were neatly arranged, all of which were related to fishes. There was grilled fish, fried fish, seared fish, stewed fish, boiled fish and more…

A group of people, oh no, it was a group of animals that were gathered together with two humans, and were ready to enjoy this sumptuous fish feast.

This included Dragon Carp that was presented on the table. The last time, it was forgotten, hence this time, Butler Zheng purposely invited it over, and placed it right at the center…

As a matter of course, that was impossible. Butler Zheng was not so senseless, he only placed Dragon Carp at a position closest to the Venerable One.

He did not do so to get on its good side, instead, he wanted to avoid any covet looks on it.

For example, the great green insect that was already drooling. It already had a white napkin on, and was holding tiny fork and knife with its front limbs. It was prepared to dig in.

It looked at the Hundred Fish Feast before him, then checked out Dragon Carp. Its intentions were crystal clear to the crowd.

The atmosphere seemed to be rather awkward. After Dragon Carp was presented to the table, Fang Ning immediately noticed this issue, but what could he do?

It was not like everyone should stop eating fish just because he took in a fish demon disciple, should they?

Although he even took in two dogs, he had never eaten dog meat…

"It's alright, you don't have to be worried about me. In reality, I'm of the True Dragon bloodline. Despite having a fish body, I'm actually born a dragon, I'm not an ordinary fish, so I'm not related to these fishes in any way… Suit yourselves." At the end of the day, Dragon Carp used to be a doorman, it was already good at examining people's moods. Looking at how the others were unable to resist, it pretended to be benevolent.

"Eh, Dragon Carp, since when have you become a dragon? That's truly heartening (a pity). (TN: In the original context in mandarin, the great green insect was actually being sarcastic, where it used a word that has the same Pinyin but a slightly different tone, which carries two different meanings)." The great green insect commented in a shocked manner.

The crowd only smiled without saying a word. Daqing was the only one who would believe this, who else would actually take this for real?
