“Take it easy, soon all my cooking will be ready soon,” replied Lu Zhan as he continued cutting the fish meat.
While continuing to cut through the flesh of this fish, Lu Zhan unceasingly admired this Heilong-given knife. But he could only mutter inwardly for fear that Lin Chong Wei would nag again. “This knife turned out to be really great. Besides being very sharp, it turns out that this knife has fire energy that will directly heat the surface of the meat that I will cut. This way then this frozen fish will be easier I cut.”
After five minutes, all the food Lu Zhan cooked was finally finished. Lu Zhan directly placed a large plate in front of Lin Chong Wei.
Lin Chong Wei immediately closed his eyes to enjoy the fragrant aroma that came out from this processed fish meat. This aroma instantly aroused Lin Chong Wei's appetite.
“Harum once smell this food. What is the name of this food?” asked Lin Chong Wei who was ready to hold the chopsticks in his hand.
“This food is called Gohu Fish, this is one of the recipes given by Master Long Bai. I'll bet that the taste of this food is better than the processed taste of fish meat that you often eat at that roadside restaurant,” Lu Zhan replied.
Lin Chong Wei's eyes instantly twinkled like a Beast finding its prey. He then took the fish with the chopsticks in his hand. “I'll taste this food. If it doesn't taste good, I won't give you free groceries anymore.”
“Then what if the taste of my food turned out to be very good?” reply Lu Zhan asked.
“I'll give you free groceries for six months. Whaddya think? It should have been a fair enough bet,” replied Lin Chong Wei staring at Lu Zhan.
“We agree. Get ready to give me free groceries for six months. Hehe ...” said Lu Zhan grinning.
Lin Chong Wei directly ate the piece of fish meat that was already in front of his mouth. The first mouthful was ordinary but there was a strange sensation that made me want to continue eating the piece of fish meat again and again. Until it did not taste a large plate of Gohu fish, it was spent by Lin Chong Wei in just ten minutes.
“Gohu this fish has a very unique flavor. I like diving into the sea while eating this fish meat, very fresh and very delicious. There is a sour, savory and slightly sweet taste. All these flavors become perfect when combined with fresh fish meat. This cuisine is really delicious. I admit defeat,” said Lin Chong Wei putting down his chopsticks.
“It looks like Lu Zhan made a really good breakfast. Is there any left for me?”
Heilong suddenly came out of his wooden house and shocked the two of them. Actually he had been up since earlier, but he was curious how the outcome of the bet between Lu Zhan and Lin Chong Wei was so he decided not to go out first and look from the window until their bet was completed.
“Just relax Master, I have prepared a large portion for Master,” Lu Zhan replied while carrying a plate larger than the plate he gave Lin Chong Wei. “I'll bring this food inside. When Master eats, Lin Chong Wei and I will clean the courtyard of this house so that we can leave immediately after Master finishes eating.”
Lu Zhan immediately brought the enormous plate into the house and placed it on a table in the living room, after that he directly came out of the house leaving Heilong alone.
“Teacher, Dao Xue Lian do you two want to accompany me to breakfast. The taste of the food Lu Zhan made was not inferior to the taste of the food I cooked. You two will definitely regret it if you don't taste it,” Heilong exclaimed.
Dao Xue Lian and Li Ziqi went straight out of the Heilong Soul World after hearing the taste of the food Lu Zhan made was not inferior to the taste of the food Heilong made.
The three of them instantly ate the Gohu fish voraciously. Li Ziqi and Dao Xue Lian looked overjoyed while eating this Gohu fish because Heilong had indeed never made them both of these foods.

After thirty minutes, the morning finally arrived. Although sunlight cannot enter the middle of the Northland Forest which is dominated by large trees, but they could tell that it was early morning when they saw the large leaves on the top of the tree were shining because they were reflected in the sunlight.
“Are you two ready to go now?” ask Heilong.
“We're ready, Master. All of my cookware I've saved back and Lin Chong Wei's brother has also swept the courtyard section of this house,” Lu Zhan replied.
“Alright then we will go directly to the Eastern Continent,” said Heilong.
Heilong instantly made a Beast summoning magic and summoned a Gremlin from his Soul World. Lu Zhan looked a little frightened as this was the first time he had seen a Gremlin.
“Do not be afraid! This beast is already tame because he is my Beast mount. The three of us will go to the Eastern Continent driving a Gremlin,” Heilong said looking at Lu Zhan whose body trembled slightly.
Lu Zhan walked up to the Gremlin and tried to touch the forehead to make sure that the Beast was completely tamed. But beyond belief, the Gremlin actually teased Lu Zhan.
“Roar .. ”
The Gremlin instantly roared very loudly as Lu Zhan's right hand was about to touch his forehead. Lu Zhan immediately ran away and hid behind a huge tree.
“Hahaha …. ”
Heilong and Lin Chong Wei laughed out loud when they saw Lu Zhan running away in fear because they both knew that the Gremlin was only playing tricks on Lu Zhan.
“Come! My beast is really tame, he was just teasing you. You're a freak, a chef but afraid of a Beast. If you're afraid of the Beast, how do you get the meat you'll use to cook. Can you buy meat in the middle of a forest like this?” reprimand Heilong.
“Lu Zhan, what Sir said is true. This beast is indeed tame because I have known this Beast for seven years when I practiced martial arts with Master. You're a man so you have to be brave when you meet a Beast. Just imagine what if there was a Beast that suddenly appeared and wanted to attack Li Mei, would you also run away in fear like this?” exclaimed Lin Chong Wei who was trying to dispel Lu Zhan's fear.
Lu Zhan gathered all his courage after getting a reprimand from Heilong and Lin Chong Wei. He walked up to the Gremlin with slightly trembling footsteps.
Lu Zhan paused for a moment to dispel all his fear while in front of the Gremlin. He extended his hand slowly to touch the Gremlin's forehead after all the fear he had of him disappeared.
This time the Gremlin did not tease him anymore so Lu Zhan could calmly touch the Gremlin's forehead.
“I've finally managed to conquer my fear of a Beast,” Lu Zhan said laughing happily.
“Then we all have to go up to the back of the Gremlin,” Heilong said.
The three of them finally climbed onto the Gremlin's back. Before flying, the Gremlin first uses its power to protect Heilong's rich house and hide the existence of the wooden house so as not to be damaged by the inhabitants of this forest.
After everything was finished, the Gremlin immediately flew towards the Eastern Continent.
