The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 178 Gossamer Shark Sashimi
Everyone was not surprised when they heard Jiu Shen's words because they already knew of his plan to establish his own sect since a month ago. Moreover, Jiu Shen did not even bother to hide this news from going around, so for no more than a week, almost everyone in Beltran City already knew what he was doing.
“Wine Master Jiu, we will definitely come to celebrate with you after your sect is officially established.”
“Really! How could we miss such a great opportunity? We will definitely be there, Wine Master Jiu!”
“Hitung aku!”
Everyone within the beast fighting arena immediately revealed their good intentions. Who wouldn't want an opportunity like this to deepen their relationship with Jiu Shen? They all knew that Jiu Shen was not just an ordinary person and his strength was also very deep. Such a person was destined to become a great character in the entire Profound Dragon Continent! They would do anything in their power to get 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 was not surprised by this. He then glanced at the emperor who was now looking at him with a friendly smile. Seeing this, Jiu Shen nodded her head at him as she said. “Elyk, I have not thanked you for your help over the past month, so to say thank you, join me here in the arena. I'll let you be the first to taste the dishes I made.”
When the crowd heard how Jiu Shen had just casually called out the name of the emperor without batting an eye, they felt a little stunned. They finally realized at this moment that Jiu Shen was really close to the emperor, and the two even seemed to treat each other equally.
Emperor Elyk laughed out loud when he heard Jiu Shen's words. Even before he entered into the arena of fighting beasts, he had already smelled the fragrant aroma of the cuisine Jiu Shen had made, and it became even clearer after he entered the arena.
“Then, I will not hold back, Wine Master Jiu. Hahaha!” Emperor Elyk leaped onto the arena and he could not help but close his eyes in delight as he smelled the delicious scent of water surrounding him. It felt like swimming in the ocean.
When he opened his eyes, he was faced with various kinds of appetizing seafood that made his eyes sparkle with excitement. He had already eaten many delicious dishes, but the aroma of the dishes made by Jiu Shen was many times denser and more dazzling than he had tasted before.
Jiu Shen gestured for the emperor to follow him as he looked at the latter's excited gaze.
“Elyk, come. It's the best dish I've ever cooked, and I call it Shark Gossamer Sashimi. Please.” Jiu Shen pointed his index finger at the plate containing thinly sliced shark meat that looked like transparent leaves.
The thinly sliced shark meat was covered by a fragrant sauce made from Mystic Jade and other high-level ingredients. Just from looking at it, the emperor's eyes were already visibly drunk and he didn't even wait for Jiu Shen to speak as he took a fork on the table before lightly poking at the sashimi.
Emperor Elyk felt the fork easily pierce through the shark meat and he felt a little surprised. He knew that this shark meat came from a high-level water beast and the meat from such a creature was clearly not easy to penetrate even if it was just a thin piece!
Shimmering shark oil flowed from the pierced portion of the shark's flesh and produced waves of seductive scents that stirred up the emperor's hunger.
Seeing this, Emperor Elyk impatiently stuffed the shark meat into his mouth, and when it touched his tongue, he felt like he was electrocuted.
He did not move for a moment before he started chewing the shark meat in his mouth with an indescribable look of admiration on his face.
Gulp down.
“Lezat!” The Emperor muttered as he licked his lips without paying attention to his image. If there was no one else, he would also lick the fork he was holding. Unfortunately, all eyes were on him, so he could only remove these thoughts from his head.
Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he saw how the emperor behaved. ‘It is only made using some low level materials. If I have the flesh of a god beast, then it will taste much better and the increase in its cultivation is also not small.” He muttered inwardly and subconsciously he looked for the figure of the fat white cat among the crowd.
Ice in her cat form felt a strange look that made her scalp tingled in fear. And with a look of caution on his face, he fiercely rose from the ground as he glared at Jiu Shen. “Meong!”
Jiu Shen grinned when he saw Ice's reaction. He then turned his attention back to the emperor.
Emperor Elyk lost his dignified demeanor as he stuffed piece after piece of shark meat into his mouth nonstop.
The Emperor had already forgotten the fact that he was being watched by many pairs of eyes. His attention was only focused on the overwhelming taste that covered his tongue and mouth.
‘I think shark meat will be chewy and hard to swallow. I never thought that it would be this delicious and even seemed to be melting every time it touched my tongue. Excellent cooking skills! Even the imperial chef in my imperial palace cannot cook such a dish. Sigh.’ The emperor sighed in his heart. He did not even realize that he had finished the entire plate. This made him dumbfounded and a little embarrassed.
He had completely lost his composure after eating the food cooked by Jiu Shen!
Cough! Cough!
The Emperor coughed to hide his embarrassment. He then laughed as he said with awe that was not hidden. “Hahaha! Wine Master Jiu, I can't believe that you actually hid 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 tasted my dishes, 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! This dish should be tasted by everyone! Hahaha!”
Upon hearing his reply, Jiu Shen glanced at the crowd and announced in a calm voice. “Everything, you've heard it, so please come here and taste the dishes I cooked.”
“Ah, finally! I can eat dishes cooked by myself by Wine Master Jiu!”
“I've been holding back for some time. Food here I come!”
Everyone cheered as they jumped into the arena with excited faces.
This ferocious beast battle arena had already been renovated and even after the crowd had joined the emperor and Jiu Shen above it, it was still rather spacious.
Seeing the thousands of people enjoying the food he cooked, Jiu Shen felt a little proud in his heart. He then saw a fat white cat pacing around the arena with a look of disdain on his face.
“Little Tiger, come. I've prepared something else for you.” Jiu Shen grabbed Ice which made him squirm from his grasp.
“Human stinks, I don't like drinking milk this time! I want to eat the food you cook! Meow!” Ice kicked his lower leg and crossed his two front legs while looking at Jiu Shen with a dissatisfied face.
There was already a trace of saliva in the corner of his mouth.
Jiu Shen patted the chubby Ice head as he said. “Little Tiger, I won't give you milk this time. Look, this is what I've prepared for you.”
In Jiu Shen's hand was a large plate with a thick piece of shark meat lying in the middle. It is cooked in a style similar to that of a grilled steak, and it was filled with meat juices that produced an incredible flesh scent that made the fat cat nose on Jiu Shen's left arm twitch continuously.
The saliva trail at the corner of his mouth flowed like a stream, and his large and adorable eyes stared straight at the large piece of shark meat. “Scent man! Unhand me! I want that! I want that shark meat! Meow!” He violently struck Jiu Shen's arm with his claws, but he did not dare to use his claws because he did not want to injure Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen removed the fat cat from his embrace and Ice immediately jumped towards the large plate he held in his right hand.
With a nimble movement, Ice grabbed a thick piece of shark meat with its claws before biting it.
“Ahh! I like this! Meow!” The big eyes of the fat white cat lit up as he chewed the thick piece of shark meat vigorously.
Seeing the adorable appearance of the fat white cat, Jiu Shen smiled warmly as he gently stroked her thick fur.
