Chapter 2241 - 2223: Qianyu Swimming Dragon Beast
"That’s right, although we haven’t gone down yet, I can sense the threat below. It seems highly likely that this place is connected to a terrifying unknown realm, filled with an aura of the underworld, which I can easily perceive," the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger earnestly replied. He didn’t want Lin Feng to take risks, so he spoke the truth honestly!
Hearing the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger say this again, Lin Feng finally confirmed one thing. As a human, he might not have the exaggerated sense that the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger does in certain aspects, but since the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger could recognize it, it meant the danger here was indeed deadly. However, now he couldn’t afford to take such a big risk.
With this thought, Lin Feng decided not to dwell on it any longer. He nodded to the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger, ignoring the Realm of the Dead below. He didn’t want any mishaps at this point since Earth was still counting on him, and his responsibilities were immense.
"Alright, we won’t explore further," Lin Feng said to the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger, nodding. He believed the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger wouldn’t joke about something like this.
After speaking, he waved his hand and sent the Dark Flame Soul-Devouring Tiger back to the Cave Heaven Mansion, then turned and left.
After leaving this dark mountain, Lin Feng found himself with nothing much to do, as none of the girls had contacted him, and he didn’t know what to do. So, he thought of taking Xia Lalan and Moyan for a stroll in the city. Since their grand wedding, he hadn’t spent time alone with them, so it was a good opportunity to enjoy some leisure together.
Finding a nearby large city, Lin Feng instantly used Thousand Miles in One Step, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Fengcheng, the largest city in the eastern region of the Dharma Profound Immortal Realm, was bustling with activity. Standing outside the city, one could feel the hustle and bustle. Lin Feng summoned the two women from the Cave Heaven Mansion, which surprised them as they didn’t understand why Lin Feng brought them here.
"You two have been with me for quite some time, but it’s been hard to have moments alone with you. Now that there’s time, I wanted to take you out for a bit," Lin Feng said gently, seeing the puzzled expressions of the two women. In this regard, he felt he owed them a lot and wanted to spend time with Moyan and Xia Lalan while he had the chance.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
Both women were delighted to hear Lin Feng’s words, each responding with a cheerful exclamation as they followed closely behind him, asserting their presence.
The three entered the city. Although their appearances were outstanding, unlike last time, their arrival didn’t attract much attention.
The trio walked and watched along the way, purchasing all sorts of interesting and playful items. They even encountered some unique plants being sold, which were quite unusual. For instance, flowers that could eat insects, those releasing a fragrant aroma to aid sleep, and even flowers that could ward off thieves—varieties were endless and fascinating. Lin Feng and the two women were very interested in these plants and bought quite a few.
As they strolled, the three suddenly caught a whiff of a unique aroma from some dishes, which piqued their interest. They exchanged a glance and headed towards a large restaurant named Donglai Residence.
A waiter noticed Lin Feng and his companions’ remarkable demeanor and immediately approached them, "Are you three visiting us for the first time? Please, come upstairs!"
Saying this, he courteously led them to the upper floor. Lin Feng didn’t object and accompanied the two women upstairs, finding a seat by the window.
"What would you like to eat? Donglai Residence has a wide selection of signature dishes, both meat, and vegetarian. If there’s something you particularly like, our chef can also prepare it according to your instructions to ensure your satisfaction," the waiter warmly offered, recognizing that Lin Feng and his companions were no ordinary patrons and likely well-off.
"We don’t know what to order. Why don’t you bring us a table of your most special dishes? We’ll give them a try," Lin Feng casually replied to the waiter.
"Certainly, esteemed guests. Rest assured, I will make sure you are satisfied," the waiter responded and left.
"I’m very curious about that aroma just now!"
"Yes, it was incredibly fragrant. I’ve never encountered such a tantalizing scent before," Xia Lalan and Moyan exclaimed curiously as soon as the waiter left. They were genuinely intrigued by the aroma they had just experienced, finding it far more captivating than anything they had encountered, even more so than Lin Feng’s cooking.
"Indeed, I am quite curious too," Lin Feng admitted, equally intrigued by the source of the intense fragrance.
With nothing else to do, the trio gazed out the window, watching the bustling crowds below. They felt as though they were in a different world, having embarked on the path of cultivation. Such chances to enjoy life had become rare, and as the saying goes, ’to steal a moment of leisure in a busy life’ aptly described their situation. They had been so engulfed in their duties that moments like these became incredibly precious.
Soon, the waiter returned with the dishes, introducing each one with care.
"This is the Twisted Steamed Dragon Fish, our specialty at Donglai Residence. The dragon fish must be alive to capture such flavor. You might not know this, but the place that produces the dragon fish is more than three hundred miles away from here, and dragon fish die as soon as they leave the water. Catching a live dragon fish isn’t something just anyone can do. Please enjoy."
"This is Silver Flower Golden Leaf, made with Silver Flower Grass and vine leaves of the Golden Leaf Vine. It requires extremely high skill in controlling the heat—too much or too little ruins the dish, demanding great culinary expertise!"
"This is the Golden Dragon Ground Python, created using a special kind of ground serpent. It’s a delicately flavored mountain delicacy with tender meat devoid of any fishiness!"
...
The shop assistant’s introduction of each dish left Lin Feng and the two women wide-eyed with delight. None of them expected to encounter a chef of such caliber in this tavern, bringing out the best in every dish. Even if Lin Feng were to cook himself, he wouldn’t match this chef’s level.
As Lin Feng and the two women listened intently, the shop assistant introduced each dish with great enthusiasm. When introducing the final dish, Lin Feng and the two women suddenly asked, "What is this dish?"
"This is Donglai Residence’s signature dish, Dragon Roaming Out of the Sea!" The shop assistant, seeing Lin Feng and the two women so eager, answered proudly, and continued to explain: "The Dragon Roaming Out of the Sea is exceptional, made from the meat of a rare demon beast called the Qianyu Swimming Dragon. The Qianyu Swimming Dragon is extremely rare and quite powerful itself, so anyone lucky enough to taste this delicacy is indeed fortunate. Just yesterday, a Qianyu Swimming Dragon arrived; if you three visit tomorrow, you might not get to try this dish."
Upon hearing the shop assistant’s introduction, Lin Feng and the two women grew curious about the Qianyu Swimming Dragon, eager to know what it really was and why it was so rare. However, before they could ask, the shop assistant immediately bowed and ran off, called to another room.
Seeing the shop assistant leave due to being busy, the three of them didn’t mind too much. They knew what it was, and they could inquire from someone else. Then, the three of them began to savor the Dragon Roaming Out of the Sea, the unique taste captivating them all.
"We should catch some later on, and let Sister Wan’er taste it."
"Such delicious food shouldn’t be forgotten by Wan’er and the others."
Xia Lalan and Moyan spoke simultaneously, surprising each other, and then laughing together, marveling at their shared thought process.
"Alright, let’s take a look a bit later." Lin Feng replied promptly after hearing Xia Lalan and Moyan’s suggestion. In fact, he had been thinking the same thing all along.
Before long, the three of them finished all the food they ordered and were very satisfied with the meal. They called for the waiter to settle the bill.
While paying, Lin Feng casually asked, "Waiter, do you know where the Qianyu Swimming Dragon can be found? What does it look like?"
"In response to you, the Qianyu Swimming Dragon resides in Qianyu Lake, but they are exceedingly rare, and every Qianyu Swimming Dragon Beast is a powerful Demon King. It’s best not to provoke them." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s query, the waiter answered without hesitation, knowing such information was common knowledge in Fengcheng, and there was no need to conceal it.
"The rest is your tip." Lin Feng heard the waiter’s answer and was very pleased, tossing a gold ingot weighing five hundred taels before leaving with the two women.
"This..."
The shop assistant stared at the gold ingot, in disbelief that this was real...
In just a few breaths, Lin Feng brought the two women to Qianyu Lake. Gazing at the rippling waves, the three flew directly to the center of the lake, then walked on water.
With their prowess, moving through the lake was as effortless as walking on land, the water unable to touch their bodies. Before long, they reached the lake’s bottom, where they saw dozens of demon beasts resembling hundred-jin giant pythons coiled together, creating a terrifying sight!
For reasons unknown, those dozens of Qianyu Swimming Dragon Beasts saw Lin Feng and the others but dared not budge, seemingly meeting their nemesis, leaving Lin Feng and the others bewildered, perplexed by the situation.
While the trio was puzzled, suddenly, from those giant Qianyu Swimming Dragon Beasts emerged an elderly man appearing over a hundred years old, who approached Lin Feng and them.
"Young warriors, my clan of Qianyu Swimming Dragon Beasts reproduces here with great difficulty; please spare us. I thank you sincerely," the elder said, bowing, his demeanor reminiscent of a solemn plea for mercy.
Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others were baffled, not understanding why the elder spoke such words. Lin Feng took a step forward, asking the elder, "Old sir, may I know why you say this?"
