Pu Ban City…
The atmosphere of the banquet was upbeat, both outside and inside of the Town Hall.
After all, this was an amazing victory, the most glorious military achievement achieved by the humankind in so many years. The amazing wine was served without limitation, and delicious dishes were always ready for everyone. Beautiful and muscular girls from the four wastelands danced passionately, and some boys joined while shouting and yelling, dancing with those girls amidst the applauses, stomps, and laughs.
Around ten miles away from the Town hall, in a river bend area, Yu Mu had smilingly raised a bonfire, with that huge pot of his floating upon the fire while glowing with a faint red glow. He carried this pot literally everywhere.
Water contained in the pot was already boiling. Some neatly cut herbs and roots had been rolling in the boiling water, releasing a dense herbal aroma. The smell released by the pot of boiling water also contained a slight trace of weird odor. Mixed together with the herbal aroma, it became an indescribable scent that would make anyone drool with a great appetite.
Holding a pair of bronze chopsticks, Yu Mu quickly knocked the edge of the pot while trying his best to reach his neck out and pop his eyes up, looking at the rapidly flowing river.
It was late at night, the sky was filled with dense clouds, and the light was dim. Yu Mu didn’t have any special eye power. Therefore, his eyesight could only reach to around two to three miles in the night, and was blurred, even though he had been trying his best.
”Come on, come on, this herb poison soup is boiling perfectly. As long as I throw fresh ingredients in, it will become so delicious…delicious…If I let it boil for another quarter of an hour, it would burn, and won’t be so delicious…Feng Xing, Feng Xing, can’t you be quicker? I am starving!”
Yu Mu’s stomach let out a thunder-like noise that sounded like the yawns of old frogs, deep yet resonant.
Emperor Shun had held a banquet, and that banquet surely wouldn’t be lacking delicious food. However, food served in the banquet was all ordinary, like grilled meat, and was cooked with normal condiments, without any special types. After all, Emperor Shun was the human emperor. How dare his cooks treat the guests with weird dishes like fried poisonous centipedes in his banquet?
Therefore, those ordinary foods on the banquet couldn’t satisfy Yu Mu’s strong desire of glutting himself with truly delicious food. This left him no choice but to drag Feng Xing to sneak out together and to cook for themselves.
A while later, a rapid wind swishing noise abruptly came from above the river. Following that, Feng Xing trod on a gust of wind and rushed over swiftly with a nearly ten-meter long, dark silver fish held in his arms.
”Dragon bone silver fish, a good one… Yu Mu, it’s a dragon bone silver fish!” Feng Xing yelled excitedly, and even had a stream of saliva flowing out of his mouth corners. He rushed over happily and threw that huge fish to Yu Mu from a long distance away, while the fish was still struggling intensely.
Yu Mu tried his best to reach his neck out as much as he could while swallowing his saliva with difficulty.
Dragon bone silver fish, as the name stated, this type of fish had dragon bloodline. In the eyes of great eaters like Yu Mu, any aquatic creature, weak or strong, was a top-grade food material. Not to mention the fact that silver fishes were already tastier than the other fishes, and for a silver fish with dragon bloodline, Yu Mu felt absolutely dying from starvation. His stomach squirmed so quickly as he merely tried to imagine its flavor, as if it was going to digest itself.
