Ten minutes after Zhang Yi ca downstairs, thanks to the whole family working together,
two grand dishes made with lobster from the Gourt World were finally ready!
"Coming through!"
At his dad’s shout, two lobster dishes, served on platters half a ter long, were finally brought to the table!
On the dining table, the Crystal Platter on the left held Gem Dragon lobster prepared as sashimi. The slices, as thin as a cicada’s wing, shimred under the light.
Each slice of at quivered slightly, like gelatin.
Beside it was freshly ground wasabi paste and a dipping sauce blended from a special soy sauce.
The sweet aroma of the seafood alone was enough to make one’s mouth water.
Even Zhang Yi, who normally didn’t care for raw food like sashimi, found himself wanting a taste. ’I wonder what this Gem Dragon lobster sashimi will taste like with the sauce!’
Zhang Yi picked up a slice with his chopsticks, dipped both sides into the sauce, and popped it into his mouth.
"Mmm!"
The texture was unbelievably springy, and a fresh, sweet flavor flooded his mouth.
"Delicious! This is so good!"
But after a few more slices,
Zhang Yi stopped eating it.
It wasn’t that he found it unappetizing—he was just more eager to try the Lava Lobster on the other platter.
On the other Crystal Platter, the lobster rested on a bed of assorted chilies and fragrant garlic.
The crimson lobster shells were coated in a seasoning that promised a numbing, spicy, savory, and aromatic experience.
Seeing Zhang Yi’s eagerness to try it, his dad perford the final step on the Lava Lobster.
He poured scalding hot oil over the dish!
"Here we go!"
SIZZLE!
The numbing, spicy, and savory aroma instantly filled the air around the table.
"Your grandpa loves spicy food, your other grandpa loves spicy food, and your mom and I both love spicy food. You can’t be the one who doesn’t!"
The oil sizzled, releasing a torrent of numbing and spicy aromas.
Seeing Zhang Yi’s apparent hesitation, his dad couldn’t help but smile and urge him on.
"Don’t underestimate !"
Zhang Yi tapped the shell of a lobster tail with his chopsticks.
The shell cracked open instantly, revealing the snow-white at inside, tinged with pink. It was steaming hot, the juices sizzling audibly.
At the sight, Zhang Yi couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up a pre-cut piece of tail at with his chopsticks and dipped it in the sauce.
"HISS—!"
As he bit into the plump lobster at, scalding juices burst forth, perfectly complented by the numbing, spicy, and savory sauce.
The heat was multi-layered, with an added hint of smoky char.
The flavor was simply irresistible; the more he ate, the more he wanted.
After that, Zhang Yi picked up several more pieces of Lava Lobster tail at.
He ate and praised at the sa ti:
"As expected of you, Dad. Your cooking skills are just amazing!"
"This dish is so delicious... if you score it out of a hundred, the ingredients account for forty points, and the other sixty are all because of your amazing skill!"
Hearing these words from his beloved son, his dad, who had been toiling away for most of the evening, broke into a wide smile.
"So it wasn’t a waste for to spend half the evening making these two dishes!"
"For these two dishes, apart from the recipe your grandpa got from the Gourt World, I also made so special adjustnts based on how we normally eat!"
His mom, seeing him struggling with the spiciness but unable to stop eating,
brought a glass of lemonade over to Zhang Yi.
"Thanks, Mom!"
Zhang Yi took the lemonade and downed two large gulps.
"You don’t need to thank . As long as you study hard, that’s the best way to repay !"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi had a bad feeling. ’Oh no.’
Sure enough,
his mom continued, "Your teachers already told !"
"On this mock exam, you were first in your class and first in the entire school again!"
"With such great results, of course we have to reward you!"
"Tonight’s feast is your dad’s reward, and these two Divine Domain Cards are my reward for you!"
His mom handed Zhang Yi the two Divine Domain Cards she had already prepared.
Faced with his mom’s enthusiasm, Zhang Yi couldn’t refuse. He happily took the two Divine Domain Cards.
Seeing Zhang Yi take the two Divine Domain Cards, his dad said,
"Next month is your school’s final exams. They’ll determine who from your school gets a spot in the University Alliance Training Camp."
"I’ve already spoken to the school. This ti, our military will jointly supervise the plane with the school during the final exam to prevent any accidents."
"That Li Family you had a conflict with before? Their Patriarch already had soone send over an apology gift."
"He said he’d wanted to have his grandson co and apologize to you in person, but he could never find you."
"That’s why the gift was sent to ."
"I took a look, and it’s a decent gift. The gesture seems sincere enough."
"It’s a Four-star Professional Card: [Elf Druid]. It includes everything for the Elf Druid Profession, from its establishnt to its developnt, along with all the accompanying Skills."
"It’ll be useful for you right up until you beco a Ninth Transformation Demigod."
Only after his dad spoke did Zhang Yi rember Li Boyang, that rival he had so soundly defeated.
He had been so busy preparing for the November mock exams and obtaining 0.5% of the Natural Divine Position
that with so much going on, he had long since forgotten all about Li Boyang.
Now that his na was brought up again, Zhang Yi found that he didn’t really care much.
He and Li Boyang were no longer in the sa league.
"Since the Li Family took the initiative to make ands, I won’t bother attacking him, as long as Li Boyang doesn’t provoke again."
Accepting the Four-star Professional Card [Elf Druid], Zhang Yi readily gave his word to let Li Boyang off the hook.
In Zhang Yi’s opinion,
he had already plundered a Five-star Divine Domain Card, [Well of Life], during their Divine Battle, and he had also won a Four-star Building Card, [Bloodline Evolution Pool], from a bet.
Adding this new Four-star Professional Card, [Elf Druid], sent as an apology,
the benefits he could squeeze out of Li Boyang had reached their absolute limit. There was nothing more to be gained.
He was only letting the guy go.
It wasn’t as if he had forgiven and forgotten.
If Li Boyang ever provoked him again in the future, once they graduated from high school, the protections afforded by the Divine Domain Protection Technique would be much weaker.
At that point, he could just find a place sowhere outside the Star Realm and grind Li Boyang’s bones to dust.
「After dinner」
Zhang Yi returned to his bedroom, entered his Divine Domain Connection Pod, and logged back into his Divine Realm.
[Prompt]:Logging into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...
[Prompt]:Identity verification successful...
[Prompt]:Descending consciousness into your Divine Realm...
[Prompt]:Welco, great God of Nature and Elf God, to your Divine Realm!
Zhang Yi took out the Divine Domain Cards his mom had given him to see what they were.
Four-star Divine Domain Card [Racial Reproduction * 1000]: After activating this card, designate one Clan within the Divine Realm. For a short period, that Clan’s reproduction rate will increase, adding approximately 1,000 new mbers.
