This is the Bijou Sea, where the weather changes are as unpredictable as child's play, with no apparent pattern.
Yet, Xiaoqi seed deflated as not a single demon beast's aura had been found despite so much ti passing.
With a slight bow of his head, he looked at Chen Xuan, noting that he seed to be asleep and dared not disturb him.
He let out a sigh!
And continued the search.
"Little guy."
Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly, thinking it's not so easy to find demon beasts. The Bijou Sea is vast, and even if there are many beasts, they're not going to be everywhere.
Half a day later!
Originally drowsy, Xiaoqi suddenly widened his eyes.
The next mont, with a swish, he flew out from the Double-winged Celestial Ship!
A hundred ters away, a sea beast finally appeared, though it was a Late-Stage Profound Realm.
"Co out!"
Xiaoqi transford his fingers into a sword, sending sword qi raining down upon the demon beast in the sea.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The sea surface within a kiloter radius instantly boiled.
The powerful sword qi forced the water to retreat, forming vacuum vortices.
A black fish-like sea beast of dozens of ters appeared before Xiaoqi.
But it was already covered in wounds.
Its massive body bore fist-sized injuries, from which blood gushed out like columns.
"Roar!"
Instantly, heavily wounded by Xiaoqi, the sea beast did not flee, instead incited its ferocity, roaring as its tail, carrying a terrifying aura, swung towards Xiaoqi.
"Hmph!"
Xiaoqi snorted disdainfully.
Slowly extending a hand, he seed insignificantly small under the sea beast's giant tail.
At this mont, Chen Xuan also abruptly opened his eyes, looking at the scene with a calm deanor and without a hint of worry.
Just a re Late-Stage Profound Realm sea beast.
If Xiaoqi couldn't even handle it, then that would be absurd.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Xiaoqi caught the sea beast's tail with one hand, standing in the air motionless, no matter how the sea beast roared, remaining unchanged.
The next mont, sword qi traversed through the center of the sea beast.
It had not even reacted.
Dozens of ters of the sea beast were cut into two halves.
Blood dripped like raindrops from the air, seawater beneath turning crimson as the two halved platters fell into the sea.
"Dad, how was it?"
Beaming with pride, Xiaoqi returned to the Double-winged Celestial Ship, seeking recognition.
"That sea beast is only of Profound Realm strength. How do you expect Dad to praise you?"
"Oh!"
Thinking he could earn praise, his little eyes showed disappointnt.
"Alright, little guy!"
Chen Xuan slowly stood up, then reached out to where the sea beast had fallen.
"Bang!"
The sea beast's head surged through the water and floated in the air.
"Dad will make grilled sea beast at for you!"
"Ah... Great!"
Xiaoqi instantly brimming with joy, Dad's grilled at is exceptional, yet he had tasted it only once or twice due to his busyness.
"Greedy cat!"
Chen Xuan affectionately looked at him, then moved his fingers through the air.
Sword qi sliced through the sea beast.
Monts later, Chen Xuan divided the beast, leaving the essence of its interior about human-sized.
Monts after!
An enticing aroma wafted from the ship.
"(╯▽╰) It slls so good~~ Dad... Can I eat it now?"
Xiaoqi stared eagerly at Chen Xuan, gulping as he swallowed impulsively.
"Slap!"
Chen Xuan smacked his head, "It's not ready yet, what's the rush!"
"I'm hungry!"
Xiaoqi pouted, gazing at the floating at over the fire below.
Chen Xuan maneuvered the sea beast at, flipping it consistently.
Ensuring even heating.
But... suddenly, the at faltered, Chen Xuan's brows furrowing, then casually opened, "It's fate we've t, co have a bite."
Xiaoqi glanced up at him, puzzled.
"Soone else?"
But Chen Xuan didn't answer him, aware of his confusion, Xiaoqi sensed around himself.
Empty!
"No one's here."
Pouting, he muttered.
"Um... slls delicious."
Suddenly, a hearty voice echoed into the Double-winged Celestial Ship.
"There is soone?!"
A burly middle-aged man unceremoniously entered the ship, bypassing its glowing barrier, sitting across Chen Xuan.
"Young friend's skills are impressive, slls delicious!"
He drooled, staring at the rolling at in mid-air, as if he had never had at before.
"Sizzling sound..."
The at crackled, dripping glistening oils along its grain.
Then, just before it dripped onto the ship, the oil altered direction, floating to the man's face.
The man extended a finger, the oil settled on it, then placed it in his mouth.
"Mm... very fragrant!"
"Young friend's skill truly remarkable, I've eaten grilled at before but nothing compares to this."
"Of course!"
On this point, Chen Xuan wasn't modest.
The skill was learned from a barbecue master in a past life.
Just lacking spices, a bit off.
With the sea beast at's exterior crisply cooked, Chen Xuan extended a finger, sword qi appeared at his fingertip, tracing half-inch lines along the at.
Then began sprinkling salt.
The salt extracted from seawater subsequently.
Each grain of sea salt instantly lted into the at.
"Why is that?"
The man asked, puzzled.
"It helps marinate the at better."
Chen Xuan slightly raised his eyes to him, then continued salting, adding, "It's common knowledge!"
"Uh—"
"Common knowledge?"
The man muttered, then shrugged, "I certainly wouldn't know."
