Chapter 2563 Exchange

The two beasts responded in unison, breaking into a run to get the twigs. They had to go back and forth between the mountain forest and the sea numerous times since they could only carry the twigs in their mouths.

Feng Jiu gathered some stones to make a simple stove, lit the twigs, took out a large pot from the space and filled it with water from the space, and then boiled the crabs stored inside her cosmos sack while dealing with some fish and shrimp.

After cooking the crab, she killed the octopus monster, roasted its tentacles on a hot iron plate, and sprinkled them with spices. The sea wind carried a strong aroma of meat. When the old man caught a whiff of the aroma, he couldn’t help but open one eye. To his surprise, she had sectioned and roasted the tentacles on the hot iron pan. His stomach growled as he smelled the aroma.

When Feng Jiu heard his rumbling stomach, she looked up, smiled, and told Cloud Devouring Beast and Little White Tiger, “Alright, we’ve had plenty. Just wait a minute, you’ll be able to eat soon.”

She served the grilled meat to Cloud Devouring Beast and Little White Tiger on a large platter. She ate a crab after she finished eating some slices of the tentacles. “The place is good, and the seafood is especially tasty.” She thoroughly enjoyed the delicacy. She looked at the roasted tentacles on the hot iron plate as she ate. When she noticed that Cloud Devouring Beast and Little White Tiger ate quickly, she added large slices of meat and increased the flame, giving them all of the octopus monster’s meat to eat.

When he smelled the aroma, the old man couldn’t help but gulp. When he realised that Feng Jiu had not called him up to eat, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “This girl is not at all cute. How can she be so disrespectful of the old and unloving of the young?”

He considered going over, but he felt he couldn’t risk losing face. However, if he didn’t go there, he would only be able to swallow his saliva while smelling the aroma. Finally, he stood up and approached her with an awkward laugh. “What are you grilling, Miss? What gives it such a pleasant aroma? I’ve never seen anyone eat like this before! What spice is it seasoned with?”.

“It’s a closely guarded secret recipe.” Feng Jiu replied, shoving a large piece of meat in front of Cloud Devouring Beast. “Eat quickly. It’s not good when it gets cold.”

The old man swallowed, inhaled the strong aroma of meat, and said, “I was wrong, Miss. I should have helped. So, could you please give me some? I’ve never had these before and would like to try them.”

Feng Jiu stopped moving her hands and looked at him sideways, surprised, “So you want to eat for free?”

“Ah? Free? Eating for free?” The old man flushed. Who did she think he was, a freeloader of other people’s food? “No, I’m not going to eat your food for free. I’m going to give you money,” he said right away.

“No. Feng Jiu shook her head and flatly refused. “I have money. I don’t want it.”

“What exactly do you want?” The old man queried but she simply smiled and said nothing. He observed her peeling a prawn the size of three or four catty and roasting its meat with spices. He couldn’t help but be moved when he smelled the peculiar aroma.

“I have a lot of good things. Why don’t I give this to you?” He shook his body and quickly pulled out a small boat as he spoke.

“If you’re going to cross the sea, you’re going to need a boat! I can tell you that flying ships are pointless; all you need is my boat.” He stated proudly.
