Chapter 44 Breaking the Formation
After the crab legs were grilled, the sweet juices were locked inside the crab meat, and the rich spiritual energy of the spider crab itself was not lost due to the grilling. Even Shen Feng, who often ate delicacies, was amazed. He thought that the three high-grade spirit stones were well spent.
Even the wealthiest Shen Feng thought so, let alone Jiang Nan and others who had never eaten seafood before. Only Su Bo, who often went to Beizhou, could restrain himself, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the food.
On the other side, Ye Lan evenly divided the crab legs on the baking tray and hurried to bake the remaining ones. While waiting for the next batch of crab legs, he summoned Xiao Bai from his space, held it, and fed it the peeled crab leg meat.
Perhaps out of consideration for the presence of outsiders, Xiaobai did not revert to its original form. The shelled crab leg meat was still three fingers thick, and the length of the crab leg was longer than its body.
While Ye Lan was still thinking about cutting the crab leg meat in half, Xiao Bai had already poked its head out and bit off a large piece of the crab leg, swallowing it whole. Ye Lan smiled helplessly at this sight; it hadn't been given meat for a while, and it was probably craving it for a long time.
Little White finished a crab leg in no time, and Ye Lan quickly peeled a second crab leg for it. To prevent the oil from sticking to its beautiful fur, she wrapped a handkerchief around its neck.
Jiang Ning was closest to him and saw his little actions clearly. He knew Ye Lan was good at taking care of people, but he didn't expect him to take such meticulous care of the spirit pet. This person was busy running around, but in the end, he didn't get to eat a single bite himself.
Jiang Ning's attention was all on him, and he naturally noticed that this beautiful monster, whose level was impossible to discern, ate even more ferociously than they did. He had only finished one segment when it had already started on the second. Moreover, its belly didn't change at all after eating such a long crab leg. He was really curious: where did such a small body hide the food it ate?
Or perhaps, this is not its true form?
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. The Sirius Beast was struggling when he stuffed it into his clothes earlier, and he found a separate storage bag to put it in because he was annoyed. But it didn't stop moving until Little White appeared.
He had initially thought the wolf cub was hungry and that's why it was quiet, but now he realized it had succumbed to the pressure of the high-level demon beast. Coupled with the reaction of the Dragon Slayer Blade, he was certain that Little White's bloodline wasn't that of an ordinary demon beast; Ye Lan must have stumbled upon a good opportunity.
Ye Lan didn't notice that Jiang Ning was watching him. His attention was entirely on Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai had already eaten three crab legs and still showed no sign of stopping. At this rate, he seriously doubted whether he could afford to raise it after leaving the Cloud Cave.
Keep in mind that it's still a minor.
"Open your mouth."
While Ye Lan was still worrying about raising Xiaobai in the future, something was brought to his mouth. He was stunned when he saw the crab leg being held to his mouth. He turned his head slightly and saw that it was Jiang Ning's hand. Jiang Ning's hand had distinct knuckles and rounded fingers. Those slender, fair fingers were holding a pair of chopsticks. The crab meat at his mouth came from those chopsticks.
"Open your mouth." Jiang Ning repeated when he saw him in a daze, "These chopsticks are clean, you should eat some first."
"Thank you." Ye Lan said, trying to take the chopsticks from his hand, but Jiang Ning dodged her.
"I'll help you pick it up," Jiang Ning explained softly. "Your hands aren't free, you'll get Xiaobai dirty."
Ye Lan: "?"
He seemed unable to refute it, so he had no choice but to go along with Jiang Ning's suggestion and bite off the crab meat that was brought to his mouth.
It has to be said that this spider crab also gave Ye Lan a great surprise. The meat was delicious and had no fishy smell even without scallions, ginger, or garlic. The spirit beasts in the cultivation world are indeed different from the creatures in the original world. If there were cheese, making a cheese-baked crab leg would be perfect.
"Eat more."
Seeing him swallow the crab meat, Jiang Ning picked up another piece for him.
Seeing Jiang Ning's righteous and aloof expression, without any apparent thoughts, Ye Lan felt that refusing again would be pretentious. Since he couldn't refuse, he decided to comply. He silently ate the crab meat that Jiang Ning had picked up, and even remarked on how considerate Jiang Ning was to his brother.
Jiang Ning feeds Ye Lan, and Ye Lan feeds Xiao Bai; this scene is strangely harmonious in the cave.
Before long, Gu Yu also summoned his spirit pet, Qing Kai. Qing Kai was a bright green venomous snake covered in dragon-scale-like scales. In Gu Yu's words, it looked like he was wearing a beautiful suit of armor.
Gu Yu had raised it since it was a child, and he would feed it poisonous things to improve its cultivation. He didn't know why, but when he saw Ye Lan feeding the spirit pet, he also thought of feeding Qing Kai something different. So he did it.
His spirit pet was very cooperative, eating the crab leg meat with relish. Specifically, it swallowed the entire crab leg and then rubbed its head against Gu Yu's face. This was a gesture it always made when it was happy, without considering how prickly its scales were.
"How about I feed you too?"
Jiang Nan hesitated before speaking. After eating half of his meal, he noticed that Su Bo had been watching Jiang Ning and Jiang Nan, and assumed that Su Bo was envious of the brotherhood between them.
This earned him a firm "Get out!" from Su Bo.
Jiang Nan gave a soft hum and continued eating her meat.
After dividing the second batch of grilled crab legs, Ye Lan began to process the crab body. He was pleasantly surprised when he opened the shell, finding it full of crab roe.
He removed the roasted crab meat, mixed it with the crab roe on the shell, added seasonings, and stirred it, releasing a fresh and rich aroma.
The snow-white crab meat mixed with golden crab roe looks incredibly appetizing, and tastes even more tender, sweet, and soft.
Everyone received a plate, even Shen Feng.
"This is free."
Perhaps considering the introduction she had seen earlier, Ye Lan was afraid of offending Shen Feng too much, so she made a small attempt to make amends. However, Shen Feng didn't appreciate it and still took out a high-grade spirit stone for her.
Ye Lan was speechless and could only accept the spirit stone. She silently prayed that Jiang Ning would not forget his brothers after he got a wife and would protect him. She didn't even see that Jiang Ning looked at Shen Feng with displeasure.
The happy time of eating didn't last long. Just as he was feeding Xiaobai the crab roe, Ye Lan heard a faint knocking sound coming from the wall behind Shen Feng.
"what sound?"
Clearly, he wasn't the only one who heard the sound; everyone stood up, huddled together, and looked at that wall.
"Defense barrier."
Jiang Ning's voice was calm. When reminding everyone to set up a defensive barrier, he even took a step forward and stood at the very front to protect everyone.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The wall continued to make impact sounds, and the rubble on the wall gradually cracked and fell down.
Everyone took their swords, and Ye Lan put Xiao Bai back into her spatial storage.
"Oh!"
The wall cracked open, and swarms of bats flew in, their sheer number sending chills down one's spine.
