Chapter 2492: This thing is so fragrant, you could even eat it raw

~6 min read 1,186 words

Hearing the voices of Tianlin and Miao Qianqian coming from inside the Fire Room, the people outside completely lost their composure.

Although the Fire Room's walls aren't thin, its soundproofing is really just average; the voices inside were heard clearly by all, not a word missed.

Especially upon hearing the two praise the so-called Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, everyone's curiosity was thoroughly aroused.

They all secretly wondered what kind of flavor the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had, that it could make the two praise it without end.

Everyone's heart felt as if countless tiny claws were scratching, they could not restrain themselves, wishing to rush into the Fire Room immediately to find out.

You know, although there are many taverns in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, never before has anyone heard of a place using Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon as food.

This Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon—could it actually be edible?

Just as the crowd gathered at the Fire Room's door, tiptoeing, craning their necks, eagerly peering inside, the Fire Room door suddenly opened with a 'creak'.

The crowd's gaze instantly shifted; they saw Tianlin and Miao Qianqian each holding a large bowl, walking out steadily.

Perhaps they hadn't expected so many people to gather outside; Tianlin and Miao Qianqian were visibly startled, their faces showing a hint of surprise.

However, at the very moment they were stunned, that extremely rich fragrance surged out of the Fire Room like a flood breaking through a dam.

This fragrance seemed to possess magical power, drilling straight into everyone's noses, causing their saliva to flow uncontrollably in an instant.

Fragrant, truly fragrant to the point of being irresistible.

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian stared blankly at the crowd before them, seeing each person's eyes wide and round, constantly swallowing saliva, as if they had seen some extremely tempting delicacy.

Tianlin, full of doubt, spoke up.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing his voice, the youth who was already acquainted with Tianlin and Miao Qianqian was the first to regain his composure; he grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, and said.

"Brother Tian, can this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon really be eaten?"

It turned out these people were full of curiosity about the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, after all, such a creature was completely unfamiliar to them.

Moreover, the aroma permeating the air was truly irresistible, making their index fingers twitch.

Tianlin heard the youth's words and fell silent for a moment.

He naturally felt reluctant to bring out such a top-quality ingredient to share with everyone.

Although they had obtained quite a bit of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon this time, who knew if Ye Zhangqing would make it every meal?

However, at that very moment, Ye Zhangqing happened to walk out of the Fire Room.

He immediately saw the crowd gathered here and their eager gazes; without thinking, he knew what they were pondering.

Ye Zhangqing's mouth corner curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, as he spoke.

"There's still some left, but with so many people I'm afraid it won't go around..."

Upon first arriving in Beyond the Heavens, although Ye Zhangqing knew a little about worldly affairs, when faced with this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon he still chose to let Tianlin and Miao Qianqian enjoy it first, after all their strength surpassed his.

After Tianlin and Miao Qianqian had finished eating, Ye Zhangqing looked at the remaining demon meat and couldn't help but sigh.

"There's still some left, but with so many people it's probably..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone impatiently interjected.

"Enough, enough, Young Master Ye has worked hard; we can divide it ourselves, it's sufficient."

Upon hearing they could actually taste a bite of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon meat, they no longer cared about anything else, all expressing that just getting a share would satisfy them.

As for exactly how to divide it and how much each could get, everyone naturally had their own methods.

The simplest and most direct method was naturally that whoever had the bigger fist would get a bit more.

Thus, after Ye Zhangqing and the two others left, the crowd immediately began to scramble at the Fire Room's door.

The tempting fragrance continuously emanating from within the Fire Room was like countless fine needles, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves, making it even harder to bear.

Just as the crowd's scramble became uncontrollable, someone suddenly shouted loudly.

"Please settle down, everyone. As the captain of this immortal vessel, I should go in first to check how much food remains; after I come out, we can together discuss the distribution—wouldn't that be fairer?"

At that moment, the middle-aged man resembling a ship elder suddenly stood up, his face solemn, speaking righteously:

"Everyone, please hear me out."

However, compared to his previous prestige before the crowd, his words now obviously lacked their former weight.

The crowd paid no heed to his words at all, and some even bluntly retorted.

"You go in? If you go in, will there be any left for us?"

"Exactly, cut the nonsense—when faced with delicious food, each should rely on their own ability."

Another person echoed him, then immediately lashed out with a strike toward the Fire Room.

"Stop, fighting is forbidden on the immortal vessel—don't you even know this basic rule?"

The ship elder, seeing this, hurriedly shouted to stop, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding clamor.

The situation instantly descended into utter chaos; in order to taste the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's delicacy, everyone had long stopped caring about anything else, each rushing into the Fire Room like a starving tiger pouncing on food.

For a moment, shouts, shoving, and fighting noises echoed throughout the immortal vessel, the scene in extreme disorder.

Those with greater strength naturally held the absolute advantage, easily pushing through the crowd and rushing to the front.

Meanwhile, the weaker ones could only be squeezed to the back of the crowd, anxious but helpless.

At that moment, those who had rushed to the front finally reached the great pot, seeing the steaming, fragrant food inside, their eyes lit up as if they had been starving for days, and they eagerly reached out to grab the food, devouring it heartily.

The strong had already gotten the meat; upon taking a bite, the flavor indeed left them astonished as if heavenly.

Is there still such delicious food in this world? It's simply unimaginable.

Moreover, this is food made from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the very creature that the Human Race has loathed to the extreme—does it still possess such a precious side?

Those behind watching the few feasting heartily could not hide the envy in their eyes, but being weaker, they could only look on.

The youth who had previously been with Ye Zhangqing at Dazehu was also drooling at the sight.

Wanting to eat but unable to snatch any, they were frantic.

However, in an unguarded moment, the youth suddenly saw a pile of discarded ingredients casually stacked beside the stove.

A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he silently thought.

Since this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is so tasty, gnawing it raw should also work.

Anyway, let's first have a taste.
