Chapter 415 - Stewed Turtle (1/2)

But if you slighted this opponent because of this, you would be so mistaken.

The nest was deathly quiet, making Bluepool’s heart sink to its depths. Refusing to give up, he walked into the innermost area of the cave. Indeed, there wasn’t a female in here.

The female had probably been stolen about ten years ago. The elders left the sea every year, not to gather information, but to look for the female instead.

The implications struck Bluepool, and he left as quietly as he came, going up to the surface of the sea once more.

There wasn’t a single person on the white and vast beach anymore.

…

The bush forest had basically regained its greenness again, and it was very difficult to find traces of it having been burned. Smoke ascended from the mountains, adding a degree of liveliness to this bush forest which had gained a new lease of life.

Bai Qingqing squatted next to the pot and salivated as she watched the turtle. From time to time, she would dip her chopsticks in the pot to have a taste of the soup.

“Is it ready yet?” Having tasted the flavorsome soup, Bai Qingqing felt even more greedy for it. She rubbed her fingers together, eager to start eating.

Parker helplessly glanced at her, then scooped a small bowl for her. “Eat this first.”

Inside, he murmured, Surprisingly, this turtle smells really aromatic when cooked.

He had caught turtles in the past, but he felt that there was too little meat, and the bones were difficult to chew. Hence, he didn’t feel much appetite towards it. Surprisingly, though, it turned out to have such a tantalizing fragrance when cooked.

But still, it paled in comparison to his beloved steamed fish in his heart.

Bai Qingqing licked her lips, then raised her bowl, unable to wait for a second longer.

The turtle had just been cooked, and its skin was tough and difficult to chew. In fact, Bai Qingqing chewed so hard that she couldn’t even hold her chopsticks steady. Ultimately, she gave up and simply held it in her hands as she continued to chew at it.

Although the turtle hadn’t been stewed long enough to turn soft, it still tasted pretty fantastic.

The salt they were consuming now was exchanged from the peacock village by Parker. He even found raw ginger, garlic, and chili here; just these few condiments mixed together and added to the soup gave it a sweet and flavorsome taste already.
