Chapter 233: A Stirring State of Breakthrough

”Lass Ni, go ahead and eat this dish. You have been saying everyday that you would attain the rank of War-God, but I have not seen you actually achieve it”, the old drunkard said to Ni Yan as he drank from his wine gourd.

Ni Yan was stunned. She did not expect that the old drunkard would buy the dish for her. Bu Fang stood at the side, eyebrows raised, but did not say anything.

”Aren't you going to eat it? If not, I will go ahead and do it”, the old drunkard said as he laughed. If the Path-Understanding Fruit had not been used to create the dish, perhaps he would not have given the dish to Ni Yan, as he would have needed the fruit to brew wine.

However, the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit was used by Bu Fang to create a dish, therefore the opportunity was lost to use it to brew wine. When the old drunkard bought this dish that could induce a state to attain a breakthrough, he was definitely doing so to give it to Ni Yan.

Ni Yan was touched. Although she and the old drunkard would bicker and squabble daily, and that she would sometimes also steal his Dragon's Breath to drink, their relationship was very good.

Ni Yan did not have to spell out anything unnecessary. She turned and said to Bu Fang, ”Owner Bu, please bring a cup of the Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew for him”.

Although the Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew was not as expensive as this dish, to the old drunkard, using wine was a better way of expressing one's gratitude.

Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew? The old drunkard was stunned.

Bu Fang glanced at Ni Yan and nodded. He stood up and went into the kitchen.

When Bu Fang came out of the kitchen, he was holding a pale blue jar of the Path-Understanding Brew. The rich fragrance of the wine filled the entire area, causing some to feel a little intoxicated.

”This... this wine fragrance!” The old drunkard just stared as his heart was filled with an inconceivable possibility.

”Lass, you weren't being genuine with me! To think you did not tell me earlier about such good wine!” The old drunkard was obsessed with wine up to the point of craziness. To him, a cup of good wine was more alluring than a beautiful lady.

Ni Yan smiled without saying a word. Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew was a newly introduced wine, and although she had not told the old drunkard, it shouldn't be too late to tell him now.

The old drunkard received the wine that Bu Fang passed over, closed his eyes, and hid in a corner to taste it.

Ni Yan, however, fixed her eyes on Dragon Gate Leap.

The fins of the fat fish gently flapped about on the porcelain plate, as if it had came to life. The mist surrounding it gave off an even more mysterious feeling.

She picked up her chopsticks and sat opposite to Bu Fang. Her alluring appearance when surrounded by the mist looked absolutely stunning.

Bu Fang looked at her through the mist and was shocked by her beauty. This woman really was a little too beautiful.

The smell of Dragon Gate Leap was actually not too strong. When compared to other dishes in Bu Fang's store, it was considered mild. However, the value of this dish surpassed other dishes by far.

The ingredient alone was already worth much more than the other dishes.

She gently prodded at the fish skin, pulling it apart to reveal a layer of succulent white flesh beneath. A small amount of water vapour could be seen coming out from the fresh and tender meat, and it looked like a bright and transparent jewel.

The piping hot fish gave off that faintly sweet fragrance found only in the freshest of fish meats, and after going through Bu Fang's own proprietary techniques, the usual fishiness associated with such a dish was completely removed. The dish now gave off a slightly fruity and meaty smell, as rich as milk and just as refreshing.

As she grabbed a piece of the meat, the juicy piece trembled a little as it left the body of the fish. Cloud-shaped moires surrounded the piece of fish meat, and it looked gorgeous.

It drew all the attention of the people around. Many a stomach rumbled as they voiced their craving for that tantalizing piece of meat.

The fair-skinned Ni Yan blushed a little due to the heat, making her look even better. She opened her red lips, revealing her pure white teeth, painting a picture that was simply irresistible.

As the meat entered her mouth, she was overwhelmed by the taste of the fish. It was as if the fish meat melted in her mouth and as she swallowed it, she could feel the warmness of the meat in her stomach.

The taste of the fish was retained in her mouth and every breath she took was filled with the wonderful smell of the fish.

”Um... hmm…” Ni Yan moaned tenderly. Her face showed that she was still totally immersed in it. She stuck out that small tongue of hers and gently caressed her rosy red lips, savoring every last bit of fish juice left on them. That sight… was simply gorgeous.

The people around stared in awe. It was impossible to tell if they were attracted to the delicious cuisine or the alluring beauty.

Bu Fang could not help but to pinch his own nose. This woman... couldn't she be less charming?

”Delicious!” Ni Yan came back to her senses and gasped. She then placed another piece of fish into her mouth, totally enjoying it.

The taste of Steamed Fish came from its delicate flavor. It did not have the same impact as spicy Boiled Fish, neither did it have that strong alcohol taste of a Lees Fish. It relied on that special taste of the fish fats.
