chapter 3968 escaping the sea of bitterness

“brother yifeng, you have a knack for arriving at the right time. i just finished cooking this fish. come, let’s have a feast.”

a three-foot-long fish that looked a bit like a swamp eel was being grilled at the moment. the oil was running down its body, and its fragrant smell made people drool.

long chen took out two elegant wine bowls and poured out some wine.

“wow, big brother, you know how to live! when i heard that princess qianxue sent you to raise fish, i thought that you would be depressed. but your attitude is good. let me raise you a toast as an apology for my mistake.” zhu yifeng had originally come to comfort long chen. after all, his current position was caused by him. even if he was cursed by long chen, he had to accept it.

unexpectedly, long chen was doing very well and was actually cooking fish here. the fishing ground here was the royal family’s, so they only raised precious species of fish.

hence, the meat of these fish was exceptionally delicious and also had a nourishing effect. it could be directly turned into a medicinal pill. as they were top grade fish with shocking value, ordinary people couldn’t afford to eat them.

“haha, that’s nothing. but i’ll drink to it.” long chen laughed. it was only once he arrived that he found that this was actually a good place.

how could he not? there were many precious fish here, and long chen didn’t plan to just watch them. he had been looking for a good fish to eat when he noticed a golden dragon fish baring its fangs at him. long chen naturally decided to pick it up and tossed it onto the grill.

“wow, this wine is amazing!” zhu yifeng exclaimed. it was his first time drinking such fine wine. “wait, is this from the...”

“of course. other than the wine god palace, who can produce such divine wine? drink as much as you want!” long chen had almost no friends in the vermilion bird empire. hence, when a friend had come to drink with him, he was happy and directly filled his bowl again.

zhu yifeng drank three bowls, overjoyed with this feeling. so this world actually possessed such beautiful wine? in comparison, the other fine wines that he had drunk were water.

“don’t just drink the wine. let’s eat the fish too. i have a feeling that this is no ordinary fish. its meat will definitely be delicious.” long chen used chopsticks to send a mouthful of the fish into zhu yifeng’s mouth. it instantly melted, its juices filling his mouth. it was fatty but not greasy; it was exceptionally delicious.

“wow, what fish is this? it’s so delicious! i’ve never tasted it before!” zhu yifeng tasted the fish, and his eyes lit up. this fish was better than all the other fish he had ever tasted as a prince of the empire.

“nope!” long chen shook his head.

“oh, thank goodness. i almost pissed myself. as long as it’s not seven colors, it’s fine.” zhu yifeng sighed with relief.

“why don’t you tell me how many colors its scales had?” asked yu qianxue.

“five,” said long chen directly. he remembered this.

“then adding on the lips and whiskers?” said yu qianxue coldly.

“i wasn’t paying attention. now that you mention it though, it seems that they were different colors...” long chen nodded.

crash.

“brother zhu, what’s wrong? why do you look like that?” long chen saw zhu yifeng sitting on the ground, his face pale and his entire body limp.

“big brother, we’re dead. we’re definitely dead. you cooked my imperial father’s most-beloved seven color dragon fish!” zhu yifeng wept, scared out of his wits.

“no wonder it was so delicious! so it’s what the emperor eats!” exclaimed long chen.

“you don’t know anything. that was the seven color dragon fish my imperial father was raising as a tonic. its gallbladder is used to refine the three flower heaven ascension pill. do you know what the three flower heaven ascension pill is?” yu qianxue had the urge to kill long chen. he still hadn’t realized just how grave of a mistake this was. he thought it was as simple as just eating a fish.

“i know. it’s used by an earth venerate to become a heaven venerate. the seven color dragon fish’s gallbladder is one of the main ingredients,” said long chen lightly.

“you know?! the vermilion bird empire only has a single seven color dragon fish! and you... you... you still cooked it?!” yu qianxue lacked the words to express her rage. she then grabbed long chen’s collar, almost spraying saliva into his face as she no longer cared about royal etiquette.

“his majesty has arrived!”

just then, a eunuch’s voice rang out. after that, long chen felt a flaming aura approaching. those flames were flames of fury.
