Chapter 23 Delicious Pot Of Fresh Seafood

Guo Li looked at Cai Er in a daze. There were no impure intentions evident in her big clear eyes. Guo Li’s finger was slightly cold and very comfortable. The burning sensation from the lobster pincer earlier was slowly fading away.

He could even feel a mischievous tongue touching his finger from time to time. Guo Li’s temples were starting to sweat.

Cai Er noticed Guo Li’s strange behavior and said in a muffled voice, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’m treating your wound.”

After saying that, she let go of Guo Li’s finger and slowly pulled it out of her mouth. She stood there and drooled. Guo Li looked at the red and swollen part of his finger and realized that the mark had disappeared. The pain on his finger had also disappeared.

“Cai Er, you’re so powerful. You’re able to treat my wounds with this method?”

Cai Er pursed her lips and smiled. She stared at her toes and said, “Of course, but I have never treated the wounds of other boys like this. I haven’t even come into contact with other boys in this game world.”

After Guo Li heard that, he looked at Cai Er’s somewhat red face and felt that she was struggling. She wanted to explain herself. He laughed and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s understandable that you haven’t come into contact with other boys.”

After Cai Er heard this, she turned her head and frowned. She shyly rolled her eyes at Guo Li. Immediately, the corners of her mouth rose slightly. When she saw that Guo Li had actually let out a sigh of relief, she felt that he had some strange thoughts about her.

“Hmph.”

With a clear hmph, Cai Er once again sat barefoot next to Guo Li. Her feet were very beautiful. Her five round toes were very white, and one could even see the red blood vessels underneath her skin.

Guo Li did his best to collect his thoughts. It was really hard to calm down with such a beautiful girl by his side, so he quickly focused on fishing.

After he caught two more fish, the saltwater crocodile came back carrying an unsteady money on its back. Wukong was seated there, holding a few palm-sized abalones in his hands.

When Guo Li saw the abalones, he was pleasantly surprised. At the same time, a beautiful nourishing meal appeared in his mind. In the real world, Guo Li also liked to cook delicious food, though top-notch ingredients such as lobsters and abalones were out of his price range. Guo Li would not spend his hard-earned money on such luxuries, so he satisfied his cravings by watching cooking videos about them.

Today, he had these wonderful ingredients on hand, so he had to make a proper feast. He hurriedly stood up and said, “I’ll go grab some oysters to make a delicious and nourishing soup.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Cai Er stood up and followed Guo Li. The two of them started picking up large, plump, and juicy oysters on the reef.

Since there were no natural predators on the island, the oysters grew very large and plump. Every single one of them looked tantalizingly tasty. Guo Li, who had tasted this delicious oyster meat before, still could not forget about it.

After peeling the shell off, the head of the lobster was removed to make soup. The interior of the lobster was an attractive yellow color. After removing the outer shell, all he could see was the crystal clear lobster meat. Each piece was so beautiful and tempting.

The abalone was taken out of its shell and cut into pieces. It was then placed to the side. After killing a grouper, he drained the blood. After the fish was sliced, a precious black truffle was taken and sliced into thin pieces; only two or three pieces were needed. The lobster and abalone were already sufficiently delicious. Too many black truffles would overpower the taste of freshness.

He took a big pot and poured some fresh water into it. He first put the head of the lobster and the black truffle slices in. After the water turned into a thick white soup, he put the lobster meat, abalone, and other ingredients into it. With that a pot of delicious abalone lobster soup was completed.

The delicious soup, which had lobster meat rolling around inside it, made Cai Er swallow her saliva uncontrollably. She was starving.

This kind of delicious seafood soup could not be stewed for a long time. She only needed to wait for the soup to come to a boil before she would be able to eat it. If it was cooked for too long, the ingredients would age and harden, which would affect the overall taste.

Guo Li took the pot off the fire and called Cai Er over to eat.

“Guo Li, the lobster soup you made is too tempting. It looks so delicious.”

Guo Li used a coconut shell as a bowl and filled it with soup, fish meat, lobster meat, and abalone meat for Cai Er.

Cai Er took a bite and said, “Delicious, really delicious, very delicious. It’s the most delicious seafood I’ve ever eaten!”

Cai Er would usually cook some seafood for herself on Rainbow Island, but the taste and texture of her seafood dishes were totally different compared to Guo Li’s handiwork. The food made by Guo Li was on another level altogether; it was way too delicious.

She did not care about her lady-like image anymore and ate it all up happily.

Guo Li took a bite and said, “High-quality ingredients really don’t need complicated cooking methods. Even the simplest of cooking methods is sufficient to bring out its fresh and delicate taste.”

The two of them ate happily and did not forget to roast two fishes. There was an abundance of resources on his island, so there was no need to worry about food shortage. In the real world, these top-notch ingredients were hard to come by, but on Guo Li’s island, they were readily available.

Were it not for the fact that they were going to cook some oysters with the soup later, they would have drunk all the soup dry.

Of course, Guo Li did not forget to give Big Baby and the saltwater crocodile some delicious food as well.

The saltwater crocodile happily ate some fresh hot food. However, it was still hungry. If it wanted to eat to its heart’s content, it would probably need to eat a lobster the size of a person. With the limited ingredients on hand, it had to be satisfied with the taste alone.

The remaining oysters were placed inside the pot of soup. The two of them were eating the plump oysters when Cai Er’s phone suddenly rang.

The phone was bound to the player, so even though Cai Er had been drifting about in the sea for a long time, it still stuck to her.

When she was invaded by the barbarians, Cai ER had sent out a distress signal before jumping into the sea. After she sent the distress signal, the phone constantly displayed her vital signs in the distress channel.

If the signal changed from white to black, it meant that the player had died. If it changed from white to gray, it meant that the player had fallen unconscious. If the player woke up and there was no danger to his or her life, it would be white.

Before this, Cai Er had an admirer, who was also an island owner around level 10. He had been paying attention to Cai Er’s situation this entire time.

When he saw that her vital signs indicator had turned white in the distress channel, he immediately made a video call. When Cai Er saw the video call request, she turned around and said to Guo Li, “Guo Li, he’s one of my admirers. He’s requesting a video call. Should I answer it?”

Cai Er had already started to seek Guo Li’s opinion before doing something. If Guo Li did not want her to answer the call, Cai Er would reject him without hesitation and ignore him.
