160: The ashamed princess! A maid?!
"Who said I wanted to eat it? Shameless." Zhe Yunli pouted her small mouth and turned her head away.
She looked as if she believed that out of sight was out of mind.
"That's true. A dignified princess of the Divine Dynasty, what mountain delicacies and sea treasures hasn't she eaten? She certainly wouldn't look down on this fifth-grade Spirit Treasure fish in my hand," Qin Han muttered to himself as if no one else was around.
"God-Slaying Stone, am I right?"
"Of course! This thing is like a speck of dust in the princess's eyes. Even touching it would contaminate her. Only common mortals like us can enjoy it." The God-Slaying Stone was already drooling at the scent.
"It's good that you know! This princess has eaten more delicacies than you've eaten salt. Stop showing off. This princess doesn't look down on it!" Zhe Yunli's last sentence was spoken almost word for word.
Her tone was firm, as if to express her determination.
"Grumble~"
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in the quiet cave.
Zhe Yunli's pretty face instantly turned red, like a monkey's backside, vibrant and incredibly moving.
Qin Han looked puzzled. "Eh? Who's farting?"
"You heard wrong. That's not farting; it's a rumbling stomach," the God-Slaying Stone chimed in.
"So that's it. This sound isn't coming from me, and you, a stone, wouldn't have a rumbling stomach..." Qin Han hinted, his peripheral vision glancing at the graceful figure standing nearby.
"This princess has been feeling unwell recently, so some strange noises are normal. Don't overthink it," Zhe Yunli explained, forcing herself to suppress her embarrassment.
However, her explanation only made it more obvious, equivalent to telling others she was hungry.
A Martial Artist's body no longer needs to rely on grains; even going without food for a year or half a year wouldn't make them hungry.
But encountering such a delicious aroma, especially when roasted with Divine Fire, the scent was far more enticing than anything roasted with ordinary fire.
Although Zhe Yunli had eaten many delicacies, the Seven Spirit Treasure Fish was born from divine essence, no less impressive than an Ancient Remnant Species.
Therefore, she couldn't hold back for a moment, and her stomach uncontrollably rumbled.
"I see. Since the princess isn't feeling well, then find a place to rest. We'll handle this ourselves," Qin Han said, appearing very understanding.
"Consider yourself sensible." Zhe Yunli turned and walked gracefully to a corner, sitting down and looking at the scenery outside the cave.
Qin Han found it amusing to see her wanting to eat but being too embarrassed to ask.
The best way to correct a spoiled person is through discipline.
He had raised pet cats in his previous life and was well-versed in the Dao of discipline.
Dealing with someone so guileless was as easy as flipping a hand.
He immediately bit off half the fish, chewing loudly and making 'impolite' smacking sounds.
"Mmm! Don't even get me started, this thing is truly delicious. Incredibly fresh and fragrant, with tender meat and a subtle sweetness. It's indeed a top-grade item," Qin Han praised endlessly.
"Let this Stone have a taste, don't eat it all," the God-Slaying Stone urged anxiously.
"Here, this half is for you." Qin Han wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, swallowing contentedly.
The God-Slaying Stone's way of eating was different from other living beings. It lay on the fish meat and used its unique refining technique.
In less than two breaths, half of the Treasure Fish mysteriously vanished, transforming into essence and merging into the Stone's body.
"It's delicious! I should have caught more if I knew!" the God-Slaying Stone also praised.
"The Golden Scale Celebration lives up to its name. So many delicious fish available for capture at will. It truly is a blessing for Martial Artists," Qin Han said, satisfied.
"I wonder what the legendary Divine Fish tastes like. It must be even better than the Seven Spirit Treasure Fish," the God-Slaying Stone couldn't help but hope.
"We'll know when we catch a few later to eat."
Zhe Yunli couldn't help but glance at Qin Han, looking at the expression of enjoyment on his face, and muttered, "Is it really that delicious?"
She had eaten many of the famous Eight Delicacy Chickens from the Golden Scale Celebration, but over time, she found them to be nothing special.
She rarely ate fish meat normally, as the Golden Scale River usually prohibited any Martial Artist from fishing.
If violated, they would be punished by the River God.
Therefore, she was very curious about how these Spirit Fish tasted.
Thinking of this, she felt even hungrier and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Qin Han caught this small movement, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward.
"I remember I still have a small Crimson Gold Lotus Fish, don't I?" Qin Han asked.
"Here."
The God-Slaying Stone pulled out a half-zhang long Crimson Gold Lotus Fish from its Storage Ring.
As soon as the fish appeared, brilliant golden light burst forth, instantly illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.
"This is also a good thing. Quickly roast it and eat it, or its essence will dissipate later," Qin Han said, summoning his Divine Fire to roast it.
The aroma of a fifth-grade Treasure Fish was enticing enough; a sixth-grade one was even more refreshing.
Qin Han had already tasted it, but at that time, he was eager to break through to the Extreme Boundary, so he devoured it all in a hurry, without savoring it.
Now that he had another chance, he naturally wanted to chew slowly and carefully savor every bite of the fish meat.
The moment it entered his mouth, a rich aroma instantly exploded in his oral cavity, and his entire Soul felt as if it had been sublimated.
His pores furiously spewed forth radiant light, and his body seemed to transform into a Spirit Buddha, with a misty Qi continuously rising.
"It's too delicious! This fish should only exist in the heavens!" Qin Han praised without reservation.
In reality, he wasn't exaggerating; it was indeed extremely delicious.
The God-Slaying Stone took a piece of fish meat the size of a millstone and moved to the side to enjoy it, its stony skin immediately emitting a shimmering Divine Light.
It seemed that it would soon undergo another transformation, entering the ranks of a fifth-grade Spirit Treasure.
Seeing this scene, Zhe Yunli felt even more uncomfortable.
She was a pampered princess; normally, if she wanted something, she just had to beckon, and someone would bring it to her. She never had to ask.
But now, sitting opposite her was the one who had captured her, the man who had utterly crushed her pride.
Given her arrogance, it was absolutely impossible for her to lower herself to an enemy, much less beg for food.
"Grumble~"
Just then, her stomach rumbled again with a strange sound. Zhe Yunli could no longer hold it in. She shot up, her face red, and said, "This princess commands you, give me some to eat."
"Isn't the princess unwell? Eating these common Sundries might harm your precious body," Qin Han's eyes showed a hint of teasing.
"Just give it to me when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense." Zhe Yunli threw caution to the wind. She just wanted to taste the fish meat now.
As for her dignity, it was already lost anyway.
She didn't care about losing a little more.
"You don't seem to understand your situation. I didn't bring you back to serve you. I hope you adjust your attitude," Qin Han said, looking her full figure up and down.
Zhe Yunli instinctively hugged her chest and said angrily, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"You've seen my temper. If you don't want me to resort to force, then behave like a maid," Qin Han said bluntly.
"Maid... Are you crazy?" Zhe Yunli's beautiful eyes widened. She had never heard such an absurd term in her life.
