164: Chapter 164 Extravagant Private Party! A Dragon Eats Seafood, Shocking the Entire Audience!

The explosion-proof off-road vehicle sped along the Beijing Ring Road in the dead of night. At two in the morning, vehicles on the road were sparse.

Su Yang floored the accelerator, and the engine let out a beastly roar.

Reba sat in the passenger seat. Having just experienced a major battle of raiding a home, she felt extremely exhausted.

She leaned back against the leather seat to rest with her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly. In the back seat, Mary was clutching a pile of gold bars.

She picked up a glittering golden brick and took a bite, leaving a clear tooth mark.

A Vampire's teeth were incredibly hard; biting gold was as easy as biting a biscuit.

Chu Ling sat upright like a perfect sculpture.

Lin Lang pressed herself tightly against the car door, watching the neon lights flash by through the window.

Skyscrapers by the street, massive LED billboards, and a constant stream of cars.

Everything completely overturned this Yaochi Holy Maiden's understanding.

She had Cultivated in the deep mountains since childhood; when had she ever seen such a bizarre and colorful modern world?

"Boss, the old man just sent a text to report that the funds will arrive on time at eight tomorrow morning."

Mary stuffed a gold bar into her pocket and reported to Su Yang.

Su Yang nodded, eyes fixed forward, his hands steadily controlling the steering wheel.

Suddenly, the ice crystal bracelet on Su Yang's wrist vibrated violently.

A wave of cold air spread through the car's interior.

"This King is hungry! Where on earth is the king crab? Why is there still no sign of the Australian lobsters? This King wants to eat meat!"

Little White Strip's voice clamored frantically in Su Yang's mind, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"Shut up, we'll be there soon."

Su Yang replied coldly with his thoughts. The bracelet instantly fell silent.

Half an hour later, the off-road vehicle stopped outside the main gate of the Jinghai Bay Aquatic Products Wholesale Market.

This was the peak time for the seafood market's deliveries.

Hundreds of heavy cold-chain logistics trucks blocked the road completely.

Workers wearing waterproof rubber aprons shouted loudly.

The wheels of carts rumbled as they rolled over the asphalt surface.

The air was thick with the strong fishy smell of seawater and the earthy scent of fish and shrimp.

Su Yang pushed open the car door and stepped onto the water-logged road.

The four women followed him out of the car.

Chu Ling was wearing a Qing Dynasty official's uniform. Mary was in tight leather clothes.

Reba and Lin Lang wore trench coats. The four women's exquisite Faces and ethereal temperaments simply could not be hidden.

Walking through the dirty and messy aquatic market, the four of them looked like big stars who had accidentally wandered into a wet market.

The surrounding workers carrying seafood stopped their work one after another, their eyes staring straight at them.

"What's that smell? It's so fishy." Lin Lang frowned, covering her nose and mouth with her hand.

She had spent years in the Spiritual Qi-rich Yaochi Wonderland, eating immortal fruits and drinking spiritual springs.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never smelled such a filthy, mundane scent.

"Endure it, Maid Lin." Su Yang walked at the front without looking back. "The smoke and fire of the Mortal world most soothe a Mortal's heart. If you Cultivate for so long that you don't even know how to eat, what kind of immortal are you?"

Lin Lang didn't dare talk back and could only follow silently. She was actually filled with curiosity about this modern world.

Su Yang led the four through the crowded throng, heading straight for the largest imported seafood wholesale stall in the very center of the market.

The stall spanned hundreds of square meters. Inside, it was filled with massive glass water tanks. The tanks were full of fresh, top-quality seafood. Oxygen pumps continuously blew bubbles.

A shirtless burly man with a towel draped over his neck was loudly directing workers to unload the goods.

"Be gentle! This batch of king crabs caught in the Russian deep sea is very precious! If one dies, I'll dock half a month's salary!" The burly man's loud voice made people's ears ring.

Su Yang walked up to the burly man and reached out to tap the glass of a nearby water tank.

Inside the tank, dozens of giant king crabs were crawling slowly with their claws flailing. Each one was the size of a washbasin, with thick and powerful legs.

"Boss, I want all the king crabs and Australian lobsters here." Su Yang got straight to the point, his tone flat.

The burly man turned his head and sized Su Yang up. He saw the four stunning beauties behind Su Yang, and a flash of amazement crossed his eyes. But he quickly returned to normal; businessmen valued money most.

"Brother, don't joke around. This batch just arrived. There are a full three hundred king crabs and over two hundred Australian lobsters. They're all top-grade, and each one costs over several thousand yuan. You want them all? That's definitely not a small amount."

Su Yang didn't bother with nonsense and reached directly into his pocket. He pulled out two glittering gold bars and slammed them onto the table in front of the stall owner with a 'pah' sound.

"This is the deposit. Immediately find me a clean open space and set up dozens of large iron pots. Boil all these crabs and lobsters for me. Make it fast."

The sound of the gold bars hitting the table was crisp and pleasant.

The stall owner's eyes instantly lit up. He picked up a gold bar and bit it hard. The tooth mark was clearly visible. No doubt, it was real gold!

"Big boss! Please wait a moment! I'll arrange it immediately!" The burly man's attitude underwent a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn. His Face was covered in a flattering smile.

Money makes the man. In the eyes of a businessman, this was an eternal truth.

The owner immediately stopped the workers from unloading. He directed everyone to push the water tanks filled with king crabs and lobsters to an open space behind the market. At the same time, the owner spent a high price to rent thirty massive iron pots used for boiling mutton soup from nearby food stalls. Workers moved the iron pots along with dozens of large gas tanks.

Thirty large iron pots were lined up. Workers lit the fires and boiled water. Blue flames licked the bottoms of the pots. The scene was extremely spectacular.

The surrounding vendors and workers all dropped their tasks and gathered around to watch the excitement. Such a domineering act as boiling hundreds of top-tier king crabs at once was something they had never heard of in their lives.

"Boss, this gesture is indeed a bit too large." Reba looked at the baskets of giant seafood being poured into the boiling water and couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Can't be helped, I'm raising a Rice Bucket at home." Su Yang touched the ice crystal bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet emitted a faint chill, seemingly expressing a protest.

Just as the water was about to boil and the first batch of king crabs was ready to go into the pots, an accident suddenly occurred.

Several black refrigerated trucks with the words 'Sea Emperor Palace' printed on them roared up. The vehicles stopped right next to the open space. The doors opened, and five or six men in suits stepped out.

The leader was a young man with slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses. When he saw the dozens of large pots in the open space, his Face darkened instantly. His eyes were full of fury.

"Boss Wang! What on earth do you mean?!" The young man strode up to the stall owner and questioned loudly. "I settled with you yesterday that we wanted half of this batch of Russian king crabs. Now you've pulled them all out to boil? What will our Sea Emperor Palace use for the main course at tonight's seafood banquet? Do you not want to stay in Jinghai Bay anymore?"

The stall owner looked troubled, rubbing his hands and smiling apologetically. "Manager Liu, I'm truly sorry. This gentleman offered double the price and paid the deposit directly with gold bars. In our line of work, it's naturally the highest bidder who gets the goods. How about you look at another shop's stock?"

"Bullshit!" The youth called Manager Liu flew into a rage. He pointed at the stall owner's nose and cursed loudly. "In all of Jinghai Bay, besides your place, who else has such top-quality goods? Our Sea Emperor Palace hosts Beijing's VIPs. If something goes wrong, you definitely won't be able to handle the consequences!"

After scolding the owner, Manager Liu turned to stare intently at Su Yang. His gaze held undisguised contempt and arrogance. He even cast a greedy glance at Reba and Lin Lang.

"Kid, I want this batch of goods. No matter how much you paid, my Sea Emperor Palace will pay a hundred thousand more. If you're smart, take your money and get lost. Don't be an eyesore here." Manager Liu's tone was extremely arrogant.

Su Yang didn't even give him a direct look. He continued to stare at the crabs in the pot that were gradually turning red. The aroma of the crabs had already begun to waft out.

"The heat isn't quite enough; add more fire." Su Yang said to the worker tending the fire nearby, completely treating Manager Liu as if he were air.

Being completely ignored, Manager Liu felt he had been greatly insulted. In the Beijing catering world, the Sea Emperor Palace was a top-tier high-end club; who would dare not give him some Face?

"Are you deaf!" Manager Liu roared and took a step forward. He reached out his right hand, grabbing straight for Su Yang's shoulder.

Before his hand could touch Su Yang's clothes, Mary suddenly moved. Her movement was as fast as lightning.

Mary grabbed Manager Liu's wrist. Expressionless, she gave her fingers a gentle twist.

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking was incredibly crisp. It could be heard clearly even in the noisy market.

"Ah—!" Manager Liu let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. He knelt directly on the muddy ground in pain, cold sweat pouring down his body. His left hand clutched his broken right wrist tightly.

"If you dare reach out your claws again, I'll chop off both your hands and feed them to the dogs." Mary looked down at him. A dangerous red light flickered in her deep blue eyes. A sliver of the Vampire's Killing Intent was released.

Seeing this, the bodyguards Manager Liu brought with him roared and lunged at Mary. Each one clenched their fists, ready to fight.

Mary gave a cold laugh. She was just about to start a slaughter and drain these people into mummies.

"Leave them alive. Don't let blood splash into the pots; it's fishy," Su Yang instructed flatly.

Mary curled her lip and retracted her nails.

Her figure charged into the crowd of bodyguards like a bolt of electricity.

She didn't use any supernatural powers, relying solely on pure Physical Body strength and fighting techniques.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of fists hitting flesh rang out in rapid succession.

In less than ten seconds, the five burly bodyguards were all lying on the water-soaked ground. They clutched their stomachs and ribs, wailing frantically, unable to even crawl up.

The surrounding crowd let out a burst of gasps. Everyone backed away, fearing they would get into trouble. This blonde beauty looked delicate, but she was actually so violent and terrifying when she fought!

Manager Liu clutched his broken wrist, looking at Su Yang and Mary with a pale Face. He understood in his heart that he had definitely kicked a steel plate today. The other party didn't care about the Sea Emperor Palace at all.

"You... you wait! How dare you hit people from the Sea Emperor Palace, you're dead!" Manager Liu threw out a few harsh words. He scrambled back into the car and fled with his subordinates in disgrace.

"Boss, the water is boiling." Reba looked at the red crabs tumbling in the pot and swallowed her saliva. The aroma of the seafood had reached its peak.

"Take them out."

The workers used oversized slotted spoons to scoop out the cooked king crabs and Australian lobsters. The seafood was all piled onto a huge plastic waterproof sheet already laid out nearby. The bright red seafood instantly formed a small mountain. Steaming hot, it emitted an incredibly enticing fresh fragrance.

"Little White Strip, come out to eat." Su Yang unfastened the ice crystal bracelet from his wrist. He casually tossed the bracelet next to the pile of seafood.

As the bracelet hit the ground, it instantly erupted with a dazzling blue light.

A bone-chilling wind swept across the scene. The temperature plummeted by over ten degrees.

Under the shocked and fearful gazes of everyone, a translucent frost giant dragon over ten meters long appeared out of thin air. A True Dragon had manifested!

Its dragon horns were majestic, and its whiskers fluttered. The powerful dragon pressure made the surrounding ordinary people almost unable to breathe. Many people's legs went weak.

"A Dragon... it's really a Dragon!" The stall owner was so scared he fell back into a puddle, his legs shaking frantically. His teeth chattered.

The crowd was even more silent. Many people knelt directly on the ground to kowtow. In this age of technology, witnessing a living True Dragon with one's own eyes was a visual impact sufficient to destroy anyone's worldview. Some even tried to take photos with their phones, only to find the screens were black, completely unusable due to the interference of the dragon's pressure.

Little White Strip didn't care at all about the gazes of the surrounding Mortals. It only cared about the food in front of it. It was starving.

The massive dragon head moved toward the pile of seafood. Little White Strip opened its bloody maw.

Suck—

Little White Strip took a deep breath. Like a whale swallowing water, a gale arose. Dozens of king crabs weighing dozens of pounds each, shell and all, were sucked directly into the massive dragon mouth.

The sharp dragon teeth gave a gentle bite.

Crunch, crunch.

The extremely hard crab shells were as fragile as potato chips before the dragon's teeth. Little White Strip chewed a few times and swallowed them directly. Not even a crumb was spat out.

"So delicious! Mortal food is actually this tasty!" Little White Strip excitedly let out a low dragon roar. The sound was deafening. It continued to bury its head in its meal.

A king crab in one bite, an Australian lobster in the next.

Hundreds of top-tier seafood items were wiped clean by this gluttonous ice dragon in less than five minutes. Even the water stains on the ground were licked clean. Not a bit was wasted.

Having eaten its fill, Little White Strip let out a satisfied burp. Its huge mouth exhaled a blast of cold air with a strong seafood scent. The cold air swept across the ground, instantly freezing the puddles into a thick layer of solid ice.

"Comfortable! This is the life a dragon should lead!" Little White Strip picked its teeth with a claw. Then its body shrank, turning into a streak of blue light and transforming back into a bracelet that flew back onto Su Yang's wrist.

The entire scene was dead silent. No one dared to make a sound.

Su Yang pulled a thick stack of bills from his pocket and threw them to the stall owner, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze.

"Hush money. What you saw tonight, you'd better keep it to yourself."

After speaking, Su Yang led the four women and turned toward the off-road vehicle.
