94: Chapter 94 996 There's still Sunday!

"Ah!" Tang Ruan instinctively buried her head in Yan Qing's chest.

Yan Qing didn't move.

That giant fish, which was a full three meters long, suddenly hovered in mid-air.

Immediately after, the aroma of grilled fish wafted out.

The giant fish fell onto the grass by the river, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Just as Yan Qing was about to make another move, Tang Ruan suddenly called out to him, "Don't move!"

Yan Qing lowered his eyes to look at her.

He saw Tang Ruan swallowing her saliva, her eyes shining as she stared at the fish he had scorched.

"Don't move, let me handle it!"

The beastmen dragged the giant fish to a safe area.

Tang Ruan placed her hand on its body.

[Bone King Fish: Scales are incomparably hard, meat is edible, flesh is fresh and sweet, rich in various minerals, has hemostatic properties...]

The entry that appeared in her mind this time was very long.

It displayed in great detail what the Bone King Fish's scales could be used for and what its bones could be used for.

There were even images and production processes.

But Tang Ruan's hypothesis had yet to appear.

Until she saw that one line—[Feeds on Beast-Eating Fish!]

That's it!

In her original world, one of the natural predators of piranhas is the arapaima.

She had watched a documentary...

At this moment, the documentary narrator's voice appeared in Tang Ruan's mind, "Why haven't the piranhas living in the Amazon rainforest overrun the place?

Because their natural predator lives here—the arapaima!

The arapaima has a hard shell, and the piranhas cannot bite through it..."

That's right, the Bone King Fish is this world's arapaima.

"Yan Qing! I've thought of a way to deal with the Beast-Eating Fish!"

Yan Qing tilted his head, looking at Tang Ruan; she looked very happy.

And also very hungry...

Because this was the second time she had swallowed her saliva.

Tang Ruan reached out and tapped the scales of the Bone King Fish; each scale was the size of a palm.

Even though it had been roasted, it was still incomparably hard, about a centimeter thick.

"Yan Qing, did you bring a knife?"

She looked up at Yan Qing.

A beastman who was accompanying them was about to take the knife from his waist to hand it over.

Seeing Yan Qing lift a hand, the beastman sensibly put the knife away.

He walked to Tang Ruan's side and furrowed his brows, "What do you need such a dangerous thing for?"

Tang Ruan: ...

Was he being a bit too overprotective of her?

She really couldn't explain to a Level 10 beastman that they, as Level 2 beastmen, wouldn't get hurt that easily.

"I'm making food," Tang Ruan said helplessly.

"With me here, you don't need to."

Tang Ruan had no choice but to tell him the preparation method, just like last time.

When Yan Qing heard that the Bone King Fish could be made into so many types of food, he was shocked.

Because the fish meat had many sharp spines that could scratch a beastman's throat.

But he still chose to trust Tang Ruan.

He removed the Bone King Fish's hard scales and sliced open the meat.

Suddenly, he discovered that there were no messy spines in the Bone King Fish's meat.

Because of its massive size, the spines in its body were as thick as animal bones, making them very easy to remove.

After Yan Qing busied himself for a while using his Supernatural Ability, the accompanying beastmen's jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

Because they saw the high and mighty Snake King not only grilling fish meat and boiling fish soup, but also personally rolling small fish balls.

The fragrance wafted out...

"Gurgle..."

Several beastmen's stomachs started growling.

This scent smelled fresh and sweet.

There was no fishy odor at all!

Because they thought this type of fish was ugly, and they were used to eating the smelly Beast-Eating Fish, plus the scales were hard, they had never considered it as food.

Later, when the Snake King and his Mistress went back, they would also hunt one to eat.

"Come over and try some," Yan Qing's emotionless voice came.

The few accompanying beastmen thought they were hallucinating.

They looked at each other before confirming it.

The Snake King—actually invited them to eat food he had made with his own hands!

The few of them walked over cautiously.

They knelt on the ground, raising their hands above their heads, waiting for him to bestow food upon them.

This event today would be enough for them to brag about for years after returning.

"Stand up and serve yourselves," Yan Qing placed the ladle into the pot.

If it weren't for the need for different beastmen to help taste the flavor, he wouldn't have the time to bother with them.

He carried a bowl of fish balls and walked in front of Tang Ruan.

The corners of his mouth curved into a smile, "Mistress, you try some."

The pots, bowls, and ladles were all made on the spot by Yan Qing using his Supernatural Ability.

But her bowl looked much more exquisite than the ones left for the few accompanying beastmen.

Oh!

She suddenly discovered that there was a small snake carved onto her bowl.

Could this be the little clever thought of a love-struck brain?

Tang Ruan used a spoon to scoop one up, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.

She immediately gave him a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

"Delicious!" "Delicious!" "Too delicious!" ... The beastmen not far away also echoed.

Tang Ruan smiled, "Yan Qing, you try some too."

She brought a fish ball to his lips.

Yan Qing chewed twice, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

"Not bad."

It was actually even better than the food Tang Ruan had made before.

"The Bone King Fish lives on the Beast-Eating Fish," Tang Ruan said with a smile.

"Raising Bone King Fish—" "Bone King Fish can—" The two spoke at the same time and smiled at each other.

They had thought of the same thing.

Tang Ruan explained further, "The Bone King Fish actually has a very high reproduction rate and grows quickly.

But the fish eggs are always eaten by the Beast-Eating Fish.

So, the population shouldn't be high.

We just need to raise them separately, wait a few months until the small fish are big enough, and then release them back into the river.

That can solve the problem of the Beast-Eating Fish infestation.

Once the Bone King Fish reach a certain number, they can also serve as food for the beastmen."

Yan Qing lowered his eyes to look at Tang Ruan; in the Beast World, food was the most precious thing.

His Mistress first solved the food problem for omnivorous beastmen with roasted buns, steamed buns, and so on.

Now, she had turned the infestation of Beast-Eating Fish, which threatened the safety of the beastmen, into food for the delicious Bone King Fish.

Things that were originally threats, in her hands, turned into opportunities in the blink of an eye.

He had truly found a treasure!

Yan Qing couldn't resist and lightly bit Tang Ruan's lips.

He leaned over to her ear and whispered in a low voice, "Tonight, I will properly reward you for the contributions you've made to the various tribes."

Tang Ruan punched him in the chest.

How could this man not have a single day of peace?

Even 996 has Sundays!

"However, there is one more problem now," Tang Ruan frowned, "It's best to send the raised Bone King Fish directly to the places where they are needed.

But fish cannot live long out of water."

This river is said to connect to many rivers in the Beast World.

This means that other places might also have situations where the Beast-Eating Fish are overrunning them.

If they wait for the Bone King Fish to swim there on their own, who knows how long it would take.

Moreover, they might not want to swim to other places at all...

"I can take you to travel around my cities; we can stay in each place for a few months.

We can raise the fish after we arrive."

Yan Qing suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with a smile.

He had long wanted to take Tang Ruan to see his other cities.

He usually stayed in one city for a few months.

During that time, the city lords of the surrounding cities would come to discuss development with him.

Then, he would move to another place to stay.

He had stayed in Wan Shou City for a bit longer; firstly, because he had moved the entire Snake Tribe here.

The Snake Tribe was used to a climate where the four seasons were like spring, and this place was very suitable.

Secondly, it was because Tang Ruan was here.

"Travel? That sounds great!"

Tang Ruan actually quite liked traveling.

Moreover, she could personally go to different places to find Lang Lie.

Yan Qing didn't understand what travel meant.

But he saw that she agreed.

He happily lifted her up.

"We'll leave tomorrow!"

"Wait a second, there's one more thing!"
