Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 290

“Everyone, we’ve got the most delicious shark fins in hand, just missing the seafood feast now,” Ye Junlin said, adjusting his thoughts seriously.

Hong Qianye understood immediately, “Master, I’ll get them roasted right away!”

Then, gathering his Immortal Power, he unleashed blazing flames from both hands, engulfing the vast sky in an instant, wrapping around the eighty thousand Sea Clan members.

“Ah!”

Screams echoed through the sky, sending chills down spines.

Hong Qianye was quite skillful, controlling the cooking perfectly; otherwise, with his strength comparable to an Immortal Sovereign, he would have burned that group of shrimp soldiers to ashes long ago.

Before long, a wave of perfectly cooked seafood aroma spread, smelling heavenly even from afar.

The kids next door were crying out in hunger!

“Hey, hey, hey! You can’t just throw all this seafood around uncooked!” Li Wujie said, seizing the opportunity to show off, drawing his long knife with a crisp, pleasant sound.

With a graceful move, he rushed through the wind, his posture elegant and flowing, quickly flipping his wrist as radiant Blade Aura crisscrossed.

Swish, swish, swish~

The sky filled with perfectly cooked shrimp and crabs, chopped cleanly and evenly, showcasing extraordinary knife skills.

Next, under the astonished gazes of countless people, it was as if a seafood rain descended upon the Imperial Capital—a truly spectacular scene!

“Yay! Free seafood feast, here we go!”

“Ha ha ha, I love lobsters!”

“Oh my gosh, this crab roe is so rich!”

“Thank you, ocean, for your gifts!”

Countless women cheered excitedly, welcoming this grand seafood banquet.

As long as they could grab some, they dug in right there, the air thick with the delicious scent of seafood, everyone feasting joyously.

Of course.

A small portion was set aside by Ye Junlin, just enough for them.

“Xiaoxi.”

“Here, here!”

“All this seafood, handle it for me!”

“Alright!”

Soon, Bai Xiaoxi, the team’s chef, started working on those perfectly cooked seafood again, refining it to perfection, cooking up various fresh styles.

But the most delicious had to be those four shark fins!

As everyone knows, shark fins are one of the most renowned delicacies.

They are the thin strands of cartilage from shark fins, rich in nutrients, packed with collagen, protein, and calcium.

And those heavenly tiger shark fins, from which the essence was extracted, contained unimaginable riches—especially useful for countless Cultivators, and their flavor was nothing short of exquisite!

Bai Xiaoxi, skilled in various cooking techniques, handled those four premium shark fins exceptionally well, her culinary skills top-notch.

Before long, an array of mouthwatering dishes emerged, making everyone’s mouths water.

Before their eyes were clear soup shark fins, braised shark fins, crab roe shark fins, and clay pot shark fins—four famed dishes of shark fins!

Everyone gathered around, swallowing hard.

After all, these were the best dishes of this seafood feast!

“Uh, Master, you should go first!” Li Wujie tried to hold back his urge to dive in, speaking seriously.

“I must seriously taste this shark fin,” Ye Junlin said, picking up his chopsticks to lift a piece as thin as a cicada’s wing, glistening gently, and placed it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

In an instant, an unprecedented flavor surged onto his taste buds, making Ye Junlin feel light as a feather, completely transcendent, with fragrant wisps wafting from his mouth and nose.

“Amazing!”

Ye Junlin marveled sincerely.

No wonder it’s shark fin—truly a rare gourmet food in the world!

Li Wujie couldn’t wait to dig in, and the moment the shark fin entered his mouth, it was an explosion of flavor, his taste buds nearly bursting, as if his very soul were cleansed.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”

Li Wujie relished each moment, and once he came to his senses, he excitedly repeated “Whoa” four times, the truest testament to his feelings about this dish.

“Tsk tsk, this is what happens when you lack culture,” Hong Qianye shook his head, a hint of pity in his eyes.

“Come on, come on, let me see how cultured you are!” Li Wujie retorted, unconvinced.

“Country bumpkin, watch closely.”

Hong Qianye huffed coldly, picking up a neatly cut piece of shark fin and placing it in his mouth. Though he’d mentally prepared himself, he was still taken aback by the flavor.

At that moment, he couldn’t even articulate the sensation; all that remained in his head were a few words: Too good to handle!

“Say something, why aren’t you saying anything? You’re worse off than I am! At least I can say ‘Whoa’!” Li Wujie said triumphantly.

Hong Qianye was speechless, watching the uncultured man gloat.

“Excuse me, may we try some?” Dongfang Jing and her daughter looked at the shark fins on the plate, eager to taste.

“Of course, come taste Xiaoxi’s cooking!” Ye Junlin smiled.

“Thank you!”

Dongfang Mengyao could hardly contain herself, picking up her chopsticks and shoving a piece of shark fin into her cherry-like mouth.

Suddenly, her whole body felt electrified, her gaze glazed over, breathing rapidly, she couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Ah…”

Truly, what kind of human delicacy was this?

Just one slice brought her to the peak!

Realizing she had lost composure, Dongfang Mengyao’s cheeks flushed, and she shyly said, “Sorry, it’s just too delicious, so I…”

“Totally understandable,” Ye Junlin nodded.

Watching her daughter’s reaction, Dongfang Jing was skeptical, thinking to herself, “Is it really that exaggerated?”

Then, she cautiously picked up a piece of shark fin, placing it in her mouth to savor slowly.

“Oh~”

The result? Dongfang Jing’s eyes nearly rolled back, her legs trembled, and her face turned rosy, as if she had just experienced a refreshing delight.

“Mom! Are you okay?” Dongfang Mengyao hurriedly shook her mother’s arm, worriedly asking.

Before long, Dongfang Jing recovered from her previous state, glancing at the onlookers with embarrassment, she said, “Sorry, I lost my composure.”

“To be honest, I’ve had all sorts of mountain and sea delicacies in my life, but to taste such an exquisite dish, this is my first time!”

Dongfang Jing bestowed the highest praise for this dish she had ever given.

Saying this, she turned to the petite silver-haired girl, expressing admiration, “Young lady, your cooking is incredible! The palace chefs can’t even compare!”

It should be noted that Dongfang Jing’s standards for food were exceptionally high, meaning the chefs in the royal kitchen were all top-tier spiritual chefs.

But compared to Bai Xiaoxi, even if you gathered all of them, they’d still be annihilated!

Because she had surpassed the category of spiritual chefs; she was a bona fide Immortal Chef!

“Thank you~” Bai Xiaoxi scratched her head shyly, her heart immensely joyful at the praise.

“Everyone, stop dawdling, let’s eat while it’s hot!” Ye Junlin called out.

“Okay!”

Everyone was in a great mood, enjoying this lavish seafood feast.

The atmosphere was lively and filled with laughter and joy.

Pingxi Wang would have never expected that her meticulously plotted rebellion plan would end with the entire Imperial Capital being treated to a feast……

Truly, life is unpredictable, a wild ride indeed!

In the North Sea Region.

Deep in the endless ocean.

“Sea King, how’s the pressure?”

“Not bad, not bad. Push a bit harder, tonight I’ll take good care of you all,” came the response.

“Stop it~”

Inside the luxurious royal palace, the Electric Eel King was enjoying massages from a few river clam girls, a look of comfort on his face.

“I wonder how the Tiger Shark Commander is faring; it should be going smoothly, right?”

“Don’t joke around, he’s got the magical sea conch granted by the king! Even Immortal Sovereigns can be wiped out; who could possibly handle him outside?”

“Exactly, factoring in the time, the Heavenly Daughter Country should have already surrendered completely; that rascal Tiger Shark Commander is probably indulging in those women by now, getting his fill!”

“Lucky him! Those girls’ delicate skin must taste amazing!”

“Hehe, when he comes back, let’s ask him about it!”

Nearby, several commanders conversed, unanimously believing the Tiger Shark Commander would successfully conquer the Heavenly Daughter Country.

After all, compared to the magical sea conch, that Red Demon was nothing of consequence!

Anyone daring to show their face would definitely be asking for death!

All was certain, this was a guaranteed win!

But just then, a disheveled figure came rushing in, eyes wide with panic, looking as if it had narrowly escaped death.

“Tiger Shark Commander, what’s going on with you?”

His colleagues looked on in confusion.

Upon seeing the Electric Eel King, the Tiger Shark Commander’s emotions exploded, large drops of shining tears streamed down his face, crying out with all his might, “Sea King! Sea King!!”

The Electric Eel King was startled, and upon realizing who it was, snapped angrily, “Shark Wall! What’s going on with you? Did you complete the task?”

“Wuu wuu wuu~”

The Tiger Shark Commander knelt down before him, sobbing, with difficulty stammering, “You have no idea, I, I…”

“I’m not whole anymore!!”
