Li Nianfan smiled. “Mr. Yao, you came at the right time. I bought two large carps yesterday. We ate one yesterday but we haven’t eaten the other one. It turns out I was saving it for you.”

Li Nianfan was merely joking, but Yao Mengji took it seriously. He said with genuine shock and terror, “Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. Li.”

‘So, Mr. Li knew I was coming today? He was preparing a farewell dinner for me!’

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai had already walked to the center of the yard. There was a stream that was used as a fish pond, very convenient. Inside, a fish was swimming languidly.

The stream was connected to the pond in the backyard. However, Li Nianfan used a net to block the fish from swimming to the backyard.

This fish was a well-grown grass carp that seemed active. Even though it seemed relaxed, any slight movement would make it flip its tail and swim away rapidly with caution.

However, even though it was a very cautious fish, Xiao Bai could easily capture it anyway. Xiao Bai reached its hand into the water without any expression and caught it effortlessly.

Pud! Pud!

The fish shook vigorously in Xiao Bai’s hand but could not get out. Its hand secured around the fish like a plier. The struggling fish started getting worn out and struggled less. Eventually, it became the fish on the chopping board for the chef to cook.

Slap!

Xiao Bai used the chopping knife to slap the head of the grass carp. This instantly made the grass carp stop moving. It went off peacefully.

Descaled the fish, opened the mouth. Xiao Bai performed the procedure fluently. Soon, the fish was prepared.

Xiao Bai then cut off the head of the fish and placed its body aside to start preparing the fish head tofu soup.

The making of tofu was not difficult. Li Nianfan had planted soybeans in the backyard. Having both the ingredients and the recipe, tofu was something he could eat any time.

Xiao Bai took out the white and crystal-like tofu from the fridge by the stream and started cooking.

Meanwhile, Yao Mengji sat in his seat and blanked out. Although he was comforted by Li Nianfan, it was still impossible to ignore his impending death. From time to time, he would let out a sigh and look depressed.

The tea by the side had also turned cold.

In such a situation, company was needed more than consultation. Li Nianfan did not say anything. He simply sat there, waiting for Xiao Bai to prepare the meal and hoping that Yao Mengji would feel better after tasting the delicious food.

He did not have many friends in this Immortal Realm, so one friend gone was one friend less. He hoped that Yao Mengji would be fine.

In the yard, Li Nianfan accompanied Yao Mengji as he blanked out while Daji practiced checkers by the side. Blackie laid on the ground lazily. Xiao Bai was the only one moving around preparing the meal.

Boil! Boil!

Somehow, a burst of smoke lifted the lid of the casserole, causing a crisp sound. Once the lid was opened, thick smoke wafted out.

A strong fragrance came in waves, engulfing the entire yard and flowing into their bodies through their nostrils. It encouraged one to take a deep sniff, giving one a pleasant feeling all over the body.

Hmm?

The blanked-out Yao Mengji jolted as he took a sniff unconsciously. His pupils dilated.

Smells good!

The fragrance went through his nose and into his stomach. Since it was merely air, it upset his stomach and it started to shrink uncontrollably.

Growl! Growl!

The sound was followed by hunger. His stomach was rumbling!

Instantly, Yao Mengji’s face flushed red. He was too ashamed! It had been so many years since he had forgotten the feeling of hunger. Now he felt it again and his stomach was growling!

It was apparent that he was still a half-dead person moments ago, but now his stomach was growling! This was…too embarrassing!

‘No, Lord! Let me die instead! I’m so ashamed!’

He looked toward the direction of the scent and saw that Xiao Bai was walking over with the fish soup in its hands. Smoke was swirling above the casserole.

Through the smoke, one could easily see the white fish soup. The color of the soup was pure without oil floating on top. It was the purest combination of the fresh fish head with tofu

The soup was sparkling under the sunlight.

Beneath the thick soup, the beautiful fish head was half visible. The fish head was complemented by a few jade-like tofu, making them the best combination!

The fragrance of the fish soup was not too strong. It was more of a long-lasting and fresh scent, flirting with one’s taste bud.

With a look at the fish soup and the smell of the delicious fragrance, one would want to taste it instantly.

Gulp!

Yao Mengji swallowed as he stared at the fish soup. A wave of desire overwhelmed him. He thought he was half-dead and that nothing in the world could tempt him. Yet, now he realized he was wrong—he was very wrong!

It turned out that the temptation of good food was able to battle one’s despair of death.

Li Nianfan saw Yao Mengji’s reaction and a smile curled upon his lips. As expected, there was nothing a good meal could not solve.

Xiao Bai had already scooped a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Yao Mengji. “Enjoy.”

“Thank… Thank you.”

Yao Mengji accepted the fish and could not help bringing it up to his nose for a good sniff.

The warm fragrance excited him. Besides the half-filled soup in the bowl, there was a piece of beautiful fish meat with two crystal-like cubes of tofu.

He gulped and impatiently raised the bowl to take a sip.

Instantly, the thick, white fish soup flowed into his mouth. Its smooth texture made him feel pleasant. Most importantly, the aroma of the soup burst into his mouth and wrapped around his throat like top-graded silk wrapping around one’s skin. He was almost unwilling to swallow.

He could not help using his tongue to flirt with the fish soup before swallowing it slowly like a long and narrow stream.

“This…this is too delicious!”

Yao Mengji opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise and shock. He could feel every cell in him opening up, feeling extremely relaxed.

He could not help lowering his head to take another big mouthful of it.

Gulp!

This time, he took in a piece of tofu with the soup. The silky and extremely smooth tofu seemed to have blended in with the soup. Before he could chew on it, the tofu had already melted in his mouth.

Instantly, the tofu’s fragrance and the fish soup combined perfectly, making the soup even more delicious than it already was!

“Delicious! So delicious! This was definitely the most delicious dish I’ve ever eaten in my life!”

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

Yao Mengji seemed to have completely zoned out. He grew more impatient as he drank, and ended up covering his entire face with the bowl.

However, behind the bowl, his tears were running down his cheeks.

‘I can’t believe I get to taste such a delicious dish before I die. My life is complete. I have no more regrets!’ he thought.

“I’m so embarrassed!” Yao Mengji wiped off his tears hurriedly. “Can I please ask for another bowl?”

Li Nianfan said, “No problem, you can have as much as you want!”
