Chapter 278 Waiting
The melted soup turns into a delicious carrier. With a light sip of the tongue, you can feel the delicate fish meat gently spreading on the taste buds, turning into pure sweetness and deliciousness without a trace of impurities.

This dish of native crucian carp is also made with fish bones picked out cleanly, carefully removing the flaws bestowed by the naughty world, leaving only the beauty that has not been destroyed.

This beauty brews in the mouth, bringing full freshness, the most simple and natural freshness, as if it should grow like this, as if it is its best side, the most ideal incarnation. This delicious taste accurately presents all the beauty of native crucian carp.

While the four elders were tasting the dishes, Xu Qing asked Xiang En for permission and put a dish into his mouth as well.

At this moment, this delicious taste from nature is blooming in his mouth.

It is difficult for native crucian carp to present a perfect natural form like crabs, or it can be said that the natural form of native crucian carp is that it has many bones. Fish bones are also part of its deliciousness and its most natural form.

If you want to pick out all the fish bones, it will inevitably destroy its natural shape, the only difference is the degree of destruction.

With Xu Qing's knife skills, he could naturally minimize the losses.

However, at this moment, the delicious taste in his mouth made him deeply realize that the other party had also done something similar, minimizing the losses as much as possible, and the deliciousness he finally reaped was not much different from his.

At the same time, this dish also bears the shadow of the knife skills he displayed in the first duel. The subtle natural flavor is perfectly integrated with the artistic conception of the dish itself.

It was as if there was a persistent challenger behind Xu Qing, constantly chasing his back, keeping up with his footsteps step by step, and trying to move forward side by side with him.

And if he is not careful, he will be overtaken by that persistent pursuer.

Xu Qing turned his head to look at the kitchen knife on the table and nodded slightly.

He felt it.

This was its way of demonstrating to him, showing off its strength.

This means that it will not be abandoned by him, but will always chase him and move forward side by side with him.

After chewing deeper, the taste in the four elders' mouths became even more complex and mysterious. The fragrance of the cucumber further highlighted the delicious taste of the native crucian carp, making the deliciousness more refreshing and sweet, making every chewing feel fresh, and they would never get tired of it no matter how much they chewed.

At the same time, a subtle feeling gradually extends to the heart along with the wonderful taste, outlining a wonderful feeling in the heart.

That was the bank of a rippling lake, with countless small fish swimming in the lake, crowded together, jumping, and playing around wantonly. Occasionally, a small fish would appear above the water, causing circles of tiny ripples on the surface of the lake, spreading towards the distance.

At this moment, a fishing hook crossed the surface of the lake and fell straight into the water, scaring the small fish away.

But soon, they gathered again, looked at this strange thing curiously, touched it carefully, and then swam away quickly.

Gradually they became bolder and stayed by the fishhook longer. They began to try to gnaw it, wanting to see if this strange thing was edible.

The curiosity of the little fish often kills them, but not this time.

Because of this fish hook, even if they bite it, it will not hurt them.

It is more like a small toy, a toy that fish like, and also a toy that anglers like.

The sun gradually set and the day's fishing came to an end, and as expected, nothing was caught.

The fisherman put away his fishing rod and walked away slowly.

The little fish in the lake felt lost because they lost an interesting toy.

The next day, the fishermen came again, and this time there were more brave little fish. They crowded around the fishhook, scrambling to touch this strange thing.

They were filled with great curiosity. What on earth was this strange thing?
Will it taste good?
However, their natural vigilance still prevented them from crossing the line easily, and all their attempts were kept within a safe range. However, the more small fish there were, the bolder they became.

Finally, a small fish exceeded the limit of curiosity and swallowed the hook recklessly. The fishing line suddenly dropped, but it was only a moment, but the fisherman who had been waiting for a long time seized the opportunity, pulled up the fishing rod suddenly, fished out the unfortunate little fish, and threw it into the fish basket.

Now, the little fish finally knows the price of curiosity, and finally knows whether the fishhook is sweet or fragrant.

But how can a straight fishhook without any bait catch a fish?

Didn’t the little fish struggle or fall off when it was caught?

The reason is that this fishing rod is waiting for the willing little fish, waiting for the one who is willing to take the bait.

But how can a fish be caught by a straight fishhook?
Is it too silly, too stupid, or too curious?
Or maybe it has been waiting for this fishing hook, waiting for the moment to get out of the water, waiting to see different scenery.

Is it the fisherman waiting to fish?
No, it should be said that the fish in the water are waiting for such a fisherman, a person to whom it can willingly entrust its life, a fishing hook that will not hurt it, and an opportunity for it to see different scenery.

It waits in the water, watching, thinking and hoping, until the fish hook falls, it bites it happily and never lets go.

Originally, this dish should convey peace and tranquility, where everyone can live in peace and contentment.

The fisherman never thought about catching a fish, and most small fish would not bite boring things.

But one small fish crossed this impossible line, stirring up the water in the lake and causing the rest of the small fish to flee in panic.

At the same time, this feeling subtly overlapped with the intention behind Xu Qing’s previous dish.

Both are fighting, one is fighting for his ideal, the other is fighting for waiting.

Before the opportunity comes, it will be silent and sleep, and when what it has been waiting for comes, it will move forward bravely and will never let go.

Actively fighting and actively waiting, the two different intentions complement each other, and actually made Xu Qing's intention, which had somewhat dissipated, reappear. It absorbed the intention conveyed by this dish and became more vivid and active.

Xu Qing sighed and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

It was just as he expected.

How could the awakened kitchen knife be content to sleep and be peaceful?

It can't wait to show off its power, just like the little fish that is biting the hook desperately. It is unwilling to let go even if it is a straight hook, because it has waited too long and is unwilling to wait any longer.

Xiang En wanted to overcome the dynamics of movement with stillness, and deal with the mood of "competition" with peace and tranquility.

The idea is indeed good and feasible.

But the one who had feelings for it was not Xiang En, but the kitchen knife. How could Xiang En's wishes affect it?
Moreover, Xiang En also neglected the changes in the kitchen knife's mind caused by its awakening. She did not have a telepathic connection with the kitchen knife, so naturally she did not know what it was thinking or planning.

After all, it was not Xiang En who cooked the dish, but the kitchen knife, so the final decision of what the dish would look like was not in Xiang En's hands.

Holding a kitchen knife that you cannot control, you will eventually become its puppet.

Xu Qing glanced at the Yongling Sword.

What about yourself?
If he wins, will he also be a puppet of the Eternal Spirit Sword?
