Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Senior sister, don't be sad. Now that Luo Ding has avenged himself, he can rest in peace. But if he knew you were so heartbroken, he would surely be unhappy too!"

Zhao Zi comforted her.

Luo Haitang nodded slightly, then looked at Chen You: "Chen You, how did you find out?"

Chen You repeated his previous explanation, then cupped his hands and said, "Instructor, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"No rush. You have rendered a great service this time, how could I treat you unfairly?" Luo Haitang then had someone bring over one hundred taels of silver, saying, "Here is one hundred taels of reward silver, please keep it safe."

"Thank you, Coach."

Chen You was overjoyed.

"Senior Sister, now that we've avenged our great enemy, I think we should celebrate properly. I'll go buy some ingredients later, and we'll have a celebration then!" Saying this, she turned to Chen You: "Chen You, as the primary contributor, you should join in too. However, you'll cook the fish soup!"

Even if Zhao Zi hadn't said anything, he was still preparing to cook fish soup!

After all, we need to earn the desire points of these two people.

He never expected that learning that recipe would bring him so many desire points as a reward; it was truly an unexpected surprise.

The news of Yang Shuqing's death spread like wildfire, quickly becoming known in secret.

On a deserted island far from the coastline, jagged rocks stand amidst crashing waves that create a dull roar.

This is a secret stronghold of the Black Shark Gang, where dozens of elite members are gathered.

Inside the narrow, dark stone cave, the flickering firelight illuminated a series of sinister faces.

"Yang Shuqing is dead." A scarred man sitting at the head of the table spoke in a deep voice, his voice as hoarse as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together. "His human skin mask was torn off on the spot, and he died at the hands of that old bastard, Old Bai. However, the one who really ruined things was a kid named Chen You. He saw through Yang Shuqing and cut off Yang Shuqing's escape route with a throwing knife."

Upon hearing this, the gang members below immediately stirred up a commotion. Many of them showed resentment and fear on their faces, and they all shouted that they wanted to avenge Yang Shuqing.

"It seems our Black Shark Gang has been exposed here."

The scarred man raised his hand, silencing the commotion.

His eyes were cold as he analyzed the situation.

"Yes, we can't act for now." A middle-aged man who looked like a clerk stroked his goatee and chimed in. "The situation is too tense right now. Luo Haitang has definitely strengthened his defenses. If we rashly launch a strong attack, we might just walk into a trap and be wiped out."

"Hmph, Luo Haitang stays at headquarters every day, surrounded by experts, making him difficult to target." The scarred man sneered, a venomous glint in his eyes. "But as far as I know, Zhao Zi has been busy traveling. It won't be long before she leaves headquarters to manage her external businesses. That will be the perfect opportunity for us to strike!!!"

"The gang leader is brilliant! As long as we capture Zhao Zi, we won't have to worry about Luo Haitang not submitting!" The gang members below echoed in low voices, their eyes flashing with bloodlust.

[Information 1: After discussion, the Black Shark Gang members decided to temporarily suspend their attack and wait for Zhao Zi to leave before ambushing her!]

[Information 2: Luo Haitang is in a good mood today and specially brought out some aged Baihua wine from the cellar. This wine used to be her younger brother's favorite. Tonight, they're going to drink until they drop.]

[Information 3: Yang Shuqing, the knife-throwing expert, previously attacked the Duck King, so the Duck King was very familiar with his scent, which is why he was able to find him so accurately!]

[Message 4: Zhao Zi received a letter today urging her parents to return home. Zhao Zi is reluctant to leave and is extremely depressed.]

[Information 5: Luo Haitang used to enjoy drinking, but after her brother's death, she promised him that she would never drink again until she avenged him!]

"These Black Shark gang members are pretty shrewd."

Chen An sighed.

Actually, he really wanted to capture the Black Shark Gang members, after all, there was a reward of 1000 Desire Points.

But to my surprise, they didn't launch an attack.

Shaking his head, Chen You stopped thinking about the turmoil in the martial world.

He snapped out of his thoughts and took a precious fish from the fish basket beside him.

This precious fish was translucent pale gold in color, and its scales reflected a jade-like luster under the moonlight. It was the top-quality fish that Zhao Zi had specially sent over that afternoon.

Chen You deftly scaled, gutted, and removed the gills from the treasure fish, then rinsed it clean with water.

Next, he made several diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Heat oil in a wok, and once the oil is hot, slide the fish into the wok along the edge.

With a loud "sizzle," the rich aroma of fish was instantly released by the high temperature.

He pan-fried the fish until both sides were slightly golden brown, then poured in boiling water.

In an instant, a thick, milky white broth began to bubble in the pot.

Chen You casually sprinkled in a few slices of ginger and scallion segments, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.

Before long, a fishy aroma, carrying a faint spiritual scent, filled the entire courtyard.

As for the other dishes, a plump auntie living with us had already prepared them with great enthusiasm.

Soon, steaming hot dishes were served one after another.

Eight dishes were neatly arranged on the table!

Besides the fish soup, he also makes dishes like braised beef head, deep-fried chicken, and braised duck.

These dishes, with their perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste, looked especially tempting under the dim light, making one's mouth water.

The three sat down, and after taking a bite of the fish, Zhao Zi said, "Senior Sister, I might have to leave in three days!"

"So fast?" Luo Haitang asked in surprise, "We haven't even found the Black Shark Gang members yet. Isn't this a bit too fast?"

"Oh, something came up at home, so I'll have to leave things here in your care."

"Alright, but with so many of your hands injured today, you'll need to be careful on your way back. How about I lend you a few people to escort you?"

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister."

"Between us, there's no need for thanks," Luo Haitang smiled. "However, there's one thing I hope you'll pay attention to!"

"What?"

"You've been drinking too much fish soup!"

"I bought this precious fish."

"Chen You is my subordinate; he cooked it!"

The two got into a fight over the fish soup.

Chen You's lips twitched, and she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Next time, I'll just cook it again..."

Unfortunately, the two wouldn't listen.

A moment later, the bowl of fish soup was completely devoured.

Chen You herself didn't even get to eat many pieces.

He could only drink alone in his sorrow.

After only a few drinks, Chen You discovered that the liquor was indeed very strong!

After a few drinks, he was already quite tipsy.

If even he is like this, Zhao Zi is even worse.

"Senior sister, this is the strongest liquor I've ever drunk. I can't take it anymore, I..."

Zhao Zi let out a burp and was quickly helped away by two maids.

"It's no use!!"

Luo Haitang chuckled and raised her glass: "Chen You, let's continue drinking."

"Instructor, too much alcohol is bad for your health!" Chen You advised.

"Why do you like to give me advice just like my younger brother?"

Luo Haitang stared at Chen You and said.

Upon seeing this, Luo Haitang was stunned.

picture!!

They look so alike!

Luo Haitang sighed, "Chen You, do you know? You not only resemble my younger brother, but even your cooking and the way you speak are very similar!"

[Desire: I want to adopt you as my younger brother. (Completion rewards 80 Desire Points.)]

Upon seeing this desire, Chen You's heart stirred.

"Coach, I, Chen You, am much younger than you. From now on, I'll be your younger brother."

"Haha, good, good! You're my little brother now, let's drink!"

Luo Haitang picked up her wine glass again.

She was really happy today!

Not only did she avenge her brother, but she also met a new brother!

The two of them drank a lot more.

"Instructor, let me help you inside." Chen You swayed as she got up, not knowing how much time had passed.

"Still calling me instructor?"

"sister!"

"That's a good girl. Help...help me inside."

The aroma of wine mixed with the woman's fragrance made Chen You feel a little tipsy.

After all, he hadn't been in contact with a woman for several days.

Now, suddenly being so close to Luo Haitang, his head was spinning, completely spinning!

at the same time.

He was surprised to see that Luo Haitang's gaze towards him was different.

Just as he was helping her onto the bed, Luo Haitang suddenly hooked her arms around his neck.

"Sister, please don't do this, I'm a respectable person..."

"Don't speak, stay here tonight..."
