The Secret of the Seal Chapter 209

Qin Zongheng was delighted to hear Qin Dong's answer. He even used to offer to unite with Li Yunteng regardless of his status to please Qin Dong. Now, Qin Dong already treated him as his family.

Qin Zongheng gripped Qin Dong's hand in excitement, "Xiao Dong, I'm…so happy!"

Qin Zongheng led a hard life, shouldering his clan's future. Qin Dong looked at grey-haired Qin Zongheng, pity bumbling up in his mind.

"Alright, grandpa. I understand your feeling. We're family. I'll give a hand to Clan Qin whenever it is in need! Big brother, you're hungry? The fire carp is delicious and beneficial for your cultivation base!"

Qin Feixiong realized Qin Dong's awesomeness, and took the fish in a hurry.  "Feixiong, you just wait for a while. I ask someone to stew the fish first." Qin Zongheng hastened to reply.

Qin Dong prevented Qin Feixiong's giving the fish to Qin Zongheng, "Grandpa, big brother, the fish cannot be stewed. Its spiritual energy will lose if it's cooked. Then, it'll be a common fish."

"Eat it…alive?" Qin Zongheng was astounded.

"Exactly! Eat it alive!" Qin Dong nodded seriously.

"Really? Eat it alive!" Astonished, Qin Feixiong looked at the struggling fish in hand, and did not dare to eat.

Qin Dong looked more solemn, shouting, "Yes! Eat it alive!"

Bitterness unfolded on Qin Feixiong's face, and he turned to Qin Zongheng, who smiled wryly, "Xiao Dong's practice must be good for you. You just…eat it alive. Can't you endure that for being a stronger cultivator?"

"Endure?" Qin Dong widened his eyes in surprise, "Do you know how precious the fish is? In the mortal realm, only the true spiritual energy icy water can nurture the fire carp. It is desired by lots of people. You regard eating it as torment?"

Qin Zongheng answered in awkwardness, "We don't mean the fish is not good. We are not used to eating it alive…"

Qin Dong interrupted him with his words unfinished, "Because you've never tasted it, and have no idea about its deliciousness. The fire carp loves living in icy water, and its meat turns to be fresh and tight for defending against chill. The fish that grow up in the true spiritual energy icy water are better in taste. If eating fire carp is torture, I would like to be tortured my whole life!"

He bit hard on the fish, tore off a piece of meat, thrust into his mouth, and chewed carefully. Pleasure etched across his face.

Qin Zongheng, Qin Feixiong and Qin Feiyan still doubted Qin Dong's remarks. But Qin Feixiong had to take it no matter how unpalatable it was, following Qin Dong's example. He closed eyes, and had a bite. Qin Zongheng and Qin Feiyan swallowed their saliva, and nervously watched Qin Feixiong's facial expression.

At once, Qin Feixiong opened his eyes, shrieking, "Grandpa, Xiao Dong is right. The fish…is the tastiest fish I've ever taken!" Qin Feixiong had another bite immediately.

To Qin Zongheng and Qin Feiyan's surprise, no drop of blood stained Qin Feixiong's mouth corner. The fire carp was different from the common.

Besides, it looked like a piece of crystal and faintly green jade from afar, flashing. What's more, it had neither bones nor blood, boosting its eater's appetite.
