Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Wild Octopus Monster (3rd Update)
Only when it reached midair could the true enormity of the octopus monster be seen.

Its body was as big as a football field, and its tentacles were several dozen meters long.

This sight left Old Bai utterly dumbfounded.

At that moment, the octopus monster suddenly exerted its strength and, with a snap, severed the tentacle that Xue An had grasped, before hastily fleeing into the water.

Its consciousness had not yet awakened, but its biological instincts made it sense an unparalleled sense of crisis.

That’s why it was fleeing in such panic.

But Xue An just smiled faintly, “Think you can run?”

Then he said to Xiao Sha, “Catch it, and the Demon Core is yours!”

Xiao Sha nodded at the words and let out a roar towards the sky.

The sound of the dragon’s roar shook the wilderness.

Old Bai was so frightened that he almost fell off the boat, then he saw Xiao Sha suddenly reveal his true form.

A mighty golden dragon appeared in midair.

Old Bai’s whole body shook violently and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, then he kneeled thumpingly on the deck.

As a fisherman, he was born with a deep reverence for dragons, let alone now that he was seeing a living golden dragon, so Old Bai bowed his head repeatedly, like pounding garlic.

At the same time, he was thinking that his prayers must have been heard by the Bodhisattva and the Dragon King, and that’s why they came to save him.

Xiao Sha didn’t have time to care about others’ worship; as soon as he entered the sea, he went straight for the frantically fleeing octopus.

Everywhere he passed, the myriad tribes of the sea gave way, all trembling with fear and hiding aside.

This was the might of the Dragon Clan.

The octopus monster was locked in by Xiao Sha’s aura, and the suppression from the level of their lineages made it tremble all over, unable to run any longer.

After catching up, Xiao Sha didn’t hold back; he opened his dragon mouth and bit off the head of the octopus monster.

The Demon Core, mixed with flesh and blood, was directly swallowed by Xiao Sha.

Then Xiao Sha’s body shone brightly, and his dragon scales seemed to become harder.

Seeing this, Xue An smiled faintly, the octopus monster had wreaked havoc for many years, so meeting this end today was deserved.

Xue An then took a step forward and said indifferently, “Rise!”

The body of the octopus monster floated to the surface of the water.

Although Xiao Sha had bitten off its head, the octopus was still terrifyingly large.

And not all of such a large octopus could be eaten.

Growing for hundreds of years had made its flesh extremely tough, and ordinary people could not swallow it.

But Xue An was quite familiar with these things.

Having nothing else to do at one point, he had once thoroughly researched the eating habits of the Demon Race.

For these aquatic demons, he had a unique way of handling them.

Dao sword lights enveloped the octopus monster, effortlessly slicing away the extremely tough outer skin, leaving only the tender meat inside.

Very quickly.

The massive octopus monster was completely sliced up, leaving only about two to three hundred pounds of edible flesh.

But that was enough.

And because this octopus monster had cultivated for many years, its flesh and blood had special effects.

Ordinary people who ate it could not only improve their health and strengthen their bodies, but also extend their lives.

And cultivators who ate it could even enhance their cultivation levels.

However, having only this kind wouldn’t work.

Xiao Sha circled beneath the sea surface, and wherever Dragon’s Might passed,

Countless aquatic creatures automatically floated to the surface and grouped themselves by species, as if transforming into an aquarium, allowing Xue An to choose.

Flicking a finger, the selected sea creatures began to levitate.

This wondrous scene filled Old Bai, who was so dizzy from kowtowing, with envy.

After many years of fishing at sea, this was the first time he had seen such a self-service supermarket-like fishing method.

Xue An chose dozens of varieties, roughly two to three thousand pounds of seafood, felt it was enough, and then waved his hand.

The other sea creatures then sank back to the depths.

With so much seafood floating in the air, Xue An cast a spell with a flick of his hand,

“Invisible!”

The seafood and the flesh of the octopus monster rapidly contracted then turned into a greyish light orb, appearing in Xue An’s hand.

After all this, Xue An looked down at Old Bai with a face full of piety and smiled faintly.

“`

“Since fate has brought us together, I shall lend you a hand!”

As he spoke, he was about to gather a school of fish for Old Bai,

Old Bai trembled all over, his heart stirred, and then he did the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.

He knelt on the ground, and with utmost piety said, “Bodhisattva, I don’t want the fish anymore. I only ask that you could bestow upon me something from Grandpa Dragon King, so I can keep it as a family heirloom!”

Xue An paused slightly upon hearing this, then smiled and nodded, “What do you plan to ask for?”

Old Bai said softly, “I think a dragon tooth would be nice!”

At this moment, Xiao Sha had already come out of the sea, and upon hearing this, he couldn’t help but bulge his eyes.

He dares to ask for my dragon tooth?

A surge of powerful aura instantly enveloped the fishing boat.

Old Bai, frightened, quickly changed his tune, “Just kidding, whatever you wish to bestow will be fine!”

Xue An smiled and casually tore off a dragon scale from Xiao Sha.

“Keep this as a souvenir!”

With that, Xue An leapt away.

Xiao Sha glared fiercely at Old Bai, feeling somewhat disgruntled, but since it was Xue An who had torn off the dragon scale, he had no choice but to follow closely.

Old Bai stood at the bow holding a dragon scale as big as a water jar, his expression gradually becoming excited.

This… is a genuine dragon scale!

“Chairman, I think if we really can’t find that much food, we can lower the standards a bit. And having such high-end seafood for so many tables of banquets is a bit too extravagant!” A five-star head chef suggested.

“Yeah! If it’s not possible, just reserve the best for the main table, it’s fine if the other banquet tables are slightly lower in quality!” someone echoed.

These suggestions were all quite reasonable.

But Qin Yu didn’t dare to make a decision.

She understood Xue An’s intentions very well.

He was determined to make this wedding perfect in every way.

“Let’s wait a little longer, Mr. An should be back soon!”

“But I think even if Mr. Xue goes looking, he won’t be able to find so many precious food ingredients! After all, many are not available even with money!” The head chef expressed his concerns.

Just then, a streak of light flew across the sky. When it came to a halt, it was Xue An.

“Mr. An!” Qin Yu exclaimed.

The other chefs were also stunned.

So the rumors are true!

This Mr. Xue has really cultivated into an immortal, otherwise how could he fly?

At this moment, standing above Yunmeng Lake, Xue An said with a light chuckle, “I’ve got the seafood. Let’s just store it in this lake for now!”

With that, he waved his hand, “Appear!”

Whoosh!

It was like rain.

Countless seafood fell from the sky, landing in Yunmeng Lake.

The sight of seafood raining down from the heavens left everyone dumbfounded.

It took a good while before they came to their senses.

“Holy crap, is that a huge star grouper?”

“Isn’t this type of lobster extinct?”

“My God, they are all still alive!”

And amid the exclamations, the head chef also came out of his stupor, shouting anxiously, “Mr. Xue, Yunmeng Lake is a freshwater lake! These seafood will die if you put them in there!”

This remark reminded many people.

Yes!

It’s ludicrous to try to farm seafood in freshwater, isn’t it?

Xue An laughed in the air, “No worries! I won’t let them die, so they dare not die!”

Indeed.

Once these members of the Aquatic Tribe entered Yunmeng Lake, they started to thrash about vivaciously, showing not a hint of dying.

The group of chefs felt like their entire life’s knowledge had been completely overturned.

What they didn’t know was that since Xiao Sha had taken over Yunmeng Lake, it faintly possessed Dragon’s Might.

All aquatic creatures entering it would benefit from this trace of Dragon’s Might and naturally be unharmed.
