Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the freshly served stir-fried octopus tentacles.

The exceptional umami was spreading wildly, and even a table full of delicacies couldn’t cover it.

The fast stir-fry had retained the side ingredient green chili, red chili, and purple onion’s vibrant colors, making the dish look even more attractive.

“Smells so good. The umami is even more intense than the big shrimpy.” Amy took in a deep sniff.

“Yes. It smells like it would taste very great.” Miya nodded too.

“This is octopus tentacle?” Camilla looked at the plate of stir-fried octopus tentacles with doubt.

This was different from the slimy giant octopus tentacle covered with blood-red eyeballs in her impression.

The octopus tentacle was glazed with gleaming sauce after it was cut into small pieces. It had become the mouth-watering focus of the dish.

What was even more overboard was the aroma of the umami that greeted them. The heat brought along the irresistible umami as if it was just caught from the sea. She couldn’t help but gulp.

“Then I will start eating now.” Amy picked up the chopsticks, reached out for a piece of octopus tentacle, and fed it into her mouth.

The tender octopus tentacle made a crunchy sound in Amy’s mouth, and her eyes lit up. Her cheeks were moving furiously, and happy chewing sounds were issued. A happy smile had already appeared on her face without her realizing it.

Gulp.

Everyone gulped. Judging from Amy’s expression, it had to be another delicacy.

“I’ll try it too.” Miya also couldn’t wait to feed a piece of octopus into her mouth, and her eyes instantly turned into crescents. The crunchy octopus tentacle had an incomparable umami taste, and it danced on the tip of the tongue with the sauce, almost suffocating her.

“This is simply too delicious! It’s so fresh that I almost bit my tongue,” Miya said with an amazed expression after she swallowed the octopus tentacle.

The stir-fried octopus tentacles that obtained double recognition instantly became the focus that everyone was going to try.

At that moment, moaning and praising could be heard nonstop. Everyone was blown over by the scrumptiousness of the stir-fried octopus tentacles

“Why are you not eating?” Mag looked at Camilla, who had a hesitant expression, with a smile. The octopus tentacles on the plate were almost half-gone, but Camilla still hadn’t started eating yet.

“I’m not afraid!” Camilla glared at Mag, and immediately picked her chopsticks to get a piece of octopus tentacle.

The octopus tentacle that was coated with sauce didn’t look scary. Instead, the aroma that gently floated over together with the heat was extremely enticing.

Her teeth tore open the octopus tentacle, and the crunchy texture was even more exquisite than the crayfish’s meat. Its unparalleled umami began to radiate in her mouth invasively like a conqueror.

Right then, the tip of her tongue touched the little suckers on the octopus tentacle.

Freeze!

The hundreds of meters tall octopus monster suddenly popped out in Camilla’s mind. Its slimy tentacles began to spiral towards her, and the bloody eyes were all staring at her. That slimy sensation was so real, and they were moving and sliding all over her body…

Fear, hatred, and a hint of unexplained… pleasure!

Camilla felt that she couldn’t move at all, and could only let that octopus monster do as it wished.

Just as she was on the brink of breaking down, a ray of light appeared in front of her suddenly.

The octopus tentacles that were twirled around her were sliced off, and the restraint and slimy sensation instantly disappeared.

And behind that ray of light, she saw a strapping figure standing in between the sky and earth as if he was the one and only supreme ruler.

Perhaps… it was him?

Then, the figure whose back was facing her turned around gradually, and smiled at her.

Camilla saw that face clearly, and it was actually Mag! And he was holding that Fat Head Fish!!!

Camilla opened her mouth instantly and panted. Her eyes also happened to meet Mag, who was smiling at her.

At that moment, she actually had a difficult to explain feeling…

What was this?

Shouldn’t her hero be like Alex, who rode a purple-striped griffin, held the Tian Du sword, and came to rescue her with the lightning?

No! Only a beauty like Miss Gloria would do!

Why did it become Mag with the cleaver?

However, Camilla’s attention soon turned to the changes in her body. She suddenly realized she seemed to understand the cultivation issues that had been bothering her for years. She seemed to have seen the 10th-tier world vaguely.

After confirming again that her bottleneck was budging, her throat couldn’t help but move.

The advancement from 9th-tier to the 10th-tier was the difference of the understanding of the Way.

At first, although those weird illusions seemed creepy, it also allowed her to see something that she couldn’t see before, and her spiritual power seemed to be elevated. She seemed to gain some new understanding.

Camilla already couldn’t care about what Mag was thinking. The slimy octopus monster didn’t appear when she ate the octopus tentacle again. It became Mag flying with her on his cleaver after he saved her…

Even though it was less scary than the first illusion, it still gave her goosebumps.

What the heck was this!?

Why did he keep appearing?!

This time, the scene changed from the sky to a sea of flowers. Mag was running and laughing with her among the flowers…

“…” Camilla.

Why did it become a damn TV serial?

Camilla continued to eat the octopus tentacles. Although she couldn’t face those weird illusions, she couldn’t resist the opportunity to peep at the chance to advance.

Ding!

The chopsticks touched the plate, but there wasn’t any octopus tentacle left.

Camilla stared at the plate where only a few pieces of purple onions were left in a daze.

“It’s all gone, Big Sister Camilla.” Amy was munching on a chicken leg. “Seems like you really like to eat octopus tentacles.”

Everyone also smiled when they heard that. Camilla was so engrossed in eating that octopus tentacle, and she showed so much love for it that everyone only took a few bites, and left the octopus tentacles to her.

Camilla soon realized what happened, and she blushed. “I… It’s really very delicious.” She even glared at Mag after she said that.

Mag raised his eyebrows innocently. What was that? Why did she glare at him after she finished the delicious octopus tentacle that he made?

Amy put down her chopsticks, and told Mag, “Father, I am done. When can we eat octopus balls?”

Everyone looked towards Mag too. The stir-fried octopus tentacles brought an exquisite experience to all of them, so they had greater expectations for the other dish with the cute name.

However, Mag said before that it was a snack, so he didn’t serve it at lunch.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go make it for you now. How many of you want it? Please raise your hands.” Mag put down his empty bowl, and got up to walk to the kitchen. It was the perfect time to make the after-meal snack.

“I want a big helping!” Amy raised her hand. She looked at Annie, and added, “Big Sister Annie wants a small helping.”

“I would like a small helping too.” Miya put up her hand.

“Firis and I want a small helping too.” Angela raised her hand.

“Alright. I got the numbers,” Mag answered them from the kitchen. As he turned on the octopus ball machines to preheat it, he began to cut up the side ingredients.

He had to put an extra effort into the octopus ball itself in order to make it more delicious.

After preheating the machine, he poured a little olive oil into each hole, used a long ladle to scoop the octopus ball batter from the wooden bucket which he had mixed up earlier, and poured the batter into the hole gently. He soon filled 40 holes.

Then, Mag used a ladle to scoop up a spoonful of minced cabbage from the side ingredients box, and scattered it into the holes evenly.

The fresh red chili, peeled corns, and two-cm-long chopped octopus tentacles were placed into each hole one by one and covered by the batter. Then, another layer of batter was infused.

The iron plate’s temperature was already high enough, and the batter quickly took shape.

Mag held a long iron pick in his right hand like a sword, and flipped the side that was already formed up.

Because he was fast enough, every ball looked almost the same.Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in ɴovel(F)ɪre

In the blink of an eye, dozens of golden brown round balls appeared on the octopus balls’ machine.

At this time, a little more olive oil was added, and the balls were left to sizzle. After the surface was crispy enough, he immediately put them onto plates.

The small helping had four balls, while the big helping had six.

He drizzled the mayonnaise and ketchup over them before sprinkling the nori powder over them. Finally, he sprinkled a handful of bonito flakes, and sliced nori over them.

A helping of freshly made octopus balls was completed!
