In the Thief's House, Shang Xinlei and Yan Qing were having lunch together as usual.
Today, they were enjoying Dragon Sturgeon prepared in three ways: fish head soup, one side steamed with ginger and soy sauce, and the other side grilled. Although it didn't sound like much, the Dragon Sturgeon was a demon from the Third-Turn Secret Realm, capable of slaughtering Third-Turn Messengers in the river. This demonstrated the Dragon Sturgeon's massive size and weight.
Such a ferocious demon, yet as an ingredient, it was a rare delicacy—fresh fish soup, sweet steamed fish, and fragrant grilled fish.
Besides satisfying their appetite, the energy from Third-Turn ingredients was incomparable to ordinary matter. Even if Yan Qing filled himself with regular food, he would quickly become hungry again, needing to eat six meals a day just to survive. But after a meal of Dragon Sturgeon, he could last an entire day without food.
