Chapter 51

Carrying the two dragon fish given by Yoshitaka Masahiro, Ting returned to Xiantao Village, where Old Meng had almost finished preparing the fish pond. According to his estimate, the water could be introduced the next day.

Back in his villa, Ting first placed the two dragon fish, then hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare two dishes. He carried them to the pond, and before he could speak, he saw the water ripple and a small black shadow leap out.

Little Fat looked at Lei Huanxi with infinite resentment, as if saying, "How could you, my heartless owner, leave for so long without leaving any good food? Look at how thin I've become..."

Thin? Why did Lei Huanxi feel that Little Fat had become even fatter?

The two dishes were devoured like a storm, and all the soup and water ended up in Little Fat's belly.

Lei Huanxi still couldn't understand how such a small body could hold so much.

Once full, Little Fat lay there contentedly, not moving an inch.

"Little Fat, are you really a dragon?" Lei Huanxi sat beside him and started chatting: "The dragons I see in movies and TV are so majestic, flying in the sky and diving into the sea, summoning wind and rain. What about you? Lazy and gluttonous, and so small. Who would believe you're a dragon?"

Little Fat lifted his head, showing infinite resentment again.

Do you have the nerve to say these things? The spiritual energy in that walnut was meant for Little Fat to use once he was born. At that time, not only could he fly in the sky and dive into the sea, but he could even reverse the sun and moon, and shift the stars.

But what happened? Most of the spiritual energy mysteriously entered Lei Huanxi's body, leaving Little Fat with only a small portion.

Can you blame me for being so small? Try being locked in a tiny walnut for thousands of years.

Can you blame me for being lazy and gluttonous? Try not eating for thousands of years, and all you do is sleep.

Nowadays, do humans even have the slightest respect for dragons? In the distant past, all living beings would show awe and reverence when they saw a dragon...

Alas, falling into Lei Huanxi's hands, meeting such an unworthy person, meeting such an unworthy person.

But what can be done? Dragons have long established a contract: whoever can rescue the last dragon on Earth must unconditionally serve him...

"Alright, since we met by fate, I'll accept you even if you're just a caterpillar."

As soon as Lei Huanxi said this, Little Fat almost spat out a mouthful of dragon blood.

A caterpillar? You... you actually call a divine dragon a caterpillar? I won't talk to you anymore, I'll never talk to you again.

Little Fat suddenly felt himself being picked up.

I won't talk to you, you despicable human, I'll never talk to you again, calling a divine dragon a caterpillar.

There was an empty fish tank in the house, which Lei Huanxi temporarily used to store the dragon fish.

Little Fat was placed next to the fish tank.

"Little Fat, do you recognize these fish? They're called dragon fish," Lei Huanxi said to Little Fat.

Hmph, do I not know? In ancient times, these lowly fish merely followed the dragons, helping to clean their bodies. Because they absorbed some of the dragon's essence, they became colorful and vibrant. The stronger the dragon, the greater the changes in the fish's appearance.

Now these dragon's cleaners are called dragon fish by humans? What right do they have to be called 'dragon'?

Little Fat felt sad thinking about it. Dragons have been extinct, but their cleaners have survived to this day. And they seem to have a high status.

As soon as Little Fat appeared, the two dragon fish sensed something. They first swam around in panic, unsure what to do, then stopped and faced Little Fat with infinite fear.

Although they had never seen a dragon, thousands of years of instinct made them reactively feel that the small, fat creature outside the tank was the most terrifying being they could imagine.

"Little Fat," seeing an opportunity, Lei Huanxi immediately tried to flatter him: "I made a bet with someone. Next week, we'll compete to see whose dragon fish is more beautiful. Can you help me?"

No, calling me a caterpillar and expecting me to help you? Little Fat made up his mind.

Seeing Little Fat's indifferent expression, Lei Huanxi's eyes twinkled: "I'll buy a big plate of shrimp, and make you some oil-burst shrimp. The taste is really amazing..."

Uh... No... Help... Do you think a plate of shrimp can make me, a divine dragon, submit?

"Then I'll make you some squirrel fish," Lei Huanxi continued to tempt: "I'll remove the bones, coat it with egg yolk, and fry it... Oh, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it..."

Little Fat felt his mouth watering... It sounds so good... Should I help him? No, no, being called a caterpillar is the greatest insult to a divine dragon... No, I won't help, I absolutely won't help...

But the temptation of shrimp and squirrel fish...

Zhao Zilong had somehow crawled in. Probably because of living with the dragon, his broken claws and legs had started to regrow, though they were still small and tender, but would soon be fully restored.

Little Fat's heart was struggling, and Lei Huanxi, seeing Zhao Zilong, came up with a plan and used his ultimate move:

"Then I'll make a fish, cut the fish meat into pieces, and coat them with egg yolk and egg white... Do you know what this is? It's called imitation crab, and it tastes just like real crab..."

Zhao Zilong was shocked and quickly fled...

It's over, it's over, Little Fat knew he had broken down... Oil-burst shrimp, squirrel fish, imitation crab... This is really killing me... Little Fat's mouth was watering...

A real man... No, I, Little Fat, can bend and stretch. Being called a caterpillar is nothing. I'll endure it and eat these delicious dishes first...

Little Fat nodded with a heart full of resentment.

Done!

Lei Huanxi was overjoyed: "Little Fat, wait here. I'll go buy the ingredients now."

He rushed out of the villa, borrowed an electric bicycle from the village committee, and headed straight to town.

He bought everything he needed, returned home, set up the pot, poured in the oil, and soon the sizzling sound and the aroma filled the air.

The aroma filled Little Fat's nose, and the dragon moved restlessly, eager to rush to the kitchen.

Despicable human, you've found my greatest weakness... Hurry up!

The two dragon fish didn't dare to move, probably wondering what was wrong with the divine dragon. Why does he look so anxious? Is he about to get angry?

Oh no, if a divine dragon gets angry, it's terrible...

After a tense wait, Lei Huanxi finally came out with three dishes.

Little Fat broke down again. Without even tasting the dishes, the colors alone made him willing to do anything.

"Good boy, Little Fat, eat up and then work hard."

In Lei Huanxi's tempting voice, Little Fat, who was already eager, dove into the plate of oil-burst shrimp.

Despicable human, why do you have to use this method? A majestic divine dragon won't easily submit... Yes, the taste is really good, much better than live shrimp... Despicable Lei Huanxi, not making it for me earlier...

Despicable human, do you know what happens when you offend a divine dragon? You'll regret it... Damn, is this squirrel fish? The taste is amazing... Eat! I eat, I eat, I eat!

Tiny human, you call a divine dragon a caterpillar, do you know the punishment you'll face... Oh no, is this imitation crab? This is the best dish I've ever eaten...

The three dishes were completely finished. Even with Little Fat's appetite, he couldn't eat any more.

His belly was so full that he lay on his back in an empty plate, his mouth moving, as if still savoring the delicious food.

So comfortable, if I can eat such delicious food every day, being called a caterpillar a few more times is fine.

Divine dragon? Forget it, what's the point of being a divine dragon if no one makes me food.

The majestic and unyielding divine dragon, Little Fat, had completely "fallen"...

"Little Fat, are you full?" Lei Huanxi, unaware of Little Fat's inner struggle, said: "We should start working now, right? Look, I've even prepared the jade to help you replenish your spiritual energy."

This stupid human, do you need jade to deal with a few fish?

Little Fat fought hard against the urge to sleep, struggling with the sleep demon, and jumped into the fish tank.

Immediately, a familiar and warm feeling filled Little Fat's body.

This was the artificial seawater Lei Huanxi brought back from Yoshitaka Masahiro, completely different from the water in the pond.

Dragons have lived in the sea since they were young, and only the taste of the sea is what they love most.

Little Fat had forgotten how many years it had been since he last entered the sea. Although this seawater was artificial, it still made him feel so warm and familiar.

He forgot his mission and swam back and forth in the water.

His fat body, surprisingly agile, made Little Fat feel like a real divine dragon.

The sea, is it his true home?

Lei Huanxi rubbed his eyes, swearing he hadn't seen wrong. As soon as Little Fat touched the seawater, his body grew slightly larger.

The two dragon fish became even more fearful, shrinking into a corner and watching Little Fat swim freely with awe.

Finally, Little Fat enjoyed enough in the seawater, stopped, and gave the dragon fish a cold look, then spread out his body.

Although they hadn't been dragon cleaners for thousands of years, the two dragon fish instinctively swam to Little Fat's side.

Their bodies were much larger than Little Fat's. The golden dragon fish suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed Little Fat whole.

Lei Huanxi cried out and rushed over, but it was too late.

A dragon was eaten by a fish.
