In fact, while Cheng Xiaofan was lecturing the little white dragon, his heart had been beating very hard.
Fortunately, he came to White Python Lake today and coincidentally witnessed the little white dragon confronting the mutated sea turtle. Otherwise, the little white dragon would have had a hard time escaping.
"I understand, master. I will definitely keep your words in my heart!" the little white dragon, blowing bubbles underwater, responded cautiously.
His master's expression was so serious.
It was said that dragon meat was the most delicious thing in the world. If he wasn't capable, would his master kill him and eat him?
He was so panicked!
He was truly terrified!
He would definitely show his master how capable he was from now on!
His master was a very proud person, unlike his timid divine pet!
Although these were all the little white dragon's thoughts, with his spiritual sense, Cheng Xiaofan could still feel the little white dragon's fear.
"Little white dragon, cultivate here quietly and don't overthink things. I will always be your supporter!" Cheng Xiaofan called out to it comfortingly, then stepped onto his small boat and returned to the shore.
Back in the back mountain, Cheng Xiaofan directly removed the sea turtle, extracted its internal organs, and handed them to the Sky-Shattering Eagle to deal with.
After all, these were delicacies the Sky-Shattering Eagle dreamed of eating.
This sea turtle weighed at least nine hundred catties.
Cheng Xiaofan took out the turtle meat and stored it separately in his spatial dimension.
The sea turtle's carapace and plastron were very hard. Cheng Xiaofan planned to decorate them later and hang them on the wall of the bamboo villa by White Python Lake.
These were treasures that could ward off evil!
Returning to the new villa, Cheng Xiaofan immediately took a turtle leg from his spatial dimension. He weighed it in his hand, and it was over sixty catties.
He had to use a knife to cut the turtle leg in half.
Cheng Xiaofan placed the halved turtle leg into a large pot, filtered it with clean water, added various seasonings, infused it with a stream of spiritual energy, lit a fire, and stewed it over low heat.
After the turtle leg meat was tender, he took out half of it, put it in a large basin, covered it with a cloth, and placed it on his motorcycle.
This was what Cheng Xiaofan wanted to give his parents to try.
In Zhuxi Village, Cheng Xiaofan was known as a filial son. Of course, he wouldn't forget his parents when he had delicious food.
He rode his motorcycle and sped to the old house like a gust of wind.
Upon entering the house, Cheng Xiaofan found Miao Dachun from the polder area had arrived.
"It smells so good! Xiaofan, what is in this basin?" Miao Dachun asked curiously as he saw Cheng Xiaofan walking in with a large basin in his hands.
"Grandpa, you're in luck today!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I caught a mutated sea turtle today. Just one turtle leg weighed over sixty catties. I cut it in half and just finished stewing it. I'm bringing half to let Mom and Dad try!"
Miao Dachun was stunned speechless when he heard this.
He asked with a look of disbelief, "What kind of sea turtle, that big? A leg that heavy?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Grandpa, you don't know this, but among sea turtles, there's a species called the Leatherback Sea Turtle that can weigh up to a ton!"
Miao Dachun's eyes darted around, and he asked curiously, "Xiaofan, it's far from the sea here. Where did you catch this sea turtle?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately dodged the question, saying, "I caught it in the mountains. Why else would I call it a mutated sea turtle? Someone must have kept a sea turtle as a pet years ago and it accidentally escaped into the mountains."
"As for its specific origin, I don't know. Anyway, it's delicious!"
His last sentence meant that he was telling Miao Dachun not to inquire further about the sea turtle's origin. Wasn't it a great thing to have such delicious food?
Hearing him say this, Miao Dachun nodded and smiled, "Xiaofan, you're right. As long as it's delicious, that's all that matters."
Cheng Fugui uncovered the cloth on top and exclaimed in shock, "Heavens, such a big piece of turtle leg! It must be around thirty catties. We can't possibly eat all of this in one meal!"
Miao Xiuhua immediately said, "Cut half of it with a knife, and let my eldest uncle take it home later!"
Miao Dachun chuckled, "That's a great idea, Xiuhua. Then I won't be polite. I can use it to entertain Shuishang and Tusheng's girlfriends tomorrow!"
Cheng Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard this.
His grandfather had two sons, the elder one named Shuishang and the younger one named Tusheng.
By generation, Shuishang and Tusheng were one generation older than Cheng Xiaofan, so he should call them "cousin uncle."
However, because they were about the same age, when Cheng Xiaofan was young, he often followed Miao Xiuhua to play in the polder area and called them by their names directly.
These two cousin uncles had been working outside for many years, and Cheng Xiaofan also worked outside. In recent years, they rarely met except for Chinese New Year.
Because Miao Dachun's family was not well-off, Shuishang and Tusheng, both in their late twenties, were still unmarried.
Now, hearing Miao Dachun say that he would entertain Shuishang and Tusheng's girlfriends with this turtle leg meat tomorrow, Cheng Xiaofan was stunned.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, how many girlfriends do cousin uncles Shuishang and Tusheng have?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Dachun chuckled and said, "Xiaofan, when you ask this, Grandpa sincerely thanks you! If it weren't for your guidance, how could I have become rich by raising pigs!"
"Because we expanded the pig farm, I asked your cousin uncles Shuishang and Tusheng to return from out of town to help. Some girls actually came flocking, eager to marry your two cousin uncles."
"As far as I know, five girls are coming to my house tomorrow!"
He then looked at Cheng Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, Grandpa is here this time hoping you can come to my house tomorrow and help to manage the situation."
"Those girls know that anyone associated with you will become rich and noble. The reason they are scrambling to get involved with Shuishang and Tusheng is largely related to you."
Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
Were those girls really vying to marry the two cousin uncles because of him?
However, thinking that the two cousin uncles were indeed getting old, it would be good to get married earlier and relieve his grandfather of one worry.
No matter what, he had to go tomorrow.
He immediately said to Miao Dachun, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be there early tomorrow morning."
Miao Dachun smiled, "There's one more thing I need to ask of you. You know that Shuishang and Tusheng trust you immensely and know you have good judgment."
"Tomorrow, when you get to my place, you'll have to make the decision for your two cousin uncles and pick out two from those five girls!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a wry smile, "This kind of thing should be decided by the two cousin uncles themselves. How can I make the decision for them and choose their partners?"
"No matter how you look at it, it's not reasonable!"
Miao Dachun said, "Xiaofan, what happens in the village stays in the village. When country folk find wives, it's not like you cultured people, with so many fussy requirements!"
"Xiaofan, what your Grandpa said is right. You should make the decision for your two uncles," Miao Xiuhua chimed in.
Cheng Fugui also echoed, "Listen to your mother. Don't be hesitant. Your Grandpa is rarely asking you for a favor. Don't be ungrateful!"
"I'll agree to this for you!"
