Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 494

Chui Yim nodded and ran towards the fence with the fat golden scale, but the next second, a celestial aura stopped them in their tracks.

Frozen, the both of them turned around subconsciously to see a figure coming out of his house toward the garden. The man stood there and stared at them.

He did not even have the time to tie his hair up.

Looking at the both of them trembling in fear, Sung Tsz Hin sighed. “Naughty boys.”

Chui Yim let out a shriek and pushed the fish into Kam Chin Kee's hands. “Hurry and leave!” He then turned to pounce on Sung Tsz Hin.

Sung Tsz Hin shook his head at the teens. “You'll never be able to escape.”

To Kam Chin Kee, the ordinary-looking fence in front of him had become an invisible screen that he would never be able to take a single step through.

This was Sung Tsz Hin’s house after all, which meant that this small area was his world, and he could decide if he wanted to let them leave or not.

Chui Yim dashed at Sung Tsz Hin like a ball of flame only to realise that Sung Tsz Hin was an illusion! Chui Yim was in a daze, but the anxious Kam Chin Kee reminded him immediately, “Great Senior Brother is still having his silent moment, this is just his consciousness!”

Just then, the sky vibrated violently, and all the golden scales in the pond started to stir, putting a smile on the teens’ faces.

“Third Senior Brother, faster!”

A giant hand had appeared in the sky. It was a chubby hand, and the fingers looked just like tiny carrots. Shortly, this hand barged into Sung Tsz Hin’s world.

Kam Chin Kee immediately threw the fat fish towards the sky, and the hand caught the fish before retreating immediately.

“Third Junior Brother must miss his time reflecting at the cliff.” Sung Tsz Hin’s voice came from afar, making the hand stop in the sky.

“Don't hesitate, Third Senior Brother! We will never be able to return!” Chui Yim yelled.

It was just stealing a fish, yet it seemed like they would be parted forever.

Determined, the giant hand retreated immediately, but at the same time, he grabbed the teens in another.

“Hurry! We have to cook and eat it before Great Senior Brother ends his silent time or we will all be dead!” Third Teacher Hui Sai Cheong still looked the same as he did four years ago, but he was currently in an anxious state.

“Haha, we have enough time.” On the other hand, Chui Yim was calm. He was the one who thought of this entire plan, which he called Robbing Dragon. “You agree with me, right Ming Sum?”

However, Lam Ming Sum did not have the time to care about him.

Four years had passed, and the shy girl had grown into a tanned teenage girl. She still had fox-like eyes and a button nose, and she looked like a fox when she smiled, looking just like a friendly girl next door.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead and stared at the golden scale in front of her.

Not only her, but ninety per cent of g-chefs in the world had never handled such a rare ingredient. However, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know what to do with it; she was well prepared for this project.

She picked up Heart Defender and mumbled a few words before opening her big, bright eyes. Despite already becoming a teenager, she was still like the little girl from a few years before, whining when she was upset, except that she was a great master g-chef now.

Staring at the fish with her shiny eyes, she pierced her knife into the fish's head, which died a painless death.

Lam Ming Sum inserted energliph into the knife and frost was inserted in the fish before the knife was removed. It was pulled out silently like silver lightning. There was not even a speck of blood to be seen because Lam Ming Sum made use of the cold gliph of Heart Defender to seal the fish’s injuries.

Whoosh… Lam Ming Sum hurriedly scraped off all the scales before turning to the stove where there was a boiling pot of water. She placed a rack on the water and threw the fish on it with a few scallions before closing the lid.

The teens had no opinion on how she was cooking the fish, and Hui Sai Cheong was even looking at her with a gaze of commendation.

Divine beasts like gold scales need not be overly prepared. In fact, too much seasoning would cover up the fish’s original sweetness.

“Faster…” Hui Sai Cheong stared at the huge pot while counting down in his heart.

“It’s done!” Lam Ming Sum shouted and opened the lid. Golden steam was coming out of the pot.

The teens were in a daze looking at the shining golden fish. They could sense how bouncy and chewy the fish meat was just by looking. But they did not have much time to think as they already felt a scary aura coming from behind them.

The Cloud Palace disciples stayed very near each other, allowing the teens to reach Hui Sai Cheong’s residence the instant they escaped, but this also allowed Sung Tsz Hin to arrive within no time as well.

“Ah!!!” Hui Sai Cheong let out a scream before his “death” and stuffed the fish into his mouth. The teenagers who were in a daze found that only half of the fat fish was left when they regained their senses!

“Ah!!!” They yelled similarly before snatching up the food.

Chui Yim wore an extremely enjoyable expression. The fish melted into the purest essence in his mouth and slid down his throat the instant he placed it in his mouth; it was just like an unforgettable wine! He was willing to take any risk and pay any price just for this bite!

But he didn’t notice Kam Chin Kee next to him flushing red after taking a bite.

“Not again…” Kam Chin Kee immediately recalled the incident that happened after eating Ming Sum’s One-Pot back then, and with a cry, he fell to the ground.

Sung Tsz Hin arrived just in time to be welcomed by the aroma of his fish, Hui Sai Cheong with his mouth stuffed with fish meat, Chui Yim grabbing another piece with his chopstick, Lam Ming Sum staring at Kam Chin Kee worriedly, and Kam Chin Kee looking drunk on the ground.

Expressionlessly, Sung Tsz Hin slapped Kam Chin Kee’s shoulder, making him feel at ease very soon, but unconscious.

“Send him back to his room,” Sung Tsz Hin told Hui Sai Cheong and left, leaving the rest staring at each other at a loss.
