Chapter 360: Diving for Sea Lobsters

Ning Fei piloted the Submarine to the underside of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship. A mechanism resembling an elevator descended from the vessel; he drove the Submarine onto the platform, and it slowly hoisted him upward.

Once inside the secondary airlock, the cruise ship automatically drained all the seawater.

Ning Fei emerged from the Submarine, stripped off his diving suit, and stowed away the oxygen tank.

This trip to the ocean floor had been incredibly rewarding.

Piloting the Submarine through the depths felt fantastic.

He climbed the stairs to the deck, only then realizing the sun was already setting. The clouds in the western sky were dyed a brilliant gold.

"I can't believe it's already this late!"

"I was so focused on exploring down there, I didn't even notice the time slipping by," Ning Fei muttered to himself.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Just then, Little Dog barked and trotted over, a food bowl clamped firmly in his jaws.

When it came to eating, Little Dog was undoubtedly the champion of Qingfeng Temple.

"Alright, alright, let's get you guys fed first."

Ning Fei returned to his room and brought out Canned Pet Food, sausages, and cartons of Yili milk. He called all the little ones over and began distributing their meal.

He sat on the deck while the adorable animals ate quietly beside him.

Little Dog ate the most ferociously, scarfing down his food like a ruthless eating machine.

The three Xiao Heijiu each had their own small bowl filled with milk, happily lapping it up.

Occasionally, one of the little black kittens would tilt its head back, mouth smeared with milk, looking incredibly cute.

It was a beautiful scene.

The setting sun dyed the sky red. On the boundless ocean, a solitary cruise ship drifted along, while upon its deck, Ning Fei fed his group of cute pets.

Watching this moment filled the viewers with a deep sense of relaxation.

Ning Fei was starting to feel a bit hungry himself.

The refrigerator was well-stocked with vegetables and meat; he had prepared plenty of supplies for this voyage.

But since he was out on the open sea, it only made sense to eat what the ocean had to offer.

While piloting the Submarine back up, he had spotted quite a few good things.

So, after finishing with the animals, Ning Fei changed into his swimsuit and put on his goggles, looking as though he were about to dive right back into the water.

Is Temple Master Ning going back into the sea?

"I'm getting hungry, so I'm going to catch something for dinner," Ning Fei said with a smile.

He then leaped from the bow of the ship, springing off the edge as lightly and gracefully as a professional diver.

In midair, his body completed a full vertical spin. At the exact moment he hit the surface, he straightened his arms, entering the water with barely a ripple.

Splash!

Only the tiniest splash blossomed on the ocean surface.

Holy shit! He even knows how to dive!

He's a god!

I make a bigger splash just skipping a stone!

Is there anything this man can't do?

Ning Fei swam across the surface.

The viewers stared at the live broadcast, feeling a bit confused.

What is Temple Master Ning trying to do?

Catch fish barehanded in the open ocean?

While everyone was still wondering, Ning Fei suddenly broke the surface, shooting up from the water.

Looking closely, they could see him gripping a massive lobster the size of a human calf.

"I don't have anything special for dinner tonight, so I'll just have to settle for some stir-fried sea lobster," Ning Fei laughed as he climbed back up the ladder.

Hearing his casual tone, the viewers were left completely speechless.

Temple Master Ning is asking for a beating with that comment!

Such a humblebrag!

My god, that lobster is huge!

I'm drooling just looking at it. Meat like that has to be delicious!

What kind of lobster is that? An Australian rock lobster?

Australian lobsters are freshwater lobsters. This is a sea lobster; its shell is harder, and the flavor is even better.

Right, and a sea lobster of this size is incredibly rare. After all, a lot of fish feed on them, so it's not easy for a lobster to grow this big.

Temple Master Ning has crazy luck.

Ning Fei headed to the kitchen. Staring at the enormous sea lobster, he quickly got to work.

The drone flew in after him.

"Tonight, we're having stir-fried sea lobster!"

"Sea lobsters are a superior breed with firmer, more tender meat. When cleaning them, you have to be very thorough," Ning Fei explained while his hands kept busy.

The viewers watched with endless envy.

The food streamer is at it again!

I'm watching this and tears are flowing straight out of my mouth.

A lobster like that would probably sell for over a thousand yuan on the market.

An Australian lobster already costs seven or eight hundred. For a sea lobster this big, you absolutely couldn't get it for less than three or four thousand.

Welcome to the Temple Master of Qingfeng Temple's stream. The stream's true name is: The Mundane Life of a Filthy Rich Tycoon.

Ning Fei chopped the lobster into pieces and washed them thoroughly.

The tender white meat was exposed, making everyone gulp back their saliva.

Then, he fired up the wok, poured in some oil, and tossed in scallions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry. Once they were fragrant and cooked, he scooped them onto a plate.

Next, he dropped the lobster into the wok, poured in cooking wine, sprinkled in cumin powder and other seasonings, and let it simmer over the fire for over ten minutes.

When it was almost done, he added the scallions, ginger, and garlic back in with the lobster. He threw in a handful of glass noodles, followed by a splash of fish soy sauce, a dash of vinegar, a little soy sauce, and a small amount of water.

After a vigorous stir-fry, the flavors of all the ingredients gradually seeped deep into the exposed lobster meat.

The shell turned a vibrant red, and the meat slowly took on the rich color of the broth.

Ning Fei was exceptionally skilled in the culinary arts.

There was a distinct artistry and aesthetic beauty to the way he cooked.

To put it simply, his "artistry and aesthetic beauty" just meant he was an impeccably clean, handsome guy wearing an apron, entirely focused on making a meal.

When a person is that handsome, everything they do looks like art.

A flood of female fans spammed the chat with comments like, "That's my husband!" and "He's mine!"

Once the stir-frying was complete, Ning Fei poured the lobster out onto a large plate.

The lobster meat was white with hints of red, accented by the rich colors of the seasonings. It looked practically translucent, instantly stirring up an intense appetite.

I'm so hungry watching this!

I just finished eating, so why did I open Temple Master Ning's stream!

I can't take this! Watching it without being able to eat it is the worst!

My diet is ruined. I'm ordering some spicy crawfish right now to satisfy my cravings.

Eating a steamed bun while watching someone else cook... gotta say, it actually tastes pretty good!

With the lobster ready, Ning Fei went to fetch his bowl and chopsticks.

The orthodox way to eat a giant lobster was to use a knife and fork, cracking the shell open and spearing the meat.

But Ning Fei had always been a chopsticks-only kind of guy; he never used a knife and fork for his meals.

The rice steaming in the rice cooker was also done.

He scooped out a bowl of rice and fished out a small dish of pickled vegetables from his pickling jar.

Even though he was out at sea on a luxury cruise ship, pickled vegetables were an absolute necessity.

When the viewers realized Ning Fei had a room on the cruise ship dedicated entirely to storing pickled vegetables, they didn't know what to say.

He's rich, so he does what he wants.

With everything perfectly laid out, Ning Fei picked up a large chunk of lobster meat and popped it into his mouth.

The meat was incredibly soft yet had a satisfying, chewy texture. With just one bite, the rich flavor coated his entire mouth.

"Not bad. Very fresh," Ning Fei sighed in satisfaction.

His comment immediately sparked another wave of question marks and complaints in the chat.

Seeing the look of pure enjoyment on his face, the viewers drooled, practically dying of envy.

Infuriating streamer, making us mad live!

Let's crowdfund to beat up the streamer!

Are you sure? You think you can beat him?

Reminds me of that time an underground boxer got knocked out cold by Temple Master Ning with a single palm strike.

Underground boxer: Motherfucker, everyone finally forgot about that, thanks a lot.
