Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 589: The Truth of Heaven and Earth
In the end, it was Zhao Feng who helped Zhuge Fang to get over his anger.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang stopped playing tricks and humbly asked Zhuge Fang about the mystery.

Zhuge Fang felt better now, cleared his throat and explained:

"Through special processing and combination with other side dishes, I have maximized the effectiveness of the Arctic Supreme Shell while suppressing the absorption process to the most stable level possible."

"The effects you two are feeling now will not only last today, but will last for several days. According to my estimate, it will last at least seven days."

When Zhuge Fang said this, Li Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

If what he said was true, then today's all-shell banquet would be extremely extraordinary.

Zhuge Fang not only made the Arctic Supreme Shell into an edible dish, he also used his own expertise to allow them to absorb as much of the benefits of the Arctic Supreme Shell as possible.

"Of course, the two's extraordinary physiques also played a key role."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to cook such a dish."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Fang couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction, as if meeting Li Xuan and Princess Ankang was also a great blessing for him today.

And this is indeed the case.

As the head chef of the imperial kitchen, Zhuge Fang's passion for exploring culinary arts is unquestionable.

But good food needs people who can appreciate it, especially when the ingredients today are so special.

Previously, Zhuge Fang used shell juice to test Princess Ankang's endurance limit, and he was also trying to see how well he could perform today.

But no one would have expected that this princess, who was always rumored to be frail and sickly, would have such a strong ability to endure.

Zhuge Fang naturally understood the principle of not asking questions that should not be asked, but he secretly felt lucky that today's ingredients met diners who were compatible with him.

Cooking also requires a lot of fate.

Especially for dishes made from natural treasures like this, if their properties are incompatible, even a warrior with great skills will not be able to enjoy them to their heart's content.

Zhuge Fang felt that the dish he cooked today was very enjoyable and he was in a very good mood.

When explaining the subtleties of it to Li Xuan and Princess Ankang, he was so happy that he danced with joy, like a child who was having a great time.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were just listening casually at first, but as they listened they became fascinated unconsciously and became interested in Zhuge Fang's theory of food compatibility and many cooking details.

Li Xuan, in particular, actually heard the truth of the five elements of heaven and earth from Zhuge Fang's words, but he applied all these principles to his cooking.

"The five elements of heaven and earth are everywhere."

"Zhuge Fang's insights can help him become a top talent in cooking, so will it have the same effect on other skills?"

"After all, all skills in this world must follow the laws of heaven and earth and the five elements."

At this moment, Li Xuan seemed to have a different understanding of the whole world.

Some skills that used to be obscure and gave him a headache seemed to have a new perspective.

"Martial arts, alchemy, battle formations, and even cooking..."

"These seem to be just different ways of invoking the five elements of heaven and earth for one's own benefit."

"If you think about it from another angle, it's the same principle as the five elements of heaven and earth that I've been comprehending!"

Li Xuan blinked his eyes, and bright light burst out from them, and it seemed that the whole world became clearer.

When Zhuge Fang saw Li Xuan's expression, he thought that this extremely intelligent cat understood his theory and admired him very much. He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his mouth was full of saliva.

"Butler, butler..."

Zhuge Fang was talking happily, but the imperial chefs he brought with him all had bitter faces and had no choice but to call him.

Zhuge Fang was interrupted by their noise and said angrily:

"What?"

"Are there any rules?"

"Didn't you see that Her Royal Highness the Princess and I were discussing cooking?"

Several imperial chefs were as scared as quails, but they still had to remind him: "Boss, if the remaining ingredients are not processed, they will become unfresh."

With that said, Zhuge just remembered that there were still two-thirds of the Arctic Supreme Shell left.

Li Xuan also felt that the cold air emitted by the Arctic Supreme Shell was not as cold as it was at the beginning, and seemed to be losing its activity.

After all, one third of the most essential essence of the Arctic Supreme Shell had been cooked by Zhuge Fang and then eaten by him and Princess Ankang.

Zhuge Fang had already finished preparing the most important part, and was actually not very interested in the remaining ingredients, but it was his duty to do so.

"Humph, I have taught you so many times how to handle these ingredients."

"I just gave you a chance to try, but you were all cowards and no one dared to do it."

Although Zhuge Fang was wrong, as a leader he naturally could not say that it was his fault.

He immediately turned to Princess Ankang and said politely:
"Your Highness, the people under my command are somewhat incompetent. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"I just finished processing the remaining ingredients and also demonstrated some of my theories in practice."

After saying this, Zhuge Fang changed his expression again and said to his imperial chefs:
"You guys are lucky. Today, thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will show you how to prepare these ingredients again."

Although the imperial chefs were scolded, they were all delighted when they heard this. They quickly made way for the seats and at the same time, they each took up a good seat, ready to learn well.

Although Zhuge Fang seems to have a bad temper, his cooking skills are still recognized by the imperial chefs.

Zhuge Fang continued to prepare the remaining ingredients. This time he did not need to be as focused as before. He did not even have time to talk. Instead, while processing, he explained the principles and details to Li Xuan and Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang seemed to understand what was said, but the imperial chefs beside them were fascinated and listened very seriously.

In this way, as time went by, the remaining Arctic supreme clams were all made into cold dishes, leaving only an inedible shell.

"Your Highness, these cold dishes can be stored in a low temperature place for four or five days, but it is better to eat them as soon as possible. The longer they are stored, the less effective they will be."

"Besides, since these dishes have ordinary effects, there aren't too many taboos. At most, you'll get diarrhea if you eat too much. Ordinary people can eat them according to their physical condition."

"If you don't want to have diarrhea, I have a standard that you can measure."

"When you eat these cold dishes by the brazier in the room, you should stop when you feel your body getting cold. This is just the right time, and you can continue eating the next day. But if you overeat, you will have diarrhea."

Zhuge Fang introduced the remaining cold dishes and told them some taboos.

But compared with the previous highlights, these side effects can be said to be negligible.

"Miss Yu'er, your physique is stronger than that of ordinary people, so it's okay to eat a little more."

Zhuge Fang did not forget to remind Yu'er at the end.

Yu'er thanked Zhuge Fang immediately.

Li Xuan saw that the Arctic Supreme Shell had been cooked, with only a shell left on the ground.

He was a frugal man and naturally could not stand such a wasteful behavior. He immediately pressed his claws on it and absorbed the remaining piece of shell in the same way as when he broke the shell before.

But Li Xuan could clearly feel that the energy contained in the remaining shell was far less than the original one.

"It should be because the Arctic Supreme Shell has completely lost its activity?" Li Xuan guessed, but he also felt that he was not at a disadvantage.

After all, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat.

The table was also filled with cold dishes made from the remaining ingredients of Arctic Supreme Shell.

Zhuge Fang wanted to share some of his cooking tips with Li Xuan and Princess Ankang, but was stopped by Zhao Feng.

"Alright, alright, Zhuge Fang."

"Your Highness is tired today. After we finish our work, we have to go back and report."

Zhuge Fang was dragged away by Zhao Feng, and immediately asked in confusion:
"Ah? Do I have to report back too?"

"Isn't this all your business?"

"I think Her Royal Highness the Princess might be a genius at cooking. Can you let me chat with her for a while longer?"

Zhuge Fang was reluctant to leave, but was forcibly dragged away by Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng did not forget to take others to pay their respects to Princess Ankang. After they all left, Jingyang Palace suddenly became quiet again.

"Hehe, Manager Zhao knows that there are outsiders here and he can't let go."

Princess Ankang said with a smile, knowing that this was Zhao Feng's good intention.

"Hurry up, Sister Yu'er, sit down and eat too."

"Just watching me and Xuan eat, you must be hungry too, right?"

Princess Ankang helped Yu'er sit in her seat.

Coincidentally, Yu'er's stomach growled at the right time, making her blush with embarrassment.

"This this……"

Yu'er blushed, feeling that her stomach was too disappointing. As soon as Princess Ankang finished speaking, her mouth rang.

"Hehe, Sister Yu'er, don't be shy. We are the only ones left here anyway."

Princess Ankang said as she took a plate of cold dishes and said to Li Xuan:
"Ah Xuan, call your friends down to eat."

"I'll go to the backyard to see if Golden Pig and Whitebai want to eat this."

Princess Ankang carried the dishes and ran to the backyard.

Li Xuan also shouted, and the cat bosses who had been watching the show on the wall for a long time came down immediately and started to eat the cold dishes made by the Arctic Supreme Shell under Li Xuan's care.

Li Xuan needs to keep an eye on these guys, especially the cows and cheese. They eat them recklessly. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they will probably continue to eat. Li Xuan has to keep an eye on them.

Li Xuan thought that the Arctic Supreme Shell was a rare treasure after all. Although he didn't know what effect it would have on the cats, with Li Xuan watching over it, there would be no big problem.

Under Li Xuan's gaze, Mao Ba ate five slices of clam meat, licked his lips, and stopped eating.

It can be seen that although Mao Ba still wanted to continue eating, he forced himself to hold back.

Fat Orange ate one more slice than Cat King, but that was all.

Li Xuan saw that they both ate only a little and then stopped, and nodded silently.

At least these two are sensible.

Moreover, Li Xuan discovered that Maoba and Pangju seemed to be much more intelligent than before. He didn't know if it was because they often came into contact with him.

After all, it is almost unimaginable that an ordinary cat can discipline itself according to its own needs in front of delicious food.

On the contrary, the behavior of Cow and Cheese is more like that of ordinary cats.

When Li Xuan saw the two guys opening their mouths wide and about to stick their heads into the plate, he immediately held them down.

But even though Li Xuan held down their heads, the two starving ghosts still tried their best to lick the shellfish meat on the plate with their tongues.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sweat. If he wasn't there, he would have been eaten to death by the cow and cheese.

Li Xuan held down the heads of the two guys with his two front paws, then used his tail to roll up a small piece of shellfish from the plate and handed it to Cheese first.

Cheese immediately bit the shellfish and was about to swallow it in one gulp.

How could Li Xuan let it eat so fast? He wrapped his tail around the clam meat and let Cheese bite it off bit by bit. At the same time, he kept pressing on Cheese's paw to pay attention to his physical condition.

Li Xuan had only eaten half of the small piece of shellfish meat when he discovered that Cheese had accumulated cold energy in his body. He immediately took the shellfish meat away, not daring to let it continue eating.

Cheese lost the scallop meat and meowed in panic, it was so heartbreaking.

But Li Xuan shook his head and put the remaining half piece of shellfish meat into the cow's mouth.

"No, this little guy is still too young, his body hasn't grown yet, and he hasn't practiced martial arts."

Cheese growled a few times and his stomach immediately started to growl.

Perhaps he was feeling uncomfortable, as Cheese's cries became weaker and weaker, and soon stopped. He looked sick and listless.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly, turned Cheese over, and rubbed its belly. This made the rumbling sound in its stomach quieter and it regained some energy.

Although Li Xuan could help Cheese feel more comfortable, he had no way to help it absorb the effects of the Arctic Supreme Shell.

Then it was the turn to feed the cow. After this guy ate half a slice of cheese, he only ate two more slices of shellfish.

Li Xuan was so angry that he gave the cow an electric shock. As a result, the cow was hit, but still cried loudly because it couldn't eat the shellfish meat.

Li Xuan was annoyed by the noise and gave the cow two more electric cannons.

"Meow, meow, meow? (Meow, after practicing martial arts for so long, you're still no better than a kid, right?)"

"Meow, Woo! (If you make another meow, I'll beat you up!")

The cow's eyes were hit so hard that it could hardly open, but it could still see clearly that Li Xuan was holding up a cat's paw, looking very angry.

The cow immediately didn't dare to "wow wow" anymore. It pursed its lips in grievance and lay on the ground, pretending to be pitiful.

Li Xuan's anger was not without reason. The cow only ate two more slices than the cheese, but the cold air accumulated in its body was more than that of the cheese.

But what was a little strange was that I didn't hear the cow's stomach rumbling.

Although Li Xuan was angry, he was still very measured in his attack. He only hurt the cow but did not injure it at all.

"Alas, I am neither good at literature nor martial arts. What shall I do in the future?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but worry about the cows.

Mao Ba and Pang Ju both grew up smoothly, but Cow was useless and just played all day long.

Although this is the nature of cats, Li Xuan feels that they should be a little different when they meet him and become unique cats.

But seeing the pitiful appearance of the cow, Li Xuan still felt soft-hearted and turned it over, intending to cover its belly together.

But when Li Xuan put his claws on the cow's belly, his expression was stunned.

"Hey, why is the cold less?"
