Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Hehe~

Upon receiving their praise, Aria immediately wore a proud smile.

Just then, a pitiful bear roar suddenly rang in Luo Ya's mind.

It was Misha who reminded me!

It hasn't had dinner yet, and it wants to eat these fragrant grilled fish on the stone slab.

Luo Ya sighed and turned to Aria, saying, "Aria, I'll take all the grilled fish from your stall."

"Huh!? All of it? Can the two of you finish it?" Aria asked with concern, since she had heard them say that they had already eaten dinner.

"We also have a big eater as a partner. I'll introduce you to him sometime." Roya shrugged slightly.

Arya was undecided and looked at Sophia.

Sophia naturally knew who Roya was talking about. Ah-Dai didn't need to eat, so he only had naughty kids. She immediately nodded: "Yes, her name is Misha."

"Why didn't your companions come? Did they stay on the ship?" Aria asked casually out of curiosity, then readily nodded, "Okay! I'll check the inventory."

She glanced down at the large bucket not far away and said truthfully, "I have seven ribbonfish, three bass, and five crabs left. Do you really want them all?"

"I'll take them all." Roya nodded without hesitation.

He wasn't worried at all that Misha wouldn't be able to finish it; on the contrary, he felt that the portion was a bit small, and it would have to be paired with a ten-pound loaf of bread.

After finalizing the order, Ailiya moved swiftly and skillfully, handling the seafood with practiced ease and expertise.

She placed the still slightly twitching fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs one by one onto a black stone slab more than two meters long and one meter wide and started grilling them.

The moment the spiced liquor was poured over it, a loud "boom!" was heard as pale blue flames suddenly shot up.

Passersby were startled by the sudden burst of flames and stopped to watch with curiosity.

What's most alarming is that Arya actually reached her bare hands into the raging flames.

Sophia's heart tightened, her eyes filled with worry, fearing that she might be burned by the flames.

The expected burns did not occur at all.

Arya's little hand was unharmed, while the restless flames on the stone slab gradually calmed down, evenly adhering to the surface of each seafood dish, like a lively fire spirit, swirling and dancing, gently roasting.

Luo Ya guessed that the girl's extraordinary abilities were related to fire.

Arya withdrew her hand, took out a delicate little glass spice bottle, and carefully sprinkled on the secret spice powder.

The next instant, an extremely rich and savory aroma exploded, sweeping through the entire street on the evening breeze.

Many passersby, drawn by the flames and aroma, stopped to ask, "Boss, how much is the grilled fish? I'll have one!"

"All the ingredients for today are sold out! I set up my stall at four o'clock every afternoon, so please come again tomorrow," Aria said apologetically.

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently clenched her fists, extinguishing all the flames that were dancing wildly on the seafood cleanly and efficiently.

The onlookers immediately realized that the young girl selling food was actually a superhuman. No one dared to linger any longer and could only give up regretfully, planning to come back to try it the next day.

"Alright, grilling on one side and steaming on the other, this is a grilled fish with a mixed flavor that allows you to enjoy both tastes at the same time."

As she spoke, Aria deftly took out four thick paper bags, carefully packed all the grilled seafood into them, and handed them to Roya and Sophia.

"How much is it in total?" Luo Ya raised his hand and pulled out a bulging money bag.

Aria hesitated for a moment, then quietly quoted a price: "It was originally going to be three silver coins, but you bought all my goods, saving me a lot of trouble. Two silver coins and fifty copper coins will do."

Luo Ya took three silver coins directly from his purse and gently placed them in her palm.

He could tell that the girl was short of money, and there was no need to worry about the mere fifty copper coins.

However, his bulging money bag, filled with dozens of gold coins, was too eye-catching and was instantly spotted by pickpockets lurking on the street.

Roya and Sophia bid farewell to Aria and headed towards the inn carrying the grilled seafood.

Not far behind, several furtive figures quietly followed.

Arya caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye, and her brows furrowed instantly.

The two hadn't gone far when a girl's clear voice suddenly called out from behind, "Wait a minute!"

Luo Ya and Sophia stopped and turned around simultaneously, their faces full of confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I'm heading back to my hotel too, let's walk together since we're going the same way!"

Aria quickly took off her apron, which was covered in the smell of smoke, put it away, and jogged to catch up with the two.

Street stalls are shared by multiple people who take turns operating them during designated time slots.

Apart from her special stone slab and secret seasonings, all the other miscellaneous items at her stall were left for the next vendor to set up shop.

The pickpockets following behind saw Aria approach them and immediately let out a low curse of annoyance, their eyes filled with fear.

Their leader had given strict orders that they must never provoke this red-haired witch.

The crowd was unwilling but dared not question her. The witch had an extremely fiery temper and was said to have killed someone before. The navy couldn't do anything about her, so they could only turn around and leave in a huff.

Aria glanced back discreetly and, seeing that all the pickpockets had left, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was terrified that because of her, Luo Ya and his companion's money would be stolen, and she would feel incredibly guilty if that happened.

"Miss Aria, you are such a kind person," Sophia exclaimed sincerely.

Luo Ya, standing to the side, was somewhat disappointed. He had originally hoped to take this opportunity to get to know the local bigwigs of the food street and have a friendly exchange, but now his fishing plan was completely ruined, and he could only find another opportunity another day.

"Huh? Am I a good person?" Aria looked blank, then remembered that during the time she had been running her stall, almost all of her income had been used to compensate for various unexpected losses, and she immediately nodded, realizing that she was indeed a good person.

The three chatted and laughed as they walked away from the brightly lit main food street.

Just one street apart, the atmosphere is completely different.

The alleyways were dimly lit and poorly illuminated. Drunkards, passed out on the ground, could be seen everywhere on the roadside, as well as groups of thugs chatting idly.

The group of thugs were initially eyeing Roya and Sophia with ill intent, but when they saw Aria, who was with them, their expressions changed drastically as if they had seen a ghost.

Some people hurriedly turned their heads to look left and right, while others looked down at the ground and pretended nothing was wrong. Everyone was silent and dared not be presumptuous.

It is obvious that Arya has a strong deterrent effect among the thugs in this neighborhood.

"These guys need to be taught a lesson. A good beating will shut them up, and if one beating isn't enough, we'll beat them up a few more times," Aria explained casually, her tone indifferent.

Luo Ya and Sophia exchanged a glance, silently feeling ashamed.

Unlike Baisha Island, which has only about 100 households, Baisha Island has only about 180 households.

The island has a population of at least 20,000 to 30,000 households, divided into several residential areas.

The port town currently hosting the food festival is called Fresh Sugar Town. It is the largest residential area, with seven or eight thousand local residents. In addition, the daily flow of people exceeds ten thousand when tourists from all over the world flock in for the festival.

Even with the navy taking over, they still couldn't manage it all, resulting in a chaotic situation on the island.
