229: Collective diarrhea

“This fish soup smells so fresh and fragrant!”

Yang Fan held the wooden bowl, took a deep breath, and his mouth immediately watered.

If it wasn't for the steaming white heat, Yang Fan would have wanted to gulp it all down in one go.

“It’s a shame it’s too hot; I’m so impatient waiting.” Yang Fan swallowed his saliva, acting like he’d never seen anything like it.

“What’s the rush? Haste makes waste. Blow on it a bit, and try a small sip first.”

“In these deep mountains and old forests, to be able to drink such delicious fish soup, we should savor it properly. That’s how you get the aftertaste.”

Zhao Hao’s words sounded good, but the frequent, unconscious swallowing of his throat betrayed him.

“Come on, come on, blow on it.”

Zhang Chao also couldn't resist. He blew on the edge of his bowl several times, and when he felt it was ready, he carefully took a small sip.

At the same time, Yang Fan also put his mouth to the edge of his bowl, making a 'slurp' sound.

“Holy cow!”

“Delicious!”

The two of them exclaimed almost simultaneously, looking up with surprise in their eyes.

“This fish soup is the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten; it’s so fragrant!”

“Exactly, there’s an indescribable feeling, and a very pleasant medicinal scent.”

“Quick, quick, everyone try it.”

With such strong affirmation from the two, the others also couldn't hold back. They all began slurping the fish soup, then let out exclamations of delight.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

“Damn it, being uncultured is really scary. For such delicious fish soup, even after racking my brains, I can only exclaim 'Holy cow, it's so delicious!'”

“Hahahaha…”

Everyone burst into laughter, and even Su Can was amused and laughed heartily.

Soon, the fish soup cooled down enough, and everyone finally started to slurp it down enthusiastically.

“Damn it, now this is what you call fish soup! So satisfying!”

“Delicious, so satisfying!”

“A divine soup on earth!”

After finishing the fish soup in their wooden bowls in one go, everyone let out satisfied sounds with full vigor.

“Come, eat the fish meat, don’t just drink the soup!”

Su Can served everyone another bowl of fish meat: “Be careful of the bones.”

At the same time, he also served himself a bowl and happily feasted.

It had to be said, after the fish changed, the soup it made was indeed incredibly delicious.

Of course, this also had to do with the Pill Furnace’s efficacy, the spiritual water’s effect, and the two pills.

The entire dozen pounds of fish, made into soup, allowed everyone to eat and drink their fill, and they couldn’t have been more satisfied.

There were also many fresh mushrooms and other ingredients.

In a short while, everyone had finished the large Pill Furnace of fish soup.

Su Can quickly scanned everyone and noticed that after drinking this fish soup, each of them had a radiant complexion and their spirits had completely transformed.

“What’s going on? This fish soup actually made me sweat?”

“Me too, I feel like my head is about to smoke.”

“My whole body feels incredibly clear.”

Everyone looked at each other. Suddenly, Yang Fan’s expression changed first, and his stomach rumbled.

“Oh no! My stomach hurts. Oh my god, could it be that there were residual toxins in the Pill Furnace, and we got poisoned by drinking the fish soup?”

Yang Fan was sweating cold from stomach pain: “This is bad, this is bad. I ate the fastest and the most fish soup. Did I overdose? So I’m poisoned?”

“How come you all seem fine?”

Yang Fan clutched his stomach, barely able to endure it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Dandan’s expression also changed drastically, and her stomach began to rumble loudly.

As soon as her stomach rumbled, it was as if a chain reaction had started. Everyone else’s expressions suddenly changed, and they clutched their stomachs in pain.

Everyone’s stomachs rumbled non-stop.

“Oh no, are we all poisoned?”

Even Su Ran was no exception, clutching her stomach with a look of agony on her face.

However, she didn't believe she was poisoned, because she trusted Su Can implicitly.

“Alright, look at yourselves. After drinking the fish soup, you’re all radiant. Where are the signs of poisoning?”

“It’s possible that the medicinal qi contained in the Pill Furnace is beneficial to you, attacking the ailments in your bodies. Now it’s starting to detoxify, which is why your stomachs hurt and you need to have a bowel movement!”

Su Can understood completely. He waved his hand and smiled: “Go find a place to detoxify yourselves quickly. After you’ve finished, you’ll come back to thank me.”

“Really? Is that true?” Yang Fan and the others were somewhat skeptical.

Zhao Hao, however, believed him without a doubt and immediately turned and left to find a place to relieve himself.

He could feel that besides his stomach pain, he didn’t have any other discomfort; instead, he felt a faint, dormant power within his body.

“Old Zhao, wait for me, let’s go together.” Seeing Zhao Hao leave so decisively, Yang Fan also couldn’t hold it in anymore. He clutched his stomach and ran over.

“Why are you following me? Are we going to squat and poop together?”

Zhao Hao’s face darkened. Not only did he not stop, but he walked even faster.

“Damn it, you’re right. Then I’ll go over there.”

Yang Fan paused, then immediately turned and ran in another direction.

“No, my stomach hurts terribly too, I need to go take care of it.”

He Yuan finished speaking and ran off, clutching his stomach.

After a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and ran back, his face embarrassed: “Does anyone have any paper? I… I didn’t bring any paper.”

“I do, I’ll get you some.”

Su Ran wanted to laugh, but her stomach hurt too much to do so. She could only hold it in and took out a small pack of tissues, throwing them to him.

“My gratitude cannot be expressed in words, I’m leaving first!”

He Yuan thanked him with a flushed face, but as soon as he let his guard down, he suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore. With a wail, he clutched his stomach with one hand and his backside with the other, then took off running.

Zhu Lei and Wei Dandan exchanged glances, “Let’s go, the two of us will go together.”

Zhang Chao didn't even think, and blurted out: “I’ll go too!”

“Get lost!”

Wei Dandan turned her head and cursed: “We’re all women, why are you, a man, following us? Are you sick!”

“Uh, uh, uh…”

Zhang Chao also realized his mistake, thoroughly embarrassed. He looked up, found a direction where no one else had gone, and quickly ran off.

“Su Can… little brother, I also want to…”

Su Ran saw that everyone had left and couldn’t hold on any longer. She looked at Su Can with a flushed face.

“I’ll take you.”

Su Can stood up, glanced at the Wolf King and Eagle Sauce still quietly transforming on the ground, raised his hand, and put away the foil-wrapped grilled fish.

The fish itself was too appealing; he was afraid that if he left, the other wolves wouldn't be able to resist running over to eat it.

As for the fish in the pond, influenced by the Heavenly Qi’s transformation, one less would be consumed, and Su Can couldn’t just casually take them out and give them to these wolves anymore.

Let alone wolves, even after returning, he might not necessarily offer them to some friends and relatives.

It seemed that his future plans needed to be re-evaluated.

These thoughts flashed through Su Can’s mind. He pulled Su Ran and quickly left, finding a place with poor visibility.

“You can take care of it here. I’ll set up an isolation barrier for you.”

“Okay.”

Su Ran nodded with a flushed face.

Su Can immediately formed a hand seal, set up a barrier, and stood guard outside.
