The fugu sashimi didn't have the fishy taste one might expect, nor the so-called "numbing" sensation on the tongue.
It had an extremely firm texture, its elasticity far surpassing that of ordinary sashimi.
As he chewed, an indescribable sweetness exploded on the tip of his tongue. It was the purest umami of the fish itself, unhindered by any seasoning.
The more he chewed, the more fragrant and flavorful it became.
The moment he swallowed, the umami seemed to slide down his esophagus and into his stomach, leaving him feeling utterly relaxed.
"How is it?"
Elder Li looked at Li Xu expectantly.
"Elder Li, I'm convinced."
Li Xu gave a thumbs-up. "A taste like this is a rare find in this world. Compared to the exquisite flavor of this fugu, the risk of a little poison is definitely worth it."
"Hahahaha."
Elder Li laughed heartily. "That's the spirit! Life is all about eating and drinking. If you don't dare to take a little risk, what flavor is there to life?"
