After some bargaining, Tie Dan and the Catfish reached an agreement.
They decided to wait for three days until the 'time was right' to pick the spirit fruit, and then let it have a lick to taste.
They were originally here for the market anyway, so delaying by three days wasn't a big deal. Besides, with the remaining meat of the Horse Demon and Dog Demon, they could have some barbecues to replenish Qi Blood.
Well, actually, Tie Dan thought eating it raw was fine, but the fish didn't want that; it wanted it cooked, with cumin. Picky creature...
But perhaps that's how it is in the Immortal World. A fish wanting to eat barbecue isn't a big deal; Tie Dan could accept it.
So, a person and a fish, though known to each other for a long time, met for the first time under the Spiritual Fruit Tree, eating cumin barbecue, communicating through glances and writing, having a third-kind encounter.
