39: Wild beauties captivated by delicious food

The Dark-skinned Beauty skillfully picked up the menu, her gaze lingering for a moment over the dazzling array of dishes before finally settling on a picture of fried rice.

"I'll have a bowl of minced meat and egg fried rice."

"Alright, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Han Fei immediately turned and walked into the kitchen.

Although it was his first time in this kitchen today, having replicated Liu Yueer's unique cooking skills, he now felt an inexpressible closeness and familiarity with this space.

It was as if every brick, every tile, every utensil here was connected to his Bloodline.

Even with his eyes closed, he could accurately perceive the location of every ingredient and every piece of kitchenware.

He walked to the iron wok with practiced ease, his body moving on its own with great familiarity.

Lighting the fire, heating the wok, adding oil, preparing the minced meat, selecting fresh eggs... Although this was Han Fei's first attempt at making minced meat and egg fried rice, his current performance was astonishingly skillful.

Every step, every movement, was just right and incredibly precise, as if these techniques had long been deeply etched into his very bones.

The sound of cooking finally brought Liu Yueer to her senses a little.

She rubbed her eyes, her gaze focusing on the figure skillfully stir-frying the rice, and for a moment, she couldn't help but wonder if she was seeing things.

"He, he's making minced meat and egg fried rice?"

Liu Yueer covered her mouth in surprise, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.

One had to know that the minced meat and egg fried rice sold in her shop was no ordinary dish; it was a unique delicacy she had painstakingly perfected with a secret recipe.

This fried rice contained many of her exclusive cooking methods, and an ordinary chef, without her personal guidance, would be utterly unable to replicate its essence.

Yet, Han Fei, right before her eyes, was using her unique methods to skillfully stir-fry that wok of minced meat and egg fried rice.

Although Han Fei's technique was not yet as refined as Liu Yueer's, he had undoubtedly grasped the essence of this fried rice, completing every step very well, so much so that even Liu Yueer couldn't point out many flaws.

"Why does he know how to do it...?"

Watching Han Fei's focused movements as he stir-fried the rice, an inexpressible feeling welled up in Liu Yueer's heart.

At this moment, Han Fei was like a mirror, reflecting her past self.

The self who, a few years ago, was striving for the One-Star Gourmet Hunter certificate.

This unexpected resonance stirred a complex emotion within her, a mix of surprise and curiosity.

After sprinkling the last bit of vibrant green chopped scallions, Han Fei slightly tilted his head and offered Liu Yueer a smile.

"A customer came to your shop; I saw you weren't feeling well, so I let her order a dish, and I made it for her."

As Han Fei's words fell, the plate of minced meat and egg fried rice, perfect in color, aroma, and taste, was steadily served onto a pristine white ceramic plate.

The golden rice gleamed invitingly with oil, the rich aroma of the minced meat intertwined with the fresh fragrance of the eggs, and the vibrant green scallions dotted throughout, like a vivid culinary painting.

With just one glance, Liu Yueer determined that this fried rice was exceptionally well-made.

Whether it was the color coordination, the layers of texture, or the balance of flavors, it almost reached the standard of her own cooking.

"You, why did you..."

Han Fei placed a finger on her lips and said with a mysterious smile, "It's a secret."

He then quickly left the kitchen and placed the fried rice in front of the Dark-skinned Beauty.

"Oh, that's really good."

The Dark-skinned Beauty's words flowed with praise and wonder, her unique voice seemingly carrying a magnetic quality, complementing her exotic appearance.

She didn't rush to pick up her chopsticks but gazed intently at the fried rice before her, like a gourmet connoisseur examining a precious work of art.

"Please enjoy."

Han Fei smiled and stepped aside, feeling a slight anticipation of what abilities he might replicate from her.

Her tattoos clearly weren't simple.

When Han Fei had approached her earlier, he even had a fleeting illusion.

The person before him wasn't a human, but a beast in human skin!

Just being near her, Han Fei's body instinctively trembled with fear.

"I won't be polite then."

The Dark-skinned Beauty revealed her fangs, chuckled, and then took a large bite of the fried rice.

In that instant, an astonishing change occurred.

Her pupils, like ignited flames, instantly transformed into deep, fiery tiger eyes.

At the same time, her originally pristine and neat teeth instantly grew into sharp fangs, chilling and terrifying, like the ferocious posture of a beast before hunting.

Immediately after, the Dark-skinned Beauty let out a deafening roar that shook the heavens.

The sound, like a thunderclap, rolled in, instantly sweeping through the entire small shop.

Windows and doors rattled violently, cups, bowls, and plates clattered, and even the solid ground seemed to tremble.

Han Fei was so startled by her roar that he plopped down onto the ground, his face instantly turning pale.

"It's too delicious!!!"

The Dark-skinned Beauty roared in a hoarse, beast-like voice, and even the windows developed hairline cracks under the sound wave.

She quickly realized her lapse in composure, her amber pupils rapidly returning to their previous state, and her ferocious fangs quickly retracted.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

The Dark-skinned Beauty scratched the back of her head, revealing her fangs and smiling apologetically at Han Fei.

"Uh, it's fine..."

Han Fei, still shaken, stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his bottom.

He had truly been startled just now, feeling as if he had been targeted by a fierce tiger.

If he hadn't known that Black Pupil was protecting him nearby, Han Fei would have wanted to flee out the door.

The Dark-skinned Beauty took a few deep breaths, and the bestial aura emanating from her quickly dissipated.

"I really didn't expect the fried rice you made to be so delicious; it's definitely the best fried rice I've ever eaten!"

The Dark-skinned Beauty praised him without reservation.

"Hehe, I'm glad you liked it."

As Han Fei chuckled, he also activated Deliciousness Exchange, replicating abilities from her.

"They're all combat-related abilities; she's a real battle maniac."

As Han Fei carefully sensed the abilities, he was endlessly surprised.

Because after replicating Liu Yueer's abilities, his cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, thus Deliciousness Exchange could also replicate more abilities.

Just that small bite the Dark-skinned Beauty took allowed Han Fei to replicate nearly half of her fighting techniques.

In addition, there were jungle survival skills, knowledge of identifying poisonous plants, as well as poison resistance, fear resistance, and so on.

"It's truly delicious! So delicious!"

The Dark-skinned Beauty wolfed down all the fried rice, allowing Han Fei to replicate a large number of her abilities.

"Why couldn't I replicate her tattoos? Are they not her abilities, but rather something similar to a Magical Artifact?"

Deliciousness Exchange could only replicate a person's abilities, not the treasures they carried.

"Little brother, another bowl, I want a big bowl, no, a really big bowl!"

The Dark-skinned Beauty looked at Han Fei with eager anticipation, her expression seeming to convey that if Han Fei didn't cook for her today, she wouldn't let him leave.
