83: Chapter 83 Gu Yue's Tricks

"Gulp~!"

Smelling the aroma in the air, the Little Girl couldn't help but let out a few gulps. Finally, her body couldn't resist the devilish whispers of temptation. She reached out her small hand and quickly grabbed a piece of meat.

Ignoring the fact that it was piping hot fresh out of the pot, the Little Girl directly swallowed it whole.

After doing all this, the Little Girl Fang Ling continued to help happily. The scalding hot food was extremely delicious, and the slight warmth couldn't diminish her desire to enjoy the delicacy.

"Hehe, you little glutton, be careful not to burn yourself."

Cai Lin, standing nearby, playfully ruffled her Little Sister-in-law's hair. After touching her Little Sister-in-law, she continued to help Gu Yue on the side.

Cai Lin was now very satisfied with her initial decision. After getting together with Fang Heng, she not only became an Inner City resident but also no longer needed to do bitter and tiring work.

Every day, she could eat incredibly delicious dishes. It hadn't been many days, and she had already gained over ten jin, with her weight soaring towards one hundred and twenty jin.

She couldn't help but eat a little more, but she didn't overeat. Even if she didn't eat much of the monster ingredients, they were more nutritious than a large amount of ordinary ingredients.

Monster ingredients could quickly raise her Rank. A little fat was fine. She could pay attention to her weight later, Cai Lin thought as she touched her slightly fleshy face... Half an hour later, three figures successively brought several colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes to the table.

"Hey, Fang Yuan kid, this is food Sister Gu Yue specially prepared for you, to thank you for always helping me train my combat skills. You must finish it, okay?"

Finally, Gu Yue personally brought the last dish to Fang Yuan, specifically instructing him to eat it all by himself.

The main ingredient of this dish was the green scaled monster meat, which contained a large amount of energy.

"Oh~, Sister Yueyue is really biased! She actually made a separate portion for Third Brother. Can't I eat it too?"

The Little Girl sitting next to her Third Brother let out a drawn-out sound. As she spoke, her big eyes couldn't help but glance at the plate of food she had coveted for a long time.

Regarding this portion, she had been wondering when she could eat it from the beginning. She didn't expect it to be specially made for her Third Brother, which made Fang Ling feel a pang of loss.

"Heh, Ling'er, you can eat it if you want, but that portion is Silver Rank 10 monster ingredients, containing a large amount of energy. If you just take one bite, you'll probably have to go downstairs to exercise, you know.

You should still eat these two dishes. These are low-Rank monster ingredients that I specially prepared for you. They contain less energy and are very delicious."

Looking at the Little Girl's greedy expression, Gu Yue smiled and explained to her.

Monster ingredients are not necessarily more delicious the higher their Rank, at least in the Bronze Rank and Silver Rank stages.

"Oh, then I'll just eat these two."

Fang Ling recalled how she could only eat a few bites before she couldn't eat anymore, and completely lost interest in her Third Brother's portion.

Curiosity was one thing, but she didn't want to be like last time, only able to eat a little and then just stare longingly.

After a simple interlude, everyone began to pick up their chopsticks, putting delicious dishes into their mouths.

"Woo~, Sister Yueyue, your cooking is so delicious, much better than what Mom makes!"

After just one bite, Fang Ling was immersed in a sea of delicious food. After enjoying it, she sincerely praised Gu Yue.

After being conquered by the food, the Little Girl's impression score of this tall, beautiful older sister instantly maxed out. The oppressive aura that had initially made her afraid completely dissipated.

Now, in her heart, Gu Yue was a great person, a beautiful older sister who could bring her delicious food.

"You little imp..."

Lin Xia, who was being compared, gave her youngest child a speechless glare. However, she wholeheartedly agreed with that point.

Her own cooking was really very ordinary, not as delicious as Gu Yue's.

Fang Long, Fang Heng, and Cai Lin all praised Gu Yue's cooking as delicious. Only one person at the table didn't speak, but in this joyful scene, no one noticed that Fang Yuan was silent.

"...!"

Watching his family praise her non-stop, Fang Yuan was now suffering in silence. This plate of food, specially made for him, had a taste that was too intense.

Bitter, sweet, sour, spicy—all sorts of flavors were present, and they were very subtly done. It smelled fragrant.

"This girl is getting her revenge on me."

Fang Yuan swallowed a few bites of food expressionlessly. When he looked up and met Gu Yue's eyes, he knew from her sweet smile that he had been teased.

To prevent his family from noticing anything unusual, he could only bite the bullet and eat large mouthfuls of the food.

Although Gu Yue was playing a trick on him, this dish was truly cooked with Silver Rank 10 monster ingredients, containing a large amount of energy.

"Hehe, you finished it so quickly! It seems you really like the food I specially made for you."

Gu Yue watched Fang Yuan eat all the green scaled monster meat without changing his expression, and her heart was already blooming with joy. green scaled monster meat was notoriously unpalatable.

If it weren't for the fact that it was non-toxic, contained a large amount of energy, and was of great help to professionals, then even if the meat was well-prepared, no one would eat it.

Of course, for her, an Imperial Chef, she could also make it very delicious.

After getting revenge for her backside being spanked, the joyful Gu Yue showed an incomparably brilliant smile, and her whole person seemed to become even more dazzling.

"Third Brother, why don't you thank Gu Yue? She specially prepared a portion for you..."

Lin Xia, completely unaware, looked at her taciturn son. As a mother, she felt it necessary to help him out.

So, she made Fang Yuan speak his thanks.

Fang Yuan, who had just eaten such an unpalatable portion, wouldn't bother with that. After giving Gu Yue a glare, he leisurely enjoyed the other delicacies.

This cooking skill was truly outstanding, exceptionally delicious. She was indeed an Imperial Chef.

If she weren't so vengeful, she would be the perfect girlfriend candidate in his heart.

"...?"

Seeing that Fang Yuan could still eat other dishes, Gu Yue was full of questions. This shouldn't be. Given the portion size of that dish, he should theoretically not be able to eat anything else.

What she didn't know was that as soon as the food entered Fang Yuan's stomach, it was immediately absorbed by him. Even if there was twice as much, he could still eat it.

"Not bad, it's really delicious, just like the dishes at Imperial Garden Pavilion. This time, it can at least provide me with thirty-five percent of the energy. It seems I'll be able to Breakthrough again the day after tomorrow..."

Fang Yuan quickly noticed the doubt on Gu Yue's face and immediately knew what she was thinking. In a good mood, he immediately gave her a compliment, following his mother's words.

At his words, Gu Yue, who was eating, suddenly felt that the delicious food in her mouth had become unappetizing.

A silent confrontation collided here. Lin Xia, completely unaware, looked at her son with immense relief.

"Burp, this time I'll Breakthrough first. Cousin, you're already Bronze Rank Four."

Lin Zhizhi, unable to eat anymore, leaned back against the chair contentedly. After this meal, she was finally going to complete her energy accumulation.

As long as she absorbed the energy within, she expected to Breakthrough tonight.

"We're almost there too. The price of these monster ingredients really lives up to their expensive cost."

Fang Long and the other four all showed signs of a Breakthrough. Being of lower Rank, after eating this meal of high-Rank monster dishes, they could basically gain over fifty percent of the energy.

"Alas~, Dad and Mom, you're all going to Breakthrough, and I'm the only one who hasn't Awakened my Talent..."

The Little Girl, lying down, felt a blockage in her heart. She wanted to grow up quickly to sixteen, to Awaken her True Spirit Talent...
