Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 232: Leia Goes Easy

As it turned out, there was a small kitchen right behind her office.

Ever since she had tasted Bai Su’s cooking, Li Yue had been obsessed with it.

So she’d sent a message back, ordering her subordinates to research it and learn how to cook.

Who could have known? During the days when the second-in-command of the Outer War Department was away...

Her subordinates were holed up day after day in this dreaded, ultimate interrogation room, watching Bai Su’s livestreams and replaying her videos over and over.

All to satisfy their second-in-command’s demand to have delicious food ready for her the moment she returned.

They burned more fish inside that room every day than the number of prisoners tortured to death outside!

Seeing a rare chance to interact with a living, breathing person, the two subordinates next to Li Yue exchanged a look. They furtively backed away and slipped into the small kitchen behind them to call the others.

It was called a small kitchen, but the space was actually quite large. A dozen or so stoves were in full swing as people fervently practiced cooking. In front of each of them, a smart-brain projected a floating screen playing Bai Su’s recorded cooking videos.

The two men shouted from the doorway, "Hurry up and come out for class! Bai Su herself is out here, and the boss is making her cook for us on the spot!"

"HOLY SHIT! For real?"

"The boss is that awesome? She even managed to get Bai Su to come here?"

"Is she willing to cook? Is she going to teach us, or what?"

The two men said excitedly, "Who cares about the details? Hurry up and come see! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Hearing this, the crowd immediately turned off their stoves, dropped their spatulas, and rushed out, not even having time to take off their aprons.

The area was quickly set up.

Bai Su tied on an apron. After a glance at the ingredients, she already had a plan in mind.

She skillfully prepared the sea bass, marinated it in a basin, steamed it, and then took it out of the steamer.

The fresh, sweet aroma of steamed fish instantly filled the entire interrogation room.

Someone from the side asked in a low voice, "Miss Bai, why is it that when we both steam fish, yours comes out so clean and white, while mine falls apart into a mushy mess?"

Bai Su looked up at the question. The room was pitch-black, and she couldn’t see anyone.

She could only vaguely tell that the voice seemed to be coming from the direction of the wall of torture instruments.

Bai Su briefly explained the three key elements of steaming fish.

Realization dawned on the crowd. "Ooooh, so that’s how it works!"

"Crap, she said it too fast! I didn’t catch it all!"

"Bro, you remember the first two points, I’ll get the next two, and we can copy off each other later."

Someone else asked cautiously, "T-Teacher Bai, what is seasoned soy sauce? We don’t think we’ve ever seen that stuff in stores."

This put Bai Su in a difficult position.

The Beastmen of this world had no culinary skills, so many seasonings didn’t exist.

The seasonings she used were all purchased from her System Mall; they couldn’t be found in this world.

She thought for a moment and said, "Seasoned soy sauce is quite complex to make, requiring many ingredients to be simmered together. If you want to cook, you can buy seasonings from my restaurant."

"My restaurant sells all the seasonings used in cooking, and they aren’t expensive."

This also saved her the trouble of explaining the origin of seasoned soy sauce.

The crowd nodded eagerly again, frantically scribbling in their small notebooks.

Sai’er, who was kneeling to the side, had a blank expression on his face.

’Why?’

’How is this different from what I imagined?’

Bai Su sensed a hostile gaze and only then remembered Sai’er was still there.

Her hands paused.

Li Yue, ever perceptive, noticed and followed her gaze. Only then did she realize that the person who had been kneeling on the ground this whole time was Sai’er.

’No wonder his pathetic appearance looked so familiar...’

Li Yue looked at Bai Su. "Did he bully you on the way here?"

Bai Su froze. ’Why does it sound like she’s about to back me up?’

She hesitated for a moment. "Not really, he just said a couple of—"

SHLICK! Before Bai Su could finish her sentence, Li Yue’s scorpion tail had already pierced Sai’er’s chest, precisely hooked his heart, and ripped it out.

Sai’er stared at his chest in disbelief.

’How is this possible?’

’How could I die in a place like this?’

’Die in front of Bai Su?’

’So suddenly and so casually... dying without any dignity or worth...’

Someone quickly came forward and dragged the corpse away.

Li Yue propped up her chin and looked at Bai Su with a smile. "I didn’t scare you, did I?"

Bai Su lowered her gaze and calmly shook her head. "No."

But the hand holding the kitchen knife was trembling slightly.

Li Yue was relieved. "Good, as long as you’re not scared. After all, I was just avenging you."

"If that old fox Xiao Yi finds out you’ve been messing around in his territory, he definitely won’t let a little fool like you off easy."

"Damn it, you really are my own sister. You’ve got some serious guts!"

Leia cursed the whole way as she dragged Bai Su through a series of twists and turns.

Before Bai Su could explain, Leia had already pushed her out of the secret passage, moving so fast that Bai Su didn’t even have a chance to get a word in.

Leia was talking a mile a minute.

Bai Su parted her lips, attempting to speak for a second time, but was cut off by Leia again. "Forget it this time. Consider this me repaying the favor from last time. We’re even now, so get lost!"

Bai Su grabbed her. "Your injuries haven’t healed?"

’This couldn’t have been easier.’ Fate had made her run into Leia, which was the perfect way to keep her occupied.

It would stop her from going back to capture people.

Leia tried to shake off her hand.

Bai Su added, "With so many wounds on your body, it’s a miracle you survived. But recovering completely won’t be that easy."

Leia grew impatient. "What the hell are you trying to say?"

Bai Su: "I’m just curious. Doesn’t the Medical Alliance claim its medical technology is on par with the Lanton Family? How come they haven’t healed you yet?"

She threw off Bai Su’s hand. "Piss off. You really think I can’t see through your little tricks? Stop trying to lure the tiger from the mountain and waste my time."

After speaking, Leia stared at Bai Su, her eyes turning grim. "If I didn’t owe you a favor, your head would already be pierced by my steel pipe, and your body would be nailed to the gates of the Medical Alliance. Understand?"

Seeing her turn to leave, Bai Su played her final trump card. "Sis!"

Leia’s body stiffened slightly. "Who the hell are you calling ’Sis’? Who’s your sister?"

She was always quick to turn hostile.

Bai Su grabbed her hand, channeling a continuous stream of her Healing Power into Leia’s body. "Sis, I just want to heal your injuries. It won’t take long..."

Leia glanced at the fighter jets frantically bombing in the distance, a murderous glint in her eyes.

But as she felt the warm, endless Healing Power enveloping her body, her pupils suddenly constricted.

Her tense body began to relax, little by little.

’What the hell? How can there be such a warm power...’

’It makes you calm down uncontrollably, makes you want to lie down slowly and stretch.’

’It’s like being wrapped in a sense of security, as if you’ve returned to your mother’s womb, enveloped by warm amniotic fluid...’

Bai Su healed all the wounds on her body. "There, Sis. You can go now. I won’t keep you any longer."

She discreetly pulled her hand back. A flicker of a blood-stained spider silk thread vanished from her fingertips.
