Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 146: An Argument in the Research Lab

He turned back to continue helping with the experiment, not forgetting to remind Li Yue beside him, "Don’t open that again. The smell is filling the entire research lab."

Li Yue gave a cool acknowledgment and didn’t touch the food container again. She picked up the fish sample from the table that Sai’er had taken the previous night and began to analyze it.

The test results came back: the food contained no Healing Power whatsoever, showing the same results as any ordinary food.

In fact, residue from these foods would sometimes spoil, which could negatively affect a female’s health. The extracted nutrients weren’t as pure as those from canned food or nutrient packs.

Li Yue glanced impassively at Sai’er beside her, extracted the analysis data, and sent it to Flar and McKoff’s smart-brains.

A moment later, the old men finally shook their heads. "As expected. It’s still no good."

Flar’s eyes were filled with disappointment. "How is this any different from ordinary food?"

McKoff said, "Looks like we’ll have to find that old man Yarko after all. Who knows where he got that food sample? The data from that tiny sample isn’t nearly enough to study!"

Flar shook his head. "When I smelled it just now, I thought it was..."

McKoff met his gaze, a tacit understanding in their eyes.

When Li Yue had lifted the lid of the food container, they had both noticed that the aroma of Bai Su’s food was very similar to the food Yarko had brought back from god-knows-where.

Though the scent wasn’t identical, it carried the same distinct fragrance of having been cooked with fats and oils.

The hope that had just begun to blossom in the two of them was once again crushed.

’Maybe Bai Su just used the similar aroma to fool that kid Yelias into getting her a spot here?’

Bai Su heard Grandpa Yarco’s name and subconsciously glanced in their direction.

Li Yue looked at Bai Su coolly. "Alright, that’s all for your work today. You may leave."

Hearing this, Bai Su nodded and said nothing more.

「The next day.」

Bai Su brought new food again.

This time, however, she didn’t bring a full meal, but rather two small pastries she had made herself.

When Sai’er saw the two small pastries she had packed, he frowned slightly. "Is this all?"

Bai Su shot him a cold glance. "Not enough?"

Sai’er noticed her unusual attitude, and his expression soured. "Why are you being so hostile? It’s not like I’m the one making you bring food."

He added, exasperated, "If you don’t want to do this, go tell Yelias. You’re acting like we’re forcing you to bring samples here every day."

Seeing the dispute, Flar glanced toward Bai Su, displeased. "Miss Bai, a research lab is not like the outside world."

"Here in the Lanton Family’s research lab, we don’t care if you’re a Duke or what kind of power you have."

"If you plan on putting on airs and throwing your weight around, I suggest you withdraw from this project sooner rather than later."

McKoff was also perturbed. "The food samples are getting smaller by the day. Am I to understand that you’re getting lazier by the day?"

"Wanting to share in the project’s findings without doing the work—that sort of thing doesn’t fly in a Lanton Family laboratory."

Bai Su crossed her arms. "With which eye did either of you see me wanting a share of your research findings?"

"Yelias invited me to participate in this experiment. It’s not as if I came begging for the opportunity."
