Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Setting Her Up with Yan Xiaoliu?

It didn’t take long for her to figure out what Bai Xue was up to.

While she was in the kitchen prepping ingredients and cooking, Bai Xue stood beside her, staring intently. She wore a foolish expression that screamed, ’I’m secretly learning your recipes, but I won’t say a word.’

The corner of Bai Su’s mouth twitched. She shot her a look. "Want to learn?"

"Of course not!" Bai Xue denied it instantly. "Why would I ever try to steal your recipes?"

Bai Su had been about to say that if she wanted to learn, she should just do it openly instead of being so sneaky. ’Not that she’d be able to learn anything anyway.’

But since Bai Xue refused to admit it, Bai Su couldn’t be bothered to press the issue.

After a moment’s thought, Bai Xue couldn’t resist leaning in closer. "You know, we’re both from the Bai family. There’s really no need for us to fight to the death."

"Look at you now. Your cooking has made you quite famous in the Federation."

"If we worked together, wouldn’t we be unstoppable?"

Bai Su continued chopping vegetables without looking back. "You said it yourself—my cooking has made me famous. What do you bring to the table that would make me want to work with you?"

Bai Xue said, full of self-importance, "I’m a daughter of the Bai family! I’m nobility!"

Bai Su rolled her eyes. "And I’m not?"

Bai Xue was at a loss for words. She reflexively wanted to sneer but quickly suppressed the urge. "That’s not what I meant. I’m saying I’m better at using the family’s resources, and the nobles are more familiar with me and trust me more. If you teach me how to cook food with this Healing Ability, I can build your reputation among the aristocracy."

Her selfish calculations were practically written all over her face.

Bai Su didn’t want to talk to this idiot anymore, afraid she might lose a few IQ points just by listening.

She handed a dish to Bai Xue. "Take this out."

Seeing that Bai Su didn’t respond, Bai Xue felt a surge of annoyance. But the thought that she still needed to steal Bai Su’s techniques made her swallow her pride. She turned and went out to serve the dish.

Fortunately, with an adult like Bai Xue helping out as a waitress, the little ones’ workload was significantly lightened.

Bai Su couldn’t help but wonder if it was about time to hire a server to help with the miscellaneous tasks.

The food she currently served in her restaurant consisted mainly of expensive dishes. Her customers were mostly wealthy influencers and members of rich families who didn’t lack money. As a result, her prices were high, and her daily earnings were substantial.

If she used some of this money to hire a kitchen assistant, she could cook faster. That would increase her output in the same amount of time, and her profits would definitely go up.

She would also need to get another stove, more cookware, and a few steamers. That way, she could steam and stew several main dishes simultaneously.

As Bai Su was lost in thought, her head lowered, she lost focus for a second and the kitchen knife sliced her finger. "Hiss..."

"Are you alright?" Someone reacted even faster than she did, rushing in to grab her hand and snatch the knife away.

It was Yan Xiaoliu, one of her regulars.

He had practically turned his debunking livestreams into eating livestreams lately, coming to her restaurant every single day. As a result, both his physical health and his spiritual power were steadily improving.

Lately, he’d even had the faint feeling that he was about to level up.

He stared with concern at Bai Su’s delicate, fair fingers. There was a deep gash on the rosy pad of her fingertip.

The blade was so sharp it had nearly sliced off a piece of flesh.

Yan Xiaoliu’s heart ached for her. Acting on pure instinct, he immediately put her finger in his mouth.

Bai Su: "???"
