Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Yelias Discovers Bai Su’s Healing Ability

A flash of disgust crossed Yelias’s eyes.

’So this woman won over the old man by imitating his sister’s personality and preferences.’

’And she dares to build this persona of having a superpower.’

He suspected that these dishes must have been laced with some kind of micro-dosed drug.

The Lanton Family was the world’s foremost medical dynasty, possessing the most advanced medical technology. The Lanton Family alone had plenty of drugs of this type.

But he had been watching the stream for a while and saw many comments claiming that eating Bai Su’s food had even cured long-term infertility, resulting in pregnancies.

’Such ridiculous claims were either from paid shills this woman Bai Su hired or just a placebo effect. Those ignorant people probably just happened to eat her food while trying to conceive and mistakenly gave her the credit.’

He was quite curious. With the Federation’s medical technology being so advanced, where on earth had she gotten a banned drug that made her bold enough to so blatantly build up this high-profile persona?

He was so certain because the old Bai Su didn’t have a superpower even when she was a Level 7 Beastman. So now that she was only at the third and fourth level, it was absolutely impossible for her to have one.

If she hadn’t awakened a superpower before, the only way to awaken one now was if she could level up past Level 7.

Only with a Level breakthrough was it possible for a new superpower to appear.

But even then, the probability was extremely low.

Yelias’s gaze swept coldly over the woman cooking skillfully on the livestream, then dropped to the table full of food, a chill flashing in his eyes.

He pulled a pair of medical gloves from his pocket and retrieved a small medical kit from his smart-brain’s storage. He opened it to reveal an assortment of tools like scalpels and forceps.

He used the forceps to place a slice of fish on a glass slide and sniffed it.

The rich, savory aroma, both sour and spicy, was incredibly appetizing. Even he couldn’t help but swallow.

’What did that kid call it again?’

’This is "Golden Soup with Pickled Mustard Fish." Made with the ingredients he had sent over last night.’

He had deliberately sent the ingredients to test her.

That fish had a unique property: its flesh would turn acidic upon contact with any processed chemical agent. To pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, this woman actually claimed it was some kind of pickled fish dish.

’Does she think she can cover up the fish’s acidity just like that?’

A sharp glint flashed in Yelias’s eyes. With the meticulous mindset of conducting an experiment, he placed the slice of fish in his mouth, taking a small bite to taste it.

A savory, sour, and spicy flavor exploded in his mouth.

The fish wasn’t gamey in the slightest. Not only that, but it also had an indescribable sweetness and was extremely tender and smooth.

His mind went completely blank for a moment.

’This is the taste of fish?!’

’No, there’s also a subtle, numbing tingle from peppercorns and a slight spiciness.’

’This sour taste doesn’t seem to be coming from the fish itself. It’s more like the flavor of the sauce coating its surface—the flavor of the broth.’

He kept savoring the taste in his mouth, and by the time he realized it, he had already swallowed.

Yelias stared at the table of dishes, lost in a daze.

’She can actually cook?’

Unconvinced, Yelias picked up another slice of fish to taste, his movements carrying a hint of urgency he himself didn’t even notice.

The delectable flavor of the fish burst in his mouth. The sour broth tasted more like the tangy fragrance of some kind of fermented vegetable. As it exploded on his palate, his mouth watered and his appetite surged.

In his experience, even canned fish had a gamey smell, a shorter shelf life than other canned goods, and required more difficult storage conditions.

For this fish to be so tender, smooth, and sweet, with absolutely no gaminess!

’This is simply impossible!’

Yelias stared at the slice of fish in a stupor.

On the livestream, Bai Su was still interacting with her audience. Her smiling face looked exceptionally bright and lovely, and she didn’t seem the least bit upset by the provocative message he’d sent with his gift earlier.

He couldn’t help but press his lips together, a strange feeling stirring in his heart.

He knew this woman was calculating and would do anything for fame and fortune.

But upon tasting such delicious food, he found it hard to suppress the shock he felt.
