Chapter 62: Crispy Fried Worm Strips

Ling Yaoyao scowled, pretended to be upset, and said, "Your improper eating attitude made me feel that my food is very unattractive to you. I won't cook for you in the future."

Ling Xuan had to let go. His expression is as if he had lost hundreds of millions. He did not forget to say, "Then we will continue after eating."

Ling Yaoyao: '...Brother, I am willing to let you hold hands, but it does not mean that I am willing to be held on forever!'

Ling Xuan immediately defended himself, "Just this month's worth, not long at all!"

Ling Yaoyao: '...can it still be counted like this?'

Fortunately, both of them were very hungry. Their attention was quickly shifted to the dining table.

Chinese-style steak is a marinated beef tenderloin which then fried until golden brown on both sides. It is tender on the outside and sweet and sour on the inside with tomato sauce. It is very appetizing.

The color of cola chicken wings is red-brown and shiny. It has the sweetness of cola and the strong fragrance of chicken wings, which is mouth-watering.

Sweet and sour pork ribs are fried crispy ribs wrapped in flour and then coated with melted sugar and tomato sauce. The caramelly, crisp, sweet, and salty flavors are blended together, and the taste is first-class.

The Hakka stuffed tofu is delicious, the fish-flavored rice has a sweet taste, and the pumpkin soup is mellow...

Ling Xuan tasted this delicacy that he hadn't tasted for a while. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop. The curative effect is also very good. It was extremely comfortable to subdue all the mania in Ling Xuan's spiritual domain.

Ling Xuan felt that his whole person was surrounded by deep happiness, from his stomach to his spiritual realm and then to his heart.

He imagined that if every time he comes back from a task in the future, he has her waiting for him at home and then comes up with this kind of delicious home-cooked dishes, all his hard work is worth it.

This little girl's craftmanship unknowingly moved Ling Xuan's heart.

At first, he just liked to watch her look at him with shining eyes. When they were a little more familiar, he liked the feeling of being dependent on and caring for her. Then when they become very familiar, he likes to see her disobedient and swearing appearances...

In the course of his evolution of feelings, there is also the factor of being conquered by the deliciousness of her skillful cooking time and time again.

He never liked desserts, but he liked the little cakes she made.

He was not picky about what he had eaten before, but he felt that what others did was bad after eating what she made. Not only was the taste was worse, but more importantly, there was no "love" in it.

Even the bitter leaf tea that she deliberately packed for him, Ling Xuan could taste the sweetness from it. He would not give it to others at all.

Before he knew it, he even wanted to pull the little girl herself into his own bowl and taste her... and to "eat" her.

Ling Yaoyao saw that Ling Xuan was eating fast without a word of comment. She couldn't help poking his arm. "Why don't you give a comment? Is it delicious?"

Ling Xuan glanced at her, asked the robot butler to fill the fourth bowl of rice for him, and said concisely, "It's delicious."

Ling Yaoyao was dissatisfied. "...you are too perfunctory! No, you have to compliment me!"

Ling Xuan thought for a while and said sincerely, "It's so delicious that I want to eat it for a lifetime."

Unexpectedly, Ling Yaoyao was stunned by his euphemistic confession. Her ears were suspiciously red. "Just eat! Why there are so many words!" Then she picked up her rice bowl and worked hard to pick up the rice.

When he looked at the little girl's cute and shy response, Ling Xuan's stomach was full, but another deeper desire was awakened... Ah, she was so cute that he wanted to take a bite!

Ling Xuan gave the little girl a strip of ribs with more meat and fewer bones. "Don't just eat vegetables. You are too thin."

Ling Yaoyao asked him, "If I am just two hundred pounds of fat, would you not dislike me?"

Ling Xuan thought for a while and replied, "I won't dislike you. I can hold you."

Ling Yaoyao blushed all over. "...Who wants you to hug!"

'My gosh, it's not appropriate to talk to this person when eating!'

Ling Xuan chuckles. "Heh..."

'So cute, one bite is not enough.'

However, the reality is that they are not allowed to hug... Fortunately, he can still hold her small hands.

Unfortunately, after dinner, Ling Xuan couldn't keep holding hands.

Ling Yaoyao said that 012 was not full and went into her spacious kitchen again. She asked Ling Xuan to take out the insect meat that she had just collected. She had to study how to make it delicious.

Ling Xuan opened the shell of the giant insect for Ling Yaoyao and explained to her about the taste of the Zerg after boiling in water. It is fishy and difficult to swallow. Although it is rich in energy, it also contains a lot of tyrannical energy components. Combatants would easily fall into mania after eating it.

Ling Yaoyao took a piece of Zerg meat of about three kilograms and began to experiment. She and Ling Xuan will also try a few pieces if it tastes good. It doesn't taste good... cough cough. Just let 012 use it as nourishment.

The energy of S-level wing insects is equivalent to the exotic animal meat at the top of the fifth level. However, the meat structure is not as complicated as high-level exotic animal meat. It is a bit transparent and milky white, without bones, and the meat is very tender. It looks like the texture is between shrimp, fish, and chicken.

Ling Yaoyao is now able to deal with meat with mental power, so she tentatively put her mental tentacles into it. She found that there were strips of light white fine tendons intertwined densely, which contained a kind of uncomfortable feeling, probably those "tyrannical energy" components.

Fortunately, the complexity of the fleshy cell structure is only equivalent to that of second-level meat. It is not difficult for Ling Yaoyao to handle it.

After extracting the tyrannical energy components, she cut the insect meat into finger-wide strips. She marinated them with cooking wine, ginger slices, and soy sauce for 15 minutes.

Then she put the meat in a bowl of beaten egg, salt, and pepper, and coat it with a layer of flour, then put them in a frying pan and fried it.

The rich smell of meat immediately filled the kitchen.

Ling Xuan has been on Ling Yaoyao's side the whole time, purely as onlookers. However, when he saw Ling Yaoyao take out the finished product from the fryer, he raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise.

'Can the smelly and unswallowable Zerg meat be so fragrant and attractive?!'

After she picked up the first batch of golden crispy fried insect meat strips and put them on the absorbent paper on the plate, Ling Yaoyao handed Ling Xuan a pair of chopsticks and said expectantly, "Quick, try it!"

Ling Xuan knew that this girl was afraid that it would not taste good, so she wanted him to taste it as a guinea pig!

However, even if she doesn't cook well, he is willing to be her guinea pig!

The crispy fried insect meat strips just out of the pan. It is crispy and tender in the mouth, and they taste great!

There is no fishiness as imagined, and the meat contains plenty of energy!

Compared with the terrifying appearance of the Zerg, the deliciousness of its meat is amazing!

Ling Xuan simply said, "It's delicious! But it is equivalent to the meat of a fifth-level alien beast. But you just had dinner. You can only eat one or two pieces at most. Don't eat more than that."

012, who came in after smelling the scent, couldn't wait anymore. Regardless of the heat of the meat, it started to eat it too.

After getting the "good taste" affirmation from 012, Ling Yaoyao also tried a piece and found it was really delicious!

It tastes no worse than fried shrimp, fried chicken fillet, etc. It is more tender than chicken, chewier than shrimp and fish, and has a bit of elastic feel!

She hasn't used complicated cooking methods. She simply marinated it to get rid of the fishiness and deep-fried it!

It's a pity that she only ate two pieces, and Ling Xuan stopped her from continuing to eat. However, when she thought of the last time she had overeaten, Ling Yaoyao had to stop.

Seeing her resentment, Ling Xuan said amusedly, "I'll fry the rest. You go and rest first."

Ling Yaoyao looked at him suspiciously, "Will it explode?"

Ling Xuan: "I saw you do it once. It will work. If you don't want to cook in the future, I can cook ordinary food for you. Or you can handle it with mental energy, and I will cook it."
