My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 585 - 197: Edible Version Iron-eating Beast_3

For this reason, Du Xixi thought of Ke Lian based on these hands, and her intuition told her that this young man must be from the Military Department. And indeed, facts confirmed her instincts.

The young man felt the sudden warmth and compassion in Du Xixi’s eyes, felt embarrassed, tilted his head slightly and explained: "I’ve idolized Marshal Ke Lian since I was a child, entering the Military Department is preparing myself to endure hardships. If it weren’t for missing the military academy recruitment due to health reasons back then, I might have already been at the military academy now."

Du Xixi liked such ambitious young people. Although as he described, it highlighted that Ke Lian was really "getting on in years," but when Ke Lian became famous, this young man was indeed still a child, Du Xixi couldn’t refute even if she wanted to. After exchanging a few more words with the young man, she walked away to other places. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Their conversation wasn’t deliberately held in a low voice, people around could hear clearly if they paid a bit of attention. Naturally, the surrounding students envied him for being able to talk so much with Du Xixi. As for the professors, they looked appreciatively at this student, liking his perseverance and ambition.

The distance from the platform where Iron-eating Beast is stationed isn’t far, making it hard for these three not to hear the conversation between Du Xixi and the young man. But the only one who kept the conversation in mind was the Minister of the Military.

As the highest leader of the Military Department and familiar with Ke Lian, the Minister naturally knows how daunting Ke Lian’s training intensity is. This moment, Du Xixi associated Ke Lian because of a young man’s calluses, making the Minister unable to resist the urge to look at the young man’s hands.

What kind of hands could make Du Xixi, the Empire Marshal’s Wife, so confidently determine the young man’s department? The Minister of the Military was immensely curious.

The Minister kept the matter in mind. When Du Xixi returned to the podium and invited everyone to bring dough for the next step, the Minister quietly moved to the side of the young man, discreetly observing him.

Du Xixi is an amateur, though having learned many special moves unique to the Military Department from Ke Lian, she’s not considered a real soldier, thus only looking at hands when assessing people. However, the Minister has a knack for recognizing the characteristics shared by All-Star soldiers. Observing closely now, he rarely felt satisfaction towards someone.

The young man had just enrolled, although his physical fitness seemed good, it’s clear he’s accustomed to hard work. Yet, he hasn’t developed the unique soldier’s aura that comes from special training; his aura is still clean, slightly mixed with a soldier’s vibe. Without spending long periods in the military, one’s not likely to identify him as a future soldier.

A talented, capable young man striving to become a soldier is admired by not only Du Xixi, this amateur, but also the Minister of the Military who sees this promising path.

Though the occasion wasn’t suitable, the Minister wouldn’t recklessly approach the young man, avoiding giving the young man trouble. He decided to wait before having a separate conversation with him.

The Military Department is rich in talent, but the Minister wouldn’t let suitable talent slip away.

Iron-eating Beast and His Majesty Toso are attentively standing beside Du Xixi, listening to her next instructions, while the Minister discreetly moved away from the young man, ensuring nobody noticed his intentions directed towards the boy. His strict demeanor gradually relaxed.

Having heard that Blue Star University’s Military Department is full of talents, most sent to the Military Department are top talents chosen from major military academies, while fewer come from Blue Star University’s Military Department. This led the Minister to never pay attention to Blue Star University’s Military Department.

Now it seems he needs a closer observation. Good seedlings need to be recruited early; otherwise, few talents are sent to the Military Department, not only a loss for it but also diminishing interest in Blue Star University’s Military Department.

The Minister of the Military contemplated many things in an instant, while Du Xixi already taught everyone how to add color to the dough, then thoughtfully took out black and white dough and demonstrated on site.

A round white head, white body, black ears, black limbs, and tail, plus a short black tail dotting the back—the depiction was completed with Du Xixi’s light laughter, adding two iconic "black eye circles" to the little cutie emerging from under her hands.

"Hey!" Iron-eating Beast was standing nearby, watching as a miniature version of himself appeared in Du Xixi’s hands. Though the dough with various shapes, lengths, black and white only matched in color to himself, combined together, they evidently represented him without needing additional features like nose and mouth.

Or, anyone could recognize it as an Iron-eating Beast!

"Ma’am, is this me?" Iron-eating Beast happily tapped his paws, looking at the dough Iron-eating Beast gently placed on the platform by Du Xixi, feeling somewhat excited. "It’s so cute!"

Du Xixi chuckled lightly and pushed the dough Iron-eating Beast along with a small clean glass piece under it towards Iron-eating Beast’s front, softly saying: "Yes, it’s for you."
