The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 574 - 458: Birthday Party (Part 2)
......
After a few hours of gaming and chatting.
The sun had begun to sink below the horizon, leaving a brilliant sunset.
Chelina, who had been busy in the kitchen all this time, had long since finished preparing the ingredients and was quietly chatting with Miaomiao and the others, occasionally showing a relaxed smile on her otherwise calm face.
It was about time.
Lin Guang suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen, standing in the center of the island-style counter.
The kitchen was already filled with Spirit Material Level ingredients that their wolf-eared maid had prepared in advance.
Under her almost artistic knife skills, whether it was the tough roots of Spirit Plants or soft mushrooms, meat or freshly slaughtered live fish, or some other extremely difficult ingredients, everything was prepared for easy cooking without losing their essence, neatly placed in exquisite containers.
The quality and quantity of these ingredients were more akin to a top-tier hotel’s kitchen than a private family meal.
Everyone just felt like an aura was suddenly burning from him, with a flash of dark golden flame passing through his eyes, and even something black seemed to vaguely appear above his head.
At this moment, the young man resembled a king strategizing with wisdom, and this kitchen was his Domain. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
——Who says Domains can’t be unfolded in Zhen Sheng City?
——Go tell that to my [Gourmet God]!
"Wow wow wow... It feels just like what you see on TV!"
Miao Xin was visibly excited: "Champion brother is so strong!"
Everyone else got excited too.
And so, the kitchen of the new house was fully operational for the first time.
In the Chinese cooking area, three massive stoves spewed red flames originating from Lin Guang himself, the scene resembling a planetary engine, with Chelina assisting Lin Guang by preparing sauces, passing ingredients, and cooperating seamlessly.
Their hands moved almost like phantoms, and various lights sparkled around them, entering a realm of fantasy.
Lisa and Miaomiao were happily busy in the dessert area, wearing cute aprons, carefully following the recipe using Spiritual Energy mixers to beat cream, preparing other desserts besides a birthday cake.
However...
The most ridiculous one was Vishdair.
She stood beside the giant oven, a bit perplexed: "What’s going on? Why is this thing shaking?"
"Feels like it’s going to explode."
Everyone turned their heads: "?"
Vishdair had long coveted the Tier Four Spiritual Artifact oven stuffed with a mechanical-type Spirit Beast [Flame Heart Gear], and had volunteered to cook a dish she’d always wanted to try.
At this moment, she was enthusiastically using Ether to communicate with the gear, preheating the oven and regulating the temperature, while marinating a large piece of premium Tier Five Spirit Beast Meat with secret sauce.
However, there seemed to be a problem with the communication.
Under Vishdair’s overwhelming might that lacked restraint, the Flame Heart Gear, which should have been well-trained, seemed a bit frightened.
So the entire oven started to tremble, as if it were about to fall apart.
At that moment.
A plain hand, unfazed by the heat, pressed against the surface of the oven, with a flash of green ripple passing over.
Like receiving the best comfort, the oven’s spirit was soothed, the trembling ceased, and it began to function normally.
It was Kaelis, who had somehow arrived in the kitchen.
She glanced at Vishdair, and a sound reminiscent of a large feline’s exhale, filled with disdain, rang out beside her.
Hah——
This sound immediately made the silver-haired girl’s face flush red.
"What’s with you, broken oven, listening to her and not to me?! Do you believe I won’t blow you to bits!"
"Vishdair sister, calm down!!"
——The cooking process wasn’t without its bumps, but it was more like chaos.
Yet in less than an hour and a half, a magnificent and richly fragrant feast, comparable to a banquet, was completed on a large table.
At half-past seven in the evening.
Everyone could finally sit around the dining table, savoring this delicious meal that gathered everyone’s sentiments.
Even Kaelis ate quite a lot.
And after dinner, everyone gathered in front of the TV, watching programs as they waited for the food to digest before enjoying the delicious cake Kaelis brought.
Ding Dong——
Miao Xin took out her phone and answered the call.
"Mom and Dad!"
She answered a family video call.
Lin Guang cast an inadvertent glance, seeing on the screen an ordinary-looking couple, speaking kindly to Miao Xin.
Miao Xin naturally shared the camera with her sister.
However...
When the camera turned to Miaomiao, although the smile on her face remained sweet, there was a touch of polite courtesy in her eyes and tone.
Completely different from the intimacy she showed when interacting with her sister Miao Xin.
It was like she wasn’t a part of the family, but rather a close neighbor’s sister visiting.
A sense of... estrangement.
After hanging up the call, Lin Guang looked at Miaomiao, who had returned to her lively state.
However, Miaomiao seemed to intuit his thoughts, turned around, and smiled at him, yet subtly and almost indiscernibly shook her head.
"..."
Lin Guang slightly lowered his eyelids.
...
Not long after, the large box containing the cake was opened.
It was a pristine round cream cake, a full fifteen inches in diameter.
The cake body was six centimeters tall, luxuriously dressed in a gentle layer of evenly spread fresh cream, decorated smoothly with shell patterns on the sides, and the top was generously covered with halved strawberries over more than half of its surface.
