If Scarlett had known about Christopher’s initial thought, she probably would have felt a little—just a little and nothing more—touched because she had often been locked by her grandfather in the kitchen to practice her culinary skills. Christopher scanned the ingredients placed at his side and mentally compared them with the ingredients of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, which he then realized that they were exactly the same. There were three sets of ingredients in total. He nodded, then swiftly picked up a knife to slice and shred the ingredients according to the recipe of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, and those that did not require any preparations were placed off to one side. There were about 40 kinds of ingredients here. Some of them looked ordinary, but they actually required a cooking method that was different from how ordinary ingredients were usually prepared. There were some ingredients that were directly put into a pot whereby frying, steaming, boiling or grilling were unnecessary. There were also some ingredients that required a more peculiar cooking method, in that it had to be steamed for an hour. Meanwhile, there were some that consisted of only a few shreds of usable fibers while the rest of it had to be discarded. Christopher sighed inwardly at the complexity of preparing the ingredients. However, he was no longer a novice in his Beginner Level and he had now reached the Intermediate Level for all his skills, so preparing the soup according to the recipe was not difficult for him. Two hours later, he successfully prepared the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. A tempting aroma abruptly rose from the pot and at that moment, it overpowered all the fragrance of the dishes nearby. Almost everyone turned their heads toward Christopher at that instant, their gazes revealing their puzzlement and shock. I can’t believe that something can be so fragrant! Christopher inhaled the aroma, which instantly induced a tingling sensation at his nether region and aroused his carnal desire. The male chefs beside him were no different; they couldn’t wait to dash toward him to snatch his Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup. Scarlett, who took a whiff of the scent, couldn’t resist the urge to dash to his side. She then asked in astonishment, “Hey! What soup is that? Why is it so fragrant?” Christopher looked at the lustrous soup that seemed that it could make a filling meal by itself and a wicked smile played by his lips. Ha! Inhaling the scent has already made me feel aroused, so I wonder what will happen if one consumes it. Tsk! Upon seeing him ignoring her question, Scarlett glanced at him in puzzlement before waving her hand in front of his face. However, when she saw the silly grin on his face and the saliva at the corner of his lips, she was enraged. “Christopher Yard!” She slapped his back, shaking him to the core. Then, he hurriedly wiped the saliva at the corner of his lips and smirked. “It is none other than my Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, of course! I have succeeded in concocting it.” “It smells so good! I can’t stand it anymore; I want to try some.” Looking at the pot of soup with appetizing presentation and incredibly unique tempting aroma, she hurriedly grabbed a bowl to serve herself the soup. F*ck! I can’t let this girl drink this. Who knows what will happen after this! And so, he immediately caught her petite hand. “Scarlett, only men can drink this soup. If a woman drinks it, she will have pimples all over her face, she will gain weight, and her legs will become thick. In short, she will look horrible.” “Ah!” Upon hearing that, Scarlett was given a fright and she jumped away from his side while throwing the bowl into the sink, for fear that even smelling the soup would give her the same effect. Now, she dared not touch the soup no matter how fragrant it smelled. Christopher heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the girl backing away. Otherwise, he would have to rack his brain to give Luna an explanation. Still, it was undeniable that the soup smelled great and he wondered how it tasted. Rubbing his chin, he mused, Well, I have to get a tester when something new is made. Let’s see… who should be the guinea pig? I can’t get a human tester, though. What if something happens to him after he consumes the soup? The next instant, he remembered the two dogs in the backyard, and they were coincidentally a male and a female dog. He heard from someone that these two dogs refused to mate lately. “Ahem! Everyone, don’t touch the soup, else something terrible will happen!” With his eyes narrowed, he made an announcement in a stern manner before he filled a bowl of soup and went to the backyard while grinning. Baffled by his actions, Scarlett looked at him with her brows slightly knitted. He must be up to something bad again. And so, she inwardly snorted and followed him from behind. Meanwhile, Christopher found the two dogs and went up to them. After he carefully identified which of them was the male dog, he pulled the female dog to one side before placing the bowl of soup beside the male dog. The moment he put down the bowl of aromatic soup, the male dog instantly took notice of it. Unable to resist the temptation, it dashed over and stuck out its tongue to drink the soup; it seemed to relish it a lot. The female dog at the side attempted to dash over to join in the fun and it almost succeeded in doing so despite Christopher’s effort in tugging on the leash very tightly. Only when the male dog had licked the bowl clean did he dare to release the female dog. Staring at the male dog, he mused to himself as he recalled the characteristics of the Hundred Tonics Nourishing soup. “Theoretically, the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup has some aphrodisiac properties but since it is not a drug, the effect should show in the night!” Nevertheless, to his surprise, right after the male dog had finished the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, it ran up to the female dog. Before the latter could react, it plopped itself on top of the female dog from behind. F*ck! The soup takes effect so fast? One bowl is enough to bring out the effect? Staring blankly at the two entwined dogs, he couldn’t help but to inwardly muse to himself, The dog’s member is much larger than usual dogs! However, Scarlett, who had been following Christopher from behind, instantly blushed at the sight of the dogs mating. She had never witnessed this kind of scene so she was extremely abashed. She then stomped her foot in frustration. This is so embarrassing! If Luna finds out about this, she will definitely tease me! Upon having such thoughts, she quickly covered her face with her hands. “Christopher, how dare you let me see this kind of thing? You’re finished!” She took out a knife and unhesitatingly tossed it at Christopher, and the knife was sent flying toward his nether region. Swish, swish, swish! The knife spun and drew streaks across the air. Upon seeing this, Christopher had a change in expression. F*ck! This girl has gone mad again. She was the one who followed me on her own initiative, but why is she blaming me now? Before the knife reached him, the vigilant Christopher leapt to the side, and the knife slashed through where he had been standing. In all honesty, the scene sent chills down his spine. In the end, Christopher, who had long been used to Scarlett’s character, quickly picked up the knife from the ground and raised it up high in the air so that Scarlett would not be able to touch it. “Calm down! You were the one who followed me on your own initiative!” he reprimanded. Then, he noticed the flush on her face, which he found incredibly adorable as it was a rare opportunity to see this side of her.
