BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 Cooking
Chapter 75: Cooking
[You have killed the black tiger, an S-ranked beast.]
[You have received an invitation to the 69th ranked world, Ucha World.]
[You have killed your first, S-ranked beast! You have received an old scroll of the tiger\'s primordial technique, White Tiger\'s Roar.]
"Hey, aren\'t these nice rewards?" Max laughed as he picked up an old scroll containing the peculiar technique.
And as he spread the scroll, he added, "I didn\'t know it was so easy to get primordial skills. Boning dragons, killing the beast, and what\'s next? I can\'t wait to find out."
Alice parted her jaw, gnawing on his neck. But as it didn\'t hurt much, Max just tilted his head to give her more room to enjoy his flesh.
The scroll turned into blue particles, etching its content in Max\'s mind.
"I didn\'t understand anything, but I guess I can use grandpa\'s system to use the skill," Max grinned while picking up the tiger\'s dead body. He would use it to strengthen good girls such as Rosangela, Aimee, and Sofia.
Alice looked around, hissing at the tigers cowering in fear.
Zamira sighed, unable to stop herself from commenting, "Are you a kid?"
Alice didn\'t answer, hissing on the weaker monsters to show her superiority and her proud dragon bloodline.
Zamira gave up, focusing on her beloved, "I had a feeling that you and The Unbounded Explorer are connected. He was a man with abundant mana, too. But you top him as someone with his mana pool and the non-human bloodline.
But what is your non-human bloodline, really?" Zamira couldn\'t help but ask Max, her eyes shining with curiosity.
She understood that Max and The Unbounded Explorer were undoubtedly connected through blood ties. His grandpa was impressive, for he didn\'t rely on mana similar to Max.
But because of his talent and abundant mana pool, he met a wife that had given him a child with her bloodline.
And what exactly was that bloodline?
Max recalled what his grandfather told him, speaking with a faint and quite unsure voice, "He told me the name and that I should never mention it outside. That race was like humans, but they had nine hearts, and their bodies were constructed to host and wield mana differently.
Honestly, I want to see whether I have nine hearts, too. Haha. Of course, I will tell you the name," Max chuckled as he saw uncontrolled curiosity in Zamira\'s eyes as she learned that her beloved knew the name of his non-human bloodline.
Max whispered to her ear, "Minerva."
Zamira nodded, replying in a lovely voice, "Thank you for telling me." It was a show of trust that was so simple yet influencing. "I don\'t know such a race. They might be from the far past…
I will ask around when you allow me," Zamira added.
She knew that Max didn\'t want to research this race yet. He planned to check whether Zion would have some information about it. Just simply calling out Minerva shouldn\'t hurt them. Still, it could be somewhat dangerous if Zamira asked around in her tribe and other places she visited regularly.
In such a vast world, some people are too bored. They also couldn\'t advance their levels without a significant factor.
Max and his non-human bloodline could significantly change people\'s lives; he was sure of it.
Thus, it was better to be just a little cautious, but not so much to never learn about Minerva Clan. It would be the worst if Max learned about them in the moments of desperation, awakening some power that would take his sanity away in exchange for strength…
Those were movie plots, but Max didn\'t exclude them.
At last, Max and the twins returned home.

"You do it… like this!" Alice said while yanking off a significant part of the black tiger\'s meat. It was boneless and ready for cooking.
She was a good cook, even though she couldn\'t explain stuff. Alice followed her heart in every action that required brain or some work.
Nonetheless, as Zamira started following the new knowledge from Max\'s new information about the dragons, Alice liked cooking way more.
She also used a new mana course to prepare water.
"This water came out of your mouth. It\'s like saliva, isn\'t it?" Max pointed at the pot with boiling water. Near the pot, Zamira sat with her hands on her knees, spitting some gentle flames from time to time.
Alice\'s face turned red from indignation, stomping on the ground with scrunched face, "Yes! I spat to this pot, and you will try the soup of it soon!"
Max widened his eyes, parting his lips as if a shock went through him. Inwardly, he sneered, though.
But Alice fell from his expression, looking at him oddly, "What?"
Max nodded, awkwardly saying, "If it\'s your saliva, then it is no good. Only I can exchange saliva with my pretty dragon."
He wrapped his arm around her waist, gazing at her with a wide smile.
Alice, for a moment, fell for his teasing, staring at him in a daze. She then kicked his stomach, distancing herself from him, "We are cooking now!
And I hate your teases when they are out of the place!" Alice turned around, facing Max with her back, showcasing her long blue hair.
Max sighed, unable to take a good peek at her buttocks, "Cut your hair, sweet Alice!"
"I will think about it," Alice pouted while focusing on cooking.
And below them, Zamira smiled at them, adding a few more hisses with new techniques, preparing the best food.
Max and the twins tasted it, their eyes twinkling, "This is supernatural food! The highest quality! Of course, it\'s all prepared by the best cook Alice and her elder sister!"
"Bow and melt before the draconian cooking," Alice lifted the fork, looking at her prepared meat with sparkling eyes, drooling.
She ate in abundance.
And before the Ei Household noticed, the whole tiger\'s meat disappeared into their stomachs!
Alice patted her belly.
Zamira silently wiped her lips with a handkerchief.
And Max received the sudden understanding, "Didn\'t we mean to share this food with ordinary people to help them get more mana?"
Alice ignored him, patting her belly.
Zamira turned her eyes to her beloved, whispering, "We can always kill more S-ranked beasts."
"Actually, that\'s not a bad idea. Let\'s kill them all and get good reserves. We will share good stuff with people showing potential," Max nodded.
He swore to control himself better this time.
And then, it was time for rest.
Alice already snored.
Zamira brought her chair close to Max, seizing an opportunity to rest on his shoulder. She was also a good source of warmth, so Max quickly wrapped his hand around her slim waist, taking her closer.
"Heck it," he said, lifting her up, and bringing her onto his lap. The chair was big, so Zamira and Max comfortably slept on it.
And in this way, Ei Household spent their evening.
Two hours later, the guest arrived in their household.
"Good evening, everyone," Aimee came in her player clothes; her bow reeked off the killing intent.
She returned from killing.
Max smiled, "Good evening, beautiful and sharp, Aimee."
Aimee faintly smiled before taking a seat, "I\'ve come to talk about the Darkened Soul."
