On the emperors lash battleship,
The three women were all in their rooms, preparing for the dinner with Li Feng. The three women simultaneously sat in their rooms and began to get dressed. In fact, they weren't trying to win Li Feng's affection... but to defeat the other women.
The saying, "A woman's greatest enemy is always another woman," was a famous quote from Yekaterina II.
And at this moment, these words seemed to echo quietly in everyone's heart. Even Eliette, though she hadn't yet figured out her relationship with Li Feng, unconsciously began to get ready, because she didn't want to lose to that "white-haired female gorilla" Fides.
Kassia sat before an exquisite dressing table, meticulously combing her white hair. As a noble lady, every movement she made exuded an elegant demeanor.
With the careful assistance of her servants, she wore a well-tailored black gown that accentuated her slender figure, making her appear noble and solemn. The servant helped her put on a precious necklace; the brilliant gems sparkled under the lights, complementing her pale, almost gray skin, adding a touch of mystery and charm.
Fides, on the other hand, glared discontentedly at herself in the mirror as she put on her Battle Sisters robe, along with her white thigh-high stockings. Although she was a Battle Sisters, her makeup tonight was softer, and she had even, for once, borrowed cosmetics from Grand Sister Margaret.
She tied her hair neatly, unwilling to be outdone, and coldly snorted, secretly determined that she would not lose to anyone tonight.
In another room, Eliette casually put up her fiery red long hair, then quietly let it down. She silently watched herself in the mirror, seemingly pondering how she should appear tonight. Although she feigned indifference, deep down, she was filled with a firm resolve not to be outdone.
The women in their three rooms, each with different thoughts, were all engrossed in getting ready... In the yacht's kitchen,
In the yacht's kitchen, Li Feng had already changed his clothes and was skillfully chopping vegetables. With a flick of his wrist, the ingredients, held between his fingers in an "F chord" shape (an auxiliary hand position for quick, safe chopping), became neat and exquisite. His focused expression looked calm and charming under the light, as if in the world of cooking, he was the sole protagonist.
Meanwhile, on the living room sofa, Celestine was lazily leaning back, wrapped only in a bathrobe, her hair slightly damp and disheveled, exuding a hint of languor.
She propped her elbows on the sofa, a lingering expression on her face, gently closing her eyes as if savoring her recent experience. Although brief, the thrill of that moment made her lips curl slightly, like someone who had just secretly tasted forbidden fruit.
Watching Li Feng, wearing an apron, intently preparing ingredients, Celestine licked her lips. She now understood why Li Feng had Sanguinius so completely captivated; such a man was hard to find.
The feeling of a rogue just now and the current focus formed a stark contrast. "Indeed, a serious man is the most handsome..." Celestine thought to herself.
At this moment, Celestine stood up. Her loose bathrobe was open, revealing her perfect, glistening, sweating body. Barefoot, she slowly walked into the kitchen and hugged Li Feng from behind:
"Why are you so good? I really don't want to betray Sanguinius, but I really want to snatch you away~"
Feeling Celestine resting her chin on his shoulder, Li Feng also turned around and said, "I advise you not to try. It would be really difficult to snatch me from her hands."
Hearing Li Feng's words, Celestine smiled, then lightly kissed Li Feng's neck before walking towards the bedroom: "I'm going to take a shower and change. I'll borrow your hoodie."
Li Feng first prepared two cold dishes: scallion-dressed tofu and tiger salad. Then, Li Feng deboned two whole chickens, stir-fried the bones until cooked, and then poured them into a clay pot to simmer for soup.
He took out the chicken giblets from the refrigerator, soaked them in beer to remove blood, and then, using two jars of sauerkraut personally pickled by the Imperial Guards, stir-fried a dish of sauerkraut chicken giblets.
The chicken meat from the two chickens was used to make two stir-fried dishes. After the chicken was stir-fried and the moisture evaporated, he added cooking wine, soy sauce, thirteen-spice powder, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and grass fruit. Once cooked, he added enough beer to cover the ingredients, simmered it over high heat, and then added chopped green peppers, stir-frying before serving.
Li Feng started steaming rice. There were many people today, and both Fides and Celestine were big eaters, so he naturally steamed more rice. Celestine had already changed her clothes and was wearing slippers and Li Feng's oversized hoodie, watching from the side early on.
Li Feng glanced sideways. Celestine's appearance at the moment made Li Feng a little dazed, because she was wearing his oversized hoodie, looking quite neutral, and her smooth, fair, muscular thighs gave her the feeling of a sporty childhood friend from next door.
In reality, she had wanted to sleep in bed for a while, but the aroma of the food from outside had wafted out and drawn her. Soon, the yacht's door opened. At this moment, the three women stood simultaneously at Li Feng's room door. As the door opened, the rich aroma that assailed their nostrils made Kassia and Fides' eyes light up.
Eliette, relying on the Ark Aeldari's astonishing senses, began to sniff out the components of the aroma: "Chicken, spices, beer..."
At this moment, Li Feng, wearing gloves, was placing the plates of food one by one onto the table, then he called out to the three of them: "Come and sit down, the rice will be ready soon."
Seeing the food on the table, Fides' eyes sparkled. She had long wanted to eat Li Feng's cooking. Kassia was somewhat surprised; she had thought Li Feng would make Western food, but it was a family-style meal.
Eliette, however, smelled something strange in the aroma of the food in the air. She looked in the direction of the smell... it was the sofa, and this smell carried a peculiar sweet fragrance... Eliette frowned slightly, seeming puzzled by the subtle sweetness in the air, but she didn't ask further, instead silently sitting down.
Her gaze swept over the lavish dishes on the table, and she had to admit that the careful preparation of this meal made her see Li Feng in a new light. As all the dishes were on the table, everyone also served themselves rice and took their seats.
Fides couldn't wait to start eating. She picked up a piece of chicken, eagerly put it into her mouth, and immediately showed a satisfied expression: "This chicken is so good~~~"
Kassia smiled gracefully, her tone carrying a hint of admiration: "I didn't expect your cooking skills; it's truly surprising."
Her tone, though calm, carried a deep appreciation, seemingly conveying a sense of respect.
Li Feng smiled slightly, waving his hand casually, "It's just home cooking. As long as everyone likes it. Today we're relaxing, so let's enjoy this meal."
Celestine, eating rice soaked in chicken soup, picked up a chopstick full of chicken giblets and put it into her mouth, her eyes showing a sense of satisfaction. She gazed at the delicacies on the table, saying softly:
"You are truly rare... both your cooking and you as a person."
Eliette snapped out of the mysterious aroma, scooped a bowl of chicken soup, and took a sip. As an Ark Aeldari, she usually couldn't eat food that was too oily or high in salt. But the taste of the chicken soup made her eyes light up:
"This chicken soup tastes very good."
And in the corner, that faint, lingering sweet scent still existed in the air. Eliette was thoughtful. Although she temporarily suppressed her doubts, a faint suspicion subtly arose in her heart. She looked at Li Feng and Celestine, who was devouring her food... And Li Feng also said at this moment: "Tomorrow we will set off for Gravelax, so let's have a good meal today."
