Volume 2, Chapter 7 – My Meat, Not Tasty? Enmm, My Cooking Skills Aren’t Great.

After catching the scent of Bai Lianyue on the meat, Ailiya immediately shot a sharp glare toward her.

“Mom, what kind of meat is this?”

The silver-haired girl’s tone was deadly serious.

Over the years, Ailiya and her sisters had two main sources of food. For vegetables and fruits, they primarily relied on what grew directly from Bai Lianyue’s body. The Terran Malevolence believed this was the best way to provide fresh produce for her children.

After all, the desolate lands within the Veiled Domain couldn’t sustain crops, and transporting them from the outside world was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often resulted in spoilage.

Since the fruits and vegetables grew from Bai Lianyue’s body, it made sense that they carried a hint of her scent.

But meat was different.

The meat the sisters ate mainly came from frozen supplies secretly delivered by their older sister, Yelena, from the human world. How could frozen meat possibly carry Lianyue’s scent?

Not only did it carry her scent, but the intensity of it was even stronger than in the vegetables! It was almost as strong as the scent of Lianyue’s milk!

Upon realizing this, a bold guess formed in Ailiya’s mind.

“Mom, this… this isn’t… your meat, is it?”

Staring into Bai Lianyue’s eyes, Ailiya asked with a trembling voice.

Hearing this,

Bai Lianyue, who had been wearing an expectant smile, froze. Then, the Terran Malevolence slowly averted her gaze, no longer daring to meet Ailiya’s eyes.

“Uh, n-no… it’s, it’s beef… yeah, beef.”

Bai Lianyue hugged the plate to cover her mouth, speaking shyly and haltingly.

Miss Bai Lianyue always thought she was good at pretending.

In reality, her acting skills were abysmally bad.

Thus,

Seeing her so visibly guilty, Ailiya confirmed her suspicions.

“What beef?! This is clearly your meat!”

With that,

Ailiya quickly left the table and walked straight up to Bai Lianyue.

Over the years, thanks to the abundant nutrition provided by the Terran Malevolence, little Ailiya had grown from a one-meter-tall child into a tall, beautiful young woman standing at 1.75 meters.

When she stood in front of Bai Lianyue, who was only 1.65 meters tall, she inadvertently imposed a complex sense of pressure on the Terran Malevolence.

“Mom, why are you suddenly feeding me your meat?”

Faced with Bai Lianyue’s uncharacteristic behavior, Ailiya asked sternly.

“I-I had no choice… the other meat in the fridge ran out.”

“But there’s plenty of meat in the basement fridge, isn’t there? …Tell me the truth!”

Ailiya crossed her arms, putting on an intimidating stance.

“Or I’ll get angry.”

“Uh.”

Realizing she couldn’t hide it anymore, Miss Bai Lianyue pouted and reluctantly nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“Huh?”

“I’m asking, why are you using your own meat to cook? Mom, what are you trying to do?”

Although Lianyue was often clueless, Ailiya was certain she wouldn’t do something so bizarre without a reason. Using her own flesh to cook for Ailiya definitely had some purpose behind it.

In the past, Ailiya might have turned a blind eye to Bai Lianyue’s antics. But this time, she decided to get to the bottom of it. After all, a faint sense of unease had begun to creep into her heart.

Faced with Ailiya’s aggressive questioning, Bai Lianyue, who was clearly outmatched in terms of presence, had no choice but to honestly explain her intentions.

“Don’t you want to reclaim your mother’s power?”

“My mother’s power?”

“Yes, your mother Lianna’s power. Ailiya, you remember, right? Most of your mother’s Augury Force is still inside me.”

“*Gulp*……”

Narrowing her eyes, the silver-haired girl swallowed hard:

“Mom, are you feeding me your meat to return the Augury Force to me?”

“Mhm.”

Bai Lianyue quickly nodded.

Having a smart daughter was great—she understood right away.

Of course, Bai Lianyue wasn’t just planning to give Ailiya the Augury Force. Ailiya was, after all, the purest Divine-Graced Maiden Bai Lianyue had ever seen, with a concentration of Augury Force no weaker than Xing Wu’s in her prime.

If that was the case, Bai Lianyue believed Ailiya could also control the cursed energy.

Thus, Bai Lianyue also planned to gradually transfer her own Malevolence power to Ailiya.

Her own condition was deteriorating rapidly.

Who knew how long her consciousness could last?

Since it was inevitable that she would eventually lose her sanity and become a monster, it was better to give as much of her power to Ailiya as possible before that happened. This would not only strengthen her daughter but also weaken herself significantly. By the time she fully lost control, Ailiya, with complete Augury Force and a portion of Malevolence power, would have the ability to end her life and prevent a catastrophe.

As for her own desires for revenge…………………

If there was a chance, Bai Lianyue naturally wanted to vent them.

But if it wasn’t possible…………… she could only trust Yelena and the others to guide Ailiya in eliminating those tumors…………

Of course, that was all for later.

Reаԁ оո ΚаtReaԁіոgСafе

Right now, the most important thing for Bai Lianyue was to return the complete Augury Force to Ailiya.

“Take back what’s rightfully yours…………………

As she spoke with a gentle smile, the Terran Malevolence slowly raised the bowl of still-steaming meat stew.

“This way, Ailiya, you can…………………

However,

Before Bai Lianyue could finish, Ailiya’s furious roar echoed through the room.

—“No!!”

??

Huh?

Looking at Ailiya, who was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling, and clearly seething with anger, Miss Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion.

“Ailiya, why not give it a try? Don’t worry, it tastes good. I’m quite confident in the flavor of my own body, so just try…………………

“That’s not the issue, okay?! I said I won’t eat this!”

After sternly emphasizing her point, Ailiya, her emotions in turmoil, bit her lip and abruptly turned to leave the kitchen.

“Thud!!”

With the sound of the door slamming shut, Ailiya left the room without looking back.

Leaving the Terran Malevolence standing there, utterly baffled.

“Huh? Wh-why??”

Bai Lianyue blinked in confusion at Ailiya’s reaction.

Clearly,

This was far from the scene she had envisioned.

Rеaⅾ on КαtRеαԁіոɡСafe

Didn’t Ailiya, back when she made her wish, ultimately aim to buy time to grow stronger?

Now, the opportunity to become stronger was right in front of her.

Not only could she grow stronger, but she could also free herself from Bai Lianyue’s “control.”

So why was the girl so upset?

The more Bai Lianyue thought about it, the more confused she became. In fact, as her thoughts continued, her CPU seemed to overload. Wisps of black smoke began to rise from her head, and the bell peppers that had grown earlier withered at a visible rate.

“Enmm, why is that? ………………… Huh? Could it be?”

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in the Terran Malevolence’s mind. She slowly looked down at the meat stew she was holding.

The next moment,

Picking up a spoon, Bai Lianyue took a bite of the meat. As she carefully chewed and savored it, she finally understood the reason behind Ailiya’s reaction.

Of course,

There were still traces of cursed energy in the meat…………………

Sigh,

No wonder the girl refused to eat it and got so angry. Divine-Graced Maidens are naturally sensitive to cursed energy. After sensing it in the food, she probably thought I was trying to harm her…………… That’s why she reacted so strongly.

Sigh, it’s all my fault. I was in too much of a hurry earlier and didn’t thoroughly remove the cursed energy.

Thinking this, Bai Lianyue sighed in resignation. However, she wasn’t about to give up. Instead, she gave herself a mental pep talk.

It’s fine,

I’ll just note this failure in my little book and do better next time~

After pumping herself up with a fist pump, the bandages on Bai Lianyue’s left arm suddenly split open. The arm, now composed of black liquid, twisted and transformed into tw

o dragon heads…………… Embracing the noble principle of not wasting food, they proceeded to devour the remaining failed dish in the bowl and pot.

Of course, they ate the bowl and pot too…………………
