Chapter 651: Chapter 651: An intense battle and a warm figh
Suddenly, the two yelled out loud at the same time .
“Twelve!”
“Nine!”
The two shouted out loud the number of dishes they served up . Wu Yan gave Asuna a smug look while Asuna pouted in frustration .
“Hmph . ”
Asuna snorted and she protested .
“The number of dishes isn’t a deciding factor in this duel, the taste of the food should decide the winner!”
“Well, I wouldn’t put it like that…”
Wu Yan didn’t want her to let Asuna play down his achievement like that .
“The number of food matters because if you can’t even satisfy basic hunger, the food’s tastiness will find its l.u.s.ter marred . Don’t forget, food is to fill your stomach . ”
“You just cooked three more dishes than me, what’s the big deal?”
“It proves I just won!”
“Nope! There’s still the taste element!”
“Fine, I win one round then!”
“You… Okay, but I am going to be the ultimate victor!”
“Hah! I won one round, I sure as heck can win one more!
“I am going to put a stop to your haughty att.i.tude!”
“Oh, really? I am going to make you surrender!”
“…”
“…”
After briefly exchanging more verbal attacks, the two stopped leering at each other . Instead, one could vaguely make out flames in the background as the two were on the verge of exploding .
“Well then, here’s mine!”
Asuna presented her nine dishes and she laid them in front of Wu Yan . She glared at him .
“By the way, you better make sure you’re impartial, buster . If I think you’re biased then I am going to get angry…”
Wu Yan rolled his eyes at her .
“Do I look that petty to you?”
“I guess it’s anyone guess…”
Asuna pa.s.sed him a set of utensils . Wu Yan sat on the chair and he silently praised the aesthetic and smells coming from the food on top of the table . Her food looked very appetizing indeed .
He stabbed his knife into a piece of meat dripping with alluring juices . Wu Yan took a look at it and then he sampled it by putting it in his mouth . He closed his eyes to better a.s.sess the food’s taste .
Asuna looked a bit nervous . She’s surprised with herself, what in the world is she anxious about?
Wait, do I actually care very much what he thinks?
No, that’s not right . I am just anxious about the result . Yeah, that’s right…
Wu Yan gulped and he looked at the food with a look of surprise .
“H-how is it?”
Asuna stuttered as she held her breath .
“It’s way tastier than I had antic.i.p.ated . ”
“R-really?”
Asuna beamed widely . She released a sigh of relief and she stopped herself when she sensed that she’s reacting too much .
Wu Yan gave her dishes another try and he continued praising her .
“Yes, this tastes good as well . What paste did you use? This is divine!”
“It’s-a-secret~”
Asuna teased him .
“I made the paste myself, you won’t find it anywhere else . Oh, you’re the first one to taste this besides me . Feeling proud yet?”
“Sure sure…”
Wu Yan ignored her and he tasted her other dishes .
“Well, I can admit that you are adept at cooking, but, I think the material’s quality affected the outcome…”
“Rare materials have a base parameter, my concentrated effort enhanced that . ”
Asuna didn’t deny his claim . Rare food materials are very expensive, she could only get her hands on them once in a blue moon . Forget making all nine dishes with rare materials, that’s just a pipe dream .
She sat in front of Wu Yan while he sampled her food . Her expression mellowed out . She supported her chin with both her hands and she floated a smile . Her heart slowly melted as she watched Wu Yan eating her food .
After a while, Wu Yan finished all 9 dishes . Asuna didn’t hide her radiant smile, she looked like a bright bulb right now .
