Chapter 84 Zeref's Special Hobby
In the spacious and bright hall, a male with long blue hair was leaning lazily on an armchair, his deep silver eyes looking at the petite female in front of him.

Ophelia looked at Maya, and seeing that the other party had no other reaction, she told him her purpose.

"I came here this time to find someone who can build a three-story stone house."

"A male who can build a three-story stone house will ask for quite a bit of compensation. At least one crystal is required. If your request is more complicated, you might even ask for two or three."

Moye inexplicably felt that Ophelia, the little female, was a bit of a spendthrift.

Ophelia nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, City Lord. Since I dare to come here, it means I have made sufficient preparations."

"I still have a few orange crystals, which should be enough to pay the reward."

Maya raised an eyebrow, seeming a little surprised by her answer.

He said thoughtfully, "It seems that White Tiger King Klein is quite generous to you. He paid you a lot of crystals in advance."

Klein was the mine owner and he had frequent dealings with the other party. The other party was a profit-driven person and would never do business at a loss.

Ophelia lifted her hair and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

There was no other way but to let Klein take the blame. After all, he was the mine owner, and he was the richest person she knew.

"Since you have the orange crystal, things will be easy. However, this male who can build a three-story stone house has a bit of a strange temper, and the reward alone is not enough."

"Then what else does he need?" Ophelia was a little worried, not wanting her dream of a small western-style house to be shattered.

Maya chuckled at her nervousness, "He has a special hobby of eating delicious food. If your partner can make food that satisfies him, maybe he will agree to help you build a stone house."

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she is not good at cooking, she can still stir-fry a few simple dishes.

What's more, there are vegetables and green peppers in her space, so the dishes she makes will definitely be much more delicious than the only barbecue in the Beast World.

"Okay, I want to give it a try."

"My tribe is a bit far from Wanshou City. Can I do it here?"

Maya looked at her young master, and seeing that he had no objection, she readily agreed.

"Of course, there are plenty of ingredients in the kitchen for you to use."

This "kitchen" was built after Zeref came to the City of Beasts, because he has an extremely picky taste and likes to eat delicious food, and he makes people think about strange foods all day long.

Maya personally brought Ophelia and Taylor to the kitchen.

It’s more like an empty room with two stone pots and a table than a kitchen.

But when she looked closer, Ophelia discovered that this kitchen was a different world.

This stone pot is more like a simplified version of a country earthen stove, with a special place for burning fire underneath, and the pot body and the stove are separate, making it convenient to take out and wash the pot.

"Why is this stone pot different from the normal ones?" She seriously suspected that there were other 'travelers' who came to this beast world.

Maya disagreed, "This stove is not common here, but it is a must-have in every household in Shengdu."

Holy city?

This was the first time Ophelia heard the name.

"The Holy City is the gathering place of all the major families in the Starfall Continent. It is even more powerful than the Myriad Beasts City. All of our cities are under the management of the Holy City."

"Master Zeref is the equivalent of the tribe's young chief, but in the Holy City they all call you Master, Princess, Master, and Madam."

Ophelia understood that the Holy City was equivalent to the capital of the Starfall Continent.

According to Maya's description, in addition to tribes, there are also higher-level groups, namely major families, which are a bit like the ancient princes.

It turns out that their Golden Dragon Clan is just a little Kurami.

No wonder her man named Zeref has such an extraordinary temperament. He has the noble temperament of a young master.

"Okay, you can use whatever you want on this table."

"Okay, thank you, Lord Maya."

"No, I'll leave first and not disturb you." After he left, Ophelia walked to the table to check the ingredients on it. This look made her discover a lot of new things.

Cucumbers, eggplants, eggs, rice and some strange berries she had never seen before.

She picked up a purple berry and put it to her nose and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.

She was about to take a bite to taste it, but was stopped by Taylor next to her.

"This is a sour berry. It doesn't smell good, but the juice that comes out when you break it open is very sour and can't be eaten."

"acid?"

Ophelia's eyes lit up. "That's just natural vinegar."

She looked at the colorful berries with even more enthusiasm. While no one was around, she secretly picked one of each and put it into her space to study slowly later.

After checking it out, Ophelia decided to make some spicy and sour cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork with potatoes, and a refreshing side dish of smashed cucumber.

Pork belly, potatoes, and eggs are all ready.

Cabbage and tomatoes come from the farm space.

As for the sugar used for braised pork, it is the brown sugar made from sugarcane. Although it is not rock sugar, the taste is almost the same and it is better than nothing.

Taylor washed his hands, "Princess, let me do it."

It’s not that he wanted to steal the job, it’s just that he had never seen the princess cook.

"No, you wash the vegetables and help me prepare the food while I steam the rice."

It would be a shame to have braised pork and tomato and egg without some white rice.

An hour later, four dishes and a meal were served on the table, and the male who could build a three-story stone house was also invited by Maya.

"Lord Maya, I've left a portion of each in the kitchen so you and Master Zeref can try my cooking."

Maya couldn't help but sniff as she smelled the aroma of meat and the sour and spicy aroma of vegetables in the air.

"..." Zeref looked at Maya's ignorant look and glanced at her coldly.

Maya immediately sat up straight and said, "Okay, we'll go out first, you guys chat slowly."

"Ah."

Ophelia turned her head and saw that the male named Samoyed had already started eating.

Chopsticks were not yet common in the animal world, so Satsuma grabbed the food with his hands.

A black hand stained with oil and vegetable juice made her think of a certain place.

Seeing him eating happily, Ophelia knew that the matter was done.

On the other side, the dining room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Zeref sat in a chair and looked at the dishes of different flavors on the table.

Maya respectfully handed over a pair of white jade chopsticks, "Master, please enjoy your meal."

Zeref took it and slowly picked up the square-cut braised pork. The taste was sweet but not greasy.

Then there are cucumbers, which are sour and delicious and very appetizing.

Zeref's serious expression gradually relaxed, and Maya beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

About twenty minutes later, all the food on the table was gone.

Maya held a clean white animal hide in her hands, "How does it taste, Master?"

"That's fine. Let her cook for me while I'm in Wanshou City."

Maya, "This..."

His silver eyes narrowed slightly, "What's the problem?"
