A dark, murderous aura, enveloped by mental energy, pressed down on Cage's head. Originally somewhat unwilling and attempting to provoke Professor He, he immediately knelt down with a thud.

"Ming, I understand."

Large beads of sweat dripped directly onto the smooth ground, reflecting his distorted and repulsive eyes. He was determined to avenge the humiliation he had suffered today.

"If you understand, then get lost."

After Cage slunk away, Gu Luobing finally looked up and seriously examined Lu Yulan, the culinary arts teacher her father had specially invited.

It seems her father wasn't completely oblivious; at least he hired a good teacher.

"Alright, now that the eyesore is gone, Teacher Lu, can you tell me what these Four Happiness Meatballs are made of?"

Professor He, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes upon hearing this, his mouth still full of four-happiness meatballs, chewing them rhythmically from left to right.

"Isn't this the Little Red and Little Green?!"

"Of course not. This is made from the back meat of a fifth-tier beast and some first-tier beast meat, with some spices added."

Meat of a strange beast?

Gu Luobing muttered those three words to herself, then couldn't help but look up at Lu Yulan, who was gently serving food to her little pet, seemingly unaware of the magical effects of the exotic beast meat.

After all, if such a thing were developed and presented to the people of the empire, it would naturally allow the empire's military strength to reach a new peak.

"You're really amazing. You actually thought of using the meat of exotic beasts to make food. Your way of thinking is extraordinary. You're good at exploring paths that no one has ever taken before."

Professor He, after eating a meatball, praised Lu Yulan. He could tell that his wife liked this girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately warned Cage.

After speaking, Professor He himself paused, wondering if it was a way of thinking or a path he had never walked before.

So, have I reached a stalemate, or a dead end, and how can I guide the energy from other angles?

For a moment, Professor He seemed to have a lot of inspiration flashing through his mind, and his eyes were very excited.

He stood up abruptly and went to Lu Yulan. He wanted to shake her hand to express his gratitude, but then he remembered that she was a girl, so he took a step back and bowed 90 degrees to Lu Yulan.

"Thank you, Bing'er. I have a new idea. I'll go back to the lab now. Don't bother me for the next few days."

He left in a hurry, and Gu Luobing wasn't surprised. Anyway, that was exactly what he meant. When he was dating her back then, he would get inspired and start drawing and writing, completely forgetting that she was there.

Seeing that Lu Yulan and the others were still in shock from their lover's behavior, Gu Luobing laughed and said, "That's just how he is, you don't need to mind him."

"Let's eat then, Professor Gu, please."

"Don't be shy. I'm only a year or two older than you. You can call me 'older sister.' I helped you get rid of that nasty guy, Cage. Just eat whatever you like; that's enough to thank me."

As she spoke, she winked at Wei Guang and Chu Rui, but unfortunately, both of them were too dense to notice. Only Chi Huo blushed instantly, which was quite amusing.

At the dinner table, they didn't remain silent while eating. Gu Luobing would ask some questions about the food, and Lu Yulan would answer them one by one.

However, when it comes to mythical beasts, Lu Yulan is also unable to give Gu Luobing a reasonable explanation.

After all, food isn't exactly a science, and over-refining it can actually diminish its charm.
