Xia Ri found that roasted pig eyes were surprisingly tasty. Placing an entire pig eye in her mouth, Xia Ri bit down, and the black eye fluid and juices burst in her mouth in an overwhelming, stimulating sensation.3

Initially, Xia Ri had been utterly repulsed. But after one bite, she found it unexpectedly acceptable, as though she had stumbled upon the doorway to a new world.0

Beside her, Dark Crow also sampled a few bites and found them quite satisfying. He even threw Xia Ri, the chef, a few approving glances. Lu Ran, however, along with Captain Doofus and Sudden Death King, refused to taste it.5

Dark-attribute Intent inherently didn’t suit Culinary Intent. Dishes cooked using it inevitably became dark cuisine, and even the most normal ingredients would be twisted into bizarre concoctions that only Dark-attribute familiars could stomach.1

It was far less versatile than Flame-type Culinary Intent, which was universally compatible. For ordinary humans, there was no way they could accept the flavor or the inherent intent within such a dish.0

“As long as Dark Crow likes it.” 0

Lu Ran fell into deep thought as he watched Xia Ri and the crow both indulging in the roasted pig eyes. The pairing of a cursed crow with the Eye of the Evil God along with the sanity-draining Dark Cuisine was perfectly aesthetic.0

Moreover, Xia Ri who had initially resisted so strongly, had transformed into a panther girl and was now devouring the food. Clearly, in her fusion state, her taste preferences had aligned with those of her Black Panther familiar.0
