I’ll cook you something good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s face instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master! Finally! I’m so tired of chewing those hard pieces of meat every day. Cook me something delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled, walking ahead with his hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two entered the restaurant area, and Garion’s eyes sparked as he stepped behind the counter, entering the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place looked almost identical to the one he had back on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he just stood there in silence, a small grin forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was indeed... feels like home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began checking the drawers and shelves, nodding in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect setup. System really knows my style.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia leaned against the counter, watching him with curious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, although I am looking forward to what you’re cooking, can you really cook?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t underestimate me. As a body cultivator, I always watch what I eat, so cooking was already a natural part of my routine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then raised his finger, reminding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I’m not as good as those professional chefs, I know my way around a kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rested her chin on her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then hurry up. I want to see if your cooking is as good as your training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed, waving his hand casually as he opened the system menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. Just wait there. And now let’s see what ingredients I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several items appeared on the screen and each one had a faint tag floating beside it, describing teh taste and effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now this is what I call convenient. System ingredients with built-in nifo. Guess I can’t mess this up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his chin, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, what should I make? Something warm and rich after days in teh forest, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something soft, please. If I have to chew another tough beef steak, I’ll scream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion Laguedh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soft, delicious, and full of protein. Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled up his sleeves and cracked his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let me show you some real food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia rested her chin on her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll believe it when I taste it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll eat your words soon enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took some ingredients from his system storage and placed them all onto the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a cut of Thunder Boar meat, still fresh and marbled with faint blue lines of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of Fireleaf herbs, known for their spicy aroma, and some Moon carrots, glowing faintly white, and a few Rock onions with thick, crunchy layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia leaned in, quite curious about the strange ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master... are you sure all of this is edible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been eating dried monster jerky for days. Trust me on this one. This is what I call gourmet food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed a knife and started cutting the meat into even slices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia watched the steady, precise movement of the knife, which made her quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re actually... good at that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion didn’t look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, I used to cook for myself all the time. A strong body starts in the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah,\" she muttered, rolling her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished slicing the meat, then chopped the vegetables quickly, filling the kitchen with their mixed scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lit the stove and poured a little oil into the pan, and as soon as it heated, he dropped in the meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sizzling sound filled the air, followed by a savory smell that made Dahlia’s stomach rumble audibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hungry already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn’t! That was just... uh, air.\" Dahlia snorted, cheeks flashing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion continued to chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure it was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flipped the meat expertly, then added the chopped onions and carrots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colors mixed beautifully, orange, white, and brown, coated with oil and meat juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached for a small bowl and poured in a mix of crushed Fireleaf, a pinch of Saltstone dust, and a dash of river honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sauce bubbled, then turned golden-red as it thickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia sniffed the air again, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That smells amazing. What’s that sauce called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secret recipe. Only shared loyal disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted. \"So never, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the pan a final toss, then turned off the stove and plated the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was mouthwatering but straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tender Thunder Boar slices in sweet and spicy sauce, with roasted vegetables shining beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slid one plate toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, test subject number one. Eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia hesitated only for a second before taking a bite. Her eyes widened almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... wow. It’s soft, juicy, and... it’s actually fucking delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion folded his arms proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Told you. It was the real gourmet food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, still chewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You win, Master. This is the best thing I’ve eaten since coming to this island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Because tomorrow, we’re doing double training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia froze mid-bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I take back what I said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed, directly changing the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you finish eating, follow me outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... what? You just said tomorrow! How can you change your mind that fast?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his hand calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. It’s not training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what? Fighting more demonic beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. Nothing like that. It’s not related to training or fighting at all. Don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned, suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why outside? Why not here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stood up, brushing off his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because it might get a bit messy. I don’t want to dirty my gym right after it was built.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia stared at him for a few seconds, furrowing her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. I still don’t know what you’re planning, Master, but are you really sure it’s not something exhausting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise. It’ll even be interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed and finished her meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. But if this turns into training, I’m throwing rocks at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled, walking toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal. I’ll wait for you outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","49b9f85903c46c45f8d5b358e0186a9766ee78cf620f667d6fc94712d49ed6c3","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-403","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-402",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
