Dexter was quite satisfied with the physique and also the heavenly flames. With them, failing to cook headed meals would be impossible.
In fact, if he knowingly wanted to cook ordinary meals, it would automatically be Arcane meals, making it physically impossible for Dexter to cook ordinary meals.
’Sigh, it’s so lonely at the top.’
As a Great Grandmaster food Amith, barely anyone in the entire Stargate city could rival his cooking ability!
’Maybe I should become a chef and sell my food for money.’
The more he thought about it, the more the idea expanded in his head and he smiled. "Perfect. I will start after the sparring battle."
As for the heavenly flames, he wondered if that’s the reason Selene clung to him. Since it could melt anything in the world, does it mean it could melt the Eternal Winter Ice that was afflicting her?
He would find a time to test this theory. He simply needed to wait for her to come to him. She was like a rabbit after all.
He then began pondering other things.
Why hadn’t he gotten his rewards yet from the system?
But he figured out that probably because the beds hadn’t arrived yet so the system couldn’t calculate his rewards based on what the girls hadn’t seen and reacted to yet.
Dexter returned to his room feeling deeply satisfied. The power coursing through his veins was a constant reminder of how far he had come in such a short time.
However, rather than resting, he immediately sat cross-legged on his airbed and closed his eyes, intending to use the remaining hours of the afternoon to cultivate.
He had barely begun circulating the Limitless Grand Cosmos Scripture when a sudden, sharp warning flared at the back of his mind.
It was his Frost Sense.
Selene.
Her internal cold energy was spiking rapidly which meant she was about to have a seizure.
Dexter’s eyes snapped open instantly. He lunged toward the pile of groceries and supply bags he had left beside his bed, until his fingers closed around the ice-suppressing serum.
Gripping the syringe tightly, Dexter activated Flame Burst.
"BOOM!"
A violent explosion of heat erupted beneath his feet. The air in his small bedroom distorted wildly as his body became a blur of crimson light.
He vanished from his room, leaving behind a scorch mark on the floorboards and a wave of displaced air that sent his bedsheets flying.
The lady’s room was dim as the curtains were half-drawn. The three wives were arranged in a loose circle.
Mira sat in her wheelchair near the bedside, facing the mattress.
Lyra and Selene sat cross-legged on the bed, and resting at the center of their triangle was the massive, dragon-scaled ancient beast egg as they cultivated around it.
"Bam!"
Dexter burst through the girls’ bedroom without knocking.
The sudden commotion drew their attention. Mira cracked one eye open, glanced at him with indifference, and then closed it again, resuming her meditation without a word.
Lyra peered at him curiously through her type 2 AI smart glasses wondering why he came and if he brought something with him.
While Selene simply raised her slender pale arm, presenting it to Dexter.
"I’m sorry for barging in," Dexter said quickly as he stepped toward the bed.
He lined the syringe up against Selene’s exposed wrist and pressed the plunger, injecting the warm, thick serum directly into her bloodstream.
