Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 85: I Created the Food Spirit!

Watching the two Spiritual Beasts enjoying their meal with delighted expressions, Chen Mo’s heart filled with joy too.

"I’ve decided, starting today, let’s add an afternoon snack session!"

"Chirp!" (Yay!)

"Whoo—"

"Guys, didn’t I tell you! Follow me, I’ll let you taste all the delicacies of the human world!"

"Whoo~"

Xinghai nodded vigorously.

For the following week, aside from going on missions, Chen Mo made it a point to check in every day with Head Chef Yu Tao.

Yu Tao didn’t mind either.

After all, getting to freeload some rare ingredients every day wasn’t bad at all, and more importantly, he saw his younger self in Chen Mo.

This kid, he seemed quite persistent when it came to cooking.

Watching Chen Mo focused on studying recipes every day, both Blazing Flame Fox and Isolated Island Spirit felt doubly relieved and happy.

As Chen Mo’s Spiritual Beasts, they were truly lucky.

Over the weekend, when Chen Mo finished making today’s delicacy, Lotus Seed Paste Pastry, and fed it to Xiao Jiu, the [Pastry Master] challenge was finally complete!

Wednesday and Thursday, because of missions, he hadn’t made pastries for two days.

Fortunately, he still managed to complete the challenge without any mishaps!

Chen Mo didn’t hesitate and equipped himself first.

In an instant, countless knowledge about making pastries flooded his mind.

In a moment, Chen Mo felt a newfound familiarity and closeness with all the various kitchen utensils. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"This infusion of knowledge is somewhat similar to the Fishing Master, and I’d probably forget it all in an instant if I took off the equipment. Never mind that, let’s practice first."

Equipped as a [Pastry Master], Chen Mo was eager to try. He glanced at the remaining ingredients, preparing to make a Glutinous Rice Dumpling.

"So today, let’s add a dessert to your meal!"

"Chirp!" (Long live extra meals!)

Excitement shone in the eyes of Blazing Flame Fox, its tail began to wag uncontrollably.

"Master Yu, I’d like to practice on my own for a while longer, could you ask Jiji to help me?"

"No problem, just don’t forget to give the little guy some handiwork fees."

Yu Tao chuckled, then returned to the living room to watch TV.

The so-called "handiwork fees" were actually the food made by Chen Mo.

"No problem! As long as Jiji doesn’t mind!"

White jade rice flour, pearl corn flour, white sugar, moo-moo milk...

After equipping [Pastry Master], Chen Mo didn’t need a digital scale’s help; his control over the ingredient portions was impeccable.

After mixing the different ingredients, Chen Mo stirred and filtered them, then put them in the steamer.

After steaming for 20 minutes, a large dough initially took shape.

"Jiji, could you please release a smooth texture?"

"Ji~"

Then came constant kneading.

Equipped with [Pastry Master], Chen Mo’s dough kneading technique became exceptionally skilled, like that of an experienced old master.

Finally, after adding yoghurt, red bean paste, and other different fillings and wrapping them up.

Soon, a plump, white yoghurt-flavored Glutinous Rice Dumpling was successfully made!

However, just as Chen Mo was about to make the second Glutinous Rice Dumpling, he was surprised to find that the first one he made emitted a dazzling white light.

He instinctively covered his eyes with his hands.

"Ying~"

After the white light dissipated, a round, white Spiritual Beast appeared in front of Chen Mo. The little guy had large eyes with black pupils.

Its overall appearance was somewhat similar to a furred creature Chen Mo had seen in an anime from his previous life, "The Morose Mononokean," except it had no fur at all, being very smooth, soft, and delicate.

At that moment, the little creature looked at Chen Mo with an innocent gaze. It emitted a scent of glutinous rice, making one irresistibly want to take a sniff.

Chen Mo’s eyes shone with surprise.

The food he made... gave birth to a Food Spirit!?

And the Food Spirit right before his eyes is... the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit!

This was completely unexpected to Chen Mo; he did not think that the very first food created with the [Pastry Master] equipment would give birth to a Food Spirit!

"Ying~" (Daddy~)

The little one called out with a milky voice.

With his talent for understanding beast language, Chen Mo understood and was immediately stunned.

Just... quite sudden.

However, it was indeed him who created the Glutinous Rice Dumpling, so it calling him "Daddy" isn’t wrong at all.

"Ji!"

At this moment, the Honey Chicken Spirit came over, waved its chicken claws as a greeting to this newly born spirit of food.

But the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit, as if frightened, pounced into Chen Mo’s arms and buried itself there.

"Jiji, sorry, the little one is just born, might still be a bit shy."

"Ji!"

The Honey Chicken Spirit waved its claws, indicating it didn’t mind, then fluttered its wings and left the kitchen.

"The newly born Food Spirit seems to be a bit timid, or should I say socially anxious?"

Chen Mo silently thought to himself.

It took a while before the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit dared to poke its head out, then issued a soft cooing sound.

"Ying~"

"Jiu???"

"Wu???"

The Blazing Flame Fox and the Isolated Island Spirit in transformed state heard the noise, then ran into the kitchen, only to be stunned.

Today’s dessert is gone!? Instead, it turned into this little guy!?

"Ying~"

After the Honey Chicken Spirit left, the newly born little one leaped from Chen Mo’s arms to the front of the Glutinous Rice Dumpling that birthed it, then opened its mouth and started munching happily.

A food type Spiritual Beast will eat its original food upon birth, just like how a western dragon will eat its own eggshell.

This is normal.

But the problem is, other food type Spiritual Beasts consume the spiritual energy of the food, not eating it bite by bite like this!

"Ying~"

After finishing the Glutinous Rice Dumpling, the little one burped contentedly, then looked up at Chen Mo with innocent eyes.

Its body was slightly glowing, and its aura had also grown a bit stronger.

It must have increased its Level after eating its original food.

The Glutinous Rice Dumpling appears shy, but isn’t frightened of Chen Mo at all, taking another flying leap into his arms, then rubbed its body against Chen Mo’s cheek.

Food Spirits have a natural fondness for the Spirit Chef who created them.

"So cute."

The touch of the Glutinous Rice Dumpling was soft and springy, Chen Mo couldn’t help but stroke it.

"Little one, since your original food is Glutinous Rice Dumpling, and you’re so adorably round, from now on, I’ll call you Tuantuan."

Following the tradition of being "terrible with names," Chen Mo gave the Glutinous Rice Dumpling its name.

"Ying!"

Tuantuan rubbed against Chen Mo’s cheek again, showing its fondness for the name, then let out another soft coo.

"Ying~" (Want more~)

Chen Mo, with his talent in beast language, understood Tuantuan’s meaning.

"Jiu?"

The Blazing Flame Fox tilted its head, narrowing its eyes.

This little guy is really something!
