Chapter 118
Just
as Ewan said, his mother had a good impression of Nyx, and as a result, she was very interested in the food Nyx provided.
Seeing that the matron was actually eager to try it, Ewan’s father didn’t know what to do. He gave Ewan a look, hoping he would talk her out of it.

Ewan, however, pretended not to notice his father’s hint and eagerly rolled up his sleeves, running to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
The promotional video had actually recommended ingredients that Beastmen didn’t typically eat. Ewan didn’t have all those ingredients at home, and he didn’t dare serve his mother anything too unusual.
Female Beastmen were very particular about their food. If it weren’t for the fact that this packet was associated with Nyx and sold under the Sea Race Group, Ewan wouldn’t even have dared bring it to his mother. “Mother, be careful, it’s hot.”
Following the instructions from the promotional video, he arranged the ingredients in front of his mother, serving her water and wiping her hands. Ewan’s mother eagerly watched. The fondue’s aroma filled the air. Ewan’s mother frowned slightly. Immediately, Ewan’s father became nervous, not knowing what to do.
He knew this stuff was definitely unreliable. The matron almost choked on the smell. And the exaggerated amount of cheese in the pot was terrifying. It looked unedible to him.
The males could eat it just fine–after all, their bodies were strong, and it wouldn’t kill them. But if a female ate it, she could end up in the hospital.
“Matron,” Ewan’s father to speak, wanting to stop her.
But Ewan’s mother rubbed her eyes and shook her head. “I’m fine.”
After getting used to it, the scent smelled really good, something more intense than she’d ever smelled before. She couldn’t resist inhaling deeply, savoring the aroma.
Receiving his mother’s signal, Ewan quickly and skillfully started to cut the ingredients. After dipping them into the fondue, they were immediately coated with thick and smooth cheese.
As a female who had never handled food directly before, Ewan’s mother had never seen this up close. It felt magical, and she couldn’t take her eyes off it. As soon as Ewan took them out, she eagerly looked at Ewan.
“Wait, Mother; it’s still too hot,” Ewan reminded her.
Knowing everyone had different tastes, Nyx had prepared all sorts of ingredients. Bread, fruits, sausages, and so on.
The promotional video mentioned a recommended combination that Nyx remembered was the most popular on Earth. Though it wasn’t quite to her personal taste, it should suit a lot of people.
Ewan’s mother indeed liked this combination. The moment the cheese touched the sausages, brightness. It smelled wonderful.
her eyes lit up with intense
It was an indescribable complex fragrance that hit the top of her head. Nyx hadn’t dared to make the base too rich; on Earth, this was just a mild level of cheesiness.
But for a female eating fondue for the first time, she clearly couldn’t handle it. Her tongue felt overwhelmed, and she couldn’t help but shiver, quickly drinking a large gulp of her drink.
Seeing her reaction, Ewan and his father exchanged worried glances, both in a bit of a panic. ‘Is it not tasty?‘ they thought.

Feeling helpless, Ewan didn’t dare offer his mother a second piece of sausage.
“Quick,” his mother, regaining her senses, urged him. “I want more.”
“Ah? Oh, okay!” Ewan jolted, his mood lifting.
A cup of drink quickly went down. The taste slowly grew on her, and she couldn’t stop eating.
Ewan’s father, who was serving her, could only keep refilling her drink. Whether the fondue was good or not, whether she liked it or not, didn’t need to be explained with words anymore.
Ewan’s father was dumbfounded. He wondered, ‘Is it really that good?‘
The matron’s performance was almost unbelievable. Those ingredients, barely touched, were thrown into the pot and seemed to transform into some kind of divine delicacy, making her eyes shine.
Watching the matron let out a satisfied burp, still wanting to continue eating, Ewan’s father couldn’t take it anymore.
He cautiously spoke, “Matron, let’s stop here for today. If you like it, we can have it often.”
The matron had never had such an appetite. It was good to eat more, but considering her health, she couldn’t overeat or she’d make herself sick.
Ewan’s mother listened to his advice and, after two more bites, ungracefully leaned back in her chair, rubbing her swollen belly with a satisfied look on her face.
Actually, she was still a bit unsatisfied. But she was already so full, she couldn’t eat more.
She was afraid that if she stayed and kept smelling the delicious aroma, she wouldn’t be able to resist. She quickly got up, waving her hand. “I’m going to rest. You guys finish the rest.”
Ewan had already planned ahead, preparing a lot of ingredients and bringing his own share out. After waiting for so long, his mouth was practically watering. Finally, it was his turn to taste it.
He plopped down, rolled up his sleeves, and casually said, “Father, do you want to have some?”
He thought his father would surely refuse, given how dismissive he was about the sauce packets. He had prepared to eat the leftover food all by himself, but was shocked to see his father sit down.
Ewan’s father seemed to be a little embarrassed by his own contradictions. But seeing how much the matron liked it, he couldn’t help being curious. After smelling the increasingly pleasant scent for a while, he couldn’t resist.
As soon as he sat down, his movements were even faster than Ewan’s, quickly dipping several slices of meat into the pot.
Ewan was shocked, not willing to be outdone, and started moving quickly as well.
With another adult male joining in with an impressive appetite, the ingredients that would have been enough for a meal quickly became insufficient.
The father and son had no concept of sharing, and unlike the females who were cautious about food, once they started `competing for food, they didn’t care for manners at all.
“Father, don’t you prefer drinking nutritional supplements? This awful food should be for me, not you,” Ewan couldn’t help but tease his father.
His father’s face turned red, but his hands didn’t stop, nor did his mouth, seemingly too busy to answer Ewan’s question. Before he knew it, Ewan’s father had scooped all the meat out of the pot, leaving Ewan angrily yelling.^

To make matters worse, other males in the house had returned one after another, drawn by the smell, surrounding the table like a pack of starving wolves with hungry eyes.
“What’s that smell?”
“I’m starving, hurry up and give me a bite!”
“Where did you guys get such good stuff?”
“Move over, hurry!”
“How is there only this much left? Are we out of food?”
The males, who usually relied on nutritional supplements, rarely tried natural food and were typically not interested in this inefficient way of eating. They weren’t particularly picky and had grown used to their daily diet of nutritional supplements. But today, the smell was so good that they couldn’t stand being left out by the father and son eating in secret.
“Has the matron eaten yet?” After confirming that the only female in the house had finished her meal, the males rushed in, filling the table in an instant.
The small amount of food on the table suddenly seemed pitifully little, and in no time, they had devoured They had to take turns preparing new ingredients while eating.
The ingredients at home were originally meant for the female, not enough to serve them all. Soon, the stock was running low. The males felt like they had only sampled a bit and weren’t satisfied, so they discussed ordering more ingredients.
“Who made this soup? Was it Ewan? Or was it Ewan’s father? When did these two learn to cook like this?” some
Ewan proudly placed his hands on his hips. “It’s me. I bought the fondue.”
After focusing on eating, the males finally realized what they had been eating.
asked.
Such a delicious dish, and it didn’t require all the complicated steps they had imagined. Just using the pre–made package, they could start dipping various ingredients into the pot.
“Fondue? Is it the one from Nyx?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Let’s buy more, let’s buy more.”
The males immediately opened their Intelligent Brains, with even Ewan’s father quietly checking. Unexpectedly, once they looked, everyone was shocked.
