Chapter 156 Dragon Delicacies
"How are you feeling now?"
At Alex's question, Borong smiled, "I'm still feeling weak right now. But this is just temporary. I will get better after a few days."
Borong stretched out his hand and placed it on Alex's shoulder and said, "Really, I can't express my gratitude to you with just words."
Azul and Paula also looked at Alex with eyes filled with gratitude.
This time, Alex just accepted their words without saying anything.
After a while, Borong retracted his hands and said, "Since it can be said that you gave me a second life, I will of course reward you well for that."
Immediately, an expectantly look appeared in Alex's eyes.
Borong snapped his finger and a green colored item the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
A strong fruity and refreshing scent bombarded the place they were in the moment that item appeared.
Sniff~
Involuntarily, Alex took a deep breath to smell it more.
It wasn't just Alex who's like that.
Everyone in the room can't help but take in a few more breaths because of it.
Not bothered by their reactions, Borong said,
"At the moment, this is the most valuable item that I have in me. As thanks for saving me, I will give it to you now."
With a fascinated look, Alex eyed the fruit and asked, "Can you tell me what that is?"
Borong turned his eyes at the item in his hand and smiled, "This thing is called [Golden Apple]."
Hearing that, Alex tilted his head in confusion.
"[Golden Apple]? Why is it called golden when it's clearly green?"
At his words, Borong chuckled, "That was the same thought I had when I first got my hands on this thing."
"However, it didn't take long for me to learn why it is called that."
After saying that, Borong handed the [Golden Apple] to Alex.
"Anyway, you will know why it's called [Golden Apple] when you eat it."
Alex looked into the apple on his hand and thought, 'This thing is the most precious thing he has? He's not fooling me, right?'
Alex glanced at Borong and shook his head.
'Well, coming here has already brought me a lot of benefits. If this thing isn't really a good item, then it doesn't matter.'
With that mindset, Alex accepted the [Golden Apple] with a light heart.
"Then I will take it. Thank you, Mr. Borong."
After saying that, Alex threw the [Golden Apple] into his inventory.
Seeing that, Borong smiled and said, "This is just my token of appreciation, Mr. Zero. As for the real reward, I will give it to you after I fully recover."
Hearing that, of course, Alex is happy.
However, on the outside, Alex just keeps a calm look with a light smile.
"Then I'll thank you in advance for that as well."
Immediately, a savory aroma assaulted everyone's nose.
Sniff~
"Hmm~, this smells so good!"
Glurgh~
As if to agree, Borong's stomach sounded at this time.
Everyone looked at him and lively laughter echoed around the house.
After a while, they turned their attention back to the food on the table.
What they saw was a normal looking steak on the trays.
For a while, Alex, Borong, and Azul looked at the steak before Borong opened his mouth and asked, "My daughter, please explain your dish."
Happily, Paula started talking, "Everyone, what is placed in front of you is the meat of a dragon, tenderized with Golden Mountain Honey, and..."
As they listened to Paula's words, Alex picked up a fork and knife and unhesitantly cut off a small piece.
Immediately, glistening juice oozed out of the cut exuding a greater savory aroma than before!
Because of this, the others weren't able to control themselves anymore and also took a small piece.
At this time, every corner of the whole house has been baptized by the mouthwatering smell of the food.
Alex and along with everybody, raised their hands and took a bite at the meat on their utensils.
Boom!
Juice from the meat exploded into their mouth, filling it umami everywhere!
"Wow, this is so good!"
"This tastes a whole lot better compared to when I ate at Dragon Diner before!"
Alex looked at the steak on his plate with glimmering eyes.
Just like him, when Borong and Azul taated the food, they nodded in approvement.
"It seems like you're skills have improved again, Paula." Borong said.
Azul nodded in agreement, "It really far better than before, Sister!"
Hearing their compliments, Paula looke satisfied.
"It's great that everyone likes it. Then, please continue eating."
Saying that, Paula went to the kitchen and came back carrying more food.
By the way, Paula also gave some food to Ferri and Blaze to their delight.
For a while, the only sound that could be heard inside the house was the sound of them eating.
30 minutes later, Alex leaned back on his seat with a satisfied face.
"Haa~ that was such great food."
On his side, Angelica, Joel, Jojo, and Joey have an equally satisfied expression.
Paula, the one who cooked everything, looked at Alex with a smile and said, "I am glad that the foods I prepared were all able to satisfy you, Mr. Zero."
Alex sat up properly and smiled back ay her, saying, "It was such a satisfying meal, Miss Paula. Thank you very much for letting me taste such delicacies!"
After that, Alex chatted with them a bit more until it's time for them to leave.
Alex got up from his seat and said, "Sir Borong, Miss Paula, and Miss Azul. It's about time for me to leave now."
