Millennium Tension

Chapter 134: Cozy Harmony

The process of slowly stripping the outer layer of the Neutron Star is truly calm and peaceful, Aizen and Axel working very carefully to ensure that everything goes normally and goes well as planned.

After six hours passed with normal speed from the Axel Goddess who continued to fire the Super Gravity Beam with a special setup to break down the energy in the outer layer, finally leaving only the inner layer and the core as the next task.

The supermassive Neutron Star twice the size of the sun in Earth's solar system, now that its outer layer has been stripped away and is only the size of the planet Mars. One more layer until they meet Neutron Core, the thing they're looking for.

"Fiuhh... Six hours have passed since we started. Are you all feeling bored?" Aizen wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"No, Master Aizen. We are really paying attention to all the events that just happened. You are indirectly peeling a planet in the form of a star. If the Neutron Star had inhabitants, they would certainly be extinct and that was fully guaranteed." Yifei shook her head.

"Not really, we're not bored. Maybe a little. But we have a system to explore. I've already explored a lot of things I need to know hehe..." Lian giggled lightly.

"Brother Aizen, I'm hungry. We skip breakfast and lunch together. Now I want a warm meal that has just been cooked. I'll help, we will cook and eat together. Can we?" Ana begged while shaking Aizen's hand and holding her belly. She is actually not hungry, just wants to have a good meal together and not a spare meal like yesterday.

"Hmm... We just ate food that was stored and warmed yesterday. Sure, we'll do that. Let's just postpone our task until we eat together. Yifei, Lian, and the five other fairies have never eaten our special dish, right?" Aizen nodded and then got off the sofa bed with the two girls who had been leaning on him from yesterday.

"Let's go back to the house." Axel invited.

Yifei and Lian saw each other and immediately got up from the sofa bed followed by the five fairies. They immediately teleported to their main mansion in [Private Space], the house Aizen and Ana shared with Axel while they were on Earth.

They immediately went to the kitchen to cook the dishes they wanted to make, not just two or three but ten. All of them want to help to make a complete dish.

"What do we want to cook? What do you want to eat? We'll make it happen by cooking together." Aizen rubs his hands after changing into a chef uniform with a white apron and head covering.

The girls also wear similar clothes because what they are going to cook is not a little dish but quite a lot.

"I want Lemon Pie." Axel smiled while holding her hand in front of her body.

"I want Special Lasagna!" Ana raised her hand cheerfully.

"Ah, wait a minute... Em, Perfect Salad seems interesting and great. Yes, I want Perfect Salad." Yifei checks the system first to decide, Alpha is also there.

"I want beef, steak, grilled chicken! Pasta too! Oh, this chowder looks good too." Lian is a bit greedy in choosing from the recipe menu in the system.

Furthermore, the five fairies also chose what they wanted to eat. Even though they don't have a real name other than a codename, they also have their own personalities. But they are not yet complete humans because they are the result of a programmed system and require additional souls and spirits like what happened to Yifei and Lian, or Axel.

"It's interesting and varied, we're going to make a family feast. Make sure your hands are clean before touching the ingredients. We have lots of dishes to cook together." Aizen made sure all the girls were clean and then went into the kitchen and played with the kitchen utensils and a few ingredients to make a dish they would make together.

Tasks are divided evenly by adjusting the tasks in the system based on existing recipes. Even though there were dishes that weren't perfect, they were still all the dishes they cooked together with smiles, laughter, and love.

"Master Aizen, what will you cook for your menu choice? Em, what are you cooking right now?" Yifei asked curiously as she stood beside Aizen.

Everyone who was cooking in the kitchen had said what they wanted to eat, but not for Aizen, he had not said anything about what he wanted to eat.

"Well, all of you really choose a variety of dishes. But we don't have a dish with rice. Therefore, I'm making a Special Rissoto. Smell this fragrance." Aizen swept his palms up slowly like a professional chef who seemed to be showing off an invisible cooking aroma.

"We cook ten different dishes with unusual portions. Are we going to finish them all?" Lian asked.

"No, silly. We cook ten different sets of dishes in odd portions so everyone can taste them. Not big portions, just enough. Uh, no, Lian is so greedy for her choices. It's not ten anymore." Axel answered when she had just put the dough into the oven.

Lian blushed a little because she also felt a little greedy in choosing. The menus all look good and she actually wants to eat them all, but she's only picked five for now. They still have time for dishes that have not been selected for another time.

They continued to cheerfully cook their lunch. Even though they didn't feel hungry or anything as long as they still had [Axel Energy], eating was already something to indulge their taste buds. It would be a shame if they threw away the taste of their world without eating just because they weren't hungry.

After making fruit juices and preparing pure water, meals are served at the large dining table in the special dining room. Currently, they are eating their dishes with pleasure while indulging their tongues for the food they cooked a while ago.

It was the first time for Yifei and Lian. They have spent countless years on a cold and arduous cultivation path, and loneliness and restlessness have become commonplace.

They are currently in a warm, cheerful family with a truly harmonious and warm sense of closeness. It really made them feel comfortable and happy to stay.

Yifei and Lian, who at first were like a scam by Aizen and Axel, then thought they could bet on a great group with extraordinary potential as the chosen one, but now the value of affection has increased again.

The family Aizen, Ana, and Axel are referring to are exactly what they say. This closeness, this harmony, and this warmth would not have existed had they not met Aizen.

Lian immediately put that thought aside because of the temptation of delicious food, she is greedily eating the food in front of her and sometimes she forgets about table manners.

Yifei felt even more sentimental then she saw the man who was joking with the two girls on each side, after the first bite, her tears fell. Not sad tears or sorrow, but joy and happiness, she is very grateful for the current situation.

The family memories she had were only the attention of her master who adopted herself with Lian, but it all took place on a rigid cultivation path and there was nothing like this. Perhaps, this was exactly what she was looking for after living for a long time, a place called home with families who cared about each other.

"Eh, you are crying, Yifei? Is something wrong?" Aizen paused for a moment as he felt Yifei's unstable emotional fluctuation.

"No, it's okay. I just feel good. Thanks for your attention." Yifei wiped the tears left on her cheeks and controlled her emotions.

"Are you okay, big sister? Try eating this beef. It's really good and will make you want it again and again." Lian looked attentively then picked up the beef in question.

"Well, thank you, Lian'er. You also can't eat meat all the time. Take this bowl of salad and finish it." Yifei accepted it with a smile and returned the favor.

"Is that a salad? I'm not familiar with foods like that. I'm a carnivore and I don't know any specific plant foods." Lian immediately tried to make an excuse not to eat it.

"Don't make excuses, you're always like that. You don't need to be acquainted with food, just eat. Balance is important." Yifei insisted and Lian could only relent. Lian is like a cute pet who is bullied and can only eat the salad given by her big sister.

"Fufu... That's cute. They are sisters who really care for each other." Axel giggled.

"Yes, they are very close. I love to see an expression like that. Err... Why every time you eat pie is always messy. Come here for a moment." Aizen stretched out his hand and wiped a tissue over Axel's pretty lips.

"Fufu... Thank you for your affection." Axel blushed a little.

Ana saw it all and did not want to lose, she also ate a little messy for Aizen to notice. Her wish came true, and when Aizen looked back at her, he smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand.

"Now you follow too, Ana? Hmm... Now I doubt whether my daughter is an adult or not." Aizen jokingly wiped off the remaining stain on Ana's cute lips.

"Hehe... I've always been your precious baby daughter! Oh no, now I call you Brother Aizen. So, I'm your sister because we're the same age? So I'm your precious baby sister? Um, now that doesn't sound good. Ah forget it, what is clear is that I am your most precious treasure hehe..." Ana giggled happily.

"Yes, you are my baby and my treasure. Now finish your food." Aizen smiled and continued eating. Axel just smiled for it all between their exchanges.

They all quickly finished their lunch together in warm and cozy harmony. Then they returned to the command room at the center of the Axel Goddess to complete their task of coming to this unknown galaxy.
