Chapter 6 Chapter 6 69 % Theon opened his mouth to argue but barely managed to say a no when a noise from the next room cut him off , followed by Zaynes frantic voice . He instantly jumped up and hurried over . Whats going on ? The moment he stepped in , he saw Nyx curled up in bed , eyes shut , while Zayne was digging through their medical supplies to carefully run some checkups on her . Nykie took a fall . She said she suddenly felt really dizzy , Zayne explained , his tone full of concern . Theon didnt have the energy to wonder when Zayne had gotten close enough to start calling her Nykie . Why is she suddenly feeling dizzy again ? Theon asked , his brow furrowed . +23 ) Before Zayne could answer , Felixs voice came through loud and clear . Intermittent dizziness is a classic symptom before a females mental power awakens . Could she be about to go through a second awakening ? Even though it was a rare occurrence one in a few hundred years there had been cases in history where a females mental power failed to awaken at 18 , only to later experience a second awakening . Zayne raised his eyebrows at Theon . Only then did Theon realize hed forgotten to end the video call . Without thinking , he just hung up . Seeing that , Zayne shook his head and asked , Marshal Lane gave you trouble again ? Zayne had known Theon for many years , yet he never understood why Theon and his uncle always came into conflicts despite their close relationship . Theon shot Zayne a cold look and explained , Hes trying to break up me and Nyx . Zayne nodded and replied , Nykie doesnt have mental power , and with your high Loss of Control Index , its no wonder they pulled you from the front lines . Felix is just worried about you . When a males emotions ran high , their Loss of Control Index would go through the roof . On the battlefield , with all the stress and constant violence , military men were among the most prone to losing control . They were just not suited for pairing up with females who lacked mental power . Theon said nothing but just stayed quiet . Zayne didnt want to dig deeper into sensitive topics , so he focused back to analyze the data carefully . When Nyx fell asleep , they left her room . Zayne told Theon , Your uncle is right . Nykie is very likely experiencing the second awakening . She even has shown some mental power fluctuation . Her intermittent dizziness has something to do with this . By the time Nyx woke up , it was already evening . Seeing the two males waiting outside her door , she felt a little embarrassed . Did I scare you guys ? she asked , a bit sheepishly . I just have low blood sugar sometimes . Its nothing serious . Zayne chuckled and said , Its indeed nothing serious , but its not just low blood sugar . You might be on the verge of a second awakening . It was actually great news . All the females wished they could have mental power , and a higher mental power level meant 1/3 12:28 Sat , Feb 8 BGB . Chapter 6 2 × 369 % higher social status and more respect . Thus , they could have stronger males as their spouses and lead a better life . The two of them had already planned how to celebrate it , expecting Nyx to be over the moon about the news . But when she heard it , her expression was anything but thrilled . She looked almost awkward . Nyx had no idea how Zayne had come to the conclusion that she was about to awaken . She thought he must have misdiagnosed her . After all , she was a human, and humans couldnt get mental power . But seeing the two of them so happy about it , Nyx didnt have the heart to correct them . She just hoped they wouldnt be too disappointed later . Zayne adjusted his glasses and gave her a reassuring smile . From now on , you need to eat regularly , okay ? And make sure to get plenty of nutrients . Regular supplements wont cut it for you . Ive already ordered a batch of special ones , custom made for your needs . Thinking about how Nyx seemed to have an unusually strong craving for good food , Theon nodded . He remembered that this was a trait common to all females they couldnt stand bland , tasteless nutrient packs and preferred real , natural food It was just perfect . In his younger days , Theon had aced cooking classes and was something of a culinary whiz . Theon glanced over at Nyx with a playful smile tugging at his lips . If youre not into nutrient packs , what do you like to eat ? I can whip something up for you . Zayne felt a sense of crisis upon hearing that . He had been so focused on the nutritional balance of her meals that he completely forgot about what females actually wanted to eat . On top of that , his whole celibacy theory meant hed barely scraped through cooking classes back in the day , so his cooling skills werent anywhere near Theons level . Zayne had never thought of this day to come . He swore to himself that he needed to get some serious practice in cooking . Nyx chimed in , Ah , well , actually , those nutrient drinks arent that bad … She was already disappointed in the food on this planet , and she thought she could just live on nutrient drinks . But then a thought popped into her head , and she brightened up . Wait , how about I make dinner instead ? As a thank you for taking care of me these past couple of days . Theon and Zayne froze , exchanging a confused look and thinking , Is she serious ? A female doing the cooking for males ? If the Female Protection Association gets wind of this , well probably get dragged to court . But Nyx was already ahead of them , rummaging through the kitchen . She found potatoes , asparagus , tomatoes , and a bunch of other things she didnt recognize at all definitely not stuff she could find on Earth . The meat was about the same as what she saw back home , though she couldnt tell what kind of animal it came from . It was already cut into neat pieces , though , so she picked out some ribs and a chunk of what looked like beef brisket . To her surprise , the spices and condiments were decently stocked . But then , the real issue hit . She had no clue how to use the kitchen gadgets . Theon saw an opening and suggested , How about I handle the cooking , and you just tell me what to do ? He thought this whole thing was a joke . He didnt believe a female could cook , especially one who couldnt even remember her past . 12:28 Sat , Feb 8 GBB Chapter 6 6 ༥ . 69 % 23 Still , he went along with it . If it made her happy , he was down for whatever nonsense she wanted to pull . And even if they ended up with a disaster , hed probably just smile and eat whatever she served . After all , he was tough enough to survive anything . Nyx then instructed , Okay , first , cut the ribs into pieces and wash them . Then , put them in cold water with some ginger and scallions . If we dont have cooking wine , just use any other alcohol , and blanch them . Theon had no idea what blanch meant but did exactly as told . Zayne , not wanting to sit idly by , jumped in to help . He followed Nyxs orders to chop up the ingredients into the right shapes . Next , Nyx had Theon put the ribs in the oven and add in the seasonings like garlic and pepper . The kitchen soon filled with the mouthwatering smell of grilled braised pork ribs . Meanwhile , Nyx was busy guiding them through a second dish tomato and beef brisket stew . Both dishes would take a good while to cook on Earth . But with their advanced devices , everything was done in a few minutes , and the result was just as tender and flavorful as the slow cooked dishes . When it came time for the last dish , Zayne insisted on making the fried asparagus himself . However , his over the top precision caused some friction . He spent way too much time debating how much a pinch or a little bit of seasoning meant . Nyx was ready to lose it , and Zayne , realizing his mistake , scrambled to apologize . Luckily , the dish turned out fine in the end . They all sat down to eat . They had three dishes and something dry as bread . After two days of suffering through the bland , tasteless food on the planet , the smell of these homey dishes hit Nyx like a wave , and for a second , she felt like she was back on Earth . But then , she shook it off . There was nothing left on Earth worth clinging to . With a small , contented smile , she sighed inwardly , letting go of old attachments . On their planet , there was a custom : females would eat first , and males usually served the females . If the female was in a good mood , she might give them the leftovers . When Nyx first heard about this , she thought it was some weird roleplay scenario . But she wasnt about to feed them her leftovers . After sampling each dish , she waved them over and said , Come on , join me . Lets eat together . She sneaked a glance at their faces , half worried the food wouldt be to their taste . She knew the flavors were probably too Earthy for their alien palates . 12:28 Sat , Feb 8 BGB . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
