I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 230: Swear

Golden Feathered Duck was a specialty of Blazing City.

It was a reared Normal Grade Beast that can reach up to level 2.

As far as Miguel knows, the Golden Feathered Duck was reared all throughout the Blazing City. Their only purpose was for livestock, as they were cheaper compared to other graded beasts.

They were very accessible and almost all mercenaries hoping to become Martial Artists one day would eat a Golden Feathered Duck at least once a week to supplement their body.

A kilo of Golden Feathered Duck can be bought for 20 Silver Coins. Of course, this was only the valuable thing that the Golden Feathered Duck could offer.

The Red Family reared most of the Golden Feathered Duck in the Blazing City and it was also them who controlled the market for it.

Maras bought the Golden Feathered Duck he used as ingredients from the Red Family as well.

Upon hearing that Maras also offered such a food, and he could request what kind of dish it would be cooked to, he did not waste any more time and immediately told Maras to prepare him two sets.

Normally, such a dish would cost his customer 30 Silver Coins, but since it was Elder Journey, of course, he gave him a discount of 10 Silver Coins, allowing him just to pay the labor and the ingredients’ cost.

Miguel tried to give him the exact amount, but Maras declined thoroughly, saying that Elder Journey deserved it due to the help he had given him.

In Miguel’s opinion, though, Maras had long repaid his debt of gratitude to him.

Anyway, Mguel did not insist too much about it. Secretly, he just hoped that he would have an opportunity to help him again.

Looking at the roasted Golden Feathered Duck, Miguel’s mouth began to salivate.

The Golden Feathered Duck glistened under the light above Miguel. The surface looked golden and it looked very appetizing.

If one did not look closely enough, they would surely mistake the dish as a real golden duck.

After the waiter delivered two sets of roasted Golden Feathered Duck, he did not waste any more time and immediately started eating.

Anything that was roasted, he loved them all.

He even loved his own cooking of roasted meat, how much more if it was made by a professional cook?

Aaliyah and Edith also dug in after sensing that Miguel enjoyed the food a lot.

They smiled to themselves, seeing Miguel so genuinely happy while eating the roasted Golden Feathered Duck.

The roasted duck was not that big. Each duck was only around 2-3 kilograms. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

With Miguel’s current appetite, eating 10 kilograms a day would not even satisfy him, how much more if it was only two 2-3 kilograms of duck meat.

Though it was very accessible and most mercenaries could afford it, graded beast’s food was always extravagant and was akin to luxury.

Even after the discounts, the two roasted Golden Feathered Duck still cost him 40 Silver Coins. One must note that a normal and ordinary pork meat only costs 5 Silver Coins.

No wonder the mercenaries only dared to eat such meat once every week. If the nutritions provided by such beasts would be so meager that they could be neglected. However, since they could not afford any of the high-end meat, the mercenaries could only endure with the Golden Feathered Duck while hoping that they could breakthrough to become a graded martial artist through it.

It did not take long for Miguel to finish the two servings. Only the bones were left behind and if he was not worried that the image of Elder Journey would be ruined, he would have licked the bone due to how tasty they were.

’Ordinary beast and graded beasts truly were worlds apart in terms of tastiness,’ Miguel thought to himself as he wiped his hands clean.

Although they only ate a small portion, the two women were also satisfied with their meals.

As for why they only ate a little, there were two important reasons. In their current realm and strength, there was no need to eat regularly. With Origin Energy, this was further improved.

As for the second reason, both of them were worried that their figures would be ruined if they ate too much.

Of course, their worries were unfounded as beings as strong as them rarely had any shortcomings about their body. Even if they ate too much, it would still not affect the shape of their body even a little bit.

Their worries only existed mentally. Of course, the two of them were aware of it, but they still unconsciously did not want to eat too much, afraid of looking unsightly in front of Miguel.

After all, during sex, Miguel would be able to see their naked body. They were afraid that a small part of it would become bloated due to eating too much.

Anyway, after eating and paying their fee, Miguel and the two bid farewell to Maras who still had a worried expression on his face.

"If you are really that worried, then why don’t you go and forcefully stop them? Your strength should have slowly recovered. Am I right?" Miguel stated just before they were about to walk away.

Maras have always been good to them.

If Miguel’s mind was not an antique that has lived for countless years, he might even try to call him grandpa Maras due to his constant generosity towards them.

Maras nodded his head in understanding. He was actually considering such an option if the twin still remained adamant on exploring that passage.

As for exploring that passage together with them, aside from the fact that he could not leave his business unattended, he also no longer has the desire to explore the world like when he was still young. This was also part of the reason why he settled on becoming a small tavern owner.

According to the description of the twin, that passage was quite dangerous, and he did not want the two of them to risk their precious lives because of greed. Even if he recovered to his peak strength, he would still not have the confidence to go explore that passage that they have discovered.

Even if the twin ended up hating him for his actions later, he would not care.

For him, their lives was important compared to their feelings.

Feelings and relationships could be repaired.

However, a life that has been lost, could no longer be retrieved.

Miguel nodded his head after hearing Maras’ consideration.

"You’re a good elder," Miguel commented before turning around to leave.

The twins were quite lucky that they met Maras.

Miguel was actually moved by Maras’ desire to protect them.

He recalled his youth in the Immortal Cultivation World.

At that time, he was quite spirited and full of energy.

At that time, he still had not met the woman who made him fall madly in love.

At that time, he was still living in an ordinary village, away from the bustle of any city.

At that time, his only worries were the ferocious beasts that existed outside of the village wall.

At that time, he was as resolute as Maras when he swore to protect the village from the invading beasts.

Unfortunately, his resoluteness was not enough to save them.

In the end, he was the only one who managed to escape, and those he swore to protect ended up dying miserably in the claws of those ferocious beasts.

Although he returned and resolved the grudge a few years later, the matter still left a deep impression on him, so much so that it even became a mental demon that obstructed him right before he was about to break through to higher realm.

Fortunately, Miguel managed to surpass such a hurdle and was able to move on from that past.

As he walked forward, Miguel could not help but unconsciously wrap his arm around the waist of the two beauties beside him intimately.

A smile surfaced on his face.

In this life, no person or being that he deemed important shall die.

...

The two beauties were surprised by his actions. However, the sudden action made them blush, and they liked it a lot.

Their cheeks and ears were red in both joy and embarrassment. Even the straightforward Edith could not help but feel her heart fluttering due to his actions.

It was fortunate that it was already dark, or else, the people that they passed by would have noticed the deep blush below their masks.

...

Miguel and the two arrived at the villa a few moments later.

As they had an appointment with Maras for the roasted duck earlier, they decided not to go to the library for the time being.

Inside the villa, Miguel went down the basement and continued where he let off earlier.

Aaliyah went to her forging room, while Edith followed behind her. She wanted to see the process of her sword being forged by Aaliyah with her own eyes.

As Miguel closed his eyes and immersed himself on creating the new skill, he did not know that the two women had a conversation inside the forging room.

A few hours later, Miguel opened his eyes and released a turbid breath.

’Creating such a major skill is indeed troublesome,’ he commented as he checked the status of the two women.

After seeing that they were about to be done for the day as well, he brought the two of them upstairs.

Due to the filth that they had accumulated all throughout the day, and to consolidate their previous experience, the three of them decided to take a bath together for the first time.
