A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

135. Bread prepared by Esther

"Master meow~"

She dragged out the last syllable of her voice for a very long time, making it extremely alluring.

From Saint Karina's perspective, one could actually see the pattern formed by three line segments that are not on the same straight line, connected end to end, beneath Esther's skirt. However, Saint Karina wouldn't be foolish enough to deliberately self-destruct.

"I admit I was wrong, really. Master, I was wrong, meow~"

Santa Karina could never have imagined that one day she would imitate cats and dogs that have made mistakes, bowing their heads to apologize to their owners.

"Sister Saint Karina, do you really think you're wrong? Well then, it's your turn to show me how to please your master and win my favor."

Esther withdrew her slender feet, which were encased in black stockings, and Saint Karina felt lighter as a result.

However, she curled her toes, looking somewhat awkward and uneasy, as if she were rekindling Saint Karina's past teasing, seemingly hinting at something.

Saint Karina quickly realized that this girl wanted her to quit!

"Meow~"

After hesitating for a moment and struggling with her dignity, Saint Karina, still on all fours, swayed her hips and wiggled like a real little female cat as she approached Esther, who had taken a few steps back.

With a hint of shame on her face, she finally made a desperate move, bending down to pick up the black-stockinged toes and pull off Esther's stockings.

There was a noticeable dampness on it. Although it didn't have any strange smell, and instead left a pleasant aftertaste, Saint Karina's cheeks were so red after this series of procedures that they looked like they could bleed.

humiliation!

So humiliating!

Saint Karina swore that if she were stronger than Esther, she would spank her until she cried out in pain.

She must learn what it means to respect her elders, and she must repay that wretched little sister Esther with all the humiliation she suffered.

"Good boy, good boy."

Esther bent down and stroked Saint Karina's head. She saw the rebellious saint now rubbing against her feet obediently like a kitten with its claws pulled out, and her agitated mood was soothed.

"Well then, Sister Saint Karina, shall we continue?"

"Meow~"

Saint Karina could only draw out the last syllable and continue to act cute, though inwardly she was so angry she wanted to give Esther two big slaps, but outwardly she could only endure the humiliation.

Perhaps it was the thought of what she was going to do later that made her body feel hot.

"Master...please, please let your cat serve you...your cat~"

Just like Huan Yang, a large amount of white water vapor appeared on the top of her head, just like those two-dimensional heroines in anime.

"Okay, sure~ Sister Saint Karina, you can order whatever you like~"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Esther's mischievous smile became even more pronounced.

Her toes hooked up Santa Karina's chin, forcing her to look up. The delicate touch, carrying a sweet fragrance, filled Santa Karina's nostrils.

"Woo..."

A wave of dizziness washed over her again. Saint Karina's hand reached out and lifted Esther's snow-white little feet, ready to begin serving her.

It's milky white, just like ice cream, so clean and pure. Speaking of ice cream, it's a frozen food with increased volume, made primarily from drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream or vegetable oil, sugar, etc., with the addition of appropriate food additives, through processes such as mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing, and hardening.

Based on their hardness, ice cream is divided into hard ice cream and soft ice cream. The former has an overrun of 30%-60% and is hardened for easy packaging and transportation.

The latter type of ice cream does not undergo a hardening process during production, has an overrun of 80%-100%, and is generally made and sold on-site using an ice cream machine. Typically, soft-serve ice cream that hasn't hardened is also smoother.

Based on ingredients and taste, there are cream ice creams: ice creams made primarily from "cream" have a smooth and refreshing taste, but also carry the harmful effects of high calories from cream.

There's also yogurt ice cream: an ice cream dessert made with yogurt ice cream powder or batter using a yogurt ice cream maker. It's rich in active probiotics, which help boost immunity.

And fruit and vegetable ice cream: a soft-serve ice cream made by combining fresh milk and fresh fruit jam.

Finally, there's the sundae: a soft-serve ice cream made with a mix of ingredients like milk, candy fillings, fruit juice, jam, and cream, and also includes an egg yolk. Flavors include strawberry, cherry, chocolate, and peach.

"Is it delicious, Sister Saint Karina?"

"It's delicious, meow."

The "ice cream" that Santa Karina is holding is the first type of creamy ice cream. She's not afraid of the high calories; the key is the creamy flavor.

However, she doesn't have the autonomy to decide how much to eat or how long to eat.

"Hmm~ Eat more, it's good for your health, Sister Saint Karina, you know I would never harm you."

Ice cream is a food containing high-quality protein, high sugar and high fat. It also contains amino acids and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur and iron, which have the functions of regulating physiological functions and maintaining osmotic pressure and pH.

Data shows that ice cream has a digestibility rate of over 95% in the human body, which is higher than that of meat and fat. It is nutritious, with its main nutrients being sugar and fat.

Ice cream contains sugars, including lactose from milk, fructose from various fruit juices and pulps, and sucrose. The organic acids, tannins, and various vitamins in it can provide the human body with the necessary nutrients.

The fat in ice cream mainly comes from milk and eggs, and it contains a relatively high amount of lecithin, which can release choline, helping to improve memory. The fat-soluble vitamins in the fat are also easily absorbed by the body.

Additional nutrients are found in the nut crumbs, rainbow sugar bars, and chocolate chips commonly used in ice cream.

For example, many people enjoy the nut pieces on top of ice cream. Nuts are actually quite nutritious, containing protein, vitamin E, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and fiber, but they are also high in fat. Although most of their fat is unsaturated fat, which helps lower bad cholesterol in the blood, they are very high in calories, and eating too much can easily lead to weight gain.

There are also rainbow candy bars. While rainbow candy bars and marshmallows are fat-free, they are very high in sugar. Sugar has very low nutritional value, providing only calories, and eating too much can easily lead to weight gain. One tablespoon of rainbow candy bars contains 60 calories.

Finally, there's chocolate chips. Chocolate chips contain 54% cocoa butter, 19% carbohydrates, and 12% protein, making them a high-fat food. Adding chocolate chips to ice cream doubles the fat, sugar, and calories.

After that, her tongue was almost numb from licking, before Esther told her to stop.

"Alright, Sister Saint Karina, that's enough. Let's go somewhere else~"

She lifted her skirt, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Although it wasn't a vacuum, how could a small piece of cloth possibly stop Saint Karina's little serpent attack? In order to retaliate against Esther and make her tremble and blush, Saint Karina launched an attack directly.

136. Overt threats

"Sister Saint Karina, do you like soup?"

I love cats!

As long as it's authentic, Saint Karina has to pretend to like Esther's soup.

This is a tofu, shrimp, mushroom, and broth soup that has been simmered until the oil is golden and the broth is white. It tastes very delicious.

As for the method, firstly, you need to peel and devein the fresh shrimp, then marinate the shrimp meat with salt, cooking wine, and ginger shreds for 10 minutes.

Next, cut the two large florets of broccoli into many small florets, wash them, and blanch them lightly. Cut the tofu into small cubes and set aside. Beat the eggs and scramble them in a pan. Remove the roots from the enoki mushrooms and white beech mushrooms, wash them, and set aside.

Next, heat oil in a pan, add shrimp heads, stir-fry and press to extract shrimp oil. Add enoki mushrooms and white beech mushrooms and stir-fry until softened. Then remove and discard the shrimp heads. Add water to the pan, cover and bring to a boil.

During this cooking process, add the tofu cubes and shrimp again, along with salt and chicken bouillon to taste, and bring to a boil once more. Add the scrambled eggs and broccoli, and simmer for a few minutes.

In addition to soup, the people of the Lorian Empire also need to eat some staple foods, such as meat, bread, and eggs.

Esther provided Santa Karina with hamburgers, the meat and bread being just right.

In fact, the soul of a good hamburger lies in the patty.

Authentic beef burgers don't need refrigerated, compressed patties; they demand the same level of quality in their beef patties as steak.

The best cut of meat is fresh beef shoulder or neck, with a bit of fat for a better texture. Then marinate, pound, and pan-fry, adjusting the doneness to your preference.

The freshly cooked beef patties are tender and juicy. If you bite into one, you might accidentally get some on your hand. But as you chew them, you can taste the rich meaty flavor.

Beneath the small piece of cloth were two fresh slices of bread, spread with a very generous amount of meat sauce, more unfathomable than the magic bag of a certain Blue Cat Mage, overflowing with ingredients.

"Ah... Sister Saint Karina, you're amazing!"

As soon as the little snake touched the bread slice, Esther trembled, clenched her thighs, and revealed a lewd expression.

Don't get the wrong idea, it's because every time Esther makes a hamburger, she likes to top it with cheese according to her own dietary preferences.

The freshly made, thick cheese sauce cascades down like a waterfall, slowly pouring over the burger, flowing freely and unrestrained, seeping into every part of the burger, and smelling so tempting!

At times like these, she transforms into a master of water magic, capable of creating new oceans with even greater water reserves than lakes.

In her territory, she is invincible, but one or two times is far from enough.

However, the ocean today seems a bit strange; it's not the usual deep blue ocean, but a red sea with a light pink tinge.

Why does it smell fishy, ​​meow?

Saint Karina realized something was wrong. Could it be that there was a sea monster in the area that had just bitten its prey, tearing off its flesh and blood, and that the blood had spread throughout the sea?

Take sharks, for example. Sharks vary in size, ranging from as small as 18 centimeters to as large as 18 meters.

All sharks have cartilage in their bodies. A shark's skeleton is made of cartilage, not bone. Cartilage is lighter and more flexible than bone. All sharks belong to the class Carcharodon, and while all cartilage exists, it is still relatively hard.

Furthermore, due to their hunting methods, sharks need to replace tens of thousands of teeth throughout their lives. Many sharks, including the great white shark, have rows of sharp teeth in their mouths. As soon as the front teeth fall out due to eating, the back teeth will replace them.

The new teeth are larger and more durable than the old ones, and are serrated. In this way, sharks can not only bite their prey tightly, but also effectively saw them apart.

Because the great white shark's upper and lower jaws are not tightly connected to its head, it can extend its upper jaw upwards and forwards to swallow prey, sometimes even swallowing the prey whole. The structure of a shark's teeth is another unique aspect of its ecology. Anyone familiar with sharks knows that their teeth are like sharp knives, capable of easily biting through cables as thick as a finger. For example, the devil shark has a long, sharp snout and sharp teeth.

Different species of sharks have teeth that vary in size, shape, and function. Therefore, ichthyologists can determine the order, genus, and family of a shark simply by looking at the shape and size of its teeth.

Surprisingly, sharks' teeth are not in fixed rows like other marine animals, but rather in 5 to 6 rows. Except for the outermost row of teeth, which are the actual teeth, the other rows lie supine as backup, like roof tiles covering each other. If the outermost tooth falls out, the teeth in the inner row will immediately move forward to fill the gap.

Her head was pulled out from an indescribable place, just as the little serpent was pulled away from the depths of the canyon.

She smacked her lips, and there was indeed a subtle taste in her mouth, similar to the taste of rusty iron.

Although it wasn't a pure rusty smell, but also had a hint of fishiness and sweetness, this wasn't the first time Esther had experienced this; it shouldn't be like this...

Suddenly, a bold idea flooded her mind. She suddenly realized that Esther's race was human, and even if she was a demigod, her body was still human, or rather, somewhere between a god and a human. She should… perhaps… also have her period, the kind of thing that girls have every month…

This natural physiological response was something Santa Karina used to experience every month, accompanied by a slight downward pressure in her lower abdomen. However, since waking up after her death, her body had changed, and she hadn't had it for a long time.

Demons and sea creatures simply don't have the kind of features that human girls possess, which is why she only realized this belatedly after taking a few bites.

"Sister Saint Karina, why did you stop eating?"

Esther tilted her head and asked in a seemingly cute way.

"If you don't eat it, don't blame me for using other methods to force you to eat it~"

But her words were less endearing; they were an open threat.

Although she wore a threatening expression, it was definitely not a kind smile. Instead, it was like the fake smile of a carnivore, a smile meant to lure its prey into a trap, like a smiling tiger.

"I'll eat it, I'll eat it, okay?"

Rather than being forced to eat, it's better to eat on your own and preserve some dignity.

Anyway, it's not that bad. Just think of it as a hamburger sandwich with some blood mixed in and not fully cooked.

"Hehe, that's a good boy."

Seeing Saint Karina compromise, Esther smiled with delight. She patted Saint Karina's head, seemingly intending to restore Saint Karina to her rightful place.

Regarding how to make hamburgers, freshly bought beef should be minced. If the beef you buy is too lean, you can add some butter or lard.

Next, add the onions to the ground beef, along with 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and mix well. If you don't like a strong onion flavor, you can first sauté the onions with 1 teaspoon of salt until they are slightly caramelized before mixing them into the beef.

The third step is to divide the seasoned ground beef into portions of about 150-200g each, and toss them back and forth between your hands several times to shape them into patties. Tossing the patties helps to remove air from inside.

Season both sides of the patty with a little salt and black pepper. Gently press a small indentation in the middle of the patty with your thumb to help prevent it from bulging out during frying.

Fourth step, take a cast iron pot, pour in a little oil and heat it to 7% hot, put in the meat patty, use a spatula to flatten the meat patty slightly, and fry over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes.

After flipping the patties, add the bacon and fry until browned and the oil is rendered. Remove and set aside. Avoid flipping the beef patties too frequently, otherwise they will easily fall apart. Adjust the frying time according to the thickness of the patties; if using a frying pan, shorten the time slightly.

After removing the bacon, place cheese slices on the meat patties, cover the pot and simmer for 1-2 minutes. When the meat temperature reaches 60-66℃, it is ready to be taken out of the pot.

"In the Church of Order, a saintess should serve His Holiness the Pope, like the Pope's dog, shouldn't she?"

"Yes, you're right, meow."

Saint Karina was too lazy to argue with Esther. Esther's threats were as blatant as wheels hitting her face, and she didn't need to confront Esther head-on.

When you're weaker than your opponent, any direct confrontation will only put you at a disadvantage. You might as well try to get back at them by eating bread.

Just like the meat patty is done, the bread slices are equally important. Mix mayonnaise, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and pickle cubes to make a hamburger sauce, and set aside. Pickles can be added according to your own taste, and yellow mustard can be replaced with ketchup.

Add cheddar cheese to a pot and cook over low heat until slightly melted. Add butter in small amounts several times, stirring constantly until the two are combined.

Making cheese sauce requires patience. Control the temperature of the sauce by turning off the heat and reducing it to low, and stir constantly until the ingredients are combined. Before adding butter each time, make sure that the butter and cheese are fully mixed. If the butter and cheese sauce separate, pour out the butter first, and then add it slowly while stirring constantly.

Finally, slowly add 80-100ml of milk, stirring constantly to adjust the consistency of the sauce.
