You want Chapter 12 too?
As the last rays of dusk lingered, the head chef picked up a long ladle and poured the rich sauce over the roasted mushroom-stuffed pig, completing the delicious and visually appealing secret-recipe roasted pig.
The head chef rubbed his sore shoulders. Although shiitake mushroom pork has a mushroom aroma and is a rare cooking ingredient, turning it into a perfect dish requires several steps, including braising, frying, and stir-frying. After more than three hours of focused work, even the chef was inevitably a little tired.
Fortunately, the three roasted pigs were cooked perfectly today.
It let out a long sigh of relief. The cat helper beside it came over to wipe its sweat. Only as tall as the head chef's shoulder, it tried to stand on tiptoe. While wiping its sweat, it couldn't help but sniff the rich aroma of the roasted pig with its wet little nose, but it resisted looking at the fragrant roasted pig.
It knew these roasted pigs were very useful. Although it really wanted to eat some, it wore an expression that said, "I have absolutely no interest in roasted pigs." However, the head chef still noticed it secretly swallowing its saliva.
Ruffle its little head, and the head chef took out a plate of leftover scraps from under the oven. Although there wasn't much meat, it was enough for the little Felynes to have a good meal.
"Meow~"
The head chef nodded with satisfaction as he watched the various young men, heads buried in their plates, enjoying their meals.
The greatest praise a chef can receive is recognition for the food they create.
Tonight's food delivery task was still handled by Chen Yan and his squad leader Naomi. The open-air warehouse, piled with logs, was still damp and dark. After turning left and right, the two arrived at the Xialong's "nest". A roasted pig held by Naomi slowly floated up, and with a series of gnawing and sucking sounds, the Xialong gradually emerged.
With their punctual daily feeding, Xialong visibly grew a little rounder.
After delivering roasted pigs for more than half a month, Naomi had gotten used to the imposing presence of Xialong at close range. The two stood side by side half a meter away from Xialong, patiently waiting for Him to finish eating.
Naomi bent down to pick up the plates and silently stacked them together.
During this time, she also tried to talk to Xialong like Chen Yan did, but when she was looked at by his layered, round eyes, she would feel an uncontrollable sense of fear and her words would stutter.
If she were stared at by both of His round eyes at the same time, she would feel the same way she did when she first met Xialong, where she had to exert all her strength even while standing.
Chen Yan, on the other hand, was much more at ease. He could even pick up some of Xia Long's fallen scales right under Xia Long's nose and call it money for his meal.
After Xia Long licked the grease off his lips, Chen Yan stretched out his arm. The purple lines on his wrist had faded considerably, and he guessed that he might be able to complete the mission a few days earlier.
Xialong lazily stuck out its tongue and slowly wrapped it around Chen Yan's wrist. First, a slight suction came, then his wrist went numb, and finally some sticky saliva was left behind.
Once the saliva is absorbed by the skin and the purple-patterned wings fold, tonight's meal delivery process will be almost over.
Just as the two turned to leave, Chen Yan took a step forward but didn't move. He looked down and saw a large tongue wrapped around his waist. The next second, he was pulled back.
Having not experienced the feeling of his feet leaving the ground for a long time, Chen Yan floated in the air once again. Facing Xia Long's two round eyes that were fixed on him, he spoke in a fawning manner, behaving like a lackey.
"Boss Xialong, did you not eat enough tonight? Please don't be angry. Even if you stuff me in your mouth and chew me up, it won't help. I don't even have two ounces of meat on me. How about this, I'll ask the head chef to give you two more chickens for a midnight snack tomorrow. Is that alright?"
Chen Yan gestured the shape of a famous roasted chicken with one hand, while making a gesture towards Naomi with the other hand behind his back.
Seeing this, Naomi loosened her grip on the signal flare in her arms.
Although Chen Yan was surprised, he was not flustered. He did not realize that Xia Long was hostile to him. Just as he promised to bring an even more sumptuous meal the next day in order to wait for Xia Long to loosen its tongue, he saw Xia Long slowly lift up one of its front paws that was lying under its body.
Its purplish-red claws were larger than Chen Yan's head when it was outstretched. Although it was not an ancient dragon known for its strength, crushing Chen Yan's head would not have been difficult for it.
Naomi watched as the dragon slowly extended its claws toward Chen Yan, her expression instantly tensing up. She gripped the signal flare tighter, even pulling the fuse out slightly.
Chen Yan, facing the Flood Dragon directly, was slightly taken aback, then muttered a few inexplicable words, something like, "You saw it?" "You want to try too?" "Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
He turned around and spoke to Naomi.
"Big sister, could you please find me the largest pot you can find for boiling water, and also borrow a large bowl of fine salt from the head chef? Oh, and I also need a large, rough stone, and enough herbal porridge for ten people..."
He gently grasped the paw that Xialong had extended in front of him and began to gesture. His simple action not only made Xialong's body tremble slightly, but also made Naomi, who was witnessing everything, swallow hard.
She could hardly believe her eyes. How could an ancient dragon monster like the Chameleon allow humans to touch its body?
Chen Yan didn't think that much about it. He just felt that it took him two hands to barely hold one of the Xialong's claws. In terms of claw size alone, it was more than twice the size of the Fei Leilong.
Stroking the thick, hard scales on the surface of the Xialong's claws, Chen Yan felt that he might not be able to serve the Xialong boss with his own strength alone.
He turned back again and looked at Naomi, who was staring blankly.
"And also, Big Sister, could you give me another big bottle of Demon Potion? And as for Strength Seeds, the more the better. Also, two glasses of juice, one large and one small. For Chameleon, who has a strong palate, add plenty of mint and cinnamon to his juice, and less sugar to mine. Yeah, that's basically it, Big Sister, please go and prepare it!"
Naomi awkwardly left to find something, while Chen Yan stroked the giant claws of the Xialong, feeling the newly emerging pale golden monster's request in his mind.
[Xia Long issues a mission request: Is it comfortable?]
I heard the Tobi-Kadachi's mournful cry, smelled its scent, and witnessed its actions in the forest. I poisoned the Tobi-Kadachi and paid special attention to its dramatically changed claws. I wondered if doing that would truly be comfortable.
[Commissioned Fees: Mimicry/Invisibility/Violent Breath/Acid Breath/Stereoscopic Vision/Giant Tail/Experience in tasting Shiitake Mushroom Pigs]
Chen Yan focused his mind and noticed that there seemed to be something strange in the reward list that shouldn't be there. After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he checked another task posting by Xia Long and was shocked to find that the reward pool actually contained the experience of tasting mushroom pigs.
Good heavens, the reward pool has been contaminated!
Outside Chen Yan's dormitory, Hua Miao, who was used to having one of the cats fall asleep first, was purring contentedly. The feeling of one cat sleeping in one bed was simply wonderful. She was completely unaware that two small figures had appeared on the moonlight reflection on the quilt.
"Boss, that's right, it's that ugly fat cat! I recognized it at a glance! It's the one that tormented the Flying Thunder Dragon, making it scream in agony. Let's tie it up and take it back to our lair. Once we've learned how to defeat the Flying Thunder Dragon, we'll avenge our second and fifth brothers!"
