Chapter 1143: Chapter 165: Prophet Ian’s Candidness (6200)

“Make a True Dragon sing praises?”

As Ian was being pulled towards the dining room, his thoughts weren’t exactly polite: “If Anfa was talking about Sio, then it’s not that difficult, is it? This dragon’s never tried desserts before, so eating a chocolate nut ball could make her happy for an entire afternoon. But when it comes to roasted meat and fish dishes, she’s quite picky, though it’s mostly just at the level of a regular gourmet.”

“If it’s to satisfy her and make her endlessly praise it, I can handle it.”

Of course, Ian also knew that Anfa was definitely referring to the standards of other True Dragons. The True Dragons of Terra often send avatars to roam the earth and have likely tasted countless delicacies from various regions over their long lives. Satisfying them requires top-notch culinary skills.

Anfa, who was leading Ian to the dining room, wore a long dress avatar. After bringing the boy to the destination, she quietly retreated. The formal-dressed Anfa, who was entertaining other guests at the scene, smoothly waved to Ian, while the seated Yisen Gard and Master Gossay turned their heads and smiled, nodding in greeting to Ian.

——Adapting to these Dragon Bloods and True Dragons is really a bit troublesome.

When Ian first saw the long dress Anfa welcoming him, he knew what was going on. But actually seeing it was another feeling — having multiple bodies, all of them being oneself. If the connection between oneself and the Crystal Dragon Incarnation were stronger, perhaps it would be like this?

Speaking of this, the reason why the Crystal Dragon can invite others to control its body might also be because a bit of simulated Dragon Blood has awakened.

The light in the Ashlight Family’s dining room is quite dim, much like the family’s name, akin to the twilight of a sunset, while the floor is as black as ink, not reflecting a bit of light, just like the pitch-black night.

On one side of the dining room, there was a melodious sound of the zither, and several elf girls in gauzy dresses, with graceful figures, were performing music. They were oblivious to their surroundings and focused intently on playing.

The knights stood on either side of the entrance’s beams in the hall, but there were no guards inside. This was also normal — there were several Second Energy Level masters inside the dining room, along with avatars controlled by the Dragon Souls of True Dragons. The guards, with only their captain at Second Energy Level, could only handle small thugs or other guards of the Elf King’s Blood. However, encountering a true expert who could break into the Ashlight Family’s main residence, whether stationed outside or not made no difference.

“Ian, you finally made it!”

Seeing Ian arrive, Sio couldn’t help but cheer: “Without you, Anfa won’t start the meal! I said you didn’t care, but they wouldn’t believe me!”

“I really don’t care.”

Ian shook his head, pulled out a chair, and sat next to Yisen Gard, which was also opposite Anfa at the main seat: “But this is human etiquette. Even if I don’t care, everyone must act according to the norms — True Dragons must also have rules, right?”

“The rule of True Dragons is ‘not stopping it means not caring,’ and not caring means it’s allowed.”

Sio raised a slender, fair hand and nonchalantly shook her head: “But I understand the rules of Humans and Elves very well, and I will follow them seriously!”

“I can tell, you actually don’t understand at all. Truly understanding means you wouldn’t say it out loud!”

Ian couldn’t help but chuckle. Interacting with Sio was indeed pleasant; this True Dragon, whether in male or female form, had a carefree and innocent aura. No wonder Anfa would become friends with her. Who wouldn’t like such a friend?

“This is a private dinner party, and everyone here is my friend, so there’s no need to worry about any rules.”

Anfa gently ruffled the hair of Sio, who was pouting and trying to refute Ian, causing her to sway contentedly. She then smiled and pressed a button next to the main seat: “I hope you all will enjoy and savor the delicacies of Canaan Moore.”

“I hope it tastes even better than what Ian makes!”

Sio was obviously looking forward to it too, energetically muttering to herself. But her words made Anfa and Yisen Gard pause, then both turned to look at the white-haired boy.

“You cooked for Sio?”

Yisen Gard asked quietly: “Could you even make a True Dragon praise your skills?”

——Back in the Imperial Capital, your skills were great, but they didn’t seem that exceptional!

Anfa didn’t ask, but her slightly surprised look clearly indicated she wanted to ask the same question.

“Of course. I’ve mentioned my skills have improved, right? My culinary skills haven’t fallen behind, and they’re worlds apart from what they were before.”

Ian casually glanced at the elves’ cutlery — which turned out to be quite interesting. These Elves actually had cutlery similar to chopsticks, but knives and forks were also available. They even had additional tools resembling bone crushers and metal straws, with a wide variety of utensils.

He turned his head and whispered to Yisen Gard: “After this exploration of the ruins, I’ll show off my skills for you and Anfa — though don’t expect too much from the taste. Even with improvements, I’m still not as good as professional chefs; it’s mainly because Sio is easy to please.”

“What do you mean I’m easy to please!”

Upon hearing this, Sio was instantly displeased — this is a contempt for the untold years of True Dragon history, and Ian must apologize immediately!

The girl furiously pounded the table and reprimanded, “When it comes to eating, I am a perfectionist! If it’s not truly delicious delicacies, I absolutely won’t give any praise!”

“Mmm! It’s delicious! So tasty!”

Thirty seconds later, upon tasting the stewards serving the purple peach milkshake, Sio immediately forgot her previous declaration, expressing a heartfelt admiration: “So fragrant and sweet — whether it’s the fresh and sweet fragrance of the purple peach or the pure creamy aroma of the Sturdy-horned Sheep’s milk, it’s top-notch… Is the appetizer drink already this tasty?”
