Chapter 51: The Terrifying Effects of the Dragon’s Origin
Mophis felt as though she was walking down a starlit avenue paved with gourt food.
With every step she took, the surrounding players watched her with feverish excitent and anticipation, their eyes fixed on her—and on the “creation” in her hands that represented the culmination of their own efforts.
Under Ignis’s discerning gaze and spiritual guidance, Mophis finally carried back three breakfasts that had been “chosen.”
The first was 【FoodGodDescends】’s trump card—【Life’s Praise · Jade Dragon Beard Noodles】. The noodles were made from powdered 【World Tree Sprouts】 that contained imnse life energy, while the broth had been simred for forty-nine hours with dozens of rare herbs, forming the 【Hundred Herbs Soul-Returning Soup】. Garnishing the noodles were several ruby-like pieces of 【Heart of Fire Dragonfruit】.
The entire bowl radiated a soft green glow, and just inhaling its aroma could lt away all fatigue.
The second was the 【Lava Heart Chocolate Soufflé】 crafted by the “French Dessert Master,” ultimately not accompanied by stargazing.
The soufflé was shaped like a volcano, with a small fissure at the top. When tapped lightly with a spoon, molten chocolate, as thick and hot as magma, flowed out slowly. Its mingling sweetness and faint bitterness exploded on the palate, instantly rousing one’s appetite.
The third was a cup of plain-looking water, served in a simple bamboo cup. This ca from a player with the ID 【Tea Master】, nad 【Rootless Water】.
According to him, the water was collected from ten thousand ters above the clouds, untouched by pollution, then refined nine tis with his own “Heartfire,” removing the last trace of impurity. It was said to embody the essence of “the Great Way is simple.”
Ignis sat upon her luxurious bed like a queen, scrutinizing the three breakfasts before her.
She first picked up the bowl of 【Jade Dragon Beard Noodles】, gently lifted a strand, and placed it in her mouth.
The next second, her golden pupils flared brightly.
A surge of pure and gentle life energy burst in her mouth, coursing down her throat and flooding her body. It was like parched earth eting its first spring rain—her long-slumbering body, dulled from millennia of rest, suddenly stirred to life.
“Mm… not bad.” She gave a succinct evaluation, then swiftly finished the entire bowl, broth and all.
Next, she turned to the soufflé. With a silver spoon, she gracefully scooped a piece and tasted it.
The rich sweetness, tinged with a trace of fire-elent energy, tugged at her usually stern lips, lifting them ever so slightly into the hint of a smile.
“Interesting.”
Finally, she lifted the cup of 【Rootless Water】. Taking only the faintest sip, she set it down again, closing her eyes as if savoring sothing intangible.
Monts later, she reopened them and looked at Mophis. In a tone that brooked no refusal, she declared:
“From now on, my breakfasts will be handled in rotation by these three bugs. As for paynt…”
She casually grabbed three pigeon-egg-sized gems from the mountainous pile of jewels beside her and tossed them to Mophis.
“This should suffice, right?”
Mophis stared at the gems, each exuding fiery, life, and frost auras—clearly no ordinary treasures. For a mont, she was at a loss for words.
Spendthrift woman…
But wait, the quest rewards I set didn’t include these. Could I secretly keep them for myself?
She glanced up at the towering figure of Ignis and imdiately abandoned the thought.
Muttering silently to herself, she held the gems and left the room.
When she distributed the three gems as rewards to the three lucky players, the entire player base erupted once again.
The three winning chefs were so overwheld with excitent they nearly fainted on the spot.
“An extra reward!”
They had not only received legendary-grade materials, but also the “recognition” of the Dragon King herself! From that day forward, they were officially the “Royal Chefs of the Dragon King!” This honor outweighed any equipnt in value!
The commotion sparked by the breakfast finally subsided.
Mophis felt utterly drained, yearning only for a place to rest properly.
But just as she returned to that dazzling golden room and prepared to climb onto her already-occupied bed, a sudden and indescribable heat surged violently from deep within her body.
“Mm…”
A muffled groan escaped her lips as her knees weakened, nearly causing her to collapse.
“What’s wrong?” Ignis’s voice sounded from behind, tinged with puzzlent.
“I… I don’t know…” Mophis felt as though her body had been set ablaze, her skin burning hot, her blood boiling.
She instinctively opened her character panel—only to be startled by the rapidly flashing notifications.

【Your body is undergoing an unknown change…】
Unknown change?
Before Mophis could even process the aning, a strange, tingling sensation spread across her chest.
Looking down, she saw her white dress straining slightly at the bust.
Though still modest to the point of “disappointnt,” the curve was noticeably less flat than before.
Mophis: “…”
What the hell!
The Dragon’s Origin… had this kind of effect too?!
Better than any papaya milk!
As she reeled from this unexpected “bonus,” Ignis had already approached her from behind.
Without a word, she lowered her head and inhaled deeply at the nape of Mophis’s neck.
“Mmm…” Ignis let out a satisfied sigh, her golden eyes brimming with an even stronger, devouring possessiveness.
“The scent of my ‘treasure’… has beco sweeter.”
She traced a single finger along Mophis’s flushed, swanlike neck, her voice low and husky.
“It seems my decision to feed you was correct.”
“This ‘collectible’ of mine, under my ‘nurturing,’ is growing more and more perfect…”
The heat of her touch made Mophis shiver involuntarily, scalp tingling.
She truly felt like a treasure hoarded by a dragon, being “polished” and “maintained” in its own unique way.
The sensation filled her with overwhelming sha—and a faint, indescribable tremor.
Ignis seed pleased with her reaction. Leaning close, she whispered into Mophis’s ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:
“Now that your body has recovered… isn’t it ti to fulfill your promise?”
“Sing… for .”
