Lisa, Vishdair, Chelina.
Zumama, Remyu, Liko.
Three family mbers, three guests.
The snacks and drinks at ho had long been set out, placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Liko, who had already changed from work clothes to casual clothes, sat on the sofa, visibly a bit awkward, her cute cat mouth a little stiff.
At first, Zumama also wasn't very accustod to this atmosphere. It seed she'd been detached from such group activities for a very long ti, ever since she disembarked from the Dragon God and arrived at Lin Guang's, looking sowhat lost.
But soon, Zumama's curiosity overca her awkwardness. She wandered around the villa with those delicate and clean bare feet—how they remained so was a mystery—observing the Spirit Rune Array and various ether instrunts with her indigo eyes.
Eventually, she made her way to the kitchen where Lin Guang, Chelina, and Remyu were busy preparing dishes.
Then...
The gears of the oven baking Remyu's apple pie were in trouble.
Harassed by Zumama's ether for so ti, the gears seed unable to focus on temperature control, causing erratic temperatures inside the oven and making Remyu let out a sharp explosion, creating chaos in the kitchen.
As for that black-green Dragon Bubble...
Originally nestled in Lisa's room, it had deliberately closed the door, doing who knows what, completely ignoring the noise downstairs from Zumama, Liko, and Remyu's visit.
The outco was that Vishdair, tidying up supplies, forcibly opened the door, grabbed the Dragon Bubble's tail, which was sprawled on the table, using its short claws to draw with Lisa's children's pencil on its notebook, and carried it downstairs despite its resistance, handing it to Lisa.
Its dark red eyes were full of fury, puffed up like a bubble ready to burst, but it dared not voice its anger, only muttering "gawu" softly, like a quiet complaint.
Yet, it settled down not long after Lisa cald it, grudgingly munching on the Pocky Chelina fed it while cutting vegetables, eyes involuntarily glancing towards the bustling kitchen, where enticing aromas floated.
Soon.
A grand New Year's Eve dinner began.
Everyone moved the dining table to the lake, making massive cooking preparations easier.
Zumama watched the bonfire roaring, excitedly grilling at and carving potatoes, as if so long-lost mory from Terra World was awakened, then suddenly, to everyone's surprise, she jumped into the lake, diving into the water.
Before long, she erged on the shore holding a large fish—using her Tier Five Magical Beast prowess, she effortlessly captured a two-ter-long Silver Scale Fish.
She was soaking wet, the few ragged pieces of cloth she wore further clinging to her curves due to the wetness, looking even more alluring, yet her face bore no embarrassnt, just a touch of innocence and inquiry as she asked the others, "Can this be grilled?"
Vishdair glimpsed her attire, "You can grill at too?"
Zumama hesitated, nodding slightly.
—Her hotown, from the eastern rainforest of Terra Continent's Sargon realm.
The tribe she lived in naturally relied on hunting to survive, making grilling the simplest form of cooking quite familiar to her.
Even after arriving at Blue Star, living in this high-tech place Coastal City for ten years.
Even if her power, her skill, had she returned to Terra Continent, would qualify her completely to be Sargon's so-called "King of Kings".
Yet deep down, she still held onto past childhood mories.
Lin Guang watched her nostalgic gaze, flicked his fingers, a spark flew out, growing in the wind, soon forming a bonfire similar to the one in front of Vishdair.
Zumama paused for a mont.
Then, she saw Chelina approaching and asking with a smile, "Need help handling this?"
......
The seven soon began eating a feast by the lake.
Lin Guang's cuisine almost instantly subrged Zumama and Liko in a sea of taste-induced happiness.
The dishes, akin to using Spiritual Materials of the sa level to craft normal potions, granted a joy potions couldn't begin to compare with.
Even Dragon Bubble silently started devouring, eating what was on the small plate at the specially prepared spot by Lisa. Its little tail and the fur at the end swished as if reaching the sky.
Did it really think it's dumb?
If staying at Lin Guang's was intolerable, it would've figured an escape by now.
Isn't it because living here is actually comfortable?
Besides, since that incident, even its "true self" hadn't erged...
Even Remyu, who tasted his cooking before, showed an uncontainable joy, her wings and the halo on her head flickering.
Lin Guang's culinary skills were still improving?
This already rivaled those Six-Star Miracle Masters specializing in cuisine, whose talents relate to culinary arts!
