Chapter: Chapter 381: Guzzle Another Bottle
Loli wanted to check on Connie’s health, but Connie had already bolted and was gone like a shot.
It was unlikely a giant dragon would have any problems. She had never heard of giant dragons getting sick before. Besides, if Connie had any curses or illnesses, Loli would have noticed them at a glance.
Shaking her head, Loli attributed Connie’s odd behavior to being tired from kneading dough. She put her scattered thoughts aside and continued making the flower cakes. When she reached the dough-processing step, her sensitive nose detected a rich milky aroma from the dough.
“Strange…” Loli frowned. “Did I add milk? I have no recollection of that.”
She turned and walked into Connie’s room next door, where Connie had been kneading the dough. On the stove, there was only some scattered flour, and no leftover milk was in sight, but how to explain the milky smell… “Did I really misremember?”
The little maid stood dazed in the kitchen, gazing at the flower beds outside the window, lost in thought.
…
“It’s over, it’s over!”
“How could this happen!”
In the castle’s garden, a small figure darted out like a blur. Wherever she passed, flowers and branches were broken. The gust of wind she brought even changed the direction of the signposts. Connie was clutching a bottle of wine, looking utterly panicked.
She had only been elevated to adulthood by divine power. She hadn’t even been alive for a full year! Even including the time she was kicked out of the nest by the Mother Dragon, it wasn’t enough. But how could she possibly have dragon’s milk? It wasn’t that she didn’t want to transform into a dragon or summon her wings to fly away quickly. The main reason was that she didn’t dare to make any significant movements right now. She had been kneading the dough for Loli just fine when halfway through, a major problem arose. Now, she could only barely hold it in.
She sped along, nearly knocking over two castle guards, and finally burst into Xi Wei’s room. Accompanied by a clatter of bottles and jars, everything gradually fell silent.
Half an hour later, Connie emerged from Xi Wei’s room, looking completely satisfied.
“Phew—, finally done~” She patted her chest, let out a sigh of relief, and then, clutching the wine, she hopped away and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
…
…
In the afternoon, Xi Wei returned to his room. He had already resolved the issue of the couple who had been beaten. First, he issued a public announcement in the Winter City plaza, and then he ordered the knights to march with the announcement. Of course, this alone was not enough. To completely cleanse the image of the two actors, they needed to play positive roles in the next drama. To quickly implement this, he specifically went to find the Scheming Frog and finalized a future play. It would be “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Those two actors would perform as two of the seven dwarfs. To help the general public get used to distinguishing between actors on and off-screen, he also ordered the popular actress Elena, known as the “Thorn Rose,” to play the Evil Queen.
As soon as he entered the room, Xi Wei sniffed the air. It was a rich, milky fragrance. His gaze shifted forward, and he saw a neat stack of fifteen bottles of milk on his desk, all in the crystal bottles he had leftover from the Life Spring.
“Strange… I don’t remember ordering any milk… Why would so much milk be delivered, and in these crystal bottles…” Xi Wei walked to his desk and sat down, staring at the milk on the table, utterly perplexed.
These bottles of milk were definitely not from Loli. The little maid was very particular about ceremony. When she delivered milk tea, it always came on a plate, must be warm, and three sugar cubes served in a mint leaf dish would be placed beside it for him to add as he pleased.
Picking up one of the milk bottles and observing it closely, he found the milky aroma growing stronger. Compared to the milk from Winter City, this fragrance was far too alluring. Relying on his Red Dragon Bloodline, Xi Wei didn’t think much of it and followed his taste buds’ desire, taking a gulp.
Indeed, it was rich, smooth, and faintly sweet. After swallowing, a warmth spread throughout his body. This extraordinary experience made Xi Wei even more curious.
Guzzle another bottle!
…
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Looking at the remaining ten bottles of milk, Xi Wei let out a satisfied burp. He couldn’t guzzle any more. This milk was very energizing and filling. It was better to share the joy, so he planned to save this excellent stuff for the Maid Corps members, Clemon, Gudbad, and other senior staff to enjoy together. After drinking five bottles, he still couldn’t figure out the origin of this milk. As the young master of the Jinshi Family, he had drunk all sorts of milk since he was a child. But he had never tasted anything so delicious before.
He decided to use the system’s innate insight ability to scan the milk bottle in his hand.
[Mutated Black Dragon Milk]
[Although giant dragons are oviparous, female giant dragons can produce dragon milk under the dual stimulation of external factors and emotions. However, this usually only occurs with Metal Dragons, as they are very fond of their offspring. Five-colored dragons typically do not produce dragon milk; they usually find feeding their offspring a troublesome chore.]
[PS: Guess where this dragon milk came from?]
Xi Wei: “???”
Female, mutated, Black Dragon! And in Winter City! Did he even need to guess?
“That’s not right! This has never happened before, why is it happening suddenly today?” Xi Wei sat stiffly on his chair, completely stunned. Moreover, the system’s prompt stated that for a giant dragon to produce milk, two conditions had to be met: sufficient love for its offspring and sufficient external stimulation. Could it be that Connie considered him her son?
Regardless of whether she considered him her son or not, this dragon milk couldn’t be shared. He could only open another bottle with a heavy heart and chugged it down. In less than half an hour, the remaining ten bottles of dragon milk were all gone. Xi Wei lay on the chair with a round belly, feeling “full” for the first time.
Fifteen bottles of dragon milk didn’t seem like much at first glance. But with every bottle he drank, Xi Wei’s body grew hotter, and his blood seemed to boil. Normally, this dragon milk was meant for young dragons. Perhaps only a Half-Dragon like Xi Wei, whose blood had been modified by dragon blood, could handle guzzling fifteen bottles at once. If an ordinary person were to drink it, they would likely burst their stomachs from the overly rich nutrients and energy in the dragon milk.
“Darling, is it good…” Connie’s timid voice came from the side. Xi Wei’s scalp tingled as he turned to look. Connie was leaning on the windowsill by his desk, her small hands supporting her chin, her two adorable big eyes staring straight at him.
