Ella sat on the comfiest sofa she had ever rested her butt yet she couldn't enjoy its comfort to the fullest under his gaze. Her heartbeat slightly increased, not only because of the attraction towards the opposite gender but also because of his cultivation level, Body Strengthening stage, level 4.
Cultivation speed like this was monstrous, heaven-defying, and godly.
Despite the large crowds outside, the room was silent. Soon after, a woman in her early thirties came through the door behind him carrying a tray with two cups on it.
The sweet fragrance coming from those cups made Ella's voice salivate to the point that she wanted to jump and gulp whatever inside the cups.
Ghost grabbed the cup with a smile and then, the woman placed the tray before Ella, "Please take it, Elder Ella" Regardless of her covered face, the woman gave her a wide grin, not a fake one but a genuine grin. Ella was surprised by the hospitality, "Thank you"
She couldn't wait any longer, she brought the cup near to her nose getting overwhelmed by the fragrance. Soon, she took a short sip, just only to feel a burst of electricity run through her body. Her black hood covered the sight of her eyes widened, this was nothing like she had tasted before, like nothing. All of her taste buds in the tongue felt alive, delighted, and overwhelmed.
"Delicious isn't it?" After Michael upgraded the system to version 3, he was able to quickly imbue the secret element into the ingredients Raylene brought from Bredia. Although the system said the secret element was pure Arch energy, he somewhat had a hard time believing it. Anyhow, the system made changes to the ingredients in the microparticle level, and coupled with Raylene's 5-star chef trait, anything made out of these ingredients became extremely delicious.
"This is drugs, no it's better than drugs," Thought Ella, quickly finishing the tea in no time.
"Yes, it is delicious" after a few moments, Ella asked,
"Well, Elder Ella, meet the only 5-star in the entire Kingdom of Bredia" Ella's mouth opened further, staring at the woman obediently standing behind Michael.
"Do you know what is the most powerful profession, Elder Ella?" Michael asked after placing the cup on the table in front of him.
Ella blankly shook her head, she was still overwhelmed by the fact the woman in front of her is a 5-star chef. She didn't doubt this fact because no one else could have made a simple tea this delicious,
"Alchemy, there are potions and pills for nearly everything, including for those burn wounds" Michael pointed at Ella's half-burned face, her heart skipped a beat, mouth became dry as she mumbled, "how-"
"Baby Dragon," Ella heard a squawking sound, her mind was blank due to overwhelming surprises and shock she has been receiving ever since she stepped into his home. Soon, Raylene took the cups and left the room, leaving them to their meeting.
"Wow!" she jumped back on her couch, it was a little dragon, a baby dragon. She had never seen a baby dragon before or a real dragon for that matter but she had seen paintings of dragons and the creature in front of her resemble the paintings. She felt the noble aura the creature was radiating, each of its movements was majestic, dignified.
It climbed on his shoulder with ease and dropped the thumb-sized cup it was carrying in its mouth. Michale sent the thumb-sized ceramic cup floating towards Ella, "Apply this cream on the wound in your wrist" Michael had seen those wounds on her forearm despite her full sleeves,
"This will go a lot smoother if you trust me, Elder Ella, besides you have nothing to lose by applying that cream"
"HU!" the baby dragon knew he gave her an order and it kept staring at her until she slowly took a small amount of this bluish cream and applied it to her wound.
The cream touched her skin, her burned skin had long ago lost the sense of touch. Even she wouldn't look at her face or her naked body without feeling nauseated. Half of her body had ugly burn wounds that made her cry her eyes out every single day.
Until thirteen years ago, she was a pretty girl, even though she was not an angelic beauty who would instantly make men fall in love with them, she had a few followers. She was the one who was meant to be the next sect leader of the Broad River sect but this fact changed when she met with an accident, an accident she would never forget until she dies. That day, she was caught inside a burning room, until to this day, she had no idea how the fire started.
The fire engulfed her home and all of her servants, fortunately, her parents weren't at home that cursed day. Because of her wounds, the Elders and the sect leader chose the next in line as the new sect leader, Mathias stating that with those wounds, she can't be the one who leads the sect. They were right, those wounds changed her, changed her from within, she was never the same person after that night.
