The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon
#171 - Why are you crying after eating?
Before night fell, the druids invited by Artlan gathered from all directions to Moonshadow Lake, all of them surprised by the sudden appearance of such a large lake in the forest.
The Wine Woman walked over and patted Artlan's thick dragon claw.

"Not bad, Artlan, without realizing it, you created such a large lake in the forest, and even shaped it like a crescent moon. I'm just curious, how did you learn to draw in moonlight energy?"
Lulu also appeared from the air and sat down on Artlan's back.
"I just went back to the Fairy Court for a visit. It's only been a month, how did your size become so much bigger, Artlan? Tell me, did you eat some special fruit?"
Lulu is a pixie, and her height is only fifty-six centimeters, quite a bit different from those large fairies who are as tall as ordinary people.
Even her current height is the result of Lulu's hard work after becoming a druid.
Generally, pixies are around thirty centimeters tall.
It seems that short people have a kind of obsession with height, trying various methods to increase their height and size.
Pixies are like that, and so are halflings.
Speaking of halflings, here comes one. Today, Yago is particularly different because he has transformed into a handsome man of 1.8 meters, with strong muscles, carrying a four-to-five-meter-long crocodile, confidently and cheerfully walking towards Artlan and the others.
Yadi, on the other hand, was riding a Tibetan mastiff, gritting his teeth and looking at Yago's back.
"Hello, my friends!"
Waving enthusiastically and cheerfully to everyone, Yago felt for the first time that the world looked so small from the perspective of 1.8 meters. No wonder Taishan subconsciously looked down on their hand-to-hand combat ability when he looked at them halflings.
"Damn it, I want to become this handsome too!"
Yago shrugged and said with a smile:
"I asked Dajiao and Taishan to pass on their secret techniques to you later, it's just that you weren't serious enough when you practiced them yourself. After this gathering, you should practice seriously."
"Then at the next gathering, you can make a dazzling appearance just like me."
Just thinking about sitting from day to night like his brother, just to experience the stimulation of the primal force of life flowing in his body, and to seek a combination secret technique that could maintain the Titan transformation for a long time.
Yago's ability to show off in front of others like this now is thanks to Laruen helping Taishan optimize his Titan transformation. When Taishan later asked Laruen how to cultivate the Titan transformation, he also brought some knowledge points about the rotation and fusion of life.
Laruen's insightful answers also benefited Dajiao and Yago.
"What great strength."
Don't mention it, a four-to-five-meter-long crocodile weighs four hundred kilograms, but Yago carried it so easily for such a long distance. Artlan was sure that he didn't use spells like Giant Strength.
He also didn't activate the Titan transformation's amplification, it was really just relying on physical strength.
"Yago, you managed to combine the two secret techniques of Life Rotation and Titan Transformation, thereby fundamentally enhancing your strength. I didn't expect you to be such a genius."
Although Yago really wanted to admit it, Yago wasn't as shameless as Artlan.
"Actually, it's Laruen. Without her guidance, our secret technique fusion wouldn't have produced results so easily, and we wouldn't even have been able to cultivate the secret technique to the point where it could be put into practice."
Artlan nodded. Although Laruen helped Taishan with her own ideas, through Taishan's experience of having his life angel power absorbed by Hana, Laruen should be treating Taishan as Hana's limiter.
Taishan's life angel power and Hana's death angel power restrain each other, but they can also transform each other. Once Hana is really affected and transforms into a demon.
Then the life angel power in Taishan's body is the most likely force to restore Hana to her senses.
So Laruen hopes more than anyone else that Taishan can grow up as soon as possible, but Taishan is not a talented druid. Compared to becoming stronger through thinking and experimentation, fighting and practical operation can help Taishan grow more.
Helping Taishan is helping Hana, making it easier for Laruen to agree to be his magical consultant and help him solve the problems brought by the White Wolf King.
Night came, and a full moon gradually rose into the sky.
Only then did Artlan realize that tonight was actually the night of the full moon.
The water of Moonshadow Lake was also filled with a rustling sound, unknowingly filled, becoming a round crescent shape reflecting white light.
"Moonshadow Lake, Moonshadow Lake, so it means that this lake is like the shadow of the moon. Whatever shape the moon is, that's the shape of the lake. Master is too amazing."
The Wine Woman suddenly realized:
"So this is Grandmaster Gai's work. No wonder it reveals a natural and mysterious aura that people can't understand, which is completely different from your work."
You can praise Master, but don't step on me, okay? Artlan asked unhappily:
"When did I have similar works?"
"Isn't the fish pond in Qinglin Town your work? You crudely draw water element from the center of the lake to nourish the fish in the pond. Fish that lack the accumulation of time do lack a bit of flavor when eaten."
"Now you're saying the fish isn't delicious? I didn't see you eat less of the various fish dishes when we held the banquet!"
Although the fish pond in Qinglin Town is indeed a bit inappropriate, he has also been observing the energy veins of Moonshadow Lake for the past three days, and plans to fine-tune the fish pond after returning to Qinglin Town.
Artlan's fish pond pursues the cultivation of a large number of meat fish in a short period of time, which is completely different from Moonshadow Lake. He always felt that the Wine Woman was a bit strange.
Recently, the Wine Woman seemed to be targeting him intentionally or unintentionally.
There's a problem!
"The moon is up, I'm going to start making tonight's finale dish, I guarantee it will blow your minds."
Seeing Artlan manipulating the mage hand to start kneading the dough, the Leopard Woman curiously leaned forward and asked:
"Are you planning to make a Soul-Suppressing Bun?"
"It's a mooncake, but it's a completely different mooncake from the one you just ate."
Forget it, it's more appropriate to call it Moon Fruit.
The moon fire stimulates the moonshadow lake water added when mixing the dough and meat filling. When the energy of various materials is coordinated into a whole in the rotation, Artlan suddenly throws the iron ball into the sky.
The connection of the iron ball is released in mid-air, and a round, golden ball flies out of the iron ball, emitting a faint light. Under the moonlight, it looks like a second moon.
Hana excitedly clapped her hands.
"Mommy, look quickly, it's the moon!"
The iron ball steadily catches the Mother Moon Ball, which is gradually converging its brilliance.
"Mother Moon Ball, please enjoy."
This Mother Moon Ball is so beautiful that everyone can't bear to eat it, and it's a bit too big. Everyone doesn't know how to eat it.
"Since none of you are willing to start, then I'll divide it."
Artlan accurately divided the moon ball into crescent shapes according to the number of people. As the moon ball was cut open, a rich aroma emanated, making people feel regretful, but unconsciously wanting to take a few more breaths.
"It's so fragrant. Obviously, the materials used are almost the same as those used for the Soul-Suppressing Bun, why is the fragrance so different?"
"The materials are the same, but the cooking methods are different, so the dishes made will naturally be very different. The main thing is that this time the skin is different from the Soul-Suppressing Bun."
"This kind of mooncake skin firmly locks in the aroma of the filling, so the fragrance bomb released the moment I cut it open makes you intoxicated."
"Hurry up and taste how it tastes."
Although they were eating sweet mooncakes, tears unconsciously fell from everyone's eyes. After Hana ate the mooncake, she hugged Laruen tightly.
"Mommy, we will be together forever! Forever!"
The Leopard Woman wiped away her tears, took her mooncake and chewed it in big mouthfuls. Soon, tears blurred her vision again. With a cry, the Leopard Woman cried out.
Hugging the Wine Woman next to her, she shouted:
"What kind of broken moon ball is this? Why does it make me miss my mommy."
Laruen silently stroked Hana's little head.
"Mommy will always be with you until the day you grow up."
In fact, after eating the mooncake, Laruen also remembered her cold mother. This moon ball made her feel that the moonlight was as gentle to children as her mother.
Although her mother was more like a cool and untouchable moonlight, Laruen could still feel the hidden concern for her beneath the coldness.
Laruen's ability to travel in the astral world and even get married and have children, she knew, was all because her mother was tirelessly causing trouble for her cheap father.
Hiss, watching everyone silently reminisce about their mothers, Artlan felt that something was wrong. This was not the effect he wanted to see. Tomorrow, when the sun rises, he will make a Mother Sun Ball to wash away the sadness in everyone's hearts.
No, don't mother! And he doesn't seem to have the rice necessary for making fried rice, cough cough.
"Many of us have never seen our parents, but after spending so much time together, we are already family. In the future, we will unite together."
"On this day every year, everyone sits together and eats mooncakes! This is the original intention of my cooking this dish. In the future, we will eat mooncakes, and we will not make Mother Moon Balls."
"There are still some ingredients, I will make a brand new dish for you."
"Don't!"
The Wine Woman hugged the Leopard Woman and scolded:
"Use the ingredients we brought and make some ordinary, lively dishes. You, Half-Goat, come, let the Dragon Lord, who is good at innovation, rest more."
Artlan shrunk his huge body into the corner as much as possible, looking slightly ashamed.
The Leopard Woman sobbed and asked:
"You said I don't even have an impression of my mommy, how come I suddenly miss her? Just now, I seemed to see a blurry sound, and finally hugged me, and then turned around and left without looking back."
The gentle embrace of a mother was indeed the theme he wanted to express, but how did it go astray?
Artlan swallowed his share in frustration.
That's right, it's a mooncake! The meaning of a mooncake is reunion. He used the requirements of mother and reunion, so wouldn't the dish he made have this effect? Don't mention it, he himself felt like he missed his mommy a little after eating the Mother Moon Ball.
