The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Regardless of how Atlan explained it, Vine Woman was convinced that he wanted to reserve a pure-blooded Ocean Dragon wife in advance and was already planning when to arrange for Atlan to meet the Swamp Dragon family's princess.

"Don't be shy. You're still too young. Although your body seems to have grown to about the same size as an adult Ocean Dragon, there are still subtle differences in the internal magic circulation and bloodline purity."

"Do you remember how your teacher told you several times that you need to slow down and settle for a while, and not keep striding forward so quickly, or you'll suffer?"

"Especially since you activated the Fire and Ice element dragon bloodlines while he wasn't around, the backlash will probably come soon."

"Ah?"

Atlan was dumbfounded.

Vine Woman smiled and sprinkled pink fairy light, healing the wounds Atlan received from the Bearman's thunder whip.

"The Old Rascal is the best at elemental coordination and balance in the forest. If he hadn't been addled by the power of faith, do you think he would have agreed to you activating multiple elemental bloodlines?"

Atlan believed in the Old Rascal's mastery of the elements. Since the Old Rascal didn't say he couldn't activate multiple bloodlines, then it must be okay. But because of his actions, the Old Rascal has started to lose his mind.

He probably still has a third of his original wisdom left, but soon he'll really become a crazy old man who only knows how to eat, drink, play, and practice Druidism.

"So, I dug my own grave!"

"More or less, but don't worry. Big Stupid Bear and I will handle the Old Rascal's problem. Once the Old Rascal regains his senses, he can teach you how to balance multiple elements."

"The Old Rascal is confused because of the power of faith, but White Deer isn't, right? Why didn't she remind me that multiple elements would have such a big backlash? And didn't give me a solution?"

Vine Woman spread her hands and said:

"Maybe she thought you knew. And although White Deer is already a Godchild, she's still a bit lacking compared to experienced legendary Druids."

"In your words, White Deer is just all talk and no action. It's good to suffer a little now so you can suffer less later. It just so happens that your teacher also intends to measure your growth."

"Adding a little burden to you appropriately, having more Fire and Ice elements isn't a big deal. Isn't water, fire, and ice what you need for cooking delicious food? It can be considered preparing for your future in advance."

"You need to make more delicious food, preferably enough to let the heroes of the world taste the food you make and believe that the food you make is the most delicious in the world."

"Get them to recognize you as the world's number one gourmet, the wise lifeform of a chef. Not only should the quantity be large, but the quality should also be high. It's best to have a dozen or twenty legendary figures who sincerely recognize your culinary skills."

"You need to seriously continue down the path of a magical chef, and at the same time, you can't delay your Druid and Dragon bloodline cultivation. You need to think more about how to arrange your time."

"Put away this pair of bone claws on the ground first. As for how to purify them, transform the necromantic magic into life energy, and what kind of magical tools to make, ask your teacher later."

Atlan shrank his neck. The Bearman is in a fit of anger right now, and he definitely won't provoke him again at this time.

When the Bearman's anger has subsided, Atlan will bring him his favorite honey bread to apologize and act cute. This matter should be over.

The honey bread definitely can't be ordinary. The recipe that the Leopard Woman used at the pastry competition last time was very good: fairy flower dew, colorful chicken eggs, golden wheat flour.

Plus a little butter made with Great Horned Deer milk, Atlan plans to make crispy-bottom honey small breads to completely conquer the Bearman's taste buds and make him happily turn the page on this matter.

With a turn, Vine Woman disappeared with brilliant fairy light. Atlan looked at the scarlet blood claws at his feet, his eyes full of curiosity.

Originally, the blood claws were tens of meters long, and one finger was about the size of his head, a little bigger than his head, but now the overall length is only two meters.

Atlan was very curious about what secret technique the Bearman used to shrink the bone claws so much, and there was no leakage of necromantic magic or toxins when placed on the grass.

He stepped forward, picked up the bone claws, and tossed them up and down. The weight was also about the same as two-meter-long bone claws.

Shaking his head, Atlan put the bone claws into the dimensional bag that Lallune gave him. He didn't expect his wife's starlight magic to be somewhat related to space. Using the spider silk provided by Arachne, his wife weaved a dimensional bag for him.

Most importantly, he wants to question White Deer, this scammer. It turns out that she was just pretending in front of him all along. No wonder Atlan always felt that the cultivation methods she gave him were a bit unconventional.

He rushed to White Deer's residence, but Atlan only saw the original owner of the house, Leopard Woman.

She was raising a bonfire to roast a rabbit. Seeing Atlan come, she handed the rabbit to Atlan.

"Want to eat?"

"No, I need to talk to White Deer about something."

"Oh, her, the Master called her over to talk. She seemed to be scolded. The Master is really amazing, even the Godchild of Nature can be scolded at will."

Looking at the Leopard Woman's adoring face, Atlan secretly complained. This is the little girl he raised himself, so of course he can scold her however he wants.

"And then?"

"Then she came back to pack her things, packed some food in Greenscale Town, and said she was going to inspect the other Druid forests on the continent and would be back in a while."

Atlan's teeth were about to be crushed. This White Deer knew he was going to settle the score with her, so she ran away in advance. Forget it, take a step back and the sea is wide and the sky is vast.

Endure for a while, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Since she's not here, let's talk about the things between us."

Leopard Woman blinked ignorantly.

"What things do we have? Do you want to ask about the last control crystal? It's quite useful, but the manipulation is still not precise enough. When can you refine the life energy inside?"

"It doesn't feel pure enough, there's always abnormal energy disturbing it during manipulation."

Atlan was shocked.

"Impossible, I tried it myself, there's not a single problem."

Leopard Woman is an impatient person. She went straight into the house and took out the control crystal.

"I'll show you."

Watching the dark green energy surge from the crystal, wrapped around Leopard Woman's arm and constantly spreading to her whole body, quickly forming a light罩.

"It's here, do you feel it?"

Although Leopard Woman said so, Atlan still didn't sense anything, so he could only shake his head, while increasing the intensity and precision of his mental power exploration.

"I'll do it again."

"Now?"

Still nothing, Atlan's expression began to become a little serious.

After doing this three times, Leopard Woman simply dropped the crystal, sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up the rabbit, and started eating.

"My magic is almost used up, but you say you didn't sense anything, are you playing with me?"

"I really didn't sense anything."

Leopard Woman didn't believe it at all.

“Could your perception be failing? It couldn't be because your strength is improving too quickly, could it? After all, how could a normal dragon possibly have such a large body at your age?”

“You should still go ask Master!”

Attilan quickly waved his hand and said:

“There’s no rush. Thanks to you for helping me discover problems with my cultivation. Didn't you want to learn how to make honey bread last time? I happen to have time now, so go prepare the ingredients.”

“I'll teach you a newly developed crispy-bottom honey bread. I guarantee you'll eat one bite after another, and you'll never get tired of it!”

The Leopard Woman's eyes lit up instantly.

“Really! I'll go collect fairy dew now!”

“Don't you have any ready-made?”

The Leopard Woman quickly waved her hand and said:

“What do you know? Fairy dew is best when freshly picked. The bread made with it will have a unique fragrance. Fairy dew that has been left for too long will become stale, just like freshly picked flowers.”

“Don't worry, with the help of the little fairies in the flower garden, I can collect enough honey in less than an hour.”

“Little fairies? Are you talking about those little fairies that Master is cultivating in the fairy garden? When did you become good friends with them? Even when I use the Water of Life to attract them, they are unwilling to get close to me.”

The Leopard Woman proudly swayed her body.

“Of course! Who am I? A big, nasty dragon like you will definitely not be liked by them. My greatest strength is that I'm good at making friends.”

“Besides, I'm not taking their dew for nothing. I know they love to roast and eat a kind of red ant. In order to exchange for dew, I went through a lot of trouble to catch enough ants.”

“Those ants bite really painfully. One bite leaves a red dot, and it's hard to heal even with healing magic. If it weren't to make delicious bread and show off at the food conference, I wouldn't go catch ants.”

Red ants? Attilan asked curiously:

“The ants you mentioned? Are they a translucent red, like crystal and jade?”

The Leopard Woman excitedly waved her hands and feet.

“Yes, yes, yes! You know these ants!”

“Of course, I know them. Those are actually the cast-offs from the red fire ants that Shana cultivates. They don't have fire element in their bodies and don't have much poison. Other than being pretty, they don't seem to be much different from ordinary ants.”

“Do you know why those little fairies like to eat those ants?”

The Leopard Woman shook her head.

“Why don't you go ask with me?”

Attilan impatiently waved his hand.

“You ask. I'm afraid they'll be too scared to speak when they see me again. Every time I meet them, I have to restrain my aura as much as possible to avoid scaring them.”

“But their reaction is still bigger each time.”

The Leopard Woman curled her lips in disdain.

“It's clearly because the dragon pressure you emit is getting stronger and stronger, and you still have the nerve to say you've restrained it.”

Watching the Leopard Woman's lithe figure walking through the forest, Attilan calmly began to examine his own problems. Perhaps the reason the Bearman whipped him was not just because of his recent actions, but also because of a more important reason.

There was a problem with his cultivation, and the Bearman had been waiting for him to discover the problem himself, but he hadn't noticed it at all.

Attilan realized that his perception of himself seemed to be skewed.

So what caused him to have problems?

After thinking about it, it should be that he was progressing too fast and too hastily. He hadn't fully grasped his current strength, which caused the problems of insufficient control and skewed perception.

It seems that he can't wait any longer. After making the honey bread, he must go to the Bearman to confess his sins as soon as possible and get a solution to the problem.

Before the Leopard Woman returned, Attilan also went to Green Scale Town to get some other ingredients.

He was teaching the Leopard Woman in name only because he couldn't get fairy dew. This unique honey must be collected by those little fairies similar to bees.

The honey and their unique fairy energy are combined to form fairy dew.

If they were useless, the Vine Woman wouldn't bother to raise them.

Soon the Leopard Woman came back with a jar of dew, jumping and skipping. As soon as she came back, she eagerly said:

“Let's start now!”

“Don't rush. You must not be impatient when making dishes, otherwise the finished product will either be charred or not cooked.”

“I'll tell you the specific ingredient ratios and corresponding processing methods first. The most important thing is the heat. Last time, not only was there a problem with kneading the dough, but also the temperature of baking the bread.”

“You didn’t fully bring out the mellowness of the fairy dew.”

Attilan was actually a little worried. His perception of himself was now skewed, and he wondered if the taste of the bread he made would also be different.

“We'll do it little by little, making a small portion each time. These ingredients are enough for us to try seven or eight times. I don't believe you can't learn it after seven or eight times. Do you have confidence in yourself?”

“Yes!”

Under Attilan's guidance, the Leopard Woman progressed very quickly, but her talent in magical cooking was not outstanding. There was a world of difference between no failure and great success.

After activating the Fire Dragon bloodline, Attilan discovered a good thing: baking bread became easier. His control over the heat had obviously become stronger. During the baking process, he felt the magic power of the various ingredients gradually combine perfectly.

Under the pretext of guiding the Leopard Woman, Attilan asked the Leopard Woman to carefully perceive, treating the Leopard Woman as an external detector. Finally, in the last attempt, he perfectly harmonized the energy.

When the bread was taken out, the Leopard Woman opened her mouth wide, looking at the brilliant golden light.

“This bread can glow?”

“It's just the magical aura that is outwardly expressed when the magic power is perfectly harmonized. The more uniform and pure the color, the higher the quality of this magical dish.”

“Keep a few to taste, and I'll send the rest to Master and Mistress. They just came back from a great battle and need these delicacies to nourish their spirits.”

The Leopard Woman nodded repeatedly.

“Indeed, you should send it to Master quickly.”

Upon seeing Attilan, the meditating Bearman didn't even open his eyes.

“What are you doing here?”

“Bringing Master some food as a token of appreciation, and also to confess my sins to Master. Your disciple has realized that I was wrong.”

“Where were you wrong?”

“I was arrogant and conceited, and I couldn't discover the mistakes in time.”

“Now that you've discovered it, how do you plan to make amends?”

Attilan approached with a cheeky smile.

“Master, eat the honey bread first. It won't taste good when it's cold.”

As soon as Attilan opened the lid, the Bearman couldn't help but twitch his nose.

After thinking it over, the Bearman couldn't resist his gluttony and reached out his hand, tasting it with a look of surprise.

“Not bad.”

“Master, I still need to ask you about the problem of my body being uncoordinated.”

“Figure it out yourself.”

Attilan immediately brought his big head closer, squeezing himself into the Bearman's arms.

“Master, my dearest and most beloved Master, your disciple can only rely on you. Besides, you've already eaten the apology gift I brought, hehe ~”

The Bearman couldn't resist him, so he could only say:

“Sleep. Solve your problem in your dreams. The greatest advantage of a dragon is that it can solve some incoordination in its body through sleep.”

“I also have a booklet here, the Life School's research on dream cultivation. Take it and read it.”

Attilan quickly took the booklet.

Dream cultivation? I like this!

Finally, [4375 words] I'm sorry, everyone.
