 Chapter 3258: Just Go Ahead and Eat, Don't Be Polite

The palace of the dragon race clan leader was incredibly exquisite, the most beautiful palace Lin Moyu had ever seen.

Little Mei's eyes lit up as she looked around, but Lin Moyu noticed her attention was clearly not on the palace itself, but on the table of food and wine inside.

The aroma wafted over, entering through the nose into the body and then into the soul, incredibly tempting.

Lin Moyu knew this banquet prepared by the dragon race was no ordinary affair. The ingredients used were likely all heavenly treasures.

This aroma had no effect on him. With his level of dao heart, he was long past being swayed by external things. What he wanted was only what he himself desired.

But it wasn't the same for Little Mei. She had just begun cultivating, how could she resist such temptation? Even with her innate dao soul, she couldn't withstand it.

Little Mei's self-control was already quite strong. If it were an ordinary person, they likely would have rushed over to feast already.

Little Mei hadn't done so, and hadn't even said she wanted to eat. She just stared longingly.

"Could it be that..." Lin Moyu's mind stirred as he thought of a legendary possibility.

Clan Leader Long Wei smiled and said, "Please be seated, Mr. Lin."

Lin Moyu said, "You are the host, I am the guest. You sit first."

Long Wei didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly in the host's seat.

Lin Moyu sat to her left, with Little Mei beside him. The two great elders sat to Long Wei's right.

There weren't many dishes on the table, only ten plates, and they weren't very large.

But each dish was extremely exquisite.

Lin Moyu knew these dishes weren't something ordinary people could handle. Each dish contained powerful energy. If a normal person ate more than a few bites, they would likely explode.

Little Mei stared at the dishes, drool reaching the corner of her mouth.

At this point, Long Wei explained, "Mr. Lin is surely wondering if there is dragon liver here."

Lin Moyu didn't deny it, "I did think about it."

Long Wei laughed heartily, "The dish in the middle is indeed dragon liver. This dragon liver comes from a wood attribute divine dragon at the fourth level Dao Venerable realm."

Little Mei was stunned. Dragon liver...

Eating dragon liver in dragon territory completely overturned her worldview.

Imagine if someone dared to say in front of dragons, "I want to eat your liver." They would certainly be eaten in one bite.

Lin Moyu explained, "Legend has it there's a rule in the dragon race that when entertaining the most honored guests, they would extract their own dragon liver, prepare it as a delicacy, and invite the guests to taste it."

"Dragon liver and phoenix gall are said to be the most delicious foods in the world."

The dragon race did indeed have this practice, but it only existed in legend. In reality, no one had ever heard of anyone eating dragon liver.

Lin Moyu thought that in the current world, probably only beings like the Three Ancestors would qualify to eat it.

Little Mei never imagined it would be like this. She asked softly, "Is dragon liver really delicious?"

Long Wei smiled and said, "Whether it's delicious or not, won't Miss Little Mei know after taking a bite? It's just that dragon liver is very potent. Mr. Lin should make some preparations."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It's fine. As long as Little Mei doesn't eat too quickly, there won't be any problems."

Long Wei's eyes lit up slightly, "It seems Miss Little Mei is also extraordinary."

Not everyone can eat dragon liver. Even if they can eat it, they need to be able to withstand it.

For dragon liver from a fourth level Dao Venerable, even if a Venerable Lord ate a bite, they would need to refine it carefully. Yet this little girl who had just started cultivating could eat it?

Gurgle!

Little Mei's stomach suddenly growled.

Long Wei laughed heartily, "Don't wait anymore, Miss Little Mei. Just go ahead and eat, don't be polite."

Lin Moyu also said to Little Mei, "Don't be polite, eat."

Only then did Little Mei boldly take a piece of dragon liver and carefully put it in her mouth.

The dragon liver melted instantly upon entering her mouth. Little Mei's eyes immediately lit up, "It's so delicious!"

Then a powerful force exploded within her body. Little Mei's entire body emitted a glow, and she automatically floated into the air, instantly entering meditation to digest the power within the dragon liver.

Lin Moyu looked for a few moments before looking away. He could sense that Little Mei's innate dao soul had begun to digest and absorb the power within the dragon liver.

The innate level soul was Little Mei's greatest foundation, which is why Lin Moyu dared to let her eat the dragon liver, and not just one piece.

Once this piece of dragon liver was fully digested, she could continue eating.

Little Mei's power was increasing at an astonishing rate. In the past half year, Little Mei had reached a level equivalent to about four promotions in the small world.

To outsiders, Little Mei had just begun cultivating and didn't even count as a cultivator yet. Only those above the Transcendent realm were considered cultivators.

Now with the help of the dragon liver, Little Mei had broken through this threshold and begun advancing towards the Transcendent realm.

In the small world, this would be the time to awaken skills, but that was the rule of the small world and not the same as the Origin Continent.

Moreover, Lin Moyu intentionally didn't let Little Mei cultivate any techniques, only letting her cultivate purely.

As for techniques, once Little Mei absorbed the reincarnation treasure, she would naturally have them. There was no need to rush.

Intense cold came from all directions. In a moment, Little Mei had become an ice person.

Long Wei seemed to notice something, "Miss Little Mei seems to possess a special constitution, though I can't tell what kind of constitution it is."

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Little Mei is indeed somewhat special, but it's not convenient to say now. Please don't take offense, Clan Leader Long."

Long Wei shook her head, "Everyone has secrets. How could I take offense?"

She changed the subject, "This time the dragon race was able to escape calamity, all thanks to Mr. Lin. Previously when the Netherworld race and Hundred Herbs Alliance came, fortunately the Three Ancestors intervened in the end, avoiding the slaughter of our dragon race."

Lin Moyu was very modest, "With your clan's strength, as long as the ancestors in the dragon tomb awakened, you shouldn't have needed to fear them."

Long Wei said, "If Withering and Flourishing Elder hadn't made a move, naturally we wouldn't have needed to be afraid. We wouldn't even have needed to activate the dragon tomb. The four ancestors outside Dragon God City would have been enough to deal with them."

Lin Moyu frowned, "That old fellow made a move too?"

Long Wei nodded, "We didn't know at first. It wasn't until the Three Ancestors arrived and called out Withering and Flourishing Elder's name that we realized Withering and Flourishing Elder had come too."

"I guess Withering and Flourishing Elder's purpose was to deal with our ancestral holy spirits."

With a Great Dao realm being eyeing them from behind, and most of the dragon race's forces tied up in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, they basically couldn't defend their territory.

Fortunately the Three Ancestors arrived. The Three Ancestors didn't even need to make a move. Just standing there was enough that neither the Netherworld race nor the Hundred Herbs Alliance dared to act.

The Three Ancestors' unfathomable depth made even the Beast Emperor and Withering and Flourishing Elder wary.

Long Wei nodded, "The Three Ancestors said it was because Mr. Lin completed a transaction with him that he came."

"I imagine the price Mr. Lin paid to move the Three Ancestors must have been high."

Long Wei understood clearly what kind of person the Three Ancestors was. As a businessman, he would only act if the price was right.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It was a small matter, nothing really."

Long Wei said, "Regardless, Mr. Lin's great kindness and virtue will be remembered by our dragon race. From now on, Mr. Lin will be our dragon race's most honored guest."

"If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, I would like to make Mr. Lin an honorary elder of our dragon race."

The dragon race did indeed have a concept of honorary elders. Historically, not many people could become honorary elders of the dragon race. They could be counted on one's fingers.

But what benefits came with becoming an honorary elder, no one really knew.

Lin Moyu didn't immediately agree, because once he became an honorary elder, it meant he would be tied to the dragon race.

He didn't know if it would affect his future plans regarding Antares.

Moreover, his destiny would be influenced by the dragon race's destiny. Whether that was good or bad remained to be seen.

Lin Moyu slowly said, "Regarding the honorary elder position, I'd like to hear more details from Clan Leader Long."
