Chapter 400: Orc Restaurant

This trip to the Magic Control Union was certainly not in vain for him.

The millions of Jin Along in his pocket were no joke; he directly tossed a dragon-slaying commission to the Union's field team.

I heard that giant dragons were once considered one of the magical disasters by the Magic Control Union; back then, they slaughtered dragons left and right.

Later, the giant dragons grew unwilling, united to form the Giant Dragon Alliance, and applied pressure from all angles, forcing the Magic Control Union to reluctantly revise the rules.

The experience and artifacts left behind from that time shouldn't be completely lost so quickly, right?

We can only try our luck.

Rod waited in place for a while.

Only after Pan Ni transformed the last batch of intact corpses into her own necromantic army did he enter the town with her.

Beyond the relay station lay a tent encampment.

This was a temporary camp for outsiders who couldn't afford to enter the town; the people here were the most scattered and panicked, and after learning of the dragon attack, it was the people from here who left the most.

The ground was covered in garbage and excrement, with tents scattered haphazardly.

Large patches of vegetation on the land had been trampled flat.

Beyond this area was a checkpoint, where a new 【Possession Removal】 and 【Invisibility Detection】 spell ritual had been added, with a mage stationed there permanently.

Rod didn't try to make any exceptions; he went through the process properly before Pan Ni Cheng Gong and he successfully entered the town.

Afterwards, the two entered an orc private kitchen.

It was a small shop run by an orc auntie with three children, specializing in various meats, with the signature dish being 'Orc Steak'.

This thing could only be ordered rare, no different from raw meat.

Actually, not many people ordered it.

But the orc auntie stubbornly wrote it in the 'Daily Recommendation' at the door every day.

Rod came here specifically for the 'Orc Steak'.

It wasn't for him to eat; his friend only eats well-done.

It was mainly to cater to Pan Ni's taste; ghouls don't eat cooked meat.

Quickly.

A black iron plate, two pretentious pieces of broccoli and cherry tomatoes, and a slab of raw beef larger than a face, with only the surface seared brown.

Pan Ni's eating manner was also frantic, half her face covered in blood and juice.

"If you let it sit for a couple of days to rot a bit more, it would taste even better!"

The ghoul Young Lady said this when the orc auntie came to ask how the taste was.

The orc auntie froze upon seeing her pale, ghost-like face and hurriedly walked away.

Pan Ni didn't mind; seeing her master hadn't finished eating yet, she gnawed on a raw onion while watching him eat.

She liked this kind of stimulating food.

Master eating is so beautiful. His lips move up and down.

I really want to bite them off and taste them.

"You should know we're having a party tonight, right?"

Rod asked suddenly while cutting meat with his head down.

"Ah?"

Pan Ni looked at the raw onion in her hand and quickly spat out the contents of her mouth with a "pfft pfft."

"You are not allowed to participate tonight; just watch from the side."

"Ah—No, Master! It has no smell, really no smell!"

She hurriedly explained.

Seeing her master ignore her, she opened her sandalwood mouth, hooked her lips with her fingers, and leaned her whole body over the small table to get close to Rod.

"Smell it, smell it, Master—just smell it!"

The pungent odor of the onion mixed with a sour astringency, very faint, somewhat like the smell of cheese.

That tongue, turned pale purple, swept up, down, left, and right inside her mouth, then anxiously extended out, long enough to almost lick her chin.

The shop was equipped with a stove, making it much warmer than outside.

Therefore, Pan Ni had taken off her wrapped long robe, revealing the open-collared white long dress underneath.

At this moment, with her mouth hooked and leaning forward, Rod sitting opposite could easily see the two drooping, figure-eight shapes below her slender collarbone.

As a ghoul.

Pan Ni didn't have much flesh on her body, but it was concentrated on her chest, specifically glandular breasts that weren't very soft.

However, even after becoming a ghoul and with her muscles slightly sagging, they still stood proudly upright.

Pan Ni's appearance, like Rosalia's, belonged to the mature type.

But she always carried a clumsy, simple-minded housewife vibe, completely different from the Tooth Fairy Fairy's sharpness and ambition.

He raised his eyebrows.

"The smell is very strong."

"Ah?!!"

Pan Ni immediately made a crying face.

"Actually, it's easy to solve; if the smell is strong, just eat something else to mask it."

"Yes, yes, yes! Eat something! Master, is there any food that can cover the smell of raw onion and that you won't dislike?"

"Of course there is."

Rod pointed downwards.

Pan Ni looked blankly in the direction her master was pointing.

Only when she saw the conical Shanfeng propped up did she freeze, finally understanding her master's meaning.

Her face burning hot, she tucked her neck and sat back down, glancing left and right with a thoroughly guilty air.

"Here?"

When the two of them returned, they had missed the dinner rush, and since they were afraid Pan Ni's ghoul identity would startle the other guests, they deliberately chose the most out-of-the-way spot.

"If you don't want to, forget it. Don't come over tonight."

"I do, I do, I do!"

Rod offered no opinion either way.

Pan Ni took a deep breath, holding back her shyness.

Looking around to confirm no one was watching, she slowly swayed her hips and slid under the table, then used the hanging tablecloth to cover herself.

Now came time to enjoy.

Rod felt the slightly cool touch, hissed once, kept cutting his meat, and calmly put it in his mouth.

"Your technique has improved a bit, Pan Ni."

Pan Ni said nothing, just kept fumbling clumsily.

It was a public place, after all.

Rod didn't want to play for too long either; if someone discovered them, it would be quite awkward.

He was a respectable person, at least.

Besides, even with improvement, Pan Ni's technique was still that of a total novice; as a corpse-converted ghoul, she was inherently unsuited to delicate, precise movements.

When it came to this particular skill.

Tally was in a league of her own, first place by a country mile.

The only one who could give her a run for her money was the land naga Eve; her long, slender tongue was also quite formidable—purely a racial advantage.

A moment later, the fresh thrill faded.

Rod channeled 【Growth Spirituality】 into Pan Ni along with it.

【Growth Spirituality used successfully】

【Pan Ni acquired skill: Negative Energy Physique】

【Details: Growth Spirituality activated a spiritual art Pan Ni had not yet mastered. This skill will greatly enhance her talent for dark magic and necromancy, increasing the concentration of negative energy in her mana. Pan Ni's research into negative energy gradient force has improved, and she has gained 'Life Drain' and 'Soul Drain'!】

【Life Drain: Can drain HP from enemies to restore life to oneself or one's minions】

【Soul Drain: Drains soul energy from enemies, boosting spells by 10% to 50% based on the intensity of the soul energy.】

【Remaining Growth Spirituality: 83】

Almost at the same time.

Rod immediately felt Pan Ni's temperature slowly turning colder, dropping even lower than the previous twenty-something degrees.

The ghoul Young Lady let out a low moan.

A bit loud, fortunately the orc lady boss didn't look over.

She kept it in her mouth without releasing; when she raised her eyes to look at him beneath the tablecloth, the slightly cloudy yellowish pupils from before were gone, replaced by pure ink-black pupils.

At this moment, under the influence of 【Charm Bodily Fluid】, her gaze was dazed and dizzy.

Her already pale face had turned a deathly gray, yet the texture of her skin had miraculously improved somewhat.

Her bearing shifted slightly—mature, but now tinged with something gloomy and oppressive.

Rod pinched her chin and popped it out with a soft smack.

He poured a bottle of Clarity Potion down her throat, then gently wiped away the other wet traces on her face.

The ghoul Young Lady felt the affection.

She lazily leaned against the inside of his right thigh, nuzzled her cheek against it twice, and with drowsy, sleepy eyes, raised her gaze to look longingly at those utterly delicious-looking lips.
