"Alright~ Then let's have the most pleasant mealtime together, ow~"
With those words, Jona Velli dispelled the Shielding Magic, just as Medusa arrived with a group of monsters serving delicious roasted meat.
Gris gave a cold snort and, as if throwing a tantrum, took large bites of the roasted meat, glaring at Jona Velli from time to time as if he were eating her very flesh.
Enjoying Gris's dragon-eating gaze, Jona Velli felt as if the delicacy before her had gained a filter, making it smell even more delicious.
However, her movements were elegant as she condensed Ice Crystal Chopsticks and prepared to pick up a piece.
Suddenly, she felt the gaze fixed upon her change.
Jona Velli looked over and found that Friel and Gris were both filled with confusion.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there something strange?"
As she spoke, Jona Velli used the chopsticks to pick up a piece of roasted meat and popped it into her mouth, chewing with great relish.
"Mmm~ (a happy sigh), there's no problem, it's quite tasty."
Friel and Gris looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.
Gris was the first to be unable to contain his curiosity, pointing a small finger as he spoke.
"What is that thing you're holding?"
Jona Velli froze for a moment, looking at the Ice Crystal Chopsticks in her hand. Only then did she realize that this wasn't her original world—she had transmigrated—and in this Western medieval fantasy world, there were no utensils like chopsticks.
Jona Velli swallowed the meat in her mouth and said casually,
"This? These are chopsticks, a type of utensil humans use for dining."
Friel frowned, even more confused; there was no such thing in her Inheritance Memory.
Gris asked again.
"This human utensil isn't in the Inheritance Memory either."
Jona Velli gave a contemptuous smile.
"Hehe, you bumpkin, you really haven't seen much of the world, have you? I saw these in a remote village before I met you guys. They're very convenient to use.
Even though the Inheritance Memory is vast, times are constantly progressing. It's normal for you not to know about new things that suddenly appear."
Gris nodded half-believingly.
"Is that so?"
"As a great White Dragon, would I lie to you? Besides, these have many uses. When dealing with small bits of food, they're more flexible and convenient than a knife and fork.
Try them if you don't believe me?"
Having said that, Jona Velli condensed another pair of chopsticks and handed them to Gris.
Gris took them, looking at the two thin ice sticks in his hand, having no idea how to use them.
"How do you use these?"
"Tsk... so stupid."
Jona Velli demonstrated a few times for Gris.
Dragons naturally have strong learning abilities. After watching Jona Velli demonstrate a few times, Gris felt that his brain had already mastered it.
He tried to hold the chopsticks in Jona Velli's posture, and then... crack.
Gris used too much force and snapped them right in the middle.
His small hand paused in the air for a few seconds before he tossed them away.
"Pfft~ This thing is worse than just using your hands. Look at Friel; can anything be more convenient than her claws?"
Friel had long since started tearing into several large legs, and Gris likewise picked up a beef leg, feasting greedily.
Looking at these two foodies, Jona Velli shook her head.
"How crude."
However, the limitations of chopsticks were evident; the amount of food they could pick up at once was too small, not nearly enough to satisfy them. And so... the three dragons began their formal feast... As the beautiful days passed one by one, Jona Velli settled into a life of sleeping after eating and eating after sleeping, occasionally reminiscing about the wonderful life in her hometown.
Under such a leisurely and comfortable life, a month passed by in a flash.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, spreading its scorching heat to the world.
Feeling the dry, scorching air, Jona Velli's small face was written with impatience.
She had originally intended to go back and lie down like a corpse after eating her fill, but Little Shunzi suddenly ran over to tell her that they had conquered a rather special tribe and wanted to invite her to take a look.
Since she was idle anyway, Jona Velli agreed.
However, she hadn't expected the sun at two in the afternoon to be so intense. Even though Medusa was constantly condensing tiny ice crystal particles to cool her down, the sweltering air still made the White Dragon feel extremely irritable inside.
Medusa, on the other hand, looked apprehensive. After all, her cute master had been keeping a straight face the whole time. She could only do her best to condense ice crystal particles, fearing that if Jona Velli became unhappy, she might sentence her to death.
Fortunately, she was 1.9 meters tall, making it very easy to sprinkle ice crystals over a tiny tot like Jona Velli, who was only about 1.4 meters, so it wasn't too exhausting.
Soon, Little Shunzi, who was leading the way, said respectfully,
"Great Master, we have arrived."
Looking at the cluster of wooden buildings not far away, Jona Velli nodded.
"Let's go and see just how special it is."
Little Shunzi followed beside Jona Velli, and soon the three of them reached the outskirts of the village.
The place had already been surrounded by a group of White Crystal Knights, and the residents of the tribe had been gathered together.
They huddled together, trembling all over, looking fearfully at the White Crystal Knights surrounding them.
Seeing the appearance of these residents clearly, Jona Velli's eyes lit up. Without even realizing it herself, her pace gradually quickened.
Demi-humans! And a group of cute Demi-humans based on human forms with animal ears and tails, numbering about a hundred by sight.
Seeing Jona Velli's arrival, the Dependents bowed one after another.
"Greetings, Great Master!"
Their words drew the attention of the Demi-humans, who couldn't help but freeze upon seeing who had arrived.
A little girl—a little girl who looked like a noble princess stepped right out of a fairy tale.
Demi-humans naturally have an affinity for beautiful things, yet for some reason, deep within their bloodlines, they were filled with terror toward this little girl before them.
While they were sizing up Jona Velli, she was also sizing them up.
To be honest, having been influenced by various fantasy works in her previous life, seeing such creatures appear before her made it impossible for her not to feel excited.
Seeing the slight upward curve of Jona Velli's lips, Little Shunzi knew he had gambled correctly; the Master indeed liked these beautiful and cute humanoid creatures.
However, the gaze of these Demi-humans was far too rude, staring straight at his Great Master like that, which caused Little Shunzi to bark out a reprimand on the spot.
"How dare you! In the presence of my most noble and Great Master, you dare to..."
Before Little Shunzi could finish his sentence, he was locked on by a cold gaze, causing him to hurriedly shut his mouth.
Looking back instinctively, he found it was indeed Jona Velli's eyes, slightly turned toward him.
'What are you doing? Why are you being so loud? Can't you see you've scared my little cuties? So uncouth.'
