The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 407 Mushroom House Camp

The two burrowing mushrooms plunged into the ground and hid.

All that remained on the grass was the enormous bloodsucking vines creeping there.

It blooms with beautiful little white flowers, spreading its scent and waiting for prey to come to it.

Underground, the caps of two burrowing mushrooms were slightly tilted, their stems pressed tightly together.

The mushroom walls disappeared right next to each other, and the two mushroom houses, one large and one small, were completely connected.

Once the connection was established between the two sides, Lilith came over:
"Once all four of our burrowing mushrooms have grown up, we can set up a spacious camp underground whenever we want!"

“That may take some more time.” Moran also took out the planting pot for growing the burrowing mushroom and began to cultivate it using exotic magic.

To this day, her burrowing mushroom has not shown any intention of opening its internal space to her.

Vasita was in a similar situation; she was currently replenishing her magic power by stuffing breadfruit into her Devouring Stomach and infusing the Burrowing Mushroom with magic power converted from alien magic!

"Don't worry, with the amount of alien magic you two are infusing, your mushroom house will be big enough to fit a tent in a few months at most," Lilith said.

Who's like those two, cultivating burrowing mushrooms like they eat, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening!

Sylph agreed: "Your burrowing mushrooms are doing very well, they're growing rapidly!"

"Really?" Moran and Vasida looked at the red mushroom caps on their fingertips (the tips of their canes) with delight.

“No, it’s one thing for Vasita to replenish her magic with food, but Moran, aren’t you losing too much magic by using it like this? I haven’t seen you use food to restore your magic and eat more! Are you using the gem coins you’ve earned to restore your magic and speed up the growth of the red mushroom umbrellas?” Lilith asked.

"I used magic converted from mental energy," Moran said. "So far, I haven't run out of it; a little meditation is enough to replenish it."

Thinking of Moran's exaggerated mental strength, Lilith felt relieved and instead suggested:
"We'll be working together for a long time to come, so let's each take charge of cooking for a day! That way, we'll all have a chance to practice our cooking magic, and we can also get feedback from others."

"sure!"

Moran, Vasita, and Sylph had no objections.

Even Vasita and Sylph, whose cooking magic levels are relatively low, can now make their cooking utensils cook on their own.

Cooking is not difficult for them.

However, it's quite difficult to improve one's cooking magic.

Having friends around to learn from and help with tasting is always better than trying it all by yourself.

"Let's start with dinner tonight! I'll go first, you guys rest for a bit, I'll call you when it's ready, and no peeking!"

Lilith finished speaking first, then ran back to her tent and closed the tent door.

"I don't know why, but seeing how serious my senior is, I have a bad feeling..." Vasida said.

Sylph shrugged. "Me too."

"Let me predict whether this dinner will be auspicious or inauspicious!" Moran summoned his magic.

"Prophecy magic can be used like this?" Sylph asked in surprise.

“Of course! Any opportunity to use magic, no matter how small, is precious!” Moran said, using the Fortune and Misfortune spell.

After the spell was cast, Sylph and Vasita asked curiously, "How was it?"

Moran frowned and shook his head, remaining silent. "No way! It's that serious?" Vasita said with concern, "Actually, I just fed the Devouring Stomach a lot of breadfruit, so skipping dinner won't be a problem."

“I…I’ll just have some honey water with Bi’er for dinner,” Sylph said.

"Hahaha!" Moran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's alright! Just average. It might not be very delicious, but it won't be too bad either."

“Mo! Lan!” Vasita clenched her fist.

Moran immediately slipped back into the tent, only peeking out from behind the tent flap: "Dinner shouldn't start for a while yet, I'm going back to meditate."

After saying that, he closed the tent door.

Vasita: "..."

Sylph chuckled and patted Vasita on the shoulder: "I'm going back to meditate too. That way I'll have more time to practice alchemy tonight."

"Damn it! Sylph, how come you're just like Moran?" Vasita complained.

Sylph remained unmoved: "Don't think I don't know you're planning the same thing."

Vasita, whose thoughts had been exposed: "..."

It's all because alchemy magic is so outdated. Who wouldn't want a cool and convenient flying broom and wand like Moran and Lilith's!

Moran unfurled a natural map of Earth in his mind, activating a massive amount of mental energy that quickly returned to normal within minutes.

After finishing her meditation, she started reading again.

About an hour later, she heard Lilith calling them to eat.

Moran closed the book, picked up Zizi, and walked out of the tent. Vasita and Sylph had just come out as well.

“Let’s go! Come to my place, dinner is ready!” Lilith looked very confident and expectant.

Even though she had already consulted the oracle about good and bad omens, and the outcome of this meal was neither good nor bad, Moran still couldn't help but ask curiously, "What delicious food did you make?"

“This is a dish I just learned to make recently, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed,” Lilith said.

Upon entering the restaurant on the second floor of Lilith's tent, the enormous, deep red cake on the table immediately caught their eye.

"Is this a raspberry cake?" Sylph saw raspberries and jam on the cake; although the color was a bit dark, it was definitely raspberries. "But what are these little white flowers?"

Moran looked at the few small white flowers decorating the cake with suspicion: "Could they be bloodsucking vine flowers? Can you really use that to make a cake?"

Vasita sniffed: "It smells delicious!"

"sure!
The flowers of the Vampire Vine can be used to make blood-replenishing potions. They smell sweet and have blood-replenishing effects, but they taste slightly bitter and are not very tasty.

However, I previously found a cookbook called "Potion Witch's Cookbook" in the clan library, which said that cranberries can mask the bitter taste of vampire vine flowers.

This cranberry blood-boosting cake was made according to that recipe.

I've tried it myself, and it was quite successful. It's also good for your health!

Its blood-replenishing effect is only slightly less than that of a blood-replenishing potion, but it also has an appetite-stimulating effect; the aroma of it is irresistible, drawing people closer and whetting their appetites.

Lilith cut a large slice for each of them: "Try it! I heard this cake is very popular among vampires! I sent one to my dad once, and he loved it..."
