The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 409 Traveling in the Rain
The next morning at 6:30, the agreed-upon wake-up time.

Those reading, practicing magic, and crafting magical items all stopped what they were doing and came out of their tents at the same time.

Moran looked at them, dressed the same as yesterday, with the same hairstyle, and looking just as radiant as she did, showing no signs of having just woken up: "Didn't you sleep?"

"I wasn't asleep." ×3
“Meditation is really effective. Meditating for forty minutes makes me feel better than sleeping all night,” Lilith said. “Now I understand why sorcerers are so knowledgeable.”

“I know that too,” Vasita said. “Because they use meditation instead of sleeping. They spend 23 hours a day studying and the rest of the time meditating.”

Sylph nodded emphatically: "We must be extremely careful when we go among humans. Every human who can develop meditation as a substitute for sleep must be just like Moran..." terrifying.

She swallowed the last two words, but Lilith and Vasita both understood her meaning instantly.

"???" Moran felt like she was being subtly insulted: "What did I do?"

"Let's go! Sylph, let's send the burrowing mushrooms back to the surface! Everyone pack up your tents, we're ready to go! We'll have breakfast on the flying carpet!"

Lilith changed the subject as she quickly slipped back into her mushroom house.

Then quickly separate your Burrowing Mushroom from Sylph's and burrow into the ground.

Vasita and Sylph went to pack up their tents and talk to the burrowing mushrooms, respectively.

Moran: "..."

After turning the tent back into a tent card and putting it away, the Mushroom House returned to the ground. A small door opened in the wall, and Moran and the others filed out.

Vasita looked at the dim sky: "It's not even dawn yet."

“It shouldn’t be this bad this time of year!” Lilith said. “The water element in the air is quite strong. Is it because we’re getting close to Emerald Creek Plain, or because…”

"This morning, this area experienced three hours of heavy rain, but thankfully, there was no thunder." Moran had already used his weather-predicting magic to predict the weather: "The rain will start in ten minutes."

"Quick, quick! Little mushroom! Shrink back into the planting pot!" Lilith hurriedly took out the planting pot and used her alien magic to urge the burrowing mushroom back into the pot: "Little vine, hurry back too! It's going to rain."

Sylph's Burrowing Mushroom doesn't need any prompting; as soon as Sylph takes the planting pot out, it jumps back into it on its own.

Bier sniffed: "Fufu, I smell blood!"

"The smell of blood?" Sylph immediately became alert.

“There!” Bi’er said, pointing to the spot where the vampire vine was rooted.

Zizi unzipped the bag and poked its head out from Moran's handbag, pointing at that spot: "Zizi! Dead!"
The little vine, which had just shrunk and was about to jump back into the planting pot, nervously tugged at the turf it had ruffled.

Lilith immediately knew what had happened: "Don't worry, Little Vine hunted some flesh and blood last night, and the leftover bone fragments are probably still buried in the ground!"

Sylph breathed a sigh of relief.

Lilith put away the burrowing mushrooms and vampire vines, then took out the flying carpet and activated its windproof and rainproof shield: "Everyone, hurry up and get on! The rain is coming soon."

All four boarded the flying carpet, which slowly rose into the air. Before they had flown more than a hundred meters, large raindrops began to pour down from the clouds.

However, this did not affect the four witches on the flying carpet in the slightest.

Vasida used a light spell to create a ball of illumination, which floated high above their heads.

This small area on the flying carpet became the only bright haven amidst the dark clouds and torrential rain.

"This feeling is pretty good!" Sylph said, looking at the rain outside the shield.

“It’s the same reason why rainy days are perfect for staying home and sleeping,” Moran said. “That makes sense, but… Moran, do you really stay home and sleep on rainy days instead of reading?” Vasita asked in surprise.

Lilith set the flight path and made the flying carpet fly forward automatically, guessing, "It must be a past life!"

Moran nodded.

Only someone who hasn't experienced the apocalypse could be both weak and relaxed.

"Ahem! Are you hungry?" Lilith pulled out a large frying pan. "Today's breakfast is a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) that I learned to make from a recipe on Earth!"

"Senior, how many cookbooks have you read?" Vasita asked in surprise.

"When you're craving something delicious, just flip through a recipe and try some new dishes!"

As Lilith took out tools and ingredients, she said, "I've made this so many times, I can use cooking magic to do it. I guarantee it will taste even better than last night's cake."

"Blue Star cuisine! That should be good." Sylph and Bea both felt a sense of anticipation.

Moran glanced at the pot, sensing something was amiss: "Are we using this pot?"

"The {Mobile Kitchenware Card} doesn't have a matching iron plate, but this frying pan will do; it can rotate on its own!"

Lilith also transformed her wand into a ring shape, gently moved her hand, and used cooking magic. The kitchen utensils in the middle of the flying carpet started moving on their own.

Lilith is right. As long as the pan can rotate on its own and you control the heat and the amount of oil, you can make jianbing guozi in a frying pan.

It looks quite decent!

It seems that Lilith has her own understanding of the sauce-brushing step.

“We have cranberry jam, Blue Star salad dressing, ketchup, honey ghee… Which one do you want? Or all of them?” Lily asked.

Sylph: "Bille and I both want cranberry sauce, with extra greens."

“Then I’ll have Blue Star salad dressing!” Vasita said.

“Molan, what about you? I highly recommend the honey butter flavor! I absolutely love it!” Lilith said.

Moran: "..."

She knew about the honey ghee that Lilith mentioned. Unlike the mixture of honey and ghee from Blue Star, Valen's honey ghee came from a magical beast called the Oil Bullet Bee.

It is a honey oil with a special taste, made by pressing honey and honeycomb from oil bees.

The usage is similar to that of jam; it's spread on bread.

The taste and texture are actually quite good, but it's sweet!

Sweet jianbing guozi? I can hardly believe it! Moran quickly asked, "Don't you have any salty or spicy sauce?"

“Yes! Blue Star Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, do you want this?” Lilith said.

Although it's not quite as good as the sauce Moran wanted to make herself, Lao Gan Ma is still better than honey and ghee: "I'll take this!"

"Okay!" Lilith took out the hot sauce with some disappointment.

A jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) is spread with different sauces in different places, wrapped up, and then cut into four large portions and one small portion.

They were given the flavors they had chosen: "Eat these first, the second one will be ready soon!"
