First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Big Surprise

Eldric’s expression softened once more into gentle amusement, a mischievous twinkle lighting his eyes as he laughed heartily, "Whatever she is, she clearly regards Orion as her father. Hahaha, I cannot wait to see how he explains this to us. It will be incredibly entertaining."

Selene gently elbowed Eldric’s ribs, giving him a reproachful glare filled with protective affection, "Don’t you dare embarrass my precious grandson."

Eldric’s grin turned even more wicked, clearly planning something devious as he declared playfully, "Hmm, the brat will take some days to reach the Capital. Stay here and watch over them carefully. Meanwhile, I’ll go prepare a nice surprise for his arrival!"

Before Selene could voice her protest, Eldric vanished swiftly, leaving her mildly stunned. Shaking her head helplessly, she muttered softly, "Is that old fellow finally approaching that critical breakthrough? Hmph, if he’d only been less playful in his youth, he’d have already reached it."

Smiling tenderly, Selene gazed fondly back at the heartwarming scene below.

Meanwhile, on the ground beneath the verdant canopy, Orion’s hands had completed his masterpiece.

The Tier 9 beast meat had transformed into an exquisite delicacy, its mouthwatering aroma wafting gently through the air, making even the nearby forest creatures pause curiously.

Orion carefully presented a portion to the eagerly waiting Lyra, who was practically bouncing in place with excitement, and kept a portion for himself.

Lyra quickly took her first bite, and her big emerald eyes immediately widened in pure bliss, her cheeks instantly puffing adorably as she chewed. "Mmm!" she exclaimed joyfully, eyes sparkling brightly, "Papa’s cooking is truly the best! So yummy!"

Orion smiled softly, now he could finally say with pride that his cooking was good and the taste was good not only due to the high grade of meat. He was a peerless genius himself with a monstrous comprehension, and he had spent over months learning and mastering the art of cooking.

At least among the Tier 9 and below Spirit Chefs, he would be among the top ones.

Looking at Lyra eating like this, he felt immense satisfaction and warmth filling his chest, gently patting her head affectionately. "Eat slowly, little glutton," he chided gently, but his eyes showed how pleased he truly felt.

Lyra giggled sweetly in response, thoroughly savoring every delicious bite.

Far above, hidden in the clouds, Selene’s eyes softened deeply seeing the warmth below. She murmured tenderly to herself, a warm, content smile on her lips, "I wonder how he’ll explain this little treasure to us when we meet... I’ll definitely tease him a little myself."

After finishing their meal beneath the shade of trees, Orion stood up leisurely, stretching his arms lightly as Lyra hopped energetically beside him, clearly satisfied and full of spirit.

The delicious spirit food seemed to have infused her small body with boundless energy, making her even more lively than usual.

"Did you enjoy the meal, Lyra?" Orion asked with a warm smile, gently ruffling her silky green hair.

Lyra nodded enthusiastically, her emerald eyes sparkling brightly. "Mm! It was delicious, papa! Lyra has never tasted anything so yummy!"

Chuckling softly at her adorable enthusiasm, Orion held her small hand and began walking steadily along the path toward the capital.

As they traveled, the scenery shifted around them, from lush forests filled with wildlife, to stretches of plains where tall grasses danced gracefully with each gentle breeze.

However, their journey was not completely peaceful. Along the way, Orion encountered multiple groups of bandits lurking in ambush, attempting to loot travelers or merchants passing by.

Without bothering to waste time with them, he decimated group after group of bandits. He had killed a lot of the high-ranking mana beasts of the surrounding area, making these ambushes easier for the bandits.
