Chapter 67: The Mystery of the Disappearing Ingredients

After eating, Seraphina stood up and straightened her clothes.

“I have some things to do. You can amuse yourself here for a while,” she said to Felicia.

“What things?” Felicia asked curiously.

“Just some training, to stretch my limbs.”

“Can I come along?” Felicia remembered the time she and Seraphina had sparred in the training room before.

Even though she had cheated and still lost…

“Guess?” Seraphina didn’t answer directly, just gave her a meaningful smile. “If you want to train, you don’t have to do it in the training hall. You can train anywhere, like on the bed.”

“What are you even thinking about?!” Felicia’s cheeks flushed. She snapped back to reality and glared fiercely at Seraphina, her body tensed.

If one had to describe Felicia’s current state in four words, it would be ‘about to hiss.’

“Hehe, I’m done teasing you. See you later.” With those words, Seraphina vanished instantly.

Now Felicia had no target left to hiss at, even if she wanted to.

“Tch… so improper,” Felicia muttered quietly, looking in the direction of the training room.

Since Seraphina was going to the training room, Felicia naturally… naturally decided to take a stroll around the castle or the garden to relax.

Seraphina was only going to train, not go out on business. Even if Felicia stepped out of the castle with her left foot, Seraphina would sense it and drag her back.

After that would probably be some unpleasant consequences, or being locked in the dark room.

The dark room was truly unbearable. Every time Felicia thought of it, she shuddered three times.

Since escape was impossible, Felicia could only wander around the castle aimlessly.

There wasn’t much to see anyway, since she had already walked through the castle more than once and was familiar with every place.

So what she usually looked at wasn’t the scenery, but the people.

Of course, that was the refined way to put it.

There was also a less refined way, which was…

Gossiping.

For example, right now Felicia was crouching by the kitchen door, quietly eavesdropping on Yunwu and Yunyu talking inside.

Did this count as being a paparazzo?

Felicia thought about it seriously for a moment.

She finally concluded that since Yunwu and Yunyu weren’t idols and she didn’t have a team, it didn’t count.

Felicia nodded and then safely continued spying… oh no, eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Sister, sister! Big trouble!” That was Yunyu’s voice.

“What happened again?” Yunwu’s rather helpless voice replied.

“Classic opening,” Felicia commented.

Whenever she came to eavesdrop in the kitchen, she always heard Yunyu’s ‘big trouble,’ but in the end, the incident was either a missing kitchen knife or having missed a meal time.

Well… missing a meal time was indeed a big deal.

Felicia quietly opened the kitchen door. She not only wanted to eavesdrop on what the sisters were saying, but also wanted to peek.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fun.

She made very little noise and had cast a sound-dampening spell, so the sisters didn’t notice her.

“This time it really is a big deal,” Yunyu emphasized.

“Mm-hmm, go ahead and say it.” Yunwu nodded. She wouldn’t believe a word until Yunyu actually said what it was.

“I just went to the back kitchen to check the ingredient inventory, and I found that the ingredients are almost gone!” Yunyu said anxiously.

“…” Yunwu, who had been relaxed a moment ago, sat up straight, placed her hands on her legs, and her expression turned serious.

“This really is a big deal.”

“But I’m very puzzled. I remember we calculated before that these ingredients would last more than a month. It hasn’t even been a month yet, so how did this happen?” Yunwu raised a new question.

Yunwu had a good grasp of how much ingredients everyone in the castle consumed each month. She wouldn’t suddenly buy too much or too little.

If she couldn’t even manage such a small matter, she might as well not work the next day.

“I don’t know either. Thinking about who’s new in the castle recently, it’s only Miss Felicia…” Yunyu replied.

“Ah, maybe that’s the crux of the problem.” Yunwu had found the key point.

“Before Miss Felicia came, there wasn’t any big issue with the ingredient quota, was there?” Yunwu asked.

“Mm-hmm,” Yunyu nodded.

“And this problem only appeared after Miss Felicia arrived?” Yunwu asked again.

“That’s right!” Yunyu slapped her forehead.

“Do I really eat that much?” Felicia suddenly poked her head in from outside the door.

Did she really eat that much?

No, right?

Felicia began to doubt her own eating habits and started to recall carefully.

In the end, she concluded that she had forgotten, but it seemed she didn’t eat much.

“!” Both Yunwu and Yunyu were startled.

If this were on Blue Star, Yunwu might have muttered ‘speak of the devil,’ but this was the Tianqi Continent, and there was no such saying here.

So Yunwu was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.

“G-good morning…” Yunwu couldn’t think of anything else to say, so she just greeted Felicia.

“Good morning.” Felicia nodded. “So, do I really eat that much?”

“I don’t know. Ask Yunyu.” Yunyu decisively shifted the blame.

“Ah… ah…?” Yunyu hadn’t caught up yet. She looked at her sister, then at Felicia standing by the door.

What happened?

That was Yunyu’s first reaction.

“I, I don’t know either!” Yunyu waved her hands, trying to brush it off.

“Hmm…” Felicia lowered her head, seeming to be thinking about something.

The truth was, Felicia did eat a lot. Although she looked like a soft and cute silver-haired girl, she was actually a dragon, and her appetite was many times that of a human.

Usually, when Felicia said she was full, it just meant she didn’t want to eat anymore.

This meant that the amount she ate each day was inconsistent—sometimes just a few times more than a normal person, sometimes dozens of times more.

If she were to eat at a buffet, she might actually drive the buffet owner bankrupt.

Unfortunately, she herself wasn’t aware of this and still thought she didn’t eat much.

Well… dozens of portions of a person’s food really wasn’t much for a dragon, so Felicia’s assumption wasn’t entirely wrong.

It could only be said that this was a racial disparity.

“Ah, wait a minute. Since the ingredients aren’t enough now, you should be going out to buy more, right?” Felicia raised a new question.

Yunwu and Yunyu exchanged glances and nodded.

“That seems right. But this hasn’t happened before, and the ingredients were consumed so quickly that we didn’t react in time,” Yunwu nodded.

“Then I have a request.” Felicia’s expression turned serious.

“Miss, please speak freely!” It was Yunyu who responded.

“When you go out to buy ingredients, can you take me with you?”

As soon as Felicia finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. The three of them stood in silence.
