I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1613 - 1617: That’s a Different Price

"All meals included?" The dragon's eyes showed a look of bewilderment.

Due to different life structures, their way of absorbing energy is completely different from humans.

For humans, although the advanced life forms can already maintain their basic life needs by using the energy from the air directly, this gift for humans is not innate but acquired through practice.

Therefore, in childhood, humans need to rely on eating to absorb energy for the body's consumption.

But these demon clan members are different. Their bodies can inherently rely on this special micro-structure called "Paratrooper No. 1" to decompose energy on their own, so for them, they don't need to eat from childhood, and the concept of "eating" doesn't even exist.

"You've never tasted food, have you?" Zhang Menglong was rather surprised, even top-level life forms, even if they don't need to eat to maintain life, they still need to satisfy their cravings. There's simply no such thing as someone who has never tasted food.

However, these discoveries made Zhang Menglong rather delighted.

"Why don't you try some of our human food?"

Zhang Menglong sealed the dragon with a temporary formation. The "Will Kill You Three Thousand" on him would take a long time to wear off, giving Zhang Menglong plenty of time to do many things.

"What's Brother Zhang up to?" Everyone looked at Zhang Menglong in confusion.

They understood why he didn't finish off the enemy earlier – to test the power of his potion with an experiment.

But now? He's clearly got the results he wanted. So why hasn't he completely exterminated the dragon?

"I get it. Brother Zhang must have used some method to temporarily boost his power, and now he can't maintain that power anymore!" Drake pointed out directly.

"What do we do? If the potion's effect wears off, wouldn't the dragon regain its strength?"

"Brother Zhang isn't short-sighted," Drake said, "He must have another plan. Look, he's preparing something. I bet he's got some big weapon up his sleeve."

"Wait, Your Majesty, we know you trust Mr. Zhang, but why is he taking out a big iron pot? Is that his big weapon?"

Zhang Menglong started a fire on the ground and brought out a giant iron pot, big enough to stew a Kun, clearly setting up to cook!

"This...I can't make sense of it." Drake was still perplexed about what Zhang Menglong intended to do. He always acted unpredictably, defying logic.

"Could he be planning to cook a meal?"

"I think so too. Look, he's already adding spices!"

"Dugu Nine Swords!" Zhang Menglong took out a sword, swiftly chopping a bunch of ingredients into the iron pot.

Then, he brought out a giant ocean Warcraft corpse, summoned Strange Fire to extract fish oil.

Then, using the fish oil to coat another Warcraft corpse, he deep-fried it in the strange fire.

"First, roast it with Samadhi True Fire until crispy," Zhang Menglong muttered while working, cutting lines into the Warcraft's body with his sword.

"Deboning!"

"Pork belly!"

"Ribeye!"

Pieces of high-quality meat were cut from the Warcraft by Zhang Menglong and tossed into the iron pot, releasing a rich aroma along with the spices.

"Hiss! Smells amazing!"

Of all the people here, only Drake had tasted Zhang Menglong's culinary skills before – unforgettable for a lifetime. Drake dared to say, no one in this world could cook better than Zhang Menglong.

"Human, don't think you can make me eat willingly. Even if I die, struck down here by you, I'd never betray my race!" The dragon, lacking digestive organs, found no allure in the food.

But Zhang Menglong of course had his ways.

"Soul Transfer Technique!" Zhang Menglong performed his masterpiece again.

The dragon's physique was strong, but its spiritual power was not particularly strong, especially in such a weakened state. Its spiritual power was similar to an ordinary level nine perfect life form at best.

Zhang Menglong gained control of its body in an instant.

A few minutes later, Zhang Menglong learned the body's control method from its memory.

Under his control, the dragon's body gradually developed intestines, esophagus, and other organs, and even Zhang Menglong enhanced the sensitivity of its taste buds several times!

"Human, what have you done to my body?" The dragon looked at Zhang Menglong in horror.

"Nothing, just letting you enjoy some of humans' pleasures!"

The structures in the dragon's body entered a weakened state. The recent operations exhausted its stored separation capabilities, so it had to endure the effects of its new body for now.

"Don't worry, no matter what you do to me, I will not bow. I will never submit to humans!"

Suddenly, a strong aroma rushed into its nose, heavily stimulating its taste buds, making the dragon feel intoxicated.

"What is this smell?"

The taste buds controlled a series of organs in its body, making it curious about that pot's contents, drooling uncontrollably. For a dragon first experiencing a desire for food, the draw was lethal.

Like a devil whispering in its head, telling it to eat what's in front of it.

"Hahaha, look, he looks like a dog!" Zhang Menglong pointed at the dragon and said.

He picked up a huge ladle, bringing a piece of meat along with the delicious broth right in front of the dragon's eyes.

The dragon drooled, its eyes not willing to move away from the food for even a moment.

"Do you want to eat?" Zhang Menglong asked.

The dragon only managed an animalistic growl.

Zhang Menglong poured the broth into its mouth, and at that moment, the dragon seemed to push open the door to a new world – the delicate texture, the rich flavor, the chewy meat...

"Delicious!"

The dragon savored the taste of the meat soup, though it was just a small piece, the deliciousness quickly faded and disappeared from its mouth, leaving it wanting more.

"Want more?"

The dragon nodded, now willing to do anything if only it could get more of that delicious food.

"Just let me taste one more bite, and I'll do anything you ask!"

"What if I ask you to help us eradicate the demon clan?"

"They're my kin, and you want me to kill my own kin?" The dragon gritted its teeth and said, "Among the demon clan, we are united; internal strife never happens!"

"Well, well, a tough nut!" Zhang Menglong was about to continue, but the dragon interrupted.

"That's a separate price!" The dragon continued, "Unless you provide me with such a meal every day! No, two meals!"
