Rise of the White Dragon

"Good morning, Luan." Nora said with a closed-eyed smile as she waved at him.

Luan returned the smile and said while making an egg omelet: "Good morning, Nora."

Nora looked at what Luan was doing, seeing that there were buns and ham on the table, she said, "I'm going to wash some vegetables, okay?"

"Please." Luan nodded.

Nora laughed a little as she picked up the vegetables.

It was unusual for her to eat something after she woke up. After all, he hadn't needed to do such a thing in a long time. However, she knew of Luan's custom, even before, when Luan was in the Sixth Order, he still ate whenever he could. Although quite a while since he disappeared in recent years, she still tries to keep this custom, after a few years, she had stopped.

Thinking about the past, made her have several memories, she ended up laughing to herself, making Luan look at her.

"Hehe~ It's not a big deal, just thinking of something funny~" She said with a giggle.

"Oh..." Luan nodded not caring too much. He knew if she wanted to talk about what it was, she'd said, so he didn't ask.

There were some canned jars, Nora took two of them, one for pickles and one for quail eggs.

After washing the lettuce, she washed and sliced tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The lettuces she left underneath, while she cut the rest into slices and placed them in the shape of a flower. The quail eggs were in the center of the core of the flower.

After seasoning, she took it to the table.

At this point, Luan also finished making the omelet for them.

"Good morning~" Lenore said as soon as she arrived. She was half asleep as she rubbed her eyes.

"Good morning, you arrived at the right time." Luan asked, "Hungry?"

"Mm, a little." Lenore nodded, then she put her hand in front of her mouth and yawned, "I'll wash my face then."

"Do it." Nora smiled at her.

Not long after, Luan, Lenore, and Nora were around the dinner table.

Despite the few seemingly simple things, the smell was delicious. In essence, it was because they were somewhat rare items, as they were at least Fourth Order.

Nora finished putting what she liked on the bread and took a bite. Her expression lit up and became filled with a seductive glow... Honestly, it was so captivating that it was hard to look away.

Seeing this, Lenore was stunned. 'What's going on with Mom? I mean... since yesterday, she's been acting more seductively than usual, now I see how she's acting while eating... Is she trying to seduce her father?'

Luan, on the other hand, laughed and said when Nora finished chewing, "Nora, you're still the same. It reminded me of when we first met and I first made food for us to eat."

Nora looks happy to hear this. She didn't expect him to still remember something that happened so long ago, smiling she said, "Yes, it was the first time I had eaten something so tasty~"

"Was it that good?" Lenore swallowed what she was chewing and began to imagine what could be so tasty that her mother still remembers it.

Knowing it was from the beginning that her parents met, Lenore knew it was many years ago.

Luan laughed in response: "It wasn't anything that amazing. However, I think it tasted splendid because we had been trapped in a tomb for a long time without eating anything, and when we finally got out, we managed to hunt a wild boar and I prepared it. In fact, it was delicious, but it was more because of hunger."

"Of course." Nora shook her head in disagreement: "Even though we were very hungry, it was still thanks to you that you managed to make the boar meat so tasty. After all, it wasn't the first time I'd gone this long without eating, but even after eating something even more luxurious than a Third Order wild boar, nothing compares to that day."

'Mom... I bet it was that good because it was made by the man you love, yes?' Of course, Lenore didn't dare say it out loud.

Luan smiled but didn't deny it. He knew how stubborn Nora could be… Continuing to argue wouldn't do any good.

As soon as they finished eating, Lenore offered to clear the table.

Luan and Nora went outside to enjoy the breeze provided by the Leviathan.

It took a long time, but they finally started to see the city where the auction would be held.

Although it says the city, it is still bigger than many countries on earth. By Luan's calculations, he determined that there was approximately 9 million km².

If it weren't for the wide view and because the curvature of the planet from the 50th floor of the tower was wider, it wouldn't have been possible for him to have an entire view of the city.

Around the city, very large and robust walls were built. There were guards on the towers and at least 100 existing towers.

Just at that moment, there were new people arriving in the city, an iron gate opened for the luxurious carriage to enter. From what Luan saw from afar, every time someone was going to enter, they went through an evaluation and had to pay a price in credits.

'There was no such city before. It must be this Emperor who created this city.' Luan held his chin with a deep look: 'The way you're dealing with things and even the barrier that surrounds the city is very good, I hardly found any faults. Mmm, I don't remember hearing about this Emperor, however, not all Emperors were famous, but I know that doesn't mean they are weak...'

Although I was a little impressed and a little curious about this Emperor. It was just that. It might be a surprising thing for other people, but for Luan who has experienced many genius emperors among the geniuses, it wasn't all that surprising.

In all cases, he was more interested in the auction and getting items that will be useful to him and his family.
