Chapter 889 You Can't Calculate Like That
"Oh, I was just thinking... Is the Dragon clan's food delicious? I am a picky eater, you know!" Ivy came up with an excuse casually.
"It must be delicious! Come, let me take you to eat." The Dragon King laughed heartily.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, the Phoenix King had already poured the wine. "You're here! Take a seat!" he said.
Thinking about what Aragha had said, Ivy suddenly felt a bit nervous. She had to return to the Spirit Realm in fifteen minutes. She realized that the time she had spent talking and walking had delayed her by two minutes, leaving only thirteen minutes left to eat, drink, and learn thirty-six spells. Time was really tight.
Either she could do both simultaneously or she could shorten the mealtime.
After Ivy sat down, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up her rice bowl, and started eating.
The Dragon King and the Phoenix King held up their wine glasses, feeling a bit disappointed.
They were just about to propose a toast with Ivy!
"Ivy, don't just eat. Have a few drinks first!" the Dragon King said.
"Yeah, have some wine first," the Phoenix King reminded.
Both of them extended their wine glasses in front of Ivy.
Feeling a bit awkward, Ivy, with her mouth full of food, picked up the wine glass and lightly bit her lip symbolically.
Then she put down the glass and continued eating.
She devoured her food as if she had been hungry for many years, not stopping for a second.
The Dragon King and the Phoenix King shook their heads helplessly, clinked glasses with each other, and finished their wine in one gulp.
"Let's eat too. Ivy is almost full!" the Dragon King said, picking up his chopsticks.
The Phoenix King hadn't drunk enough yet and pouted, saying, "Ivy, why are you eating so fast? Are you hungry or in a hurry to do something?"
"Hungry... so hungry!" Ivy, with her mouth full of food, mumbled, "In the Heavenly Realm, one day is equivalent to a year in the mortal world. When I was in the mortal world, I had to eat at least three meals a day, and every five hours I had to eat. Here in the Heavenly Realm, if I eat one minute late, it's like I've been hungry for six hours in the mortal world. How can I not be hungry?"
It seemed like she had a point!
The Dragon King and the Phoenix King were speechless.
The Dragon King poured himself another glass and suggested, "How about this, during the time you stay in the Dragon King's palace, every fifteen minutes, I will have someone prepare a feast for you."
After struggling to swallow the food in her mouth, Ivy took a few more bites, spewing rice all over her mouth, and said, "In your realm, fifteen minutes is equivalent to four days and four nights in the mortal world. In four days in the mortal world, I would eat twelve meals, not counting snacks or late-night snacks. But when I come here, you only give me one meal in four days. Isn't that inhumane?"
"But... it's not calculated like that..." the Dragon King said. "You've become a celestial being now, with divine constitution. You won't starve to death and can control your appetite moderately!"
"I, I only have one stomach. Why should my stomach be mistreated? Why..."
"Why argue with oneself?" Ivy finished eating, wiped her mouth, and stood up.
"I have finished eating, how much longer do you guys need?"
The Dragon King and Phoenix King looked at each other helplessly!
Normally, they would drink for at least an hour, and the longest they have ever drank was three days and three nights, which equated to three years in the mortal realm.
Just as the Phoenix King was about to speak, Ivy interrupted, "By the way, you both have been immortals for tens of thousands of years, so you can control your appetites. Unlike me, who just became an immortal and can't control it."
So what does this woman want to do?
Ivy glanced at the time and realized there were still eight minutes left, meaning there were two days left in the mortal realm before Green Day arrived.
She cleared her throat hastily, "Dragon King, can you teach me the 36 spells?"
The Dragon King finally understood why Ivy was eating so quickly. "Ivy, you little rascal..."
"Don't say so many prefaces, just tell me the spells! How do I cultivate the thirty-sixth spell?" Ivy had already taken the initiative to start the conversation, leaving the Dragon King with no choice but to comply.
