The Cat Lamp Witch could exploit cats so long as it was [not excessive]. As for where the line for [not excessive] lay...
Jiang Han only needed to keep an eye on Histeria. Xiya possessed quite an exceptional talent for grasping the bottom line. As long as Jiang Han stayed in sync with her, she could be sure she would not draw Ovi's censure, or be reported by other Giant Cat Lamps, and so on.
After she had posted the commission, the dwarven witch brought out the food as well.
A large basket of freshly baked white bread, its crust brushed with premium butter and giving off an utterly enticing fragrance;
Viser coffee bubbled and gurgled like molten lava, making it easy to imagine just how spicy it tasted;
Viser cheese, another Viser dwarven specialty, had a rich milky aroma, a delicate outer layer almost like rice cake, and a color that seemed to be constantly melting away. Paired with the Viser liquor set beside it specifically for drizzling over this cheese, it practically flashed a bright sign at you: 'One bite, and you'll arrive at Mount Celestia to eat, drink, and play';
The pan-fried meat was made from excellent slices of pork, seared with dragon fat and garlic butter until slightly charred yet tender, looking as though it had lost none of its texture;
Finally, there was the hamburger steak—a truly enormous serving, an extra-thick patty served on a platter the size of half a table, heaped with carrot mash and oil cracklings fried to an unhealthy degree! It was simply a delicacy no witch could refuse.
Jiang Han swallowed with difficulty, picked up her knife and fork, and first gave the food a sniff with her keen nose. Then a blissful, dazed expression appeared on her face.
