Wanted Thief Accidentally Walks In!

The curl at the top stood proud, glossy and smooth, like the crown of a king.

Old Tiger Zhao leaned in.

He took one bite.

Then froze.

For a moment, the world stopped.

He tasted slowly, eyes wide, pupils quivering.

This wasn't just cold. It wasn't even close to the vanilla one.

That one had been creamy, light, with a faint milky sweetness and smooth finish.

This was rich.

Dense.

Velvety and decadent, with a depth that pulled him in like a spiral array.

The cold hugged his tongue, melted with a smooth glide, then left behind a bold, lingering flavor.

It wasn't simple chocolate - it was something more primal. Something with heat behind the cold.

Molten Nightshade Kucua.

A rare ingredient found only near the smoldering roots of the Molten Ashlands, where volcanic spirit and demonic beasts once bathed in lava and the soil shimmered with lingering flame essence.
