Lien, Red Panda Princess stage 2 (Patreon)

Lien has reached her second stage and become a Red Panda Princess! That means STORY TIME!

----------------------------------------------------

Lien didn't have much hope for the competition. She could smell fear emanating from the fat-breasted bimbos, stupidly jacked amazons, and hot-topic rejects that were trying to pass for 'chefs' - and fear was a bitter seasoning. The first round, fortunately, seemed so easy that they couldn't possibly spoil it; a morning pick-me-up didn't exactly require a tour de force of culinary talent.   

A pick-me-up was exactly what Lien needed, though. She'd felt almost helplessly weak since that greasy merchant helped her out of the morph lake, and she didn't much like the idea of staying that way. Even worse, the only thing she clearly remembered from before waking up in the pod was Subi's tits tumbling towards her...and she did not like what that memory preceding waking up in another world implied.  

Fortunately, the...goblin?...merchant had kept her busy enough to keep her mind off of the shame of her squishy end. Lien didn't know how he'd realized she knew how to cook, but his recommendation to 'make a great first impression' on the cooking contest participants had kept her busy for the whole past evening. That, at least, still felt comfortingly familiar...but she still couldn't decide if the weird little facial spasms the merchant had kept making at her were winks, or some kind of disorder. Either way he'd been a surprisingly helpful assistant, providing her with all of the ingredients she needed, as well as a hot flame and a well-forged wok.

Cooking for them had another benefit besides keeping Lien occupied. Gauging their reactions to her cooking techniques and the dishes she produced had told her all she needed to know about these so-called 'master chefs'. Awe. Ecstasy. Terror. These were not the reactions she would expect from anyone more seasoned than an apprentice, and certainly not from a master. If she'd entered the contest, Lien would have been the uncontested victor.  

Which was, of course, why the other chefs had insisted she judge the competition instead. The judge had to be impartial, and thus could not participate. Lien had hoped to take the grand prize - the supposedly legendary 'Unalloyed Golden Chiffon cake' - for herself after winning. It represented the sort of power boost that could produce all of the muscles and curves the master chefs sported, and then some...but they'd cheated her out of it.   

Thus, Lien's violent glare as the first round of morning drinks were set in front of her. She dismissed them in quick succession, rejecting every one until only three minimally passable drinks remained: The 'Sunkiss Fruit Tea' of the Bimbo Knight Delegation, the 'Midnight Crème Coffee' of the Dark Sorceress's Coven, and the 'Fang Kombucha' of the Beast-Breaker Amazons. With the other failures dismissed, Lien sampled each of the drinks...  

...and her head went a little bit fuzzy. It was a blur of gulping and bliss, starting with the kombucha, and moving on to the coffee. She'd felt her body grow taller, and stronger, fine fur sprouting on her arms and legs...and then she'd felt herself grow thicker and rounder, her hair deepening in dark hue. A wild playfulness wormed its way up onto suddenly plump lips, driving back her frown - and then she'd tried the tea.

Lien had drunk all of it. Every last drop - and with each swallow, she'd felt her breasts well, her ass flex, and her thighs thicken. Her hips had widened, as her hair grew long and glossy, and her skin darkened with a sun-kissed tan. Pale lines of flesh remained, as if Lien had gotten her tan at a beach instead of from a drink - but she wasn't much in a mood to worry about that by the time she finished with the tea.   

When she set her glass down, Lien giggled a little at how silly the chefs were. If they could make drinks like this, they totally weren't just scum like she'd thought! They were talented! They just needed someone to, like...guide them a little bit. Like a teacher. Or a princess! She liked that idea.  

That last thought made her new red panda ears twitch and set her tail fluffing back and forth - for indeed, she had fully taken on the aspect of a red panda on top of her new bimbo curves. She smiled warmly as her fabulously cute tail curled around her for a moment, and then swished free. She was so cute, now - cute and fierce, just not in a threatening way!  

Thoughts came bubbling into her head as she stood up, and swung her new, enormously full hips from one side to the other, stretching her transformed dress tight across them. The merchant had totally mentioned something about patrons giving her boons, right? Maybe all these sudden changes were because of that - but she was so okay with it, if they were! They were going to make her a princess...a princess to be adored and feared, just like how the chefs feared and adored her already! 

"The fruit tea wins!" Lien laughed, issuing her first decree. "One point to the bimbo knights!"
