Is this what booger balls taste like?
Or is she actually a booger eater? The old number eight in the food world?
Just when she began to doubt her life.
I saw Ueno Chiki holding her stomach and laughing uncontrollably. Her body was shaking and she was almost laughing to the point of tears.
"Hahaha, you don't think I'm really that perverted! Those are just dumplings I made with a little seasoning added to them. Hahaha!"
After hearing his voice, everyone present realized that this was a prank. Thinking of Yingmei's complicated expression just now, they all laughed at the same time.
For a moment, the whole room became a sea of joy.
Only Yingmei stared at Ueno Chiki in anger and shame.
snort!
Bastard, just wait for me!
After the laughter died down, Yingmei also took out a black ball made of unknown substance.
"As we all know, the Hill people usually don't take baths. When they get dirty, they rub their bodies with their hands, and as they rub, they rub a ball. The black ball in my hand is the dirt rubbed out by the Hill King. It is a rare treasure."
"Traveler, you are not also a dumpling, are you?" Xiao Gong looked doubtful.
Yingmei shook her head decisively, "I'm not a bad person like Qianshu. I never cheat."
Paimon looked at Yingmei with a strange expression. As far as she knew, Yingmei had never collected the dirt of the Hilliard King.
If it's not the Hilliard King's, could it be?
She didn't dare to think any further.
Yingmei reached out her hand to the tray and activated her elemental vision the moment she touched the wooden sign. Just now, while everyone was laughing, she secretly left an elemental mark on Ueno Chiki's wooden sign.
She turned over the wooden card she drew, and as expected, it was Chiki Ueno.
Every cause has its consequences, and I will be your retribution.
Ueno Chiki even wanted to die. The dirt of the Hilliel King was too disgusting.
Yingmei sneered and put the black ball into the pot, "Qianshu, come on, this little baby is guaranteed to make you feel great!"
However, what happened next made her unable to laugh anymore.
I saw the flame under the hot pot suddenly became stronger, the water temperature in the hot pot continued to rise, and the black ball melted in an instant.
Ueno Chiki spread his hands and pretended to be helpless, "What a pity, I don't have the chance to taste your black ball."
Yingmei was so angry that her teeth were itching. She took great effort to shape the scraped ash into a ball, but it was all in vain.
Ueno Chiki, I will remember this grudge.
After the strange-tasting hotpot was over, Thomas arranged for someone to replace the soup and put the ingredients prepared in advance on the table.
Before long, the rich flavors of the chili in the pot and the fresh ingredients intertwined in a mouth-watering way.
As the soup in the hot pot boils, the whole room is filled with a happy atmosphere.
Everyone stared at the pot, and when the ingredients floated up, they concentrated on scooping them up, dipping them in the fragrant sauce, and then putting them into their mouths.
Among the many ingredients, Ueno Chiki found a plate of tripe. In his previous life, he particularly liked hot pot tripe.
He picked up a piece of tripe with chopsticks with great interest and dipped it in the boiling pot twice. When the tripe was fully absorbed by the spicy and fragrant soup, he was full of anticipation and prepared to take it out and enjoy it.
However, at this moment, an accident happened. Yingmei beside him suddenly stretched out the chopsticks in her hand and placed them accurately between him and the tripe.
He watched helplessly as she scooped up the piece of tripe effortlessly, and could only give up helplessly and start over.
But who would have thought that, time and again, no matter how carefully he ate the tripe, it would eventually be taken away by Yingmei again. Every time he thought he could enjoy the food, Yingmei would reach out her chopsticks at lightning speed, and the tripe would always be snatched away by her as if it was destined by fate.
This made him feel a little depressed, but he could only smile bitterly.
But Yingmei was smiling happily, like a general who had won a battle.
"Traveler, can't you make your own tripe? Why do you always come to steal mine?" Ueno Chiki finally couldn't help it and protested to Yingmei.
"Qianshu, I think the tripe you made is more fragrant." Yingmei acted as if it was a matter of course, not feeling the slightest bit guilty about her "bullying".
"Really? Then Qianshu, can you also help me cook some tripe?" Kamisato Ayaka looked at him expectantly.
"Brother Qianshu, I also want the tripe you made." Xiaogong also said.
Ueno Chiki sighed helplessly and started to shabu-shabu the tripe. He shabu-shabued it just right. The tripe trembled slightly between the chopsticks and exuded a fresh, fragrant and spicy flavor.
Yingmei, Xiao Gong, and Kamisato Ayaka looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. Their eyes were more serious than ever, and they seemed to be silently telling each other: I will never give in.
He had just finished shabu-shabuing a piece of tripe when he saw three girls take action at the same time. Their chopsticks were as fast as lightning, picking up the tripe accurately.
"I am Qianshu's fiancée!" Kamisato Ayaka was the first to attack the two of them.
"Brother Qianshu and I have a deep relationship!" Xiaogong was not to be outdone.
"I'm sleeping with Qianshu!"
Kamisato Ayaka and Xiao Gong widened their eyes and loosened their chopsticks unconsciously, allowing Yingmei to win in the end.
"You guys actually?!"
"Traveler, please don't say things that can easily cause misunderstanding." Ueno Chiki was helpless about Yingmei's shameless behavior.
Then, turning to Kamisato Ayaka and Yoshimiya, he explained, "The traveler is staying at my house temporarily. We are just sleeping in the same room."
Chapter 48 Saving Thomas
Since the last rescue of Master Masakatsu, things have been peaceful for several days and Ueno Chiki has been living a leisurely time.
However, the sudden eye-hunting ceremony broke this leisure.
The general and Tianling Fengxing are preparing to use the hunting ceremony of the 100th Eye of God to prove the interim results of the Eye Hunting Order.
The target of the 100th Eye of God is none other than Thomas, the society's housekeeper.
Normally, the targets of the Eye Hunting Order are mostly civilians, and rarely involve the top leaders of the Three Envoys.
This time, the Tianling Bugyo chose Thomas as his target to warn the meddling She Bugyo.
Inside the quiet and elegant wooden teahouse.
After learning that Thomas was arrested, Kamisato Ayaka was in a state of panic. She paced back and forth to ease her worries.
Ueno Chiki, Yingmei and Paimon also frowned, thinking about how to rescue Thomas.
"No, I must save him." Kamisato Ayaka could no longer care about anything else at this moment. To her, Thomas, who had always taken care of her, was like a brother.
"Ms. Linghua, calm down. Don't be impulsive. You are the White Egret Princess of the Kamisato family."
Ueno Chiki, who understood the development of the plot, couldn't help but remind her to prevent her from doing anything stupid under impulse.
Paimon agreed, "Yes, if you go there in person, wouldn't it mean that the Society Commissioner and General Raiden are enemies? If you openly oppose her, many ordinary people in the Society Commissioner will be implicated."
Kamisato Ayaka was in a dilemma for a moment, her heart aching, "But how can I just watch Thomas being executed by the general?"
Yingmei waved her hand and said, "Leave the task of rescuing Thomas to me! I am very good at fighting."
"But," Kamisato Ayaka wanted to say something.
But he was interrupted by Ueno Chiki, "Trust the Traveler, she can definitely do it."
Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to accept this approach, "Okay. I'll wait for you to come back safely."
.......
The late summer afternoon sun is no longer glaring, but soft and warm, shining on the ancient Inazuma Castle.
Under the gigantic statue of the Hundred-Eyed Thousand-Armed God, the majestic General Thunder and Lightning stood high on a wooden platform. Her facial expression was serious, without any emotion, just like a cold machine.
A pair of sharp eyes stared at Thomas who was tied up in the audience. This man who dared to resist the Eye Hunting Order was an eternal enemy and should be executed.
The area was crowded with onlookers, who were talking about it.
She raised her hand and pointed at the red Eye of God hanging on Thomas' waist.
Then, the Eye of God flew directly to her hand.
At this moment, Yingmei rushed out from the crowd like lightning, jumped up, and snatched the Eye of God.
He then quickly fought off two attacking samurai from the shogunate army and rushed behind Thomas, trying to untie him.
"call out!"
A lightning blade coming at her at high speed interrupted her actions, and she dodged the attack from the Thunder General on the platform in a somewhat awkward manner.
"You don't need the Eye of God to drive the power of elements. You are an exception. Exceptions are eternal enemies."
Violent thunder elements continued to gather around her, and her pressure became more and more terrifying. Yingmei felt as if she was an ant on the ground and could be crushed to death at any time.
General Raiden's aura continued to rise, she looked up, and a blade with a powerful aura was pulled out from her chest.
"I'm going to build you into a cold stone statue!"
The violent thunder element continued to spread around, directly locking Yingmei into a desolate world - a pure land.
Yingmei looked at everything in front of her in confusion. In this dark purple world, apart from a vast martial arts arena, there were only a few huge torii gates.
In the center of the martial arts arena, General Lei Dian sat cross-legged on one leg. Compared to the General Lei Dian in the outside world, the General Lei Dian in front of him didn't seem so cold anymore.
"I am very interested in you, my eternal enemy."
General Raiden attacked Yingmei with a naginata in hand. The angle and timing of each attack was just right. Although Yingmei had extraordinary fighting power, there was still an insurmountable gap between her and General Raiden.
After only two or three rounds, Yingmei was completely defeated. She was kicked to the ground by General Lei Dian and lost all her power to resist.
"It's so boring."
At this moment, they withdrew from the Pure Land together.
Yingmei fell weakly onto the wooden platform.
General Lei Dian stepped forward with a knife in his hand, intending to execute Ying Mei himself.
Thomas, anxious, was struggling to break free from the rope, but he couldn't get it free for a while.
Suddenly he felt the gathering of fire elements behind him, and the flames ignited, just burning his ropes.
His whole body felt light and he immediately broke free from the ropes. He picked up the spear and threw it at General Lei Dian with all his might.
