Chapter 514: Walnut's Strange Cooking
After about three quarters of an hour, Hu Tao told some stories that could be shared.
"It seems that everyone doesn't like the Hall of Rebirth..."
Finina said thoughtfully, and at the same time she remembered the funeral home in Holy Lemuria.
In Holy Lemuria, no one seems to like funeral homes very much.
“It’s not that people don’t like the Wangsheng Hall, but that people are a little averse to what the Wangsheng Hall represents.”
Walnut gently corrected Furninna's thoughts.
"I see..." Furnin nodded. "If that's the case, then wouldn't the business that Wangsheng Hall is responsible for be unlucky in everyone's eyes?"
Hu Tao smiled, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "I don't think so! Wangsheng Hall is a major event in life, how can it be described as unlucky?"
Furninna blinked and asked curiously, "Then how does Master Hutao view his job?"
"Well... the job of the Rebirth Hall is not only to send the dead to their deaths, but also to give the living people peace of mind." Walnut answered seriously, "After all, death is something that everyone cannot avoid, and the mission of our Rebirth Hall is to make this thing a better place."
"If there is a chance, I would like to see how you work, Hu Tao!" Funina's voice sounded again, and it seemed that she really had such an idea.
"Then I will definitely take you to see it when I have the chance." Walnut patted his chest, making a dull "bang bang bang" sound.
Hearing the voice, Finina subconsciously looked at Kurumi's chest, then looked down at her own.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly in a pleased arc, and the look in Furninna's eyes when she looked at Walnut instantly softened.
A fellow traveler!
"By the way, now that I've told you my story, shouldn't you also tell yours?"
Walnut looked at Funina and Funia curiously, looking forward to their stories.
"Our story..."
Funina thought about it and looked at Funinya, as if she wanted to ask her what she could and could not say.
Feeling Furniture's gaze, Furniture instantly understood her sister's thoughts, so she smiled and said:
"It's getting late now, why don't we go back to the city and rest for a while?"
"It's a good time to have a meal. My treat."
"Okay, okay. I happen to be hungry too." Hu Tao touched his stomach and a happy look appeared on his face.
"I heard you guys are going to have dinner next?"
Whenever the word "eat" is involved, Paimon is always more active than anyone else.
The distance was clearly more than a hundred meters, but when Funina said "eat", she seemed to flash and appeared directly from the sea in front of everyone.
"Huh?" Walnut blinked, a look of surprise on her face, "This little thing..."
She looked at the sea in the distance, then looked at Paimon in front of her.
"If I remember correctly, wasn't she there just now?"
"Why did you come here so quickly?"
"It's normal." Ying smiled, "Paimon is very enthusiastic about eating. As long as he hears the word 'eat', it's natural for him to burst out at the fastest speed."
“Hehehe…” Paimon was not embarrassed at all, but rather a little proud: “When it comes to eating… you have to be proactive.”
"If you have a quick hand, you will have it; if you have a slow hand, you will have nothing."
"If you're slow, all the delicious food will be eaten up."
"It seems that Paimon is very experienced!" Walnut smiled, "I have a specialty dish, would you like to taste it, Paimon?"
After saying that, she also looked at the others.
"You can join us~"
"Really!" Paimon's eyes sparkled, "Great!"
……
In the quiet room, everyone gathered around a table of strange food, lost in thought.
"Is this what you call your specialty?" Paimon pointed at the strange food on the table, looking embarrassed.
The clever Paimon discovered through her sensitive sense of smell that if she dared to eat the food in front of her, her stomach would turn against her.
"Yes!" Walnut said as a matter of course: "This is my specialty!"
A specialty...? I'm afraid this isn't a specialty!
Kong on the side looked at the food on the table, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
The dishes on the table were colorful and looked extremely strange.
There was a plate of something that looked like slime, and it was still wriggling; the other plate was a black, sticky substance that gave off a strange smell.
Paimon's face was tense, and he pointed at a dish and asked, "What is this?"
Walnut proudly introduced: "This is a new type of cold dish I made with special ingredients. It is absolutely refreshing and delicious!"
gudu~
Paimon swallowed, then looked at Sora with a look of help.
After a few moments of silence, Kong showed a look of grief and anger, then he picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a little and put it into his mouth. His expression suddenly became strange.
Chew Chew Chew~
After a few breaths, he swallowed it.
"Hmm..." After thinking for a few breaths, Kong said with difficulty: "Although the appearance of those meals is really hard to compliment."
"But you know what, it tastes really good."
"Really?" Paimon stared at Kong with suspicion, but he could see a bit of calmness from the other's expression and demeanor.
It was as if what he just said was true.
"Then...how about you take another bite?" Paimon said tentatively, still a little uncertain.
"Okay." Kong nodded expressionlessly, and once again selected the sticky-looking dish, scooped a large spoonful of it with a spoon, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"……tasty!"
Kong's face flushed and he gave Paimon a thumbs up.
Seeing Kong's expression, Paimon was completely relieved, and then he started eating while talking.
"It seems that the food you cooked may not look good, but it tastes so good..."
gudu~
When the food entered his mouth, Paimon froze in place instantly, as if he was thinking about his own life, or looking into the infinite future.
"Wow!"
“So salty!!!!”
Paimon couldn't help but spit it out with a bitter look on his face.
Then she looked towards Kong with anger on her face, only to see that guy's face was full of gloating.
Hearing Paimon's scream, Kurumi smiled awkwardly and explained: "Oh, it seems like I added a little too much salt... hehehe."
Sora suppressed his laughter, handed Paimon a glass of "juice", and comforted him: "Okay, don't be sad, at least we know how to improve next time."
Paimon subconsciously took the cup of water that Kong handed to her, but as soon as she took a sip, her eyes widened.
"Wow! So spicy!!!"
At this moment, she felt like she had no mouth.
"That's the Jueyun pepper juice I squeezed out from the Jueyun peppers..." Hu Tao looked at Paimeng with shock in his eyes.
"Paimon...you're amazing!"
