Chapter 535 Is it delicious? Hmm... not recommended
Paimon frantically floated up and down in the air, trying to recover from the shock. Her face was wrinkled, and her eyes were full of confusion. She really couldn't understand why Shen He would treat these herbs as food and eat them with such relish.
However, Shen He ignored Paimeng's surprise. She was immersed in her own world and continued to eat the herbs attentively. Her speed was astonishing. Her expression was focused and satisfied, as if these herbs were the food she most desired. Soon, she finished the first pack of herbs, and then opened the second pack without hesitation. Her movements were smooth and there was no pause. Her eyes never left the herbs in her hands, as if these herbs were the only ones left in the world.
Kong and Paimon on the side stared at Shen He with their eyes wide open, completely shocked by the strange scene before their eyes. Their minds were blank, and they couldn't understand why someone would eat medicinal herbs as delicacies, and it seemed that they enjoyed it very much. Is this really something a normal person can do? Kong and Paimon exchanged glances, and saw the same confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes. Their mouths opened slightly, and their faces were full of surprise, as if time had frozen at this moment. Kong's eyes still had a hint of disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Shen He ate very quickly, devouring every packet of herbs in her hand like a whirlwind. Before long, she had finished all the herbs, and then looked at everyone with satisfaction, with a satisfied smile on her face. Although the smile was still light, it was filled with a hint of joy from the heart, as if she had just enjoyed a sumptuous feast. Finally, she thanked everyone again and said that she was no longer hungry. "I'm not hungry anymore, thank you for the hospitality." Shen He's voice was still calm, but with a hint of subtle joy.
Kong looked at Shen He with curiosity in his eyes, like an innocent child, and asked impatiently, "Well...how does it taste?" There was a gleam of curiosity in Kong's eyes, he really couldn't help but want to know how Shen He felt about eating these herbs.
Lin Feng, who was standing aside, was filled with curiosity like a surging tide, and could not help asking, "Is it really that delicious?" Lin Feng's face was full of curiosity. He moved closer to Shen He, staring at her lips, wanting to hear every word she said clearly.
After hearing the two people's questions, Shen He was silent for a while, as if she was carefully savoring the taste. She closed her eyes slightly, frowned slightly, as if she was recalling every moment of tasting the herbs just now. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and answered calmly. "It's not delicious. Although it tastes slightly fragrant, if you eat too much, it will only be bitter, sour, and astringent, just like the taste of life, so I don't recommend you to eat it." Shen He's tone was flat, as if she was telling a very ordinary thing, without the slightest exaggeration or embellishment.
Hearing Shen He's words, Paimeng felt more and more strange and confused. Why was this person so weird? The food was obviously extremely unpalatable, but he still insisted on eating it. So, she flew back and forth quickly in the air, thinking for a while while flying, and then responded excitedly. "Why would Shen He prefer to eat these instead of tasting the delicious food in the restaurant? If I had enough Mora, I would definitely go to the best restaurant, order countless delicacies, and enjoy it!" Paimeng turned in the air, put her hands on her hips, and showed a puzzled expression on her face, trying to get a reasonable explanation from Shen He. Her eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, hoping that Shen He could give her a satisfactory answer.
After listening to Paimeng's story, Shen He stared at her in confusion, with a trace of regret in her eyes. She shook her head slightly and looked into the distance, as if she saw the distant mountains and the unknown future. "It's just because I can't be sure whether I will stay here in the future. The food in the world is indeed delicious, but if I return to the mountains in the future, my lingering love for the food will become a stumbling block to my practice. So just taste it and enjoy the taste." Shen He said lightly, her eyes were calm and deep, as if she saw through the impermanence of all things in the world. Her voice was soft but firm, and every word revealed a kind of open-mindedness that transcended the world. There was a trace of alienation from the world in her eyes, as if she had looked down on everything.
When Paimon heard Shen He's words, he immediately turned to look at Kong, with a flash of surprise and excitement in his eyes. "Returning to the mountains... Traveler, my guess must be right, this person must be an immortal!" Because his guess was confirmed, Paimon proudly raised his head at this moment, looking at Lin Feng and Kong triumphantly, as if saying. "See, I guessed right!" Paimon puffed out his chest in the air, folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked complacent.
However, Lin Feng and Kong just shook their heads helplessly, speechless. They knew Paimeng's character very well. Once she made up her mind about something, it would be difficult to change her mind. Although they knew that Shen He was not a true immortal, they did not want to refute Paimeng too much at this moment. Kong sighed slightly, and Lin Feng smiled bitterly. The two looked at each other and chose to remain silent. They knew that there was no point in arguing with Paimeng at this moment, and it would only make the situation more complicated.
Shen He seemed to have no intention of continuing to talk about her identity, but looked at the others and continued to ask. "Putting my business aside for now, what are your plans next?" Her voice was still calm, but revealed a sense of concern. Although Shen He didn't care much about her own affairs, she was a little curious about the plans of the others and wanted to know their next itinerary.
After hearing what Shen He said, Paimeng came back to her senses and remembered the purpose of her trip. "Oh, right! I almost forgot that we are here to participate in the competition to rebuild the Qun Yu Pavilion!" She patted her head, regretting it.
Lin Feng looked at Paimeng like this, and although he wanted to comfort her, it seemed difficult to say it. Should he tell Paimeng not to worry, we have external help? No, no, no, it was really hard to say such words. And even if he said it, it would be difficult for Paimeng to understand it. Lin Feng smiled helplessly, shook his head, and decided not to speak for the time being.
"Competition?" Shen He looked confused.
