Chapter 659: Navilette's Secret Commission
It took Villette a lot of effort to coax Funina into submission.
At this time, the dinner carefully prepared by the Meilushin people in Haimo Village was about to be completed.
However, due to the unique visual system of the Meluseens, the food they cook is really hard to accept.
The appearance of these foods is so horrible that it can even be said to be a bit insane.
However, although they may not look very beautiful, they are indeed edible.
Just as everyone was sitting around the campfire, preparing to enjoy the dinner carefully prepared by Melucene and others, Clorinde had just finished sending the three unfortunate members of the Gilded Brigade to the guard team and had just returned and joined the dinner.
……
When she saw the bowl of fish soup, half of which she had eaten, and the ingredients that made it look quite "mysterious", a strong feeling of nausea came over her.
She closed her eyes tightly, resisted the urge to vomit, tightened her facial muscles, and said with difficulty:
"Ugh! This is hell! I never thought that after all these years, I would still eat so much fish..."
Seeing this, Paimon asked curiously, "Claulinde, don't you like fish?"
Clorinde closed her eyes tightly, trying to hold back the strong fishy smell coming up from her stomach, and answered weakly, "When I was a kid... I ate too much... Maybe I got hurt...
Shao Yun looked at Clorinde and saw that her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and she was enduring great pain.
So Shao Yun took out a can of canned fruit from his backpack and said to Clorinde, "Come on, eat some canned peaches. Maybe it will make you feel better."
Hearing this, Clorinde raised her head and her eyes fell on the can in Shao Yun's hand.
Without any hesitation, she reached out to take the can, and immediately a sweet scent came to her face.
Clorinde couldn't wait to put the fruit in the can into her mouth. The smooth and juicy peaches brought a refreshing sweetness that instantly suppressed the fishy taste in her mouth.
As the peaches and syrup slid down her throat, the sickening fishy smell was completely suppressed, and her stomach gradually calmed down.
Clorinde sighed with satisfaction, and the pain on her face eased a little.
She looked at Shao Yun gratefully, nodded with a smile, and said, "Thank you, Master, I feel much better..."
Shao Yun took the empty can handed over by Clorinde and said casually: "You're welcome. I'm glad I can help you."
……
After everyone had the dinner prepared by the Meilushin's, they sat around the campfire, chatting and slowly digesting the food.
In order to quickly forget about the san-losing dinner with Melusin and the others, Paimon started to make small talk.
She suddenly remembered some funny things that happened between Funina and Violet, so she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Meluseen and the others were so naive that they actually thought that Funina, you and Violet..."
Before Paimon could finish his words, Funina's face suddenly turned red. She interrupted Paimon in embarrassment and annoyance, scolding him: "Hey, don't talk about what happened just now! It's so embarrassing!"
Paimon was unwilling to let go of this great opportunity to tease Funina. She continued to tease, "Oh my, how could you be so cruel? You let such a group of lovely Melusines be so disappointed!"
Seeing that explanation was completely useless, Funina rolled her eyes and came up with a good idea.
"Hey, I think you're pretty cute, Paimon. Why haven't I seen you call Shao Yun and Ying dad and mom?"
"This...what's going on? How did it suddenly get to the point where I addressed Shao Yun and Ying?" Paimon was confused by Funina's sudden move and had no idea how to respond.
However, although this move by Funina seemed illogical and incoherent, it was actually very clever.
Because she successfully brought the topic to Shao Yun.
Sure enough, when Shao Yun heard Fu Ningna mention why Paimon didn't call her dad, he immediately became interested.
"Yes, Paimon, call daddy now!"
Seeing this, Paimeng couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She really didn't expect that Funina's trick would be so effective and put her in such an embarrassing situation.
However, just when she was hesitating, all the care and concern Shao Yun had shown her along the way suddenly flashed through her mind.
Thinking of this, Paimeng couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and his original shyness was gradually replaced by being moved.
Finally, she blushed and replied in a soft voice, a little embarrassed: "Okay, since you have taken care of me and Ying for so long... just this once!"
Then, Paimon opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say those two words, but it seemed as if something was blocking his throat, and no sound came out for a long time.
After a long while, she summoned up all her strength and whispered two words in a voice quieter than a mosquito's.
"dad……"
However, this weak voice was obviously far from enough for Shao Yun.
He deliberately put his hands behind his ears, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and then said loudly: "I can't hear you clearly, Paimon, speak louder!"
Paimeng was immediately furious when he saw this.
She stared at Shao Yun with eyes wide open, cursing in her heart: "This guy is really too much!"
So, she raised her voice and said unhappily, "Hey, Shao Yun, that's enough! Is it fun to take advantage of me like this? It's not over yet!"
Just when Paimeng was "angry" at Shao Yun, Ying on the side suddenly laughed "inappropriately".
She was obviously there to watch the fun and naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity to make fun of Paimon.
Then, Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and said slowly: "Uh... Paimon..."
When Paimon heard Ying calling him, he turned around with some confusion, looked at Ying, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Ying's smile became even brighter.
She blinked and said mischievously, "Can you call me mom?"
When Paimeng heard this, he was stunned.
She never thought that Ying would join Shao Yun in playing tricks on her.
She looked at Ying's evil smile and felt like crying but had no tears! Helplessly, Paimon could only say with a bitter face: "How come you were also influenced by Funina!"
At this time, Finina was standing aside, looking at Paimon's embarrassment, feeling extremely proud.
She grinned and said to herself, "Hehe, you want to fight with me? Paimon, you're still a little naive..."
……
After reluctantly calling Shao Yun and Ying "Dad" and "Mom" a few times, Paimeng suddenly thought of a question, then looked at Villette and asked.
"By the way, Villette, when we went to rescue Mamehe during the day, you suddenly disappeared. What were you doing?"
When Villette heard Paimon's question, his heart tightened slightly.
He glanced at Shao Yun, then said to Paimeng and Ying: "Ying, Paimeng, there are some things I want to talk to you alone..."
Seeing that Villette was so mysterious, Paimon couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Ah? So mysterious..." She muttered. Although she was a little reluctant, she still followed Villette and Ying to a corner where no one noticed.
As soon as he reached the corner, Paimon couldn't wait to ask, "Can you tell me now?"
That Villette took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then explained the reason why he suddenly disappeared.
"The reason I left at that time was that I sensed the breath of the abyss near Haimo Village."
"I was worried that this aura might cause trouble, so I rushed to deal with it."
When Paimeng heard the words "abyss" and "trouble", his heart skipped a beat and he felt that something bad was going to happen.
She asked nervously, "Ah? 'Trouble'? Violet, you wouldn't give a nasty guy named 'Yuan Shang' to..."
Paimon stopped talking before he finished speaking, and gestured to his neck with his hand, meaning to ask whether Villette had killed the "trouble".
When Navilette saw Paimon's actions, he was stunned at first, then he touched his chin and began to think about the name "Yuan Shang".
After a while, he asked in confusion, "Who is Yuan Shang? The guy I dealt with was named 'Jacob Ingold'. Logically, you should not know."
When Paimon heard that Villette said it was not Yuanshang, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
She took a long breath and said, "Oh, I was scared to death..."
Yuan Shang can be said to be the second person that Paimon likes the most in the Abyss Cult! The first person he likes is Kong. After all, he is Ying's brother...
However, before Paimon could completely relax, she suddenly came to her senses.
I seemed to have just heard Villette say that an abyss monster appeared near Haimo Village!
It's not the kind-hearted Abyss! Isn't that the extremely aggressive Abyss Monster?
"Hey? Wait a minute, why is the Abyss Monster lingering around Haimo Village? Strange, is it trying to hurt Meilushin?"
Violet was thinking about what Jacob had told him, but he did not tell this information to Ying and Paimon.
The main reason is that the power of the 'Abyss' will interfere with people's normal cognition. If the other party is really talking nonsense, it will interfere with their own judgment.
"I'm not sure, but I always feel that there must be some reason I don't know."
Then, Villette said to Ying and Paimon with difficulty: "Actually, I have always wanted to figure out why those guys from the 'Abyss' suddenly appeared near Haimo Village."
"However, as you know, I am currently very pressed for time and it is difficult for me to get away to investigate this matter personally."
He paused for a moment, hesitant, and then continued: "So, if you have some free time, can you help me investigate the reasons?"
"Is it possible that something in Haimo Village attracted the 'Abyss'?"
When Paimon heard that Villette was going to entrust such an important task to them, he immediately understood why he had deliberately asked for their permission to speak.
"Hmm, I see. No wonder you called us out..." Paimeng said as he glanced thoughtfully at Shao Yun who was watching them not far away.
Paimeng thought to himself that if Shao Yun heard about Villette's commission, he would probably stop it without hesitation. After all, investigating the "Abyss" is not an easy task.
That Villette also noticed Paimon's gaze and turned to look at Shao Yun.
Then he frankly admitted: "Well, I did consider this."
Seeing this, Paimon couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
She originally thought that she had only accepted a commission from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, but she didn't expect that she would now receive another commission from Villette, and it was about such a tricky matter as investigating the "abyss".
"Well, as expected, I haven't been free for long, and things start to come one after another." Paimon said with a sigh.
After the complaints, Paimeng discussed it with Ying and decided to accept the commission.
"Okay then, we'll find time to come to Haimo Village." Paimon agreed, after all, it was for Meilushin.
Seeing that Paimon agreed, Violet said gratefully: "Thank you very much, I owe you two a favor."
