Chapter 28: The Seven Stars Meet, Immortals Gather
After hearing Xun Feng's words, Hu Tao put down the staff of homa that she had been hiding behind her, ready to be used, with a mixture of belief and doubt.
"Great, if you like it, then... this whole plate is yours!"
With a playful smile, Hu Tao happily ran back to the kitchen to continue serving dishes.
This was a real pity for Xunfeng, as he had to taste every dish that Hu Tao served.
"It's so...delicious..."
Xun Feng, looking haggard, huddled up and trembled as he approached the chair. He struggled to sit down steadily, his face sallow and weak.
When all the dishes are served, that will be the day Xunfeng falls!
Let the feast begin!
That's certainly not the case.
Closer to home.
Xunfeng used light elements to transfer the food into the bowl of a dog in a certain courtyard, so that the food would not be wasted and the dog would not suffer.
A pet dog in a certain courtyard: You're so high and mighty, let me suffer for you!
Meanwhile, Ying, who was traveling with them, stood nervously to the side with a surprised expression.
To get away from this place of trouble, she slowly moved backward, millimeter by millimeter. Looking at the smoky atmosphere filling the room, she even considered moving to another place to live.
The head of the Rebirth Hall truly lives up to his reputation!
However, just as Ying moved half a meter, misfortune still struck her.
"Ying, you should try some too!"
Upon noticing Ying's figure, Hu Tao gladly handed her the vegetables she was holding.
At this moment, in Ying's eyes, the enthusiastic Hu Tao had become a wolf with sharp fangs, while Ying saw herself as a lamb to be slaughtered.
"I...I...Paimon is hungry, she wants to try it first!"
With terrified eyes, Ying pulled Paimon close beside her as if pleading for help.
Emergency food is meant for emergency situations, isn't it?
This is a beaver.
"Huh? What...?"
Paimon, who was dragged in to shield him, seemed to be still confused about the situation.
Actually, she had been eyeing the food in Hu Tao's hand with great interest ever since she started eating.
Paimon was eagerly waiting, but unexpectedly, Ying gave her the opportunity right away.
Ying, you're such a good person!
After hearing Ying's words, Hu Tao quickly and attentively handed the food to Paimon, and then said gently, "Paimon, you're so small, you need to eat more to grow up."
After she finished speaking, she gently placed the chopsticks in Paimon's hand.
Feeling their kindness, Paimon looked at them with deep emotion, almost bursting into tears.
Fortunately, the food in front of her kept her from crying.
Paimon happily opened his mouth and then ate several pieces of carrot in one big bite.
The next second, a unique flavor that defied the laws of the world exploded on Paimon's taste buds.
Rumble—!
Immediately afterwards, Paimon's consciousness entered a place where the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, and all living beings were dying.
All around, volcanoes erupted one after another at the same time, and finally, the Earth exploded!
The moment Paimon put the food in his mouth, his eyes instantly turned dull and lifeless!
"Paimon, Paimon...Paimon!"
Seeing Paimon's lifeless eyes, Ying hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
After regaining his senses, Paimon felt as if he had been reborn and had arrived in a beautiful paradise.
The next second, Paimon, realizing what had happened, hurriedly flew behind Luminous in fear.
The taste of the food surprised her so much that she could barely speak.
"I...no, I won't eat!"
Paimon numbly resisted this delicious treat.
But things didn't go as planned. After dinner started, the three of them painfully pushed each other while trying to pick up food.
After a series of hilarious moments of gritted teeth, all three of them collapsed into their chairs.
Xunfeng has exhausted his elemental power due to transferring food too many times.
Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon suspect that they will mutate when they wake up tomorrow.
Hu Tao looked at the three of them with satisfaction, nodded, and smiled contentedly.
"Have a good meal and drink your fill, and may you have a safe journey!"
Liyue, Jade Capital Terrace.
The Liyue Septate Meeting is being held here.
"Is everyone here? Let's begin."
Ningguang sat in the center position and slowly began to announce the official start of the meeting.
"Recently, someone placed a secret letter on my office desk. It came and went without a trace, and no one noticed it."
These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the audience.
Before they could think too much, Ningguang continued, "The contents of the letter are the key, but... we don't know if it's true or false. So, on one hand, I've called everyone here to discuss how to deal with the matter in the letter, and on the other hand, I want everyone to be able to discern its truth. The letter says, 'Within a month, the Dragon King Ruotu will reappear under the Dragon Tree on Mount Hulao.'"
It's worth mentioning that this meeting was very important, so Gan Yu also came.
After pondering for a moment, Gan Yu gave his opinion: "I think we should put aside the question of whether it is true or false for now, and first observe whether there is anything unusual about the place mentioned in the letter."
As soon as Gan Yu finished speaking, Yu Hengxing Ke Qing raised a question, "Have you thought about what the purpose of this letter is? Is it a pretext to divert our attention, or is there another motive? Since that person can deliver the letter silently, their strength must be unfathomable. This matter should be carefully considered."
At this moment, Tian Shu Xing Shu smiled slightly and raised his hand to quell the slightly agitated situation.
“I think this is a good thing. First, it can test the capabilities of the Seven Stars; second, a powerful person who sends a letter must have their own reasons; third, we should be prepared to believe any potential safety hazards in order to ensure the safety of the residents of Liyue.”
“Very good. Based on everyone’s opinions, I have summarized the current plan. First, we need to contact as many immortals as possible to go and observe the situation; second, we need to increase the duty hours of the Thousand Rock Army and provide them with subsidies; finally, it would be best if we could find the messenger, perhaps he has a solution.”
Meanwhile, the messenger was far away in a celestial cave.
The True Lord of Carving the Moon and Building the Sun, the True Lord of Managing Water and Stacking Mountains, the True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind, Shen He, Zhong Li, Wen Di, and Xiao were all present.
"Gentlemen, I have summoned you here today because there is a very important matter at hand. Please take it seriously. My former retinue, the Dragon King Ruoduo, will soon break my seal."
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Wendy instantly lost interest. He simply pursed his lips and said, "Is it really necessary for you to make such a fuss over such a small matter? Why not just seal it again?"
Zhongli shook his head mysteriously and replied, "I have a feeling that a crisis will occur in Liyue soon, so I hope everyone will take it seriously."
"I will obey Your Majesty's orders."
Apart from Wendy, Xiao led the group in giving a reply to the Emperor.
Immediately after saying goodbye to Zhong, they got up and headed towards their lodgings, leaving the area far behind.
"Barbatos, the days ahead will be filled with more and more hardships."
After saying this, Zhongli patted Barbatos on the shoulder meaningfully, then turned and left.
"Oh no, more trouble is brewing. Let's go to the tavern for a drink and relax."
After Zhongli left, Barbatos turned into a wisp of wind and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, beneath the Fulong Tree, a faint golden light refracted from the slightly cracked ground, its source unknown.
