Chapter 919

"But…"

Just as Paimon was about to say something, a sudden knock came at the door.

Then the door opened and Raiden Shogun walked in from outside carrying the best food.

However, the food was covered with a lid, so Yingmei and Paimon had no idea what was inside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Raiden Shogun knelt at the table with an apologetic look.

"No, no, you're the one who's worked hard!"

Paimon stared at the delicious food on the table and rubbed her little hands together.

As if she hadn't been the one complaining just now.

Though she didn't seem to care on the surface, she was still very excited to see the delicious food arrive.

Especially the aroma wafting out from inside, which made Paimon utterly intoxicated.

Even though she hadn't seen what was inside yet, she would bet her bottom dollar—

This was definitely going to be delicious!

This was the experience of a foodie!

"I never expected Young Lady Ying's cooking to be this good!"

Inhaling the aroma drifting from all around, Yingmei also looked thoroughly surprised.

Although it still couldn't compare to Han Feng's cuisine, it wasn't bad either.

At the very least, she couldn't make anything like it.

"Come on, give it a try!"

Raiden Shogun said with a smile, gesturing to them.

"Then we won't hold back!"

Hearing this, Paimon could wait no longer and rushed forward to lift the lid.

She looked at the food inside with an expectant face.

However—

There was no golden light!

Nor was there the bright, beautiful-looking delicacy she had imagined.

There were only two skewers of black stuff, threaded onto bamboo sticks.

As if something had been burnt to a crisp.

"Wh-what is this?"

Paimon was dumbstruck.

It was her first time ever seeing food like this.

This was utterly absurd—absurd squared, absurd to the max!

Especially since it kept giving off such an enticing aroma…

The contrast was just too great, wasn't it?

No matter how you looked at it, it felt bizarre.

Yingmei also subconsciously swallowed twice.

But not from craving—from shock.

Is this even something humans can eat?

She took back what she said earlier!

This was no longer a matter of cooking skills being good.

She was afraid that if they ate it, they'd simply drop dead on the spot…

"Eat up, why aren't you eating? This is something I carefully prepared!"

Raiden Shogun, oblivious to the terror on the two before her, said with a smile.

"Ah, um, I just remembered I left the gas on at Boss Cou's place—no wait, the stove's still on, right Ying?"

Paimon came to her senses and frantically winked at Yingmei.

She didn't dare eat this thing!

Better to slip away early.

"Right, right, the manga at Han Feng's shop is very important—we can't let it get burned, or you won't be able to read the manga next time you go."

Yingmei caught on instantly and immediately put on a tense expression.

"Young Lady Ying, thank you for your hospitality, next time just use the super phone to find me directly!"

After hastily saying goodbye to Raiden Shogun, Yingmei hurriedly took out the Anywhere Door,

and she and Paimon immediately made their escape.

Otherwise, if they delayed any longer, they might not be able to leave!

After all, Young Lady Ying really was just too hospitable….
