The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 815 Hospitality
Soon, the faint smell of wine came from the front.

The Taibai Sword Immortal's nose twitched slightly, his face flushed instantly, he took a deep breath, and couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "Good wine! Good wine!"

"This smells like a girl's red wine that's over 300 years old!"

Manager Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, you are indeed amazing. This jar of wine was brewed by my master himself when the young lady was born, and has been sealed up till now."

In front is a four-sided hall built on a waterside pavilion.

There are dead lotus leaves and branches on the water surface, and beneath the water, you can vaguely see snow-white faces, pairs of eyes looking upwards, and wisps of long hair like water plants swaying in the waves.

Judging from the clothes floating in the water, they were the "people" who had followed us all the way. Some of them had even climbed ashore bit by bit and looked up.

Manager Yuan seemed not to notice the heads emerging from the water and just bowed and invited.

"Please take your seats. My host has been waiting for a long time."

The smile is brighter than ever.

But what about the master?

There is only one round table in the four-sided hall.

Five sets of bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed on the round table.

There were five chairs at the table, all empty.

At the repeated urging of Manager Yuan, Liu Sheng slowly sat down at the main seat, but he was facing three empty chairs from a distance and felt inexplicably strange in his heart.

Taibai Sword Immortal didn't care about that. He sat down, picked up the wine glass, took a deep sniff, and then drank it all in one gulp.

He kept praising it: "Good wine! It's really good wine!"

However, no one responded.

Fortunately, Taibai Sword Immortal was not afraid of embarrassment and just drank alone.

Butler Yuan bowed slightly towards the empty chair next to Taibai Sword Immortal, then clapped his hands.

"The food is served."

Suddenly, maids as tall as the sky came in from all directions of the hall and slowly placed plates of dishes on the table.

There is a wide variety of dishes with different ingredients.

But in Liu Sheng's opinion, these are not food for humans.

Or a bunch of bright red tongues.

Or they are fried into small balls on a dish.

There was also a large bowl of soup with wriggling tentacles floating in it.

There was also a large dish of green leaves covered in slime...

Liu Sheng looked at the dishes and suddenly said, "Wait."

Manager Yuan and the long-legged maids suddenly stopped, as if the pause button had been pressed, and a hint of nervousness flashed across their faces at the same time.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

"Don't we need to wait for your wife to start the banquet?"

Liu Sheng just asked.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Manager Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Those long-legged maids also breathed a sigh of relief, and after serving the dishes, they silently took a step forward with their long legs and crossed the pavilion.

"The master was explaining this to you two just now, but maybe... you were too focused on the delicious food on the table to hear clearly." Steward Yuan explained with a smile.

Liu Sheng: “…”

"Well, maybe."

Finally, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food that required a certain level of acceptance for humans but was already something the little tentacles could not wait to enjoy.

But after a long time, no one started eating.

I don’t know whether the host is waiting for the guest to move first, or the guest is waiting for the host to show up.

"Why aren't you two distinguished guests eating yet? Are you not liking the food?" Manager Yuan couldn't help but asked cautiously.

"What a pity!" sighed Taibai Sword Immortal.

"What...what?" Manager Yuan was a little nervous, trembling a little.

"It's a pity that these good ingredients are not cooked in the best way." Taibai Sword Immortal shook his head.

Liu Sheng also nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Manager Yuan's smile froze slightly.

Taibai Sword Immortal picked up a bright red tongue and said, "For example, if this tongue could be cut into thick slices, roasted over fire, and sprinkled with a little coarse salt and pepper, it would be crispy and rich."

"The same goes for the eyeballs. After being fried like this, the fluid inside them is lost. It's really a waste of natural resources!"

"Then... what should we do?" Manager Yuan said stiffly. Liu Sheng continued, "You can steam it with ginger, garlic, and fermented black beans, pour soy sauce on it after it's out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and finally blanch it with hot oil. It won't lose its essence and it will still taste good in its original flavor."

"That's really good. I know another way." Taibai Sword Immortal said, "Wrap it with a layer of flour, sprinkle it with cumin and chili powder, and roast it over the fire. It will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with boiling hot juices that will burst in your mouth."

As he spoke, Taibai Sword Immortal couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The two of them sang in unison and commented on the dishes one by one. One was a seasoned gourmet, and the other came from a family of food experts. They were very knowledgeable when it came to food, and Manager Yuan was stunned by what they heard.

“It turns out there are so many tricks here.”

Manager Yuan was listening attentively, when he suddenly looked towards the position below Taibai Sword Immortal. His expression became serious, and then he raised his hand and clapped.

Long-legged maids walked in one after another from outside the hall in neat steps, preparing to remove the dishes from the table one by one.

"That's not necessary." Liu Sheng raised his hand to block it, and at the same time pressed down the excited little tentacle in his sleeve.

Manager Yuan looked ashamed and said, "But the master said that serving such crude food would be disrespectful to the guests and would be a dereliction of duty on our part."

After saying that, he actually took out a dagger and stabbed himself without hesitation, blood gushing out.

"It's my fault. I didn't urge the chef to improve his cooking skills."

Another stab.

Seeing that Manager Yuan was gradually going crazy, a tentacle snatched the blade from his hand.

"Speak nicely and don't use the knife." Liu Sheng said calmly.

Taibai Sword Immortal said: "It's fine as long as you can eat it, don't waste it."

A flash of sword light swept by, and the picked up plates fell precisely on his rusty sword, and then fell back onto the table one by one without error.

The sword's force was not yet extinguished, and the chill was pressing.

The maids in the hall immediately scattered like startled birds, moving their long legs in panic and retreating into the shadows of the corridor.

Manager Yuan huddled in the corner of the hall, holding his head, curled up and trembling.

It was not until Taibai Sword Immortal sheathed his sword that he stood up tremblingly and tried his best to force a smile: "Senior... good, good, good swordsmanship... worthy of it, worthy of it..."

"Do you recognize me?" Taibai Sword Immortal raised his eyebrows.

"Of course." Manager Yuan nodded.

The heads lying in the dark beside the water pavilion nodded in unison.

The same was true for the long-legged maid hiding in the corridor.

Taibai Sword Immortal's eyes turned colder, and he said in a deep voice, "So you are coming for me?"

"I dare not... I cannot say that I am doing this for you... I am just sincerely asking you..."

"Then why did you lead us into your treacherous den? Why are you being so secretive and mysterious? And why hasn't the master shown up yet?"

Taibai Sword Immortal's hand touched the rusty sword again, and sword energy emanated from the old man little by little.

"If you don't say something practical, don't blame me for breaking it with force. Do you think this mere disaster-level monster can trap us?"

A ray of sword intent slowly rose from his body, as cold as frost, and spread out bit by bit.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and all the strange creatures trembled like frightened birds.

However, at this moment, a gentle and leisurely female voice sounded:

"Why are you angry, senior?"

"Harmony is the most important thing, just talk slowly."

Outside the pavilion, a pair of huge feet landed.

On her feet were a pair of light red embroidered shoes, with a huge South China pearl embedded in the toe of the shoe, the surface of the pearl was moist and crystal clear.

It's just bigger than a human head.

However, the more I looked at it, the more it seemed wrong.

The red color was not the original color, but was stained by the blood that seeped out of the shoes, turning the original light red into dark red, and then gradually turning into dark purple, almost ink black.

The feet were so big that it was impossible to see the body shape above them.

But her identity is beyond doubt.

"Are you the Madam?" Liu Sheng finally asked, looking at the pair of huge shoes.

A faint voice came from above: "Not bad."

"I don't mean to neglect you, but I...can't attend right away."

At this moment, the pair of shoes was emitting a faint stench of decay, mixed with the smell of blood, which hit my face.

This is understandable.

Liu Sheng nodded silently, controlling the urge to cover his nose.

"As for my master and my daughter..."

"Hasn't it always been there?"
