However, the more she visited, the more surprised she became.
The courtyard had a huge outdoor swimming pool, and the villa was decorated in a modern style, with all sorts of appliances and furniture she had never seen before.
All of this left Hestia speechless.
"Li An, are these things called home appliances really that amazing?" Hestia asked with some disbelief.
"Then let's give it a try." Li An smiled mysteriously, led Hestia to the bathroom, threw the clothes he wore to the Type-Moon world into the washing machine, poured in laundry detergent, and pressed the start button.
Immediately afterwards, the washing machine started automatically adding water and spinning.
"How amazing! Why can it move on its own?" Hestia asked, both surprised and curious.
“Of course it’s magic stone. You can think of home appliances as another kind of magic stone technology,” Li An explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is!" Hestia immediately understood.
Magic stone technology is quite common in Orario; both magic stone lamps and magic stone elevators are common items.
After showing Hestia around the villa, Li An let her choose a room she liked to stay in.
This super villa, covering hundreds of acres, has no shortage of rooms.
With over a hundred rooms, it would be perfect for building a harem.
"Then I won't be polite!" Hestia cheered and skipped off to choose her favorite room.
This super-sized villa, with so many convenient appliances, feels more comfortable than living in Hephaestus's house.
Hestia secretly decided to add another person to her list of friends: Lian!
As night fell, Li An took out the leftovers from lunch and reheated them.
Then he invited Hestia to come and eat with him.
Hestia, who was setting up the room, immediately ran out when she heard that it was time to eat.
When she arrived at the restaurant and saw the stir-fried dishes and rice on the table, she was slightly taken aback.
"Li An, what is this?" Hestia asked curiously.
“I call the food from the eastern part of the mainland Chinese cuisine,” Li An said with a smile.
"Oh, I see." Hestia nodded.
Then she followed Li An's example, picked up a bowl and chopsticks, and served herself a bowl of rice.
However, she just couldn't get the chopsticks right when she tried to pick up food.
Seeing this, Li An almost burst out laughing.
He went to the kitchen, handed her a knife and fork, and said, "Use this."
Although Hestia was unwilling, she obediently accepted the spoon and fork.
There's no way around it, chopsticks are just too difficult to control.
Looking at the table full of dishes, she hesitated for a long time before finally picking up a piece of pork rib and putting it in her mouth.
She initially thought it wouldn't taste very good, but the result surprised her.
It's sweet and sour, and the meat on the ribs is so chewy and delicious!
"Li An, Li An, what's this called? It's so delicious!" Hestia asked while eating sweet and sour pork ribs.
"This is sweet and sour pork ribs. Don't just eat the ribs; you should eat them with rice. It's best to mix the sweet and sour sauce from the ribs with the rice; that's how you make it taste better!" Li An said, demonstrating for her by pouring the already limited amount of sweet and sour sauce from the ribs into a bowl and stirring it.
The thick sweet and sour sauce turns the rice black, instantly releasing an enticing aroma.
Seeing this, Hestia immediately tried it herself.
Pour the remaining half of the sweet and sour sauce into the rice, then stir.
Stir well, then take a bite.
"Wow, this is a great idea! The rice tastes so good now!" Hestia exclaimed.
This tastes so much better than potato balls.
She's made a decision: from now on, her favorite food will no longer be potato balls, but sweet and sour pork ribs with rice!
Next, Hestia tried other dishes.
Once you try it, you can't stop.
Whether it's scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, or stewed beef brisket with potatoes, they are all so delicious.
She ate almost all of the last table of food by herself.
Not only that, she also ate five large bowls of rice.
Li An's eyes involuntarily drifted to her flat stomach, completely baffled as to where all the food had gone.
After Hestia finished eating, she realized she had eaten too much and felt a little embarrassed.
Then she took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash them.
But this is what she should do, after all, she is now a housekeeper and has started working.
Before there were any other servants in the house, she, as the housekeeper, had to do all the housework.
Li An ignored her, took a bath for a while, and then went back to his room to rest.
One night passed, and the next day arrived.
Zenin Maki, who had gone on a solo expedition, has finally returned from the dungeon.
His clothes were tattered, and he had run out of the dry rations he had brought.
Her face was also dirty, and her originally long, dark green hair had been cut short.
Her current hairstyle looks like a hairstyle from the later stages of a comic book.
Fortunately, she's good-looking enough to pull off any hairstyle.
Zenin Maki's short haircut not only adds a touch of androgynous beauty but also makes her look even more dashing.
With her adventurer's attire, she did indeed have some of the bearing of General Feixiao.
When Zenjima saw Li An, she could no longer control herself and rushed over to hug him tightly.
This trip to the deepest parts of the dungeon to fight monsters was fraught with danger.
Several times she faced life-threatening crises, and she almost thought she was going to die and never see Li An again.
The twelve days of separation felt like twelve years, making her miss Li An terribly.
Li An also sensed Zenin Maki's intense emotions. He didn't mind her dirt and stench, and hugged her tightly, offering her comfort.
After a long while, the score was two.
The first thing Zenin Maki said was, "Darling, I want it!"
Li An's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Let's wash ourselves clean first!"
"You dislike me!" Zenin Maki pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Stop being naughty, go take a bath!" Li An slapped her on the bottom.
Zenin Maki chuckled and then ran to the bathroom.
"This girl has gotten stronger again. Her ability value should increase a lot this time. Only 42 days have passed. Is it possible for her to reach Lv4 in 100 days?" Li An murmured to himself, his eyes full of anticipation.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Li An prepared to cook something nice to nourish Zenji Maki.
After all, she had been eating dry rations for the past twelve days in the underground city, and she had lost a lot of weight.
However, just as Lian was preparing the food, Hestia also got up.
She came out of the room wearing loose pajamas and yawning.
However, just as she was about to go to the bathroom, Zenin Maki finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.
The door opened, and the two women looked at each other, both stunned.
After a few seconds of silence, Zenin Maki spoke first, asking, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Hestia looked Zenin Maki up and down before speaking, "I'm the head butler hired by Li An. You say this is your home, so what's your relationship with Li An?"
"So you're just a housekeeper? I'm Li An's wife, the mistress of this place!" Zenin Maki arrogantly raised her chin, looking down at Hestia with disdain in her eyes.
"Huh? You mere mortal, who gave you the audacity!" Hestia was immediately enraged by that look.
However, just as the two women were about to clash, Li An came out of the kitchen.
He said to the two women, "You two, stop fooling around."
Upon seeing Li An, the two women immediately ceased their attack.
"Breakfast is ready. You two can go eat after you've washed up," Li An said to the two women again.
Upon hearing that breakfast was ready, Hestia immediately lost all interest in competing with Zenin Maki and quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Zenin Maki looked at Li An and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Li An smiled and explained, "She is one of the gods of this world. Our world also has her legends, namely Hestia from Greek mythology!"
Zenin Maki looked surprised. One of the twelve Olympian gods in Greek mythology, the sister of Zeus, the king of the gods, was actually a little kid.
