Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Jiang Bai swallowed hard.

Is Meluxin's method of preparing food always this simple and crude?

"Um, Yara, may I see your recipe?"

"Hey!"

Yara picked up the recipe that was set aside and handed it to him.

This is a handwritten recipe, and the food preparation process is simple and straightforward.

There was absolutely no mention of processing the ingredients.

"Add lemongrass... If you don't have lemongrass, adding some seaweed should work the same way, right..."

Yara threw in a handful of thin seaweed.

"Add a suitable amount of salt... This big spoonful should be enough..." Yara scooped out a spoonful of salt with a large spoon and sprinkled it all over one spot.

Jiang Bai covered his face.

He really wanted to escape...

"I suddenly feel unwell in my stomach, so I won't stay to taste the food..."

Jiang Bai ran away like the wind.

We have no choice but to run away; if he actually eats it, his tongue will rebel.

Yara watched helplessly as Jiang Bai ran away. Staring at the empty doorway, she lowered her head dejectedly after a long while.

"I'd also like to ask the guests for some advice on Yarat..."

Because of the special things that Meilushin can see, she may have seen that Jiang Bai is very healthy and his stomach is not uncomfortable.

He probably left because he didn't want to eat her cooking.

Since she wasn't a sentimental person, and there were no guests eating, she decided to eat by herself.

She scooped the fish out of the pot, put it on a plate, washed her hands, and then started eating it, holding the fish head and tail.

Yara took a bite of the fishy-smelling meat and looked on with obvious enjoyment.

"Mmm, Raya's recipes are amazing! They taste so much better than eating them raw!"

Chapter 883 Erinas

Jiang Bai fled Yara's residence as if his life depended on it.

Meiluxin's culinary disasters are even more terrifying than the head chef's.

The head chef only occasionally has a sudden whim to try different combinations of ingredients.

But she definitely knows how to handle the ingredients; she would never do it so simply and crudely.

Although he hadn't tasted it, Jiang Bai already knew what it would taste like.

The first bite will take you into a mouthful of fish scales that are full of fishy smell, then the second bite is fish meat that has no flavor at all, and in the middle you will taste that lump of salt that has not dissolved at all...

Jiang Bai walked out along the passage in the cave. The cave was a maze of interconnected passages, and he had no idea where this path would lead.

The passageway was very long, and before you knew it, the view opened up, and you would have bought a relatively spacious space.

This space is also located inside the giant beast in the dead zone, and the original muscle fibers can still be seen on the weathered rock walls.

Jiang Bai finally saw the monster that Navia had described, a monster that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

It was a ball-shaped monster with fragments of rock floating around it, moving erratically.

Besides these monsters, there were also beast hounds, wandering aimlessly in twos and threes.

Amidst this horde of monsters, a Melusin was oblivious to her surroundings, mining some kind of ore.

Jiang Bai did not rush over.

It's unclear whether the monsters didn't see Melusin, or if there was some other reason why they didn't attack her.

But it wouldn't be good if his movements drew the attention of the monsters to the little Melusin.

The Beast Hounds are capable of small-scale spatial leaps, so Jiang Bai might not be able to save them.

Jiang Bai avoided the beast-like hunting dogs and circled around to the vicinity of the Melusin.

"It's dangerous here, get out of here quickly."

Jiang Bai's voice reached the ears of the Melushin, who stopped what she was doing and looked at him curiously.

"Huh, it's a human."

"Get out of here quickly, there are many monsters here."

Mameh blinked, tilting his head in confusion. "Danger? You mean these little guys?"

Mameh was not afraid of the Rift Primarchs at all.

"These little guys are no danger, they're cute and won't hurt me."

"what?"

cute?

Is this adjective definitely correct?

This was the first time Jiang Bai had ever seen such a monster, and he really didn't know how threatening or aggressive it was.

But since this Melusin is able to stay here, it means that this kind of monster shouldn't be too aggressive.

"Is that so...? What about the demon hounds over there?"

"Those big dogs, as long as you avoid them, it'll be fine."

Melusin has a high affinity for the abyss, and abyssal creatures generally do not attack them on their own initiative.

"What if we get discovered?"

You should know that those beast hounds are incredibly agile. Forget about avoiding them; as soon as you get close enough, they'll appear right in front of you.

Jiang Bai wasn't sure if the Melusin race was so unique that this difference was the cause.

"As long as I don't attack them, they won't hurt me, and my father will protect me."

"Father?"

The last time Jiang Bai heard this title was from Lin Ni.

Could the "father" that Melusin is talking about be Navelette?

There are indeed rumors that Navelette is the only male Melusin.

“Father is indeed Father. Mameh can hear Father speaking.”

"Is it... Vilette?"

Jiang Bai felt that the father she was referring to was probably not Navelette, as Navelette was too busy to match up.

Mameh shook his head.

"Everyone can't hear Father's voice and thinks Father is just Mameh's imaginary friend, but Mameh knows that Father is Father, and we live in Father's body."

Mameh's words were very informative, and they confirmed for Jiang Bai who the "father" he was referring to really was.

Erinus.

Those were the dead abyssal monsters whose bodies had transformed into vast landmasses.

According to the information he gathered, Melusin seemed to have appeared suddenly about 500 years ago.

Perhaps Mameh wasn't wrong to call him "Father".

But could a dead behemoth still retain consciousness?

Was the dead Erinus filled with hatred?

"Can I hear your father's voice?"

Upon hearing Jiang Bai's question, Mameh turned his head to listen for a moment.

"Uh-huh……"

"Father said you can see him, but it might be a little dangerous. However, Father can sense that you won't be affected."

"What do you mean?"

“Mameh can’t explain it either… Do you still want to see Father?”

"Okay, see you there!"

Jiang Bai wanted to know the origin of Erinus, why Melusin was born, and why he could still have consciousness.

As for danger, that's a minor matter.

"For you to see Father, Mameh needs to paint, but Mameh has run out of paint... Mameh is collecting paint."

"pigment?"

Jiang Bai looked at the red stones she had originally mined. Was this pigment?

"I'll help with whatever you need."

"Besides these, we need even purer ores... Mameh will teach you how to mine them."

Mameh did not refuse Jiang Bai's help at all.

These ores are special ores that cannot be mined using conventional methods.

After reading his method once, Jiang Bai knew what to do.

Before mining, he cleared out the hunting dogs in the area.

These hounds might not attack Mameh, but they will definitely attack him.

After visiting several places, they finally found all the mineral pigments that Mameh needed.

After gathering all the necessary materials, the pigments need to be prepared by grinding them into very fine particles and then adding oils and gelatin to allow them to adhere to the canvas.

This was a rather troublesome project, and Jiang Bai followed Mameh back to Haimo Village.

The tools for making pigments are all at home, so Jiang Bai will have to wait patiently.

While Mameh was making paints, Jiang Bai took the opportunity to visit her paintings.

how to say?

It was so abstract that Jiang Bai couldn't recognize what she had drawn at all.

It's like a huge blob of paint haphazardly splashed onto a canvas, without any shape.

Most of her paintings are in this style, with bright red colors that are very impactful.

Mameh also kept a robotic dog, a gear-like robot that would praise Mameh's paintings with all sorts of words, which he found very interesting.

After all, if he were in charge, he wouldn't know how to praise someone.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Mamech finally finished making all the paint.

"You can draw now!"

Chapter 884 The Birth of Melusin

Mameh, having prepared his painting tools, led Jiang Bai to a rather large cave.

In the very center of this cave is a huge, petrified heart, with many petrified muscle fibers still visible around it.

"Is this a heart? It's huge..."

Judging from the degree of petrification of his heart, Erinus's death was quite complete.

Mameh set up his easel, paper, and brushes. "I'm going to start painting now. Strike a pose."

"You want to draw me?"

Jiang Bai simply sat down on the spot, not knowing how long she would take to paint, so this would save him some effort.

Mameh paints very quickly; she finished her painting in just over ten minutes.
