Paimon: The Soul of a Foodie!

12:17

Inside Ye Yun's Shop.

Everyone sat around the Long Table in the middle, eating.

"Oh my god! I can't take it anymore! Lumine! Can I eat now?" Paimon kept tugging at tissues to wipe away her drool.

The moment Ye Yun finished the first dish, the aroma of the food forcibly booted Paimon up.

At the time, March 7th, Stelle, and Lumine, who had been sitting nearby watching TV, were all stunned.

One second, her eyes were still spinning in circles. The next, she struggled to crawl back up like a zombie awakened in a movie.

Lumine held Paimon in her arms.

"No! Everyone isn't here yet! We can't eat!"

Paimon was miserable. The food was right in front of her, yet she couldn't eat it. Wuwuwuwu...

Ever since Lumine had rescued her, the two of them had wandered the wilderness, sleeping rough along the way. When they were hungry, they picked Sunset Fruits to eat; when they were thirsty, they drank river water.

After finally having such a feast laid out before her, she still had to wait a little longer before she could eat.

This was simply torture. Paimon felt as though every second lasted a year.

Soon, Ye Yun finished the last soup—a Sweet Corn Chicken Soup.

After turning off the heat, Ye Yun carried the chicken soup over to the table.

"Come on, make some room. Let me put down the soup."

Welt stood up, took the soup from Ye Yun, and placed it on the table.

Ye Yun sat at the head of the table, rubbing his hands as he looked at everyone.

"What are you all looking at me for? Help yourselves, help yourselves. No need for so many rules. Dig in!"

The words "dig in" sounded like heavenly music to Paimon. She immediately broke free from Lumine's arms, picked up a piece of meat, and stuffed it into her mouth.

In that instant, tasting the fragrant meat in her mouth, Paimon couldn't help crying with emotion.

"Wuwuwuwu! It's delicious! So delicious!"

Seeing this, Ye Yun served Paimon a bowl of soup.

"If it tastes good, eat more. Don't just eat meat—have some soup too. This soup was properly slow-simmered over low heat."

Paimon accepted the bowl and thanked Ye Yun.

"Thank you, Ye Yun!"

Ye Yun nodded slightly.

"Drink up."

Lumine felt utterly humiliated beside her. Paimon was beyond saving! This was so embarrassing! The way she ate made it look like Lumine had been starving her.

Just then, Lumine noticed something extra in her bowl.

Looking closely, she saw that Himeko had placed a chicken leg in it.

"Lumine! Try this Big Chicken Leg. It's really delicious!"

Lumine was about to politely decline when Paimon suddenly poked her head over.

"Lumine, don't you want that chicken leg? If you don't want it, give it to me! Hehe!"

Lumine immediately swallowed the polite refusal that had yet to leave her mouth.

"I'll eat it! I absolutely have to eat it! I just can't let you eat it!"

With that, Lumine took a big bite out of the chicken leg.

The instant the chicken leg entered her mouth, Lumine too was conquered by its deliciousness, her face full of bliss.

Gradually, Lumine began trying to join in everyone's conversations and fit in with the group.

As for Paimon... eating away.

More than an hour later.

Everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and was now sitting in the booth area, digesting.

Paimon hugged a pillow and slept soundly on the sofa.

Stelle and March 7th had each found a sofa to lie on and digest their food. They had eaten too much and were uncomfortably full.

Ye Yun's phone rang at that moment. When he opened it, he saw a message from Herta asking where he was. She wanted to come buy something.

After sending Herta his location, Ye Yun told Himeko and the others.

When Himeko heard that Herta was coming, she said,

"Oh? Herta is coming to buy something? Then let's leave a little later. I was planning for us to set off for the next stop once we'd digested our food."

Ye Yun cupped his hands.

"Sorry to make everyone wait a little longer."

Welt took a sip of the tea Ye Yun had brewed.

"No matter. It won't take Herta long to buy something. Delaying for a little while won't be a problem."

More than ten minutes later.

Herta rushed into the train. The moment she entered, she looked around everywhere for Ye Yun.

The moment she spotted him, she charged straight over.

"I want to buy something!"

In a hurry, Herta grabbed Ye Yun and began searching for his phone.

Ye Yun quickly stopped her little hands from pawing at him.

Even if that body of yours is a puppet, you can't just touch people wherever you want! Hey!

"Stelle! Take Herta to buy something!" Ye Yun called out to Stelle at the neighboring booth.

Hearing him, Stelle poked her head out from the sofa next door.

"OK!"

Under Stelle's guidance, Herta sat beside the Small Bar and began browsing.

Seeing Ye Yun's defeated expression, Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Herta is just like that. Don't mind her."

Ye Yun didn't want to talk. As the saying went, geniuses all had their quirks.

Ye Yun now felt that saying was completely correct.

Ye Yun straightened his rumpled clothes and walked over to the Small Bar.

Herta rapidly scrolled through the screen and soon found something that interested her.

Qilin Blood, price: 50,000 Star Coins.

Effect: From a Qilin, a Divine Beast from a certain Xuanhuan World. This Qilin possessed an exceptionally long lifespan and was an auspicious beast blessed by heaven and earth.

A Qilin from a Xuanhuan World... Herta wondered whether she could create a clone from this single drop of blood.

Herta glanced at the Exchange Scale beside her, then took out her custom-made Space-Folding Wallet and continuously removed Stellar Jade from it to exchange for Star Coins.

Ever since Ye Yun had taken out the Exchange Scale when Lumine bought something earlier, he had not intended to put it away again.

He left it here so others could conveniently exchange Star Coins to purchase items.

Neither more nor less, the Stellar Jade Herta had brought today totaled exactly five hundred pieces.

Money and goods exchanged hands. After Herta inserted enough Star Coins, a drop of blood contained in a glass vessel appeared in her hand.

After putting away the Qilin Blood, Herta immediately slipped away without even greeting Himeko and the others.

Everyone was already used to it. Herta was just that kind of person.

She had the ability to act however she pleased.

Paimon muttered quietly,

"This person's personality is awful..."

March 7th helplessly spread her hands.

"She's a genius famous across the universe. It's normal for her to act so decisively. We're all used to it by now."

Paimon was a little curious.

"Famous across the universe? What's the universe?"

Lumine explained,

"You know Teyvat, right? It can only be considered a planet.

And there are countless planets like Teyvat in the universe."

Upon hearing that, Paimon cried out in amazement.

"Wow! The universe is so huge! Doesn't that make Herta incredibly, incredibly amazing? She's famous even in such a huge world."

March 7th nodded.

"She really is amazing. She's a member of the Genius Society. Every person in the Genius Society stands at the pinnacle of intelligence in the universe."

Paimon finally understood just how impressive Herta was.

At that moment, Pom-Pom walked over.

"Three passengers, please find your seats. The train is about to depart."

Hearing that, March 7th looked around.

She saw that Himeko, Ye Yun, and the others had already found seats.

March 7th hurriedly pulled Lumine and Paimon to a booth.
