"Xiangling, right? Can all of these be made into food too? Come to think of it... I've actually eaten this kind of lizard before. My tongue was numb for ages afterward. This one can't be eaten, can it?"
Looking at the things Xiangling had taken out, Paimon directly handed the Hydro Slime in her arms to Lumine, leaving Lumine holding one in each hand, then flew over to those strange ingredients herself.
She had eaten the grilled lizard tail Klee had treated her to before, and she had nearly cried at the time.
Even so, little Paimon did not seem particularly repulsed by these things. Only Kiana and Lumine exchanged a glance, both feeling that they could not stand it!
They even suddenly felt that the tea in their hands had become strange!
"You ate a lizard tail that wasn't fully cooked, didn't you?"
Xiangling immediately understood what Paimon meant.
"Yes! Yes! It was grilled lizard tail, just half-cooked." Little Paimon nodded. The grilled lizard tail Klee had given her had indeed been half-raw.
"Then that explains it! Generally speaking, lizard tails taste better after being pickled in salt water. But I like to grill them all the way through, then add Jueyun Chili. The numbness and spiciness blend together—it's incredibly flavorful."
"That makes sense."
Paimon listened intently. In the eyes of the two of them, the living creatures before them seemed to have already become ingredients.
For a moment, even Kiana learned plenty of strange culinary knowledge. For instance, Xiangling had just said that the two Hydro Slimes in Lumine's arms would taste best served cold.
"It's just that we don't have the tools right now. Let's find some Mist Flowers." Though Xiangling was very confident that she could turn Hydro Slimes into delicacies, she lacked the necessary materials.
