Chapter 227: On the eve of the Lantern Festival dinner
The Lantern Festival is a festival that runs through the history of Liyue, and on this day, whether you are a wanderer or a businessman who is out of Liyue, even if you are not in Liyue, as long as you are a Liyue person, you will release a lantern on this day to express your good wishes.
When night falls, it may be because this year's Lantern Festival is the first Lantern Festival after the death of Emperor Yanwang, compared with the Lantern Festival in previous years, this year's Lantern Festival is particularly lively, and the most obvious of these excitement is the number of night lanterns released by the General Affairs Division, these night lanterns began to fly when the sun set slightly, until now it is completely dark and has not been released.
In the sky, the dense night lights continued to float towards the sea, outside the Hall of Death, according to the habit developed over the years, the Dragon King of Ruotuo was watching this annual beauty with Ruoban, looking at it, somehow, the Dragon King of Ruotuo suddenly missed his good brother Morax.
I think that every time the mortal world crosses the sea lantern festival, Morax will always take him to get together with those old friends, although there are fewer and fewer old friends who see the dinner, but looking at the stability of the mortal world, the dragon king knows that his old friends do not regret their choice.
Once upon a time, he also sighed to Morax that according to the speed at which his old friends left, the two of them might be left at the Lantern Festival many years later, but he didn't expect that Morax would leave this world before him.
Alas~ The thousands of emotions in my heart finally turned into a sigh, no matter what, since Morax is gone, no matter how much he can't accept it, he can't change this reality.
"Boss Ruotuo, in a bad mood?"
Sensing that the Ruotuo Dragon King was talking a lot less today than in the past, he found a clean place, and Ruo Ban leaned against the wall of the Afterlife Hall and chatted with the Ruotuo Dragon King.
"Hmph, you kid have to fight for some anger, don't let my white-haired person send a black-haired person."
Ruotuo Dragon King's words sounded in his mind, and Ruo Ban, who was about to solve the problem for Ruotuo Dragon King, twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, is it really appropriate to say such unlucky words on this big holiday? But Boss Ruotuo should be concerned about him when he says this, right? Well, he must be caring about him, and he hypnotized himself a few words, Ruo Ban said.
"Boss Ruotuo, are you in a bad mood? Tell me about it? ”
"That's not true, it's just that I thought of some of the previous things and felt a little emotional, and I said that you kid doesn't understand."
"Hey, hey, Boss Ruotuo, I don't like to hear what you say, and I don't know what you mean."
Ruoban's words of protest reached the ears of the Ruoda Dragon King, and the Ruoda Dragon King, who was thinking about his good brother Morax, rolled his eyes when he heard Ruoban's words.
"You kid has only lived for a few years, what do you understand, it's not too late for you to say this in a few hundred years, hurry up and go to dinner with your friends, I really want to say that we have time to talk in the future."
Taking the initiative to cut off the perception, the Ruotuo Dragon King was bored lying in the seal, in the Ruotuo Dragon King's opinion, Ruo Ban, who had never experienced life and death, did not have the insight to talk to him about the things he was thinking.
More importantly, the Dragon King didn't want Ruo Ban to realize the bitterness caused by life and death prematurely, the life span of mortals was originally short, since he couldn't cut off Ruo Ban's previous relationship with his friends, then Ruo Tuo Dragon King hoped that Ruo Ban's friends would accompany them without regrets while they were still alive.
"Boss Ruotuo, this is a good temper."
Feeling that Ruotuo Dragon King took the initiative to cut off his perception, Ruo Ban was a little confused, could it be that Ruotuo Boss had entered the menopause in the Yingkou? According to Ying's description of menopause, Ruo Ban, who was a little afraid, decisively pushed open the door of the Hall of Death and prepared to chat with Hu Tao.
A few days ago, Hu Tao told Ruo Ban that he would hold a dinner party in the Hall of the Dead tonight, and mysteriously said that he would invite a mysterious guest to eat together, so that Ruo Ban must be on time.
Walking into the Hall of the Dead, Ruo Ban found that the Hall of the Dead at this time was extremely lively, and in front of a table in the corner of the hall, Mona was teaching Zhongli about astrology, but it didn't seem to be going well.
In Ruoban's impression, Zhongli rarely seemed to frown, but now Zhongli's frowning eyebrows looked like he was in trouble, and Mona beside him was holding a teacup and making a big cup of tea under Ruoban's gaze.
Seeing Mona's appearance, Ruo Ban felt that it was better not to disturb her, when he went to a private school before, a teacher was angry with a student and vomited blood, but Ruo Ban remembered it clearly, and it would be better to make some tea for Mona to remove the fire later, but don't get angry.
"If you are here, brother, this is for you to eat, this is an apple that Sister Yaoyao and I picked in the wild, but it is delicious."
As if she had found something good to share with Ruoban, Klee came to Ruoban with an apple, Ruoban took the apple and took a bite, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Ruoban felt that it was indeed sweeter than ordinary apples.
"Brother Ruoban, you're here, Sister Hu Tao, she's gone out to invite that mysterious guest, you sit down and wait for her first, she should be back soon."
Dragged Ruo Ban to a chair and asked Ruo Ban to sit down, Yaoyao poured Ruo Ban a cup of tea, and then ran to the kitchen with Klee and Qiqi to see if there was anything they could help.
Looking at Yaoyao running around with two small ones and the pot, Ruo Ban felt extremely wise about his previous decision, and it had been several days since Klee was fished out of the General Affairs Department by Ruo Ban, because Hu Tao had been unwell recently and couldn't go out with Klee, and Ruo Ban was worried that he would be restrained when he stayed with Klee and Qiqi to play together.
In order to make Klee play more unrestrained and to prevent Klee from coming out with some good intentions and bad things, Ruo Ban entrusted Klee and Qiqi to the most reliable person he could think of, Yaoyao.
Because the relationship between Ruoban and Xiangling is very good, and Yaoyao is Xiangling's younger sister, the relationship between Ruoban and Yaoyao is not bad, every time she meets Yaoyao in the wild, Yaoyao will take out a lot of delicious things to ask Ruoyao to eat, she gives Ruoban the feeling of being like a kind grandmother who spoils her juniors?
Originally, Ruo Ban just wanted Yaoyao to look at Klee, but I didn't expect these three little ones to play very well, when I went to Yujingtai before, Grandma Ping also specially thanked him for letting Yaoyao have a performance in line with her age, in order to make Yaoyao behave less mature and sensible, Grandma Ping didn't put a lot of effort into it, but the effect was not very good.
In Grandma Ping's opinion, a child of Yaoyao's age should run around the streets and alleys like Klee, instead of caring about how the immortals are doing all day long, well, especially a certain unicorn who is often taken care of and preached by Yaoyao.
In the kitchen, Ying and Xiangling are busy in front of the stove, especially Xiangling, as the queen chef of Hu Tao, Xiangling has been busy in the Afterlife Hall since the afternoon.
While Ying and Xiangling were both busy cooking, Paimon took on the role of a food tester who had nothing to do, and although she came up with this position herself, Paimon was justified in it.
In her exact words, in order to make the mysterious guest in Hu Tao's mouth happy, it is necessary to taste the salty food in advance, and she Paimon is doing Hu Tao a favor and doing a good deed.
In response, Ying gave Paimon a big roll of the eyes, she didn't think that Paimon, who had already eaten with a mouth full of oil, was tasting salty, and Xiangling was too, knowing that Paimon, the little guy, wanted to eat it secretly but still spoiled Paimon so much.
Sometimes Ying thinks that there is nothing wrong with being an emergency food, not worrying about food and clothing, and being pampered by others, although she can't say that she is spoiled by everyone, at least Ying thinks that her friends around her are very fond of Paimon, especially Liyue's friends led by Ruoban, probably because of the hospitable nature of Liyue people, and Ying's impression of Liyue's friends is very good to Paimon.
