If you eat hot pot like this, even a living person would have a heart attack!

Surprisingly, the fire was quite magical; if you didn't look closely, it seemed to be coming from the table.

What kind of wooden table is this?

How could it not ignite when it was so close to the fire?

Qin Yunie looked at them with a complicated expression: "..."

Sitting to her left, Fan Wujiu, seeing that she still hadn't lit up, said with great enthusiasm, "Let me help you light it."

They didn't notice anything unusual about her face.

Qin Yunie swallowed hard, then nodded hesitantly, "Thank you for your trouble."

Yan Wenjing sat in the seat of honor, and any movement would attract his attention. He glanced at the two of them and took the lead in picking up food and putting it into the pot to cook.

The next second, a video vortex the size of two palms appeared directly in front of Yan Wenjing, and the image of the Eastern Peak Emperor appeared inside.

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak leaned back in his recliner, gently blew on his teacup, and was about to bring it to his lips when he said lazily, "Yan Wenjing, what are you eating at home that smells so good? It's even reached me. Have your servant bring me some too."

He looked up at Yan Wenjing, his gaze suddenly freezing. He sat up straight, leaned slightly closer, and asked curiously, "What are you eating? It looks so red, it looks delicious."

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak looked disapproving. "You've actually learned to eat alone! Did you secretly go to find Xiao Yu Nie to mooch a meal again?!"

"Wait a minute, aren't you at home?"

When Xie Bi'an and the others heard what the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak said, they were all shocked and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear more gossip.

Unexpectedly, the King of Hell had actually dined with Qin Yune in private!

Judge Cui's expression was somewhat complicated. No wonder the King of Hell suddenly snatched his lunchbox last time.

Judge Cui glanced at Yan Wenjing, whose expression wasn't good, and then at Qin Yune and the others who were all listening intently to the gossip. Fearing that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak would reveal more, he deliberately coughed and called out, "Ahem, Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak..."

Emperor Dongyue then noticed the others, "Oh, Judge Cui is here too."

Seeing that there was no more gossip to hear, Xie Bi'an and the others joined in shouting, "Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak raised an eyebrow and said, "Everyone's here? With such a lavish meal, Little Yu Nie must be here too?"

Qin Yunie obediently called out, "Emperor of the Eastern Peak."

She actually forgot to invite the Eastern Peak Emperor, and to make matters worse, she got caught...

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Great Emperor of Dongyue appeared in the restaurant in the next second. He glanced at her and raised an eyebrow: "Is this a new dish made by Xiaoyu Nie? It smells delicious, it must taste really good. You don't mind if I have one too, do you?"

Yan Wenjing glared at him. "If I said I minded, would you leave?"

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak sat down straight and said confidently, "No."

The entire audience: "..."

Qin Yunie picked at her nails somewhat awkwardly. She should have thought of that earlier. The King of Hell and the Emperor of the Eastern Peak lived so close together, why didn't she invite the Emperor of the Eastern Peak over?

It's so embarrassing to be caught red-handed now...

Seeing that Yan Wenjing did not refuse, Qin Yunie immediately got up and went to the kitchen to find an ordinary pot from Yan Wenjing's house, and stir-fried a new pot base.

She was incredibly grateful that she had prepared enough ingredients; otherwise, given the situation, who would eat and who wouldn't?

It's inappropriate for anyone to eat it or for anyone not to eat it.

It was she who suggested treating them to a meal to thank them; if things really turned out like this, Qin Yune didn't even want to imagine how embarrassed she would be.

Xie Bi'an and the others came in to help her serve the dishes. They quickly prepared the hot pot base and took it out. Just before putting it on the table, they asked, "Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, can you eat spicy food? If you can't, then try my yin-yang hot pot base. I've never had it before."

"OK."

Qin Yunie placed the food she was carrying in front of him, and then placed the hot pot in front of him in front of the Eastern Peak Emperor.

Sitting next to the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, Xie Bi'an briefly explained to the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak how to eat.

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak followed their example, lit the fire, and put all the vegetables in to cook.

Then the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak produced a jar of wine. “I just happened to get some good wine, which should be perfect with this hot pot.”

The little boy standing nearby immediately came forward to pour them wine.

Just as Qin Yunie was watching with bated breath, a fair and smooth porcelain bottle suddenly appeared before her. She turned her head to look and saw Yan Wenjing.

Yan Wenjing explained, "This is plum wine; it's okay to drink a little."

Qin Yunie nodded, poured herself a glass, and smelling the faint aroma of the plum wine, she took a sip and her eyes lit up immediately. "This plum wine is delicious! Thank you, King Yama!"

Yan Wenjing nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.

Their actions didn't attract much attention; only Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu noticed.

However, Fan Wujiu was only focused on getting food and didn't think much about it.

Xie Bi'an didn't think much of it, after all, the wine from the Eastern Peak Emperor was indeed a bit too strong for Qin Yunie.

On the contrary, Qin Yunie belatedly realized that Yan Wenjing had actually eaten with the King of Hell twice!

The King of Hell even invited her to drink plum wine!

Moreover, this table is filled with Yama, the King of Hell, the Emperor of the Eastern Peak, and ghost messengers. What merit does she, a living person, have to gather them together to eat with her?

An indescribable excitement welled up inside me.

Does this mean she infiltrated the underworld?

Even if it's not quite there yet, at least they've shown their true colors.

I wonder if asking them to help investigate a few ghosts would be feasible?

But it definitely won't work today, otherwise it would seem like she invited them to dinner for some other purpose.

As she was thinking, she heard Fan Wujiu's voice, who was sitting not far from her.

The scalding heat and spiciness made him grimace as he fanned himself with his hand, saying to her, "Hiss~ Hoo~ Is this called hot pot? It's so delicious, just a little spicy, but the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes."

Qin Yunie then looked up and saw that it wasn't just Fan Wujiu; the other ghost messengers were in the same boat. Some of them couldn't handle spicy food, and the spiciness caused their pale skin to turn slightly bloody, making them look less frightening.

In fact, the underworld has kept up with the times. Not only are the ghost messengers younger, but their uniforms have also changed from robes to suits, and they are no longer as scary as before.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yunie immediately smiled, stopped thinking about those messy things, picked up a cooked egg dumpling and ate it.

I must say, it tastes really good.

Perhaps it's because my mindset has changed.

To be honest, she hadn't had hot pot in quite a while. The Qin family didn't really like eating hot pot together, so she didn't eat much.

She enjoyed the hot pot meal immensely, and to her surprise, almost all the ingredients she brought were devoured.

After the meal, Xiao Tong skillfully began to clean up. Xie Bi'an and the others were all drunk and lying there in a mess.

Qin Yunie was drinking plum wine, and she was leaning lazily in her chair, holding the porcelain bottle. Her hair tie had fallen off at some point, and her long hair was hanging down behind her. Her eyes were a little hazy, but unusually bright, and her fair cheeks were slightly flushed.

Yan Wenjing stood beside her, looking down at her with slightly lowered eyes, "Are you alright?"
