The cat dared to take on such a dangerous mission, so it's unlikely that it would risk its brains for a free hot spring.
Before going to the Snow Woman's house, the cat made other preparations.
Of course, it's most important to eat and drink well before taking action. That way, even if the Snow Woman wakes up and turns everyone into ice sculptures, at least they'll be a bunch of well-fed ghosts who die of hunger.
Yin Zhu, unaware of Mao You's ulterior motives, was immersed in the joy of "free pastries in a hot spring town, how delicious!" As she ate, she suddenly noticed some water dripping onto the table and instinctively looked towards the source of the water—
The kappa cried as it ate.
It was so difficult for him, it really was so difficult for him.
Finally, one day, he no longer needed to cook; instead, someone else cooked for him, and it was such high-class imperial cuisine!
Yin Zhu looked down at the kappa's tears on the table, then looked up at the kappa's teary eyes. She stood up, borrowed a pot of cold water from a staff member, and poured it over the kappa's head to replenish the water in the dish on its head.
The kappa paused for a moment, then took a big bite of the meat in its hand: "Instead of eating, you're meddling in other people's business. I won't cook for you next time."
She was already used to the kappa's personality. She put the pot aside, sat down again, and took full advantage of the free food, which led some viewers who had just arrived to think she had gone to some kind of buffet restaurant, asking in the comments, "Does the demon world have buffets too?"
The members of the Dragon Kingdom's think tank looked at Yin Zhu on the screen, picked up another steak, and fell silent.
"Did she not eat well when she last returned to Earth?"
Anzhi finally broke the peace.
However, Mo You immediately dismissed the question: "Impossible. The logistics department should be available 24 hours a day. She was scrolling through short videos late at night and came across boiled cabbage in hot water. The logistics department could have made her a serving. She just felt it was too late and there was no need to bother others."
"...If there's a next time, let's make it for her again, so it doesn't look like we're starving the chosen one."
An Zhi rubbed her temples.
While it's true that if the chosen ones don't have an idol image to maintain, they don't need to pay too much attention to their image in front of the camera, it doesn't mean that the think tank isn't troubled by the fact that the chosen ones have turned the rule-breaking live stream into a food broadcast.
They were also afraid of being accused of mistreating the Chosen Ones and not feeding them.
Yin Zhu did eat quite a lot, but it wasn't really related to whether she was hungry or not. While eating, her body clearly felt a replenishment of energy.
This is a feeling I never experienced when eating food made by a kappa.
Even though she had eaten twice her usual amount, Yin Zhu didn't feel full at all; of course, it wasn't because she was hungry. If she had to explain it, it was because the feeling of energy intake was so wonderful that Yin Zhu couldn't help but keep trying to push her limits.
However, the kappa's eerie gaze finally made Yin Zhu realize that she had eaten far too much.
Trying to shift her attention away from the food, Yin Zhu pushed the plate forward and stopped asking the hot spring staff for more. Reason told her she couldn't indulge in this inexplicable feeling, even if it was incredibly comforting.
"Let's set off after we finish eating."
The cat licked its paws again, where some meat sauce had gotten on them.
Originally, Nekomata thought that the Kappa and the Bamboo Cutter were too weak to take on an adventure. Leaving them here would not only be safer, but also save money and give them an advantage. However, Yin Zhu insisted on going with them, so Nekomata went along with her.
As for the kappa?
This is a hot spring town! It's all water!
For a water spirit like the Kappa, it's like returning to his happy old home. It's just that the cat was too poor to bring him along in the past; and he was indeed quite weak, so going along might only cause trouble. If they encountered danger, the cat might even have to risk his life to save him, which was really unnecessary.
Logistics personnel should honestly recognize their own role.
So, Kappa looked at the cheerful Yin Zhu with incomprehension, and after thinking for a long time, he could only conclude that "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
Besides their thick fur that keeps them warm, cats' greatest advantage is their ability to connect with people.
Her first stop was the Fire Dwelling.
After explaining their purpose to Shiranui and Foxfire, Shiranui gladly accepted the invitation, while Foxfire felt that he was too weak and probably couldn't be of much help.
The second stop was the Ice House.
There are many rumors about the Ice Pillar Woman on Earth, but the Ice Pillar Woman in the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" dungeon is the more dangerous kind. Not only is she a woman transformed from an ice pillar, but she also turned back into an ice pillar and pierced her husband's head when he cheated on her and remarried.
Therefore, she also has a certain degree of cold resistance and the ability to control ice and snow.
"Of course, I'm no match for Lady Snow Woman at all." The ice pillar woman covered her mouth and gave a humble smile, but Yin Zhu could still see her jet-black teeth.
Noticing Yin Zhu staring at her mouth, the Ice Pillar Woman patted Yin Zhu's head, who was considerably shorter than her: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think Sister Ice Pillar is really pretty."
Yin Zhu's flattery was genuine. As long as you ignored those somewhat frightening black teeth, the Ice Pillar Woman was indeed a ghost that was on average beautiful among all the ghosts.
As for black teeth, it seems to be a tradition of Japan.
Because of water quality issues in Japan, many people have crooked teeth, making their smiles somewhat unsightly. So, in the past, the people of Japan decided to deceive themselves by dyeing their white teeth black, so that nothing could be seen when they smiled, and they wouldn't find it unsightly.
Yin Zhu's comment on this was: "That's a good idea, but don't think about it again next time."
Thus, the adventure team officially became a four-woman team.
In China, there's a common saying that one woman is equivalent to 500 ducks, which is obviously incorrect. However, Yin Zhu felt somewhat embarrassed when three acquaintances gathered together.
