Chapter 239 If you don’t eat, don’t even think about living!
Something is wrong...
Loen quietly took a step back and pushed the Centaur Sage beside him to the front.
"I also brought Mr. Ma as a guest. He helped a lot today."
"No problem! It's okay for anyone to come!"
"Together, together!"
Hestia and Circe did not raise any objections and dragged Chiron, who was in the front, into the house.
Although Luo En always felt that something was wrong, when he saw that Teacher Ma, who was treading on the minefield ahead, was safe and sound, he felt relieved and followed in carefully.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the bright fire dancing in the stove and the rich aroma of food wafting into your nose.
"You guys did all this?"
Loen looked at the table full of sumptuous food with hesitation.
Hestia and Circe's breathing stagnated when they heard the question, and they subconsciously glanced towards the kitchen.
"Yes, in order to prepare for today's dinner, we did everything ourselves, from selecting ingredients to cooking."
In the kitchen, Athena, wearing an apron, came out with a pot of mushroom soup and announced proudly.
Hestia and Circe on both sides nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and at the same time hurriedly pulled out the tables and chairs, pushed the two people who came to the banquet to their seats, and eagerly handed over the tableware.
"Come on, eat, eat all, you're welcome!"
Seeing such a harmonious and enthusiastic scene, as well as the presence of an extra cook today, Lorne quietly put down his fork.
However, seeing this, Athena pulled out a chair and sat next to Lorne. She very considerately put the fork back into his hand and urged him with a smile.
"You've been wandering around for so long, and you finally came back. Why are you being so polite?"
"I've been sleeping rough lately and my appetite is not very good."
Lorne forced a smile on his somewhat stiff face, put the fork back on the edge of the plate, and then looked at Hestia and Circe in the corner who seemed to be trying hard to reduce their presence, with a confused expression.
"Why are you standing? Sit down. I worked so hard to prepare the food, and you should taste it first. My elders and master are here, so it's not right for me to touch the dishes first."
As he spoke, he righteously dragged his main god and teacher to the dining table, made them sit down, and considerately prepared a set of tableware for each of them.
Suddenly, Hestia and Circe, who were forcibly dragged in, could not help but glare at the scum who betrayed his teacher and ancestors.
You are such a jerk, Lorne, you have caused us so much trouble!
"It's just a quick meal, what's there to refuse?"
Seeing that no one had touched the food on the table, Athena narrowed her amethyst eyes slightly, raised her eyebrows, and chuckled jokingly.
"Don't worry, there's no poison in the food, it's all made by everyone."
This is what I’m afraid of!
Although Loen remained calm on the surface, he was screaming madly in his heart.
If the other party is really so cruel as to poison me, I will have a reason to run away and go with Chiron to have my stomach washed.
But if it is a "love dinner" offered wholeheartedly by the other party, you have to be on guard.
Cooking a meal can cause the kitchen to explode seventeen or eighteen times. Who knows what is added to it?
It can’t be because the food they cook is so delicious, right?
Besides, Hestia and Circe are okay, at least they can cook.
What the hell is Athena cooking? She's better at killing people than cutting vegetables, right?
Now even Hestia and Circe are avoiding the things on the table. Doesn't that prove that these seemingly delicious meals are actually scams?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Athena's face gradually turned a little gloomy. Lorne forced a smile on his face, quickly picked up a piece of meat pie, and put it on Chiron's plate.
"Teacher Ma, thank you for today's work. Come and try these dishes."
"Oh, ok, thank you."
The good old man, unaware of the subtle atmosphere around him, thanked him repeatedly, picked up the meat pie on the plate and put it into his mouth.
Then, under the expectant, reluctant, or curious gazes of the crowd, the Centaur Sage's hand trembled, and the fork in his hand fell into the plate with a clink. His pupils were empty due to loss of focus, and his body sat stiffly on the chair, like a mechanical puppet that had lost its soul, and fell into a state of freeze.
Lorne shook his arms repeatedly in front of Chiron's eyes, and his concerned voice gradually became higher in pitch.
"Teacher Ma, Teacher Ma, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Finally, a trace of focus gradually gathered in the awakened Chiron's eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"I, I seem to see Asclepius standing across a river, waving at me..."
“…”
The three people were silent, their eyes swept across the plate of crispy golden meat patties on the table, and looked quietly at a goddess of wisdom opposite them.
Athena avoided the sight of Hestia, Circe, and Lorne, and coughed lightly as she moved a plate of green vegetables to the position of the meat patties.
"Maybe, Mr. Chiron is more accustomed to vegetarianism."
"Oh, let me try..."
Chiron raised his hand mechanically, like a puppet receiving an order, and put two pieces of vegetables into his mouth.
In an instant, the Centaur sage shuddered again as if he had been electrocuted, and his eyes became even more blurred.
"Strange, strange, Asclepius said he wasn't there and asked me to go back... Bang!"
Before he could finish, Chiron could no longer hold on, his eyes turned black, and he dived into the plate.
“Hiss~~”
Seeing this, Hestia and Circe both gasped and looked at Athena with horror.
One mouthful made me so delirious that I could see the Styx and the dead. Two mouthfuls made me feel completely exhausted...
My goodness, is this a dish or poison?
Poison isn't that strong!
If I remember correctly, Chiron is an immortal god.
The future Hercules accidentally injured his teacher Chiron while chasing a Centaur robber. He used the indestructible arrow given by his teacher. The arrow, soaked in the poisonous blood of the nine-headed Hydra, pierced through the body of a Centaur robber and shot Chiron in the throat.
But because of his immortality, Chiron was able to resist the venom of the Hydra that killed countless Greek heroes and remained alive and well for a long time.
Only when he could no longer endure the pain brought by the poison and voluntarily gave up his immortality would he be completely dead.
He could even withstand the poison of the Hydra, but was knocked down by just two bites of food?
Luo En looked at Teacher Ma who was unable to get up beside him, with cold sweat on his forehead. He quickly pretended to be concerned and helped him up.
"Teacher Ma, hold on, I'll take you to treatment right now!"
"Let's help too!"
Hestia and Circe stood up at the same time, looking kind-hearted.
However, before the three of them could carry Chiron and escape from this devil's den, Athena immediately raised her hand and slapped the table.
"Bang!"
Amid the dull sound, golden light patterns spread out. The Centaur, who had originally buried his head in the dinner plate, shuddered, sat up straight, and looked around mechanically and blankly.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
"Home visit."
Athena smiled in response, her eyes warm.
"Then what?"
"We are eating..."
Lorne responded quietly, trying to jog Ma's memory.
"Yes, eat!"
Chiron nodded seriously, immediately picked up the fork, picked up a few pieces of green vegetables, and stuffed them into his mouth again.
"Bang!"
A moment later, the Centaur Sage, who had only been awake for three seconds, fell into the dinner plate again.
"Maybe he's full and wants to sleep. We don't need to disturb Teacher Chiron for now."
Athena explained with a smile, then looked expectantly at the three survivors on the field.
"Come, you all try today's dishes."
“…”
The three of them were silent, feeling terrified, and moved their stools back one after another.
Seeing that everyone was so uncooperative, the goddess of wisdom who was cooking herself suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, you don't want to eat, right? Don't even think about it..."
"It smells so good? What's that smell?"
"You ate delicious food without telling us!"
Just as Athena was about to lose her temper, two purple-haired female imps in the corridor stopped, opened the door, and angrily poked their heads into the room.
