Chapter 240 I'm hard, it's your fault
At this moment, everyone heard the noise and turned their heads in unison, looking outside the door with strange eyes.
It is the instinct of snakes to foresee danger, so Euryale and Stheno subconsciously retracted their heads, prepared to shut up and run away.
However, a gust of wind blew through the house, and Loen, who activated the power of [Goat], dragged two passing female ghosts into the house at lightning speed and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Stheno, Euryale? Long time no see! Come on, don't leave in a hurry, let's have a meal together first!"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on someone's face that was so bright that it seemed a little distorted. With a pair of iron-like hands, he enthusiastically pulled the two Gorgon girls to the dining table, made them sit down, and began to treat them cordially.
"Come on, come on, you all look thin and hungry lately, eat more to replenish your body."
After a moment, two plates piled with dishes were pushed in front of the two Gorgons.
Except for the meat patties and seasonal vegetables that Chiron had tasted before, almost all of the remaining dozens of new dishes could be found on the plates of both of them.
Hestia and Circe next to them looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, like statues, pretending not to see anything about someone's actions.
There is no way. The immortal teacher Ma has fallen. Someone has to take over the burden and carry it for everyone, right?
Anyway, with Lao Ma as a living example, they would never touch the fork until the food on the table had been thoroughly tested for poison.
At this moment, the two Gorgons who were dragged into the house vaguely smelled a subtle atmosphere on the dining table and immediately looked suspicious.
"You don't want to eat? That's perfect. I've already treated you, so the last incident is written off now!"
Seeing this, Loen was overjoyed. He raised his hand and pushed the two plates towards himself, as if he was afraid that the two would go back on their word. He had a nasty smile on his face.
"I came back and encountered such a sumptuous welcoming dinner. I won't be polite."
"Want to eat? You're dreaming! Bring it to me!"
At this moment, Yurielle, who couldn't sit still, snatched back her own plate and glared at Lorne beside her.
After causing trouble, this bastard actually abandoned them and ran away. He went out and lived a carefree life for several months without losing a single hair, and he also caused them to be beaten by the angry Hestia and Athena in turn.
During that period, the swelling on their buttocks never went down, and they basically slept on their stomachs every day.
Why is it okay for him to be beaten when we do? And he gets to eat delicious food when he comes back!
At this time, Luo En, who was being snatched away by the tiger, felt very aggrieved and complained with an indignant look on his face.
"Isn't there more on the table? Why are you grabbing mine?"
As he spoke, he reached forward, ready to take back his plate.
"I'm the one who's being robbed. What can you do to me? Lulululu~"
Seeing this, Yurielle made a face and stuck out her tongue, then grabbed the plate in front of the victim. Her mouth showed the characteristics of a snake monster, opened in an exaggerated arc, and poured the entire plate of food directly into her mouth.
“No, no!”
Hearing the seemingly out-of-tune shout, Yurielle couldn't help but show a smug look on her face. She immediately moved her throat and gulped down all the dishes into her stomach, completely eliminating the idea of someone snatching food from her mouth.
Lorne stopped and looked at Yurielle with horror.
"You, did you eat it all?"
"That's right, I won't give you any at all!"
Yurielle had a smug smile on her face and lowered her eyelids with one hand, ready to make a face again and start taunting.
However, Loen had a sad look on his face and bowed deeply and solemnly.
"Warrior, farewell..."
"?"
Yurielle was about to speak in confusion, but suddenly found that she couldn't open her mouth. Her whole body stiffened and her consciousness was pulled into endless darkness.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the solid wooden chair broke into pieces, and Yurielle fell straight down, smashing deeply into the floor tiles, motionless.
Loen reached out his hand and poked it carefully, and found that the Gorgon was stiff from head to toe, as if she was cursed by petrification.
Then, he picked up the plate on the ground, sniffed the remaining food smell, turned his head to look at the exquisite arrangement on the table, and then looked quietly at the goddess of wisdom opposite him.
"You didn't add any curing agent to it?"
"Is there? Well, probably, just a few ingredients."
Athena took a sip of wine and responded nonchalantly.
Ingredients? Who cooks without using soy sauce, vinegar, oil, and salt? Instead, they use ingredients from alchemy.
"Normal, normal."
Loen was mad in his heart, but he agreed insincerely. At the same time, he calmly pulled out Yurielle, who had become hard as a stick on the ground, and skillfully put her under the dining table.
And when the tablecloth was lifted, Stheno was shocked to find that there was a Centaur sage lying dead under the table.
Judging from the sloppy placement of the things, they probably stuffed them under the table when they opened the door.
"I suddenly remembered that there's something urgent going on at home! I'm leaving now, so I won't bother you anymore!"
Stheno suddenly stood up, turned around and rushed to the door, trying to escape from this terrible cave.
However, a hand like an iron clamp was already prepared to press on her shoulder, pulling her back and "kindly" dissuading her.
"What's the hurry? It's a rare occasion for us to get together. Let's eat the food first. This is the hard work of your main god, Athena. It's not good to waste the food."
Stheno forced a stiff smile and quickly declined.
"I, I'm not hungry. They say this is a welcome party for you. It would be inappropriate for me to ruin it. You should come first..."
"It's perfect, it's perfect. Why should we be so polite to our family?"
"I've been trying to lose weight recently and I have no appetite."
"Why are you losing weight at such a young age? I haven't seen you for a long time. Look, you don't even have any flesh on your bones."
The dinner plate on the table was pushed and pulled back and forth, and the two hands, one big and one small, pressing on it had veins bulging and their bones creaking.
“No…way…!”
"Absolutely... yes...!"
The two people who were sitting leaning against each other looked at each other with a smile, their voices squeezed out from between their teeth one word at a time. Because they spoke too forcefully, the expressions on their faces were indescribably hideous.
The original meaning of Stheno is "the daughter of strength". Among the three Gorgon maidens, although she is petite, she has the strongest arm strength. Lorne, who launches the "Bull", is not inferior in strength.
At this moment, the two parties wrestling with each other at the dining table are like mortal enemies fighting desperately on the battlefield, and they can't wait to stuff the plates full of delicious food into each other's mouths.
"Bang!"
Finally, a bare hand slammed the table in frustration, interrupting the scene of mutual courtesy between the two.
Athena looked around, looking angry.
"Why, you don't dare to eat it?"
"No, no!"
"Absolutely not!"
Lorne and Stheno sat upright, shaking their heads, but two hands, one big and one small, quietly pushed the plates away.
As the two forces intersected, the plate's rotation accelerated and slid between Hestia and Circe.
you……!
Hestia and Circe, who had been trying hard to reduce their presence, were hit by arrows even when they were lying down. They could not help but glare at the two culprits opposite them.
"It's just a meal. I didn't poison it. What's wrong with eating a little?"
Seeing that the diners were avoiding her work, Athena, unable to bear it any longer, stood up angrily.
"Watch it, at worst I'll try and show you!"
Feeling indignant, the goddess of wisdom grabbed the fork on the table, skewered a piece of cooked beef on the plate, and stuffed it into her mouth to chew, to prove her innocence and the harmlessness of the dish.
Hestia and Lorne were shocked when they saw this and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Athena took the beef in her mouth and chewed it for a few times. Her face froze, as if time had stopped.
Hestia and Lorne subconsciously held their breath and asked cautiously.
"How about it?"
"Are you okay?"
Athena came back to her senses after hearing the voice in her ear, glanced at the two nervous people, and sneered.
"It's just a bite of food, how could anything happen to me?"
Lorne coughed dryly, and his eyes became vague.
“And what about the taste?”
"smell?"
Athena picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth. Her Adam's apple moved quietly and then she hummed softly.
"What can a home-cooked meal taste like? Not too salty, not too bland, just right!"
That’s good, that’s good!
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there are still some edible dishes among so many.
Seeing that her niece seemed to have some talent in cooking, Hestia, the goddess of the stove, felt very pleased and began to praise her.
"Athena, you learned to cook so quickly? Not bad!"
"Yes, it looks great, and smells great too!"
Circe also echoed it, then looked at Hestia and prepared to eat some of the cooked beef on the plate to show her appreciation.
However, just as Hestia raised her fork and was about to put the beef into her mouth, a foot under the table suddenly kicked her leg hard, and the beef on the fork slid onto her small plate.
Look over there...
In the silent words, Hestia understood the other person's expression, and immediately followed Ron's gaze and looked at the trash can beside her.
Suddenly, she found that the discarded napkin was bulging, as if there was something hidden in it.
The stove goddess suddenly came to her senses, her body trembled, and she quickly put down her fork and sat up straight.
At this time, Circe had already stuffed the cooked beef on the fork into her mouth.
“This beef…”
In order to fully experience the flavor and texture of the dish and make a professional and objective evaluation, Circe even closed her eyes and did not notice the small movements of Hestia and Lorne at all.
Chewing...mmmm...very fresh...
Chew it again...hmm...very chewy...
Then chew it...very springy...
Finally chewing...well...chewing shit!
The texture is so rough that it feels like chewing on the sole of a shoe, and it just won't break no matter how hard you bite!
Is there any adhesive added in it?
Circe realized that something was wrong and wanted to vomit it out to avoid suffering this punishment.
However, when a deep gaze came over, the great witch immediately became timid. She could only swallow the "delicious" cooked beef in her mouth with tears and make a forced compliment.
“It tastes good, chewy and delicious!”
"If it tastes good, eat more!"
At this moment, the filial disciple beside him immediately stood up and immediately put the whole plate of cooked beef on the table into the plate in front of Circe.
By the way, he also took away the piece of cooked beef that had fallen from Hestia's small plate.
What a beast!
Looking at her good disciple who had done such a rebellious thing, and at the mountain of cooked beef in front of her and the indescribable pile of unknown food below, Circe's body trembled, and her voice was cut off. She silently put down her fork, forced a faint smile on her face, and stood up from her seat.
"You guys eat first, I want to..."
But two hands pulled her back to her original position, one after the other, interrupting her speech.
"What's the hurry? Eat first."
Lorne was smiling, while Hestia beside him lowered her head guiltily.
Bastard!
Seeing herself being roasted on the fire, Circe deeply hated her own gaffe.
However, as a hand placed on her back moved its index finger subtly, Circe, who had deciphered the specific content from it, immediately understood what it meant. She immediately made up her mind, picked up a piece of meat pie and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing for a while, her face changed drastically, and she grabbed Hestia's arm, wailing in pain.
“Save me, save me…”
"Circe! What is wrong with you? I hope nothing will happen to you!"
Hestia, who was standing by, immediately picked up her close friend, looked frightened, and rushed out the door.
At this moment, Lorne, who planned all this, also dragged the unconscious Chiron out from under the table.
"Teacher Ma, hold on too!"
The two men each supported a teammate and rushed out.
But as soon as Hestia and Circe, who were in the first group, stepped out of the door, a golden band of light rose from the ground, blocking Lorne's way.
"The welcoming banquet isn't over yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Hearing the faint groan behind him, Loen turned around helplessly and looked at Athena who seemed to be smiling at the dining table. He felt depressed and could only extinguish the only remaining glimmer of hope.
It was obvious that the opponent was coming for him.
With the same excuse, Hestia could escape early, but he couldn't.
Unless Athena declares the dinner over, or someone finishes the food on the table.
While thinking, Loen looked at the other Gorgon at the table with ill intent.
Immediately, Stheno reacted, and quickly forced an expression of sorrow and panic on his face. He dragged his sister, who was stiff under the table, and rushed towards the door.
"Eurielie, don't scare me, I'll take you to the doctor right now!"
“Leave it to me!”
At the same time, the "kind-hearted" figure took the initiative to step forward, snatched Euryale away, and threw her out together with Chiron in his hand.
As expected, the two unlucky food tasters were successfully thrown out of the door and landed in front of Hestia.
"They are just too full and need some sleep. One person is enough to take care of them."
With a smile on his face, Loen raised his hand to hold down Steno who was trying to run away, and dragged him back to the dining table.
Just die if you want to, why do you want to drag me down with you, you scum among scums!
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Stheno was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he wanted to pounce on him and bite that inhuman bastard to death.
