"Don't run, we're guests!"
Meng Meng kicked the door open in anger, grabbed the little pig by its ear, and yanked it up.
The little pig struggled, kicking its four short legs in an attempt to kick Meng Meng. After a series of kicks that landed only on air, the little pig gave up, panting.
"Guests? You're here to be a guest? Our Baron's Castle doesn't welcome you."
"Oh, they don't welcome me? Meng Meng is so sad."
With that, Meng Meng gently placed the little pig on the ground, sighed, and looked at Wan Lei and the others.
"Since they don't welcome us, let's just roast a suckling pig for ourselves."
The little pig's face changed drastically.
"You're talking nonsense! Our Baron's Castle is the most hospitable! Please, follow me."
The little pig ran into the castle first, with Meng Meng and Wan Lei's group following.
After passing through a short foyer, Wan Lei and the others arrived in the castle's main hall and got a clear view of the scene.
The room was dirty, covered in dust. Whether it was on the sofa, the coffee table, or the dining table, a thick layer of dust had settled. No one knew what the fat maid sweeping the floor was actually cleaning.
The fat maid saw Meng Meng and shrieked in terror, jumping incredibly high.
Indeed, she jumped high, perhaps exaggeratedly so. Everyone saw the fat maid's head hit the ceiling, which was at least five meters high.
What a scare! She could jump that high?
Wasn't that an idiom?
"Woe is me, the nightmare demon is here again! Run!"
After falling to the ground, the fat maid grabbed her broom, mounted it, and made grunting sounds, as if she were truly flying on it.
She "flew" for a while but hadn't moved from her spot.
The fantastical scene in the castle widened Wan Lei's and the others' eyes.
These were the people Meng Meng said were cruel and often bullied her?
Was it the other way around?
It seemed like the people here were often bullied by Meng Meng.
Look how terrified they were.
"Everyone, please come and sit here. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain our esteemed guests."
The little pig butler skillfully led everyone towards the dining table.
"Hey, Peggy, the master ordered that no one is allowed to visit the castle today, or the castle will be in great danger. Why did you bring them in?"
"What could I do? If you have the ability, then ask the nightmare demon… Fairy Meng Meng to leave! I can't do that. They'll just eat and leave, there won't be any trouble."
"You're insane! You madwoman, how dare you let outsiders into our clean and tidy castle? What if they dirty my floors?!"
The fat maid, still mounted on her broom, continued to yell.
Wan Lei glanced at the floor, where his footsteps left distinct marks. He wondered if the standard of cleanliness in this world was different from their own.
"Shut up, you idiot! Hurry and get the master's treasured wine to entertain our guests.
Oh my heavens, you clueless witch who can't even fly on a broom, I really want to kick your behind with the tip of my leather shoe.
Hurry!"
After speaking with an unpleasant, translated accent, the little pig butler arrived at the dining table.
The dining table was long and rectangular, with a main seat in the middle and rows of chairs on either side, a typical Western dining table.
The little pig butler pulled out six chairs one by one, inviting everyone to be seated.
No one sat.
It was too damned dirty! The dust was at least a centimeter thick. How could anyone eat like this?
Although none of them had obsessive-compulsive disorder, basic hygiene was important, wasn't it? The dining environment should at least be clean.
Wait, no, we're here to kill people, not to be guests at your house. Why are we eating?
"Esteemed guests, please enjoy your meal."
The little pig butler jumped onto the table and opened each plate in sequence.
The spread was incredibly lavish, a dazzling array that made Wan Lei and the others…
Nearly vomit on the spot.
The first dish was braised edible bird spider. The spider was larger than a human head, dark and motionless on the plate, covered in vegetable oil.
The second dish was salt-baked giant centipede, its legs removed and its head placed on its body.
The third dish was bat soup. A cute little bat had half its neck severed and was floating in the green soup, looking very appetizing.
The fourth dish was a live poisonous toad. Yes, the toad was alive, tied to the plate with a knife and fork placed beside it.
The fifth dish…
"Blech…"
Someone finally couldn't hold back. Wang Fei was the first to vomit, followed by Hong Lian and Feng Bing.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were slightly better, as they had encountered dishes disguised as human limbs and severed parts in the Fate Diagram world. They had a slightly better resistance to the current offerings.
Immediately after, the fat maid… Oh no, she was a witch. The witch walked over with a bottle of wine. Looking at the bottle alone, there was nothing special about it.
But when the witch started pouring, even Wan Lei, with his composure, almost vomited.
Into a dusty wine goblet, a green, foul-smelling liquid was poured, bubbling and gurgling.
This didn't resemble wine; it was more like a failed alchemical potion that could kill people.
"Are you sure this is wine?"
Forcing down the nausea in his stomach, Wan Lei quietly asked Meng Meng.
"Of course! It's wine made from green grapes, so it's green."
Damn it, don't lie to me just because I'm uneducated. Wine made from green grapes isn't this color either.
"Come, eat quickly."
Meng Meng hopped to the first seat, placed a foot on the chair, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip. Then, she broke off a spider leg and started chewing.
This scene successfully made Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu vomit as well.
"Huh? Why aren't you eating? This is delicious. I've eaten it before when I came here. Try it quickly."
Wan Lei no longer believed Meng Meng's claim of never having been here before.
"No, no. We in the immortal cultivation world cannot eat the food of your supernatural world."
"Alas, what a shame. It's such delicious food, why won't you eat it?"
As Meng Meng spoke, she picked up another centipede and began gnawing on it.
While Meng Meng was feasting, Wan Lei and the others naturally wouldn't eat. With nothing else to do, they began to survey this strange castle.
However, Wan Lei noticed that the witch had, at some point, crept behind Meng Meng, holding a weapon. It looked like she was about to sneak attack Meng Meng.
Wan Lei's expression tensed. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the witch was holding a baguette!
What the heck? A baguette could be used as a weapon?
Wan Lei had eaten this thing in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm. It was hard, but not hard enough to kill someone, was it?
Besides, we are all standing here watching. What are you trying to do with that sneaky attack?
Your footsteps sound like an earthquake!
