Hu Tao Wants Me to Eat Leftovers!
Hu Tao leaned in close and curiously asked:
"Huan Huan, do you eat vegetarian or meat?"
Lin Yuan's body, covered in scales, looked not only clumsy but also quite handsome.
Such an unusual appearance had already made Hu Tao want to keep Lin Yuan at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
However, to keep Lin Yuan, she needed to figure out what species he was and what he ate.
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had already raised several guest and ritual attendants,
If Lin Yuan had a large appetite, the parlor's already limited finances wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Ying ying ying."
Lin Yuan let out another clumsy sound, his eyes filled with confusion.
Shouldn't newborns be drinking milk?
Oh, wait, he's oviparous, not viviparous...
Lin Yuan was also confused; even he didn't know what species he was.
Was he vegetarian, carnivorous, or omnivorous?
Having crossed over without becoming a human and not even knowing what he was,
Lin Yuan felt a bit like a failure.
He lowered his head to look at his body; the dark golden scales looked very imposing,
His claws had five fingers, which were quite in line with human habits.
His whole body was slender like a snake. Lin Yuan turned his tail around and found golden fluff at the end of it.
He could only see this much on his own; he couldn't see the full picture of his body.
What on earth am I?
A snake? A fish? From what I can see, I can't be a lizard, right?
Lin Yuan was also puzzled; he hadn't seen this kind of monster in the game.
Hu Tao was also troubled about what to feed Lin Yuan.
Suddenly, she snapped her fingers and came up with a brilliant idea, saying to a ritual attendant:
"Old Meng, go get all the food from the parlor and see what Han Han would like to eat."
Since they couldn't figure it out, let Lin Yuan choose for himself.
Old Meng answered and left the main hall of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Before long, he returned with a bag of food.
He placed the bag on the ground and said with a helpless expression:
"Parlor Master, the food has been cut back recently; all we have are these leftovers."
Hu Tao opened the bag, and a faint sour smell wafted out.
She laughed boldly and said:
"It's okay, let's try these first; maybe Huan Huan isn't picky!"
Although leftovers were not edible for humans, most animals wouldn't be choosy.
Moreover, if Lin Yuan could eat these leftovers, it would be much easier to take care of him.
It might even help the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor reduce food waste.
Hu Tao held the bag up to Lin Yuan, wearing a mischievous smile, and said:
"Hehe, Huan Huan, come here, come here, there's something delicious!"
As soon as Lin Yuan smelled the faint sour odor from the bag, he turned his head away.
This Hu Tao was really too much; she actually wanted him to eat leftovers.
Even though he wasn't human right now, he would never eat these leftovers.
What if something went wrong? Liyue probably didn't even have a qualified veterinarian.
At that moment, Hu Tao's smile seemed a bit sinister in Lin Yuan's eyes.
He suddenly felt that staying at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor might not be as safe as he imagined.
This quirky Parlor Master was too good at toying with people.
Hu Tao walked over, holding the bag of leftovers,
Seeing Lin Yuan turn his head away.
As she rummaged through the bag, she said with ill intent:
"Huan Huan, don't be nervous; this is all normal food. Once you try it, you'll find it's really tasty."
Hu Tao pulled out a piece of meat from the bag, holding it between her two fingers and bringing it to Lin Yuan's mouth,
"How about this nutritious piece of pork? You must like it!"
The sour smell wafting from the pork nearly made Lin Yuan sneeze.
Is this something humans eat?
No, wait, he's not human now...
But he didn't want to eat this stuff.
Who knows what would happen if he put this meat in his mouth.
In Lin Yuan's eyes, the piece of pork seemed to emit a black toxic gas.
He hurriedly turned his head the other way and swatted away the pork that Hu Tao offered.
"Oh dear, it's such a waste to throw away food!"
Hu Tao chuckled and rummaged through the bag again, pulling out a leaf of green vegetable, saying:
"Looks like Huan Huan doesn't like meat; how about this big leaf of nature?"
This vegetable leaf didn't seem to have any sour smell.
Lin Yuan peeked at it and saw that the leaf was already yellowing with a few holes.
This vegetable leaf looked as bad as the pork just now.
Eating this stuff, would it really not poison him?
Lin Yuan shook his head and swatted the vegetable leaf away again.
Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise:
"Huan Huan doesn't eat meat and doesn't eat vegetables; what should we do?"
The people behind them at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor looked helpless.
"Parlor Master, perhaps Han Han just doesn't like leftovers."
"Yeah, Huan Huan has just been born; he can't eat these unsanitary things."
"Let's wait until dinner time and let Huan Huan try again."
These foods had no appeal even for them, let alone for the adorable Lin Yuan.
Probably only the eccentric Hu Tao would think Lin Yuan would be willing to eat these things.
The people of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor looked at Lin Yuan with a hint of sympathy.
After listening to the staff, Hu Tao suddenly realized and put down the bag, saying:
"Oh, so Han Han doesn't eat leftover food; I thought he was like the dogs in restaurants."
Lin Yuan was completely speechless; comparing him to restaurant dogs was too degrading.
Lin Yuan felt it was necessary to quickly determine his species to avoid encountering such situations again.
He looked around and finally found a bronze mirror on an antique shelf.
With this mirror, he could see his entire appearance.
Lin Yuan moved his paw, just about to crawl over to the bronze mirror.
Just then, Hu Tao picked him up and placed him in her arms, saying:
"Huan Huan, don't be angry; I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight."
Seeing Lin Yuan move forward, she thought he wanted to leave because of the leftover food.
Lin Yuan struggled a bit in Hu Tao's embrace,
He wanted to look in the mirror to see what he looked like.
But Hu Tao held him tightly, teasing:
"Oh, I said I wouldn't let you eat those leftovers; don't be scared."
Lin Yuan was helpless. Although he felt that if he used all his strength, he could escape Hu Tao's embrace,
He was worried about hurting her, so he temporarily gave up on moving.
The people at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor looked at Lin Yuan in Hu Tao's arms, amazed:
"Huan Huan seems to understand what the Parlor Master is saying."
"Just born and already so intelligent; Huan Huan is no ordinary being."
