Chapter 85 Eat the soft stuff but not the tough stuff

There was no coffin to look at, so Helia had to let Jepas take her somewhere else. Along the way, she kept asking him questions, so as to get more clues to deduce what kind of power the God of Slaughter held.

"Wednesday said you can predict the future, so you are from the Tanasha family, right?" Helia asked.

"Yes, but not completely." Jepas said ambiguously, "It's just that the name has Tanasha's last name, there is no other connection."

Speaking of names, Helia was indeed still concerned about Qiqi's real name that was blocked by the mysterious power, and asked, "By the way, I still don't know your real name even after knowing you for so long, so what is your name?"

Jepas just stared at her without saying anything.

Helia observed his expression and speculated, "You can't say it, right?"

"Sister is very smart." Jepas smiled, then pointed upwards, made a cross in front of his lips, and shook his head, probably meaning that there was something in the sky that prevented him from telling her his real name.

Helia felt that it was most likely Order who did it. Although she didn't know why they had to hide Seven's real name from her, she thought that only Order could directly interfere with reality and block key words.

Well, actually, she didn't really want to know the other person's name at the beginning, but the more she was stopped from knowing it, the more rebellious she became, and she just wanted to find out the truth.

As it stands now, she has no better way to escape except to compromise. The fighting ability that she is so proud of is not enough in front of Qi Qi. Moreover, with her broken body, she will not be able to escape even if she runs to death!

Since I can't escape now, I might as well take this opportunity to get close to Jepas and improve his favorability. It's better than going against him in everything and getting tortured to death...

Helia put her hands behind her back, took two quick steps closer to Jepas, turned her body to look at him, and asked, "Then what do you want me to call you? Jepas? Or Seven? Or Archbishop? Or Envoy of God?"

"Sister, you can yell at me however you want. I don't care." Jepas was obviously happy that Helia was interested in him, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Emmmm..." Helia looked at Jepas's face carefully, looking left and right, trying to find some outstanding features.

If there was one thing about Jepas that attracted her most, it was definitely his emotionless red eyes. They were as beautiful as rubies and seemed to have a whirlpool that would make people fall into them at first sight.

A word flashed through her mind, and Helia couldn't help but smile with her eyes bent, and said happily: "How about the little fox? When I first saw you, I thought your eyes were very special, as cunning as a fox."

The curve of Jepas's mouth slowly straightened, and he stared into Helia's unforgettable sapphire eyes. It seemed as if he was looking at her, but also as if he was looking at someone else through her.

But soon he grinned again, "I said, it's up to you, sister."

"Hehe, little fox." Helia's mood improved inexplicably. "Then how did you, a little fox, join the Morogen Cult?"

"I've seen Wednesday's memories. He and Monday are indeed brothers. They grew up together. But you and Friday are definitely not. You should just be sworn brothers."

"And even if you say that you just use the surname Tanasha, you must be a member of the Tanasha family. And based on your ability to accurately predict what will happen fifteen years later, you must not be an ordinary person in the Tanasha family."

"So why did you leave the Tanasa family and join this evil cult?"

After being asked this series of questions, Jepas couldn't help laughing. He felt like he was back in the past. He couldn't help but say with emotion: "Sister really hasn't changed at all. She always has so many questions."

"Hmm?" Helia frowned in confusion. "What are you saying? Haven't we just known each other for a short time?"

Jepas didn't respond to her question and answered her previous question instead: "When I was young, I was kicked out of the Tanasha family because I studied forbidden magic. I was wandering on the streets. My third brother picked me up, and then I lived with my eldest and second brothers."

"As for the Morogen sect, it was because my eldest brother joined first and we were worried about him, so we joined one after another later."

"But I didn't expect that I was gifted and became an archbishop after just a few years. I was also appreciated by my Lord and became a divine messenger."

In the last sentence, Helia inexplicably heard a hint of Cha Cha's tone, that kind of "Ah? You mean this brand-name bag? Oh, it's a reward given to me by my parents as a reward for my hard work." So pretentious and embarrassing.

"Speaking of which, apart from the late Monday whom I have never seen in my life, the only one I have never seen is Wednesday. Is he here too?" Helia asked curiously.

Jepas was silent again, obviously not wanting to talk about this issue any further.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask." Helia was not the kind of person who was completely ignorant, and she didn't really want to know the question.

However, does this mean that the relationship between the four brothers is not that good? At least the relationship between Friday and Saturday is definitely not as close as that between Monday and Wednesday. After all, they did not grow up together.

Uh...but she has seen a lot of brothers turning against each other...

It was daytime now. A full day and two nights had passed since Helia was captured. The first night she was knocked unconscious in the dungeon, and the second night she was taken back to the house by Monday and had a good sleep. Now she was taken by Jepas to wander around in this underground castle for a long time, and it was time to eat.

"Sister, don't forget to cook a meal for me!" Jepas smiled again and pushed Helia towards the kitchen.

"I really can't cook. You, you, you should at least call the cook to come over and give me some guidance." Helia didn't refuse, but she generally didn't like to do things that she was not sure of, and she felt unsure.

"No need, I believe in my sister's cooking skills." Jepas pushed her in front of the stove in an irresistible manner. There were many ingredients on it, some she had seen and some she hadn't seen before. If you didn't know, you would think she was going to prepare a banquet.

Jepas was very considerate and took the apron and put it around her waist from behind to tie it for her. Then he put the kitchen knife in her hand, then stood aside with a smile, leaning on the tableware cabinet with his arms folded, "Sister, let's get started."

Helia looked at him awkwardly, still holding up the kitchen knife in her hand, and confirmed again: "You really want me to make it? I'll eat it no matter how it's cooked?"

Jepas smiled and nodded.

Well... Although I don't know why this guy wants to eat my food so much, but since he is so sincere and she doesn't have to take responsibility, then...

Just give it a try!

Helia put down the kitchen knife, rolled up her sleeves, tucked the hair hanging on the side of her face behind her ears, and first picked out the ingredients she could still identify from the pile of messy ingredients and put them aside for later use.

She planned to make a hodgepodge, just throw all the vegetables she knew into a pot, add some water and stew them, and then add some seasoning. Well, it’s okay if you don’t add any, anyway it shouldn’t kill people.

Besides, Jepas shouldn't be considered a human being anymore.

She first washed a large pot, filled it halfway with water and placed it on the stove. Then she washed those things that looked like vegetables at first glance, folded them into small pieces and put them aside for later use.

As for the meat, she saw a plucked chicken, picked up a kitchen knife and chopped it into small pieces before throwing it into the pot. Then she picked out a steak that looked edible and tried to use it to replace the ribs, but because she didn't have the strength in her hands to cut it, she had to throw the whole piece into the pot. Fortunately, the pot was big enough, which made Helia wonder if it had been used to cook some other big thing before.

Although I can't eat it, I should be able to cook it to taste, she thought.

Then she summoned her wand, lit the fire with magic, covered the pot with a lid and stewed the meat. This would take some time, and since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well cook some vegetables and meat she had never seen before.

"What is this?" Helia picked up a vegetable that was round in appearance but had layers of cracks and bumps inside and showed it to Jepas, and asked.

"The cabbage gets its name because it grows on trees and is wrapped in layers," replied Jepas.

"Oh! You know vegetables? So you can cook, right?" Helia thought that what was in her hand looked a bit like cabbage, but the color was not right. It was the kind of fluorescent green that made people lose their appetite at all.

"I can't say I can. I just know how to cook a few simple dishes. Sister, would you like to try my cooking?" Jepas smiled gently, and looking like a decent man.

Helia shook her head, and quickly shook out the idea that didn't fit the current atmosphere, but Jepas took it as a refusal. Although Helia really didn't want to eat, he was a little unhappy about it.

"You probably don't know, but I have a bad stomach and can't eat anything random." Helia patted her belly and explained.

But Jepas showed a hint of surprise, "Sister, your stomach is not good? I have never heard you mention it."

"It's not an important matter. Why do you keep talking about it? People who don't often eat with me usually don't know." Helia picked up a handful of oddly shaped vegetables and looked at them left and right, frowning slightly, as if she couldn't understand how such ugly things could be on the table.

"If you eat a few more meals with me, you'll find that I'm quite picky about food."

Jepas did not reply, remaining silent as usual, as if he was thinking about something, while Helia continued to silently comment on these strange-looking vegetables and meats in her mind. During this time, she scooped out the blood foam floating on the surface of the pot and skimmed it off before adding the vegetables.

When Helia was about to serve the pot of stew that smelled a bit strange and looked particularly weird to the table, she suddenly didn't want to let Jepas eat it. It wasn't because she was afraid of poisoning this guy, but she was afraid of being laughed at. Such a disgusting thing actually came from her hand?

"Sister, I'm getting hungry waiting, please bring it up quickly." Jepas, who had been sitting at the dining table waiting early, couldn't help but smile when he saw Helia stop halfway, and urged.

"You'll starve to death..." Helia cursed in a low voice. Of course she knew that the other party was not hungry and didn't need to eat, so why was he still hungry?

With the mentality of "out of sight, out of mind", she slammed the pot of something that looked like No. 25 concrete mixed with cement in front of Jepas, then sat down in a seat farthest away from him, ready to eat the dinner that Jepas had someone prepare for her.

Just as Helia finished wiping her hands, she heard Jepas covering his mouth and staring at the unknown pot with his hands, laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking. She was so angry that she threw her handkerchief on the ground and cursed, "Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny! I told you I can't cook! But you forced me to cook! It's good enough to have something to eat!"

“Hahaha! I’m sorry, sister! It’s just that I really didn’t expect it, hahaha!” Jepas couldn’t stop laughing, he could never have imagined that someone could cook like this.

"You'd better eat it all." Helia gripped the knife and fork tightly in her hand and gritted her teeth. If she hadn't known that she couldn't beat him at all, she would have thrown the knife and fork in her hand as a dart. You can't be killed!

But when she saw Jepas really pick up the spoon and scoop a spoonful of the unknown sticky substance in the pot into his mouth, Helia couldn't help but frowning. She felt that the goose legs on the plate were not fragrant anymore, and inexplicably had the illusion that she was abusing children.

Jepas swallowed the food in his mouth, tasted it carefully and commented seriously: "Hmm...it tastes pretty good. Sister, your cooking skills are pretty good."
