Kiana and four others walked together in Nights Echo Alley. The five beautiful maidens, and a Dragon Lord loli, became a beautiful sight here.
At this moment, Jingliu had already made some changes to her attire at Kiana's suggestion.
If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't immediately recognize her as Jingliu.
Kiana had temporarily issued an external notice saying that Jingliu had been detained in the Extreme Cold Ice Prison.
Speaking of the Extreme Cold Ice Prison.
Two days ago, the Ten-Lords Commission even sent people to investigate, saying that the frigid environment here, which could freeze any evil aura, was very suitable for confining evil spirits.
So, they might send people to Warahip to set up a Ten-Lords Commission branch in a few days.
They would also transfer a small portion of the prisoners held in Shackling Prison and other Xianzhou prisons.
After all, the number of serious offenders detained by those Xianzhou for a long time was simply too high, and problems would arise sooner or later if this continued.
At this critical juncture, a new Xianzhou appeared, bringing with it an Extreme Cold Ice Prison that was larger than all other Xianzhou prisons.
This just happened to solve the problem.
So, the Ten-Lords Commission is probably already extremely busy, as transferring criminals is a task that allows no mistakes.
Ahem, back to Kiana.
As the five walked together, many Warahip residents enthusiastically greeted Kiana.
Some stall owners even gave Kiana their special snacks.
Because they were too enthusiastic, Kiana found it hard to refuse, so she accepted them one by one. But because there were too many, Kiana put all the snacks into her system space.
Fortunately, the Xianzhou people were only enthusiastic now and didn't surround her like last time.
Soon, Kiana arrived at a barbecue restaurant in the middle section of Nights Echo Alley.
"Brother Kalpas's Barbecue"
This shop was the one Kiana gave to Kalpas, and Kiana chose its location in the middle section, which had more foot traffic.
"It really looks like there are a lot of people!"
Kiana exclaimed in disbelief, seeing that all the tables set outside were full.
Is Kalpas's barbecue really that fragrant?
Moreover, most of the people at the tables seemed to be Xianzhou natives, with only a few outsiders.
It seems Brother Kalpas's craftsmanship is very popular, attracting such a large number of customers in just a few days.
It's probably related to Kalpas's cooking skills and the beer from Earth... Kiana thought, looking at the beer bottles on several tables.
"How can a barbecue restaurant with such a vulgar name be so popular?"
Bailu touched the corner of her mouth, looking at the customers sitting outside the shop, her tone slow, her voice full of confusion.
It wasn't that she hadn't eaten barbecue before; there were so many barbecue places in the Luofu, and she had tried them all, their tastes mostly similar.
Although the taste wasn't bad, it was the first time she had seen a business this popular.
So what exactly is the magic of this place?
"Hey, hey, hey, excuse me, customers up front!"
At this moment, a figure wearing a white cat-eared hoodie and cape zipped past them like a gust of wind.
"Hey, customer, sorry for the wait, your food is here~"
"Little Cat!!! Come and take the dishes!!!"
At this moment, an irritable voice came from the barbecue restaurant's kitchen. It was clear that the owner of the voice was in a hurry.
"Hey! Brother Kalpas! Coming, coming!"
Pardofelis ran past them again, but this time she ran past and then doubled back.
"Isn't this Sister Aponia and Sister Kiana? Bringing friends to eat?"
Saying that, Pardofelis's gaze drifted towards the three unfamiliar people.
Especially Jingliu, who had a dangerous aura about her that made Pardofelis's Tail bristle slightly.
"Yes, Pardo, are there any seats left?"
"Yes, the largest private room inside. It's always empty. Although Brother Kalpas didn't say it, this must be the special room he prepared for those he approves of!"
Pardo nodded.
During this time, Pardo was no longer so afraid of Kalpas. After all, although Kalpas seemed short-tempered, he was actually very meticulous in his emotions.
"Then take us there first."
"Okay~ Sister Kiana, Sister Aponia, and the three of you, follow me inside."
After speaking, Pardo started to lead the way, but her steps were hurried.
Because she was still in a hurry to serve the dishes, otherwise Brother Kalpas would get angry again.
"Pardo, why are you helping out here with Kalpas?"
On the way to the private room, Kiana asked somewhat curiously.
"Oh, this. I was originally stealing... ahem, 'procuring goods' at the Interstellar Peace Corporation, but then I suddenly received an urgent notice from Brother Kalpas saying he was too busy, so I was pulled in to help."
"I see."
Kiana nodded knowingly.
She guessed that Brother Kalpas's tone when he asked Pardo for help must have scared Pardo, which is why she came to help... Soon, Pardo led them to the private room, then placed the menu in front of Kiana and scurried away.
"Where's the waiter...?"
Kiana said, the corner of her mouth twitching as she held the menu.
How can I order without a waiter!
"You guys wait for me, I'll go check the kitchen..."
With that, Kiana got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Kiana heard a passionate laugh, filled with an unyielding fighting spirit.
"Hahahahaha! Burn, burn! Burn everything to ashes!"
"Until everything, until death!"
"Burn it all! Brush with oil! Cumin! Chili powder!"
"Meat skewers! Yield! And then! Wail! Hahahahahaha!"
Kalpas moved like lightning, doing the work of five barbecue chefs by himself.
Moreover, he could precisely control the heat for each skewer.
His movements, though wild, were not lacking in finesse.
"Little Cat! Take this! Let those guys outside feel my endless wrath! Hahahaha!"
Kalpas quickly placed a handful of perfectly grilled skewers on a plate and tossed it to Pardo.
Pardo steadily caught the plate and vanished from the kitchen like a gust of wind.
And their actions repeated countless times.
"No wonder there's no waiter. So, he's treating Pardo like a Japanese worker, huh?"
Kalpas alone was several top-tier barbecue chefs, and Pardo alone was several waiters.
But Pardo's speed could indeed accomplish this... "Kalpas, when you're a little free, send some skewers to my private room, five servings."
"Hehehehaha, Ki! A! Na! You're here! Just in time for you to feel the wrath of the Finality!"
Kalpas turned his head, his eyes through the mask's slits gleaming, but his barbecue movements didn't stop at all.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Kalpas seemed to sense something, looked towards the private room, and then a cruel grin spread across his face.
"A... po... ni... a! Just in time for you to experience the sensation of being consumed by flames! Feel my wrath!"
Immediately, Kalpas turned around, his body igniting with scorching orange-red flames. In an instant, the entire kitchen transformed into a fiery furnace.
"Meow!!! Whew! Whew!"
Pardo had just returned after delivering the dishes, and a spark landed on her Tail, scaring her into quickly grabbing her Tail and blowing on it.
"Uh..."
Kiana's mouth twitched, and she silently left the place. Fortunately, Xianzhou's technology was robust, with materials that could withstand such high temperatures... Kiana could feel that Kalpas's attitude towards Aponia was gradually improving.
After all, the two were originally like family on Dusk Street.
It was only later, because Sakura's death was indirectly caused by Aponia's Precepts, that Kalpas broke ties with her.
Now that everything had returned to normal, his hatred for Aponia was gradually dissipating. Perhaps one day, they would return to how they were originally on Dusk Street.
