Chapter 228: Nothing wrong

Sophie, who has always been on the verge of life and death and has never taken over the management task at all, obviously has not realized how wrong his ideas are. At least, Sophie has not realized how unpalatable the things made by the witch team under her.

Looking at Sophie's pretending to be modest, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but frown and thought to himself: "Sophie won't realize that these witches are so rare to eat!"

Just as Du Xiaochuan was muttering in his heart, Sophie had already stood up from this seat.

After Sophie finished speaking, she was already planning to leave the room where Du Xiaochuan was.

After all, since she knew that Sun Xiya and others had secretly followed outside, she planned to terminate the conversation with Du Xiaochuan. If she leaked too much information when talking to Du Xiaochuan, it would be really not good to let the witches under him realize that their relationship with Du Xiaochuan's so-called "old friend" was actually lying, that would be really bad.

Seeing Sophie stand up from her seat, Du Xiaochuan naturally understood that Sophie seemed to have already planned to leave.

Originally, Du Xiaochuan and Sophie had nothing to say. If it were before, Du Xiaochuan wouldn't care about anything; but now, Du Xiaochuan naturally realized that the witches seemed to have no idea how unbearable the things they made were.

Du Xiaochuan hesitated for a while and saw that Sophie was about to leave, but the heaviest thing was to say: "Captain Su, please wait a moment! But mine is something, and I want to ask Captain Su. I don't know, Captain Su thinks how the food has been in the past few days?"

Seeing that Du Xiaochuan called him and raised this topic, it was obviously beyond Sophie's expectations, but he still said: "It should be okay! Our Witch Team has always had such dietary arrangements. Isn't Fellow Du used to it?"

Although he had already expected it, Du Xiaochuan Zhen could not help but smile on her face when she heard this answer: "I didn't expect that it was really like this!"

"What we made in the Witch Team is really so unpalatable?" Sophie looked at Du Xiaochuan with an incredible face and asked in confusion.

"Um!"

Du Xiaochuan answered firmly again.

Just now, Du Xiaochuan had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the food that the witches were responsible for these days. At the beginning, Sophie still looked surprised and didn't believe what Du Xiaochuan said. However, after Du Xiaochuan's repeated confirmation, Sophie finally realized that Du Xiaochuan was not joking. The things made by his witch team were really so difficult to swallow in Du Xiaochuan's mouth.

After Du Xiaochuan's repeated confirmation, Sophie showed a half-willed and half-ugly smile and said, "So that's the case, but it's no wonder! I always thought that the things made by our witch team should be quite delicious!"

Just as Sophie showed a rather awkward expression on her face, Sun Xiya and others outside became very strange. The witches who were listening to Sophie and Du Xiaochuan's conversation with interest all turned gloomy.

When Du Xiaochuan saw Sophie's ugly expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel confused: "I'm just saying that the food from the Witch Team is not delicious, so it won't show such an expression!"

Du Xiaochuan's previous evaluation of the food made by the Witch Team was just expressing his true feelings, hoping that these witches could improve. After all, if all the food they have been made is this kind of food, Du Xiaochuan's patience would probably really reach its limit. Du Xiaochuan's true feelings were expressed, and he just hoped that these witches could swallow some of the food they made, and there was absolutely no other meaning.

However, it is precisely because the food made by these witches is too unpalatable. To outsiders, I'm afraid Du Xiaochuan's evaluation is really quite harsh.

However, Du Xiaochuan really just expressed his feelings. After all, for this group of witches who are carrying out various dangerous figures, this kind of thing should be just a trivial matter. These witches should not be so stingy that they care about Du Xiaochuan's small request.

Du Xiaochuan didn't expect that what he said was, Sophie's reaction was obviously a bit too extreme.

Just when Du Xiaochuan thought that what he said had offended Sophie and wanted to say something, what he wanted to say was interrupted by Sophie.

Sophie smiled awkwardly, and then said, "I didn't expect that what our witch team made would taste like this in normal people. I'm really sorry to let fellow Daoist Du eat this kind of thing for a long time. But fellow Daoist Du must not misunderstand it. Although the people under my command are quite hostile to fellow Daoist Du, they don't mean to do this because they make these foods so unpalatable!"

When Du Xiaochuan saw Sophie showing an embarrassed look, he said indifferently: "Of course I know this. I will just give this a little reminder. I hope the Witches will try to make it better next time when making food!"

But in fact, Du Xiaochuan has been wondering whether these witches were particularly tampering with the preparation of food for him. Otherwise, he would not believe that what normal people make would be so unpalatable. Moreover, Du Xiaochuan also saw that the witches who were eating the same food as him looked like they were full of relish.

The most likely situation is that these witches are specially added to the food prepared for him, which is so unpalatable.

Du Xiaochuan also knew that these witches were hostile to him. It was not impossible for these witches to do such things.

"Did I think too much!"

Seeing that Sophie didn't seem to be lying, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but start to doubt that he didn't think too much before.

Just as Du Xiaochuan was turning these thoughts in his mind, Sophie said in a very embarrassing way: "As for improving the taste of food in the future, it may disappoint fellow Daoist Du! After all, when we merged the blood of the elf and became a witch, we had already lost our sense of taste! Even if we achieved this kind of Zeng Du, it was already the best effort of our witch team. If we want to improve it, it is probably not possible in a short time."

When Du Xiaochuan heard Sophie's words just now, he was stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "What? Loss... Loss of taste! What kind of consciousness is this?"

Although Du Xiaochuan had heard everything Sophie said just now and had understood the meaning of it. However, Du Xiaochuan now felt that he had understood it wrongly just now.

Soon Sophie's next words made Du Xiaochuan deeply understand that there was no mistake in his understanding just now.

Seeing Du Xiaochuan's surprised expression, Sophie smiled bitterly and said, "Haha, fellow Daoist Du should not be wrong, it means literally! Although we witches have merged the blood of elf and gained powerful power, we do not need to pay any price to obtain this power. When we merged the blood of elf, we will lose our sense of taste! This is also the price of gaining powerful power! Haha, although we don't want to have this power at all!"

After Sophie finished speaking, Du Xiaochuan looked at Sophie in a daze, but from Sophie's face without any expression, she couldn't see anything at all.

"So that's it!"

I don’t know how long it took, but Du Xiaochuan could only say this lightly.

Du Xiaochuan finally understood why the food made by these witches was actually a taste that was unimaginable. The taste that was difficult to swallow was even a person with a normal taste, no matter how hard he could not handle the ingredients, he would not be so unpalatable.

It is precisely because of this unpalatable food that exceeds the lower limit of normal people that Du Xiaochuan mistakenly thinks that these witches made this kind of thing specifically for him, making him think that compared with these witches who eat with relish, they are foods that have been specifically tampered with by these witches.

However, Du Xiaochuan finally understood now. The witches and what he ate were the same.

The reason why these witches eat something that exceeds the lower limit of normal people is that they actually have no sense of taste at all.

These witches can't tell whether the things they make are delicious or unpalatable.

It was not until this time that Du Xiaochuan realized that normal humans would lose their taste after they merged into the elves' bloodline and became witches.

"So there is such a thing! But why, I never heard of it when I was in Parliament!"

Hearing Du Xiaochuan's question, Sophie couldn't help but sneer: "People who fuse the elf blood will lose their sense of taste. For the parliament, it is just a complete trivial matter. How can we care about our feelings? What the parliament cares about will always be what kind of power the person who fuse the elf blood will gain and what benefits it will bring to the parliament. As for such small things like losing the taste, where is the value of the parliament's attention!"

Du Xiaochuan narrowed his eyes and silently finished listening to Sophie's words. The light flashed in his eyes, not knowing what he was heading towards.

"That's it!" Du Xiaochuan sighed long, and finally could only say lightly again.

Du Xiaochuan could understand this. For the council, the witches are just tools that can be discarded after using them. For the witches who have combined the blood of the elves and lose their sense of taste, the council will not take it seriously at all.

Even if Du Xiaochuan had searched for information about these witches in the Infinite Library, he was only looking for the power characteristics obtained by these witches after fusing the elves' bloodline. The books Du Xiaochuan had seen may have introduced this aspect, but Du Xiaochuan did not read it carefully. Du Xiaochuan didn't care about other introductions at all.

Even Du Xiaochuan is like this. For practitioners who don’t care about things that have nothing to do with him, they just hang up and don’t care about it.

Sophie looked at Du Xiaochuan, who was squinting his eyes and was thinking about something, and finally smiled and said, "Haha, this is just a trivial matter; Fellow Daoist Du doesn't have to take it to heart!"

"But for you, it must be difficult to accept losing your sense of taste!" Du Xiaochuan glanced at Sophie, who was smiling again, and thought to himself.

When Sophie settled in this castle, in the long conversation with Du Xiaochuan, as one of the few conditions for her to keep a secret for Du Xiaochuan, Sophie proposed the condition that she could have dinner with her witches once a day.

Du Xiaochuan once felt quite strange about this. After all, even for practitioners who have achieved success in their cultivation, even for Du Xiaochuan's cultivation, they have cut off their food needs. These witches who have reached the real human realm naturally do not have this need.

Although ordinary practitioners do not give up on their diet, they only regard it as a pleasure in life. Eating once a few days is the habit of practitioners. For example, the witch team actually holds a meal every day. From the perspective of practitioners, it is actually a bit strange, and it can even be said to be a bit paranoid.

However, at that time, Du Xiaochuan only regarded this as a strange rule of the witch team. However, Du Xiaochuan already knew that these witches had lost all their sense of taste; even if Du Xiaochuan was stupid, he had already understood why witches such as Sophie had such paranoidness about dinner parties once a day.

This kind of daily dinner is naturally not fun for the witches who have no taste.

Du Xiaochuan's opinion, the witches' paranoid dinner party can actually be regarded as a ritual. It is just a contempt for what they have lost and for being a human being.

Du Xiaochuan has been thinking about these witches who acted like ordinary noise on the dining table, which made him quite bored. Now he finally realized that it was just something similar to a ritual.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaochuan thought of these witches again. He kept laughing in the central restaurant, like an ordinary girl. Not only did he not feel the atmosphere sometimes at all, but he had a very sad feeling that rose in his heart.

In this atmosphere, Du Xiaochuan no longer knows what to say about Sophie on the other side.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was quite dull, Sophie broke the atmosphere on the scene.

"The taste of this food is really difficult to solve. A few days ago, I was reluctant to go there. Although I didn't have a taste, the skills of my witch team have been tempered and I thought there would be no problem. Unexpectedly, the things I made still taste like this. It seems that Fellow Daoist Du can only apply to the council and specially transfer someone to be responsible for Fellow Daoist Du's diet. Although I can't help Fellow Daoist Du in this regard. But if Fellow Daoist Du has any other needs, just tell me! In other aspects, I should be able to help!"

Then, Sophie turned around and walked towards the door. However, when she was about to walk out of the door, Sophie seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around and looked at Du Xiaochuan.

Sophie turned her head and asked casually: "Actually, Fellow Daoist Du should understand. Fellow Daoist Du's attitude towards us witches is very different from ordinary practitioners. In fact, I am a little strange until now. Why is Fellow Daoist Du's attitude towards us witches completely different from other practitioners? You must know that ordinary practitioners have disgust and fear for us witches. I don't seem to find such emotions in Fellow Daoist Du. I really want to hear the reason why Fellow Daoist Du did this!"

Du Xiaochuan was stunned by the topic Sophie raised before leaving.

He looked at Sophie, as if Sophie wouldn't go out if he didn't answer. Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but frown and said, "This doesn't seem to require any reason!"

After a while of silence, Du Xiaochuan said again: "Although you have the blood of this elves, there is nothing wrong with this! After all, you have not done anything wrong, and I can't find a reason to hate you!"

Du Xiaochuan's attitude towards these witches is really different from orthodox practitioners. Du Xiaochuan does not have the disgust of ordinary practitioners as ordinary practitioners. The reason is that he is not orthodox practitioners from Du Xiaochuan and has not been influenced by the concepts passed down by practitioners.

In Du Xiaochuan's opinion, these witches did not miss anything. In fact, compared with ordinary practitioners, these witches contributed much more to the Joint Parliament. After all, most of the dangerous work of the Joint Parliament is completed by these witches.

However, these witches have elves of blood flowing on their bodies, and will eventually become completely elven, which makes practitioners feel particularly fear and disgusted with these witches. This view has always become deeply rooted in the world of practice and is difficult to change.

However, for Du Xiaochuan, who has just come into contact with the Joint Parliament, this deep-rooted view is simply difficult to affect him. In Du Xiaochuan's view, these witches have not done anything missed, and they will not be disgusted with them just because they have the identity of witches.

Du Xiaochuan did not realize how rare his view is in the current world of practice.

Because I did not miss anything, I could not find a reason to hate. This was a matter that was supposed to be, but it was completely unacceptable to practitioners other than Du Xiaochuan.
