My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 380: Chapter 240: Lei Huen

Naruto didn’t stay for too long, after checking his progress in cultivation, Lafra allowed him to go back and continue to enhance his magic power, then released him to return.

Lafra understood that Naruto needed some time to accept the events of the day, after all, he had experienced quite a lot.

Chen Ze also thought this was a good idea, so after preparing a few Goubuli buns for Naruto, he continued back to the kitchen to study recipes.

"What do you say we should do?" Fan Wujiu stood in the bathroom, expressionlessly looking at the Hell in front of him.

"His time of death is not today," Xie BiAn said, arms folded, calmly watching the man in front of him, then shook his head.

Even though the man’s deeds could be said to be worse than a beast’s, it wasn’t yet his time to die, and Xie BiAn couldn’t go against the natural order to take him down.

"As the saying goes, ’for every drink and peck, there’s a cause and effect.’" Fan Wujiu walked over, his soul-hooking lock securing the slowly struggling little girl.

Then, an ethereal soul was pulled out, the little girl’s face still showing a terrified expression, tears streaming down ceaselessly.

"What a hassle, a Lei Huen," Xie BiAn said, looking at the little girl who couldn’t stop the tears in her eyes and shook his head.

"Her grandparents have already descended, although they are fierce ghosts, they can still be appeased. As for Lei Huen, according to the Underworld’s procedures, we must erase her pain," Fan Wujiu frowned as well; in just a short span, the tears had formed a small puddle on the ground.

"Her soul is in great pain, nearly tearing apart," Xie BiAn walked over and touched the little girl’s head.

"Let’s ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help," Fan Wujiu said coldly, unswayed.

"Mm, that’s all we can do," Xie BiAn nodded, lacking any better solution.

Fan Wujiu, watching the man gradually calm down, walked behind him and patted his body, with a burst of cold air instantly drilling into him.

Xie BiAn was not surprised, knowing what kind of person his friend was, ’cool on the outside, warm on the inside’ was the phrase to describe him.

However, just as Fan Wujiu planned to take the little girl down to the Underworld, her soul suddenly drifted towards a place.

Fan Wujiu couldn’t hold onto her; he was forcibly dragged to that location, then both Fan Wujiu and Xie BiAn saw a wooden door, a very familiar one.

"Why?" Fan Wujiu looked at the door in front of him, puzzled.

They naturally knew this door, after all, the soul of that boy had been found here last time.

Although they had reported back to Yama and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the responses they received were that it was outside the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, and advised not to provoke the proprietor.

Therefore, Fan Wujiu and Xie BiAn had added this place to the list of those not to be trifled with, but unexpectedly, this time the Lei Huen took them here.

"Let’s go in, perhaps the means of salvation lie within," Xie BiAn did not hesitate and went straight through the door.

Familiar sound of wind chimes, then Xie BiAn saw the succubus walking over with a smile.

"Welcome to the Dream Restaurant, dear guests~"

"Thank you for having us," Xie BiAn and Fan Wujiu said as they walked in with the Lei Huen.

Betty was taken aback, what’s the deal with this little girl, and why was there a chain around her neck?

"You two..." Betty was enraged, recalling her own ordeal. Weren’t slaves shackled around their necks?

"Betty, stop it. Who are our two guests?" Chen Ze stepped out, quelling Betty’s fury, and then turned towards Black and White Impermanence.

As a Huaxia native, Chen Ze naturally understood the identities of Black and White Impermanence, so this little girl must also be a ghost. But why was the girl crying incessantly?

And Chen Ze noticed that, in just a short while, there was a puddle of water beneath the little girl.

"Shop owner, sorry to trouble you. This girl is a Lei Huen, a soul of great sorrow and lament, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation," Xie BiAn bowed slightly towards Chen Ze in greeting, then explained.

"What happened to her?" Chen Ze grew more curious. A soul of great sorrow, and it sounded as if there was no resentment.

Suddenly, an image appeared in the restaurant. It showed a man, a violent man who had gone insane due to substance abuse. He had driven away his parents and, after his little girl begged "Daddy, don’t kill me," lured his daughter into the bathroom and brutally took the life of his own flesh and blood.

Chen Ze fell silent. Suddenly, he felt somewhat resentful towards Black and White Impermanence. Every time these two came, they made Chen Ze feel extremely troubled.

"What a beast!" Betty ground her teeth in anger, her hands clenched tightly.

Chen Ze sighed. Such things...

"So, what can I do?" Chen Ze lifted his head and looked earnestly at Black and White Impermanence.

"Lei Huen came here on her own accord. We believe that the way for her to lay down her sorrow might lie with you," Xie BiAn further explained, while Fan Wujiu stood expressionless by the side.

Chen Ze was stunned. He was just a chef, not some great figure. How could he possibly ease this little girl’s sorrow?

Chen Ze looked down at the little girl in front of him. Her face was a visage of extreme sadness, tears streaming down from her little face unceasingly.

Chen Ze suddenly thought of a bun, the Four Spirits Seafood Treasure Soul Calming Bun from Liu Maoxing’s "MasterChef", reputed to have a soul-calming effect; it was said to be incredibly impressive, but Chen Ze didn’t know how to make it either.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was continuously crying, Chen Ze sighed. If Liu Maoxing were here, perhaps he could learn how to make the Four Spirits Seafood Treasure Soul Calming Bun from him.

Chen Ze reached out to pat the little girl’s head, unaware that as his hand approached, Fan Wujiu seemed about to say something but then held back.

As soon as he touched the little girl’s head, Chen Ze was stunned, a great sorrow washing over him. Intense sadness assailed his soul relentlessly.

However, it was quickly suppressed. The Magic Circle spontaneously protected Chen Ze.

"Honored One, what do you think?" Xie BiAn looked at Chen Ze respectfully.

"Um..." Chen Ze was taken aback, the title of Honored One was quite distinctive. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"I have an idea, but it might take a little while," Chen Ze said as he looked at the little girl, an idea forming in his mind.

Xie BiAn and Fan Wujiu exchanged glances, then sat down with the little girl in the chairs to wait, while Betty brought over a bucket.

"There is no need for concern, Miss Betty. The tears of a Lei Huen cannot be contained, so..." Xie BiAn started to remind Betty.

"Hm? What is it?" Betty looked at him, puzzled, having already collected the tears in the wooden bucket.

"Um... never mind, carry on," Xie BiAn said, at a loss for words.
