CFSMS -Chapter 118 Everyone, Boss Lu Has Refreshed!

A ghost story first thing in the morning was certainly an effective way to wake people up.

Having been disturbed by the two women, Lu Wu was now fully energized as she worked the griddle, making jianbing one after another.

Qin Zhan and Lou Xiaotian, however, were feeling rather depressed.

They had no idea how the two had managed to find their way here. Only after the women finally stopped running from exhaustion did they learn the truth—it was all thanks to Number One Shill.

“So that means later…” Qin Zhan began, turning toward Lou Xiaotian.

The moment their eyes met, both saw the exact same emotion reflected in the other’s gaze.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

Their One-Realm Communicators started ringing simultaneously.

Qin Zhan’s messages came from Jiang Yunhe and Daoist Tianfeng, while Lou Xiaotian’s came from Zhang Yue and Grandpa Li.

“Ten of each flavor of jianbing.”

The requests they received were nearly identical.

The post shared by Number One Shill had been fished out from the sea of messages by sharp-eyed foodies and then shared again.

“Everyone! Boss Lu has refreshed! Charge!”

“Already on the way. Wait for me!”

“Jianbing… hehehe… my jianbing… hehehe…”

Even the followers of the Bun Sect had received the news. While losing their minds in the chat channels, they were simultaneously sprinting at top speed.

There was no need to think about it.

This place would soon be packed to the brim.

If they wanted to eat later, they’d have to stand in line for ages. Since the crowd hadn’t arrived yet, they naturally had to stockpile as much jianbing as possible.

The two men silently moved to line up behind the Sister Duo.

Breakfast might be full, but there was still lunch and dinner.

As cultivators, they could eat without worrying about gaining weight. Surely a midnight snack was necessary to nourish the body?

These jianbing were so small they disappeared in just a few bites.

The more they thought about it, the more they realized the few portions they already had weren’t enough.

Not nearly enough.

The fragrance of wheat flour rose gently from above the griddle.

By now, daylight had fully arrived.

Sunlight spilled across the jianbing, coating them in a faint golden glow. The freshly sliced pancakes shamelessly displayed their beautifully layered interiors to the waiting customers.

The sauce flowed across the surface of the pancake, yet somehow seemed to flow directly into the hearts of the foodies.

Mumu, who received the first jianbing, lowered her head and took a deep breath.

The intertwined aromas filled her nose.

Her eyes became intoxicated with delight.

She opened her mouth, about to take a bite.

Suddenly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and stole her love.

Tiantian, who had been waiting for an opening this entire time, grinned smugly at Mumu’s life-questioning expression and opened her mouth wide.

One bite.

More than half the jianbing disappeared.

“So hot!”

“Hiss—!”

Covering her mouth with both hands, Tiantian carefully prevented even a crumb from falling.

She blew softly on the food.

Once the temperature dropped, her tongue, freshly scorched by the heat, finally began savoring the deliciousness.

The sweet sauce teased her taste buds.

After a few chews, the aroma of sesame seeds surged forward to take center stage.

The sesame wasn’t aggressive or overwhelming. It simply played the role of embellishment, dancing lightly across the palate.

Combined with a subtle richness from the oils, it completely awakened the appetite.

“So good!”

Unable to stop smiling, Tiantian no longer bothered dodging Mumu’s attacks.

Using her back to endure everything, she turned away and continued tearing into the jianbing.

It was simply too fragrant.

On that small pancake, every ingredient blended together perfectly.

Different aromas formed distinct opening, middle, and finishing notes, ensuring that each stage of eating brought a fresh discovery.

A beating in exchange for a jianbing?

Totally worth it.

After finishing the last bite, Tiantian licked away the remaining crumbs from her fingertips and smiled as brightly as a flower.

At that moment, Mumu only wanted to destroy that flower.

“The second one is ready.”

Just as she raised her hand, those words instantly interrupted her.

To prevent Tiantian from stealing food again, Mumu became extraordinarily vigilant.

She flashed to the stall at top speed, grabbed her jianbing, and immediately left a mark on it.

Mission accomplished.

Unfortunately, Mumu forgot something.

In the past, the two of them had always shared food.

Neither cared about something as trivial as saliva.

After giving Mumu an innocent smile, Tiantian obediently returned to her place in line.

She had already gotten her revenge.

From now on, they would once again be the greatest sworn sisters under heaven.

One steaming-hot jianbing after another emerged from the griddle.

Lu Wu’s movements became increasingly practiced.

With a slight movement of the spatula, she separated the pancake from the cooking surface.

Crack.

An egg was added.

After the egg had partially set, she flicked her wrist.

The entire jianbing flipped over effortlessly.

Watching those subtle displays of skill, Lou Xiaotian suddenly recalled certain dark memories.

He silently swore that he would never be overly confident in front of Boss Lu again.

After finishing Qin Zhan’s and Lou Xiaotian’s orders, Lu Wu looked up.

In the distance, a cloud of dust was rapidly approaching.

Looking closely, one could see that as the crowd drew nearer, many customers were secretly sabotaging each other.

The goal?

To arrive just a little earlier.

Arrive one step sooner, eat one step sooner.

For that precious advantage, even companions traveling together turned against one another.

A kick to make someone trip.

A tug on the hair to force someone’s head backward.

If all else failed, there was always the infamous monkey-steals-the-peach tactic.

The female customers remained completely unfazed.

The moment they noticed scheming looks from the male customers, they proactively moved closer.

Faced with such shameless confidence, the men suddenly became hesitant.

And then…

“Go to hell!”

One kick later, a female foodie sent a male foodie flying straight to the back of the crowd.

For the sake of food, the women’s acting skills had become increasingly refined.

“Boss Lu—!”

Voices rang out from afar.

There were many people.

Yet Lu Wu showed no panic whatsoever.

Instead, her eyes lit up.

Amid the swirling dust, her customers had refreshed.

The mission progress had hope after all.

“It really is Boss Lu! We weren’t tricked this time!”

The customers, who had repeatedly been toyed with by traitors from within their own ranks, swallowed back their bitter tears.

“Boss Lu, do you remember me?”

“I’ve been following you ever since you started selling buns!”

One customer who had successfully seized first place stood excitedly before the stall and even cast a spell to blow away the surrounding dust.

“Mm, I remember you.”

Looking at the familiar face, Lu Wu smiled.

“Thank you for supporting me all this way.”

To have followed her this far, they had to be a true fan.

“No need to thank us, Boss Lu. We’re the ones who should thank you for letting us eat so many delicious things.”

The customer was ecstatic.

The Cult Leader said thank you!

Oh my.

If she weren’t afraid of frightening the Cult Leader, she’d have already rushed forward asking for a commemorative photo.

The Cult Leader remembered her.

That meant the Bun Sect definitely held a special place in the Cult Leader’s heart.

The Cult Leader and her followers were truly running toward each other from both directions.

Wuwuwu…

As soon as she got back, she was going to write a development proposal and continue making the Bun Sect bigger, stronger, and more glorious.

“Boss Lu, we love you!”

“I think you love the jianbing!”

“What? Can’t I have the best of both worlds and embrace both?”

The customers chattered endlessly, expressing how much they had missed her.

Amid the countless voices, Dog Aotian stretched lazily and began supervising customer payments.

Huohuo also returned from the treetop, circling above the crowd.

With her fiery eyes, she ensured that no one dared cut in line.

The crowd was noisy yet harmonious.

Scene after scene from the past replayed itself.

For these customers, finding Lu Wu was like finding home.

Gathered together once more, they celebrated the return of delicious food.

“Selling jianbing! Delicious jianbing for sale!”

Only the amplification stone remained hanging from the treetop, continuing to broadcast its advertisement.

The village gradually awakened beneath the morning sun.

Looking at the amplification stone hidden among the branches, the villagers fell into speechless silence.

How exactly were they supposed to get that noise-making thing down?

Their heads hurt just thinking about it.
