CFSMS -Chapter 135 Uncle Xia’s Invitation

【Mission Progress: 2000/2000】
【Congratulations, Host! Mission completed. Cultivation has advanced to Foundation Establishment Mid Stage. You have obtained one lottery draw opportunity.】

On the fifth day of Lu Wu’s stall, the mission was finally completed.

Great news!

With the mission requirements gone, Lu Wu felt completely relaxed and even let herself run wild. She started putting out all sorts of pancake flavors without restraint.

In the end, the “Family Feast” version was raised to 100 spirit stones per serving.

Even so, customers still came in an endless stream.

“Too cheap,” Mu Mu commented.

Sweetie agreed quite seriously.

Both of them were quite wealthy and didn’t care about such small money at all. In fact, they wished Lu Wu’s pancakes were more expensive—then there wouldn’t be so many people competing for them.

Once they realized that Lu Wu’s stall would soon end, many customers, after buying their pancakes, were reluctant to leave.

This time, they no longer used sweet words or beauty tricks to beg Boss Lu to stay a few more days.

Because they understood Boss Lu was “as hard as stone.”

So they changed tactics.

They didn’t speak at all—just stood nearby eating pancakes while launching silent attacks with their eyes.

Everything was unspoken.

But since nothing was said, there were no requests.

So Lu Wu simply ignored them.

Because of some serious matters, Cang He Guang, who had a legitimate reason to stay in Yuanhai City, came again.

Even as the city lord, his face could only buy five pancakes.

Fortunately, the “tribute” for the Flood Dragon had already been prepared by Lu Wu yesterday and handed over to him.

Skimming a little off the top… well, he had really done it.

Looking at the pancakes stored in his storage space, Cang He Guang still wasn’t satisfied. Ever since he met Boss Lu, he had developed hoarding tendencies.

And he wasn’t the only one.

Many customers, after selling out, would return to the end of the line and queue again, attempting a “second round.”

But they all ended in disappointment.

The customers were heartbroken while eating but happy while waiting. Lu Wu’s pancake business was extremely booming.

Before they knew it, the seventh day arrived.

That day, just as Lu Wu arrived at the stall, she saw the blind old man waiting there.

Speaking of Uncle Xia, he was actually Lu Wu’s biggest failure since she started selling pancakes.

Someone had actually rejected her food.

Lu Wu was considering whether to try again when Uncle Xia spoke first.

“I’m here to buy pancakes.”

Spirit stones landed on the stall. Da Huang wagged its tail, while Huo Huo tilted its little head in confusion.

Neither of the little ones understood why this fierce old man had suddenly changed his attitude.

In truth, it was because Cheng Yang had given up.

Ever since he brought pancakes for Uncle Xia that day, every day during Lu Wu’s stall hours, Uncle Xia would appear in front of Cheng Yang.

The meaning was obvious.

Cheng Yang could only give up his own share of pancakes to him.

Today was the last day of the stall, and also the last day of the villagers of Xiao Hai Village in this world. Cheng Yang decided to resist and refused.

Rejected by a junior, Uncle Xia thought about the delicious pancakes and finally swallowed his pride and came to buy them himself.

This was a victory belonging to Lu Wu.

After Lu Wu handed over the pancake, she noticed the old man still hadn’t left.

“Boss Lu, after you finish selling out, can you come to the village?” Uncle Xia asked.

His voice carried an indescribable complexity that Lu Wu couldn’t fully understand.

Now, everyone in the village knew their situation.

Ghost lives were nearing their end.

But they had no regrets.

After eating pancakes for several days, they were already able to calmly talk about death.

As their benefactor, they hoped Lu Wu could come and see them off in the end.

“Alright,” Lu Wu replied after glancing at the villagers squeezed into the crowd.

She had heard bits and pieces of rumors, and combined with some hints from Zhang Yue, she felt sympathy for the villagers of Xiao Hai Village.

She was willing to offer a small helping hand.

“Boss Lu, can I still see you tomorrow?”

“Boss Lu, I can’t bear to part with you. Can you stay for me?”

“Boss Lu…”

Alright—this was the usual final-day performance again.

Listening to the waves of heartfelt cries, Lu Wu felt like her ears were getting calluses.

The key was that some of them were just here to join the fun and cause trouble.

Only a dozen or so portions of batter were left. The remaining customers once again witnessed Boss Lu’s cold-heartedness.

“Impossible. Absolutely impossible!”

With a firm refusal, Lu Wu continued making pancakes.

Golden pancakes had become the trend of Yuanhai City recently.

Some locals didn’t even know about Lu Wu herself; the bigger sensation was the Tianjiao Grand Competition.

But no one expected that the most outstanding geniuses in the competition were all Boss Lu’s customers.

This caused Lu Wu’s popularity to skyrocket.

People came from all directions, going from doubt, to acceptance, to admiration—her customer base exploded.

Later on, when people met at the Tianjiao Grand Competition, the first question was whether they had managed to eat Boss Lu’s pancakes today.

Borrowing the wind of the competition, Lu Wu became famous throughout the entire Southern Region.

“Wu Yan, what are you doing here?”

At the stall, only the last few customers remained, all under intense attention.

A female cultivator was making her request, which Lu Wu was noting down and preparing.

Then someone suddenly asked that question.

Wu Yan?

Lu Wu rummaged through her memory and remembered.

She was a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, someone who had once asked Jiang Yunhe to help treat Sun Ke, who had been burned into charcoal by Huo Huo’s flames.

The treatment failed—and things got worse.

Sun Ke ended up partially paralyzed and was abandoned by the sect, still retaining his disciple status but receiving almost no resources.

Moreover, after repeated failures in the Tianjiao Grand Competition, the Beast Taming Sect disciples had begun to keep a low profile.

One last place might be bad luck. Repeated last places just meant they were too weak.

Now that the Beast Taming Sect was firmly at the bottom among major sects, Wu Yan’s appearance here was quite surprising.

“I can’t come buy pancakes?” Wu Yan snapped at the person.

In truth, she didn’t even remember who the other person was. Beast Taming Sect disciples offended too many people.

“Of course you can,” the customer replied casually.

After all, they hadn’t even finished their pancakes—who had time to argue?

Seeing that no one pursued the matter further, Wu Yan didn’t relax. Instead, she nervously glanced at Lu Wu.

She was afraid Lu Wu might recognize her and refuse to sell her pancakes.

Lately, her life had been difficult.

It was too hard to cling to senior sisters’ thighs. If she wanted their favor, she had to work even harder.

She had just heard that her senior sisters liked the pancakes here, so she came.

Compared to her future, losing face meant nothing.

Fortunately, in the end, Lu Wu didn’t kick her out.

When the pancakes were handed to her, Wu Yan’s saliva couldn’t stop secreting.

“Four servings for my senior sisters, one for me.”

That was her original plan.

But once she actually started eating, she teared up.

What kind of divine pancake was this? It was insanely delicious!

“Then… I’ll leave three servings for my senior sisters.”

Three servings should be enough to win their hearts.

Wu Yan continued eating frantically.

But as she ate and looked at the last remaining pancake, she suddenly became awkward.

Two senior sisters sharing one pancake would be difficult… maybe she should just… not share at all.

Successfully convincing herself, in the end, all the pancakes went into Wu Yan’s stomach.
