CFSMS -Chapter 148 The Little Girl Has a Big Mouth

Slurp!

A mouthful of rice noodles went down smoothly. Even though it wasn’t his first time eating it, the silky texture still amazed the diner.

But before he could properly savor it, the mixed spiciness suddenly erupted in his mouth. In that instant, it felt like someone had thrown a fire dragon spell straight into his mouth.

His entire body felt like it was about to ignite.

In a flash, a fiery red spread from head to toe across every visible inch of his skin.

“Hiss!”

He couldn’t help but gasp, only to hear laughter from the other diners nearby.

“What are you laughing at? If you’ve got guts, try it yourselves! If you can’t handle it, shut up—don’t sit there giggling like some weak little girls.”

He glared at the onlookers.

At the very least, he dared to participate in the challenge. That was still braver than those who didn’t even sign up.

“Fine, I’ll go then. Who’s scared?”

The provocation worked perfectly. The diners walked up to Lu Wu’s stall.

“Extra spicy?”

“Add it!”

This exchange kept repeating over and over.

Lu Wu stared at the rapidly emptying chili powder with deep thought.

She had tasted it herself while cooking, and even she found the heat a bit overwhelming. So why were these customers acting like nothing happened?

Could it be… they were just naturally gifted?

In reality, the customers in front of Lu Wu were holding on bravely, even smiling. But the moment they turned away from her, tears streamed down their faces.

So spicy.

So spicy it felt like even their ancestors were coming out to greet them.

And when Empress Zhang brought her children ashore quietly, what she saw was a group of humans crying in the wind.

The strange thing was—they were all holding smelly bowls and eating something from them. Take a bite, wipe a tear, take another bite, continue eating with a blank expression while crying silently.

It looked less like eating and more like some kind of torture… or a sinister ritual.

Empress Zhang immediately recognized what they were holding—it was the “luosifen” her younger son kept talking about.

“So that’s it. Zhang’er has been deceived.”

This scene reinforced her belief. There was no way something like this could possibly be delicious.

These detestable humans—she would definitely rescue her son from their clutches.

With that determination, she headed toward Lu Wu’s stall.

From her son’s videos, this human woman called “Boss Lu” seemed to be highly praised by other humans. She might even be the mastermind behind everything.

The three sea clan members slightly concealed their appearances, looking almost human.

The beach was crowded, so no one paid them much attention.

At that moment, Lu Wu was making crab yolk burgers.

Soft buns were slowly baking at the side. Inside the thick meat patty, beef and crab roe were mixed in just the right ratio, pressing and fusing together without falling apart.

With a light press of the spatula, oil sizzled out from the patty.

The rich aroma spread instantly, and Empress Zhang, who had just arrived at the stall, forgot for a moment what she was about to say.

The sea was full of seafood, much of which humans had never tasted before.

But the sea clan’s way of preparing food was extremely primitive.

Most of the time, they simply ate things raw.

They were used to it, so they never felt there was anything wrong.

They didn’t even have concepts like “color, aroma, and taste” as standards of food evaluation.

But even without ever experiencing real cuisine, the moment they smelled this fragrance—something that would never exist in the deep sea—their bodies reacted instinctively.

Gurgle…

Their stomachs roared.

Empress Zhang’s face immediately turned red as she clutched her stomach in frustration.

The sound had been quite loud, but Lu Wu didn’t react at all—she was already used to it.

Instead, she sniffed slightly and sensed something unusual from the three of them.

A salty, fishy scent from the ocean.

These three were sea clan.

She glanced at the “neck coverings” around their heads and the mismatched scarves around their necks, silently questioning their fashion sense.

Green hats with red scarves.

Classic red and green combination indeed.

“Hello, what would you like to order?”

Lu Wu asked as usual.

What was there to be nervous about? She had already served humans, ghosts, demons, beasts, and sea clans—her courage was well trained by now.

“I’m not here to—”

Empress Zhang was about to say she wasn’t here to buy food, when she suddenly saw her eldest son poking his head out from the side, sniffing hard with an intoxicated expression.

“I’ll take two.”

Zhen Long rubbed his stomach, obeying the call of his body.

Sea clans were simple—when hungry, they ate; after eating, they slept; after sleeping, they ate again.

In the ocean, food was abundant, so they never worried about scarcity.

Even after coming to land, this instinct hadn’t disappeared. His eyes never left the crab yolk burger.

“Alright,” Lu Wu nodded.

For single-item orders, the limit was two per person.

“I want two as well.”

The sea clan princess, Long Zhu, stepped shyly behind her brother, revealing only a pair of large, round eyes.

She was a very beautiful little girl, looking at Lu Wu with curiosity and innocence.

“No problem.”

With customers arriving, Lu Wu handed the burger she was making to another waiting diner and began preparing theirs.

After being cooked, the crab roe’s richness fully released its aroma—something raw seafood could never achieve.

The beef’s savory flavor and crab’s freshness complemented each other perfectly.

A fragrance that hooked the senses with ease.

Melted cheese slowly oozed under the heat, its milky aroma lingering.

Fresh lettuce nestled inside the toasted bun, while tomato juice and sauce added a bright, juicy tang that made mouths water just by looking at it.

The two who had originally come with hostility gradually found themselves captivated. They stood obediently at the side, waiting for their burgers.

Soon, the crab yolk burgers were assembled and handed to them.

“Eat slowly, be careful—it’s hot.”

This had almost become Lu Wu’s habitual reminder.

But for Long Zhu, it was the first time she had ever received such gentle concern from a human, and she immediately felt a sense of closeness.

“Big sister, how do I eat this?”

She asked in a soft, sweet voice.

The sound alone could melt anyone’s heart.

Lu Wu, suddenly feeling like a doting mother, gestured for her to hold the burger with both hands.

Lu Wu never skimped on ingredients.

A burger almost half the size of her face was lifted up.

“Right, like that. Just take a big bite. Try to get the bun, the meat patty, and everything inside in one go.”

She gave her instructions.

Long Zhu’s eyes sparkled as she nodded repeatedly, imitating Lu Wu and taking a bite.

Unfortunately, her mouth was a bit small, making it hard to fit everything in one bite. She kept adjusting her angle, getting sauce all over her face.

“Oh no…”

She complained softly.

Seeing her brother already taking big bites beside her, Long Zhu couldn’t resist anymore. Her mouth suddenly expanded, and in one gulp she swallowed the entire burger.

Lu Wu’s hand trembled while handling the next order.

She must be seeing things… right?

How could such a cute little girl suddenly have a blood-curdling, gaping mouth?

Oh heavens—she must be overworked and hallucinating.
