The human side’s cheers were so loud that the sea race’s atmosphere became somewhat subdued.
“Is it really going to be like this?”
“I don’t want it…”
Seeing that the sea race was about to lose the competition, Longzhu murmured words only she could hear.
Struggle flickered in her eyes.
Moisture gathered at her lashes, making her look extremely delicate.
“Don’t blame me.”
As if she had made up her mind, Longzhu reached for her belt and began to undress.
Lu Wu: ?
What is she doing?
Seduction is one thing, but actually stripping is going a bit too far.
“Wait—”
Before Lu Wu could even stop her, Longzhu’s clothes had already slipped off.
But what appeared before everyone was not a graceful human body, but a roughly three-meter-tall, round, plump, pink-and-tender giant octopus.
“Eeee!”
Don’t look at me! I’ll get shy!
Conveying such emotions, Longzhu opened her mouth and poured a bowl of luosifen straight into it.
Her transformation attracted many gazes—even Huohuo was distracted.
And in that instant, Longzhu surged ahead of Huohuo.
Victory belonged to the pink octopus!
Her tentacles swayed as she stretched her enormous body, but she was surprised not to hear any human screams.
“So pink… pinker than my first love.”
“It’s a bit big, but kind of cute.”
“I want to touch it.”
The human side accepted Longzhu’s true form quite well.
Some mischievous children even sneaked over, grabbing one of her tentacles to touch it.
Soft. Smooth.
“Awoo!”
I bite!
The reason “bratty kids” are called bratty kids is because they can start causing trouble at any moment.
Longzhu, already shy and barely enduring the ticklish sensation from her tentacles, was suddenly bitten by a child.
She couldn’t help herself—her tentacle shot up, and the child flew into the air.
“Ahhh—”
A scream echoed through the sky.
Longzhu blinked her big eyes and looked toward the child’s parents—only to see them pushing another child forward.
“Your Highness, please send him to join his brother.”
“They must have the same childhood experience.”
“I declare that the champion of this spicy-eating competition is… Longzhang.”
Lu Wu’s voice pulled everyone’s attention away from Longzhu. Turning around, they saw Lu Wu standing beside Longzhang, raising his hand to announce the result.
“How could this be?”
Even after transforming into her true form to win, Longzhu couldn’t understand how she still lost.
Longzhang wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and stood to salute.
Taking advantage of the moment when Longzhu was being “harassed” by children, he had overtaken the others and secured victory.
“Thank you all for your support. I, Longzhang, will not disappoint your expectations. I will share Chef Lu’s private dishes so everyone can enjoy them with me.”
Those words were especially piercing.
Many people clutched their chests as if struck by arrows.
Huohuo lowered her head as well.
The bird had lost—and this loss would last a lifetime.
The calm and opportunistic Longzhang closed his eyes slightly, preparing to receive his applause.
“1… 2…”
He silently counted in his mind, waiting for the cheers.
Waiting… and waiting…
The surrounding noise faded away.
Longzhang opened his eyes in confusion—only to find the space in front of him completely empty.
???
What? How can people be like this?
I won! Why is no one applauding me?!
Not only the humans, even the sea race ignored their prince’s achievement.
Longzhang slowly lowered his raised hand.
“Queue up, queue up! Don’t rush, there’s enough for everyone!”
Beside the stall, Qin Zhan was already shouting for people to line up.
The competition was over—who cared about first or second place anymore? They just needed to hurry and buy Lu Wu’s luosifen.
One moment a champion, the next completely ignored.
Longzhang felt this championship title had a lot of water in it.
“Brother, can you give me your chance instead?”
Longzhu was still in octopus form, her tentacles wrapped around Longzhang as she spoke in a soft, pleading voice.
“Sorry, sister.”
Longzhang replied apologetically.
“Alright then, I won’t make it hard for you.”
Longzhu obediently released him. But as Longzhang walked toward the queue, a sly smile appeared on her cute octopus face.
Heh…
Poison succeeded!
Divine Doctor Jiang said the effect depends on dosage timing.
Sorry, brother.
Since I can’t have Chef Lu, you can’t either.
For my sister’s happiness, I’ll have to wrong you this time.
“What are you looking at?”
Qin Zhan bumped into Jiang Yunhe, who was wearing a satisfied, scheming smile. He felt like this guy was up to something.
“Nothing.”
Jiang Yunhe smiled gently.
There are winners and losers in the competition—but there are no real beneficiaries.
This was the counterattack of those who cannot handle spicy food.
The aroma of crab roe burgers once again drifted over the beach. On the final day of the stall, customers would not let Lu Wu go easily.
No purchase limit? They could just send proxies!
If the proxies refused to hand over the food? Then they still had fists!
Somewhere on the beach, a traitorous “middleman” was experiencing a storm of violence.
A rain of fist-sized blows fell like raindrops. After a series of rapid thuds, the beaten man—bruised and swollen—finally handed over the delicious mini burgers.
Waaah…
“Boss Lu, I want two bowls of luosifen!”
“I want two burgers!”
“You picky eaters step aside! I want the combo!”
Customers shouted one after another. From the moment sales began, Lu Wu never stopped working.
Busy—but fulfilling.
Many customers shared the live scene on a “world communication app.”
As the sun set, Lu Wu’s prepared ingredients were nearly gone.
A certain customer who had just entered the outskirts of Yuanyuan Sea City saw the real-time updates and shouted:
“Don’t—!”
The cry echoed for miles, but it never reached Lu Wu.
After finishing the last mini burger, Lu Wu waved her hand.
“It’s sold out. No need to wait anymore.”
The stall was empty except for equipment—no ingredients left.
Those monsters even scraped up the chili powder.
Crab roe burgers dipped in chili powder had already been developed by customers.
“Once upon a time, there was a great thief. Her surname was Lu. She stole people’s hearts but never took responsibility, leaving behind countless romantic debts.”
“Boss Lu, have you heard this story about a flower-stealing thief?”
The customers’ resentment began to attack Lu Wu.
While packing up, she glanced at the storyteller’s expression and decisively shook her head.
“Nope.”
“But I think that thief must have had her reasons.”
“She did nothing wrong.”
“She just wanted to give everyone a home.”
“Look, there’s a plane!”
Lu Wu suddenly pointed in a direction with surprise.
Everyone instinctively looked over—but saw only a clear blue sky, empty of anything.
When they turned back—
Lu Wu was gone.
The customers were furious.
“Boss Lu! You ate and ran! I curse you in a circle!”
Lu Wu accepted the “blessing.”
She concealed her aura and tiptoed through the crowd.
There was no way she was going to walk into the “possessive foodie captivity arc.”
