CFSMS -Chapter 217 You Are the Cotton Candy in My Heart

Chapter Yue’s baby-faced expression was filled with sincerity, showing no trace of deception at all.

Behind her, the ghost spirit glanced over and then smiled blissfully.

“Master, for the sake of obtaining your love, I die without regret.”

The voice was heartfelt and sincere.

“Good, don’t worry. In your next life, I’ll be a little gentler when I kill you.”

Chapter Yue responded, her face full of pity.

“Oh right, do you want to join?”

She asked the girl, while a dagger appeared in her hand.

Her assessing gaze landed on the girl’s chest, as if the moment the girl agreed, she would immediately stab straight into her heart so she could “join the family.”

Really—love until death?

“Uh!”

The girl shivered and quickly shook her head while stepping back.

“I thought about it, but I can’t destroy your relationship. Interfering in someone else’s love brings divine punishment.”

Love may be precious, but life is even more valuable.

To give up her life for a fleeting romance? She couldn’t do it.

In the end, her love still hadn’t transcended the boundaries of life and death.

“I wish you happiness!”

With that sentence, the girl fled in panic.

She had met her match—run, run fast.

“Waiter, here’s your bill. Please take a look.”

The waiter popped out at the right moment, smiling brightly.

Chapter Yue, who had just achieved a “great victory,” wanted to laugh—but couldn’t.

She deeply suspected those people had run away just to avoid paying.

Looking at the bill totaling 250 spirit stones, she felt a deep malice from the world and stiffly asked,

“Can I eat a free meal here?”

She, Chapter Yue—a poor cultivator—had no money.

The waiter immediately shouted,

“Boss! Someone is eating without paying!”

The shop owner roared back,

“What?! Where’s my knife?!”

After a round of verbal “negotiations” in the back kitchen, Chapter Yue ended up scrubbing dishes to repay her debt, her hands covered in foam.

She shook them, but the greasy feeling made her face even colder.

Expressionless, she stared at the group of people who now offered her spirit stones.

They only showed up after she had already sold herself into labor.

Where were they earlier?

“Ahem, sorry. That’s our fault.”

Single Han Zhi laughed awkwardly. She simply didn’t want to get involved in that chaotic six-way love mess and had run away in panic, forgetting her good sister.

“Here’s compensation. Please accept it.”

Liu Xiao Tian handed over the money very quickly.

Seeing the 2,500 spirit stones in compensation, and then looking at her own savings of less than 200, Chapter Yue found herself unable to refuse this sincerity.

She accepted the spirit stones and gave them a much better expression.

“Where is Boss Lu?”

Qin Zhan asked. He had searched everywhere but couldn’t find her.

“Did she get kidnapped by that rich woman?”

Long Zhang’s words made everyone gasp.

“After you left, Boss Lu also disappeared. I thought she went to find you.”

Chapter Yue shook her head, then looked at their confused expressions with a strange tone.

“So… we lost Boss Lu again?”

They had just started living comfortably, and now they were playing hide-and-seek again.

After the previous video exposure, foodies from the Southern Region were already gearing up to come to the Western Region to find Boss Lu.

If they came and found nothing again, the resentment would be unimaginable.

Qin Zhan refused to face reality and took out a communication device to message Lu Wu.

A moment later, he looked up with a strained smile.

“Good news: Boss Lu replied. We can contact her. Bad news: even she doesn’t know where she is.”

Then how are they supposed to find her?

He wasn’t lying.

On a lonely island somewhere in the vast ocean, Lu Wu stared at the rolling blue waves surrounding her in silence.

She had been teleported here by the system.

[Current mission: Sell 500 cotton candies within 7 days.]
[Location: Unnamed island.]
[Time limit: 01:00–05:00 (night to early morning).]

Truly unnamed.

A tiny island barely a kilometer in diameter—one glance was enough to see everything.

Putting the conditions together meant she had to wake up in the middle of the night, between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., for the next seven days to sell cotton candy on this deserted island.

Who in their right mind sells cotton candy in the middle of the night?

At least the last customers were still animals. Here, there wasn’t even a living creature besides plants.

Lu Wu looked out at the sea.

Could it be… mermaids coming ashore?

“Boss Lu, share your location and we’ll come find you.”

Facing Qin Zhan and the others’ concern, Lu Wu almost cried.

Good people!

She quickly started operating the device to send her location.

Zzzzt!

Suddenly, the communication device sparked with electricity and exploded in her hand.

It wasn’t powerful enough to injure her—but the insult was real.

“System, was that really necessary?”

So after the wilderness survival arc, is this the “sea survival arc” now? Should she read Robinson Crusoe immediately?

【Not me.】

The system’s response made Lu Wu widen her eyes.

They had enough trust for her to believe that.

If it wasn’t the system, and there was no one nearby… then what? A ghost?

No, that didn’t make sense.

She looked around again—only wind and waves.

Who would randomly target her in a place like this?

Now completely cut off from the outside world, she understood she could only rely on herself this time.

“Ha…”

She sighed and released her three little companions.

At least she wasn’t alone.

“Chirp?”

The little firebird immediately flew up, circling the island to check for danger, leaving trails of golden-red flames.

Lu Wu didn’t notice that wherever the flames passed, space briefly distorted before quickly repairing itself.

Since she was here, she might as well settle in.

After all, business could be done anywhere.

Maybe she’d even get to taste the pain of mission failure.

Time was still early, so she wandered around the island—but found nothing at all.

As expected, the “protagonist randomly finds treasure” rule did not apply to her.

Sunset faded, moon rose, stars filled the sky.

“Twinkle twinkle little star…”

She hummed softly while setting up her stall.

The off-key singing made the three little ones quietly move away.

Their owner was fine in every way—except for her singing.

“Tch…”

Lu Wu clicked her tongue. Unappreciative little creatures.

The cotton candy machine provided by the system was already prepared when the mission was issued. It had been modified so its power source wasn’t electricity or coal—but spiritual energy.

Still, she wasn’t saying thank you.

Cold night wind blew over the sea, making her shiver.

She rubbed her arms and hung up the sign.

“You are the cotton candy in my heart.”

This slogan was normal, but somehow… it felt a little off.

Like the sour smell of romance.

Plain cotton candy: 10 low-grade spirit stones each
Rainbow cotton candy: 15
“Haircut-style” cotton candy: 20

Very reasonable pricing.

After setting everything up, Lu Wu took out the ingredients for making cotton candy.
