CFSMS -Chapter 220 Humans, I’ll allow you to please the stone’s heart

“……”

The voice had a lot to say about Lu Wu’s reaction—at least six points worth—but ultimately gave up after realizing it couldn’t scare her.

“Young disciple of which sect are you? Why are you here?”

As it spoke, Lu Wu saw the jelly-like mass in front of her begin to squirm, slowly sprouting limbs.

“Duang!”

With that oddly satisfying sound effect, a small head popped out from the blob.

Soon after, a tiny red figure—no bigger than a palm—stood before Lu Wu. She wore delicate, exquisitely crafted clothes.

The little figure stood with her hands on her hips, looking very proud and spirited. Though she was small, her gaze toward Lu Wu carried a strangely elder-like authority.

Delicate, cute, soft, almost… irresistible.

Slurp.

Dahuang wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. This thing reminded him of some icy jelly dessert he had once eaten. Very familiar. Very nostalgic.

“Stay away from me!”

Seeing Dahuang’s terrifyingly eager expression, the little figure shivered and quickly jumped onto Lu Wu’s arm.

“Dahuang,” Lu Wu signaled him to behave. “Don’t scare the child.”

A little dwarf had appeared—so where was Snow White?

Hm? Why wasn’t the little figure reacting? Wasn’t she supposed to read minds?

Lu Wu’s expression was far too obvious. The little figure twitched violently, barely resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

“I don’t read minds. You said that out loud yourself.”

Oh… really?

After thinking back, Lu Wu realized she might actually have muttered it.

“Hey, who are you? You still haven’t answered my question!”

The little figure looked at Lu Wu, then at the surrounding sea island and its gathered demon beasts, her expression turning serious.

This looks like… an invasion of the Rainbow Gate.

She had come here after sensing something unusual on the island. But before she could investigate, she was drawn in by a sweet fragrance.

She had tasted many human foods before—even the Rainbow Gate’s disciples cooked fairly well.

But none of it compared to this scent.

She lost focus for a moment… and accidentally bumped into that fishing rod.

That rod carried a strange power—once she touched it, she couldn’t get away.

Thinking of this, the little figure ground her teeth in frustration.

She—one seventh fragment of the legendary divine stone—had entered the world in such a humiliating way.

A total black history.

“I’m Lu Wu. I’m here to run a stall. As for how I got here… I just went ‘whoosh’ and arrived.”

Lu Wu gestured casually, telling the truth.

The mysterious power of the system really was just that unreasonable.

The little figure stared at her, as if hearing nonsense.

She couldn’t sense any hostility from this human. After thinking for a moment, she simply sat down in Lu Wu’s palm.

“My name is Xiao Hong.”

“Then do you also have siblings named Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Purple?” Lu Wu asked curiously.

“How did you know that?!”

Xiao Hong stood up abruptly, pacing anxiously in Lu Wu’s palm.

Could this be some kind of arranged performance by the Rainbow Gate?

Thinking about the lazy disciples of the sect, Xiao Hong decided that… a bit of excitement might actually be fine.

The seven rainbow colors—she did know them.

“Ahem. Then do you know a monkey called Sun Wukong?”

If she was born from a stone too, maybe they were related.

“Sun Wukong? Don’t know him.”

Xiao Hong shook her head, swinging her legs at the edge of Lu Wu’s palm.

As she answered, her nose suddenly twitched. Since arriving on land, she had noticed that sweet fragrance growing stronger.

While talking, she kept searching for its source.

After sniffing around, she realized the strongest scent came from the human in front of her.

Then she noticed a strand of white sugar floss in Lu Wu’s hair. She leapt up and grabbed it, sniffing it carefully.

Yes—this was it.

“What is this?” she asked.

Her stomach immediately growled like thunder.

“This?” Lu Wu pointed at her stall sign. “It’s called cotton candy. Want to try it?”

Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Xiao Hong.

A customer had arrived!

Even though it was past stall hours, the system still counted sales made on-site. Performance points still applied.

【Heh.】

Such a fast face change.

“I want it,” Xiao Hong said eagerly.

Looking at the sign, she rubbed her hands together. “I’ll take the… ‘wash-cut-blow cotton candy’ one.”

“And one rainbow cotton candy too.”

She didn’t understand what “wash-cut-blow” meant, but she knew one thing: the most expensive one must be the best. And the rainbow one clearly suited her.

So smart, this little human—she knew how to tempt her.

Then she reached into her body and pulled out thirty-five spirit stones, handing them over.

“Alright!”

“Please wait a moment!”

Lu Wu treated her customers very well.

She placed Xiao Hong on a corner of the stall and immediately got to work.

Rainbow cotton candy was made by layering different colored sugar strands into a spherical shape.

The machine spun up, sugar floss floated into the air, and Lu Wu wrapped it skillfully with bamboo sticks.

Following the order of the rainbow, she added dyed sugar in stages.

Soft, fluffy threads wrapped layer by layer, forming a dreamy gradient. The moonlight above the clear night sky shimmered down, giving the candy a glowing aura.

Soon, it was done.

Still a simple sphere in shape—but inside the top of the ball, a full rainbow core could be seen.

Each layer had its own color, shimmering like crystalized sugar. When spun on the stick, it looked like a work of art.

Xiao Hong held it, staring blankly.

This… edible artwork?

The visible softness made it feel like she was holding a cloud.

She couldn’t even bring herself to bite it.

【Task progress: 2/500】

At least it was a sale.

Lu Wu grinned widely.

“The second one is coming up!”

The so-called “wash-cut-blow” style was basically giving the cotton candy a hairstyle.

Lu Wu glanced at Xiao Hong and suddenly got inspiration.

This time she used red sugar. As the floss spun, she shaped it carefully with both hands—one controlling the strands, the other sculpting the forming sphere with a bamboo stick.

Subtle force. Precise control.

At first nothing was visible—but as layers built up, a shape gradually emerged.

Push here, loosen there.

The fingers moved like an artist guided by instinct.

“It’s done.”

Lu Wu lifted the finished “wash-cut-blow” cotton candy.

Under the cold moonlight, another Xiao Hong appeared.

A perfect miniature replica of her—hands on hips, identical expression, even the proud little face brought to life with uncanny accuracy.

Xiao Hong stared in disbelief.

“…That’s me?”

She murmured, flattered and stunned.

How was she supposed to eat this?

“Glad the customer is satisfied,” Lu Wu said with a wide grin.

The order was complete, and Xiao Hong couldn’t put it down.

Standing on the stall, her tiny body looked up at Lu Wu with approval in her eyes.

Human… I’ll allow you to please the stone’s heart.
