CFSMS -Chapter 225 Your Retribution Is Me

Yesterday, it was too far away, so Ye Chi hadn’t noticed this stall. Just moments ago, he had even wondered why someone would set up a stall here, selling such ordinary things.

But at this moment, while secretly watching Qi Jing eat cotton candy, Ye Chi’s heart itched unbearably.

His senses fully opened—he could even smell the fragrance from underground. That simple, unadorned sweetness was the most tempting of all.

His desire for food was completely awakened.

Ye Chi tried to shift his attention, but found it impossible.

“Giggle giggle… come on, customer, come eat me~”

“I smell really good, come take a sniff~”

Every time he closed his eyes, it felt like those sugar balls had turned into little demons, seducing him.

Even though they were just food, in his mind they carried irresistible charm, making his body heat up.

“Boss, another one.”

After finishing a cotton candy, Qi Jing happily paid the spirit stones and then waited eagerly on the side.

She had been wrong—she should never have doubted the craftsmanship.

One cotton candy wasn’t enough at all. Even the short waiting time felt unbearable.

Delicious. She wanted more. She needed more.

Just as she was about to eat her second one, the sweet fragrance had almost soaked Ye Chi through.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

Ye Chi directly burst up from underground and rushed forward toward the direction of desire.

Fine, he admitted it—men are just lustful by nature.

Slurp!

Little demons, here I come!

Suppressing his saliva, Ye Chi flashed in front of the stall and shouted loudly:

“Boss! I want cotton candy—give me one of every flavor!”

He appeared too suddenly. Lu Wu already knew of his presence and was prepared, but Qi Jing nearly jumped in fright.

After all, in this trial, disciples were in competition with each other.

She stared at Ye Chi, her mouth still trailing sticky sugar threads.

Step back… one step… another step…

As long as Ye Chi made any suspicious move, she would immediately flee. Normally with her cautious personality, she should have left the moment he appeared.

But she couldn’t bear to leave the cotton candy.

The sweetness had turned into invisible chains, binding her in place.

Even though she was “imprisoned,” she was willing.

Ah—let this sweetness intensify even more.

Qi Jing was cautious, but Ye Chi had no intention of attacking her. Instead, he looked urgently at Lu Wu, practically wanting to do the work himself.

The third customer had arrived. Lu Wu immediately shifted into peak working state and began fulfilling Ye Chi’s order.

The simple craft meant the food reached the customer quickly.

When the rainbow-colored cotton candy landed in Ye Chi’s hands, he stared at the seven-colored swirl in the center and hesitated.

It was too perfect—he didn’t even know where to start eating.

“Why doesn’t mine have seven colors?”

Not far away, Qi Jing looked at Ye Chi’s cotton candy and immediately became unhappy.

It looked so beautiful—it clearly suited her more.

“Pay extra,” Lu Wu pointed at the sign.

Boss Lu did business fairly—no tricks, no deception.

Ordinary single-color cotton candy contained no extra coloring. If you wanted it, you paid.

The moon tonight was still bright and pure.

Silver moonlight fell on the cotton candy, scattering faint glimmers like stars in the night sky.

Compared to Qi Jing’s resentment, Ye Chi carefully held the cotton candy like it was a precious treasure.

He leaned in and sniffed—its sweetness was overwhelming.

After a moment of hesitation, he pinched off a small piece and placed it in his mouth.

The freshly made cotton candy still carried the warmth of fire. The sugar strands touched his tongue and instantly melted.

That dissolving sweetness made Ye Chi unconsciously narrow his eyes.

Just as he had imagined—delicious.

Ye Chi wasn’t the delicate type. After truly experiencing that happiness, he simply opened his mouth and took a big bite.

Under the force, the sugar ball flattened slightly.

With such rough eating, the sticky sugar quickly clung to his lips, forming a colorful rainbow mustache.

“How crude.”

“Men really don’t know how to savor things properly.”

If it were in her hands, she would peel it layer by layer, carefully appreciating each color…

Watching the cotton candy get ruined, Qi Jing—who was eating slowly—couldn’t help but complain.

Though her tone was a little sour.

“Heh, can’t eat grapes, so say they’re sour.”

Ye Chi shot back without mercy.

Seeing Qi Jing getting irritated, he raised his brows proudly and turned to Lu Wu:

“Boss, I can still place orders, right?”

“Of course.”

Lu Wu nodded firmly while looking at the still-low task progress in the background.

“Then give me ten of each.”

Ye Chi handed over spirit stones. Seeing Da Huang lightly nod at Lu Wu after checking them, Ye Chi grinned smugly.

“Boss, during my order, everyone else has to queue, right?”

This was his true intention finally revealed.

Seeing Qi Jing’s jealous expression, it was obvious she still wanted to order more.

But customers had priority order. As long as he firmly occupied the first position, she could only stand there helplessly.

“Yes.”

That was indeed the rule.

But Lu Wu’s gaze toward Ye Chi grew a little complicated.

Kid… acting this obnoxious, you’re really asking for retribution.

“You—how can you be like this? Can you even finish that much?”

There were only two of them, but Ye Chi already had dozens of items ahead of him. Qi Jing, still holding her nearly-finished cotton candy, glared at him in anger.

Men are the worst.

So annoying. She wanted to hit him.

“I can’t finish it, I’ll store it. Besides, why do you care how I eat it?”

“Ahh, so sweet, so fragrant.”

Ye Chi deliberately played with his newly received cotton candy, his shameless expression fueling Qi Jing’s anger.

“You bastard, be careful I—”

Qi Jing’s eyes turned red in frustration, but Ye Chi didn’t notice and kept provoking her.

“Be careful what? You wanna hit me?”

“Come on then, hit me! Go on, hit me!”

If you dare hit me, I’ll run.

That was Ye Chi’s logic.

With escape techniques at his disposal, he didn’t believe Qi Jing could catch him.

They were both bottom-tier disciples anyway; neither could overpower the other.

“Bleh.”

Ye Chi stuck out his tongue. The childish gesture left Lu Wu speechless.

She glanced at Qi Jing, whose eyes were now watery, and shot Ye Chi a sympathetic look.

“You’re a bad guy… you bully me… you… sob…”

Unable to argue or fight back, Qi Jing’s eyes turned completely red. She threw away her bamboo stick and covered her face, crying loudly.

Her shoulders shook as she sobbed, and faint glimmers of moisture could be seen between her fingers.

“Huh?!”

Ye Chi was stunned.

This move completely caught him off guard.

No physical damage at all—but it hard-controlled him instantly.

Even if they fought head-on, he wouldn’t be afraid. But he never expected her to just cry like that.

Since when do girls become crybabies so easily?

Ye Chi began to question life itself.

From Lu Wu’s angle, however, she could see the faint curve of Qi Jing’s mouth—the suppressed hint of a smile.

That was mental attack.

See? Kid, your retribution has arrived.
