“Report! Ninety percent of the enemy has been wiped out. The remaining ten percent escaped, and we’re currently pursuing them.”
A new update arrived, and Qingdi nodded.
The decisive battle had ended before it had even truly begun. The process had been somewhat ridiculous, but he was very satisfied with the outcome.
Looking at the wolf demon, who was too busy eating to even lift his head, Qingdi and the others decided that this demon absolutely had to be raised properly.
A living divine weapon!
An eerie silence settled over the area. Even Lu Wu could hear the miserable screams outside, most of them belonging to demons and fiends, shrill and ghost-like.
She secretly peeked outside and happened to witness a demon being shredded apart by a formation.
Not even a complete corpse remained.
What a tragic death.
Although Grandpa Sheep’s spiritual power had been sealed, his hearing had not. Naturally, he could hear everything happening outside.
At first, he firmly believed it was all fake.
But as time passed, a growing sense of dread emerged in his heart, causing it to pound wildly.
The bloodline connection within him was informing him that the direct bloodline descendants of the sheep demon clan were disappearing.
This bloodline connection was something humans could not sever.
As one bloodline bond after another vanished, terror accumulated within Grandpa Sheep’s heart.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
How could his sheep sons and sheep grandsons be dead?!
“You must be lying to me, right?!”
He roared, hoping to receive reassurance from the humans.
Instead, he was met only with mocking gazes.
Even the little food stall owner looked at him with sympathy.
Lu Wu was thinking to herself:
What breed of sheep is this? If I ever make lamb dishes in the future, I definitely need to avoid this breed. I’m afraid eating too much of its meat would turn customers into idiots.
The cold reactions of the humans confirmed the truth that Grandpa Sheep refused to acknowledge.
He froze.
“No!”
Grandpa Sheep struggled frantically. His bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred and venomous resentment.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill all of you!”
The ropes binding him creaked under the strain.
The wolf demon, who had been too busy enjoying his meal, finally glanced over. After seeing the calm expressions of the humans, he immediately realized this had nothing to do with him and continued eating.
Watching Grandpa Sheep lose control, Lu Wu muttered:
“Did he just develop epilepsy or something?”
She didn’t bother lowering her voice.
Neither humans nor demons were spared from hearing it.
The ancestors heard it too, and the corners of their mouths twitched at the savage remark.
That mouth…
Truly poisonous.
Grandpa Sheep’s hateful gaze immediately shifted toward Lu Wu.
His eyes were splitting with rage.
Just as Lu Wu thought he was about to do something, Grandpa Sheep suddenly widened his eyes.
The blood vessels burst.
His eyeballs bulged outward.
Two streams of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Then…
His legs twitched a few times.
His head tilted to one side.
And he stopped moving.
The aura belonging to Grandpa Sheep was rapidly dissipating.
Daodi walked over with a strange expression and examined him.
“Dead.”
The old sheep had literally been angered to death.
And he had died with his eyes still open.
As he said this, Daodi looked directly at Lu Wu.
He wanted to learn that move.
“?”
Lu Wu spread her hands.
Why were they looking at her?
She hadn’t done anything.
“Ahem.”
Qingdi rubbed the corners of his mouth, which were sore from suppressing laughter, and waved for someone to dispose of the old sheep’s corpse.
“Boss Lu, on behalf of humanity, I’d like to invite you to attend our victory banquet.”
Nearly all the participating demons had been wiped out, and humanity had secured the final victory.
Naturally, a celebration banquet was in order.
And Lu Wu, who had played an indispensable role in the war, deserved to be an honored guest.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wu asked:
“Can I set up a food stall at the banquet?”
Her stall mission was only one day away from completion.
A victory banquet meant lots of people.
Lots of people meant excellent business.
Easy money.
Since it was a celebration, Lu Wu decided that on the final day, she would bring back the various dishes she had sold over the previous days.
Don’t ask why.
The answer was simple:
Fan appreciation.
“…Yes.”
Qingdi’s expression became difficult to describe.
The food Boss Lu made was delicious, but she insisted on running a stall every single day without resting.
Just how much did she love her job?
He didn’t understand it, but he supported it.
To that end, the human side even prepared a special venue for her.
It was huge.
And very considerate.
Every pot, bowl, utensil, and barbecue grill Lu Wu could possibly need was already there.
When Lu Wu arrived at the stall site and saw the mountains of ingredients piled up around her, she fell silent.
Perhaps she had boasted too early.
Were they treating her like a workhorse?
Did they want to work her to death?
“Boss Lu, when do we start?”
A customer rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Fortunately, these customers still possessed a shred of conscience.
They had prepared quite a few assistants for Lu Wu to order around.
Of course, as assistants, they were granted priority access to the food she made.
To compete for those positions, humanity had reportedly even held an internal tournament.
The ten people who remained standing at the end earned the qualification.
Among them, Qingdi, Daodi, and Yanzu crushed all challengers with overwhelming strength and secured spots.
The wolf demon, blessed by absurd luck, somehow sneaked in and grabbed one too.
Despite their lofty status, the ancestors now stood beside Lu Wu just like ordinary customers, rubbing their hands together eagerly.
The sparkling anticipation in their eyes made Lu Wu feel a chill down her spine.
Ancestors…
Where had your dignity gone?
No matter how much she regretted it, Lu Wu still upheld her principle of “customer service above all else” and began the massive project.
Everyone worked enthusiastically.
With various spells assisting them, the workload appeared manageable.
However, every now and then, angry shouting erupted from Lu Wu’s area.
That was Lu Wu roaring.
“You! Yes, you! What are you doing? I told you to cut potato fries! Why are you making shredded potatoes?!”
Pointing at Qingdi’s head, Lu Wu gritted her teeth.
At that moment, even a handsome face was useless.
Her blood pressure was rising too quickly to care about anyone’s status.
She picked up a spatula and smacked him.
“And what are you laughing at? I told you to skewer the meat. Why are you secretly eating it?”
“It’s raw! That’s raw meat!”
The wolf demon’s tail was being stepped on.
He immediately lowered his head and didn’t dare make a sound.
Daodi looked at the vegetables he had accidentally washed into mush and quietly opened his storage pouch to hide the evidence.
“Don’t scold me… don’t scold me…”
he muttered.
Then he noticed Yanzu shooting him a sinister glance.
“Boss Lu, I want to report Daodi! He’s wasting food!”
As an assistant, one had to prioritize Boss Lu’s interests.
Such wasteful behavior absolutely deserved reporting.
Yanzu lifted his chin proudly.
The smugness was practically overflowing.
“Stop washing vegetables. Wash that muscle-filled brain of yours instead.”
Lu Wu spoke expressionlessly to Daodi.
Then her gaze shifted toward Yanzu, who was still secretly laughing.
“What? Is this funny?”
“Why don’t you take a look at the beef in the pot?”
“It’s already burnt, and you’re still increasing the fire. You won’t eat fresh food, but you want burnt food instead? What, did you develop pica or something?”
This help was causing more trouble than it was worth.
The smile instantly disappeared from Yanzu’s face.
Lowering his head, he tugged at his sleeves and didn’t dare argue.
Lu Wu’s indiscriminate verbal bombardment swept across every assistant.
Faced with such devastating firepower, everyone trembled.
Stop scolding us, stop scolding us…
We know we were wrong…
After ending her barrage, Lu Wu turned her back to the group.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly.
Refreshing.
Absolutely refreshing.
The other customers who witnessed this scene all raised their thumbs.
Boss Lu…
A terrifying existence indeed!
