CFSMS -Chapter 3 After a Night of Battle with a Courtesan, She Praised Me as Invincible

On the first day of setting up her stall, Lu Wu had only intended to test the waters, so she hadn’t prepared much in the way of ingredients. Who would have thought these customers would be so enthusiastic?

At the rate people were buying several buns at a time, there simply wouldn’t be enough.

“What do you mean there are only thirty or forty left?”

“No way! I have to eat one tonight! Why do I have to miss out?”

The customers at the back of the line immediately protested.

Heaven knew how painful it was to watch others eat while being unable to get one themselves.

Most of them were cultivators. After arguing until their faces turned red, it looked as though they were about to come to blows.

The waves of spiritual energy made Lu Wu too nervous to say a word.

Mommy, I’m scared!

“Ahem… tomorrow. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

She swore she wasn’t trying to create artificial scarcity.

She simply hadn’t expected her first day of business to be this successful.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Lou Xiaotian waved his hand. Spiritual energy burst forth and instantly suppressed the troublemakers.

“How about this? Everyone do me a favor. Those who haven’t gotten a bun yet can stay in line. From now on, one bun per person. Those who’ve already eaten can leave the queue.”

“Besides, the little boss will be back tomorrow. After today’s experience, she’ll definitely prepare more, so everyone will get a chance to try them.”

Lou Xiaotian’s name carried weight on this street.

Everyone knew he was rich, generous, and easygoing. He also had plenty of friends. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to offend him.

With his help, order was restored.

Lu Wu let out a sigh of relief and began packing orders.

“Boss, I want a Pure-Hearted Meat Bun. I want to see what’s so pure-hearted about it.”

“Tch, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The Sweet Red Bean Bun is the real masterpiece. One bite and I was reminded of my first love.”

A customer squatting nearby spoke sourly.

Rubbing his stomach, he felt a little regretful.

If he’d eaten slower earlier, maybe he could have bought another. Now all he could do was watch others eat. It was torture.

“You know, these buns are really warming. My whole body feels nice and toasty.”

Someone remarked with a sigh.

Lu Wu blinked and glanced at the system.

There was a reason the system had chosen this location for her stall. The effects of the Spicy Kidney Bun and the Pure-Hearted Meat Bun were simple:

They boosted yang energy.

Cough.

With yang energy surging, of course people would feel warm.

For these regular patrons of the pleasure houses, they were practically miracle tonics.

But Lu Wu didn’t say anything.

After all, it would be much more entertaining if they discovered the effects themselves.

The remaining buns sold out in no time.

Those who still failed to get one stared at Lu Wu resentfully.

“Boss, make sure to prepare more tomorrow! I’ll bring all my relatives to support you.”

One customer even tugged on her sleeve, refusing to let her close up shop.

Under the relentless pressure of their gazes, Lu Wu could only nod.

【Mission Progress: 123/1000】

Checking the time, it wasn’t even ten o’clock yet.

At this rate, she might exceed the mission target.

With a bumper harvest on her first day, Lu Wu happily pushed her cart home amid the customers’ reluctant farewells.

That night, Lu Wu slept exceptionally well.

She dreamed of opening food stalls all across the Qingyuan Realm and becoming the strongest cultivator through the cultivation rewards she earned from completing missions.

Just as Dream-Lu Wu stood atop the world, looking down upon everything—

She stepped into empty air.

Startled awake, she rolled around in bed for quite a while before finally getting up.

After tidying herself up, she took yesterday’s earnings and headed out on a massive shopping spree.

If she was going to do business, the ingredients had to be the best.

The system wouldn’t recognize food made with half-hearted effort, even if it sold.

The market in Little River Town was a place she’d researched beforehand—excellent quality for reasonable prices.

The main ingredient of the Pure-Hearted Meat Bun was pork leg meat from large pigs raised on spiritual fruits and vegetables. The meat from that cut was juicy and springy, perfect for buns.

As for the Kidney Bun, it used flawless kidneys from healthy pigs that had never suffered illness or injury, allowing the nourishing effects to be fully brought out.

Lu Wu had a sharp eye.

After rejecting the butcher’s attempt to sneak inferior goods into the order and bargaining fiercely under his appreciative gaze, she ultimately secured the largest amount of ingredients at the lowest price.

The red bean filling was much simpler.

The red beans of the Qingyuan Realm were each about the size of a fingernail, rich in color and plumply rounded.

After soaking them until soft, she boiled them over high heat before reducing the flame and simmering them until tender.

Then she added sugar and blended the cooked beans into a smooth paste before cooking away the excess moisture.

Thus, the red bean paste was complete.

Stored in a sealed container, it could be used whenever needed.

Preparing fillings, kneading dough, and proofing buns…

The daylight hours slipped away amid her busy work.

By the time evening approached, Lu Wu headed outside and once again met the old man’s gossip-loving gaze.

A direct hit.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

Her elderly neighbor was a warm-hearted fellow. When she’d first transmigrated here, he’d helped her a great deal.

He was a good man.

The only problem was his obsession with gossip.

There wasn’t a single piece of juicy news in Little River Town that he didn’t know.

Still, Lu Wu felt that the way he was looking at her now resembled a dog staring at a meat bun—determined to bite down and never let go.

Startled by her own comparison, she hurried away under the old man’s watchful gaze.

What she didn’t notice was that behind her, the old man held up a jade tablet and snapped a picture of her departing figure.

After tapping the tablet a few times, a light screen appeared.

This was the Realm Communicator used throughout the Qingyuan Realm.

It was essentially the Blue Star equivalent of a smartphone, complete with messaging, video functions, forums, and more.

When Lu Wu first learned of its existence, she’d seriously suspected that another transmigrator from Earth had arrived before her.

Unfortunately, when she tried to find this mysterious predecessor, she discovered that only people with spiritual energy could use the device.

At the time, she’d laughed in exasperation.

What Lu Wu didn’t know was that after she returned home the previous night, a post on Little River Town’s forum had rapidly gained popularity.

“After a Night of Battle with a Courtesan, She Praised Me as Invincible”

An eye-catching title.

People clicked in while cursing the obvious clickbait.

The first thing they saw was a picture of Lu Wu’s bun stall.

【Listen up, everyone…】

After a lengthy session of shameless self-promotion, the poster finally got to the point and described the effects he’d experienced after eating the Pure-Hearted Meat Bun.

Many people immediately expressed skepticism.

【A bun can really be that miraculous? Everyone knows those little temptresses from the Hehuan Sect drain men dry. Even all kinds of body-strengthening pills aren’t as powerful as their techniques.】

【Exactly. Sounds like another delusional guy trying to cope.】

【Yeah right. As if I’d believe that. If you’re lying, I’ll come challenge you… now give me the address.】

Most readers mocked or questioned the claims.

A few, however, voiced their support.

【I know this stall. I passed by last night and bought a bun. I was burning up when I got home. This morning my wife kept giving me these affectionate looks. Clearly she was very satisfied with my performance last night.】

【Come on, let’s verify each other. Spicy Kidney Bun.】

【Pure-Hearted Meat Bun.】

【Does my Sweet Red Bean Bun not deserve to be mentioned?】

Little River Town wasn’t a large place.

After remaining popular for a while, the thread’s popularity gradually declined.

However, once the old man uploaded his newest update, many of those who had tasted the buns quietly began making their way toward the pleasure houses.

The moment Lu Wu arrived at her usual location, she was stunned.

The street that had been perfectly intact yesterday now looked as though it had been ravaged by a hurricane.

Broken stones were scattered everywhere, and craters covered the ground.
