CFSMS -Chapter 64 Family, who understands this?

Those ferocious-looking demonic beasts, covered in blood aura, charged forward under the morning light.

With fangs bared and claws exposed, they looked utterly savage.

Gathering together, they formed a small-scale beast tide. Their oppressive aura rolled like waves, crushing all living beings in its path.

Roars and howls echoed endlessly.

Under this vast and overwhelming scene, the surging killing intent alone was enough to make one’s legs go weak. From within it, Lu Wu and the other two felt extreme danger.

Qin Zhan never expected that the demonic beasts, which had been peaceful last night, would suddenly unite today. The scene looked as if they intended to trample the trio to dust.

Outnumbered, Qin Zhan’s expression turned cold as he spoke firmly.

“Protect Boss Lu!”

“Find a chance and take her away!”

He stood in front of Lu Wu with his sword drawn, as if holding the line against the world.

There was no trace of his usual ease anymore. His fingers gripped the sword tightly, his eyes burning with full determination.

“Unless you step over my corpse, none of you will lay a finger on Boss Lu.”

His words landed heavily, each one like a hammer strike.

He, Qin Zhan—heaven’s proud son of the Sacred Sword Sect—meant every word he said.

Since he had promised to protect Boss Lu, he would stake his life here and now to fulfill it.

If anyone wanted to harm her, they would have to get past him first.

Following Qin Zhan’s declaration, Ruoxue unleashed streaks of icy sword qi, trying to halt the beast tide’s advance.

But the demonic beasts merely dodged nimbly, then collided head-on with Qin Zhan.

Just when Qin Zhan thought today would be a fight to the death, he realized something strange—the beasts weren’t targeting him at all.

They bypassed him entirely and headed straight toward the rear.

Toward where Boss Lu was.

“Not good!”

Qin Zhan, still trapped within the beast tide and unable to withdraw, shouted urgently.

“Luo Xiaotian, take Boss Lu and leave!”

He knew Luo Xiaotian carried a teleportation array. Once activated, they could be sent thousands of miles away in an instant.

It was their last resort.

“Alright.”

Seeing Qin Zhan not retreating, Luo Xiaotian knew this was not the time to hesitate. He took out a formation stone disk and activated it immediately.

Spatial fluctuations began to ripple around them.

He grabbed Lu Wu’s arm, his expression solemn. The beasts were only a hundred meters away—he didn’t dare relax.

But then they waited…and waited.

The two of them, who should have been teleported away instantly, were still standing in place.

“It’s a spatial lock… how is that possible?!”

Luo Xiaotian’s expression changed drastically.

Indeed, some demonic beasts possessed spatial abilities, but such beasts were extremely rare.

How could they just happen to encounter one here?

Could it be that heaven truly wanted them dead?

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xiaotian pulled out a long whip and dragged Lu Wu backward.

Since they couldn’t escape, he would still use his life to protect Boss Lu.

“Come on, you beasts!”

He roared, eyes bloodshot, his spiritual energy surging wildly as he prepared for a desperate fight.

But just as he braced for battle, he noticed the beast tide slow down.

The leading beast glanced at Luo Xiaotian strangely, then hopped directly in front of Lu Wu’s stall and sat down—doing nothing else.

The beasts behind it followed suit.

“ROAR!”

Family, who understands this?!

We’re just here to buy something, and this stupid human wants to fight us to the death—and even insults us!

Don’t beasts have rights too?

They had been secretly observing since yesterday and discovered that the human’s food was incredibly delicious.

They even investigated what happened to the stone people tribe.

Even those barbaric stone people were conquered by the cooking—this made them desperate to try it.

Today, they absolutely had to taste what this “ice jelly” was.

And this human stall owner is even showing species discrimination?

Sell it—must sell it to us. Otherwise we’re going to throw a tantrum!

……

This sudden shift in tone left Luo Xiaotian and Qin Zhan utterly baffled.

One in front, one behind, they stared at the beasts that had no intention of fighting, slowly realizing there was no hostility at all.

???

Wasn’t this supposed to be a life-or-death battle?

They were even ready to unleash secret sect techniques to forcibly boost their cultivation, and now the beasts had slapped them in the face.

They suddenly felt like complete clowns.

Qin Zhan looked depressed, almost wanting to rush up and shake those beasts awake.

If you’re not fighting, why charge like a beast tide?!

Do you know you nearly scared people to death?!

Get up!

Fight!

If you don’t fight, you’re not even beasts!

Naturally, the non-human beasts ignored his furious provocation.

Instead, they all turned expectant gazes toward Lu Wu.

Lu Wu looked at the beasts seemingly lining up and had an idea.

“They’re probably here to buy ice jelly.”

As she spoke, Huohuo descended from the sky and chirped in agreement.

At the very back of the beast group, the stone people tribe finally arrived late.

Their massive bodies created overwhelming pressure just by standing there.

The leader of the stone people didn’t understand why so many beasts had gathered, but still obediently lined up at the back.

A small stone child excitedly greeted Lu Wu.

The stone people tribe had stayed up all night just to arrive early and eat ice jelly first.

There were many beasts present, but fortunately, Lu Wu was already used to dealing with non-human customers and remained calm.

As usual—start cooking.

The pitch-black crowd made it clear: today’s stall would be a big operation.

She called over the still-dazed two men to help cut fruits, while she began cooking pot after pot of ice jelly.

During cooking, the mixture had almost no smell—but the beasts stared at the bubbling jelly as if it were a rare delicacy, drooling.

Even though they couldn’t communicate, Lu Wu could clearly read the urgency in their eyes.

“Almost ready, almost ready!”

She shouted, speeding up her movements.

After each batch was finished, Qin Zhan was directly tasked with using his spiritual energy to speed up cooling.

A disciple of the Sacred Sword Sect had become a “human freezer unit,” and he dared not complain.

Because if he slackened even a moment, he would immediately feel the piercing gazes of dozens of beasts urging him on.

Now calm, Qin Zhan deeply realized he couldn’t win and could only continue obediently working.

“Coming! Next batch!”

Under their coordination, bowl after bowl of ice jelly was completed.

Plop…

A spirit fruit landed on the stall—payment from a beast.

“Celestial Joy Fruit. Market price is over thirty mid-grade spirit stones. Customer, do you want change, or should we top it up?”

Luo Xiaotian, acting as the shop assistant, flashed an eight-tooth smile.

“ROAR!”

The beast roared twice, signaling “top it up.”

“Got it! Thirty-three bowls of ice jelly for you. Please enjoy, dear customer.”

One hand took payment, the other delivered goods.

Watching these beasts unable to produce spirit stones but instead pulling out various heavenly materials to buy ice jelly, Luo Xiaotian felt his heart pounding.

He felt a little envious.

After the Fire Blaze Secret Realm trip, Boss Lu’s net worth had skyrocketed.

“Next customer.”

Lu Wu didn’t have time to notice Luo Xiaotian’s sour expression and continued serving.

The ice jelly stall was booming.

The presence of beast customers nearly consumed half of Lu Wu’s stock.

Luckily, she had anticipated this and bought a large amount of ice jelly powder in advance. The remaining ingredients could be gathered on-site later.
