CFSMS -Chapter 67 She Said She Was a Law-Abiding Citizen

Jiang Yunhe opened his mouth several times but couldn’t squeeze into the conversation.

Seeing that Qin Zhan had stopped deliberately provoking him and was instead stirring trouble among the crowd, Jiang Yunhe realized something.

He had been “isolated.”

And Qin Zhan had counterattacked him socially.

In this round… he had lost.

“Senior Brother Qin!”

Under Qin Zhan’s gaze, Jiang Yunhe’s lips moved for a moment before he finally called out the address.

“Huh? What did you say?” Qin Zhan was clearly already suppressing a grin, yet he still feigned confusion and asked loudly.

“Senior Brother Qin!” Jiang Yunhe forced a smile and called out again. At the same time, he shot Qin Zhan a warning glance, noticing the stares from the surrounding cultivators.

This time, he barely managed to win a small exchange. If there was a next time, he wouldn’t mind embarrassing Qin Zhan in public either.

Qin Zhan, knowing when to stop, grinned and shoved a bowl of ice jelly into Jiang Yunhe’s hands.

“Aiya, you’re too polite. We’re brothers, no need to be so formal.”

“Eat slowly.”

This was exactly what it meant to “take advantage once given an inch.”

But Jiang Yunhe had no time to deal with Qin Zhan anymore. He scooped up a spoonful of ice jelly and tasted it carefully.

A faint, delicate sweetness spread out—just like what the other cultivators had said. It gently softened the heart and soaked into a mellow sweetness.

For cultivators, cultivation was not only about power, but also about the heart.

Jiang Yunhe believed his Dao heart was as firm as a rock, yet in front of Boss Lu’s food, he always found himself wavering.

He relaxed completely, allowing the icy sweetness to seep into his organs and fuse with his body.

Looking inward, he noticed that the fire toxin stagnating in his meridians was being slowly dispelled by the cool energy of the ice jelly.

Just like the elbows (braised pork knuckles) that could detoxify before, Jiang Yunhe didn’t understand the principle behind it.

And this time, he chose not to investigate.

Here, Jiang Yunhe was simply a foodie.

“Delicious.”

He opened his eyes, staring at the empty bowl in a daze, still standing in line without any intention of leaving.

Who would ever complain about too little of such food?

Humans, demons—coexisting peacefully, all for a bowl of ice jelly.

Some cultivators, bored while waiting, even chatted with nearby demon beasts.

Though most of the conversations made no sense to each other at all.

What would never have been seen outside this place was being recorded bit by bit.

Discussions about Boss Lu exploded across the “One Realm Pass” platform.

Digging deeper, people discovered that this “Boss Lu” liked setting up stalls randomly, and each time the food she sold was not only delicious but also had strange special effects.

Her hometown, Xiaohé Town, also entered the cultivators’ attention.

And the “Baozi Sect” disciples, who were also based in Xiaohé Town, suddenly became very busy.

“Yes, yes, this is Boss Lu’s hometown. The buns she originally sold were on Smokewillow Street in Xiaohé Town. It’s now a local scenic spot!”

“What? You’re asking if Boss Lu’s elbows are good? Brother, if they weren’t good, would I still be answering you here?”

“What is the Baozi Sect? The Baozi Sect is a sect whose purpose is to protect Boss Lu’s personal safety!”

“What do disciples do? One word—eat!”

“If you haven’t tasted Boss Lu’s craftsmanship, you can only say you’ve wasted this life!”

The Baozi Sect disciples were wildly boosting their presence on the platform.

Just now, the Great Elder issued an order: shift their battlefield to the One Realm Pass and continue recruiting members there.

“Heaven and earth eternal, the Baozi Sect shall last forever!”

This was the sect’s slogan.

While Boss Lu shined outside, they could not hold her back.

They must do everything they could to let the whole world know about the Baozi Sect.

They didn’t compete for resources—only for food.

From now on, wherever Boss Lu went, they would follow like shadows.

Heh heh heh!

“Huh!”

Inside the secret realm, Lu Wu looked at the Baozi Sect jumping around on the One Realm Pass and rubbed her arms, quickly skipping past the topic.

Wasn’t this basically a cult? And now even new cults were this bold on the platform? Weren’t they afraid of being wiped out?

It really felt like this Baozi Sect was targeting her.

She shook her head and threw away the terrifying thought.

She was a law-abiding citizen—a proper, honest civilian. She would never get involved in any cult activity.

Unfortunately, there was no “mute” function on the One Realm Pass, so her eyes were constantly assaulted by this nonsense.

Even inside the secret realm, she couldn’t escape it.

Looking around, she did see quite a few posts about herself too.

It was just that the over-the-top praise from the diners made her too embarrassed to keep reading.

If she looked a bit closer, she would realize the core of the Baozi Sect consisted of only three words—

Boss Lu.

“Boss, another… billion bowls of ice jelly.”

A cultivator walked up to the stall and tapped the table.

“Gone. Not a single bowl left.”

Lu Wu replied quickly, her expression very sincere.

These customers were like starving beasts who hadn’t eaten in centuries, wiping out her entire stock.

Right now, all she had left were some raw ingredients for ice jelly.

Milk, coconut milk, fruits, nuts—everything was gone.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to rest at all.

“Really nothing left?”

The customer still didn’t believe her. That suspicious look made Lu Wu feel deeply hurt.

I treated my customers with sincerity, yet they treat me with suspicion.

A strong woman nearly cried!

“Really nothing! If you don’t believe me, check my storage bag!”

Lu Wu went all in, grabbing her storage bag as if to hand it over, trying to prove her innocence.

Seeing Boss Lu getting emotional, the customer quickly backed off with an awkward laugh.

“Then… I’ll come again tomorrow?”

As a newcomer who had only just met Lu Wu in the secret realm, he was very sensible and had already figured out her stall schedule.

“Fine.”

Lu Wu gritted her teeth and agreed.

【Quest Progress: 1619 / 1500】

Her mission had already been completed long ago thanks to the joint efforts of humans and demons, and she could have left anytime.

But she also understood the effects her ice jelly had on these cultivators.

She was just an ordinary person and didn’t think of herself as any kind of savior. Still, since she could help, she would stay a few more days.

However, her ingredients were gone—she needed to restock.

“Huohuo!”

In the secret realm, whenever something happened, calling Huohuo was always the right move.

“Chirp!”

After learning of Lu Wu’s request, Huohuo happily bounced a few times and flew ahead to lead the way.

With Huohuo guiding, Lu Wu was about to walk after it when a flying beast landed beside her and lowered its head.

“You want me to get on?”

Lu Wu asked cautiously. The beast nodded.

It was a Gale Eagle—known for its speed.

After carefully climbing on its back, Lu Wu sat down and gripped a feather tightly.

She was nervous.

Fortunately, after taking flight, the eagle’s back was far steadier than she expected, without even a hint of wind.

A faint spiritual energy surrounded her, as the Gale Eagle tried its best to give her the most comfortable ride possible.
