Xu Milu was drowning in debt. After obtaining a dimensional travel system, she embarked on an irreversible path of selling interdimensional ingredients across the universe.
She hawks pearls f...
It's no wonder Mo Xuan thought someone's outhouse had exploded, nor is it no wonder the Day Wanderer suspected a weasel spirit was causing trouble on the street. The durian from Dawang Mountain is tens of thousands of times larger than a regular durian, and its stench seems to be amplified as well.
The taste was barely tolerable when it was in the Qiankun bag, but after Xu Milu scooped out a clump of fruit pulp and put it on a plate, the white ball closest to it seemed to have been punched, and its eyes started to water profusely.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough, Madam Xu, is this really... cough cough cough, edible? Perhaps... perhaps we should find a... cough cough cough, perhaps we should find a more open place to bury it!"
Xu Milu made a hand gesture, trapping the stench escaping out the window inside the room, before holding her breath and explaining:
"This fruit tastes like this when it's ripe, just like the stinky tofu that Sister Yin fried. It smells bad, but tastes extremely delicious."
As she spoke, she scooped out a lump of golden durian flesh with a spoon. Instantly, the stench in the room intensified, and the yellow, misty substance visibly twisted and distorted as if it had come to life. Everyone present burst into tears.
— "So smelly it hurts your eyes" is definitely not an adjective.
"You, you actually dare to eat this foul-smelling, filthy stuff? Even crows that eat carrion wouldn't be able to stomach this!"
"My wife, why must you do this?"
Mo Xuan and Dai Zi were both filled with horror, seemingly unable to understand why Xu Milu would "ruin" herself like this. Chen Xiang, standing to the side, hesitated, trying to find the words to stop her from this near-self-harming behavior.
"Senior sister, why don't I try it first? If it's not poisonous, then you can taste it later—"
That fruit is smoking!
Yellow, foul-smelling smoke!
Is that really something you can eat?
Even the blue spheres (slimes) that could wriggle a while back seemed more reliable than this thing, right?
"No need. I've had it before, just a different variety. This stuff is perfect for making desserts. I'll teach Sister Yin how to make it after I've tried it. If Tuan'er hadn't reminded me today, I would have almost forgotten about it."
Despite the stares of the crowd who were looking at her like she was a warrior, Xu Milu swallowed a spoonful of durian flesh from Dawang Mountain. Before, when her family was poor, durian was a rare fruit, so she had only eaten it once or twice. Later, when she had money to buy it, there were so many other options that she couldn't quite remember what durian tasted like.
The moment the fruit entered her mouth, Xu Milu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
In stark contrast to the strong stench, an intense and mellow aroma explodes instantly. The pure creamy fragrance, accompanied by a silky smooth texture like cheese, gently lingers on the lips and teeth. The outermost layer is a fruit skin similar to milk skin, and after biting into it, there is soft and glutinous fruit flesh with an ice cream texture. If Xu Milu had to describe the feeling at this moment, she would describe it without hesitation as "hell and heaven".
If the unbearable, explosive stench is hell, then the sudden burst of milky aroma and silky texture that sweeps across your taste buds is heaven. With one bite, the plump, juicy flesh explodes between your lips and teeth, and the rich durian milky aroma surges up your throat and up to the back of your neck, leaving only the crackling sound of fireworks exploding in your mind.
If the smell can make diners turn away, then the deliciousness of the Da Wang Shan durian is absolutely worth risking your life to pick.
—It's so delicious it's explosive!
Xu Milu held a bowl full of fruit and ate with gusto, her enjoyment so great that the people around her hesitated.
Is this stuff really that delicious?
The first thing he tried was agarwood. He imitated Xu Milu's movements, scooping out a spoonful and savoring it carefully.
The moment he took a bite, his expression changed, first with doubt, then with astonishment, and then shock was practically written all over his face:
"!!!!"
Beneath the stench lies such deliciousness. The aroma of milk, unlike anything I've ever tasted before, is intensely rich and fragrant, accompanied by a faint scent of fermented alcohol. The sweetness, enough to envelop the entire body, spreads from the tip of the tongue and throughout the whole body. Even the finest honey and sugarcane juice cannot compare to this almost destructive sweetness.
With the first and the second, naturally there would be a third and a fourth. Mo Xuan and Dai Zi followed closely behind. The two monsters, one big and one small, showed expressions of shock on their faces at the same time, and then joined the group that was eating durian like crazy.
"How can it taste so good? It's smoother and richer than cream cheese, yet a bit more substantial than a crispy mountain, but it tastes completely different in the mouth. How can this be??"
"Mmm! Madam Xu, this fruit is so delicious!! Sister Tuan'er, you should try a bite too!"
"No, that's not necessary."
Bai Tuan'er took a few steps back in a panic, looking at the four people who were eating durians with gusto, her fear almost overflowing.
Is this thing really edible?
Isn't the phoenix a symbol of nobility and purity?
Isn't it true that one only drinks from sweet springs and eats only bamboo rice?
Is Madam Xu some kind of fake phoenix?

As everyone knows, the Tripitaka Master was incredibly lucky.
She is an incredibly lucky player who dominates the blind box game at the Peach Blossom Banquet, even managing to win prizes with extremely low probability.
But even he probably didn't expect that opening blind boxes could backfire...
Xu Milu examined each item in the Qiankun bag one by one, her smile gradually becoming uncontrollable. In the end, she almost buried her head in her chest, nearly bursting into laughter.
Yin Wenjiao had accumulated many prizes, including but not limited to a Thunder Fighter produced by The Wandering Earth, a home solar-powered aircraft, a Siren Pearl Fountain, a set of pure dwarf handcrafted dragon-slaying armor, ten sets of elven silk cloth, and... a whole five rooms of durian pulp from Dawang Mountain.
