The glazed fire churned beneath the pot, and steam billowed from the boiler.
Lu Wu put the rice noodles into it, while the brother and sister and the two little beasts beside her all looked serious.
They will fire the first shot in today's Luwu street vending.
"Based on the survey over the past few days, I have mixed together the most highly rated chili peppers as ingredients for today's competition."
"To ensure fairness, both bowls will have the same amount of chili peppers."
"No magic can be used during the competition, no cheating is allowed, and no one can eat on your behalf."
"Whoever finishes eating first wins."
None of the four participants from both sides were human.
The rice noodles slid from the ladle into the bowl, and Lu Wu poured broth over them. The snail meat was thickly layered on top, and the fried dough sticks, peanuts, and pickled bamboo shoots were also indispensable.
As the main ingredient, chili peppers were spooned into the bowl by Lu Wu. Some diners who couldn't handle spicy food gasped in shock at the sight of the lethal amount.
"Is it really that brutal?"
"This is nothing, it's just the beginning."
The competition is simple: each person gets three bowls of snail rice noodles, with the spiciness of each bowl gradually increasing; this is just the spiciness of the first bowl.
Qin Zhan, the first "tool," placed the prepared snail rice noodles on the table.
Both parties took their seats.
"Chirp chirp!"
Fire's wings tapped on the table, signaling for a quick start.
"Brother, don't be nervous. It's okay if you lose. Your little sister will help you win this victory."
Dragon Ball tugged at Dragon Sho's sleeve and whispered something.
Her delicate face was filled with longing for her older brother.
"You're so kind, little sister."
Long Zhang was deeply moved: "But don't worry, your brother won't lose."
You should know that the person who ultimately wins first place will be invited to Mr. Lu's home for a private meal.
"Yes, yes, I believe you, little sister."
Wiping the medicine in his hand, Dragon Ball considered whether he should also take action against his second brother.
As expected, the second brother is not as easy to fool as the eldest brother.
But the younger sister didn't want to give the opportunity to her second brother.
She wanted to get close to Mr. Lu, who was fragrant, and ideally, sleep in the same bed with him.
Her original form was an octopus with many tentacles, and she was confident that she could serve Lu Wu well.
This victory is her first step toward Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu, wait for me!
"Eek!"
Lu Wu shivered, shook his body to dispel the chill, and then raised his hand.
"On your marks..."
"Ready... Go."
The moment the order was given, Dragon Chapter and Dragon Ball picked up their chopsticks and began to act.
Dragon Ball is petite with a small cherry-like mouth. Despite her small mouth, she can slurp noodles very quickly.
All people could see was that little mouth that was always open and never closed, and a lot of the rice noodles in the bowl disappeared.
The opponent is strong, but the two little beasts are not bad either.
The first to take action was rhubarb.
With a flick of his tongue, he rolled the snail rice noodles from the bowl into his mouth.
Dahuang doesn't even need to chew its food; it just swallows the rice noodles whole and they slide down its esophagus.
Huo Huo, on the other hand, ate with exceptional elegance.
With a peck of its little mouth, a strand of rice noodle disappears.
Among the four contestants, Huo Huo was the slowest.
"Lord Huo Huo, hurry up, hurry up!"
Seeing that Long Zhang's bowl of snail noodles was almost empty, the human diners couldn't sit still any longer and started cheering Huo Huo on.
Pairs of eyes stared intently at Huo Huo, their gazes filled with imminent anxiety.
Urged on, Huo Huo's eyes darted around, its flame-like feathers flashing through the air.
"Chirp chirp!"
Birds aren't worried, but humans are.
This is called the bird first showing weakness to the enemy, and then catching the enemy off guard.
"Cool!"
Long Zhang scooped out the last bit of side dish from his bowl and ate it, letting out a sigh.
There was still a lot of broth left, and Long Zhang didn't want to waste it.
Looking up, I saw that Big Yellow was chasing after me, but Huo Huo had only eaten half of his food.
Victory is in sight!
Long Zhang smiled smugly, picked up the large bowl, and began to gulp down the soup.
It's very fast.
"Your Highness, keep it up!"
Hearing the voices of his clansmen, Long Zhangzhi put down his bowl with a smug look. Just as he was about to raise his hand to call for the next bowl, he saw Huo Huo tilt its head and look at it, and then the little bird's beak turned into a big beak.
Chirp!
After a shout, Huo Huo kicked the bowl up with its paw. The bowl flew into the air, and just as the soup and rice noodles were about to spill, Huo Huo caught it precisely.
In the blink of an eye, a bowl of snail rice noodles was completely devoured, without spilling a single drop of broth.
"This is unfair, the bird cheated!"
Some members of the sea tribe voiced their doubts.
What happened to the rule that we couldn't use magic?
“This is not magic; it is her racial talent.”
As the referee, Lu Wu had to step forward to uphold justice, since Huo Huo's original form was much larger and more imposing than a tiny bird the size of a palm.
Huo Huo had already started her second bowl, the bright red chili peppers almost completely covering the surface of the bowl.
The spiciness level increased significantly.
Flames began to rise from Huo Huo's tail feathers.
Seriously, it's so spicy it's like it's on fire.
"So that's how it can be done."
Originally ranked third, Dragon Ball had an epiphany after seeing Huo Huo's actions.
Whoosh whoosh.
Tentacles emerged from beneath her skirt.
It's all pink and delicate, even the suction cups at the bottom are heart-shaped. As soon as these tentacles appeared, some women covered their faces and screamed how cute they were.
then……
A gaping maw has reappeared in the world.
Eight tentacles, each holding a pair of chopsticks.
In a flash, the bowl in front of Dragon Ball was empty.
The gaping maw closed.
A tentacle swept out and carried the second bowl of snail rice noodles.
