His name is Zhang Xiu, the eldest of three brothers. Recently, he has also taken on another role: a customer of Boss Lu on Yanliu Street.
The three brothers were of average strength, and they wanted to advance further, so they came to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to look for an opportunity.
Unfortunately, the sheer terror of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons dealt them a heavy blow.
The poisonous creatures in the valley are ferocious and deadly.
This time they encountered a new type of poison, and the antidote pills they had were completely useless.
He risked his life to bring his two younger brothers out, while he himself was seriously injured.
The rampant toxins within his body told Zhang Xiu that he was about to die.
The only thing he missed before he died was Boss Lu's steamed bun.
You know, he loves his two younger brothers so much, but after encountering Boss Lu's steamed buns, he even learned to eat them all by himself.
But he never expected that he would actually encounter Boss Lu setting up a stall before he died.
Moreover, Boss Lu is selling new delicacies.
The toxins damaged his sense of smell, rendering his five senses ineffective, but the memory of eating the steamed buns brought back the lingering taste.
As a loyal fan of Boss Lu, even if I'm going to die, I have to taste that braised pork knuckle that I'll love even after I die.
He would risk his life to prove that Boss Lu's cuisine was definitely not misnamed.
Mr. Lu, wait for me!
Seeing that their older brother was really going to eat that braised pork knuckle, the two brothers had no choice but to help him over.
Having witnessed the entire process, Lu Wu finally recognized her diner.
As soon as the customer arrived, her braised pork knuckle was already packed up, and she even thoughtfully tore it into pieces for the customer to eat.
"This is free."
Lu Wu declined the spirit stones offered by the third brother.
"Quickly feed it to your brother."
Da Huang proved with his own experience that the system never engages in empty rhetoric, and this time should be no different.
While serving her own customers, Lu Wu observed the group of people from before.
That daydreamer is scratching his butt right now; he's not dead yet.
Lu Wu's unwavering gaze sent chills down the spine of the imaginative reader.
After so much time, he finally realized that he hadn't been poisoned at all; he'd just been driven by a craving.
But since things had come to this point, he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistake, and the situation remained deadlocked.
Fortunately, the diners in Luwu were very supportive.
Unable to speak, Zhang Xiu, with the help of his two younger brothers, swallowed a mouthful of soft, mushy meat skin.
Beneath the skin that crumbles at the slightest touch, the meat inside is tender and juicy, offering a fresh experience with every bite.
Zhang Xiu felt it even more acutely.
He was initially disappointed that he couldn't taste the deliciousness of the pork knuckle, which had been severely poisoned and whose taste buds had failed. But little did he know that as he ate the pork knuckle, his sense of taste, which had run away from home, returned at the speed of light.
The process of creating something from nothing meant that every bite Zhang Xiu took was a new beginning.
The rich, savory gravy filled every corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth, leaving him feeling warm and cozy inside.
He regained some strength, swatted away his two younger brothers' hands, and devoured the pork knuckle.
Even more incredibly, the color of the blood flowing from the wound on his arm changed from a foul-smelling, dark black to a lighter shade.
The color is returning to normal.
This means that the toxins in Zhang Xiu's body are disappearing, and even his dark lips are regaining their color.
This pork knuckle can detoxify!
"How is that possible?"
The second brother, Zhang Wei, exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, the three brothers tried all the antidote pills they had, but none of them worked. This ordinary-looking, well, plump pork knuckle actually worked to detoxify them.
But facts speak louder than words.
Zhang Xiu's body is recovering. Judging from the way he eats with complete absorption, you can tell that he has been saved by the King of Hell.
"Boss Lu, one more... no, ten pork knuckles."
As a very experienced guest, Zhang Xiu knew very well what kind of shock Boss Lu's food would bring to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Thinking back to the scene on Yanliu Street, Zhang Xiu wanted to try as many dishes as possible before the group of diners discovered Boss Lu's new stall.
One hundred low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone.
Lu Wu placed the fist-sized stone on the tray and, under Zhang Xiu's expectant gaze, smiled as she packed it up.
Eat slowly.
Lu Wu was very satisfied.
She glared at the daydreaming man who was still lying on the ground scratching his butt.
The daydreamer, who was secretly watching, happened to see this and blushed with embarrassment. He couldn't keep up the act any longer and simply got up.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, boss, I misunderstood you."
"It's because your meat smells so good that I started thinking too much," he explained, scratching his head.
His assumptions were based on the fact that there was a peerless poisonous plant called the Overlord Flower in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Its method of capturing prey was to emit an alluring fragrance to lure the prey into a trap.
Would you like to try some?
Lu Wu was quite welcoming of the "imagination emperor's" willingness to personally debunk the rumors, and she gave him a smile.
"Yes, give me two."
Actually, he was already exhausted when he saw the dog eating.
He's eaten a lot of meat in his life, including braised pork hocks, but he's never tasted anything this delicious.
The man who had just been saved clearly recognized the boss; he might be a regular customer. His heart had been itching with desire for him for a long time.
"Brother, would you mind taking my pulse?"
Things took an unexpected turn.
A man in blue robes who had just arrived seemed to be deep in thought after hearing what had happened. He walked up to Zhang Xiu and spoke.
