“Gulp.”


  Many representatives could not help but swallow their saliva. They looked at Dracula’s steak, and then at their insanely spicy hot pot that was wafting with a devilish scent. No matter how they looked at it, they felt like they’d made the wrong choice.

  On the other side, Sally scooped up a spoonful of fried rice with colors as vibrant as the rainbow, and put it into her mouth.

  ?Sally smiled. The light fragrance from the Spring of Life lingered and awakened her sleeping taste buds. It was refreshing and delicious. The rice had the perfect texture, and it did not feel too greasy, even for breakfast.

  After returning to the Wind Forest, she would often miss this Yangzhou fried rice. She did expect herself to be able to have it again so quickly, and even at Mamy Restaurant. That touched her.

  Elliot glanced at Sally, who was eating her fried rice silently, and then at her fried rice. He wanted to speak, but chose to keep quiet in the end.

  Just when everyone was worried about what to do with the hot pot, Vanessa had already started cooking her food happily.

  She first made herself a flavorful bowl of dipping sauce, and gave it a bit more flavor with half a scoop of hot pot soup base without the oil floating on top. After that, she put the mala spicy beef into the pot excitedly, and dipped a piece of duck intestine in the pot.

  As a regular of Mamy Restaurant’s designated hot pot area, Vanessa knew the hot pot instructions by heart. After cooking her first duck intestine strictly according to the instructions, she quickly removed it from the boiling pot, and then inserted it into the dipping sauce, and then transported it to her mouth.

  The spicy and crispy duck intestine made delicious crunching sounds in her mouth. Vanessa smiled. The perfect amount of spice was just like the rain after a long drought, awakening her taste buds…


  “Yes! It’s this spiciness! The spiciness one can only enjoy at Mamy Restaurant!!!”


  Vanessa had not found the same taste despite searching the entire Rodu for it. She could not even find anything remotely close.

  The spiciness was not as insane as the one in Mamy Restaurant’s hot pots.

  Beads of perspiration formed on her forehead. After she chewed and swallowed the crunchy duck intestine, she immediately went for the tripe.

  The tripe was taken out of the pot with a coat of red oil. It went one round into the dipping sauce first, and then into Vanessa’s mouth.

  The spicy soup rushed in her mouth first like a vanguard. Immediately after that was the crispy tripe. It was as thin as a leaf, but it was neither hard nor rubbery. The crispy texture made Vanessa dance with joy.

  “I love hot pot!!!” Vanessa could not help exclaiming. She took out the mala spicy beef from the pot, and started enjoying it.

  “Is it really like this?”


  The various representatives who witnessed Auster and Josh cry were all puzzled now that they saw Vanessa enjoying her food.

  “Is she acting in front of us?”


  The Goblins turned around, and murmured amongst themselves.

  “Doesn’t look like it. It’s usually very difficult to make something disgusting look so good.” One of them shook his head.

  “I don’t care. It might be a little spicy, but I reckon it shouldn’t be a big problem.” Louis swallowed his saliva as he poured the tripe and duck intestine quickly into the pot. After that, he controlled the tripe and duck intestine to dip in and out of the pot as he started his fast-forward hot pot mode.

  Very quickly, the duck intestine and tripe were done and suspended quietly in the air in front of Louis.

  Louis used his chopsticks to put a duck intestine into his mouth.

  “This spiciness!!!”


  Louis, who had been through the medium spicy, could not help but feel a shiver down his spine as his face flushed red when he tried the insanely spicy.

  This spiciness was not ordinary. This spiciness… was a little insane!

  Luckily, he was mentally prepared. When the spiciness exploded in his mouth, he quickly shut off all parts of his body that could have a reaction triggered by that taste.

  Therefore, when he had the insanely spicy, he was not in that sorry state Auster and Josh were in. He pulled through the initial punch of the spiciness, and started chewing on the duck intestine when his taste buds slowly regained their senses. That was when the enjoyment arrived.

  Compared to when he had the medium spicy hot pot yesterday, this piece of duck intestine felt really rewarding, and its taste was even better.

  However, after swallowing the duck intestine, Louis’s mouth was empty, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his throat.

  Without even thinking, Louis put a piece of tripe in his mouth. The joy brought about by the crispy tripe suppressed the surging flames.

  ?Louis’s eyes lit up. The tripe and duck intestine went into his mouth one after another without stopping.

  At the same time, he did not forget to add the other ingredients into the hot pot. Just when he finished his duck intestine and tripe, the sliced beef in the pot was ready, and the mala spicy beef was already cooking in the pot. Meanwhile, the quail eggs had also surfaced in the pot.

  ?Louis thought to himself. His hand and mouth could not stop moving at all as the food went in one by one.

  “Wow, this giant dragon uncle is an expert.” Vanessa looked at Louis in shock. She praised him softly, and wanted to try eating 10 pieces of duck intestine all at once too.

  The various representatives watched Louis in his mukbang[1], and all of them could no longer hold it in. It did not seem that bad, and they all felt like trying instead.

  “Hot pot… looks pretty good too,” Dracula, who was eating the steak, said softly as he watched Louis and Vanessa enjoy themselves.

  “Did you forget what happened to them?” Camilla commented calmly.

  “Er…” Dracula said thoughtfully. “It looks like the two of them were just acting.”


  “Everyone, please do not stand on ceremony. We still have important things to discuss after breakfast,” Michael said with a smile. He dipped his youtiao in the soybean milk, and bit into it.

  He was rather satisfied with this outcome. Because of the insanely spicy hot pot, the various representatives forgot about their arguments, and instead gave off the feeling that they were all in it together.

  The various representatives suddenly recalled that the owner previously mentioned that everyone only had an hour to eat. Judging from the instructions for the hot pot, one really could not waste any more time if they wanted to fill themselves up within an hour.

  The duck intestine and tripe became the top pick for most of them on their virgin experience of hot pot. The representatives picked them with their chopsticks, and dipped them in the pot before putting the food into their mouths…


  “Roar…”


  “Aaah…”


  “艹——”


  凸(艹皿艹)…
