Chapter 66: The Best Beast Tamer? Find Lu Shen in Qingyuan South State

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Best Beast Tamer? Find Lu Shen in Qingyuan South State

Lu Wu’s face showed no sign of coercion. The scattered ice powder bowls in front of the demon beasts were further proof.

The cultivators, realizing it was all a big misunderstanding, looked embarrassed.

They scratched their heads and chuckled awkwardly, especially after seeing the demon beasts’ angry and aggrieved expressions.

"A misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. Our mistake."

It was best not to fight if they could avoid it.

After all, the demon beasts still had the advantage in numbers.

"Um, so this pack of demon beasts really just came to buy Boss Lu’s ice powder?"

Lou Xiaotian was easier to approach than Qin Zhan.

Someone sidled up to him and asked in a low voice.

Even after Lou Xiaotian nodded, they still found it hard to believe.

Demon beasts that killed without batting an eye could be reasoned with. The crucial part was that they even paid for the ice powder.

If word of this got out, it would scare people to death.

’That’s it! Spread the word!’

Inspired, some people secretly recorded the scene and uploaded it to One World Communication.

"SHOCKING! A God-like Figure Effortlessly Subdues Hundreds of Demon Beasts! And She Is..."

"Who’s the Best at Beast Taming? Find Lu Shen in the Qingyuan South State!"

"Who Else Can Relate? I Made Peace with a Demon Beast Just for a Snack."

A slew of clickbait posts quickly appeared on One World Communication, and before long, one of them went viral.

Many people thought it was an exaggeration, but once they understood the full picture, they flooded the comments to express their shock.

"Is this for real? Are these demon beasts really so well-behaved?"

"Staged! This is definitely staged!"

This comment came from a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. Their Sect specialized in Beast Taming, and they had to expend tremendous effort to subdue every single demon beast they captured.

This process often came at the cost of blood.

And now someone was telling them that a bowl of some stupid ice powder was enough to make these demon beasts obey? Who the hell would believe that!

"Ooh, looks like someone’s triggered. Honestly, if it were anyone else, I might not believe it. But since it’s Boss Lu, I actually do."

This comment came from one of Lu Wu’s patrons.

Only those who had tried it knew the true power of Lu Wu’s cooking.

The taste of her food could truly make beings of different species and cultivation levels sit together like old friends.

That was a charm unique to Boss Lu.

As the post was bumped to the top, more and more people saw it, the residents of Xiaohe Town included.

When they saw Boss Lu had pulled off another great feat, they felt a swelling of shared pride.

After all, Boss Lu was one of their own who had gone out into the world, so they spared no effort in promoting her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

They hyped her up to be one of a kind in all of heaven and earth.

Of course, to the uninformed, it just looked like hype.

"They’re just trying to manufacture a god, aren’t they? Boss Lu this, Immortal Lu that. Some food stall... Heh. What a joke."

The Beast Taming Sect disciple was unconvinced and immediately started flaming in the comments.

He turned to look at the battered demon beast beside him.

The beast was on the verge of death, yet it was still snarling at him. He had been working on it for forty-nine days, but this demon beast still refused to yield.

He was already frustrated, and this post just made his anger surge.

His Dao heart was on the verge of shattering.

’Damn it,’ he thought. ’When this Secret Realm is over, I’m going to find this Boss Lu and show her what happens when you provoke the Beast Taming Sect.’

The buzz around the Fire Secret Realm surged once again, with people on One World Communication arguing up a storm.

Meanwhile, in the Secret Realm, all was calm and peaceful.

Lu Wu, who had been enjoying a nice piece of fruit, casually filled her stomach, tossed the pit aside, and rolled up her sleeves to get back to work.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, the cultivators remembered their original purpose.

Buying ice powder!

They had to buy lots of it.

Having ice powder meant having a hope of getting stronger.

A crowd of greedy eyes stared intently at Lu Wu, who had been planning to close up shop.

Lu Wu didn’t dare say her business hours were over for the day. She could only work overtime.

She grimaced.

’So much for the freedom of running my own stall. How can I be forced to work overtime?’

’Of course, the Spirit Stones are pretty great.’

For the sake of those Spirit Stones, Lu Wu’s little stall was once again bustling with activity.

Qin Zhan, meanwhile, cheekily placed a bowl of ice powder in front of Jiang Yunhe with a sly grin. "Go on, call me ’Senior Brother,’ and I’ll let you have a taste right now."

He hadn’t failed to notice Jiang Yunhe’s gaze constantly drifting toward Boss Lu’s stall.

Even the demon beasts were lining up; a person certainly couldn’t cut in.

It would be a long time before it was Jiang Yunhe’s turn.

Jiang Yunhe pulled his gaze back and looked at Qin Zhan’s bowl. His face was impassive, but he was secretly calculating the odds of successfully snatching it.

Their cultivation levels were similar, but the Holy Sword Sect focused on offense while the Divine Doctor Valley leaned toward support. His chances in a direct confrontation weren’t good.

’Can’t fight him physically,’ he thought. ’Psychological warfare is the better option.’

So, Jiang Yunhe nonchalantly averted his eyes.

"I’m not in a hurry."

Having read tedious medical texts since childhood, he was nothing if not patient.

"Oh, come on. You think I believe that?"

Just as Jiang Yunhe knew Qin Zhan, Qin Zhan also knew his friend well enough to tell he was just being stubborn.

He didn’t press the issue. Instead, he grabbed a small stool, sat down right in front of Jiang Yunhe, and started eating.

"Tsk, this watermelon is so crisp and sweet. I wonder where Boss Lu gets it. When we get back, I’ll have to buy some more for my Master."

"And this ice powder... it’s so springy! It practically dances in my mouth with every bite."

"It’s cool, refreshing, and perfectly sweet. Ah, one bite is pure bliss!"

Qin Zhan clutched his chest with a blissful groan, his enraptured expression positively smug.

He didn’t even look at Jiang Yunhe, just kept eating and narrating his review, even thoughtfully scooting his little stool to follow Jiang Yunhe whenever he moved.

His whole strategy was one of silent, unyielding companionship.

"Gotta say, Boss Lu’s skill is second to none."

The rest of the crowd, all of whom had tried the ice powder, chimed in, agreeing with Qin Zhan.

"Back in the outside world, you might hesitate at the astronomical price, but once you’ve had a taste, there’s only one word for it: Charge!"

"Go all out!"

"I like the brown sugar and Earth Core Fruit ice powder best. It’s hardcore!"

"Nonsense! The peach ice powder is obviously the best. Your Earth Core Fruit is just heresy. Get outta here."

"Hey, I take issue with that! Compared to mango ice powder, your peach and Earth Core Fruit are both just garbage."

Once the topic was raised, many people started voicing their opinions.

It was like the war between sweet and savory zongzi; everyone stuck to their guns, and no winner could be decided.

They didn’t dare get physical, so it was just a war of words.

By the end, they were practically in each other’s faces, trading insults.

You had to admit, the Green Origin Realm was full of talent—they could even curse each other out without using a single dirty word.

Some who already held grudges against each other were now using the topic of "which ice powder is best" to launch personal attacks.

The scene was explosive.

Qin Zhan, the one who had started this war, wasn’t the least bit afraid. In fact, he was fanning the flames.

He was part of the "eat-it-all" faction; he supported every flavor.

Even though these people were constantly on the verge of hurling insults, it only went to prove one thing: Lu Wu’s ice powder was truly exceptional.

Caught in the middle of it all, Jiang Yunhe’s expression grew darker and darker.

Because out of everyone there, he was the only one who hadn’t tried the ice powder, so he didn’t even have the right to an opinion.
