659 I Saw the Signs of Lily (1/2)
”Yeay, we won!”
”Hahaha, we won another match again! Hooray!”
Along with the loss of the Food Immortal, the cheers from outside the restaurant surged like waves.
Despite the unique atmosphere of the dark cuisine competition, which reduced the audience to less than half, when the remaining tens of thousands of people cheered together, their momentum was still impressive, and the festivity atmosphere was like a real substance.
Although it was only a small competition with no more than ten points, and although the victory relied more on intrigue rather than strength and ability, the outcome of the competition was more important than anything else. People didn't have to bother to think so much, they just enjoyed this moment of victory.
When the Food Immortal was defeated and left silently, the audience could not help but enthusiastically rush into the lobby of the restaurant. The first few hundred people filled the restaurant lobby in a flash, while many more were stuck in the back. Without the golden armored puppet timely intervention to maintain order, these enthusiastic audiences could overturn the restaurant.
The first few hundred audiences that managed to get in surrounded Wang Lu, Liu Li, and Aya, offering congratulations and praises. Most of which were given to Wang Lu.
”Long live Wang Lu!”
”Wang Lu, we love you the most!”
”Wang Lu, I want to give you a baby!”
Although the person who won the game was Liu Li and the person who made the crucial move was Aya, everyone knew that the real protagonist of the match was Wang Lu. Without his careful design and layout, this victory would've been impossible.
No one could compete with the Food Immortal in a match concerning food. Before Wang Lu made his move, the Food Immortal had defeated many famous masters of food in Nine Regions on the side of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals in succession. Every time, they were crushingly defeated, without any hope whatsoever.
However, with just a few simple layouts from Wang Lu, it had already led to two successive defeats of the invincible Food Immortal on the dining table.
The implication of this was far greater than the twenty points brought by the two matches. Because people then began to think, perhaps under Wang Lu's leadership, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could really turn the situation around and win the final victory.
That was what really mattered.
”Wang Lu, will we win next time?”
From the crowd around Wang Lu, a young cultivator excitedly asked.
”Of course.” Wang Lu answered positively, ”We would certainly win.”
”Then will you continue to make your move?”
Wang Lu nodded. ”Yes. These two victories are just the beginning, and the more exciting content is still in the future.”
”But, when will you personally do it? We would like to see you personally defeat those Earth Immortals!”
Wang Lu smiled. ”Very soon, no need to worry. We know that a satisfying climax is built on sufficient foreplay…”
...
It took a long time for Wang Lu to finally be able to deal with all these waves of fanatical fans.
It was impossible to meet one by one with these tens of thousands of spectators. Not to mention that, after the news of the victory had spread around, more people were still coming from the various area of the City of Immortals. To meet them one by one would take his entire month. Thus, seeing that he had already enough giving the image of amiable and approachable, Wang Lu politely refused the next meeting.
After calling the golden armored puppets to close the door of the restaurant, and after making sure that their surrounding was clear, Wang Lu took a long breath and laid on his back.
From beside him, Liu Li asked curiously, ”Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?”
However, the answer to her question was silence. Wang Lu had closed his eyes and gone to sleep. The girl was worried and tried to rock him. From behind, Aya came over, shook her head and whispered, ”Don't bother him. Let him rest for a while. In the past few days, he should be the one who was most tired.”
”Oh.” Liu Li didn't ask why. Since Sister Aya had said so, she would of course comply. It was just that…”
”Sis Aya, I'm hungry.”
”...” Aya was a bit surprised. Just now the girl had eaten so much, yet now she still felt hungry? But, very quickly she realized that most of the previous food that Liu Li ate was wiped out clean by her digestion. In fact, there was not even a gram of oil left in her stomach. No wonder she would cry hungry at this time.
Instead of absorbing nutrients, she had consumed a lot of true yuan in the process of eliminating the waste. It would be strange instead if she didn't feel hungry!
It was just that… Aya looked back and said hesitantly, ”But the chefs are already gone back, there's nothing here.”
Aya giggled and said, ”Sister Aya, aren't you also a chef?”
”Me?” Aya was even more surprised. ”Would you like to eat my food?”
”Yes!”
”But... ” Aya was a bit hesitant. If Wang Lu asked for it, she would happily cook hundreds of traditional foods of Brettonia and then force him to eat them all—even the plate.
But Liu Li was so innocent and very likable, so much that people could not bear to being cruel to her.
