Chapter 431 He Must Be… Feeling Emotional

“Insanely spicy? Sure, please wait for a moment.” A slightly amused smile appeared on Mag’s face. Hehe, you’re the one who placed the order, so don’t blame me. I’m going to make you cry today!

“There’s fish? I love fish! I’ll also get a large insanely spicy grilled fish. This image is so realistic; did you use magic to transform your dishes into images?” Havid was amazed by the quality of the spicy grilled fish image on the menu.

“I only asked an amateur artist to draw them for me,” Mag replied with a smile.

“Please explain to me what you mean by an amateur artist!! The system’s images are all at least at a professional level!!” The system’s indignant voice sounded, only to be ignored by Mag.

“I’ll get a Yangzhou fried rice!”

“I like chicken, so I’ll get a braised chicken and rice.”

Everyone placed their orders, and Mag went back into the kitchen, while Yabemiya was responsible for bringing out all of the dishes.

So he wants insanely spicy, eh? I’ll give him twice that! Mag took a glance at Fox before chopping up the chili peppers on his chopping board into a fine powder.

No one was interested in continuing their discussions any longer. All of them were staring at the kitchen, waiting for more dishes to arrive.

“Uncle Gold Wire, you have to pay for that chair,” Amy reminded.

Jinx looked at the chunks of wood that remained from what was his chair a moment ago, and he scratched his head sheepishly as he said, “The roujiamo was too delicious, so I couldn’t control myself. I’ll be sure to pay for this chair.”

“Here are the 10 roujiamos you ordered. Would you like a new chair?” Yabemiya set down a platter of roujiamos in front of Jinx. She appeared to be a little nervous.

“No need, I’ll just stand while I eat. Otherwise, I’ll just keep breaking chairs.” Jinx shook his head with a smile. He then looked at Yabemiya with a curious expression, and asked, “What dragon bloodline do you have, little girl? Why are you working here as a waitress? We dragons are proud creatures; no matter how good the food is here, we shouldn’t stoop to serving others like this.”

“I…” Yabemiya opened her mouth to reply before lowering her head with a dejected expression as she said, “I don’t know what type of dragon bloodline I have, either.”

“Oh, is that so?” Jinx was a little perplexed as he looked at Yabemiya.

“However, I like my current job. This job gives me pride, and it has never made me feel inferior to anyone. I enjoy my current work and life.” Yabemiya raised her head again, and looked into Jinx’s eyes with an earnest expression.

Jinx looked at the confidence and pride in Yabemiya’s eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He had seen many half-dragons on the dragon island, and the majority of them had rather low self-esteem. However, he could sense that the pride in this little girl’s heart was very genuine.

“I hope you never lose this pride and confidence. I wish you good luck.” Jinx smiled as he bit down into his roujiamo, and he was immediately immersed in its delectable flavor.

“I will,” Yabemiya replied in a light voice. Her words were a reply both to Jinx as well as to herself.

“Here’s your insanely spicy grilled fish.” Yabemiya soon went back into the kitchen, and brought out a large grilled fish for Fox.

The massive grilled fish was stewing in red juices, within which were countless chili peppers. Just the aroma of the dish made Fox’s throat go dry.

This aroma! How can it possibly be so spicy?! Just smelling it is making me tear up. He lived in Chaos City year-round, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with human food. As such, it was not his first time eating spicy food. In fact, he enjoyed spicy food, which was what prompted him to choose the insanely spicy level in the first place.

However, it appeared that this spiciness was different from anything he had ever seen before. Despite its formidably spicy aroma, the smell of the fish was extremely alluring, and Fox picked up his chopsticks almost involuntarily.

A Frost Dragon eating an insanely spicy grilled fish; this place is going to look like a sauna soon. Michael shook his head with a smile. Mag hadn’t given any warning to Fox about just how spicy the insanely spicy grilled fish would be, so it appeared that he was exacting his revenge on Fox.

“This fish looks really extraordinary. The scorching aura emanating from it is making my blood boil.” Havid looked at the spicy grilled fish that Sally had just presented to him, and his skin began to turn red as if it would burst into flames at any moment.

Wait, I have to move the chair away before I start eating. Otherwise, I’ll have to pay for burning the furniture again. Havid picked up his chopsticks, but he quickly remembered to move his chair a safe distance away before digging in. He had learned his lesson from before, and was not taking any chances.

In reality, he was one of the more poverty-stricken giant dragons; as such, he valued money a lot more. Even though the dragon race covered the expenses for this trip, there was no guarantee that they would pay for any damaged furniture.

The two of them took their first bites of fish almost in unison.

“Argh!”

“Roar!”

A howl of anguish and a roar of excitement erupted at the same time.

Fox pressed his hands tightly onto the table as he panted heavily. His face was as red as a monkey’s bum, and steam rose from his body amid a crackling sound reminiscent of the sound that dry ice made when coming into contact with water. Soon, his entire body was enshrouded in water vapor, presenting quite a startling spectacle.

At the same time, Havid’s entire body was alight with roaring flames, and his entire body had been set on fire, but the chopsticks in his hand remained unscathed.

“How could there be such delicious fish in this world? It’s absolutely amazing! I’ve never had anything as delicious as this in my entire life!” Havid stared at the grilled fish with a fervent expression before placing another morsel of fish meat into his mouth. As he did so, the flames around his body burned even brighter.

“How… How could there be such spicy chili peppers in this world…” Fox’s entire body was drenched in cold sweat, but his chopsticks were involuntarily inching toward the grilled fish again.

No! Stop! I’ll embarrass myself if I keep eating! But… my hand won’t listen to me! And… am I crying? Are these tears? Fox’s eyes widened as he stared at the fish in front of him, and his tears flowed relentlessly. At the same time, he felt as if something was quickly escaping from his body…

“Father, why is he crying?” Amy was rather perplexed as she turned to Mag.

“He must be… feeling emotional,” Mag replied with a smile.
