"Then let's go to the first hot pot restaurant we pass."
Mo Xuan didn't go online to find a hot pot restaurant with good reviews, deciding to leave everything to fate. Zhu Yuan also felt that this random choice was good and fresh.
After walking on the street for a while, the two saw a hot pot restaurant. The shop's sign was hanging on the main door. Gilded characters were written on a plaque, named "Boiling Taste, Steaming Gold."
"This name looks very intimidating. Let's go with this one."
Mo Xuan nodded with satisfaction and gave this unique shop name a high evaluation. Zhu Yuan also smiled and followed Mo Xuan into the hot pot restaurant.
"I recommend our restaurant's biggest specialty, the Blazing Hot Pot. It's spicy."
The waitress of the hot pot restaurant stood by the table and enthusiastically promoted the restaurant's best-selling product to Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan had no objection to this.
"Zhu Yuan, can you handle spicy food?"
"I can."
Zhu Yuan's expression was calm. Mo Xuan knew at a glance that he had met an expert. To judge by appearances, a person with the name Zhu Yuan looked like she could handle spicy food very well.
"Then let's have the Blazing Hot Pot."
Mo Xuan said to the waitress.
"Okay. the default spiciness of our restaurant is super, super, super spicy."
The smile on the waitress's face did not change. Only after she had taken the order did she say this to Mo Xuan. This made him feel that he had been set up.
"Wait, you only tell us after we've ordered?"
"Are you scared, Mo Xuan?"
Zhu Yuan took a sip of the clear water on the table and asked with a beaming smile. Seeing her calm smile, Mo Xuan knew he couldn't be a coward.
"Scared? Are you kidding me? I'm not even scared when facing Ethereals. It's just eating spicy food. In school, everyone called me the Spicy Immortal."
Mo Xuan was sometimes this kind of person who couldn't stand being provoked. Zhu Yuan really liked to see him in this rebellious state, because he was most likely going to get wrecked. Just like in the training room, when he had made a bold statement to knock Zhu Yuan to the ground, he was lying on the ground motionless in a few minutes.
"I'm very optimistic about this rebellious look of yours."
Zhu Yuan gave a thumbs-up and said.
"I'd also like to recommend this Sweet Love Combo, dear."
The waitress pressed her advantage and said. The name of this combo contained too much, especially the heart-shaped platter on the menu. It was clearly prepared for couples.
Mo Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuan's reaction at this time and found that she did not show any resistance. An adult would understand the meaning of this combo. Her acquiescence made Mo Xuan's heart beat faster.
"Mhm, then let's order this combo."
After Mo Xuan had ordered, the waitress left. After drinking a few sips of water in silence, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Crap! I've fallen into the merchant's despicable trap! I was blinded by the gimmick. It might not be the things we love to eat."
The praising expression on Mo Xuan's face attracted Zhu Yuan's attention. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that was indeed the case. The things in the combo could not be changed. It might be composed of products that were close to their expiration date. The two rookies had been greatly deceived.
"Oh well, oh well. I'm not a picky eater. Although it's a gimmick, the meaning is greater than the taste."
Zhu Yuan waved her hand and said. Hearing her say this, Mo Xuan suddenly didn't feel so stupid. Although he had been tricked a little, he had learned Zhu Yuan's attitude from this. She did not mind eating the things in the couple's combo with Mo Xuan. It was a sure thing that she was interested in him. The Gotchard Driver was saved.
"I'll go get some drinks."
Mo Xuan was afraid that his upturned lips were too exaggerated and would be seen by Zhu Yuan, so he held back his laughter and got up to get drinks. A moment later, he came back to the opposite of Zhu Yuan with many bottles of drinks.
"Let me confirm again. You can handle spicy food very well?"
Zhu Yuan looked at the table in front of Mo Xuan, which was filled with pure milk drinks, and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression. She felt that her teammate might not be able to handle spicy food very well.
"Of course. My nickname is the Spicy King."
Mo Xuan nodded and opened the cap of the milk bottle in advance. This was to avoid having to rush to open the cap later. Such excellent preparation, Zhu Yuan could only give him a thumbs-up.
A moment later, the hot pot base and the combo were all brought to the table. Seeing the boiling red oil and chili in the pot, Mo Xuan's heart, opposite to the temperature of the pot base, was completely cold.
Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, had already started with her chopsticks. After putting a slice of lamb into the pot, it was cooked and picked up very quickly. Watching the red meat slice enter Zhu Yuan's red lips, Mo Xuan subconsciously swallowed. He felt that he was probably done for today.
Mo Xuan followed Zhu Yuan's way and ate a bite of the extra-spicy lamb slice. He only felt that someone was performing a Rider Kick on his tongue. This one kick kicked him to the point where he saw a life review. Fortunately, there was enough milk around. After drinking a few sips, it was much relieved.
"This is nothing. Hiss... it's not spicy."
Mo Xuan had milk by his side. He said to Zhu Yuan while he was eating. Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, gave him a white eye, raised her hand, and took a sip of a bottle of milk he had prepared. This made Mo Xuan a little surprised. So she wasn't as good at handling spicy food as she seemed.
"It's not spicy. It's not spicy at all. I'm going to the restroom."
After eating for a while, Mo Xuan wiped his mouth with a napkin. Looking at the lipstick left on the napkin, he fell into thought. He then stood up and ran to the restroom. Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter even reached Mo Xuan's ears.
In a stall in the restroom, Mo Xuan sat on the toilet lid and thought about how to solve his current predicament. Hopper1, which was hidden in his pocket, materialized from the card and jumped onto his head, making a thinking expression with him.
"Hopper1, how do you use alchemy again? I remember it can control the movement of objects and change their form and the like."
Mo Xuan asked Hopper1 on his head. Hopper1 nodded, then jumped down and gently touched his clothes pocket with its head. In there was the alchemy ring, which was the casting tool for alchemy.
"That's right! The alchemy ring! It would be a pity not to use it! Remove the spiciness for me."
Mo Xuan immediately put the red ring on his right index finger. In fact, alchemy was not as complicated as it seemed. The more magical the ability, the more freely it could be used. Just like an air conditioner, you only need to know how to turn it on, not how it cools. This was a convenient and good ability.
Gradually, Mo Xuan felt the spiciness that was attached to his mouth begin to recede. Although spiciness was a pain feedback given by the body, capsaicin could be separated. Once a chili lost its capsaicin, of course it would not be spicy. The price was that he spat out some saliva. Miracles and magic are not free.
Mo Xuan was resurrected on the spot with full health. Although the resurrection point being in the toilet was a bit funny, he still walked out of the restroom with his head held high. When he returned to the opposite of Zhu Yuan, he started eating again with an expression that recognized no one.
"How come your combat power soared so much after a trip to the restroom?"
Zhu Yuan asked her question. Mo Xuan seemed to have changed into a different person. Now he seemed to have really become the Spicy King. He didn't even need to drink milk.
"Don't ask. If you ask, it's not spicy."
Mo Xuan said proudly. Zhu Yuan looked at him now like a child. She didn't know what trick he had found to avoid the spiciness. In order not to lose to Mo Xuan, she also took a few more bites.
"Ahem."
Zhu Yuan suddenly covered her mouth and coughed. It seemed she was choked by the chili. Seeing her teary-eyed expression, Mo Xuan immediately stood up and came to her side. His palm gently patted her back. The alchemy ring glowed faintly, and he used the magical alchemy to remove some of the spiciness for her.
"Thank you. I feel much better."
Zhu Yuan covered her mouth and said with some embarrassment. She found that she and Mo Xuan were really quite a match. It's unknown if it was an illusion. Although she had choked very badly, after being patted by him a few times, the discomfort quickly disappeared. Of course, Zhu Yuan felt that the psychological effect was greater than the actual effect. The weight he held in her heart had long since increased.
After Zhu Yuan recovered, she took a few more bites. She strangely found that it was not so spicy after being patted by Mo Xuan. It might also be that her body had gotten used to this level of spiciness. Until she finished eating and paid the bill, she felt much more comfortable. It was just that she had sweated a little again.
"Zhu Yuan, you're not that good at handling spicy food either. Why didn't you refuse the extra-spicy pot?"
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Mo Xuan finally asked this question. He had thought Zhu Yuan was a demon king-level character. Her performance later was actually not even as good as the Four Heavenly Kings.
"I wanted to try and challenge myself. Aren't you like this?"
Zhu Yuan blinked her eyes and said to Mo Xuan with an innocent and cute expression. She seemed a little mischievous, as if she just wanted to see what Mo Xuan's reaction would be, but ended up getting herself into it too, looking dazed and cute.
"I thought you were super good at handling spicy food. I was deceived by your calm appearance, okay?"
Mo Xuan complained helplessly.
"Then I apologize. Let's go to the swimming pool in the afternoon."
Zhu Yuan once again laughed from the bottom of her heart and proactively took Mo Xuan's hand and strolled on the street. For her, there was still a lot of time today. From morning to night, Mo Xuan was all hers.
