The Empress's Astonishing Appetite

"The best, most delicious, hot pot dipping sauces..."

Long Yue opened her mobile phone and typed the words, letter by letter, into the search bar.

Apart from live streaming, most of her free time was spent catching up on dramas and anime, and learning various things.

Her typing speed was now many times faster than before, and she had also learned to use browsers and various video platforms to search.

Looking at the search results, she found it difficult to choose.

There were simply too many types of dipping sauces to choose from, and each blogger's recommended combinations were different.

"Since I don't know what to eat, why not try them all?"

Seeing Long Yue struggling with indecision, Lin Fan walked over, took the empty bowl from her hand, and helped her add various seasonings.

"This is sesame paste dipping sauce, my favorite hot pot dipping sauce. It's delicious with meat."

With that, he handed her the prepared sesame paste dipping sauce. Then, he took a new empty bowl from the side, first scooped in some sesame oil, and then added some minced garlic and chopped scallions.

"This is an oil-based dipping sauce. It's also good with meat and can help with spiciness."

As he spoke, he handed another bowl of hot pot dipping sauce to Long Yue.

Just as Long Yue was about to speak, a third bowl of dipping sauce was placed in her hand.

"This is a dry dipping sauce, with chili, cumin, and white sesame seeds. It's very suitable for grilled meat."

"Oh... thank you..."

Long Yue carefully returned to her seat, holding the three bowls of dipping sauce.

While she was preparing the dipping sauces, the grill had been preheated, and the hot pot had been brought to the table.

Zhou Yan had placed some meat on the grill beforehand and poured plates of thinly sliced beef into the hot pot. The grill was now making sizzling sounds, and the aroma of grilled meat had already spread.

"You guys are here at the right time. You can eat in a little while."

"Oh, oh~!"

Long Yue sat down, looking at the grilled meat on the stove with delight. Smelling the aroma of the grilled meat, she almost couldn't stop her mouth from watering.

In the past, when her cultivation was still intact, she didn't need to eat and had never experienced hunger.

Ever since she almost starved to death and ate a bowl of instant noodles last time, she gradually discovered how delicious food was!

She used to look down on all sorts of delicacies, and thinking about it now felt like such a waste.

Having been frugal with her expenses during this time, she didn't know how long it had been since she had seen so much meat!

"Here, you can eat now."

Looking at Long Yue's expectant gaze, Lin Fan picked up a piece of meat from the hot pot and placed it in her bowl.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Long Yue picked up the cooked beef, dipped it in the sesame paste, and with great anticipation, took a bite.

As the aroma of the meat and the sweet fragrance of the sesame paste bloomed on her taste buds, her face instantly lit up with a blissful expression, as if thousands of brilliant flowers were blooming on her face.

"Mmm! So delicious~!!"

With this bite of meat, she instantly felt alive again.

Just as the Demon Supreme had said, the meat dipped in this sesame paste was truly too delicious!

She hadn't even heard of this sesame paste on the Immortal-Demon Continent. How could the mortals of this world invent such a delicious dipping sauce? It was truly sinful!

"Don't rush, eat slowly. You have two hours for the buffet, which is enough for you to eat."

Lin Fan got up, picked up a colander, put beef in it, and submerged it in the hot pot for a few seconds. Then, he scooped them out and distributed them one by one into the bowls of Zhou Yan and Long Yue.

"Thanks."

Zhou Yan casually thanked him, busy flipping the grill in front of him.

As for the Empress? She was busy burying her head in eating slice after slice of the cooked meat.

"Mmm, this oil-based dipping sauce tastes good too!"

"Don't talk with your mouth full."

"This dry dipping sauce is also very fragrant when chewed!"

"Damn it! How can mere mortals invent so many delicious ways of eating!"

Before long, amidst Long Yue's constant murmurs, all the food she had taken was completely consumed.

When she swallowed the last piece of meat and was about to dip her chopsticks into the hot pot again, she realized there was no more meat in the pot.

"Huh? Why is it gone?"

"Maybe we didn't take enough..."

"Really, then I'll go get some more!"

Long Yue frowned slightly, immediately got up, and ran towards the meat section, stuffing plates of meat into her arms.

She had spent over a thousand yuan, and today, she was determined to eat her money's worth!

In a moment, Long Yue returned to her seat, carrying dozens of plates filled with various kinds of meat.

Bacon, fish, shrimp, steak, lamb chops, beef and lamb rolls – she had taken almost everything.

While waiting for the hot pot and grill to cook the meat, she specifically went to the deli section and grabbed over a dozen plates of fried meat dishes. She enjoyed the fried food while waiting for the hot pot and barbecue, claiming, "I'll just eat a little first to tide myself over."

Lin Fan and Zhou Yan were each responsible for the hot pot and the grill, and for a moment, they couldn't keep up with her eating speed…

In the blink of an eye, the empty plates on the table were stacked as high as a wall.

Seeing this, everyone around couldn't help but show surprised expressions, and many even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Such a slender and delicate girl, yet she could eat so much…

Was this girl serious when she said earlier that she would eat everything here…?

Could this be some competitive eater coming to teach the boss a lesson, putting on a show?

"Lin Fan, tell me the truth, how many days has it been since you last fed your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Yan asked in astonishment.

His arms were sore from flipping the meat on the grill, but Long Yue showed no signs of stopping. This gave him a reasonable basis to suspect that Lin Fan might have been mistreating her in secret, starving her…

"No way, she just ate a big pot of noodles for lunch…"

Lin Fan was also stunned.

He had vaguely noticed at home that Long Yue had a good appetite, but he never expected her to eat this much!

This was the first time he had seen her go all out, eating without any reservations…

"Huh? Why aren't you guys eating?"

"Uh… we're full. You eat,"

Lin Fan and Zhou Yan said with awkward smiles.

In reality, neither of them had eaten much. Most of their time was spent busy cooking for her, and even peeling shrimp for her. They hadn't even finished the meat on their own plates.

"Can't eat anymore after just a little? Honestly, I'll reluctantly help you eat it then~"

Long Yue popped the last piece of meat in her bowl into her mouth and reached out, pulling the meat from Lin Fan's and Zhou Yan's bowls to her side and finishing it all.

The waiter had said earlier that wasting food would result in the forfeiture of the deposit!

She had no choice but to help them finish the leftovers.

"Lin Fan, I suddenly feel that if sister-in-law doesn't want to be a virtual streamer anymore, she could switch to a competitive eating career. I don't think there would be any problem…"

Feeling Long Yue's astonishing appetite, Zhou Yan said to Lin Fan beside him.

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I think so too…"

Given the amount Long Yue could eat, he felt she could challenge those famous competitive eaters today without any issue…

He suddenly felt like the financial pressure of their household life had increased a b
