Mandarin Duck Hotpot

In Shu Region, autumn is always accompanied by continuous rain. It has been raining for several days in a row. Su Yu likes this kind of gloomy weather. He leans against Daphne in the back seat and takes a nap. It feels really great.

"Let's eat hot pot together!"

Ginny, using the Shu Region she had learned from Cho Chang, ran over and grabbed Su Yu's arm, shaking it.

"Yes, yes..."

Su Yu was somewhat exasperated. "Can you guys handle spicy food? You're always clamoring for hot pot. Fine, just don't cry later."

"Boss! I'd like a half-and half-half Mandarin Duck Hotpot!"

Sure enough, as soon as the bus stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant by the roadside, Callis, Ginny, and the others rushed in and started ordering.

"Mandarin Duck Hotpot? Okay."

The hot pot restaurant owner is a native of Shu Region. There's no other way; with more and more tourists coming these days, he has to consider the feelings of his customers. Besides, these foreigners clearly can't handle spicy food, so a half-and- Mandarin Duck Hotpot Mandarin Duck Hotpot is.

"Yes, a mushroom soup and a tomato!"

"I'll fuck you..."

Soon, the boss kicked the girls out; they were just there to annoy him.

Su Yu rubbed his forehead. He had thought that these people couldn't eat spicy food, but he hadn't expected that they hadn't even considered ordering the spicy hot pot. Seeing the girls still indignant, he had no choice but to try to persuade them.

"Forget it, the boss is being lenient by not beating you guys up. If Malfoy and the others had said that, the boss would probably have them begging for mercy on their knees by now..."

"Kneeling and begging for mercy? No way... Is it really that bad?"

Malfoy didn't quite understand. It was just that they didn't order spicy hot pot; was it really necessary to make such a fuss?

"I'm absolutely certain you'll end up in this terrible state unless you reveal your Eye of Tianjin."

Su Yu patted Malfoy on the shoulder with great certainty.

"Eye of Tianjin? What's that?"

"Hmm... how should I put it, have you ever heard of a drink called 'Beer Tea Refresh'? Yes, that's it, but in Shu Region, it's called 'Lao Zi Gei Li Beer Tea Refresh '! Experience it for yourself."

After saying that, Su Yu went back to the bus. There was no other way but to find another place to eat.

"This cake is so delicious! Su Yu, you should try some."

Finally, after the group visited more than a dozen hot pot restaurants, one owner, seeing how pitiful they were, reluctantly invited them in, clutching his chest and suppressing his heartache.

Ginny held out a sweet leaf-wrapped Ye'er Baba to Su Yu's mouth, wanting him to try it too. Su Yu didn't refuse, took a bite, and praised how delicious it was.

"This one, this one is delicious too!"

Kurama squinted as he ate the Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake in front of him, his little feet swinging back and forth, looking completely satisfied.

"Boss! Another serving of sesame paste, please!"

Malfoy was simmering tripe in the mushroom broth when he turned around and yelled at the owner, making the owner so angry he almost overturned the pot.

The group split into two tables and enjoyed hot pot in the rain late at night. They were having a great time, except for the owner, who had to take two Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pill before he slowly recovered.

The Tang Sect of Shu Region, descended from the Mohist School during the late Warring States period, boasts a history of over two thousand years, making it a truly ancient institution.

Skilled in forging various mechanisms, concealed weapons, and poisons, even in today's cultivation world, facing a sneak attack from a Tang Sect master would be extremely troublesome.

Su Yu and his companions walked through the bamboo forest in the mountains. Thousands of green bamboos rose from the ground, each stalk upright and verdant, with dense layers of bamboo leaves overlapping, filtering the sunlight into a dim and fragmented pattern.

The mountain wind rustled through the forest, and the vast bamboo forest made a rustling sound that filled the surrounding area, covering the sound of footsteps on the stone steps. The ancient path paved with bluestone slabs meandered up the mountain, and tiny bamboo roots sprouted from the cracks in the slabs, covered with a thin layer of damp moss.

"Blaise, what if we're walking along and suddenly a poisonous snake jumps out and bites us?"

Blaise glanced at Callis; he knew perfectly well that this fearless little girl, as a Slytherin, was afraid of snakes.

"Don't worry, if it bites you, please don't ask me to suck out the poison. I'm afraid of getting poisoned too."

"Are you asking for a beating?!"

Just as the two were playfully fighting, young Master Malfoy let out another scream. The unlucky boy, Callis wasn't bitten, but our young master was unlucky enough to be bitten by Bamboo Pit Viper.

In an instant, Malfoy felt an excruciating burning pain where he had been bitten, and the wound began to swell rapidly, with large black patches spreading.

"Ah!!!"

Young Master Malfoy let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"Help me! Help me! Help me! Pansy, I'm dying..."

Su Yu almost laughed. It seemed that Malfoy was really incompatible with East University. He had only been there for a short time, and he was either living in fear or suffering unexpected disasters. Bamboo Pit Viper were not particularly venomous snakes, and given their constitutions, they would probably only feel unwell for a few days, not to the point of death. But Malfoy didn't know that and thought he was about to die. He was lying on the ground, grabbing Pansy's arm and almost crying.

Pansy looked anxiously at Malfoy's blackened wounds and then looked at Su Yu and the others.

"This snake is probably poisonous! Quick, someone help suck it out!"

"That's probably not going to work..."

Su Yu looked at Malfoy and smiled somewhat maliciously.

"?"

Pansy turned around in surprise to look at Su Yu, Su Yu coughed twice.

"Um... drug use is illegal..."

No? Chief, how could you do this?

Theodore and Blaise exchanged a glance, then looked at their boss, as if they understood something, and almost burst out laughing.

"Then we can quickly get him to the nearest Hospital Wing..."

Seeing Malfoy crying out in pain, Pansy felt a pang of sympathy and offered another solution.

"That won't work either."

Blaise spoke first, walked over to Malfoy, squatted down, and looked at him with a mocking expression.

"Drug trafficking is also illegal."

Pansy was utterly speechless. Were these people just going to watch Malfoy die...?

"Then can we carry him back to the car and let him rest for a while?"

"That's even worse; possession of drugs is also illegal."

Theodore finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Pansy finally realized that these guys must have figured something out; the snake's venom probably wouldn't have much of an effect on Malfoy. What a bunch of frenemy friends.

"Alright then... no need to save him... Malfoy's practically dead anyway."

"What? I think I can still be saved... Don't let me die here alone... Please, Pansy... Save me..."

Malfoy was terrified at the moment and completely failed to understand everyone's ulterior motives. He clung to Pansy's arm and refused to let go, as if he was afraid that Pansy would abandon him there and leave him to fend for himself.

"Alright, alright, you lot, you're all awful. Let me take a look."

Olivia watched as the group squatted on the ground, clutching their stomachs and laughing so hard they were almost crying. Helpless, she pulled out her first-aid kit, squatted down next to Malfoy, and took out a small knife.

"Tell me, your life or your leg, you can only choose one, which do you pick, Master Malfoy?"

Malfoy's eyes rolled back completely, and he fainted.
