A rich spicy aroma wafted through the air, and the large grilled fish in front of Schonard instantly attracted the attention of all of the surrounding customers. Everyone had witnessed the insanely spicy grilled fish's insanely spicy flavor, but no one had ordered it yet.
The large grilled fish that was around half a meter in length took up almost half of the table, and there was a layer of red chili on top of it. Only the head and tail of the fish could be seen, and just the sight of it was enough to make one's mouth go dry. Furthermore, the rich spicy flavor of the grilled fish struck one with a sense of awe.
It really was insanely spicy.
Meg had recommended the insanely spicy dish to him, and he had actually ordered it. He really was a true warrior. The only question was how he would react after tasting it. There was an orc who had just eaten the medium spicy dish, and his belt had snapped in half.
Vivian was also a little surprised to see Schonard's grilled fish. Her body didn't allow her to eat too much chili. In other words, she wasn't supposed to eat anything spicy or stimulating at all.
However, she had been craving the bland food at home every day. It wasn't easy for her to come out, so she naturally had to eat something with some flavor. However, this insanely spicy dish clearly didn't suit her. Even though it was most likely impossible for her to recover from this illness, she still wanted to live a few more years and eat more delicious food.
If her body allowed it, she really wanted to try this insanely spicy dish to see just how insanely spicy it was.
Schonard looked at the bright red grilled fish in front of him, and the overwhelming spicy flavor made it difficult for him to even open his eyes. He suddenly regretted ordering the insanely spicy dish. It was way too spicy.
However, he quickly sensed that everyone was looking at him with reverence in their eyes. Even Vivian seemed to be looking at him in a different light, and that gave him a boost of morale. He flung his half-length red hair aside, and a nonchalant expression appeared on his face. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, and the piece of fish was completely enshrouded in the vibrant red sauce before he slowly fed it to his mouth.
Many customers in the restaurant put down their chopsticks and looked at Schonard. In the kitchen, Meg was scooping the Yangzhou fried rice into a bowl, and he was also looking at Schonard with great interest. He also wanted to know how the insanely spicy dish would react.
Vivian's outstretched chopsticks faltered momentarily before slowly withdrawing them as she looked at Schonard with raised eyebrows. She didn't think that Meg had any good intentions in recommending the insanely spicy dish to him. Schonard appeared to be a mild-tempered man, but he was definitely not an honest man.
Schonard was very happy to be the center of attention. Even though it was a little awkward that he had failed to reserve the entire restaurant, he had successfully attracted Vivian's attention by ordering the insanely spicy dish that no one else dared to order.
"Isn't it just a little more chili? Heh, let me conquer this so-called insanely spicy. " Schonard declared with a disdainful expression before placing the piece of fish into his mouth.
"Boom!"
The spicy sauce melted in his mouth, and Schonard felt as if a voice had suddenly exploded in his mind. He was completely dumbstruck for a long while before coming to his senses. He then felt as if his tongue had gone completely numb from the tip to the base of his tongue, and a scorching sensation spread throughout his mouth. It was as if what he had just eaten wasn't a piece of fish, but a mouthful of boiling lava instead.
The scorching sensation coexisted with the numbness, and his entire mouth felt as if it didn't belong to him anymore. He couldn't even spit out the fish, and his mouth could only chew on it in an unconscious manner.
He bit into the fish, and the tender flesh melted in his mouth under the spicy sauce. Even though his mouth was completely numb, he could still clearly taste the freshness of the flesh and the crispness of the skin. Even though the scorching sensation wasn't alleviated by this, the delectable taste made him forget about the spicy sensation, and he desperately wanted to suppress the spiciness with delicious flavor.
In the instant that the piece of fish entered Schonard's mouth, all of his red fur stood up on end as if it had been electrocuted. His face turned from white to red, then to green, then back to red again. It was like a traffic light, and it was quite a comical sight to behold.
What was even more miraculous was that there was smoke rising from his head, and it was as if his red fur had been set ablaze.
"Wow, a red-haired lion that can emit smoke! That's so cool! "Amy just so happened to turn around and catch sight of this, and she clapped her little hands with her mouth slightly agape.
"Pffft …" Vivian burst into laughter upon hearing this. This little girl was so adorable that she couldn't help but want to give her a hug.
"Insanely spicy really is insanely spicy. Even his head is smoking. But this guy's new nickname is probably Red Lion, right?"
"Wrong, you forgot to add 'smoking'. That's the main point."
"Hahaha, Little Boss is so adorable! I really want to steal her away! "
"That's a very dangerous thought, young man. He has two great magic casters watching from the back."
"After this, he'll probably never want to eat chili again. Looks like he has to keep a low profile in front of Mr. Mak. Otherwise, if he were to be recommended insanely spicy, he'd definitely finish it even if he had to cry."
All of the customers burst into laughter upon seeing this. This Schonard had requested the insanely spicy dish himself, so he could be considered a perfect example of a failure at flexing.
"Insanely spicy isn't as simple as adding a little more chili." Meg glanced at the half-sliced black chili beside him. This was the legendary insanely spicy chili. Just as its name implied, it was an insanely spicy chili. It was a version of the insanely spicy chili that the system had modified using the poisonous tongue of the Nagas.
Aside from the fact that it contained an extremely high amount of capsaicin, the system had also modified the chili to greatly reduce its irritation and damage to the human body. However, since it was called insanely spicy, there were naturally some side effects, but they were all within an acceptable range for the human body.
"I'll just have to give this brat a small punishment, and he should know how to behave." Meg withdrew his gaze with a smile and continued to cook.
Schonard could hear the laughter of the customers and Vivian, and he was a little frustrated. He didn't think that he would still underestimate this chili. However, he had no time to think about anything else now. He quickly picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it into his mouth. His mouth had already become completely numb, and only the delicious fish could slightly suppress the scorching sensation.
The fish was simply too delicious, and Schonard had never tasted such delicious fish in his life. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop himself, nor did he want to. Tears began to flow uncontrollably from his eyes.
Spiciness and deliciousness coexisted, pain and joy, and tears streamed down Schonard's face as he ate. He had already completely forgotten that he was trying to establish a gentlemanly image in front of Vivian.
