Chapter 1420: Feels Miserable. Feels Like Crying
Tony quickly finished the crayfish, and even wanted more.
The seafood he had at Chaos City gave him an unexpected surprise.
After Ayi Crayfish Restaurant had disappeared for no rhyme or reason, he was still lamenting that he could no longer have such delicious crayfish anymore. He didn’t think that after leaving the Demon Islands, he could have an equally delicious braised crayfish here.
To be honest, this crayfish was on par with the spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, and thirteen-spice crayfish.
If he was not on the run right now, he would definitely write an essay about this crayfish tonight!
Tony put down the empty beer mug, and curiously asked Vanessa, “Is seafood so readily accessible over here?”
The crayfish was way too fresh, and with so many customers ordering it, where did the large amount of fresh crayfish come from?
“Also, is the beer a specialty here?” He found this beer very familiar. It was very similar to the beer at Ayi Crayfish Restaurant. When he was eating the crayfish and sipping the beer just now, there was a moment he thought he was back at Carapace Island.
“I don’t know about the seafood, but I don’t suppose it’s very easy to get it. As for the beer, I don’t drink, so I don’t know if it’s a specialty here. Is it good?” Vanessa shook her head. She looked at Tony’s beer mug curiously, looking as though she wanted to give it a try.
“It’s not. It’s bitter. Children should not drink it,” Abraham answered her. He would never let Vanessa try drinking.
“Really? But everyone seems very happy when they drink.” Vanessa did not really buy it.
“Adults go through all sorts of hardships and bitter suffering. The bitterness of beer is nothing compared to all those, and that’s why drinking some would make them feel a little better,” Abraham said calmly.
“Alcohol is something meant for adults. If children drink it, they won’t grow up,” Tony added.
“Alright. I think I should stick to fruit juice.” Vanessa nodded, and looked at the beer as a sly thought flashed across her mind.
“The insanely spicy grilled fish.” Yabemiya cleared everyone’s plates, and quickly served a huge grilled fish.
“What is this? Why does it sting my eyes so much?”
Ton leaned back the moment he felt the heat surge towards his eyes. The spiciness and sting made him tear uncontrollably.
Abraham, who was sitting at the side, had long shifted back a little. He looked at the spicy grilled fish as though he saw the devil. Something deep within his soul started shaking. His weak, fragile a*shole… could it go through one more round of torture?
Vanessa, on the other hand, leaned forward happily and took in a deep whiff. She smiled happily, and told Tony, “This is the insanely spicy grilled fish. It’s super-duper good. The fish is so huge, have some with us, Mister.”
“I…” Tony waited for the sting in his eyes to subside a little before looking at the grilled fish that was covered with red hot chopped chili. He could already feel his throat burning before he even ate the fish. Do the people in Chaos City eat chili like that?
Even the spicy crayfish that he thought was unbearably spicy was nothing compared to this!
It really was his first time seeing a dish that could sting his eyes with just the smell alone.
“Don’t tell me you don’t dare to eat it?” Vanessa blinked.
“How is that possible? This level of spiciness is just normal for us demons,” Tony scoffed.
“Wow, that sounds impressive.” Vanessa’s eyes lit up.
“Heh, heh.” Tony faked a relaxed laugh, but he was already regretting inside. He should not have boasted without thinking…
“Then let’s dig in. It tastes the best fresh from the grill.” Vanessa picked up her chopsticks eagerly. She put a piece of fish meat into her mouth, and her face flushed red immediately. However, she seemed to be enjoying it—enjoying the feeling of her taste buds suffering from the insane spiciness.
Could it be that it doesn’t taste as spicy as it smells? There isn’t much reaction from this young lady, so I guess it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Tony thought to himself. He did not want a young lady to look down on him, so he also picked up his chopsticks, and brushed the chili aside. After that, he picked up some fish meat, thought for a while, and decided to dip it in the gravy before putting it into his mouth.
Immediately after the meat entered his mouth, there was nothing much. The meat was soft and tender under the crispy skin. That was a very superb grilling technique, and it was rare to be able to eat such a perfectly grilled fish even on the Demon Islands.
However, the moment the gravy touched his taste buds, he could no longer remain calm!
Was it spicy?
No!
It was pain!!!
It felt as though someone had pulled his tongue out, and then a dwarf blacksmith started waving his hammer, smashing his tongue.
His delicate tongue and those sensitive taste buds were so heavily beaten that he almost forgot who his mother was.
His face flushed red instantly. It did not turn a little red, but glowed as red as a tomato. There was even steam coming out of his head.
He felt as though every single cell in his body was raging and causing chaos.
After the momentary pain, the spiciness kicked in.
That was not the normal spicy…
The spiciness was really insane!
It was as though a magic caster threw a ball of flame on his tongue, and then poured boiling oil in his mouth. The flames burned and wreaked havoc in his mouth while slowly expanding down his throat.
Tony felt the need to spit the meat out, or he might be burnt to death. As for his ego…
F*ck the ego!
“Mister, is it good?” Vanessa suddenly asked.
“Er…” Tony opened his mouth, and the meat glided down his throat. His neck turned red immediately as the meat went down his throat and into his stomach.
Tony blanked out for a while. After that, he picked up Abraham’s beer, which was at the side, and took two large mouthfuls. Next, he even chewed on the ice in the mug and swallowed it before feeling a little better. The clothes he was wearing were already completely drenched in sweat, and he was dazed.
Abraham raised his hand as he looked sympathetically at Tony, and told Miya, “Two more pints of chilled beer.”
Wait… how can such a scary level of spiciness exist in this world? Besides, why can this young lady enjoy it so much?! This is not the normal standard of spiciness a demon can take!!! Tony looked at Vanessa in shock, and felt as though he was cheated.
Feels miserable. Feels like crying.
