Chapter 101 Hot Pot Must Be Incredibly Spicy
"Thank you so much, Miss Officer Jenny! If it weren't for you standing up for me today, I'd probably be in a lot of trouble."
"Come on~" Jun Sha Ran rolled her eyes: "Others may not know, but I know about your relationship with Qiao Yi Jing."
Although the security system wasn't under her jurisdiction, her words carried weight enough that even the alliance's top brass had to think twice before speaking to her.
"You can't say that. If a boyfriend gets into trouble and his girlfriend has to step in and solve it, that's pretty embarrassing, isn't it?"
"Oh, so you're admitting you owe me a favor, right?"
Lin Ye was taken aback, then nodded: "Of course, I will remember this kindness today."
"Don't hold it against me. I just got off work and you called me here. I haven't eaten yet, so you should treat me."
"Inviting you to dinner is a small matter, but someone is still waiting for my news!"
"Hmph~, you're talking about Qiao Yijing, aren't you? Can't you bear to be apart from her for even a moment!"
Qiao Yijing was unaware of this matter. Lin Ye was referring to Xiao Yao, but there was no need to explain to Jun Sha Ran, so she said:
"Never mind then, I'll send her a message saying that you helped me out of this predicament, and I want to treat you to a meal to repay you, and tell her not to wait anymore."
"Really! You really turned down a date with Qiao Yijing to treat me to dinner? That's great, I finally beat her this time."
Jun Sha Ran thought that Lin Ye had stood her up because of her childhood rival, Qiao Yi Jing, and became smug.
"Miss Officer Jenny is joking. It's just a meal; there's no need to make such a big deal out of it!"
"Hmph, you stupid man! When it comes to compromising, there's only zero times or countless times."
If I can make you refuse your date with her today and treat me to dinner instead, next time I can make you cheat on her by booking a hotel room with me.
"I'll film it and send it to her then, and that'll really drive that proud girl crazy! Hehehe~~"
"Miss Officer Jenny, your smile is a little creepy!"
"Pfft~, sorry, I was thinking about something sad, pfft~~!"
Also, we've fought side-by-side before, so don't call me Officer Jenny, just call me Ranran!
"Okay~, Ranran, which restaurant do you want to eat at?"
"I like spicy food, so let's go eat hot pot! I know a really good place called Guo Di Lao!"
"Okay, let's go there! Oh, right!" Lin Ye asked the question that had been on his mind the most:
"You arrested that chief, but he seems to have powerful backing. Could this implicate you?"
Jun Sha Ran burst out laughing: "Please, do you even know the value of the name Jun Sha?"
Even if the person behind him is incredibly powerful, he can't be saved once he's in my hands.
As for any repercussions? I'm representing the Officer Jenny clan in Lilycove City, responsible for its security. Who do you think would dare to do that?
"That's true. No matter what kind of background the person behind him has, once they find out that you are the one investigating this matter, all they will think about is how to distance themselves from it."
...............
The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at a famous hot pot restaurant in Shuijing City.
If they come during mealtimes, there will most likely be a long queue.
However, since it was almost midnight, they went in without queuing.
Even so, the hot pot restaurants were still more than 80% full at midnight, which gives you an idea of how many regular people were there.
At this moment, Jun Sha Ran, who came here to eat, had disguised herself and looked like a celebrity or model who had gone out in disguise.
This is also a common skill shared by Officer Jenny and members of the Joy family, who look alike and are renowned.
The two were led to an empty table by the waiter. Jun Sha Ran skillfully ordered a large table of dishes, only asking Lin Ye if he wanted a hot pot with two broths!
Lin Ye smiled gently and indicated that he could eat the extra spicy broth. If Jun Sha Ran couldn't handle it, she could order a medium spicy broth.
Upon hearing this, Jun Sha Ran's eyes lit up, revealing a look of rare understanding, indicating that Lin Ye had excellent taste.
Once a large pot of bright red, insanely spicy broth was served, the two immediately began to cook vegetables and meat, thoroughly enjoying their meal.
"Awesome!"
"When it comes to hot pot, it has to be insanely spicy. Unfortunately, my colleagues don't know how to eat it and can't keep up with me at all. Lin Ye, I'm really growing to like you more and more."
"I've loved spicy food since I was a child, but I never expected that you, Ranran, who are so beautiful and elegant, would eat so heartily."
"Hehe~, don't judge a book by its cover. Maybe I have a spicier side when I do other things."
"The spicier side, what's that for!"
"Hehe~, it'll be a secret for now, you'll find out later."
"Hmm~, by the way, I used to love spicy food, but this hot pot feels very special today."
After eating, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my body, as if I had inexhaustible strength.
"Hehe~, you don't even know this? You still have the nerve to say you can't live without spicy food."
Do you know why hot pot base is so popular? It's because the chili peppers in their hot pot base are made from a special kind of chili pepper called "fierce chili"!
This kind of Pokémon isn't exactly common, and it's even rarer in Hoenn, which is why it's become their biggest selling point.
"Chili pepper! I know that. It seems to be the only Fire and Grass-type Pokémon. I didn't know they had this effect, and even their taste is so unique."
"Hmm~, the sap secreted from the flowers of the hot pepper is the best chili oil."
It is said that the owner of this restaurant raises a lot of high-end chili peppers, which are then harvested in rotation in the kitchen!
Unfortunately, I heard that a large corporation wants to acquire the land in this area, and the owner is quite old; I wonder how many more times I'll be able to eat here.
"I see! I never knew chili peppers had this effect; they're truly a top choice for working people!"
Lin Ye was splashed by Xiao Yao's smooth little hand while watching the movie.
Although this was insignificant compared to his terrifying stamina, it did take some toll.
But right after eating these ingredients, the feeling of depletion was quickly replenished, and there was even an immediate urge to do it again.
In other words, Lin Ye was unaware of Jun Sha Ran's ulterior motives regarding his body; otherwise, he could have satisfied her completely tonight, leaving her feeling refreshed and at ease.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising. Jalapeno is a Grass/Fire type Pokémon, so the chili oil secreted from its body must have the fiery energy of Fire and the vitality of Grass.
With this thought in mind, Lin Ye had a flash of inspiration and used his mental power to communicate with the Azure Flame Blade Demon, causing it to emerge from the shadows.
"Here, this contains energy that will be useful to you. Eat some and see how it goes."
In Lin Ye's view, since it contains such energy, it should be useful to the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
As a result, the Azure Flame Blade Demon took a bite, but closed its eyes and shook its head!
"What? It didn't work?"
Azure Flame Blade Demon shook his head: "I didn't care about such a small thing, it's just that the taste is wrong."
Although it's authentically spicy, it completely masks the original flavors of the ingredients. Everything tastes the same once you dip it in the pot, lacking any culinary appeal.
"Alright, alright, as expected of you. I let you test whether the energy increased, but you only tasted it, didn't you?"
Lin Ye took out a Poké Ball and released Owl. The Owl had been able to hear the sounds outside while inside the Poké Ball, and was filled with righteous indignation after it came out:
"What kind of world is this! What kind of alliance is this! We must have a revolution immediately!"
"Let's put the issue of revolution aside for now, let's try this first!"
"Oh dear, Professor, you just went through something like that, how can you still be in the mood for hot pot? No matter how delicious it is..."
Touyuxiao took a small bite and was immediately stunned. The spiciness made him recover for a while before he gradually began to taste it:
"We still need to be well-fed to continue our great cause!"
