Seeing Wan Ru already digging in, the other female disciples from Spiritual Studies Palace exchanged glances. One of them stepped forward and, in virtually no time, a crowd had formed around Yang Zhen.
Hu Tao glanced up but ignored them, continuing to eat her meal. One set of chopsticks clearly wasn't enough for her; she used her left hand to add ingredients and her right hand to eagerly stuff her mouth with food.
Yang Zhen, with his mouth agape in surprise, heard what Wan Ru had said and responded in a daze, "Spicing it up yourself makes it crazy hot."
Wan Ru exclaimed in surprise and scooped out a generous helping of spicy sauce, startling Yang Zhen.
Before he had a chance to warn her, Wan Ru dumped the sauce into the pot, stirred it, sampled it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
