Chapter 150 Garlic Butter And Herb Popcorn
noticing lily's trembling body, lucian ordered the system, [protect lily!]
his words were spoken in a displeased and domineering tone, leaving no room for disagreement.
without saying a single word, the system spread its soul power to cover lily, instantly relieving her from the overwhelming pressure. although they were all weaker than her, the combined pressure of hundreds of mana sense had been too much.
not even taking a moment to question who was responsible for helping her, lily said shyly, [thank you, big brother lucian.]
her heart felt incredible sweetness. it was even sweeter than the berry blast.
[i'm the one responsible for helping you. where's my thanks?] the system complained, but only its host could hear its words.
ignoring the system, lucian gave lily a reassuring nod.
a silver light flashed and a food cart appeared in front of lucian and lily. the cart, made of stainless steel, reflected the afternoon sun at the crowd, drawing even more attention.
"what are they doing now?"
"i-is that ... a food cart?
"setting up a food cart? ...here? of all places?"
"is he insane?"
[chef lucian never fails to impress.] hervy teasingly spoke after breaking out of his daze from the shocking display.
[his dedication to cooking is unmatched!] lane said coldly, but with a hint of noticeable respect in his tone.
[senior, is-
at regular intervals, lucian shook the pot, ensuring every single kernel was evenly heated. after a few minutes, the popping began slowing down, signaling there were only a few kernels yet to have popped. after shaking the pot one last time, he uncovered the pot, releasing a golden cloud of fragrant steam that made the onlookers lean in to sniff the aroma.
"my goodness! how can popcorn smell this good?"
the kernels were perfectly popped, each one, coated in a glistening layer of golden garlic butter and hints of red from the fire blossom oil.
lucian then sprinkled half a tablespoon of dried emerald sage, half a tablespoon of dried star pearl thyme, and a fourth of a teaspoon of misty sea salt onto the popcorn.
after tossing the popcorn up and down a few times, lucian poured the popcorn into a disposable popcorn bucket that appeared on the counter.
the disposable popcorn bucket was similar to the popcorn buckets sold at movie theaters. the only difference was instead of red and white stripes, it was white and gold with the word transcendence written in the middle in beautifully written text.
the garlic butter and herb popcorn was a masterpiece. it was both visually appealing and aromatic.
with that, the garlic butter and herb popcorn was complete. stay tuned with empire
lily's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the golden fluffy popcorn. [big brother lucian, it looks and smells amazing!]
lucian smiled warmly at her, [if you think so, how about being the first to taste my newest creation? it's called garlic butter and herb popcorn. go on!]
[can lily really be the first?]
after seeing her big brother lucian nod, lily was encouraged as she gulped down the pool of saliva in her mouth. she then grabbed a popcorn and brought it to her mouth. surprisingly, despite the black mask being in the way of the popcorn and her fingers, they seemingly phased through it, allowing her to place the popcorn into her mouth.
*crunch*
lily's eyes widened as her teeth bit into the popcorn. beyond the initial crunch lay a soft fluffy interior. the glistening garlic butter and oil coated her mouth, making her tastebuds dance in joy.
seeing this, lucian was pleasantly surprised, he turned his indifferent face in james' direction, and nodded at him.
feeling a gaze on him, james' dazed and hungry expression immediately cleared as he looked at the source of the gaze.
