"The meat! Where's the meat?!"
"Someone fetch more rice—we're running out!"
"Who let them eat the dessert already?! That was supposed to be last!"
The disciples, usually calm and disciplined, had been reduced to frantic runners, dashing in and out of the kitchen with trays stacked high with food.
The pressure was immense, and they could only curse both Riley and Fluffy in their hearts as sweat poured down their brows.
Meanwhile, completely oblivious to the chaos around them, Riley and Fluffy continued their feast.
Riley tore into a roasted leg of lamb, savoring its tenderness, while Fluffy shoved an entire dumpling into its mouth, chewing furiously.
Their gazes met, a silent challenge passing between them.
Not backing down, Riley grabbed an entire fish and devoured it in record time. Fluffy, not to be outdone, lunged at a plate of steamed buns, stuffing two at once into its tiny mouth.
The atmosphere grew tense.
