Hairstyle:
Outside the Le Grand Paris
A doorman opened the Agreste car door and Mr. Cheng got out of the car along with Adrien and Lily.
"Cheng Shifu," The mayor walked towards Mr. Cheng, grabbing his hands. "I am delighted and honored to have you on our final show, where you will have the chance to defeat all of the chefs who have competed thus far."
Mr. Cheng nods his head began walking into the hotel with Marinette, Lily and Adrien.
Inside the Le Grand Paris
"Tell us Cheng Shifu, what dish will you be honoring our panel with today?" Alec asked the man, holding the mic to him.
Cheng looked confused, he then looked over to Adrien, who muttered the Chinese translation to him.
"My dish is Celestial soup." Cheng said to Alec.
"Wow! I've heard so much about your legendary Celestial Soup, but today we'll actually get to taste it!" Alec pumped his fist.
The broadcast then ended.
"Would you like us to come with you, Cheng Shifu?" Lily asked.
"No thank you, Lily, Adrien. Cooking needs no words." Cheng then walks away with Alec.
Marinette walks up to Adrien. "Thanks, Adrien. I'm... totally sorry for bothering you for nothing. I really thought he couldn't speak English. I should've learned Chinese."
"No problem, Marinette," Adrien scratches the back of his head. "It was awesome to be able to practice my Chinese, especially with a Shifu."
"A Shifu?" Marinette was confused.
"That means "Master" in Chinese." Lily explained.
"Your Mom's Uncle is a great master!" Adrien praised.
"Well, look who it is!" A familiar voice said, startling Marinette.
The blue-haired hypocrite turned to see it was Chloé.
"My favorite person, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I mean, seriously? Does your great-uncle really expect to win the contest with a soup? It's not even a main dish, it's an appetizer. Why didn't he just make a Chinese main course like Kung Pao Chicken?" Chloé crosses her arms.
"Well, he's not like "everyone else," Marinette quoted the words. "My great-uncle is the best chef in the world. His soup is legendary!"
"In China, Marinette. Anyone in Shanghai would say his soup is legendary. But outside of China, not many know," Lily pointed out, "No offence, but there's plenty of other chefs that are better than your Uncle, Marinette."
"And besides, I despise soup." Chloé pointed out.
"Who cares?" Marinette rolled her eyes.
"You should! Didn't you know? I'm on the jury." Chloé revealed.
"And so am I, which means I'm not gonna be biased with my vote just because the chef is your Uncle. Also, I really like his cooking." Lily told Marinette.
"You didn't tell me that, Lily." Adrien whined.
"I just wanted to surprise you." Lily teased him, "Truth be told, I wish Fei was here to see this. She would have been happy to help support Cheng Shifu."
"Oh yeah?" Marinette stormed up to the designer, "Well, he doesn't need your vote to win! There are other judges with much better taste than yours, you tasteless bitch!"
Lily was appalled by the degrading name she was just called.
"Dupain-Cheng, how dare you call Lily that?!" Chloé glares at her enemy.
"Marinette, how could you call Lily such a word?!" Adrien is upset.
Marinette shrunk away from his angry look. "Sorry..."
"You should be," Chloé hissed, jabbing a finger in Marinette's chest before walking to the stairs angrily. "You've made a big mistake!" She told Marinette, then left.
"I have never once called you out your name, and I would've thought you'd never do it to me, either. Turns out I was wrong," Lily shook her head at Marinette before walking away. Adrien gave her a look of disappointment before following his childhood friend.
"A-Adrien..." Marinette calls after him, but he ignored her. She bit her lip, trying not to tear up.
Le Grand Paris Kitchen
Chloé peered into the kitchen from the hallway, seeing Marinette's Uncle taste his soup. She entered.
"Mr. Cheng, Marinette's looking for you outside." She lied, crossing her arms as he left.
She smirked, closing the doors before walking over to the soup and lifting the lid and putting it down.
"Let's see if the other judges enjoy your Uncle's soup after this, Marinette Dupain-Cheng," Chloé frowns while I put all kinds of different ingredients into the soup. "You will pay for insulting Lily."
She then stirred the soup up before putting the lid back on, smirking.
She walked to the doors as Cheng came back in.
"Marinette wasn't there," He says.
"She must've left," Chloé said. "Sorry for wasting your time," She smirked and left while Cheng was confused.
It was now time to taste Cheng's Celestial soup and Lily was placed next to Chloé.
"As usual, our panel of gourmets is made up of André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris and owner of this luxury hotel, his daughter Chloé, representing the younger generation, Lily Rossi, also representing the younger audience, hot rockstar Jagged Stone and his killer crocodile Fang, and finally, the divine head chef of this very hotel, Marlena Césaire, and yours truly, Alec!" Alec announces.
The judges all sat down in front of the bowls of purple soup.
"It's time to determine the fate of Cheng Shifu's famous Celestial Soup. Let's. Get. Tasting!" Alec cheered.
Chloé was twirling her spoon inside her soup while she smirked. She noticed Lily about to taste her soup but stopped her.
"Chloé?" The designer was confused.
Meanwhile, the other judges tasted the soup, and not a second later, Alec spits it out.
"What is this?!" The man shrieked.
Lily's eyes widened as she looked at Chloé with realization. She should have known that Chloé would sabotage Cheng's soup. In a matter of minutes, Cheng will be Akumatized into Kung Food.
"Uh, I don't think this soup would fare well with our guests! I'll give it a 3/10." André said, holding up a plate with three stars.
"Seeing as it's pretty unappetizing, maybe I'll pass on the tasting, but I'll still give it a zero!" Chloé held up a plate with no stars.
"Um, I'm gonna have to pass on my voting." Lily frowns.
"Ech! It's like kissing a member from the Zombeats! Negative zero!" Jagged held up a plate with no stars.
"I'm sorry, but it's inedible. I give it 1/10" Marlena held up a plate with 1 star.
"Uh... I..." Cheng goes to Chloé's soup and tastes it, then he spits it out. "Uch! I don't understand, I never put these ingredients in. It's a mistake. Someone sabotaged soup!"
Lily gave Chloé a disappointed look.
"I'm sorry, Cheng Shifu, but I'm giving you a zero, too," Alec held up a plate with zero stars. "Which brings your score to .8/10 -- the lowest so far. Celestial Soup will therefore not be in the hotel's menu this year, and you will not be named "World's Greatest Chef!"
"Chloé, how could you do such a thing?" Lily asked, upset.
Chloé sees the disappointment on her friend's face and becomes ashamed of herself. "Sorry, Lily, I just wanted to make Dupain-Cheng pay for calling you a bitch."
"Oh, Chloé..." Lily sighs as the Bourgeois girl as she trudged off. She walks over to Adrien and Marinette. "Chloé sabotaged the soup."
"What?! That spoiled little-!" Marinette was about to go in on her enemy.
"Just quiet, Marinette. You're the cause of this. Chloé would've never sabotaged the soup if you didn't call me a bitch." Lily retorted.
Marinette becomes ashamed while Adrien shook his head.
Marinette walks over to Cheng, who was walking away, and put a hand on his shoulder. "Uncle Cheng? I'm sure it's not your fault. In fact, I know it's not. Chloé sabotaged your soup! And it was.. it was actually because of me. I provoked her, and-"
"Shame is on Celestial Soup. I shall never be World's Greatest Chef!" Cheng walked away.
"No! Uncle Cheng!" Marinette bit her lip anxiously.
"Leave him be, Marinette. We'll wait for him downstairs." Adrien advised.
"M-hm." Marinette nods sadly.
So the three headed downstairs.
Le Grand Paris; Kitchen
Cheng eyed his pot of soup before looking down, dejected at the results that came upon him.
Hawk Moth's Lair
The window opens, revealing the terrorist.
"A great artist was wronged today. I can feel it. I can hear his heart screaming for revenge." Hawk Moth said. He turns a butterfly into an Akuma, "Fly away my little Akuma, and evilize him! Victory never tasted so good!"
The terrorist laughs evilly.
Kitchen
Cheng open his eyes as he noticed a bottle of olive oil. He picks it up and sighed. "Marinette was right. It was evil act by that brat! No respect for Cheng Shifu!"
The Akuma arrives and infects the man's hat. Cheng looks up with a pink butterfly outline that appears on his face.
"Kung Food, I am Hawk Moth. Those who tasted your soup will become your servants. The one who wronged you will pay dearly." Hawkmoth says.
"I will show I am greatest chef in the world!" Cheng declares as he transforms into Kung Food.
Le Grand Paris Dining Hall
Alec is in the middle of filming a segment when he and the other judges began to get a stomachache.
"Ohh, my guts are killing me!" Jagged bangs his fist on the table.
"I'm feeling quite uncomfortable..." The mayor holds his stomach.
There was a sudden cackle as Kung Food landed on a table in front of the jury. "You have eaten my soup; you become my servants!" He cackles again.
The judges' eyes turn orange as they stand up.
"At your command, master." Alec says.
Chloé shrieks at this. "Oh no... this is all my fault!"
Kung Food points to Chloé. "Grab the girl."
The possessed jury run towards Chloé, she tries to run, but her own father grabs her.
"No!" She cries.
"Kung Food will make new soup called Brat Soup!" Kung Food says.
"But I don't like soup!" Chloé yells as she struggles.
Hawk Moth's Lair
Hawk Moth laughs. "Perfect! It won't be long before Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir meet their doom!"
He cackles.
Le Grand Paris Hotel Lobby
The three teenagers were relaxing in the quiet, peaceful lobby. Until pandemonium struck when a cameraman ran as he was being chased by a trio of floating...eyeballs? Maybe dumplings?
"Get out! Hurry! Get out while you still can!" He screamed as he ran out of the hotel.
The teenagers looked at each other with a confused expression and one of the flying dumplings flew to their direction. They thought it was going to attack them but instead showed a projection of what looked like a man wearing a strange costume. It was Kung Food.
"Not polite to leave table without permission. Cut off all exits!" The villain ordered.
Suddenly, a substance was poured over the whole building.
Adrien tried to push the door and noticed some of the substance oozing inside. He dabs his finger in it.
"What's that?" Marinette questioned.
"Caramel?" Adrien smells it. "Yeah, definitely caramel. It might smell good but it's totally indestructible," He knocked on the glass door. "Looks like we're trapped inside."
"Stuck in this sweet prison?" Lily asked. "This is not good."
"My Great Uncle's still upstairs!" Marinette cries.
"He's not upstairs, he's the villain." Lily pointed at the projector.
"What?! No way! Stop telling lies!" Marinette snapped.
"It's pretty obvious that it's him." Lily retorted.
"Don't worry, I'll go find him since he might or might not be the Akumatized victim." Adrien then began to run off.
"Thanks for being helpful Adrien!" Marinette called after him. "Unlike someone." She glared at Lily.
"Whatever." The brunette girl rolled her eyes before running off upstairs.
"You are going to taste Kung Food soup," Kung Food said on the screen. "Everybody, become my servants, and Kung Food become World's Greatest Chef!" He cackled.
"Uncle?!" Marinette realized before she frowned. "So she was right."
Random Suite
Lily enters and lets Tikki out of her purse. "Let's go save Marinette's uncle. Tikki, spots on!"
Le Grand Paris Lobby
Cat Noir and Lady Scarlet landed in at the same time and are shocked to see each other.
"Cat Noir?"
"Lady Scarlet! I don't know about you, M'lady, but I'm a bit hungry."
"Let's go eat then, shall we?"
Le Grand Paris Rooftop
Kung Food was watching the duo from the pool area on his onion projector. "Who are those two?"
A pink butterfly outline appears on the villain's face.
"They are Lady Scarlet, and Chat Noir. They've come to stop you from completing your soup. You must add them to your recipe!" Hawk Moth said.
"Surprise ingredients? Hah! Delicious!" Kung Food points to Jagged Stone. "You! Go capture them!"
"Yes, Master Kung Food." Jagged bows before he runs off, Naruto style.
"Brat Soup even more powerful with superhero flavor." Kung Food said.
"I will not eat your soup!" Chloé yells. She was tied up and hovering over a pool of bubbling soup.
"Foolish girl. You are not eating soup! You ARE soup!" Kung Food revealed.
"Someone, help! Let me down!" Chloé cries, kicking her legs.
"Don't worry, you will be let down soon enough." Kung Food cackles.
Le Grand Paris Lobby
Cat Noir presses the buttons for the elevator but to no avail. "Ugh! It's jammed!"
Just then a flying onion projected a screen of Kung Food behind the heroes.
"Lady Scarlet, Cat Noir! You soon have privilege to be ingredients in Kung Food's soup. But first - you taste my special of the day!"
The elevator opens to reveal Jagged holding a weapon made out of seafood.
"Seafood appetizers." Jagged said.
"Now that is what I call an appetizer." Lady Scarlet hummed in delight as she thought about having a seafood boil.
"Seafood?" Cat Noir scratches behind his head. "This scampi happening. Let's see if you can carry a tuna!" He joked.
"Look out!" Lady Scarlet yells before she and her partner jump backwards after Jagged Stone swings at them.
"That's not very rock n' roll of you, Jagged Stone." Cat Noir said.
"Rock is one thing, soup is another. When I'm done with you, you'll be nothing but minced meat!" Jagged leaped into the air and slammed down his weapon on the table the heroes were on, but they luckily dodged.
Cat Noir skillfully dodged Jagged's sword before leaping out of the way. He takes out his staff and glanced at Lady Scarlet who nods in response.
The duo leaps into action as they engaged into a brief fight.
Lady Scarlet slides under Jagged, using her yo-yo to wrap one of his foot.
Before Jagged could attack Cat Noir, the bug heroine swings him into a closet and Cat Noir closes the door. Lady Scarlet slides a chair under the door handle.
"Good job." Cat Noir praised as he and his partner fist bump.
"Sorry, Jagged," Lady Scarlet apologized sheepishly, "There's no time to lose! Chloé might just be the main dish!" She jumps off the chair. "And we better not wait to find out!"
The miraculous duo runs off.
"Ugh, get me outta here! Come on, then!" Jagged yells as he tried to open the closet door.
Le Grand Paris Rooftop
"This Brat Soup is going to be Kung Food's masterpiece!" Kung Food utters.
"Do you have to tie me up above this foul-smelling liquid? My clothes are going to stink of grease!" Chloé complained.
"Soup not greasy at all! Kung Food soup very well-balanced." Kung Food laughs.
A flying onion flies appears and the projector displays Jagged Stone locked in a closet unable to escape.
"Get me out of here! Come on!"
"Bad sous chef," Kung Food sees Lady Scarlet and Cat Noir entering the elevator and points to Mayor Bourgeois. "You! Do me justice!"
"Yes, Master." The mayor ran off.
The Elevator
"Lady Scarlet, come on." Cat Noir leaned his elbow against the wall. "It's just you and me together. We could go places."
Lady Scarlet smirks. "Uh, yeah. Like up, Kitty." She quipped.
"Exactly! We've got nowhere to go but up!" Cat Noir comments.
The elevator suddenly short circuits, sending the superheroes toppling over.
"You spoke too soon!" Lady Scarlet frowns.
Cat Noir tries the buttons but to no avail. "I think the electricity between us short-circuited the elevator."
Lady Scarlet crossed her arms. "You mean more like us getting ourselves into a sticky situation."
Just then the elevator door opens, revealing André holding a weapon which consisted of sausages and potatoes.
"Royal hotpot with its giant string of smoked sausages!" André expertly swings his weapon around.
"Looks like a food fight is coming our way." Lady Scarlet sighed. "And there's no plates to serve said food on." She pouted.
"I prefer my sausages with mashed potatoes." Cat Noir quipped.
André charged at the heroes and as did they. André captures the both of them with his weapon by the ankles and hurled them into a hotel suite.
"Welcome to the world-famous Suite 36 of this hotel." André says.
"If we're not careful, we'll be the mashed potatoes!" Lady Scarlet warned, startling Cat Noir.
"You're no competition, Lady Scarlet." André says.
"Good thing I've got my partner who can back me up." Lady Scarlet retorted.
André charges at the pair and engages in a short fight with them. Unfortunately, Cat Noir ends up getting captured and André drags the cat hero towards him.
Lady Scarlet frantically looks for a way to help her partner and her eye caught the ceiling above.
The mayor chuckles as he was about to grab Cat Noir.
"Hey, Bourgeois!" Lady Scarlet called, catching his attention. "I bet you don't know how to do this." She does a move with her yo-yo.
"Really, Lady Scarlet?" André copies the move but gets his weapon caught in the chandelier.
He began trying to tug it down and Lady Scarlet giggles as he ends up tugging down the chandelier, tangling himself up in his own weapon.
"Nice work, M'lady." Cat Noir praised his partner. "Shall we go and find the lead chef?" He pointed at the ceiling.
"We shall. I've been dying for the main course." Lady Scarlet smirks.
Le Grand Paris Rooftop
Kung Food is watching from a projector. "Pea-brain! Useless! My recipe not perfect without those two!" He points to Marlena and Alec. "Capture them! And don't mess up or you'll end up in soup, too!"
"Yes, master." The two said in unison before running off.
"My hair is ruined!" Chloé whined, kicking her legs. "And I just washed it today too! Do you know how long it took to style it this morning?"
"It won't be a problem soon." Kung Food responded.
"Lady Scarlet, Cat Noir, help me!" Chloé cried, kicking her legs.
Kung Food chuckles wickedly.
Le Grand Paris Dining Hall
Thanks to Cat Noir's staff, the heroes reach the restaurant.
"We're almost there." Lady Scarlet informs.
"Great. All this fighting has made me hungry!" Cat Noir rubs his stomach.
"Yeah, and it's not only you." Lady Scarlet looks down at her belly.
"Kung Food is generous," Kung Food says from a projector. "No need to choose between cheese and dessert, you get to have both!"
The elevator bell rings and the heroes turned to see Alec and Marlena inside.
"Watch the spectacular demonstration of the famous thousand flying cakes!" Alec gestured to Marlena.
The woman gets out a peppermint arrow and jumps into the air, firing arrows at the heroes which they eluded and blocked.
"Oh ho! Our guests seem to have a few tricks up their sleeve, but how will they fare against the blinding stinging cheese bombs!" Alec fires off a cheese towards Lady Scarlet, which she dodged. He then fired another at Cat Noir and Lady Scarlet quickly pulled him away with her yo-yo. The cheese hit the wall, causing it to explode.
"Thanks, M'lady." Cat Noir thanked Lady Scarlet.
"No problem." Lady Scarlet smiled.
Lady Scarlet charges at Marlena and she fires arrows at the hero, which she avoids. Lady Scarlet then leaps into the air and Marlena shields her face as Lady Scarlet crushes her arrow with her foot, leaving her defenseless.
"Haha!" Alec laughed and aimed his cheese crossbow at Cat Noir. "You're no match for my- yow!" He was cut off when Lady Scarlet's foot made contact with his back, sending him flying as he dropped his crossbow.
A cheese rolled over to Marlena and exploded, stinging her eyes.
"Let's go get our dinner, kitty." Lady Scarlet told her partner before she and him ran inside the elevator.
Le Grand Paris Rooftop
Chloé whimpered silently as she looks down at the bowling hot soup that she was hanged above.
"Ah, temperature is just right." Kung Food rubs his hands together. "Time to add main ingredient!"
Chloé begins to be reeled into the soup. "Oh, no, no, no, no! Noooo!"
Cat Noir's staff suddenly cuts the rope and Chloé screams as she falls into the soup but is caught by Lady Scarlet bridal style while Cat Noir gets back his staff.
"Chloé, are you okay?" Lady Scarlet asked, concerned.
"For the moment. I almost saw my whole life flashed before my eyes." Chloé replied with wide eyes.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Lady Scarlet assured her as she gently put her on her feet and took off the rope.
"Oh no! My Brat Soup will be so flavorless." Kung Food says.
"I know you're more honorable than this, Cheng Shifu!" Lady Scarlet told him.
"I... am not Cheng Shifu, I am Kung Food! The Greatest Chef in the World! And nobody will stop me from finishing my Brat Soup!" Kung Food pulls out two batons.
"Evacuate from this area, Chloé. It's about to get wild here." Lady Scarlet instructed.
"Don't need to tell me twice." Chloé agreed and left the roof.
The heroes charge Kung Food.
"I take care of you two myself!" Kung Food engages in a fight with the Miraculous duo.
The villain manages to kick Cat Noir away while Lady Scarlet kicks the batons out of his grip and flipped backwards, catching the weapons before tossing them in the soup. Kung Food gets out another weapon from his bag.
Lady Scarlet knew that the Akuma wasn't in the bag, it was too easy. That's when she remembered where it was.
"Cat Noir! The Akuma is in his chef's hat! Try to grab it!" Lady Scarlet called out.
Cat Noir kicks Kung Food's weapon away, but he gets out some red spice and blows it in the cat hero's face.
"Ouch!" He yells as he drops his staff. "It burns!"
Kung Food laughs. "Like it spicy?"
"Lucky Charm!" Lady Scarlet receives a check dispenser. "A check?"
"And I think it's gonna be a steep one." Cat Noir quipped.
Kung Food pulls out a gigantic Pizza Sword, shocking the heroes. He laughs.
"Holy pepperoni!" Lady Scarlet yelled.
"You think you can beat me with a piece of paper?!"
"You're one to talk, Kung Food. You've been trying to defeat us with sausages and cheese! Without any luck, I might add." Cat Noir responds sassily, crossing his arms.
Kung Food growls as he swings his weapon at them, but Cat Noir stops the swing with his staff.
Lady Scarlet jumps on top of the giant pizza weapon and tried to advance towards Kung Food but gets thrown away by it, causing her to land on a beach chair.
"I need a vacation after this." Lady Scarlet commented.
"Not the time, M'lady!" Cat Noir yelled as he dodges the villain's attacks as best as he could.
Using her Lucky Vision, Lady Scarlet spots the soup that was inside the pool and the check dispenser. She leaps off the beach chair and start rolling the check paper into the soup, coating it before she ran towards the villain.
Meanwhile, the villain raised up his sword to destroy Cat Noir. However, before he could, Lady Scarlet captures him, tangling him in check paper.
"Cat Noir, all his weapons come from his bag. Destroy it." Lady Scarlet says.
"Got it. Cataclysm!" Cat Noir then destroys Kung Food's bag, the impact making him fall over while the pizza sword disappears.
"Nooo!" He yelled.
Lady Scarlet grabs Kung Food's hat and rips it in half, letting out the Akuma. "Oh no you don't you filthy Akuma!" She catches the Akuma. "Gotcha!" She releases the butterfly from her yo-yo. "So long, little butterfly. Miraculous Scarlet!" She throws the check dispenser into the air.
The magical ladybugs restore everything back to normal and Kung Food reverts back into Cheng. The man looks around in confusion. He then sees Lady Scarlet crouch down to him and offer him his repaired hat with a smile along with a magical charm that matched his colors as Kung Food.
Hawk Moth's Lair
"This evil dinner was almost perfect. Revenge is a dish that's best served cold, so watch yourself because I'll be ready to strike again!" Hawk Moth declares as his window closes.
Le Grand Paris Kitchen
Wang Cheng cooks up the new batch of Celestial Soup and Marinette brings him flowers.
"Could you teach me how to make Celestial Soup, Cheng Shifu?" The blue-haired stalker asked.
"With pleasure, Marinette." Mr. Cheng agreed, taking the flowers.
"Cooking needs no words." Adrien smiles.
The sound of someone clearing their throat was heard. The three turned to see Lily standing outside the kitchen.
"I believe an apology is in order." She says.
"I'm not apologizing." Marinette narrows her eyes.
"I wasn't talking about you," Lily retorts. She steps aside to reveal a frowning Chloé. "I'm talking about her."
"Cheng Shifu... It was me. I'm the one that sabotaged your soup." Chloé shamefully reveals.
Cheng gasps. He wasn't expecting her to admit it.
"I wanted to get back at Marinette for calling my friend a bitch by hurting you, but that's no excuse, I still took pleasure in doing it. I just wanna say..." Chloé swallows, looking at the chef in his eye. "I'm sorry."
Cheng, Adrien and Lily smile at her.
"It's okay. I forgive you. Since you admit you're wrong, that is honorable." Cheng told Chloé in a warm tone.
The Bourgeois girl smiles and bows. "Thank you, Cheng Shifu."
"I've also decided to resign from the jury as I see no point in participating. I'll leave the tasting to the judges." Lily decided.
"Good luck with your soup, Cheng Shifu." Chloé tells the man.
As she and Lily walk away, Adrien smiles after her.
"I've seen a change in Chloé ever since Lily came back," The blonde told Marinette. "I'm so glad that she's helping her."
Marinette quietly scoffs, glaring after the girls, 'Chloé? Change? Please.'
Hotel Dining Hall
"Cheng Shifu, your delicious Celestial soup has received the highest marks overall, making you the final winner!" Alec reveals to Cheng.
Lily and Adrien looked at each other fondly as the latter applauded with everyone else.
"Ah," The mayor tasted the soup. "And it will soon be the Mayor's Special on the restaurant menu of my prestigious hotel!"
Jagged finished gulping down his soup. "Rock n' Roll! I can't wait to get home and write a song about soup!"
"Mmmm," Chloé closed her eyes, soaking up the scrumptious taste of the soup on her tongue. "It's delicious," She smiles. "10/10!"
Cheng smiles and bows to the judges. "Thank you, but no longer Celestial Soup. Now called: Chloé Celestial Soup."
Marinette gasped at this while Chloé was flabbergasted.
"But... why me? I ruined your soup." She mentions.
"Yes, but your integrity moved my heart." Cheng gestured to his heart.
Chloé teared up, but she blinked her tears away before they could fall. "Xièxiè! (Thank you!)" She thanked the man.
"You're welcome." Cheng replied.
"Chloé knows Chinese?!" Marinette's eyes widened.
"She took private lessons when we were younger. She may not be fluent in it, but she knows her fair share," Lily told Marinette. "She's smarter than she looks."
Marinette could say nothing to argue with the designer's words. She just glared at her.
"Lily, since Mr. Cheng remade his soup, would you like to share a bowl with me?" Adrien bashfully offered, surprising Marinette.
"Of course, Adrien." Lily gladly accepted, blushing.
Later that day, Adrien and Lily chatted and laughed as they ate the Chloé Celestial soup in the hotel restaurant. Lily called Fei earlier and told her about today's events. Fei got worried when Cheng Shifu was Akumatized but was glad that he was saved and got a high grade for the soup that's been renamed as "Chloé Celestial soup". She also introduced Adrien to Fei who was happy to meet a new friend.
Meanwhile, a blue-haired stalker was watching them afar, giving Lily a murderous glare like the creep she was.211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazzjhrpZXX
