Seeing the waiter about to pour the boiling water, Xue Yang shouted, "Get back!"
The shout caught the woman's attention. She turned to see the waiter approaching with the boiling water, and her expression changed drastically as she instinctively shielded her child.
In that split second, moving like a god descending from the heavens, Xue Yang kicked stools out from both sides, blocking the waiter's path.
The waiter's hand was scalded. He instantly let go, and the pot of boiling water CLATTERED to the ground, splashing onto his feet. The scalding water made him howl in pain.
"Aah! It burns, it burns, it burns!"
The other patrons reacted, and the hotpot restaurant owner rushed out from the kitchen. Seeing the situation, he ducked back inside and emerged with a basin of cold water. He splashed it on the waiter's feet, which lessened the agony, but the man was still in excruciating pain.
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
The restaurant was thrown into pandemonium.
