Gourmet of Another World

The ending was beyond everyone’s expectations.

King Pingyang shrugged. Bu Fang was eventually taken away by the Divine Chef Temple. Although no one knew if he would stay alive or dead after this, at least he was alive when he was taken away. So he did not stay too long but returned to his residence.

Luo Sanniang was being carried behind Luo Hui’s back. Suddenly, she woke up. She had not been much hurt but mentally shocked, and the self-protect mechanism of her body had made her pass out. Now that the shock was gone, she regained her consciousness.

She opened her eyes and glanced around. It was a mess down below, but she did not see Bu Fang. “Where is he?” she asked hastily.

Could Bu Fang be killed by Mo Pao? If not, she could not imagine how he managed to escape from the head of the Mo Family. After all, Mo Pao was a God King, and he had comprehended at least one hundred Laws. In the face of a mighty expert like this, Bu Fang was no different from a worm.

Luo Hui had a strange look on his face. He did not know how to tell his sister. Even he was somewhat struck dumb as no one expected that Bu Fang would be taken away by an expert of the Divine Chef Temple. Besides, he never knew there was that kind of existence in Divine Chef Temple, who could defeat Mo Pao, a newly promoted God King, with just two moves.

On top of that, Luo Hui was not sure if the woman had come to save Bu Fang. In his opinion, however, the chef’s fate should not be too good. So he did not say too much.

The head of the Luo Family took Luo Sanniang home and prohibited her from continuing her involvement in the Divine Chef Temple’s affairs. The reason was simple: the Divine Chef Temple had saved Bu Fang, a man the imperial concubine wanted to kill. It would be in trouble soon, and he did not want her to be implicated.

Mo Pao had flown into a rage with shame and said he would complain to the Divine Emperor. The complaint of a God King was enough to attract the emperor’s attention. So there would be a major earthquake in the capital soon.

The storm quickly spread across the whole divine dynasty. After all, the news was too big to hide. The Mo Family’s residence was destroyed. Its business genius, Mo Hen, was killed, and several of its mid-grade Gods and a high-grade God were slain.

It shocked everyone, and when the people learned that the culprit was just a Demigod, they were utterly struck dumb. They had never known a Demigod so freakishly fearsome.

The incident had also made the conflicts between the few major powers come to the surface. Among them, the involvement of the Divine Chef Temple attracted the most attention. In the divine dynasty’s capital, the Divine Chef Temple was a monster. Some said that it was powerful enough to fight the imperial court, and that seemed to be proven now.

Mo Pao went into the palace and reported the incident to the imperial concubine. She was furious, and the whole capital immediately shook. However, everything calmed down when the Divine Emperor spoke.

“This matter must be considered carefully before making a decision.”

Those were the Divine Emperor’s words. Everyone fell silent upon hearing that. Even the imperial concubine did not dare to say anything. The Divine Emperor had spoken, and no one dared to disobey.

However, the fact that the Divine Emperor commented on this matter was thought-provoking, and people began to come out with all kinds of speculations about the Divine Chef Temple’s true identity.

…

The top floor of the skyscraper that was the Divine Chef Temple towered above the clouds. Through its transparent windows, one could see the white clouds floating outside and the magnificent scenery of the whole capital.

Bu Fang sat on a chair in a room located on the top floor. Opposite him was a woman in a long red dress. Wearing a silver mask, she clasped her hands behind her back and stood facing the window, looking into the distance.

He could only see her back. Her figure was curvy and perfect, but the dreadful aura emanating from her made him dare not look at her. The fact that this woman could defeat Mo Pao with one move proved that her strength was extremely frightening.

She did not talk, so Bu Fang also kept his mouth shut. He could take this opportunity to recover his divine sense, so when it was time to fight, he would have the strength.

Time was slowly passing by. The woman kept watching at something until the world turned dark and the stars flickered in the sky. Bu Fang sat cross-legged in cultivation, recovering his strength. At night, the sky became more enchanting and beautiful, and the stars seemed almost close enough to touch. The boundlessness of the starry sky was completely presented in front of one’s eyes.

Bu Fang opened his eyes, which seemed to flash. He had returned to his peak form and felt that his divine sense had grown stronger. To his surprise, the complete depletion was actually beneficial to the enhancement of his divine sense.

There was no limitation to the cultivation of his divine sense, so it could keep growing. The cultivation of his flesh, on the other hand, could only be exchanged with sales volume by completing the restaurant sales task.

“Have you recovered?” the woman asked lightly. There was no one else in the room, so she was naturally talking to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang stood up, nodded, and walked straight to the window, regardless of whether she approved or not. He was also attracted by the beautiful night scene. “It’s beautiful. The night sky, the stars… They are very attractive,” he said.

The woman turned her head in surprise and looked at Bu Fang. “You are bold… Do you think my purpose is to save you? If truth be told, when you took out Mu Hongzi’s jade pendant, I felt an urge to crush you to pieces…” she said in a cold voice.

As her voice rang out, the atmosphere in the room dropped below the freezing point. The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. ‘Why is she so full of hate? What kind of romantic debt did Mu Hongzi leave behind that it made this woman hate him so much?’

“However… That jade pendant had saved you. Otherwise, I don’t think you can survive that hopeless situation,” the woman said faintly.

Bu Fang could not see her expression because her face was hidden under the mask. The only thing he could see was her eyes, which were filled with mysteries like chaos.

“Why?” he asked suspiciously.

“That jade pendant is a token belonging to Mu Hongzi, which is also the token of the Lord of the Divine Chef Temple. Do you understand now?” The woman gave Bu Fang a sideways glance. “I hate Mu Hongzi, but that’s my business. As the Lord of the Temple, I have to show him some respect, so I saved you…” she said.

“Can you tell me where Mu Hongzi is?”

‘Here it is,’ Bu Fang thought to himself. Perhaps this was the woman’s real purpose of saving him—she wanted to know where Mu Hongzi was.

Bu Fang had thought that Mu Hongzi was a real border emissary of the divine dynasty. Now, it seemed that the original emissary might have been dumped somewhere by him, and he was just an impersonator. Otherwise, with the hatred he had attracted, how could he walk out of the capital safely?

“If I tell you where he is, are you going to find him and kill him?” Bu Fang asked curiously.

The woman looked at him and shook her head.

There was a look of regret on Bu Fang’s face. Mu Hongzi had set him up, and he was very unhappy about it. He thought the woman was going to kill that fellow…

“Never mind. You don’t have to tell me, and I don’t want to know either. That stinking man… He’s free to go wherever he likes… But understand that I didn’t save you for nothing. Even though I did it to show some respect for Mu Hongzi, if you wish to live, you have to fight for yourself…” the woman said.

That gave Bu Fang pause. The next moment, the woman’s hand rested on his shoulder once again. He heard a humming sound as the void around them transformed. In just a flash, he was brought to the site where the seals of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance were located.

“The Law of Space?” Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath and glanced shockingly at the woman.

“Do you see that seal? If you want to live, break the second seal. If you fail, you die,” the woman said. “Since you can’t break it, I’ll kill you for Mu Hongzi’s sake.”

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth and thought there was something wrong with the remark.

After saying that, the woman stopped talking. She just stared quietly at Bu Fang, giving him invisible pressure.

Bu Fang furrowed his brows. He could sense that the woman was not joking.

The second seal of the inheritance was the tests of the Wok Tossing Style of Affliction. He had passed the first test, but the tests after that were tougher.

The current situation, however, did not give him any other choice. He had to pass the tests. If he succeeded, the woman would let him live. If he failed… she would kill him for Mu Hongzi’s sake.

So… What was the use of this Mu Hongzi?!

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the seal, his Vermilion Robe fluttering.

The Divine Chefs around the inheritance were shocked when they saw him. Some were very excited, wondering if he was here to completely break the second seal.

The woman leaned against the railing and looked at Bu Fang from a distance, facing the seal. Her eyes gleamed with a serious look as she watched.

The next moment, Bu Fang’s spirit was drawn into the inheritance’s seal. With a rumble, a stove and a black wok with countless stardust in it appeared before him again. His face became grim. He grabbed the black wok, and as his divine sense boiled, he began to toss it.

Every time the black wok hit the stove, it would give out a violent rumble. Meanwhile, a counter appeared over the seal, and its number kept jumping, attracting everyone’s attention.

The crowd thought Bu Fang was just challenging himself, but in fact, the result of this test would determine his life and death.
