Gourmet of Another World

“My goodness!”

Looking at the huge spirit impact, the crown prince felt his heart suddenly tighten up. The wind howled in his ears, breaking his shrill cries. Even Bu Fang’s calmness could not soothe the agitation within him—his legs kept shaking at an exaggerated rate.

Suddenly, the wind stopped. Everything around him fell silent. The terrible blow did not fall on him and kill him. It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

The crown prince slowly opened his eyes. His vision wavered slightly, and it was only after a long time that he managed to see everything clearly.

“This… Where is this… place?” the crown prince stammered.

“You can let go of your hands now,” Bu Fang said faintly. He glanced at the crown prince, then at the latter’s hands that were tightly wrapped around his waist.

The crown prince cleared his throat and stepped back. Then, he took a deep breath and looked around.

This was not the Titan Divine Dynasty, which had fallen and turned into the kingdom of the Soul Demon, nor was it the Divine Temple that had been reduced to ruins. He found himself in a rather cozy, luxurious room, which was plainly and neatly decorated.

“This is the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty,” Bu Fang said. Holding the Titan’s Heart, he walked toward the door.

The crown prince froze for a moment, then he followed.

‘How did we end up in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty? Could those white dots of light just now be a teleportation array?! Is there such a powerful teleportation array in this world that can transport us to another place millions of miles away in a moment of thought? This is incredible!’

Pushing open the door, the crown prince followed Bu Fang. After all, he did not know much about the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, and Bu Fang was the only person he knew here…

Now that he had left the Titan Divine Dynasty, he felt a little sad inside. His homeland had turned into the Soul Demon’s paradise, and his father was possessed by a Soul Demon. These were huge blows to him.

After walking out of the room, Bu Fang put his hands behind his back, left the building, and went outside. With a buzzing sound and a flash of light, a figure landed in front of him.

It was Summer. The moment she sensed Bu Fang’s presence within the confines of the Divine Chef Temple, she tore through the void and came to him. She knew he had gone to the Titan Divine Dynasty, but she did not expect him to return so soon. The Titan Divine Dynasty was a very dangerous place.

She looked at him, breathed out a sigh of relief, and asked, “You’re back?”

Bu Fang nodded. The crown prince standing behind him was slightly dumbfounded. Summer’s beauty made him a little nervous.

“And this one is?”

“A poor little boy…” Bu Fang said. He did not explain too much to Summer. Nethery, Lord Dog, and the others were in the restaurant, and he needed to get back there now.

He had completed the temporary task, so the System was going to give him the reward. He was about to collect the last fragment of the God of Cooking Set, and once he got it, he would be able to redeem the last God of Cooking Set.

The System had said that this set could help him fix the other God of Cooking Sets, which was crucial to him.

The three of them walked along the avenue of the Divine Chef Temple. Although Summer was full of doubts, she did not ask any questions. The crown prince was even less likely to say anything. Although he was the crown prince, he was still in confusion after the drastic change.

They left the Divine Chef Temple. Summer’s warship brought Bu Fang and the crown prince toward the Luo Family’s skyscraper. In just a while, they arrived at their destination.

When the crown prince looked through the window of the warship and saw the bustling Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital outside, he could not help but show a shocked expression. Compared to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, the Titan Divine Dynasty was indeed much more barbaric, at least in terms of architectural style.

The warship docking outside the building immediately attracted the attention of the crowd in the restaurant, and when Bu Fang stepped out of it, everyone was in an uproar.

“Owner Bu is back!”

“Good heavens! Owner Bu is back at last! I’m starving!”

“Now that Owner Bu is back, we finally have something to eat!”

Those diners who were captured by Bu Fang’s food immediately went about to inform others. In just a flash, the whole capital knew of his return, and the whole world seemed to be in a commotion.

For a moment, numerous warships flew out from various aristocratic families, and some experts chose to fly toward the restaurant. Even Luo Sanniang could not wait to climb on the warship she had just bought and sped off toward the skyscraper.

…

With a creak, Bu Fang pushed open the restaurant door. Everything was as usual inside, and it was very quiet.

The crown prince took a deep breath and followed. He knew Bu Fang was a chef. ‘Could this restaurant be his?’ Ever since the Soul Demons took control of the Titan Divine Dynasty, all the restaurants there had been closed.

“Aww! Bu Fang young man… You’re back at last! I miss you so much!” Er Ha came running down the stairs and flipped his long hair.

Bu Fang glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

Lord Dog lay under the Path-Understanding Tree. His aura was more profound now, and the void around him was constantly twisting and distorting. He glanced at Bu Fang, then lowered his head again and went back to sleep. To him, it was good enough that Bu Fang had come back safe.

The crown prince looked at everything in the restaurant with wide eyes. The restaurant was not big, but it was crowded. ‘That strange guy and the black dog lying on the ground…’

“You’re back…”

Suddenly, the crown prince’s scalp tingled, and he felt all his hair stand up. At some point in time, a figure in a long black dress with long black hair appeared behind him. He turned his head and saw that the figure had fair skin and a stunning face, but she gave him a… creepy feeling.

Bu Fang lifted his hand and gently patted Nethery on the head. “Yes, I’m back safe and sound.”

Nethery looked at him, pursed her lips, then turned and floated away to comprehend and master the power within her.

“Sit where you like… You can only stay here for now,” said Bu Fang, looking at the crown prince.

Plop!

Suddenly, the Titan crown prince knelt before Bu Fang. With this, he was throwing away all his former pride.

“Huh?” Bu Fang froze slightly, while the surrounding people narrowed their eyes.

“Please take me as your apprentice! I want to learn cooking from you! I know that… only by learning how to cook can I get revenge!”

The crown prince had seen how Bu Fang killed those Soul Demons with stinky tofu, so now he just wanted to learn how to make it from Bu Fang. He wanted to retake the Titan Divine Dynasty with stinky tofu!

Er Ha and the others widened their eyes.

‘Who is this guy? Why is he begging to be Bu Fang’s apprentice as soon as he set foot in the restaurant? What had Bu Fang done to excite his young soul?’

“Get up first, don’t be in such a hurry…” Bu Fang said. He sighed, then turned and stepped into the kitchen. The matter of taking the Titan crown prince as an apprentice was not very urgent—he had serious business to attend to right now.

As the crown prince watched Bu Fang enter the kitchen, his face turned pale. Was Bu Fang going to reject him? But he could not think of any other way to deal with those Soul Demons.

Only the chef—or more accurately, the chef’s food—could disgust those Soul Demons. As the crown prince of a fallen divine dynasty, he must work hard to learn new skills to take back the Titan Divine Dynasty.

“Are you from the Titan Divine Dynasty?” Summer folded her arms and glanced at the crown prince. People in the Titan Divine Dynasty were very easy to recognize as they did not like to wear tops. Such was the case with the guy in front of her, shirtless with barbaric glyphs painted all over his body.

“Yes,” said the crown prince. “I am the… crown prince of the Titan Divine Dynasty.”

Summer and Er Ha were dumbstruck, and the Xiayi crown prince, who had just stepped through the door and heard this, was dumbstruck as well.

The crown prince of the Titan Divine Dynasty? Bu Fang had just gone to the Titan Divine Dynasty for not too long, and yet he already abducted their crown prince? And this crown prince was crying and begging Bu Fang to take him as an apprentice?

It was amazing that two crown princes had gathered in a small restaurant. Now it was missing only the crown prince of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty.

…

As Bu Fang stepped into the kitchen, he lifted his hand and patted Whitey’s round belly. In his other hand, he grasped the glowing Titan’s Heart. Of course, it was not the focus. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he calmed himself down.

‘Congratulations for completing the temporary task. Now issuing the task reward. Please pay attention and acknowledge…’ the System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. His breathing became a little faster, and he could not help but feel excited.

‘Will it be the last fragment of the God of Cooking Set? I’m finally going to collect it!’

With a rumble, Bu Fang could feel that a terrifying aura was awakening in his mind.

‘Attention, Host. The temporary task reward has been issued. Congratulations to the Host for completing the collection of the God of Cooking Set’s fragments. Host can now redeem the God of Cooking Set. Does Host want to redeem it now?’ the System’s voice rang again.

“Yes…” Bu Fang replied in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he sank his consciousness into his spirit sea.

The moment the System’s voice ended, his spirit sea turned completely noisy with shocking waves rising and sweeping out in all directions!

Bu Fang’s spirit sea was as vast as ever. The residual power of the Heavengod was still swirling in it, in addition to the mental force whirlpools and… the hazy mist. At this moment, the mist was gradually dispersing.

Bu Fang’s consciousness hovered beside the God of Cooking’s Menu over the spirit sea. He lifted his head and looked straight into the distance. The mist, which he could not see through in the past, was beginning to slowly disperse at this moment.

Gradually, an enormous, towering figure emerged from that mist. The entire spirit sea seemed to tremble as a terrifying aura spread and filled the air.

Bu Fang’s breathing became rapid. ‘This must be the big guy in the mist! Is he finally coming out?!’

With hands clasped behind his back, Bu Fang stood at the side of the God of Cooking’s Menu, which began to flash and flicker like the stars.

‘Hmm?’ Suddenly, Bu Fang sensed that the residual power of the Heavengod in his spirit sea moved. The Heavengod’s power, which was suppressed by the God of Cooking’s Menu, began to stir the moment the big guy in the mist was beginning to appear.

‘Is this Heavengod’s power going to hurt this big guy too?’

The other Artifact Spirits were injured by this power, so they were now hiding in the mist. Now, with the appearance of the new Artifact Spirit, this Heavengod’s power was once again trying to cause trouble!

Bu Fang’s face turned a little livid. ‘This Heavengod is a little too… wicked,’ he thought.

One after another, streams of the Heavengod’s power shot out, turned into a huge invisible hand, and slapped toward the enormous figure that was gradually appearing. It wanted to slap the latter back into the mist.

Bu Fang was ready for the true-form of his divine sense to strike. However, he soon stopped and did not rush to make a move.

In the distance, the mist that enveloped the last Artifact Spirit gradually dispersed, revealing grim-looking scales. Finally, with a rumble, the mist was completely torn apart, and a huge head poked through it.

The head was fierce and vicious, constantly emitting a terrifying and hostile aura! That was a Qilin’s head!

The next moment, the Qilin opened his mouth and let out a loud roar! The terrifying roar directly shattered the approaching palm made of the Heavengod’s power!
