In the silence of a palace, a projection array showed the challenge in front of the restaurant. The scenes of the participants fleeing were vividly presented, and the horrified expressions of the onlookers were clearly visible.

“Dark cuisine…”

Soul watched with a calm face. In her hand, she held a black orb in which the cold power of sin flowed. She smiled coldly at Bu Fang’s little trick. She did not care about his purpose in doing that.

Her goal was to ascend to the throne of Void City. No matter what the chef did, he could not stop her. Could a mere chef help Nethery defeat her? It was impossible. Not even a duke could do that, let alone a chef who was unpopular in Void City.

She turned off the projection array, sat down with her legs crossed, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate. She had to prepare for the upcoming major event.

There was too much at stake in the battle for the throne in Void City. The war between the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe was locked in a stalemate, and Void City had the power to change this cosmic war.

As long as she sat on the throne, the city would become the side that favored the Soul Demon Universe. Once that happens, the balance of victory would be tipped completely toward the Soul Demon Universe.

There were a lot of people following the challenge, but not many of them were actually paying attention. Countess Xia Qiu, for example, watched it for a while and then ignored it. Although she did not know what Bu Fang’s intention was, the restaurant was not her focus right now.

The competition between the Cursed Goddesses had become increasingly fierce, so it was time for her to choose her side. Instead of Soul, she chose Houtu. She hated Soul Demons, so she hated Soul, who had grown up among Soul Demons. The latter always frightened her.

As the competition became more and more intense, an invisible terror gradually enveloped her mind. She knew that it might not be long before Void City’s tranquility was broken.

Both Cursed Goddesses were trying and testing the Queen of Curses’ bottom line. Once it was clearly determined, they would reveal all kinds of hideous tactics. Perhaps by then, the experts of the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe would show up in Void City and engage each other in a major battle.

Viscount Ash was panting violently. Her chest heaved, and her dress was wet with sweat, which made her look even more attractive.

Many people clenched their fists. Although it was only a challenge, the nobles were all deeply fascinated. They could not wait to know the final result, their emotions rising and falling with Viscount Ash’s panting. Would she succeed? As they watched her slowly move the spoon closer to her mouth, everyone’s jaw dropped open.

Viscount Ash swallowed the curry rice. She felt as if her whole body were burning. The more she ate the dish, the spicier it got, and now she felt like she was swallowing pieces of burning coals. Even her breath was emitting a searing heat.

Gulp.

She took a sip of ice water. A cold sensation spread throughout her body, dousing the flames inside her and giving her the courage to continue eating.

Bu Fang was amazed. The woman was stronger than he had expected. He knew this dish could help a person break through, but he did not expect anyone would actually be able to finish it.

As Viscount Ash stuffed the last spoonful of curry rice into her mouth, the onlookers went into a frenzy and the whole District A was brought to a boil. The clamor rose to the sky and seemed to bring down the roofs of all the buildings in the city.

“Ash! Ash!”

The nobles clenched their fists, shouting and cheering. They felt that Viscount Ash had helped them win back their honor.

Bu Fang nodded. ‘This woman is indeed worthy of respect,’ he thought to himself. ‘Anyone who dares to challenge Eighteen Hell Curry Rice is a warrior, and it’s even more remarkable that she’s able to finish it.’

Master Zhen Yong opened his eyes and gave Viscount Ash a complicated look.

Viscount Ash finally succeeded in completing the challenge. She poured the ice water into her mouth like someone who had not drunk any water for days. She needed to cool down. It was only after several gulps that she managed to suppress the heat in her.

At this moment, she looked as if she had just been pulled out of a pool. The sweat-soaked clothes clung to her skin, revealing the curves of her body.

“Owner Bu, I made it, didn’t I?” Viscount Ash asked, her bright eyes fixed on Bu Fang.

Bu Fang nodded. “Congratulations. This concludes today’s challenge. Come with me to collect your reward.”

The crowd froze. There was really a reward?! Would it be Chaotic Energy? Was the chef serious about it?

Viscount Ash’s eyes grew brighter. She had made a breakthrough during the challenge, but she was still a long way from producing her Chaotic Energy. As long as she had Chaotic Energy, she would find a way into the realm of Chaotic Saints!

Although there were many Saints of the Great Path and Chaotic Saints in Void City, they were all elites and geniuses from other universes, and they were all here to seek an opportunity to break through.

Master Zhen Yong narrowed his eyes. He, too, was curious if Bu Fang could really come up with Chaotic Energy.

Bu Fang put away the table and chairs. Today’s challenge was over, but he would still hold it tomorrow.

“Owner Bu, will there be another challenge tomorrow?” someone asked.

Bu Fang nodded and did not say anything. He did not even reveal the name of tomorrow’s dark cuisine.

The challenge was over, but the onlookers did not leave. Instead, more people gathered in front of the restaurant door.

Bu Fang took Viscount Ash into the restaurant. The latter sat down in a chair and looked around curiously. At the thought that she was about to get Chaotic Energy, she felt a little excited. If the reward was real, what she had been through just now would be worth it.

“Wait here for a moment…” After saying that, Bu Fang turned and went into the kitchen.

Viscount Ash looked around. Suddenly, she saw Nethery and the noblewoman. She hurriedly stood up. “Greetings, Your Excellency Nethery, Your Excellency Yunlan!” She had not spotted the two big shots earlier.

“Well done. You’ve slightly suppressed that little chef’s arrogance and did not disgrace Void City,” Duchess Yunlan said, narrowing her eyes and smiling.

Viscount Ash nodded excitedly.

The sizzling sounds of cooking rang out from the kitchen. Bu Fang, of course, did not have Chaotic Energy, but with the level of his skills, the dishes he cooked were able to make others produce their own Chaotic Energy.

He cooked a bowl of noodles this time. The soup was black, with countless tiny stars swirling in it. Slim noodles swam in the broth like dragons soaring in the starry sky.

“The Starry Dragon Noodles are… ready to serve.”

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. With a shake of his hand, the noodles writhing in the bowl calmed down. It was an ordinary-looking bowl of noodles without any peculiarities. He placed the bowl by the window and asked Xiao Ai to take it to Viscount Ash.

Xiao Ai carried the bowl gingerly, fearing that she might spill the broth. A few moments later, she came to Viscount Ash’s table.

“This is Starry Dragon Noodles. Owner Bu said it is your reward.”

Viscount Ash looked at the noodles in the bowl. “This is the reward? Does this give me Chaotic Energy?” She frowned deeply. ‘Why is the broth black? It’s not another dark cuisine, is it?’ she thought to herself.

If truth be told, she had developed a phobia of food. She always unconsciously felt that all food was dark cuisine, either extremely smelly or extremely spicy.

Ting-a-ling!

Bu Fang lifted the curtain and stepped out of the kitchen, wiping his wet hands with a white cloth.

“Try it. This is your reward,” he said lightly.

“Owner Bu, if I don’t produce Chaotic Energy after eating this bowl of noodles, how are you going to compensate me?” Viscount Ash squinted. There was a hint of fury in her voice. She did not believe that a bowl of noodles could give her Chaotic Energy.

The nobles, who were watching from outside, were shocked.

“A bowl of noodles can give Viscount Ash Chaotic Energy? This chef is just bluffing, is he not?”

Upon seeing this, Master Zhen Yong was glad that he had not chosen to finish the curry rice. How could a bowl of noodles give a person Chaotic Energy? He would not believe it for the life of him.

As a top alchemist, he knew how hard it was to get Chaotic Energy. If what Bu Fang brought out was some kind of divine herb, then he might believe it. But a bowl of noodles?

The scene was broadcast through the projection array all over Void City. Almost everyone was laughing.

Viscount Ash’s face turned a little ugly. She felt these people were laughing at her.

“Just eat it. How else would you know if it couldn’t let you produce Chaotic Energy? If this bowl of noodles doesn’t give you Chaotic Energy, I’ll never open this restaurant again, and I’ll smash the restaurant sign myself.”

Bu Fang was very calm. When he said that, his voice sounded as normal as if he was eating and drinking. His calmness came from his confidence in his strength.

“Fine!”

Viscount Ash sat down. She wanted to see what this bowl of noodles had to offer. She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and gently picked up some noodles. For a moment, she thought she heard a dragon roar, and then a rich aroma swept over her face, making her eyes light up.

She was actually reluctant to taste the food because it betrayed the Queen of Curses’ faith. But to get the Chaotic Energy, she had to give it a try.

She brought the noodles to her mouth. Surprisingly, they were cold but very slippery. She just sucked gently, they went right into her mouth. Her mouth could not taste anything after eating the curry rice, but it began to recover under the cold taste.

She felt very comfortable as if a pair of young girl’s hands were gently rubbing her shoulders. She closed her eyes in ecstasy, her curly hair fluttering.

As the noodles entered her stomach, they seemed to have transformed into dragons and were swimming inside her. For a moment, she felt as if she were riding on the back of a dragon, soaring through the immense starry sky. The stars flew by her at a rapid pace, and the soothing breeze that greeted her made her heart, which had been burned by the spicy curry, become much calmer.

It was so comfortable, so pleasant! Viscount Ash was so deeply absorbed in the feeling that she simply could not help herself.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She found that the bowl in front of her was empty, and she was licking it with her tongue. This shameful behavior stiffened her.

‘What am I doing? How could I possibly commit such a shameful act?!’

Viscount Ash quickly drew back her tongue, her face flushing. Without realizing it, she had finished the bowl of noodles. The feeling of enjoying a delicious dish deeply intoxicated her. How she wished this was a dream that never ends.

Suddenly, Viscount Ash’s eyes widened, and she opened her mouth and let out a cry of surprise. At this moment, an invisible aura seemed to fall from the depths of the universe and wrapped itself around her!

The nobles who were watching her from outside the restaurant were stunned. They saw her eating the bowl of noodles with relish, as if completely intoxicated and unable to stop herself. Many people felt a little hungry as they watched her eat, but more people looked at her angrily.

“This is heresy! A food-eating heretic!”

“I can accept dark cuisine, but food is… heresy!”

However, before they could shout and denounce her, a powerful aura erupted from within her body. A wisp of Chaotic Energy was born, wrapped her body, rumbling and shattering the void.

The commoners and nobles froze, and Master Zhen Yong, who was waiting to see Bu Fang make a fool of himself, was dumbfounded!
