The aura of destruction shook the heavens and earth! Hovering in midair, Foxy wagged her tails. All nine of them emitted dazzling golden light, and as they swept across the air, they shocked everyone!
A golden meatball plunged into the group of Soul Demons and exploded. Everything seemed to be wiped out in just a flash. A destructive fluctuation swept through the void, turning the thousands of Soul Demons who came to kill Foxy into nothing.
The energy was so terrifying that no Soul Demon could react in time. Even those who were as strong as Saints of the Great Path were blown into pieces by the Law of Destruction. Countless souls wandered in the sky—these were the Soul Demons’ true forms, similar to the souls of human experts.
In midair, Foxy held her head up proudly. Yes, she was Heavengod Destruction, and she had proven that to everyone. Bu Fang would give her all the Golden Soul Meatballs now, right?!
The people in front of the restaurant were petrified. Xiao Ai, standing at Nethery’s side, was so shocked that her eyeballs almost popped out. Was that the little fox she knew? The fox who only knew how to act cute actually possessed such horrifying destructive power?!
Even Houtu sucked in her breath with surprise. There were also nine-tailed demon foxes in the Primitive Universe. However, they were simply not on the same level as this little fox! With just a meatball, the little fox had wiped out thousands of Soul Demons. Such strength was almost comparable to that of some almighty experts of the Primitive Universe!
Both Lord Dog and Er Ha were somewhat speechless. It really was this little fox… Er Ha sucked his spicy strip noisily. Now, the handsome, wise, gallant Nether King Er Ha was really on the same level as the little fox…
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly. The fact that Foxy was Heavengod Destruction was out of his expectation, but he was not too surprised. After all, even Er Ha could be Heavengod Life. What else was impossible? He exhaled. At least, Heavengod Destruction had returned.
Heavengod Destruction was equivalent to a duke-level expert. Now, Bu Fang’s camp had the chance to turn the tides. Although they had only gained one additional duke-level expert, the difference was huge. After all, dukes were existences who stood at the peak of the universe, and each of them could turn the tide for even the greatest battle. They were incredible beings!
Envy Great Soul Overlord, fighting with Duchess Yunlan in the distance, suddenly had a bad feeling. He jerked his head around and happened to see how the little fox annihilated thousands of Soul Demons with just a spit. The corner of his mouth twitched as he was startled.
‘What happened? When did that little fox become so fearsome?!’
Duchess Yunlan saw that too. But unlike Envy Great Soul Overlord, who was scared out of his wits, she was very excited. It seemed that Nethery had another chance to turn the tide!
In front of the restaurant, Xiao Ai glared at Bu Fang. “Owner Bu, you said you were going to call for backup… But Foxy is not considered a backup! Where is the backup you’re talking about?”
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched, and he gave Xiao Ai a sideways glance. ‘Why is she so fussy? Such calculating girls will never get married… I also didn’t know Foxy is Heavengod Destruction…’
Nethery covered her mouth with a hand and smiled. It was rare to see Bu Fang suffer a setback.
“Your Excellency Nethery, Xiao Ai didn’t say anything wrong… Foxy is not a backup. She is always fighting with us!” Xiao Ai gnashed her teeth. She had taken this very seriously.
Nethery lightly shook her head, while Bu Fang rolled his eyes.
‘So she wants backup, huh?’ With a thought in his mind, Bu Fang’s consciousness went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland.
…
Bu Fang’s figure appeared between the vast sky and the boundless earth. The farmland was thriving now, populated by countless living beings of different species.
In the heart of the farmland, Niu Hansan lay snoring in a chair. He had nothing to research lately, and since Bu Fang did not come to him, he was quite free.
In the distance, Bu Fang’s apprentices were cultivating and exchanging their cooking experiences. Sitting in front of the wooden hut and talking were four of his apprentices: Xiao Xiaolong, Yu Fu, Yang Meiji, and Sorceress An Sheng.
Bu Fang was not a good teacher. He had left his apprentices behind and went traveling. In fact, he did not teach them much. However, the knowledge he left before leaving was enough for them to reach a very high level.
Niu Hansan was snoring in the distance. Bu Fang’s apprentices knew him very well now since they always came here to ask him for ingredients. After all, the ingredients in the farmland were all extraordinary.
Nowadays, these apprentices had already become the top experts of the Hidden Dragon Continent or the places where they lived. Even Xiao Xiaolong, who was the weakest, had reached the God Emperor level. As Bu Fang’s strength grew, his apprentices, who always came to enjoy rare and precious ingredients in the farmland, did not fall behind too much.
Suddenly, Niu Hansan flicked open his eyes and jumped up from the chair as if a dead man came back to life. His abrupt movement startled the apprentices.
“Owner Bu is here,” Niu Hansan said, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
The apprentices paused, then they were overjoyed. It had been a long time since they met Bu Fang.
Not far away from the wooden hut, Bu Fang, clad in his Vermilion Robe and with his hands behind him, slowly treaded over a patch of spirit grass toward them. Although many years had passed, his appearance did not change much, so the apprentices recognized him at a glance.
“Owner Bu!”
Bu Fang’s apprentices greeted him. There were only four of them. After all, the apprentices could not stay in the farmland at all times. They were really surprised to see him.
Bu Fang’s expression was calm as he walked. Before long, he came before the wooden hut. “It’s good that you all are here,” he said.
Niu Hansan rose to his feet, smiling. “Owner Bu, are we going to carry out some hybridization research again? You can count on me!” he said, his eyes gleaming.
Bu Fang gave him a meaningful look. However, he did not come here for that. He turned to the few apprentices and said, “Do you have some free time now?”
Xiao Xiaolong and the others nodded hurriedly. “I have too much free time… Owner Bu, I’ve already stood on the top of the Hidden Dragon Continent… It’s so lonely up there!” He shook his head.
With his current cultivation base, Xiao Xiaolong was indeed invincible in the Hidden Dragon Continent. Yu Fu’s innate talent was even better. After all, she used to be the Queen of the Serpentmen City. As for Yang Meiji and Sorceress An Sheng, their cultivation base had reached a very formidable level as well.
It was rare for Bu Fang to meet four apprentices from the Hidden Dragon Continent at the same time. The days he spent on the continent were some of the happiest memories he had.
“Good. Come with me. Let’s go and stir up some trouble…” Bu Fang said. “I’ll take this opportunity to examine your cooking skills.”
Xiao Xiaolong’s eyes lit up when he heard there would be an examination for his cooking skills. He still remembered the terror of being overwhelmed by Bu Fang. He had always lost to Yu Fu in cooking examinations and was punished by Bu Fang.
“Oh, I can’t wait for this! Owner Bu, my kitchen knife is already thirsty for some action…” There was a smudge of red on Xiao Xiaolong’s beautiful face.
“Good. Do you know how to cook dark cuisine?” Bu Fang asked.
Xiao Xiaolong was somewhat dumbstruck.
Ignoring the confused look on the faces of his four apprentices, Bu Fang brought them out of the farmland.
Niu Hansan followed, even though Bu Fang did not ask him. He had not left the farmland for a very long time, so he thought of taking this opportunity to have a look at the outside world. Carrying a large basket on his back, he followed happily behind Bu Fang as they left the farmland.
…
In front of the restaurant, Xiao Ai looked at Bu Fang with wide eyes, who appeared to be in a daze. ‘Does he think that by pretending to be in a daze, he can conceal the fact that he had not called for any backup?’ she thought to herself.
Suddenly, Bu Fang’s eyes turned. He glanced at Xiao Ai, who was craning her neck and staring at him. The next moment, he snapped his fingers. White dots of light emerged, and slowly, five figures appeared from them.
Xiao Ai stared with a blank face at the five people behind Bu Fang. ‘Four women and an… obscene cow? Wait… One of them seems like a man…’
Xiao Xiaolong’s heart was pounding as soon as the teleportation was completed. “Owner Bu… You want us to join the battle?! Hehe… I’m invincible with my current strength! I’m not boasting, Owner Bu. I can even fight in outer space!” he said triumphantly.
Meanwhile, Yu Fu, Yang Meiji, and Sorceress An Sheng were glancing around curiously. Nethery paused slightly when she saw them. They were all her acquaintances.
“Sister Nethery!” Xiao Xiaolong saw Nethery, and his eyes lit up.
Nethery nodded. She seemed to understand what Bu Fang was trying to do. They were all Bu Fang’s apprentices. Their cooking skill might not be as good as his, but they were considered the best chefs in the universe now. One Bu Fang could already deal with tens of thousands of Soul Demons, and with so many chefs now…
“Owner Bu… Your backup is so weak. I can beat ten opponents like them with just one hand.”
Xiao Ai could not help but frown as she looked at Xiao Xiaolong and the other apprentices. She was a peak God Emperor, but she was nothing in this battle. So what could these people, who were weaker than her, contribute?
Among them, the cow was the strongest, but even he was just a peak God Emperor, while the rest were only as strong as the average God Emperor. Any Soul Demon with the strength of a Saint of the Great Path would be able to kill them all.
Bu Fang glanced at Xiao Ai. ‘This little girl really doesn’t know the terror of chefs…’ he thought to himself. To her, he said, “They are apprentices at my restaurants. Don’t worry, their strength is enough to deal with the Soul Demons.”
Xiao Ai paused. ‘They are his apprentices?’
Bu Fang lifted his hand. A humming sound rang out as a liquid drop emerged in his palm. They were his divine power, just like the God of Cooking’s divine power he had obtained in the past. With a flick of his finger, the liquid drop split into four and flew into the hands of his four apprentices.
Xiao Xiaolong held the liquid drop in his hand with a dumb look on his face. ‘What is this place?’ The enormous city that exuded a terrifying and oppressive aura, the starry sky in the distance that stretched as far as his eye could see, and the pressure permeated the air… Everything here made him shiver.
And the black monsters that gathered in the distance… Every one of them could easily crush him! Dammit! He was the mighty God Emperor of the Hidden Dragon Continent! Why did he become a weakling here?! When had the world become such a horrible place?
However, he felt that he was at ease as he held Bu Fang’s liquid drop. It was as if he had found a safe harbor to dock his ship in unknown waters.
“Alright, it’s time to examine your cooking skills… You know how to cook dark cuisine, don’t you? Something like this,” Bu Fang said, his hands beginning to move. He was extremely fast. In just a flash, he had completed a Stargazy Pie. A pungent stench wafted out of it instantly.
The faces of Xiao Xiaolong, Yu Fu, and the others darkened, and they covered their mouths and noses with their hands. Some of them almost threw up.
“Dark cuisine? Owner Bu actually asked us to cook dark cuisine? This thing is really… interesting!” The apprentices could not help but marvel at the Stargazy Pie. “Owner Bu is truly amazing… Although this is a dark dish, he can still fill it with so much spirituality!”
“Yes! I know how to make dark cuisine!” Xiao Xiaolong’s eyes shone brilliantly as he patted his chest.
As Bu Fang’s apprentices, how could they not know how to make dark cuisine? They could cook a dark dish as easily as flipping their hands, and they could make it as dark as possible…
“Very good. Now, use your imagination and… let these Soul Demons feel despair!” Bu Fang said. “Add my divine power into your dark dishes while cooking… By doing so, your dark dishes will transform into powerful weapons. Go now and prepare. Those Soul Demons in the distance are waiting for you.”
Xiao Xiaolong and the other apprentices nodded. After that, they took out their own kitchen utensils and began cooking. At their levels, they had already crafted their own utensils with the top resources found in the Hidden Dragon Continent. They did that so they could keep up with Bu Fang’s pace.
Niu Hansan’s eyes flicked from side to side. He wanted to do something as well. The dishes he cooked might not taste as good as that of Bu Fang and his apprentices, but when it came to dark cuisine… He raised his brow and smiled obscenely.
In front of the restaurant, the four apprentices stood in an orderly row. Spatulas flew, black woks sizzled, and stoves rumbled as they began cooking at the same time!
Lord Dog and the others watched with great interest. At the same time, they felt sorry for the Soul Demons in the distance. A chef had already plunged them into misery, and with four chefs… They could only imagine the massive destruction that was about to happen.
