The fighter jet rumbled. A robe fell out of it, and then Chief Luo, Xiao Ai, and others jumped out of the jet. Although their bodies were not as strong as Immortals who could survive a fall of ten thousand meters, they could withstand a fall from this height.


The Roof of the World was cold, but Chief Luo’s special power was fire—whenever he used it, his head was ablaze. That was why he did not fear the chill. But Xiao Ai and the others had to wrap themselves in so many layers of military coats that they looked like b.a.l.l.s.


They came up to Bu Fang. Xiao Ai was still holding the video camera. She planned to record the scene of Bu Fang cooking the golden-winged roc… no, the scene of him cooking Garuda. At the thought of that, her hands shook. She did not know whether it was because of cold or excitement.


‘Garuda is the Great G.o.d of India! He is a supreme G.o.d! And yet, he is brutally beaten and captured by Senior as soon as he comes to Hua… Why do I find this exciting?’


When Xiao Ai and Chief Luo approached Bu Fang, he was preparing the Garuda wing for the grilling process. The silver divine flame was burning quietly. Its color was almost the same as the snow around it, which made it look very beautiful. As it burned, it gave off a scorching heat, expelling the chill in Xiao Ai and Chief Luo.


Bu Fang glanced at them and looked as if he was surprised by their courage. “Have a seat,” he said.


Xiao Ai and Chief Luo quickly sat down, a little nervous. Bu Fang had been elevated to a fearsome being in their minds. After all, he had killed many G.o.ds and Immortals with one slap and then turned Garuda into a food ingredient with just a few punches. They had never seen anyone so fierce.


“Senior… Are you really going to grill Garuda’s wing?” Xiao Ai asked and swallowed.


Bu Fang paused, turned, and glanced at her. He grimaced when he saw that she was filming him with a camera. “Of course… Don’t worry, Garuda has a very strong regenerative ability. We will have an endless supply of wings,” he said.


Xiao Ai did not know whether to cry or laugh. That was not what she was worried about. She was afraid that Bu Fang would offend the Great G.o.d Brahma of India. A truly terrible being, this G.o.d was considered supreme even among the Immortals of Hua. However, she saw no worry on Bu Fang’s face.


The camera’s recording indicator was blinking. Xiao Ai stopped talking and took off her heavy padded coat. With the divine flame burning before her, she did not feel cold anymore. As she filmed, she turned the camera to Nethery.


‘Is this the girl Senior has been looking for? She’s so beautiful!’ Xiao Ai exclaimed in her mind. She even felt a sense of inferiority rising from the depths of her heart. ‘How could she be so pretty? She’s more beautiful than the fairies in the Celestial Court!’


Nethery sat beside Bu Fang, hugging her fair legs. Her chin was rested on her knees, and her smooth long hair tumbled down and obscured half of her face. There was a hint of melancholy on the other half of her face, which looked fair and flawless. She was staring at the divine flame, and her black eyes reflected the dancing flame.


“Let’s take it as the wing of a roc…” Bu Fang’s voice rang out. He seemed in no mood to appreciate the beauty. At this moment, all his attention was focused on Garuda’s wing.


“This Garuda is considered a mixed-blood roc. His magic power is good, though.” While talking, Bu Fang skillfully plucked the golden plumage of the roc. He washed the naked wing with snow water, then found a branch and inserted it through the wing. After that, he moved closer to the campfire and began to grill it over the flame.


“Senior, can you tell us what we should pay attention to when grilling a roc wing?” Xiao Ai asked somewhat playfully.


Bu Fang gave her a sideways glance, but he did not reject her. “Grilling is all about controlling the heat. A roc wing is not much different from an ordinary chicken wing. At most, they are different in size,” he said.


In the System’s storage s.p.a.ce, Garuda was dumbfounded.


“You need to watch the fire, as well as the changes in the wing’s color. Of course, you cannot let it burn, as charred skin has a negative effect on the taste.” As Bu Fang talked, he controlled the divine flame’s temperature.


Before long, grease began to ooze out across the wing. It dripped slowly into the campfire, causing smoke to rise and the flame to burn brighter.


“How do you control the heat? I’ll tell you a secret technique of grilling wings, which is very useful. To determine if the temperature is right, you have to look at the changes in the meat. As for how to feel the changes, you can do this…”


Bu Fang reached out a hand, pinched his fingers on the part where the wing was grilled to the hottest, and removed a small piece of skin. Grease poured out of it, and a strong aroma spread.


“If your wing is grilled to this extent, it is almost done,” he said solemnly. After that, he stopped talking and began taking out many small bottles and jars. From these bottles, he sprinkled seasonings onto the wing.


Xiao Ai was dazzled by his skillful movements, and as she sniffed the aroma in the air, she was instantly intoxicated. It smelled too good. She had never smelled anything so delicious. For a moment, her appet.i.te was whetted.


“The roc is a divine beast, so its meat contains an immortal aura. Once heated and grilled, the aura will mix with the fragrance of meat, and the aroma it gives off will be very strong. Of course, this requires skills. Otherwise, the aroma will not be released, and the meat will taste bad,” Bu Fang said.


Xiao Ai kept nodding, while Chief Luo was stunned. ‘Why does Senior know so much about grilled wings? And… he sounded like an expert. There can only be one answer, that is… he had grilled divine beasts before, and he had done it many times! Senior never disappoints us… He is an expert foodie!’


“The next step is to coat the wing with honey…” Bu Fang said, then took out a jar of honey from the System’s storage s.p.a.ce. It was no ordinary honey, but honey produced by a kind of G.o.d-level bees. Golden in color, it emitted a sweet smell.


After taking off the lid, he dipped a brush in the honey and began to coat the golden brown roc wing with it. When the sticky, golden nectar was applied on the crispy skin, it seeped through the cracks, while the excess slowly flowed down the skin.


Xiao Ai’s mouth watered, while Foxy was jumping up and down impatiently, gasping. Nethery’s eyes lit up as she fixed them on the wing.


Bu Fang ended the coating of honey with a shake of the brush as if he was finis.h.i.+ng a painting with the ink-splas.h.i.+ng technique. The grilled wing emitted a hazy golden light, and wisps of hot steam rose from it, making it look like an exquisite artwork.


Bu Fang’s appet.i.te was whetted as well. After all, he had been working for a long time. “The honeyed roc wing is ready!” he said. He slightly emphasized the ‘roc wing’, and his voice sent a shudder through everyone.


The people around him took deep breaths and felt relief that the wing was finally ready. Their mouths were already flooded.


The roc wing was huge, and Bu Fang was not a stingy man. He cut some and gave them to Chief Luo and Xiao Ai. He only gave them some, for they could only eat so much with the condition of their bodies.


Garuda was not so strong, but he was, after all, one of the few top G.o.ds of India. His flesh contained powerful spiritual energy, and because it was cooked by Bu Fang, none of the energy was lost.


Bu Fang handed the grilled wing to Nethery, then he pulled two more wings from Garuda in the System’s storage s.p.a.ce. The fellow was immortal, and with his incredible regenerative ability, he would have new wings in no time. So, he grilled two more wings, one for Foxy and one for himself.


When he was done cooking, the whole peak of Mount Everest was filled with the strong aroma of grilled wings. Bu Fang even tried different ways of grilling by adding c.u.min and chili.


Xiao Ai ate with relish. Soon, her mouth began to spit spiritual energy, her eyes gleaming. Her strength skyrocketed. After finis.h.i.+ng the small piece of roc meat, she had become an A-cla.s.s superhuman. That made her very happy. ‘The food is delicious and can improve my strength… Is Senior a… G.o.d of Cooking?’


Chief Luo was surprised too when he found that he had become an S-cla.s.s superhuman. He did not know what to say. It seemed that the benefit brought to him by the recovery of spiritual energy was not as good as a grilled wing.


They both ate some roc meat and could not eat anymore—they could not digest so much energy. If they forced themselves to eat more, they would get themselves killed. So, they could only watch with envious eyes as Bu Fang, Nethery, and Foxy devoured the grilled wings.


Having a good appet.i.te was a blessing.


As she watched with envy, Xiao Ai uploaded the recordings to the Internet. The footage of Bu Fang grilling the roc wing needed to be shared with the world. She wanted to let more people feel the pain of being unable to eat something so delicious.


The signal on the peak of Mount Everest was weak, but Xiao Ai had the most advanced equipment, so she managed to upload the footage. As a computer expert, after the video was uploaded, she used some tricks to push it to the top. However, even if she did not do that, the video would have been pushed to the top by the Internet users.


That was because the footage was too… shocking. The first thing that appeared when the video was played was a group of G.o.ds and Immortals hovering over the peak of Mount Everest. The strange-looking beings immediately drew shocked cries. Then, the climax came when Bu Fang was fighting the old Lama and melting the snow around him. But that was not the end. What happened next further excited the viewers.


The appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings, the attacks from the female Immortals of Kunlun, and the scene where all the strange G.o.ds attacked at the same time took the Internet users’ breaths away. And when they saw all the G.o.ds and Immortals were killed by Bu Fang with just one slap, they were stunned, and their jaws dropped.


They were completely shocked! It was simply too… exciting! However, that was not the end of the footage.


As the video continued to play, Garuda, the Great G.o.d of India, appeared, but the big bird who everyone thought was an almighty expert was quickly captured as a food ingredient. The viewers did not know whether to cry or laugh. Then, when they saw Bu Fang begin to grill the roc wing, they were stunned.


The scene changed too fast, but they could not take their eyes away. Their faces were almost pressed on the screens, and they kept twitching their noses, sniffing. They thought they could smell the fragrance of the honeyed roc wing through the screens of their computers!


The footage ended when Xiao Ai had finished her roc meat, and the last image was a row of text: To be continued…


It left everyone dumbfounded, and the whole Internet seemed to be boiling. Was it a movie? Were those special effects? But they looked too real to be fake. Besides, now that Earth’s spiritual energy had returned, everyone knew that G.o.ds and Immortals were not fake.


“Dammit! This is f*cking awesome! Who is that fearsome guy? I can’t believe he killed the Four Heavenly Kings with just one slap!”


“I almost p.i.s.sed myself watching it! This is too exciting! For some reason, I felt extremely happy when those lofty G.o.ds and Immortals were killed with a slap!”


“What are you guys talking about? The most exciting part is the grilling of the roc wing! The highlight of the video is obviously the grilled wing… That Great G.o.d Garuda is such a poor thing…”


“Well, I’ve grilled myself a plate of chicken wings as per the Senior’s instruction in the video, and they tasted great!”


The Internet users discussed the video heatedly. Meanwhile, Xiao Ai held the computer and sat in a corner, reading the comments with a silly smile on her face. She had decided that from today on, she would follow Bu Fang’s heel and film him all the time!


Chief Luo glanced at her helplessly, then turned to Bu Fang, who just spat out the last bone. Bu Fang’s appearance had shocked and surprised him. He thought an existence such as this might be beneficial to the peace of the country.


“Well, now that we have finished eating, I need you to help me look for another person.” Bu Fang spat the bone out on the ground, which sank into the snow, still steaming.


“Please tell me whom you are looking for, Senior.”


“There should be an egg before this stove, and a man should have escaped from it. That person’s ident.i.ty and whereabouts shouldn’t be hard to find… Locate him for me, and I’ll treat you to the flesh of a spotted ermine next time,” Bu Fang said.


Like Garuda, the spotted ermine was struck dumb.


“There was an egg before the Divine Artifact, and a man had escaped from it?” Chief Luo narrowed his eyes. He knew this was a very important piece of information. “Rest a.s.sured, Senior. I’ll make the necessary arrangements now.” After that, he walked toward the fighter jet.


Bu Fang decided to grill himself another roc wing. However, just as he pulled out another wing, the voices of the Vermilion Bird and the Qilin rang out in his head. He paused, then his pupils constricted.
