Chapter 1282 Sour Soup Beef, the Stone Statue Ghost Kings Are Broken Again

Cooked with a unique cooking method using excellent demon beef and accompanied by Bu Fang’s secret yellow chili sauce, the dish would definitely be delicious.

Even Bu Fang couldn’t help swallowing during the cooking process. The potent spicy taste of the yellow chili sauce and the faint sour taste had stimulated his taste buds, making him drool uncontrollably.

He put the thin slices of beef into the wok. The boiling soup immediately devoured them. He then took out the Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine and poured some into the soup. As the wine entered the wok, a strong fragrance immediately filled the air, making the soup taste more mellow.

After adding the beef, he began to simmer the soup. Before long, a lot of foam began to appear on the surface. He carefully removed them and let the soup continue simmering for a while. Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out and hit him in the nose, while the rising steam seemed to turn into a mooing demon cow.

Bu Fang took out a blue-and-white porcelain spoon and scooped up some soup, which took on a yellow sheen because of the yellow chili sauce. He gently blew away the steam, then took a sip. A faint sour taste immediately spread across his tongue, causing his brows to rise.

“Sure enough, the sour taste of the chili sauce alone is not enough…” Bu Fang frowned.

He then took out a jar and added a few drops of brown fruit vinegar into the wok. It was a vinegar made by him as well, which tasted extremely sour. After being added into the boiling soup, it disappeared instantly.

Bu Fang took a sniff, and a look of satisfaction came over his face. He scooped up another spoonful of the soup, blew away the steam, and slurped it. A sour taste that made him s.h.i.+ver immediately spread on his tongue. After s.h.i.+vering, he felt a sense of comfort that made his mouth water. The feeling brightened his eyes.

“Perfect,” Bu Fang said in a low voice.

After that, he put out the fire. The boiling soup in the wok gradually quieted down. He took out a huge blue-and-white porcelain bowl and poured the dish into it. A strong aroma immediately pervaded the air. Then, he placed the blanched Enoki mushrooms on top of the dish and arranged them in a beautiful pattern.

Slices of beef floated on the surface of the soup, looking soft, tender, and delicate, while wisps of hot steam were constantly rising from them. Because of the color of the soup, they took on a yellow sheen and looked very delicious. The mushrooms arranged over them added to the aesthetic of the dish and made it more attractive.

Rumble!

A thundercloud began to gather in the sky. Soon, thunderbolts were falling. Just like last time, Bu Fang used his physical body to resist and block all the lightning punishments.

…

In the valley…

The Yellow Spring Great Sage was lying in bed, rubbing his swollen face. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. The thunderbolts there caught his attention.

“Which ignorant spirit beast is facing its lightning punishment in my territory? Ah, never mind… I’m not in the right shape to be seen by outsiders now. I’ll spare that little fellow this time…” he said in a depressed voice. “The fellow in the bronze palace is really too much. Doesn’t he or she know that you can’t hit someone in the face?”

He let out a deep sigh, then took out a Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Gra.s.s and toyed it in his hands.

…

As the leaves rustled, Nether Prison experts landed one after another. They all looked at the thundercloud slowly dispersing in the sky with solemn expressions.

“Someone has just transcended a lightning punishment?” Zhang Xuan said.

“It’s no big deal. It’s just a lightning punishment for ordinary dishes. However, the dish seems quite unusual since it had attracted eight lightning punishments…” said Lu Yang from the Nether Chef Clan. He was naturally very familiar with this kind of lightning punishment. As a gifted Nether Chef, cooking was his best skill. Even so, he still couldn’t cook a dish that could attract eight lightning punishments.

“What’s that… It smells so delicious!” The expert from the Horned Demon Clan twitched his nose. He suddenly got a whiff of the strong aroma, making his expression change and his mouth water.

“Could it be that the chef from the Immortal Cooking Realm is cooking?”

The Nether Prison experts looked at each other, seeing the incomprehension in each other’s eyes.

“Why would he cook in a place like this? Did he think he was safe when he got the jade plate, so he decided to cook to celebrate?”

“Let’s go and see what that boy is up to!” Zhang Xuan said coldly.

After that, the group of experts sped away.

…

Foxy opened her mouth again and drooled as she stared at the Sour Soup Beef, causing the jade plate to fall to her paws. She gave an impatient cry.

“Alright… Be patient.” Looking at the impatient little fox, Bu Fang couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth and rub her head.

He took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a slice of beef, blew on it, and then gave it to Foxy. The little fox opened her mouth, swallowed the beef, and began to chew happily.

As soon as the beef entered her mouth, Foxy’s eyes narrowed. All her fur stood up, and her body was shaking. It was obvious that she had been overwhelmed by the sour taste of the Sour Soup Beef.

When Bu Fang saw Foxy’s reaction, he twitched the corner of his mouth. ‘This little fellow…’ He even saw tears seeping from the corner of her eyes. ‘So, the sour taste made her tear up?’ He rubbed the little fox’s head.

Despite the sour taste, Foxy kept chewing and finally swallowed the beef. As she swallowed, she sensed the feeling when the tender beef slid down her throat into her stomach, and it made her feel that her whole body had become transparent!

“That’s enough… I’m just giving you a taste. I’ll cook it for you next time. This Sour Soup Beef has a different purpose today.” Bu Fang rubbed Foxy’s head and ignored her pathetic look of wanting another piece of beef.

Of course, Bu Fang couldn’t resist the temptation, so he picked up a slice of beef and put it into his mouth. The sour taste immediately spread on his tongue, making him s.h.i.+ver all over. There were even tiny beads of sweat on his nose. All in all, the feeling was extremely pleasant.

“Foxy, throw the jade plate between those two big fellows…” Bu Fang said, looking at the little fox.

Foxy’s big eyes lit up. She gave a squeak, threw the jade plate up, and slammed her tail on it. The plate immediately flashed across the air in a graceful curve and fell between the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings.

The arrival of an unknown object startled the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings. They kept staring at the jade plate as if they were wondering what it was. One of them even raised its foot and stepped on it, causing the ground to shake with a rumble.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. Fortunately, the jade plate was made of special materials, so strong that it was not crushed by the Stone Statue Ghost King’s foot. The next moment, his mental force began to surge, and his divine will spread from his spirit sea. Under the control of his mental force, the bowl of Sour Soup Beef in his hand slowly drifted toward the middle of the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings.

Foxy squeaked, her eyes filled with tears and an unwilling look as she watched the blue-and-white porcelain bowl gradually fly away.

Soon, the Sour Soup Beef landed steadily in the middle of the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings. They glanced at each other. The next moment, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The taste and the feeling were so familiar to them! They had a deep memory of this feeling!

They squatted in front of the blue-and-white porcelain bowl and looked at each other. Then, both of them reached out their stone fingers, picked up a piece of beef, and put the meat into their mouth. A sour and spicy taste instantly burst out, making their eyes light up.

It tasted like that Marble Wok Fish… But it was different! It seemed even more delicious!

The two Stone Statue Ghost Kings stared at each other with the look in their eyes growing sharper.

One for me, one for you. One for me, one more for you… They shared the Sour Soup Beef and ate happily.

Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he watched from a distance. As he had expected, even though their bodies were rebuilt, their nature as foodies would not change. They were eating happily now, but who knew if they would still be so happy later.

He picked up Foxy and put her on his shoulder. Then, true energy gushed from under his feet, pus.h.i.+ng him forward at full speed. His body turned into a beam of light and left a trail of afterimages in the air. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the area the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings were guarding and entered the valley.

Although it was an old trick, it still worked.

The two Stone Statue Ghost Kings were eating happily, so they didn’t notice that someone had entered the valley.

A little while later, a rustling sound came from the distant woods. The next moment, the Nether Prison experts emerged from it.

“Oh?” Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the jade plate not far away from the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings. It was the jade plate they were looking for.

“Found it! There’s the jade plate!” a Nether Prison expert shouted excitedly.

They all chose to ignore the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings.

“Get it!” Zhang Xuan shouted, then turned into a beam of light and sped out, landing next to the Stone Statue Ghost Kings in a flash. He grabbed the jade plate, on which was carved the number nine. It was a jade plate that ranked quite low. He frowned and sighed. He thought it was the jade plate with number one.

“Hmm?” Zhang Xuan’s heart suddenly gave a jerk. He raised his head abruptly and looked into the distance. A thin figure stood there, and on its shoulder lay a listless little fox.

“It’s you!” His pupils constricted as a monstrous killing intent exploded out of his body.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Bu Fang looked at Zhang Xuan in the distance. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed to the Sword Demon Clan expert’s side.

That gave Zhang Xuan a pause. The next moment, he heard the screams of Nether Prison experts behind him and a whirring sound, while he felt a powerful wind blowing at him. He spun abruptly, only to see a huge stone fist growing larger and larger in his eyes.

With a bang, the fist hit him on the bridge of his nose.

Zhang Xuan was struck dumb. For a moment, he thought he heard a crack. A mixed feeling welled up in his heart, and his eyes turned red and blurry. There even seemed to be teardrops rolling down his cheeks.

With a plop, he fell to the ground, his face facing the sky. The jade plate in his hand also dropped to the ground.

“I was… f*cking… set up?!” Zhang Xuan muttered to himself.

Roar!

A hoa.r.s.e roar rang out. The two Stone Statue Ghost Kings stood up at the same time and began to roar at each other. Without a doubt, the problem of uneven sharing had arisen again. They were arguing about who ate an extra piece of beef.

In the distance, the Nether Prison experts were dumbfounded. What was going on here? Why were these two Stone Statue Ghost Kings suddenly roaring at each other?

“These two wicked creatures!” Zhang Xuan flew into a rage. He got up with his heavy sword in one hand while the other covered his nose. When he saw that Bu Fang had long since disappeared, he became even angrier. “Does that boy think these two Stone Statue Ghost Kings could stop me?! How naive! Watch how I cut them in half!”

With a boom, a horrible sword will burst out of Zhang Xuan’s body. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a sword!

“Die now, wicked creatures!”

“ROAR!”

However, before Zhang Xuan could wield his sword, the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings turned their heads and growled at him. It seemed his sword will was being suppressed, and then he saw two fists growing larger and larger in his eyes!

Bang! Bang!

Zhang Xuan’s nose was. .h.i.t again. The punches knocked him flying backward, and fell in the distance and rolled several times on the ground.

The Nether Prison experts were stupefied. In their eyes, the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings began to fight each other. Their deafening roars rang incessantly while terrible energy fluctuations swept across all directions. The ground seemed to be blowing apart.

If Bu Fang were still here, he would have found that the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings had become stronger.

Soon after, the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings smashed each other at the same time, turning into rubble that rolled all over the ground.

The Nether Prison experts in the distance were rendered speechless. Looking at the bowl of Sour Soup Beef on the ground, and then at the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings that had been smashed into pieces, they felt their minds were in a mess.

Zhang Xuan struggled to his feet, his face covered with blood. When he saw the Stone Statue Ghost Kings that had been broken and scattered all over the ground, he immediately burst out laughing. Then, he walked up to the rubble and kicked them fiercely as if to vent his anger.

“F*cking wicked creatures!”

…

In the valley…

The Yellow Spring Great Sage suddenly stopped rubbing his face. Then, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

“The two idiots f*cking broke again?”

He was furious. He didn’t understand why he had such stupid guardians!

The void was torn apart. Holding the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Gra.s.s in his hand, the Yellow Spring Great Sage stepped into the void and came to the entrance of the valley in an instant.

As soon as he emerged, he saw Zhang Xuan angrily stomping on the broken Stone Statue Ghost Kings in the distance.

The atmosphere turned completely quiet at this moment.
