Chapter 1292 How Much Is Your… Virginity?

However, Lu Yu copied that top genius of the Nether Puppeteer Clan, so he carried his puppet on his back. The reason they gave to explain the behavior was to promote the spiritual connection between them and their puppet, and ultimately improve their control over it. In fact, they did so to show off.

For Nether Puppeteers, this was very cool, but in the eyes of experts from other clans, it was no different from exposing one’s virginity.

Of course, under normal circ.u.mstances, no one would be foolish enough to touch their puppets. After all, only fools would do such a thing that would offend a genius.

However, Bu Fang didn’t know that.

When many people saw Bu Fang’s palm clapping on the puppet, they were petrified, and their eyes were filled with horror. And when they heard him utter those words, their horror was magnified.

“You have a good puppet… How do you sell it? How much is a kilo?”

They couldn’t believe that the little chef would ask such a question. Did he regard puppets as vegetables in the market?

Many Nether Prison geniuses felt storms rising in their hearts, and they looked at Bu Fang as if they were looking at a freak, admiring him for his boldness.

His question was like asking Lu Yu, “Your virginity is good. How much is a kilo?”

Therefore, the atmosphere became very awkward and weird.

Lu Yu’s eyes turned dark instantly, and his eyes grew icy cold. “Let go of your dirty hand…” he said coldly, his voice sharp as a knife.

The crowd took a deep breath.

“Lu Yu is angry! This boy’s finished…”

Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged, however. Looking at Lu Yu, he said, “I mean it. This is really a good puppet. How much is a kilo? Also… I heard that your puppets all have hearts. How much do they sell? I can pay you more… I have no shortage of… money.” His voice was sincere, and his eyes were sparkling.

“This guy also wants a Sacred Nether Puppet’s heart?! Is he crazy? Isn’t he afraid of being hunted down by the Nether Puppeteer Clan?!”

“Let go of your hand…” Lu Yu said, his face as cold as iron.

However, Bu Fang didn’t seem to hear him. He patted the puppet again and said seriously, “It’s really good… I actually also have a puppet buddy, but he’s a little weak now. I’ll introduce you some other time.”

‘Why the f*ck are you still patting my puppet?!’ Lu Yu’s eyes were almost on fire. He felt as if Bu Fang’s hand were slapping on his virginity, making his heart tremble.

He scoffed at the puppet mentioned by Bu Fang. How could there be a puppet in this world that could match the puppets of the Nether Puppeteer Clan?

Seeing Lu Yu’s dark face, Lu Cheng hurried over to warn him. “Calm down… The projection array is broadcasting, so everyone is watching this. If you kill them here, people will have an excuse to give Nether Prison trouble. It would put us in a disadvantageous position.”

Lu Yu frowned slightly and choked back his anger. Lu Cheng was right, so he could only control himself and suppress his indignation. He gave a stiff smile, raised his hand, and forcibly pulled Bu Fang’s hand off his puppet. Gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, he said, “I’ll… see you all… in the evening.” After that, he left quickly with his men. He was afraid that if he stayed, he would go mad with anger and kill Bu Fang.

The Nether Prison experts also left.

Bu Fang withdrew his hand with a regretful look on his face. “It’s really a pity… I really want to buy his puppet,” he said, smacking his lips.

Everyone who saw this through the light screen couldn’t help smiling.

“This little chef can really drive one crazy! To Nether Puppeteers, Sacred Nether Puppets are their virginity. However, he not only slapped Lu Yu’s virginity but also asked him how much it is! Does he think he’s buying vegetables? He’s lucky that Lu Yu has good self-restraint and didn’t kill him on the spot!”

The Nether Prison geniuses followed Lu Yu and left, leaving only one of his men behind, who was looking at Bu Fang and the others disdainfully. The people in Nether Prison all had pride, both the geniuses and their underlings.

The man took Bu Fang and the others to an inn, which was specially prepared for them by the organizers. Its environment was excellent, with mountains and rivers, and its design was elegant and gorgeous. In a major city where land was extremely expensive, it was not bad to have an inn ready for the contestants.

Bu Fang returned to his room and began to think. The Sacred Puppet City was very prosperous, perhaps the most prosperous city he had ever come across. When a city was prosperous, it usually meant that its people had strong purchasing power. If he could open a branch here, it would certainly be very beneficial. However, it was not urgent. He thought he should get a Sacred Nether Puppet’s heart and repair Whitey first.

Nevertheless, the idea of opening a branch in this city took root in his mind. If he could do this, his turnover would definitely skyrocket. By then, his cultivation base would also reach a rapid level of growth.

Bu Fang sat in the room, thinking.

Time went by quickly. Soon, the sun was setting. A sharp knock on the door interrupted Bu Fang’s thoughts. When he opened the door, he saw Zhu Yan and the others standing outside.

It was time to go to the reception.

Bu Fang actually refused to go to the reception at first. However, it then occurred to him that there would be a lot of food, and that he could go and have a look and enjoy Nether Prison food. Also, he could take the opportunity to observe the Sacred Nether Puppet. If he could buy the puppet’s heart with money, it would be very convenient.

And so, under the expectant eyes of Zhu Yan and the others, he nodded, closed the door, and followed them out of the inn.

Although the jade talisman was an invitation, it also indicated the location of the restaurant. The city was ma.s.sive. Bu Fang and his companions walked for some time before they finally found the restaurant. By then, it was quite dark, but the streets were brightly lit and looked quite prosperous.

“So this is the restaurant where the reception is being held? It’s huge…”

Zhu Yan and the others were shocked. Looking at the restaurant, they gasped.

“It’s indeed magnificent, but that’s just the surface. The most important thing for a restaurant is that its dishes must be delicious. It’s no use having luxurious decorations if the dishes are not delicious.”

“We are immortal chefs from the Immortal Cooking Realm, so it won’t be easy for their dishes to gain our approval.”

Mo Yan and the others talked to each other. On the other hand, Bu Fang didn’t say anything. He just put his hands behind his back and walked slowly.

The entrance of the restaurant was very s.p.a.cious. It was made of large blue jade, which gave it a touch of magnificence. It was guarded by half-step Saints, and all the people who frequented this place were celebrities in the city.

When Bu Fang and his companions handed over their jade talismans, they stepped into the restaurant. Once inside, their feet stepped on a carpet made of the fur of some formidable savage monster, which led to the base of a spiral stair. Many chandeliers hung from the ceiling, s.h.i.+ning with colorful light.

After walking up the spiral stair, they came to a grand hall. There was soft music playing in the air, which made people feel relaxed.

There were already many people in the hall. Celebrities were walking and talking. In the center of the hall were many round tables covered with red cloth.

As soon as Bu Fang and his companions stepped into the hall, they heard someone calling them. It was Fa Wu. He was sitting at a table, and when he saw Bu Fang, he shouted at once. Bu Fang walked over with Zhu Yan and the others.

“Owner Bu, you are here at last. Do you feel it?” Fa Wu whispered, pulling Bu Fang beside him.

“Feel what?” Bu Fang paused momentarily.

“The atmosphere… Don’t you think the atmosphere here is very strange? Just look at the eyes of the people around you. Everyone is hostile. The reception is not just being held to welcome us… I’ve already felt a whiff of malice,” Fa Wu sighed. “Nether Prison deserves to be an overlord-cla.s.s small world. With so many formidable experts, it is so powerful. I dare not to be arrogant here,” he said, touching his bald head.

Bu Fang said nothing and only nodded. That was because he had turned his head and fixed his eyes on Lu Yu in the distance.

Lu Yu seemed to feel something. He turned his head around and saw Bu Fang. As their eyes met in midair, the look in Lu Yu’s eyes became sharp and murderous. He wished he could kill this guy who touched his virginity immediately!

Soon, the reception started. The rhythm of the music in the hall became faster and faster. The Immortal Cooking Realm and the West Little Buddhism Realm experts sat at the same table, surrounded by Nether Prison experts. As for the Earth Prison experts, they shared a table with the Nether Prison experts. They looked timid and afraid to even speak.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar, and the lights began to flash. Then, a figure could be seen slowly descending from the spiral stair in the distance.

“It’s Lu Ban! He’s the worthy genius from the Nether Puppeteer Clan and one of the three Kings of the younger generation!”

Some people saw the figure, and they all erupted into an uproar. The Nether Prison experts looked at him with great enthusiasm and awe. Even Lu Yu’s eyes were full of excitement.

He was a young man with black hair and black eyes. The look in his eyes was cold, and he carried a puppet behind him. His style looked somewhat similar to that of Lu Yu.

As soon as the young man appeared, he fixed his eyes on Bu Fang’s table. His gaze went straight through the crowd and fell on Bu Fang.

“I’m very interested in the Senseless Lotus…” the young man said in a soft voice.

As his voice echoed through the hall, the crowd fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were on Bu Fang. Lu Ban, one of the three Kings of the younger generation, had spoken up.

Looking at Bu Fang, who was still sitting in his seat, a Nether Prison expert immediately shouted, “What are you waiting for? Hand over the Senseless Lotus! Lord Lu Ban has already spoken!”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lu Yu’s pupils constricted. “Since my Brother Ban is interested in the Senseless Lotus, you better hand it over…” he said lightly.

In just a flash, the atmosphere in the hall had become extremely tense.

With so many horrible auras targeting them, all the people at Bu Fang’s table felt it difficult to breathe.

The reception wasn’t transmitted through the projection array, so the Nether Prison geniuses seemed to be a little unscrupulous.

Lu Ban looked at Bu Fang indifferently. He didn’t take a One-revolution Little Saint seriously at all. However, the reception was held by Nether Prison after all, and he didn’t want to ruin it. So he raised his hands, pressed them down gently, and said, “Quiet, everyone. I’m just discussing it with him. After all, they’re our guests, and we can’t frighten them.”

After hearing what he said, the Nether Prison experts echoed him. The three Kings of the younger generations were strong contenders for the champion of the individual compet.i.tion. Their status was so transcendent that it was comparable to that of ordinary clan elders. Now that Lu Ban had spoken up, they naturally stopped forcing Bu Fang.

“Oh? Your puppet also looks very nice… Much better than the puppets I have seen before. I’m very interested in it. If I may ask, how much is a kilo for your puppet?”

Just as everyone was ready to start the reception, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

It startled everyone. Lu Yu trembled, for he was very familiar with that voice!

Everyone turned and looked at Bu Fang.

What did he say?!

“How dare you! Kneel down!”

“You are not qualified to even mention Lord Lu Ban’s puppet! You’re courting death!”

“You’re just a lucky guy who won first place in the semifinals! Don’t think of yourself as a big shot!”

The Nether Prison experts were all shouting. Their eyes were cold and full of sarcasm as they looked at Bu Fang.

Lu Ban’s face also became extremely cold. “I hate it when someone mentions my puppet… Do you want me to cut off your tongue, or do you want to cut it off yourself and kowtow to me and beg for mercy?” he said indifferently. His tone was cold and ruthless, and the way he looked at Bu Fang was as if he were looking at an insignificant worm.

“Since Brother Lu Ban is so upset with this guy, I’ll cut his tongue for you.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out. Everyone was shocked, and they quickly turned around to look at the speaker.

A bright sword light soared into the air as if to tear the sky apart. The crowd gasped at its dazzling light.

“He’s Zhang Qiubai, a Sword Demon from the best team! Is he here to avenge Zhang Xuan?!” someone exclaimed.

The next moment, the sword light shot toward Bu Fang’s head as he sat calmly in his seat!
