‘Ten thousand source stones per month…’ Bu Fang looked at the top story of the grand building in the distance, his face expressionless. ‘So that’s the store she found for me?’

“Are you happy with it? This is the best location for a restaurant except for those run by the few Earth Divine Chefs,” Luo Sanniang said with a triumphant look on her beautiful face. “Do you see that building? That’s my property… so don’t worry, I’ll waive your rental. Think of it as a reward for breaking the first seal.”

Compared with Bu Fang’s achievement, the rental of ten thousand source stones a month was nothing. Of course, the amount was also too little to bother her.

“Your property…?” The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. He knew Luo Sanniang was rich, but he didn’t expect she was this rich.

“What do you expect? Well, this building and a dozen houses in residential areas are all the properties I have,” she said in a regretful voice.

Bu Fang did not feel like talking to her anymore.

Luo Sanniang led Bu Fang toward the skysc.r.a.per and walked into its ground floor. It had a variety of shops and was bustling with activities inside, with people coming and going. She took him to an array and stepped on it. The array flashed, and in the blink of an eye, they were already at the top floor, which was also the store she had prepared for Bu Fang.

Its built-up area was not large, but it was more than enough to open a restaurant. Located on the top story of the building, the store’s walls were made of transparent crystals, so one could see through the walls at the scenery outside. Half of the capital was within view, riddled with all kinds of strange buildings.

Bu Fang finally understood why the rental was so expensive, and he thought it was reasonable. He was very satisfied with the location. A restaurant on the topmost floor of a skysc.r.a.per should attract many customers. If he were to find a store himself, he would not be able to find one that was so excellently located.

‘Attention, Host. The location of the new restaurant is targeted. The renovation will now begin, and the whole process will take two days,’ the System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head.

At this moment, a strange energy fluctuation spread from his body. Luo Sanniang, standing beside him, glanced suspiciously at him, as she seemed to sense an unusual power from him.

“Alright. Let’s go…” Bu Fang said to Luo Sanniang.

“That’s it? Don’t we need to discuss the renovation?” When she prepared the store, she had thought of many renovating plans. However, Bu Fang did not even touch the topic. That was out of her expectation.

“I’ll handle the renovation myself. There’s no need to trouble Steward Luo,” Bu Fang said, nodding.

Since Bu Fang had his own plan, Luo Sanniang thought that was better, for she could save her time. “Well, if that’s the case, let’s go to King Pingyang’s mansion now. The Beast Appreciating Feast is about to begin.” She was very interested in the feast.

When Bu Fang heard that, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded with a serious face.

Luo Sanniang was slightly taken aback by the change in his aura, and she found that his att.i.tude was a bit strange. ‘Is he going to cause trouble in King Pingyang’s mansion?’ she thought to herself.

They boarded the wars.h.i.+p again, which then rumbled and sped through the capital at great speed.

King Pingyang’s mansion was located in another district of the capital. The place had no high-rise buildings but low, luxurious mansions with independent gardens, red brick walls, and golden roof tiles.

Luo Sanniang’s wars.h.i.+p flew at high speed, and soon, it came to a halt. Not that they had arrived, but they were stopped by someone. She and Bu Fang came out of the s.h.i.+p. In front of them was a group of armored guards with mighty auras, and their leader was a G.o.d. Bu Fang’s eyes stung just by looking at him.

“Please show me your invitation if you wish to enter the mansion,” said the leader in a serious voice. He did not slack off in his duty even when he was facing Luo Sanniang’s seductive appearance.

Luo Sanniang knew these guards were just doing their job, so she did not mind their att.i.tude at all. She produced the invitation cards and handed them to him. The guard looked at the cards, glanced at her and Bu Fang, then his tensed face broke into a smile.

“Welcome, Steward Luo of the Divine Chef Temple. Our young master is expecting you inside. Please come in,” the guard said, stepping to the side and making a welcoming gesture.

Luo Sanniang nodded, put her arm around Bu Fang’s, and led him toward the mansion.

The atmosphere changed when they stepped into the mansion. Bu Fang could feel a strange energy in the air. It came from an array, he knew, and it was so powerful that it made his heart race a little faster.

“King Pingyang’s mansion is not an ordinary place. It is where the kinsmen of the emperor live, and King Pingyang himself is a G.o.d King of the generation who holds sway of the Divine Dynasty…” Luo Sanniang leaned over and whispered in Bu Fang’s ear.

Bu Fang frowned and nodded.

“You were not qualified to enter here, but for the sake that you have broken the first seal, the higher echelon of the Divine Chef Temple agreed to let me bring you here. After all, I’ve promised to fulfill all your requests… But you must promise me that you won’t cause trouble in King Pingyang’s mansion. Otherwise, even I can’t protect you.” Luo Sanniang was very serious.

Bu Fang did not say anything, and his att.i.tude made Luo Sanniang feel a little nervous. ‘Don’t tell me this young man is really going to cause trouble?’

In the distance, a man glanced with a dark face at Luo Sanniang, who was holding Bu Fang’s arm.

“Lord Zhao, I didn’t lie to you, did I? Look how close Steward Luo is with that boy and where she places her arm? This is so indecent,” Master Cheng said, smiling and holding a cup of wine. He glanced at the handsome man standing beside him as great joy filled his heart. ‘Let’s see how you are going to escape death this time, boy!’

This Lord Zhao was the heir of the Zhao Family, which was an aristocratic family of the Divine Dynasty. As an heir, he possessed formidable innate talents, and he was the key cultivating target of the family. On top of that, he was comprehending one of the supreme Laws of the Universe. He could easily kill a Spirit Divine Chef with a pinch of his fingers.

Lord Zhao gave Master Cheng a sideways glance and snorted coldly. Then, holding his wine cup, he stepped out from the shade in the garden and walked toward Luo Sanniang and Bu Fang.

“Luo Luo…” he called softly with a gentle smile on his face.

Luo Sanniang turned her head doubtfully, and her expression changed slightly when she saw Lord Zhao. She did not expect him to be here as well. However, when she saw Master Cheng, who was standing behind him, she realized that this old fool was the culprit.

“What a coincidence. Are you interested in that Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python too?” Lord Zhao said gently. He tried his best to behave like a gentleman in front of Luo Sanniang.

Bu Fang glanced at him with a straight face.

“Seven-colored Sky Devouring Pythons are ancient spirit beasts, but from what I heard, the one young master caught this time has not fully evolved yet. It’s only a five-colored python… At most, it’s as strong as a DemiG.o.d.

“It would be great if it’s a top-grade Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python…

“Luo Luo, if you like it, I can buy this python from young master and give it to you. You know how I feel about you.”

Lord Zhao looked at Luo Sanniang with such tenderness that it made Bu Fang’s skin creep.

“Zhao Wuhen, don’t waste your time. You’d better work harder to comprehend the supreme Law of the Universe and become a G.o.d, lest the head of the Zhao Family complains about your laziness.” Luo Sanniang rolled her eyes. Her att.i.tude toward this Lord Zhao was not warm at all.

Although he had been lectured, Zhao Wuhen still kept a gentle smile on his face. He turned to Bu Fang, and his eyes grew slightly sharper. “Well, who is this brother?” he asked, narrowing his eyes. A burst of fearsome pressure spread from him. He was just a DemiG.o.d, but since he was comprehending the supreme Law of the Universe, the pressure was very powerful.

“He is a distinguished guest of the Divine Chef Temple, and he has nothing to do with you,” Luo Sanniang said hastily before Bu Fang could speak. After that, she took the latter’s hand and walked away.

Zhao Wuhen’s face grew dark in an instant. He could tell that Luo Sanniang was protecting Bu Fang. That filled him with jealousy, and he felt as though his chest was about to explode.

“Master Cheng… I agree with your request. No matter who this boy is, since he dares to get his hands on Luo Luo, he must die,” Zhao Wuhen said lightly. As his voice faded, the cup in his hand cracked.

A smile brushed Master Cheng’s lips, and he finished the wine in his cup in one gulp. ‘You’re dead now, boy! I’m going to make you cough out everything you’ve taken away from me! How dare a mere DemiG.o.d fight with me?!’

…

The world gradually turned to dusk, and soon, it was dark. Stars flickered in the sky as melodious music filled the air. n.o.ble guests arrived in succession, greeting and chatting with each other, while a terrible aura lingered in the garden.

Suddenly, a beam of light fell, and the crowd parted to make a path. Before long, a figure could be seen slowly walking over from the mansion. He wore a brocade robe and a golden crown. His face was kind, but his eyes were extremely sharp, making him look like a savage monster lurking in a corner.

Everyone greeted the man respectfully. Even Luo Sanniang bowed slightly when he walked past.

“He’s the young master of King Pingyang. As one of the few geniuses in the capital, he’s comprehending the supreme Law of the Universe, the Law of Destruction. He’s only a DemiG.o.d, but because he’s also comprehending the Law of Sword, his fighting strength is not weaker than that of an average low-grade G.o.d,” Luo Sanniang whispered in Bu Fang’s ear.

In fact, she still had no idea what Law was Bu Fang comprehending. She was a little bit curious about that. She looked at his face and found that he was very calm after listening to her introduction.

The young master walked slowly to the middle of the crowd and gave a speech. When he had finished, the people around him cheered and applauded. Then, he took a step back and clapped his hands.

“The Beast Appreciating Feast will begin now… Let us enjoy delicious food while appreciating the divine beast. I hope you all have a good time!”

The crowd cheered again while Bu Fang focused his eyes. It was about to begin. ‘Is this Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python Flowery?’ He took a deep breath.

As the young master’s clap died, a rumbling sound rang out from the mansion. A ten-foot-tall dark iron cage was brought out, carried by four DemiG.o.ds on their shoulders. It was very heavy, for the ground shook with every step they took.

Inside the cage was a huge five-colored python, slamming at the iron bars and filling the air with a rumbling sound. All the people present exclaimed when they saw it.

Luo Sanniang also watched with relish. Suddenly, she felt Bu Fang’s aura change.
