Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Instant noodles?
The crown prince and the others were stunned. What kind of food was this? Why had they never heard of it? However, its aroma… and its sour taste was beyond words! It really smelled amazing!
Like a hammer, the aroma struck their souls hard, causing their whole bodies to tremble. It was a delicious aroma that teased their hearts! When they inhaled deeply, the smell burrowed into their noses and swirled through them like a melodious song, full of different tastes such as sour, sweet, bitter, and hot.
The crown prince’s eyes moistened. He felt as if he was swimming in this fragrance. At that moment, even in the face of the most terrifying Numbered Soul Demon, his heart was fearless. The bowl of noodles in Bu Fang’s hand made him fearless. It was a miraculous bowl of noodles!
The noodles were blooming with a brilliant golden light. The surrounding people were all in an uproar because they had never seen noodles that would glow. For Bu Fang, however, it was just a very normal dish.
The fragrance lingered in the air, while hot steam rose in rings into the sky and spread out. The fragrance was strong, but it seemed to be lacking something. This made Bu Fang frown.
As the aroma continued to spread, the Keeper, who had transformed into a terrifying giant, was oppressed by it and kept retreating. Human food made Soul Demons sick, but not to that extent. The dish Bu Fang cooked was so horrible that the Soul Demon wanted to tear him up right away.
However, the fragrance was there in the air, and it kept invading him, making his stomach churn and giving him the urge to throw up. He was so weak that he could not even exert his strength.
Down below, the two guards lying on the ground had already pa.s.sed out—they were knocked out by the aroma of the food. This was an incredible thing for them, and such a thing had never happened before! They would be disgusted by human food, but this was the first time they were knocked unconscious by it!
Boom!
The Keeper landed on the ground with a crash. His body was incomparably huge, his appearance extremely ferocious. His eyes were full of rage, while his scarlet pupils rolled and fixed on Bu Fang.
“Why do I feel that this bowl of instant noodles with pickled cabbage is… missing something…” Looking at the bowl of noodles in his hands, Bu Fang was lost in thought.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and then he raised his hand. The silver Divine flame immediately appeared over his palm, burning quietly and emitting a hot temperature. The next moment, a spirit beast egg emerged and floated in midair before him. He cracked it with his divine sense, and the egg white and yolk immediately fell on his palm.
Sizzle…
Frying an egg with his palm was a very easy task for Bu Fang. Soon, the fried egg was ready, and he put it in the blue-and-white porcelain bowl.
At last, the dish was perfect. The rich aroma of fried egg combined with the delicious fragrance of instant noodles was like a storm at sea, filling one’s heart with despair. The smell was simply too delicious!
Behind Bu Fang, the crown prince and the geniuses narrowed their eyes and craned their necks to sniff the aroma in the air, their mouths watering. The fragrance tickled their appet.i.te and made them eager to try this delicious dish.
Meanwhile, Foxy’s eyes were wide, her front paws gripping Bu Fang’s shoulder as she kept sticking her tongue out.
“Take it easy.” Bu Fang stroked her head. “It’s useless for you to be so impatient because I’m not going to let you eat the instant noodles,” he said.
Foxy seemed stunned. ‘What about the trust between the man and the fox?’ she thought. ‘Don’t you need me to blast him to death?’ The little fox suddenly felt a little sad.
The storm formed by the fragrance of the fried egg and the instant noodles pounded the Keeper backward. Bu Fang glanced at the two guards who had fallen to the ground. With a thought in his mind and a flick of his finger, the Divine flame turned into an arrow and shot out at great speed.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow smashed on the ground like a comet, producing two explosive booms. The two mighty Numbered Soul Demons were instantly engulfed by the Divine flame and turned into nothingness, leaving only black shadows wailing in the flames. Finally, even the black shadows vanished under the burning of the Divine flame.
Bu Fang’s Divine flame had incorporated countless Laws, so it had a powerful restraining effect on these Soul Demons. He had known this a long time ago. The combination of his delicious food and the Divine flame had made him the nemesis of these Soul Demons. At that moment, even the crown prince and the others realized that.
The Keeper narrowed his eyes. The smell of the instant noodles made his limbs weak.
Holding the porcelain bowl in one hand, Bu Fang controlled the Divine flame and turned it into a divine dragon. The silver dragon roared, emitting a fiery heat that distorted the void.
“What is this?!” the Keeper hissed. The next moment, his insect scales shot out and rushed toward the Divine flame. However, the moment they collided in midair, all the scales were burned into ashes…
He growled, his scarlet pupils constricting. Without the slightest hesitation, he rose to the sky, tore open the void, and stepped into it.
The fragrance of the noodles spread in all directions like ripples. Even Bu Fang himself was so attracted by it that he could not stand it any longer. To him, this aroma was so familiar that it made his mouth water.
“If the aroma of delicious food is a disgusting thing to these Soul Demons, what is the stinkiest food to them?” While sniffing the fragrance of the instant noodles, Bu Fang suddenly thought of a serious question, which had reached a philosophical level.
He grabbed his chopsticks and took a mouthful of noodles. Accompanied by a sour and spicy broth and a fragrant fried egg, the deep-fried golden noodles were very springy. He inhaled fiercely and felt the noodles spring up and rush into his mouth. Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked some of the broth on his lips.
The sour, spicy taste made his lips turn red instantly.
Gulp!
The surrounding people were all dumbfounded. The mouthful of instant noodles had attracted everyone’s attention. Foxy, sitting on Bu Fang’s shoulder, stared at the bowl of instant noodles with her mouth drooling. The aroma was just too tantalizing.
Bu Fang let out a breath. The sour and spicy taste of the noodles simply penetrated his heart! “Foxy, open your mouth…” He finally decided to let Foxy eat the instant noodles.
Foxy’s eyes lit up with excitement, and the fur all over her body stood up! ‘Sure enough, Bu Fang still loves me!’ she thought to herself.
Bu Fang handed the whole bowl over, and Foxy swallowed it whole.
Gulp.
The crown prince swallowed again as he watched with an expectant expression on his face. ‘I want to eat that too…’ As a crown prince, he had tasted all kinds of delicacies, but at this moment, he would rather use those delicacies to exchange a mouthful of instant noodles!
Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stroked Foxy’s head. The little fox closed her eyes and seemed to be savoring the taste in her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes flicked open, her jaw dropped, and her lips turned red! The next moment, her nine tails wagged wildly behind her, las.h.i.+ng at the void. With a humming sound, she disappeared.
The Keeper steadied himself and fixed his eyes on Foxy. The instant noodles were finished, and he could no longer smell the aroma that made him gag. He thought the human was a little silly. If the noodles were still there, the aroma it emitted would have caused a huge suppression of his strength. Now, without the noodles, what else could this human use to hold him back?!
“Hmph!” he grunted coldly. The next moment, he moved, his body turning into countless afterimages as he sped toward Bu Fang’s direction. He could kill that fox in a split second! It was just a fox!
The crown prince and the others finally snapped out of their daze, and a look of shock pa.s.sed over their faces.
“What has he done? This is too stupid! How could he give the food that could suppress the Soul Demon to that little fox? How are we going to turn things around now? Our only hope is now gone!”
Bu Fang, however, remained calm.
The Keeper was closing in quickly on Foxy. He would kill her first, and then he would break the chef’s arms and legs so that he could cook no more. As for the others, he would treat them like food and eat them all! Ever since he was sent to guard this Divine Temple, he had not tasted a delicious human for a long time!
In midair, Foxy’s belly began to bulge. At the same time, Bu Fang made his move. With the four Wheels of Law appearing and hovering around him, his body shot forward instantly in a fine stream of light and approached the Keeper in an instant.
As he drew nearer, he raised his Taotie Arm and slammed a fierce punch toward the Keeper’s face. The punch had incorporated the four supreme Laws of the Universe, so its power was unparalleled.
“You’re courting death!” The Keeper’s pupils constricted. He gave a furious hiss, but the next moment, his voice came to an abrupt halt as he saw the little fox in the sky open her mouth and spit out a stream of golden light at him.
“This is…”
As the golden light faded away, what appeared in front of him was a rapidly spinning bowl of instant noodles! In just a flash, the bowl approached him and exploded with a rumble, emitting a rolling cloud of aroma that instantly engulfed him!
“The smell…” The Keeper’s body almost deformed, and his movements to tear Bu Fang apart came to a complete stop.
The next moment, Bu Fang’s fist closed in and smashed his head with a bang. The four supreme Laws crushed everything and blew the Keeper apart! In just the blink of an eye, he broke into pieces and shot out in all directions!
“Ahhhh! d.a.m.n human chef! I, Soul Eight, will not spare you!” From the shattered body, Soul Eight transformed into a plume of black smoke and rushed toward Bu Fang.
Bu Fang looked at the black smoke with an indifferent face. This was the most primitive form of the Soul Demon, and the way to deal with it was… He stretched out his Taotie Arm and instantly caught the black smoke with his palm.
Sizzle…
The silver Divine flame burst out of Bu Fang’s hand and began to slowly burn. In just a few moments, the black Soul Demon began to struggle and twist violently. As the flame continued to burn, he began to gradually fade away, one wisp after another…
Soul Eight let out a shrill scream. The sound soared into the sky as if it was going to tear the world apart!
Suddenly, the faces of the crown prince and the others changed dramatically! They gasped and turned to look in the direction of the paG.o.da. There, two Keepers wrapped in robes slowly walked out.
With a creepy clattering sound, insect scales quickly emerged and completely covered their bodies. In the crowd’s horrified gaze, the two Keepers’ pupils turned scarlet, while saliva kept dripping down from the corners of their mouths. They looked extremely scary! However, this was just the beginning…
The crown prince and the others gasped.
Bu Fang frowned slightly as he turned to look into the distance. At some point, the sky there had become black—countless figures were flying toward them from that direction!
“Dad!”
“It’s Father!”
“Ah! The experts of our families have finally come to save us!”
The geniuses around the crown prince cried out in excitement. They knew that their savior had come! Soon, however, their cries came to a halt. Their pupils constricted, and all that was left of them was a chill creeping up from under their feet.
In the distant sky, the eyes of the experts from various families all turned scarlet, while insect scales slowly covered their bodies…
The crown prince felt that he had fallen into an ice cave. Bu Fang, on the other hand, furrowed his brows. ‘Can it be true that I was right? This t.i.tan Divine Dynasty has turned into a kingdom of Soul Demons?’ The corner of his mouth twitched a little. ‘If that’s really the case…”
He glanced sideways at the crown prince standing behind him. ‘It means that these geniuses have been staying in the kingdom of Soul Demons for so long without discovering these creatures. They’re just so cute…’
A dark ma.s.s of Soul Demons was approaching. With drooling mouths, their eyes fixed on Bu Fang and the many geniuses behind him. In their eyes, Bu Fang was like the best food in the world! Now, since this best food had intruded their kingdom, he must die!
