Chapter 1670: Bu Fang’s Transformation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bu Fang’s arm was bitten by the cursed snake, and a dark aura seemed to seep into it. He frowned and grunted.

Nethery’s pupils constricted, and she yanked the lady’s hand. The latter looked at her, then the cursed snake disappeared.

“Your sympathy is useless. When you return to Void City, you will understand how disgusting these chefs are,” said the lady faintly.

After glancing coldly at Bu Fang, she pulled back her hand and said to Nethery, “Take one last look at this chef. The Soul G.o.d is about to awaken, and the first thing he will do when he wakes up is to kill this chef. This may well be the last time you see each other.”

Nethery bit her lip. She did not listen to the lady but gave Bu Fang a complicated look.

“Bu Fang… give me another bowl of Dragon Blood Rice.”

Bu Fang felt a numbness in his arm. After being bitten by the cursed snake, some kind of energy seemed to have seeped into it. However, he did not refuse Nethery. He had prepared Dragon Blood Rice in advance.

With a flip of his hand, he produced a bowl of rice and handed it to her. He had stored many bowls of Dragon Blood Rice in the System’s storage s.p.a.ce for emergencies.

Nethery took the bowl and ate the rice quietly.

The lady watched her eat. She was in no hurry, for she had plenty of time. In fact, at her level, time did not mean much.

Nethery ate quickly. Before long, she had finished eating. It was as delicious as ever. She did not think she could get tired of the Dragon Blood Rice no matter how many times she ate it.

After fusing with the power of the female corpse, she found that she had some extra memories in her head. Now, these memories had awakened and made her understand her origin.

She came from Void City, the home of Cursed G.o.ddesses. The Cursed G.o.ddess of each generation would have her memory sealed by the Queen of Curses and then banished to a different place. If the memory of a particular Cursed G.o.ddess awakened, she would regain the recognition of Void City and could return as a candidate of the Queen’s successor.

Nethery could not refuse the lady’s request for her return. When she agreed to borrow the power of Void City, she had sealed her fate.

The lady before her was the reclaimer of Void City. In fact, she was once a Cursed G.o.ddess, and now she was one of the guardians of Void City, a mighty expert with the cultivation base of a Chaotic Saint.

That was all Nethery knew. She would learn more secrets only after she returned to Void City.

The time had finally come for her and Bu Fang to part ways. It was a pity that she would never be able to eat the food he cooked from now on. She felt a little suffocated…

“Let’s go…” said the lady.

Nethery nodded.

Bu Fang frowned and wanted to stop them, but the lady raised a finger. A ma.s.sive burst of Chaotic Energy erupted, causing the void to collapse. In the blink of an eye, the distance between him and them was stretched infinitely far.

“Chefs are not welcome in Void City. This comes from Her Majesty’s aversion to chefs. Of course, if you’re strong enough to be approved by Her Majesty, you can still come. However, that is basically impossible. You are too weak,” said the lady.

After that, she smiled, then took Nethery’s hand and slowly turned around.

Suddenly, everything in front of Bu Fang shrank to a tiny dot, and in just a twinkling of an eye, the dot disappeared. Even the terrible aura of a Chaotic Saint was gone.

Bu Fang stood where he was. The sun had sunk completely into the horizon, and the little bit of crimson in the sky was swallowed up by the darkness. The vault of heaven was covered with bright stars, which emitted a dazzling light.

He took a deep breath with neither sadness nor joy in his heart. Nethery had left. As the lady said, his strength was still too weak. He was not even qualified to keep Nethery here.

He had learned a lot from the lady’s words. She said she had seen a lot of chefs like him, and she seemed to be afraid of restaurants. Or maybe what really scared her was the System.

‘Could it be that the chefs she had met are the Hosts before me? There seems to be some kind of unknown relations.h.i.+p between the Hosts, Void City, and Soul Demons…’

Bu Fang lifted his head to look at the sky.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and the Celestial Dog watched him from a distance and did not disturb him. They knew that he needed to think about life now.

Bu Fang looked out at the vast starry sky with vacant eyes. The Artifact Spirits’ sighs could be heard ringing in his spirit sea.

‘Host, stick to the path of becoming the G.o.d of Cooking… Only when you stand at the top will you be able to see many things and look through the mists. Believe in yourself. You are the best,’ the System’s serious voice echoed in his head.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. The System had not comforted him for a long time. However, the System was right. Perhaps he would be able to see through all the fog that had been hanging over him once he became the G.o.d of Cooking and stood at the top.

He turned and walked into the restaurant, closing the door behind him with a creak.

…

The Chaotic Saint’s aura had disappeared, which made many Immortals sigh with relief. It would be hard for them to stop a Chaotic Saint from destroying the Ancestral Planet—it would be a nightmare for all if that really happened.

In the days that followed, the Ancestral Planet regained its peace.

The Immortals were all hidden in the mountains and no longer showed up in public. In the cities, however, the superhumans began to develop substantially. The development of the cultivation system gave the people a renewed enthusiasm and desire for cultivation.

After enjoying Bu Fang’s delicious food for a few days, Yang Jian left with the Celestial Dog. They must return to the Immortal Island of Penglai.

It was Tongtian who called them back. Many Immortals were about to return to the Primitive Universe to fight the Soul Demons, and Yang Jian, as a divine general of the Celestial Court, would naturally partic.i.p.ate in the battle as well.

Bu Fang did not ask them to stay; there was no need for him to do so. His restaurant has always been like this, with people coming and leaving all the time. He had gotten used to it.

Sun Wukong also left. He did not really want to leave, but he could not stay all day eating and drinking at Bu Fang’s restaurant. He had completed the task he needed to accomplish on the Ancestral Planet, so it was time for him to go back to the Primitive Universe and fight the Soul Demons.

Moreover, after eating many of Bu Fang’s delicacies and Soul Overlord meat, his cultivation base had reached a bottleneck. He needed a spark to break through.

This spark could not be found on Earth that had become peaceful under the care of the three human emperors. That was why he chose to return to the Primitive Universe.

For a moment, Bu Fang was the only one left in Bubu Little Kitchen.

The Empyrean Fairy had become very well-behaved now. Although Nethery had left, she was still her maid. For the past few days, Bu fang’s expressionless look had put a lot of pressure on her.

One day, Bu Fang closed the door of the restaurant and left alone. He returned to Jiangdong and walked around the city, remembering the roads he used to take.

Earth was thriving—all the people were cultivating hard. The pressure brought by the Soul Demons made them understand the importance of cultivation.

Bu Fang walked on Earth at a steady pace.

…

At the superhuman base in Jiangdong, Xiao Ai stretched her back, then walked out of the building to get some sun.

Earth had become much more peaceful than before. The G.o.ds of other countries were well behaved now. This might be due to the increasing strength of superhumans. In fact, it also had something to do with Bu Fang’s Soul Overlord meat.

Most of the Soul Overlord meat sold by Bu Fang was bought by Hua’s experts, and every slice of meat had created a supreme being. With these mighty existences guarding Hua, no one dared to cause trouble.

Even Xiao Ai had become an A-cla.s.s superhuman. Although it was a shame that she had only reached this level after following Bu Fang for so long, her innate talent was limited after all.

Suddenly, she froze. She seemed to see a familiar figure in the distance. “Senior?” she called out.

The next moment, she rushed in that direction and came to a thick wood. However, she did not see anyone. She was sure that it was Bu Fang she had just seen.

Of course, when Bu Fang did not want her to see him, she naturally could not see him.

There was an egg on the ground, which radiated a golden glow and looked like something divine.

“What’s this?” Xiao Ai picked up the egg. The energy in it made her feel refreshed.

There was no doubt that it was left behind by Bu Fang. But Xiao Ai could not understand why he did that. And, what was inside the egg?

In fact, the egg was a gift from the Immortal Tree to Bu Fang. It was a dragon egg. He chose to leave it on Earth as some kind of footprint he left behind.

He continued to walk in the city. His divine sense kept sweeping through the crowd, but no one could sense it. He stayed on Earth for a month. During this time, he traveled to every corner of the planet.

A month later, Bu Fang returned to Mount Kunlun. He had decided to keep Bubu Little Kitchen at the foot of the mountain. As for when he would return to continue the business, that would depend on fate.

One day, Bu Fang was finally ready to leave. The Artifact Spirits were all awakened, so he had completed his task on Earth. He had even experienced many things, and they made him grow up. His state of mind had gone through a transformation, which was hard to describe.

On Earth, he learned about the horror of the Soul Demons and the higher levels of cultivation, met many new friends, felt the spirits of the three human emperors, and learned about the existence of the Primitive Universe.

And, of course, Void City. Bu Fang swore that he would go there someday. Since the Queen of Curses hated chefs so much, he vowed that one day he would open a restaurant in her city and cook under her nose every day.

He just loved to see how people hated him but could not get rid of him.

Before the return, Bu Fang went into the Heaven and Earth Farmland. It was as vibrant as ever and had evolved into a vast world. Of course, there were no humans in this big world.

Niu Hansan’s wooden hut was built in the middle of the farmland. He lived in this world like a fish in water, spending his days leisurely.

The Immortal Tree had grown taller and looked more magical. Under it, the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea Tree was surrounded by a hazy mist as if enveloped in the aura of the Great Path, while the Senseless Lotus was in full bloom on its crown, displaying its bewitching beauty to the fullest.

Bu Fang walked quietly in the farmland. Niu Hansan did not know that he was here. He was still lying in his chair snoring loudly…

…

After leaving the Heaven and Earth Farmland, Bu Fang sat on a chair in Bubu Little Kitchen. On the table in front of him was a dish and a jar of wine.

He sipped the wine and ate the dish.

The Empyrean Fairy stood respectfully at a distance and looked at Bu Fang from time to time. She felt that he was becoming more and more terrifying and that his strength was becoming more and more unfathomable…

When the jar was empty, Bu Fang focused his eyes and took a deep breath. The next moment, with a thought, the System’s serious voice rang out in his head…
