The stench spread throughout the kitchen, forcing everyone to cover their noses. The smell was too pungent and unbearable.
Bu Fang knitted his brows, waved his hand in front of his nose, and slowly walked out of the kitchen. "Someone keep an eye on him. Once the toxins are expelled, he should be able to recover."
The Xiao family members looked at each other. In the end, Lin Qin'Er and Xiao Yu stayed behind, while the others left the kitchen.
Xiao Yanyu stayed by Bu Fang's side, bringing him along for a stroll in the woods of the Xiao Residence.
The setting sun gradually sank, casting a dim light. The shadows of the two were elongated, bringing with them a strange mood.
When the sun completely set, the night sky was covered, and specks of starlight appeared around the two crescent moons. Bu Fang and Xiao Yanyu returned to the main hall of the Xiao family.
Xiao Keyun had already recovered completely. After taking a bath, he cleansed off the stench and toxins from his body. He looked extremely weak, his face was deathly pale, and there was not much color in his lips. It was obvious that the process of expelling the toxins had tormented him greatly.
However, Lin Qin'Er and Xiao Yu wore smiles on their faces. The expressions of the Xiao family members were also much more relaxed. It was obvious that the poison in Xiao Keyun's body had been completely expelled.
"Thank you, Young Master Bu, for saving my life." Xiao Keyun stood up from his seat. Although his body was still weak, he still cupped his hands toward Bu Fang, his face full of gratitude.
Bu Fang waved his hand. From the looks of it, he had recovered.
"Although the toxins have been completely expelled, you can feel your weakness. Because you were poisoned too deeply, even though the poison has been removed, the side effects are still very obvious. Your cultivation level has declined, and it is inevitable that your body is weak," Bu Fang said calmly.
Xiao Keyun was silent. He originally had the cultivation level of a sixth grade Battle-Emperor, but because of the detoxification this time, his cultivation level had fallen back to fifth grade Battle-King. He was even weaker than before, and his body was even weaker. He would need to nourish himself for a period of time to recover.
It could be said that he had suffered a huge loss this time. He had gained nothing.
Bu Fang didn't exchange too many pleasantries with the Xiao Family. After saying a few words, he returned to the guest room arranged by the Xiao Family. Today was a tiring day for him. After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed and slept soundly.
Although it was a little excessive to say that he was mentally and physically exhausted, killing a Tier 7 Burst-Dragon Demonic Fish and making an elixir cuisine was still quite tiring.
It was especially tiring to kill the Burst-Dragon Demonic Fish. This was the reason why Bu Fang didn't like to fight and kill. It was too tiring.
The next day, at dawn, sunlight shone in through the window and onto the ground, giving off a slight warmth.
Bu Fang got out of bed, stretched his body, and yawned. After washing up, he walked out of the room.
The environment of the Xiao Family's garden was very good, and the air was especially fresh. The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees in the garden, like crushed golden light scattered on the ground.
Strolling along the path paved with gravel in the garden, Bu Fang felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation in his body and mind.
After strolling for a while, a figure slowly jogged toward his position from afar.
Xiao Yanyu looked at the incomparably cold Bu Fang, who was standing under the speckles of sunlight, and was slightly taken aback. At this moment, Owner Bu gave off a strange aura that she had never seen before.
However, she came here for official business, so she didn't stay for too long.
Bu Fang was dragged by Xiao Yanyu to the Xiao Family's main hall. There weren't many people in the main hall early in the morning, but a unique fragrance was drifting in the air.
Smelling this fragrance, Bu Fang's eyes slightly lit up. There was delicious food!
"Owner Bu, in order to repay you for saving her life, Second Aunt personally cooked and made Pan-Fried Pork Buns..." Xiao Yanyu said.
Bu Fang was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up. Interesting.
Bu Fang strode into the main hall and sat down. Not long after, Lin Qin'Er came out with an exquisite plate of Pan-Fried Pork Buns.
Her face was a little pale, and her lips were slightly trembling.
"Young Master Bu, this concubine knows that this Pan-Fried Pork Bun is nothing compared to the favor of saving my husband's life. However, consider it a token of my appreciation. I hope that this concubine's cooking will not disappoint Young Master." Lin Qin'Er's pale face revealed a smile.
Pan-Fried Pork Buns? Bu Fang's eyes lit up, and he nodded.
A round plate was placed in front of him. The plate wasn't big, but there were a total of four Pan-Fried Pork Buns on it. Every Pan-Fried Pork Bun was fried until it was golden and tender, emitting a rich aroma.
Dense steam diffused from the Pan-Fried Pork Bun. The golden appearance was exquisite, and the oil slowly seeped into it, emitting tiny bubbles.
The Pan-Fried Pork Bun was a local delicacy of the Southern City. Bu Fang had tasted a few kinds of Pan-Fried Pork Buns, and the taste was indeed not bad. The crispy skin was indeed delicious.
However, to Bu Fang, it was merely not bad.
He wondered how the Pan-Fried Pork Bun of the "Bun Beauty", which was highly praised by many but never had the chance to taste. He hoped that it wouldn't disappoint him.
Lin Qin'Er's body swayed slightly. After she put down the plate, she found a seat and sat down. She was slightly panting, and it seemed that she was very tired.
Bu Fang gave her a quick glance, then withdrew his gaze. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a Pan-Fried Pork Bun.
After sizing it up, he opened his mouth and took a bite.
With one bite, the rich, fragrant, and scalding oil flowed out from the Pan-Fried Pork Bun and slid into his mouth, causing his whole body to tremble.
The taste was naturally very good. The fragrance of the meat and vegetables was released perfectly, covering Bu Fang's taste buds. It made Bu Fang's eyes squint unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face.
The taste was indeed much better than the other Pan-Fried Pork Buns in the Southern City. Moreover … After chewing for a while, Bu Fang carefully savored the taste, he discovered many differences.
Lin Qin'Er's Pan-Fried Pork Bun contained spirit energy. Although the concentration was not very high, it was the kind that perfectly preserved the spirit energy of the ingredients. Because the ingredients used in this Pan-Fried Pork Bun were not precious, the spirit energy contained in the ingredients was not much. Basically, Lin Qin'Er made sure that there was no leakage of spirit energy.
This was what amazed Bu Fang the most. To think that someone could make such a Pan-Fried Pork Bun.
No wonder Lin Qin'Er's expression was so ugly. To perfectly preserve the spirit energy of the ingredients was not an easy task. Judging from Lin Qin'Er's appearance, she must have expended a lot of her mental energy. The true energy in her body was almost exhausted. After all, Lin Qin'Er's cultivation level was not high, and her mental energy was not strong either.
In order to preserve the spirit energy, one had to communicate with the spirit energy in the ingredients. This was the so-called spirit resonance, and they had to reach the same frequency. To a person's mental energy, this was a huge burden.
Because of his experience, Bu Fang was able to control the spirit energy with ease. His mental energy was also very strong, so he did not feel any strain. However, Lin Qin'Er … was naturally having a hard time.
This was also the reason why Xiao Keyun did not allow Lin Qin'Er to make this Pan-Fried Pork Bun.
"Not bad." It was rare that Bu Fang did not make a vicious comment. Instead, he expressed his feelings with two simple words.
It was not easy for Lin Qin'Er to make such a delicacy with her cultivation level. Bu Fang even admired her in his heart. This was because she had to go through countless times of training and trial and error to be able to make such a delicacy.
Rustle. There seemed to be the sound of pages flipping in Bu Fang's mind. His eyes were slightly dazed. He sensed that there was another page of recipe in the recipe record book. On it was the detailed method of making the Pan-Fried Pork Bun.
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up. He happily ate a few more Pan-Fried Pork Bun. After finishing all the buns, he let out a long sigh.
Lin Qin'Er smiled at Bu Fang. She was also delighted. To be able to see a smile on the face of someone who had tasted her food was the greatest happiness.
The matter in the Southern City had come to an end. He had also eaten the Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Bu Fang also understood that it was time to leave. His trip to the Southern City could be considered a success.
Although there were some unforeseen events, such as the black-robed men and the familiar poison pill … Bu Fang could not be bothered with them. Why should he care so much? What did these things have to do with him?
Bu Fang did not linger in the Xiao Family for long. After bidding farewell to Xiao Yanyu and the others, he brought Xiao Bai with him and slowly left the great Southern City.
Crossing the surging Dragon River, Bu Fang walked with his hands clasped behind his back. Xiao Bai followed closely behind him.
Xiao Yanyu looked at Bu Fang's disappearing figure and felt a little disappointed. However, she quickly hid this disappointment and her face once again revealed a cold expression. She could not leave the Southern City for the time being. There were still many matters that needed to be resolved … For example, the reason why those mysterious people called her to the Southern City, and so on.
At the edge of the Ten Miles Pavilion in the Southern City, specks of light flickered as the wind howled.
Bu Fang's hair fluttered in the wind. Then, he took a step into the gale and disappeared.
