The Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire, Main Hall.
Ji Chengxue wore a brocade robe as he sat on the Dragon Throne. His complexion was much better than before. Even though the Imperial City was still in a state of chaos and his position could be threatened at any time, he was no longer as worried as before.
It was because the Light Wind Empire had received extremely powerful reinforcements. These reinforcements were existences that Ji Chengxue would never have dared to imagine.
The Godly Temple of the Wildlands, the White Cloud Villa of the Illusory Spirit Swamp, and the Clear Sky Pagoda of the Hundred Thousand Mountains had all sent experts to support the Light Wind Empire.
This was an unexpected surprise. The Light Wind Empire was already in a precarious situation. Many counties were occupied by Ji Chengyu's army because of the powerful existences within his army.
Facing such existences, the experts of the Light Wind Empire couldn't even defend themselves. Even Xiao Meng suffered a great loss when he first encountered Ji Chengyu's army.
Later, Ji Chengxue found out that Ji Chengyu was colluding with a forbidden force. That force was so evil that even the Godly Temple of the Wildlands and other terrifying forces wanted to eradicate it.
Within the Main Hall, there were many experts from these forces. This was also the reason why Ji Chengxue's complexion was much better.
Each of the forces had one expert guarding the Imperial City. The weakest among them was a seventh grade Battle-Saint, while the rest were eighth grade War-Gods. With so many experts present, the Imperial City was basically as stable as Mount Tai in Ji Chengxue's eyes.
"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"
A man with bulging muscles that resembled a horned dragon gazed at Ji Chengxue, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne.
This was an expert from the Godly Temple of the Wildlands, a powerful eighth grade War-God. His face showed no signs of fear toward Ji Chengxue. For a force like the Godly Temple of the Wildlands, worldly forces were no longer enough to intimidate them.
"Elder Sun, it's not that I don't agree to your request. It's just that … Fang Fang's Little Store cannot be touched." Ji Chengxue's face revealed a helpless expression.
"Your Majesty, the death of our Ferocious Temple's Elder Xia Yu is related to that store. Someone witnessed our Ferocious Temple's Elder Xia fighting with the experts from that store." Elder Sun's expression was cold and stern. He was an elder of the Godly Temple of the Wildlands. Since two experts from the Godly Temple of the Wildlands had died in this store in the Imperial Capital, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.
The Godly Temple of the Wildlands had sent him to the Imperial City to protect the emperor of the Light Wind Empire and to investigate this matter.
The Godly Temple of the Wildlands could not be humiliated. Since this store dared to kill an eighth grade War-God and a Supreme-Being with a fleshly body, it naturally had to bear the wrath of the Godly Temple of the Wildlands.
Ji Chengxue was also aware of this, which was why he was in a dilemma. In his opinion, Owner Bu's store … was simply a ticking time bomb. Anyone who provoked it would be done for. He really didn't want to provoke this expert from the Godly Temple of the Wildlands.
"Your Majesty, I don't care what you think. It just so happens that the owner of that store has returned. I will go and demand an explanation from him today. Even if that store is guarded by a supreme beast, it is not a reason for him to humiliate our Godly Temple of the Wildlands," Elder Sun coldly said.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the main hall. Ji Chengxue, who was sitting in the main hall, felt slightly embarrassed and angry.
There were many experts from other factions in the main hall, such as Zhan Kong from the White Cloud Villa and a seventh grade Battle-Saint from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Ji Chengxue felt a burst of anger, but there was nothing he could do. In the face of such experts, he had no way of restraining them.
...
Early morning.
Bu Fang got out of bed. After washing up, he went to the kitchen. Yu Fu had already woken up and was practicing her cutting skills. When she saw Bu Fang, she smiled and greeted him.
Bu Fang nodded and walked to his stove. He took the heavy kitchen knife and started practicing his cutting skills. Even though his Meteor Cutting Skill had already reached the maximum level, he still practiced it out of habit.
After practicing his cutting skills, he would naturally start carving. His Big Dipper Carving Skill was still a bit away from reaching the maximum level, so he mainly focused on carving.
After practicing for a while, Bu Fang started preparing to cook the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
After going through the military mission, he had improved by a lot. He knew that he still had many shortcomings, so he became even more diligent.
After a while, the rich aroma of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs permeated the kitchen.
The orange juice poured onto the ribs and slowly flowed down. It emitted an intoxicating fragrance that whetted one's appetite.
After opening the door of the store, Bu Fang placed the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of Blacky.
The past two days were probably the happiest for Blacky. Bu Fang had been on the military mission for half a month, and its mouth was about to turn into a bird.
The days without the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs were simply too unbearable.
After stroking Blacky's fur, Bu Fang returned to the store.
After curling up on the chair for a while, Xiao Xiaolong ran over.
Today was the day Bu Fang would test Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu's cutting and carving skills. When he arrived at the kitchen, the two of them were already prepared.
Xiao Xiaolong was suppressing his anger. He had lost to Yu Fu last time, so this time, he must get back at her.
"Today's test is very simple. Use your cutting and carving skills to show me the Thousand Layer Tofu Flower."
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back as he looked at the two of them and said calmly.
Thousand Layer Tofu Flower?
Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu were startled. This was a dish created by Bu Fang's famous cutting skill. Of course, it was not only about cutting skills, but also about carving skills.
They did not expect that the test this time would be this.
Xiao Xiaolong and Yu Fu looked at each other and saw the will to fight in each other's eyes.
Then, Bu Fang prepared the piping hot tofu for them to compete with each other.
During this half a month, Xiao Xiaolong did not slack off. It could be seen from his cutting skill that was not inferior to Yu Fu's.
However, Yu Fu was not bad either. This serpent-woman always had a tenacious and indomitable will. She had an indescribable determination toward cooking.
Her cutting skill was also very strong.
The two of them calmed their hearts and focused their attention on making the Thousand Layer Tofu Flower.
This was a competition that tested their cutting skills and stamina.
After a short while, the two of them finished their respective dishes.
It was very beautiful. Although the two Thousand Layer Tofu Flowers had flaws, one could not help but admit that they were really beautiful.
The fluff-like shredded tofu swayed in the crystal cup. It was so beautiful that it could move one's heart.
The final result made Xiao Xiaolong despair. The winner was still Yu Fu. Yu Fu's cutting skill was more exquisite than Xiao Xiaolong's.
As a punishment for his failure, Xiao Xiaolong once again received the heavy kitchen knife from Bu Fang and began to practice his cooking skills.
Yu Fu looked at Xiao Xiaolong's unwilling face and happily covered her mouth.
"Alright, the competition is over. You can practice your cooking skills," Bu Fang said calmly. After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the kitchen.
However, he was stopped by Yu Fu's charming voice.
"Owner Bu … I … I might have something to do." Yu Fu wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Hmm?" Bu Fang was puzzled.
"A few days ago, I received a letter from my father … He wants me to return to the serpent-men tribe. It's an important matter." Yu Fu was a little hesitant.
Bu Fang suddenly understood. It turned out that Yu Fu wanted to apply for a leave of absence.
This was naturally allowed. Bu Fang was not an evil chef. If he wanted to imprison serpent-women apprentices, he would naturally allow it.
"Go early and come back early. Don't forget to practice your cooking skills in the serpent-men tribe. When you come back, you will still have to compete with Xiaolong," Bu Fang said seriously.
Yu Fu's nervousness immediately dissipated. She heaved a sigh of relief and happily nodded her head.
However, under Yu Fu's happy expression, there was a hint of worry. This was because her father knew that she was learning culinary skills from Owner Bu. However, he still wanted to call her back. It was obvious that there was an important matter.
What was it that made her father so anxious to call her back?
Bu Fang turned around and left the kitchen. Outside the restaurant, customers were still streaming in. The restaurant had begun its business for the day.
Today, the little girl Ouyang was unexpectedly absent. She must have gone to break through after eating the Premium Wok of Fortunes.
However, it was not a big deal.
Bu Fang was curled up in his chair. He seemed to be quite relaxed. Occasionally, he would go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes that were more difficult.
However, some of the dishes that were quite expensive were rarely ordered.
Bu Fang was happy to be free. As he curled up in his chair, he was pondering over the dishes in the menu. He was thinking about how to improve them and how to cook them to make the taste better.
Customers entered and left the restaurant one after another. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very lively.
Suddenly, a large group of people rushed into the restaurant.
Bu Fang, who was curled up in his chair, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze fell on the group of people and he was slightly surprised.
This was because this group of people was actually a group of armored guards.
The guards were naturally very respectful toward Bu Fang. After all, the restaurant was famous in the Imperial City.
However, the man at the front, whose body was covered with horned dragon-like muscles, had a cold expression on his face. He was staring at Bu Fang.
Hmm? Bu Fang raised his eyebrows and looked back at him without fear.
One of them was standing straight, while the other was curled up in his chair. Their gazes collided in the air.
After staring at each other for a long time, Bu Fang rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The man finally opened his mouth. The moment he spoke, his tone was somewhat unfriendly.
"Are you the owner of the restaurant who killed two of our Godly Temple's elders? Don't you need to give us an explanation for killing our Godly Temple's experts? "
