The next morning, Bu Fang sleepily got out of bed. As he was washing up, his mind sank into the system and looked at the panel.
After checking the progress of his true energy, he realized that he would be able to complete the upgrade soon. He was currently a third grade Battle-Maniac. Once he reached a value of one thousand crystals, he would be able to reach Battle-Spirit. At that time, his control of true energy would become more proficient.
"What exactly is that God of Cooking Set … I'm really curious. However, I've already collected three pieces. I should be able to collect all of them after the next upgrade," Bu Fang muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs.
Then, he went to the kitchen and began his daily training of cutting radishes.
After cutting the radishes, Bu Fang walked to the entrance of the store and opened the door. The air seemed to have become even colder and the cold wind was slightly bone-chilling as it hit his face.
After glancing at the snoring Blacky, Bu Fang turned around and returned to the kitchen. After training for a bit, the fragrant Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs was ready to be cooked.
"Blacky, it's time to eat." Bu Fang placed the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in front of Blacky. Blacky immediately became energetic.
Fatty Jin and his army of fatties came as usual and left after eating breakfast. Coming to Bu Fang's place to eat seemed to have become a habit for them. Even though Bu Fang's dishes were expensive, Fatty Jin was a tycoon … He did not lack money.
Ever since Xiao Yue was blown out of the store by Blacky's sneeze, he had never returned. It was as if he had completely evaporated from the Imperial City. However, Bu Fang did not mind. At most, he felt that it was a pity that there was one less customer.
In the alleyway, a bone-chilling autumn wind blew. Ji Chengxue, dressed in a white robe, slowly walked over. His face was fair and gentle, and his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was constantly smiling.
"Good morning, Owner Bu." Ji Chengxue greeted Bu Fang warmly. Bu Fang nodded his head lightly and responded with a soft "En".
"Your Highness, why are you here so early today?" Ouyang Xiaoyi looked at Ji Chengxue, who had just stepped into the store, and asked in puzzlement.
Ji Chengxue patted Xiaoyi's head and chuckled, "Big Brother wants to eat Owner Bu's dishes as soon as possible today."
"What are we eating today?" Bu Fang asked.
"Give me a portion of every dish. After this time, I don't know if I will have the chance to taste Owner Bu's cooking again," Ji Chengxue said with a sigh.
"Hmm? What's wrong? "Bu Fang asked in puzzlement. Ouyang Xiaoyi was also looking at Ji Chengxue with a strange expression.
Ji Chengxue's gaze was a little gloomy. He simply said, "Nothing, it's just some family matters. I will be leaving the Imperial City tomorrow. As for when I will return, I'm not sure either."
"Got it. Wait here." Bu Fang expressionlessly nodded his head. He turned around and entered the kitchen. Then, he came out with a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and directly tossed it to Ji Chengxue.
Ji Chengxue caught the wine and was slightly startled. Then, he gently smiled, removed the seal, and poured a cup of wine.
Bu Fang also poured a cup. He raised his cup and lightly clinked it with Ji Chengxue, saying, "I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Hahaha, thank you, Owner Bu. Then, can today's meal be free of charge? Or a discount? "Ji Chengxue drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and lightly laughed.
Bu Fang indifferently glanced at him and expressionlessly refused. "No."
Then, Bu Fang turned around and returned to the kitchen to start cooking other dishes.
The sound of footsteps once again came from the alleyway. Three figures slowly approached.
"Your Highness is so elegant. You've arrived so early." Xiao Meng slightly bowed toward Ji Chengxue with a straight face. Behind him were the Xiao siblings, Xiao Xiaolong and Xiao Yanyu.
Xiao Yanyu's complexion was much better. It seemed like the Sage Herb Phoenix Chicken Soup had taken effect.
"General Xiao, you must be joking. Aren't we leaving for the war tomorrow? I'm here to eat Owner Bu's food for the last time so that I won't get greedy in the army." Ji Chengxue chuckled. He also prepared a cup for Xiao Meng and poured him a cup of wine.
Xiao Meng was silent for a moment. He lightly sighed and received Ji Chengxue's cup of wine.
The two of them sat down and drank with each other.
Ouyang Xiaoyi reported the names of the dishes ordered by the Xiao Family to Bu Fang. Bu Fang indicated that he understood.
One after another, fragrant dishes were carried out by Ouyang Xiaoyi and placed on the table. These were all ordered by Ji Chengxue. He was extremely satisfied while drinking wine and eating the delicious dishes.
"General Xiao, I wonder how my elder sister is doing recently?" Ji Chengxue lightly sipped a mouthful of wine and looked at Xiao Meng with a complicated gaze.
Xiao Meng slightly furrowed his brows. He raised his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. He lightly exhaled and dejectedly said, "She's still the same. She's in a state of suspended animation. Even the imperial physicians can't tell what's wrong. It's been three years. I wonder when Ru'Er will wake up."
"Elder sister is a virtuous person. She will wake up one day," Ji Chengxue consoled.
Ji Ru'Er, Ji Chengxue's elder sister, was also Xiao Meng's wife and Xiao Yue's mother … Three years ago, Xiao Yue sacrificed his mother's heart's blood to his sword and comprehended the true essence of the way of the sword, causing Ji Ru'Er to fall into a coma. Now that three years had passed, Ji Ru'Er still showed no signs of waking up.
During these three years, Xiao Meng had searched the entire Light Wind Empire for all sorts of miraculous doctors in order to save Ji Ru'Er. However, he had yet to succeed.
For this matter, even a seventh grade Battle-Saint like him was so worried that his hair had turned white. For someone with such a high cultivation level, this was simply inconceivable.
"Actually, I don't dare to ask for too much. Even though Ru'Er is in a coma, she's not dead. This is already a good thing for me. The reason I came here today is to ask Owner Bu if there's any way to save Ru'Er. I'm just trying everything in a desperate situation." Xiao Meng frankly told Ji Chengxue the purpose of his visit.
Ji Chengxue nodded. Bu Fang's medicinal cuisine could allow Xiao Yanyu, who was on the verge of death, to recover from the severe loss of her life force. It might be able to save his elder sister, who had been in a coma for three years.
A glimmer of hope involuntarily emerged in his heart.
Afterward, the two of them no longer spoke and continued drinking. During this time, Xiao Meng only warned Ji Chengxue about some matters regarding the expedition.
Even though Ji Chengxue was a prince, he was still the third son. His mother was only an imperial concubine in the imperial harem and did not have a noble status. She could not compare to the crown prince, Ji Chengan, and King Yu, Ji Chengyu. The emperor did not think highly of him either. If it were not for Xiao Meng, his brother-in-law, Ji Chengxue might have been killed by the crown prince and King Yu a long time ago.
The imperial family had no relatives, this was not a casual saying.
"When you go on an expedition to a foreign sect, you must ensure your own safety. You must remember, even though the emperor does not think highly of you, you are still a prince, a noble prince," Xiao Meng seriously said.
Ji Chengxue simply nodded and raised his head to drink.
Just as the two of them were drinking and chatting, the sound of a cough came from outside the door. An elderly figure wearing a brocade robe slowly walked into the store.
Ji Chengxue and Xiao Meng's gazes naturally fell on the person who had just arrived. Their expressions immediately stiffened and then their pupils constricted, filled with disbelief.
