The third year and eleventh month of Shenyuan.
Winter was about to arrive. The earth was withered and yellow, and everything was bleak.
The passersby on the road all shrunk their heads and looked up. Although the weather was not very cold, there were no longer any exposed legs or arms. It was as if everyone felt an indescribable chill.
Inside Vigilante A's farm, it was still as warm as spring.
In the restaurant, a hot pot feast was taking place on the dark green dining table.
Tofu, enoki mushrooms, green vegetables … They were all boiling in the hot water. They looked ordinary, but they emanated a fragrance that even the gods couldn't resist.
This smell could only be smelled in the heavens, how many times could one taste it in the mortal world?
Unlike before, there was only one guest, and that was the Bodhisattva Spirit King …
The other party had just personally delivered the checkpoint construction secret technique for the Space Passage, and Vigilante A was holding a banquet to welcome him.
"Don't worry, it's all vegetarian. There's absolutely no meat at all. Bodhisattva, you can enjoy it without worry …" Vigilante A advised eagerly.
That was right, this was Sir System's generous reward.
However, from Fang Ning's point of view, it was still quite reliable. At least it did not come up with a bunch of really "generous rewards" … That would have been utterly embarrassing.
"Hehe, even when I attended the Ten Thousand House Banquet hosted by the Buddha, I didn't have such delicacies. I'm ashamed to accept your generous reward, Venerable One." The Bodhisattva put his palms together and expressed his gratitude.
"Well said, well said. Bodhisattva, enjoy to your heart's content."
"If that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony." Bodhisattva rolled up his sleeves with one hand and held the chopsticks with the other. Then, he began to eat.
He only used a piece of tofu and took two bites. Then he praised sincerely, "Such skill is close to saintly. However, Saints were high and mighty, so why would they get close to a kitchen? If one did not personally taste it, it would be hard to imagine that such a divine art could exist in this world. As expected, as long as life lasts, miracles will never cease. "
However, even though he said that, he only ate a mouthful of tofu and stopped talking.
"Eh, Bodhisattva, why is that?" Vigilante A asked in surprise.
"Hehe, if I take one more bite, I'm worried that after so many years of cultivation, I won't be able to control my appetite and break the precepts …" Bodhisattva Spirit King shook his head and sighed.
There was an irrepressible regret in his tone.
"The Bodhisattva is indeed an expert …" Vigilante A was impressed.
"Look at you, Mr. Rich Boss. There's really no comparison. When can you cultivate to the level of Bodhisattva? If you don't play a game for three days, you'll feel uncomfortable all over. The Bodhisattva was able to control himself in the face of my Legendary Level Culinary Skills. He's a master after all. You should really learn from him, control your desire to play games and do more work. "Sir System took the opportunity to teach Fang Ning a lesson.
"Alright, alright, stop lecturing me. If I become a Bodhisattva, will there be any meaning for your existence? You are like the Golden Circlet on Sun Wukong's head. When he achieves enlightenment and no longer acts out of line, it will naturally disappear. Don't tell me you want to disappear too? "Fang Ning said confidently.
"Eh, why do you always have so many fallacies?" Sir System said angrily, "But my intuition tells me that you're right. This really makes me depressed."
"Hahahaha, it's good that you know." Fang Ning said proudly.
Just as they were talking, the air above the emerald green dining table rippled, and a green insect the size of a palm appeared.
As soon as it appeared, it quickly crawled towards the hotpot.
Although it was green all over and had a camouflage effect, who were the two people eating at the table?
They immediately stared at it.
"Eh, Father Chong isn't eating anymore. Aren't I here to help?" Chong Daqing raised its head and said embarrassedly.
"Oh, then you're really a filial insect …" Vigilante A said expressionlessly.
"Of course, I've always been an obedient child." Chong Daqing said confidently.
"Hehe, it's fine. I can't break my vows, so Daqing can clean the pot …" Bodhisattva said with a smile.
"Father Chong still loves me …" Chong Daqing sat beside the hotpot proudly. Without using chopsticks, it opened its mouth and swallowed the food.
Not long after, the whole pot of delicious food was gone.
"Eh, why am I full?" Chong Daqing was satisfied, but suddenly wondered, "That's impossible. I should have eaten another hundred pots, a thousand pots …"
Bodhisattva Spirit King heard this and could not help but frown. He then lectured, "Daqing, being an insect is the same as being a human. Remember not to be too greedy. It's more than enough to eat one pot of such precious delicacies. "
"Eh, I'm just curious. I shouldn't be full so quickly." Chong Daqing blushed. "Great Azure Dragon, are you afraid that Father Chong will eat too much, so you added something that will make you full?"
"Hmph, why would I be so petty?" Vigilante A said lightly, "I think you're going to turn into a chrysalis, so you'll feel full easily when you eat."
"What?" Chong Daqing heard this and jumped three feet high. It hung in the air and did not come down. "That's impossible. I've never thought of turning into a butterfly! If I turn into a butterfly, how am I going to eat? Will I just suck some soup every day like them? I might as well become a ghost. "
"Hehe, there's a cause and effect. Last time, you swallowed an entire arcane realm, that's the cause. Today is the effect. "Bodhisattva shook his head and smiled.
"No, I don't want to turn into a chrysalis or a butterfly." Chong Daqing jumped onto Bodhisattva's head and pulled a few strands of hair from his temples. "Father Chong, you must have a way."
"Uh, come down first."
"No, if you don't tell me the way, I won't come down. I'm not hungry anyway." Chong Daqing said confidently.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Brother Dragon." Bodhisattva said helplessly. "That's easy, but are you willing to give up all your power? You should know that after you turn into a butterfly, you'll be the first insect in the world with great supernatural power. Your future will be limitless. "
"If I can't eat, then my future will be bleak." Chong Daqing did not listen to him at all.
"Sigh, maybe this is an unshakable destiny. Personality and environment determine everything." Bodhisattva shook his head and sighed. "You should think more about it …"
"No, I don't have to think too much. The world is big, but eating is the most important." Chong Daqing pulled his hair and swung it back and forth.
"Sigh," Bodhisattva sighed again. "Alright then, if that's the case, don't waste your power. I'll think of a way."
"That's good. Now that you've said it, I'm a little hungry again. Great Azure Dragon, give me two more pots." Chong Daqing said confidently.
Vigilante A did not move.
What a joke, Sir System was not someone that could be ordered around by just any insect …
Fang Ning could not bear it and advised, "It won't be able to eat much, just give it another pot."
"Ugh, you always feel sorry for others," Sir System nagged. "You should know that that pot wasn't made casually. I used a lot of expensive ingredients, or else I wouldn't have received such high praise from Bodhisattva. Listen, even Buddha's vegetarian banquet can't compare. "
"You're so short-sighted. Don't you think about what Chong Daqing said just now?" Fang Ning suddenly thought of something.
"It's the short-sighted one. It doesn't want power, and it doesn't want to turn into a butterfly just for a bite of food. I can't understand it." Sir System said in disdain.
"Yeah, it doesn't want power, and you don't want it either?" Fang Ning asked.
"Of course I want it. Power means safety." Sir System said with conviction.
"Yeah, if we pick out an evil spirit and let Bodhisattva transfer it … Moreover, this can be recycled. The next time it's full …"
"Ugh, I understand now. You're so smart, Mr. Rich Boss." Sir System was once again convinced. "You're really useful from time to time. I used to want to cripple you, but now it seems that I was too short-sighted. You're really full of surprises."
"Ah, what did you just say?" Fang Ning was shocked.
"Nothing, you heard wrong. I'll give Chong Daqing another pot, no, another nine pots." Sir System quickly changed the topic.
Not long after, nine mouthfuls of fragrant hot pot were served on the turquoise table.
"I knew it, Great Azure Dragon. You're still on my side. Father Chong, you can think of a way to give the power that I don't want to him. Just treat it as money for my meals in the future." Chong Daqing said proudly.
