Gourmet of Another World

The clear and crisp footsteps rang out in the huge hall, lingering in everyone's ears.     

Everyone slightly froze, raising their heads to look toward the imperial hall entrance.      

Empress Bi Luo furrowed her brows, looking in the same direction. There, a lean figure slowly walked over.      

Chi Si's gaze also turned, shock and curiosity spreading across her face.     

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.      

Although they were women, they were used to being talkative. But under the terrifying pressure and might of the High Priestess, they did not dare to speak a single word.     

However, this did not stop the shock from appearing on their faces.     

That man still dared to appear?      

My god…. This man was indeed bold to the heavens!     

Is he not afraid of death?     

Right now, the High Priestess was possessed by that unparalleled existence in the God Vanishing Mountain.     

It was incomparably terrifying!     

That man changed the sacrificial dishes, which was equivalent to offending the unparalleled existence. Is he not afraid of being killed?     

However, many people admired Bu Fang in their hearts.     

At least he dared to appear and not let the innocent Jing Yuan take the blame for him!     

In the distance…      

Nether King Er Ha and Nethery narrowed their eyes.     

"Every time Bu Fang young man appears, he's always so flashy." Nether King Er Ha bit the Spicy Strip as he said to Nethery beside him.     

His voice was not loud, but within the imperial hall, it was as clear as those footsteps that had reached everyone's ears.     

Empress Bi Luo turned her head to glare at him, signaling him to shut up.      

However, Nethery could not help nodding, agreeing with Nether King Er Ha's opinion.     

On the other side…      

The High Priestess' movements froze.     

In the next instant, she slowly raised her head. That ice-cold, emotionless gaze that looked down on people fell on Bu Fang.     

Bu Fang slowly walked over, the red-and-white Vermillion Robe fluttering as he advanced.      

Holding a dish, he met the High Priestess' gaze, which caused his pupils to involuntarily shrink. His heart seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.     

What a terrifying gaze.      

"It was me who changed the recipes, and it was me who cooked the sacrificial dishes as well… Why make it difficult for that girl?" Bu Fang calmly said.     

His face was expressionless, and his voice clearly rang across the entire hall.     

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Those words were like thunderclaps, exploding in their ears.      

This… This man!     

How bold!      

Did he not know who he was facing?!     

That's the unparalleled existence in God Vanishing Mountain!     

Even the previous Nether King respected this existence, but this man... What right did he have to run his mouth off?      

Empress Bi Luo involuntarily rolled her eyes.      

Is this guy an idiot?     

The High Priestess, at this moment, was the true unparalleled existence in the entire Goddess City. Who dared to go against her?      

He actually dared to open his mouth to scold her…      

Did he drop his brains while making the dishes?     

"Are you talking to me?"      

The High Priestess' ice-cold gaze locked onto Bu Fang. Her face, which seemed like an ice block that was frozen for a thousand years, did not change. The exquisite makeup drawn on her face caused the High Priestess to be like a true incomparable empress.     

"You want to die?"     

However, after Bu Fang's words fell, the palm that was about to land on Jing Yuan's head was slowly retrieved.      

The pressure on Jing Yuan's figure suddenly shifted, falling onto Bu Fang's body.     

Boom! Boom!      

The onlookers seemed to hear a sound coming from the illusionary void.      

That terrifying voice made everyone's hearts jump.     

Bu Fang's brows furrowed. It felt like there was a pressure on his shoulders, as if there was a massive mountain on it.      

This made him shocked.     

It had to be known that… with the system, he should not feel any trace of pressure!      

But, at this moment, he felt a little pressure from this woman!      

This was the unparalleled existence of the God Vanishing Mountain? The forbidden land expert that Lord Dog was so afraid of?      

"Hu…" Bu Fang gently let out a breath.     

Jing Yuan, who had escaped from the pressure, suddenly sat down on the floor. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her clothes had instantly been soaked, causing them to stick on her body.     

That pressure that seemed to send her deep into the abyss was incomparably hard to bear.     

"I…" Jing Yuan opened her mouth but realized her throat had become hoarse, so she let out a dry cough.      

This cough instantly broke the silence of the imperial hall.     

She fearfully glanced at the High Priestess before turning her head to look at the side, saying in a hurried voice, "Quick, bring in the sacrificial dishes!"      

Swish…      

A wave of footsteps rang out.     

Within the shadows, three maids wearing sacrificial clothes walked over in a panic, each of them holding the sacrificial dishes.      

This scene made the surrounding people slightly chatter.     

Some gave a breath of relief.      

As expected of the great chef Jing Yuan, who had cooked many imperial feasts, her planning was thorough.     

This way, that existence's fury should be suppressed…      

Bu Fang held a dish in his hand. Seeing this scene, his brows involuntarily furrowed.     

The High Priestess' condescending gaze turned, landing on the three maids' figures. Looking at the dish in their hands, her gaze slightly wavered.      

In the next instant, a wave of even more terrifying energy spread out from the illusionary void.     

Everyone's hearts seemed to be held by a formless hand.     

Not daring to let out a breath, the air seemed to have been frozen into ice.     

"You dare to trick me?!" The High Priestess' ice-cold voice rang across the illusionary void.     

In the next instant, her hand waved.     

The three maids instantly felt a chill crawl across their bodies, making them stagger backward. A moment later, the three dishes in their hands were wrapped in a formless energy, directly shattering…      

With a bang, they exploded. The dishes turned into ashes as they scattered across the floor, the fragrance of the dishes spreading out everywhere.     

Three maids' faces turned as pale as a sheet. Then, they hurriedly crouched on the floor, looking like they were about to cry.      

Empress Bi Luo shook her head as she looked at Jing Yuan. "This girl… tried to be clever, but it backfired."     

Jing Yuan's mind went blank. She did not think that the High Priestess' reaction would be so violent.      

A trick?     

How was it tricking her?     

Jing Yuan had no idea what to do now.      

"Those who tricked me will forever fall into the Yellow Springs!"     

With a sudden boom, the High Priestess' long robe fluttered, and a finger shot towards Jing Yuan's brows.      

Wherever that power passed, everything would shatter, and the illusionary void seemed to be twisted as well.     

This hand… Even Empress Bi Luo sucked in a breath of cold air.     

Chi Si's eyes shrank, and her lips paled…      

Lin Damei widened her eyes. She did not think that the joyous imperial feast would suddenly turn so hostile!      

Jing Yuan sat dazed on the spot, utterly losing her ability to think.      

Is she going to die?      

Would she die just like this?     

That terrifying power caused her entire body to feel numb. She felt like her world was crumbling.     

Suddenly...     

A figure appeared in front of her.     

That figure's scarlet long robe billowed as flaming wings spread out, scattering fiery feathers everywhere!      

Boom!      

Bu Fang's face turned pale, and his figure continuously retreated many steps.      

His brows furrowed as he sucked in a breath of cold air.      

With the invincibility of the Vermillion Robe, he blocked this one blow, but the aftermath had almost caused him to be sent flying out.     

"One, wasting food is not right."     

"Two, the mistakes in the recipe you gave were too many, so correcting them is all for your benefit."     

"Three, you have no right to lay a hand on my apprentice… I'll teach her myself."     

Bu Fang held a plate with one hand while the other patted the Vermillion Robe on his body, looking at the High Priestess expressionlessly.     

The surrounding people were dumbfounded!     

This man… had actually blocked a blow from the unparalleled existence?!     

Even if it was just a strand of consciousness of the unparalleled existence in the High Priestess' body, that was not something that a Three-star True Immortal Realm expert could block!     

Of course, this was not important...     

The most important thing was that… you little chef had actually mentioned three faults of the unparalleled existence?      

How awesome is this little chef?     

Are you going to ascend to the heavens with a kitchen knife?!     

Lin Damei's shock could not be hidden, her mouth widening into a circle.     

Chi Si looked at Bu Fang, then watched the scared Jing Yuan with fear in her heart.     

The Empress remained sitting on her spot. Crossing her legs, her pale legs showed a stunning curve as she watched playfully.      

Nether King Er Ha excitedly bit onto the Spicy Strip.     

Is Bu Fang young man… going to stir something again?     

The High Priestess' gaze slightly changed, as if a trace of curiosity had appeared. Those pupils stared hard at Bu Fang, seemingly tearing through time as they locked onto his body.     

"Hm?"      

Suddenly, the High Priestess gave a gentle 'eh.' Then, her icy expression suddenly melted, turning into a gentle smile.      

That smile caused the world to seem like there was a lack of brilliance. Even the onlookers felt ashamed at their inferiority.      

Bu Fang sucked in a breath of cold air.     

Is this woman crazy?!     

Why is she smiling like that?      

"A little interesting… Your energy is very familiar. A thousand years ago, I seemed to have met it before," the High Priestess said.      

These words caused Bu Fang's eyes to shrink.     

His spirit sea, at this instant, was suddenly stirred, raising terrifying high waves.      

The Golden Divine Dragon suddenly let out a roar.      

The Black Turtle cried out.      

The Vermillion Bird gave a long chirp.     

Even the sleeping White Tiger opened its eyes. The fur on its entire body exploded, its roar soaring to the heavens!     

At this moment, the four great tool spirits had actually become cautious.     

Bu Fang had naturally noticed the strange reactions of the four great tool spirits. He was shocked as he had never seen them like this before.      

Bu Fang raised his head to look at that woman.      

The High Priestess still playfully smiled as she looked at him.     

No…      

Bu Fang had a feeling that the other party was not looking at him, but at… the four great tool spirits in his spirit sea!      

Bu Fang had a feeling that, if this woman took another step closer, she would even be able to see the system in his body!     

Holy cow!     

Is this woman a beast?!      

Suddenly, that woman took her gaze away.      

"Since you let me reminisce about the energy from many thousand years ago, I will not talk about the matter of fooling me… But, do you know how important the sacrificial dishes are to me?"     

The High Priestess' long robes billowed as she stared at Bu Fang.      

Bu Fang touched his nose. There was even such reasoning?      

However, the other party not being nitpicky was good too, or else he really might not be able to protect Jing Yuan, unless Lord Dog was here.     

However, Lord Dog seemed not to want to see this woman from the God Vanishing Mountain.     

Gently exhaling, the corners of Bu Fang's mouth slightly lifted, sounding confident as he said, "It was because I know how important it is, so I helped you change the recipes. As a chef that is going to stand at the top of the world, how can I cook a recipe that is filled with flaws?"     

The High Priestess' eyes narrowed.     

"Don't worry. Just give the dishes I cooked a try. There might… even be a surprise."     

"Also, I added a dish for you… It will fix the flaws in your recipes."      

"Spring Wind, Summer Wound, Autumn Obscurity, Winter's Mourning, this is the completed… Immortal Medicinal Cuisine."      

As soon as Bu Fang finished speaking, the sound of loud heartbeats rang out.      

The Heart of Cooking Path pulsated. At the same time, a strong wave of confidence surged out from his body.      

He gently threw the dish on his hand.      

Instantly, it turned into a comet, shooting towards the dining table.      

Soon, it landed on the spirit gold dining table, joining with the other three sacrificial dishes.      

Boom!      

In the next instant, the magic array spun even faster. The steam, fragrance, and spiritual energy of the four dishes surged into it.      

The High Priestess' eyes shrank.     

The surrounding people also sucked in a breath of cold air!
