Chapter 218: How About I Serve as the Guardian of this Small Resturant

Translator: CatatoPatchEditor: Vermillion

Yu Fu ladled a spoonful of piping hot Dragon Blood Congee into the waiting celadon bowl, where the vitality energy within soon surged and coalesced. Using a porcelain spoon, she carefully scooped up a bit of the congee and cooled it with a blow. As she did so, that dragon-like vitality energy dissipated, leaving behind a rich fragrance.

This was a bowl of Dragon Blood Congee and not some dessert congee. Because Wandering Dragon Cow Meat was added into the mix, the congee was slightly salty and that was reflected in the fragrance that wafted across the room.

The slightly red congee was carefully fed to the unconscious Yu Feng, and after two small bowls of it, the snake-man's countenance began to show some visible improvement. Instead of that deathly pale hue he had before, there was an increasing redness in his cheeks.

Unlike the previous time, the effect of the elixir cuisine was a lot more pronounced. The moment the third bowl was finished, Yu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, revealing what looked like vitality energy swirling within his pupils.

A surge of energy waves rushed out of his body and blew away Yu Fu, who was in the midst of preparing another spoonful of congee.

Humm...

As if a ripple of energy was roiling about within him, Yu Feng's entire face turned blood-red like it was on the verge of bleeding.

An instant later, he spat out a mouthful of black fluid that filled the area with a pungent stench.

Previously, the serpent-man's reaction wasn't so pronounced. The fact that he acted this way had exceeded Bu Fang's expectations, though it didn't cause him much panic in the end because it was precisely the kind of effect he was looking for.

This single bowl of congee was packed full of ingredients which contained vitality energy. Just that Blood Crown alone was enough to cause Yu Feng to awaken. Adding in Dragon Blood Rice to supplement its effect made the efficacy of the elixir even more pronounced.

Yu Feng's aura surged for a moment before finally stabilizing a while later. As his inky black hair dryly slapped against his face, his contaminated sweat continuously rolled down his face, following the curve of his lower jaw till they finally dripped onto the floor.

These droplets contained within them the impurities of his body. Upon replenishing his vitality energy, his metabolism recovered as well, signifying that he had completely recovered.

”Father!” Yu Fu cried out, excited to the point of weeping. This journey of recovery was truly a dangerous one, fraught with so much hardship that almost made her lose her life multiple times. Looking at the recovered Yu Feng, there was nothing that could have pleased her more right now.

Yu Feng's eyes had a certain depth to it now. Reining in his aura, he threw his daughter a loving look before nodding at a visibly excited Ah Ni standing right beside her. Finally, he turned his eyes to Bu Fang.

With a wave of his snake tail, he came up to Bu Fang and shook his hands while sincerely thanking him.

”My gratitude, Owner Bu, for the elixir. Such a massive favor is one Yu Feng will never forget.”

Narrowing his eyes for a moment, Bu Fang eyed the snake-man who had recovered thanks to his miraculous elixir cuisine, with admiration and jubilation filling his heart as he accepted the serpent-man's gratitude for his hard work.

”There's still a bowl of Dragon Blood Congee left over there. Once you finish it, your injuries should be completely healed up,” Bu Fang said.

The serpent-man nodded his head and thanked Bu Fang once more before slowly finishing up the last bit of congee.

While that bowl of congee was medicinal in nature and filled with overwhelming vitality energy, it was also a rare delicacy to be savored. As the snake-man downed the congee, a sense of satisfaction filled his heart. By the end, he almost swallowed his own tongue by mistake as he slurped up the last bit of congee.

”Owner Bu's culinary skills are truly a marvel. Once more, I extend my gratitude for Owner Bu's aid. I'm not sure if we will ever be able to return this massive favor!” As he said that, the serpent-man looked Bu Fang right in the eyes.

Bu Fang, on the other hand, merely brushed it off with a wave of his hand. ”I don't need you guys to do anything for me. My Ice Soul Monarch Lotus was obtained from your tribe and thus I promised your high elder that I would save you. This is an equivalent exchange between us. There's no need to harp on it.”

Even though he said that, the serpent-man, Yu Feng, still knew deep down in his heart that this act of saving him wasn't something a mere Ice Soul Monarch Lotus could compare to. Although it was a valuable ingredient, Yu Feng knew very well that this bowl of congee contained at least two other ingredients that were just as valuable as said lotus.

”If Owner Bu doesn't mind... how about this one acting as a guard for him. In a vast city like the imperial capital, it must be hard for Owner Bu to run his business... While this one might not have too many skills, his cultivation is at least decent...” Offered the serpent-man after a moment of contemplation. For a top seventh grade Battle-Saint of the serpent-man tribe to act as a chef's bodyguard, that should be more than enough to repay the favor he was shown.

And yet in the face of this request, Yu Fu and Ah Ni displayed a rather curious expression.

Stunned, Bu Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the moment…
