Chapter 379: Ji Chengxue's Request

Translator: CatatoPatchEditor: Vermillion

Far away from Bu Fang and Blacky, Ji Chengxue only dared to approach the store after seeing that Bu Fang returned in satisfaction. His entire body was trembling all over as he approached the store. He was extremely afraid of Blacky. It suddenly raised its paw without any reason… Was that paw something which could be so casually raised?

That paw once slapped a Supreme-Being to death… How could Ji Chengxue not be afraid?

Ji Chengxue only dared to approach the store after seeing that Blacky had turned its attention to the porcelain plate in front of it. When he saw Blacky stuffing its face with Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Ji Chengxue led his eunuchs and cautiously entered the store.

Today, he had some matters which he wanted to discuss with Bu Fang.

After entering the store, Ji Chengxue couldn't help himself. He took a deep breath as the air in the store was filled with a fragrant and sweet smell. He really enjoyed it.

He didn't immediately look for Bu Fang and discuss the matter. Instead, he looked for a seat and ordered some dishes. Of course, he ordered a bottle of the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine to go with his food.

After eating and drinking, he declared:

”Owner Bu... This sovereign has something to talk to you about.” Ji Chengxue addressed the issue as he gazed toward Bu Fang, who was curling up on a chair.

Bu Fang squinted his eyes as he turned his head to look at Ji Chengxue. There was a puzzled look on his face.

”You should also be aware of the extremely terrifying fight which occurred between Supreme-Beings. Almost half of the Imperial Capital was destroyed in that fight. Countless citizens became homeless after it… They became somewhat... dispirited.”

Ji Chengxue sighed as he slowly spoke.

Bu Fang quietened down and he didn't utter a word. He stared at Ji Chengxue with no change in his expression.

”This sovereign earnestly requests that you can cook some dishes for the citizens. I want to use your delicious dishes to calm them down and bring them some relief.” Ji Chengxue sincerely looked at Bu Fang.

This was the solution he came up with after thinking about it for a long time. Owner Bu's dishes were able to please everyone. This should be a good solution to alleviate the citizens' grief.

However, he wasn't sure whether Bu Fang would be willing to cook for them. Of course, he had no idea how much payment Bu Fang would demand.

After all, it would take a huge amount of food to satisfy the number of people Ji Chengxue wanted to feed. Bu Fang had to cook for half of the population in the Imperial Capital… That was a lot of food.

After hearing Ji Chengxue's request, Bu Fang looked at him in astonishment. He would never have expected that Ji Chengxue's request would be to cook.

Bu Fang didn't reject his request. After all, he was the reason why the fight between the Supreme-Beings occurred. He could be considered somewhat responsible for the destruction of the Imperial Capital. He definitely would not mind cooking for them.

He already convinced Blacky to follow him out for the mission. As such, he would be leaving the Imperial Capital after three days.

Thus, Bu Fang knew that he had to start early in order to complete Ji Chengxue's request in time.

After Bu Fang informed Ji Chengxue about his conditions, a trace of excitement appeared on Ji Chengxue's face.

As long as Bu Fang was willing to do it, everything would be fine. As for when the request was completed, the earlier the better! Bu Fang saying that he would complete the request within three days wasn't considered a condition at all.

They agreed that the event would be set for the next day.

After Ji Chengxue returned to the Imperial Palace, he immediately ordered for people to disseminate the news. The news that the black-hearted store's owner would cook for all of the citizens in the Imperial Capital quickly spread through the city.

Everyone was excited and looking forward to it.

The reputation of that shady store was increasing significantly in the Imperial Capital. Everyone, from four-year-old kids to those old men who were in their eighties, knew about the store.

How could they not get excited when they heard that the owner of such a famous store would cook for them?

There were even some people who were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep at night.

...

On the following day, when morning came, Bu Fang crawled out of his bed pretty early and went to the kitchen to practice his cutting and carving skills. After he was done practicing, he prepared several folds of the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for Blacky who was lying beside the door. He opened the store after he fed Blacky.

Xiao Xiaolong and Ouyang Xiaoyi appeared at the entrance of the store before long.

Bu Fang left Xiao Xiaolong in the store and he brought Ouyang Xiaoyi along with him as he walked towards the Light Wind Empire's Imperial Palace. Since he accepted Ji Chengxue's request, he would naturally keep to his word.

Yesterday, he already informed Ji Chengxue about all of the ingredients he required. Ji Chengxue said that all of them would be prepared before Bu Fang arrived. Bu Fang was now going over to the main hall in order to process and deal with the ingredients.

...

The Light Wind Empire's Imperial Capital, the Gate of Heavenly Mystery Square.
