Chapter 400: Shrimpy, What Are You Doing? (2/2)

Bu Fang's complete attention was on the dish, so he didn't notice its actions.

The golden mantis shrimp stared at the soup within the wok, which was gradually taking on a red luster, and a trace of confusion flashed through its eyes. It started moving down Bu Fang's shoulder.

Suddenly, it jumped. Its golden body glittered within the dense steam, and while it was airborne, it waved its sickles and rolled its compound eyes.

A sharp ”plump” resounded in the kitchen.

The fragrant soup immediately splattered its immediate surrounding, causing Bu Fang, who had been completely focused on it, to jump in fright.

”What the hell? Shrimpy, what are you doing?”

Bu Fang's complexion became grave. He never expected the golden mantis shrimp, which had been extremely peaceful all along, would cause trouble for him at such a moment.

When it leaped off Bu Fang's shoulders, the golden mantis shrimp rotated a full 360 degrees in the air before diving gracefully into the soup… Did it took it for a swimming pool?

Bu Fang's face darkened.

Yu Fu widely opened her mouth in astonishment at the scene she had just witnessed.

It was her first time seeing an ingredient jump into the wok of its own accord. It was truly astounding.

Shrimpy's body glittered, and it waved its sickles and squinted its compound eyes. Its face was brimming with satisfaction as it swam around and proceeded to dive deeper into the soup.

Bu Fang was perplexed. Was this shrimp really taking a warm and relaxing bath in the soup?

Suddenly, Bu Fang, whose mind was still telepathically linked to the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, squinted his eyes.

He felt a strange and peculiar fluctuation emanating from Shrimpy's body. A golden luster surged from the golden mantis shrimp. It flowed into the soup and seeped into the meat of the Thorny Pufferfish's meat, tenderizing the meat of the Thorny Pufferfish, causing it to unexpectedly soften.

Bu Fang's complexion became slightly strange. Did this golden shrimp mantis have such an ability?

Bu Fang didn't let it bath in the wok for too long. The longer the golden mantis shrimp bathed in the soup, the more golden energy it emitted.

Too much of the golden energy… wasn't good.

Hence, Bu Fang used his true energy and scooped out the fellow from the soup.

The golden mantis shrimp seemed slightly displeased by the unceremonious act, and it bent its body and moved its small feet around.

”Don't cause any more trouble. If you cause trouble again, I won't just use you as an auxiliary ingredient, I will directly make you the main ingredient.”

Bu Fang lifted the small creature and calmly said.

Shrimpy seemed to understand Bu Fang's words, and its body immediately stiffened as it started feigning death.

Bu Fang threw Shrimpy, who was still feigning death, onto his shoulder and resumed observing the ingredients in the wok. The unexpected benefits caused him to nod his head in satisfaction.

He took the Thorny Pufferfish's skin and waved his knife, cutting it up nicely before tossing it into the soup.

With a resounding rumble, the intensity of the flames seemed to surge, bathing the immediate surrounding with the intense light from its bright flames.

In just a short while, the soup started boiling and emitted an alluring fragrance.

Its aroma was rich, fragrant, and mellow. The fragrance contained the faint scent of wine, an overflowing spirit essence, and the aroma of the Thorny Pufferfish. It was only after all these elements had coalesced that an extremely intoxicating fragrance, which could captivate anyone's heart, came into being.

The rich fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, and the serpent-men who were in the immediate vicinity stiffened and twitched their noses, sniffing the alluring fragrance.

”It's so fragrant, ah!”

”What is this aroma? Why is it this fragrant?”

”I have lived for so long, yet I have never once smelled such a remarkable fragrance. It seems capable of drilling into your heart and cause you to yearn intensely for it.”

”Ah! I can't bear it!”

The stimulation caused by fragrance made the people around start tweaking their ears and kneading their cheeks. Even a peak Supreme-Being expert like the Serpentine Sovereign was affected; She smacked her lips and looked expectantly at the kitchen.

She never expected that such a fragrance could waft out of the kitchen.

It was no surprise that Wu Mu praised the human kid's culinary arts, it was... truly and excessively exceptional.

Faced with such a fragrance, the imperial chefs of her Grand Serpentine City were all utterly defeated. They didn't even need to taste this dish. Only it's aroma was enough to defeat countless imperial chefs.

Countless expectant gazes immediately locked onto the kitchen.

Eventually, the long-awaited moment arrived, and the tightly shut kitchen door began to open. As it opened, the fragrance, which had been constrained within it, seemed to perceive a way out, and it burst out of the kitchen.

The sudden fragrance eruption caused whistling gales, and countless people were even incapable of opening their eyes.

However, they were delighted, joyful and almost went crazy sniffing the complete fragrance.
