Chapter 401: A Peerless Delicacy, The Thorny Pufferfishs Meat (2/2)

A fragrance slightly similar to that of crab meat and egg wafted out of his mouth. The fragrance was a mixture of countless aromas. It seemed to ferment within Bu Fang's mouth, releasing an aromatic essence that caressed his taste buds. Stimulating his taste buds, the fragrance caused all the pores on his body to open up involuntarily. As soon as the soft meat from the Thorny Pufferfish's made contact with the insides of his mouth, it left Bu Fang with a unique experience.

He had perfectly grasped the Thorny Pufferfish's cooking and heating procedures, so the meat didn't end up tough at all; instead, it was extremely soft and tender, and so the meat's freshness was perfectly preserved.

As the fresh taste slid along Bu Fang's throat and into his stomach, it seemed to glow within his belly, sending streams of light through his skin, causing his body to glow.

Of course, all of that was just an illusion, however, and he was the only who saw it.

Bu Fang was slightly astonished, seeing as the fresh taste of the Thorny Pufferfish's meat greatly surpassed his expectations. He subconsciously lowered his head and gazed at Shrimpy, who lay atop his shoulder, rolling its compound eyes around.

Was it all because of Shrimpy?

It turned out that this little thing could improve the freshness of a dish. To Bu Fang, such creature was a truly rare treasure.

Yu Fu also scooped a bowl of the soup for herself. She took a piece of the Thorny Pufferfish's meat and placed it in her mouth, and instantly, that mouthful thoroughly conquered her; after all, she had never eaten such a delicious dish before. This dish tasted better than any dish on the menu of Fang Fang's Little Store. It left a deeply profound impression on her.

It turns out that dishes could actually be this delicious.

She assumed that the dishes served at Fang Fang's Little Store had already reached the pinnacle of gourmet delicacies, so she hadn't expected to come across a dish even more delicious than those.

She lifted the small bowl to her rosy lips, basking in the hot steam that arose from the bowl, and it caused her sight to become slightly blurred. When she took a light sip out of the soup, her eyes immediately widened. What a delicious soup!

After she finished drinking the soup, Yu Fu felt as though her body had begun to heat up, leaving her completely captivated by the soup. It had thoroughly intoxicated her.

With an expression of content on his face, Bu Fang ate piece after piece of the Thorny Pufferfish's meat.

After watching the duo eat for a while and taking note of their infatuation-filled faces, Wu Mu and the Serpentine Sovereign began to desire a taste for themselves.

Seeing as Bu Fang had been eating it contentedly for a while, this Thorny Pufferfish's meat ought to be safe for consumption. If it contained poison, Bu Fang would have died already.

Wu Mu scooped a bowl of the soup and took a piece of the Thorny Pufferfish's meat.

After he drank that bowl, Wu Mu's eyes began to glow, and he felt as though all the pores on his body had almost burst open. It could only be described with a single word: 'pleasurable'.

”Owner Bu's dishes… truly are delicacies of the highest quality.” Wu Mu sincerely praised them.

After the Serpentine Sovereign ate a mouthful of it, she lost her restraints and kept eating. She had never eaten such a delicious dish before. There was no room for comparison between her imperial chefs' dishes and Bu Fang's.

Bu Fang drank the last mouthful of soup in front of the spectators and their gazes filled with longing. He put down the bowl, then stroked his belly, feeling content, and exhaled a hot breath.

After he drank the last mouthful of the soup, the system's solemn voice resounded in his mind.

”Congratulation to the host for completing the temporary mission: obtaining the precious ingredient within the big crystal mine and using it to cook a dish. Mission reward: twenty percent increase in your true energy cultivation.”

When he heard the system's words, Bu Fang couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Although the system hadn't granted Bu Fang his reward, he still felt excited. He surmised that after the system granted him his reward, his cultivation would probably advance, and he would break through into the eighth grade War-God realm. When that happened, his battle prowess would experience a considerable improvement, and he would become more capable of easily and perfectly processing ingredients.

Bu Fang wasn't anxious that he hadn't received the reward yet; he knew that the mission's reward would only be granted to him when he returned to the store. After the surge of excitement, he calmed down.

After they had eaten the dish, the Serpentine Sovereign's gaze toward Bu Fang changed. She could still feel some heat emanating from her stomach, and it seemed like the heat source releasing spiritual energy into her, which faintly increased her cultivation.

It turned out that Yu Fu was studying culinary arts with such a chef. The prospects were limitless.

Owner Bu's methods were even more impressive and mystical than an alchemists', and thus they couldn't be disregarded.

Wu Mu was about to say something when some experts from the White Cloud Villa hurried over and whispered something into his ear. Whatever it was, caused Wu Mu's expression to become grave. He quickly bid farewell to Bu Fang and left in a hurry.

Wu Mu was anxious and impatient because his daughter, Wu Yunbai, had been kidnapped by the experts from the Grand Barren Sect, so he hurried off to rescue her.

He brought the White Cloud Villa's Supreme-Beings along with him and directly charged toward the Grand Barren Sect's warship.

The Serpentine Sovereign had completely changed her opinion of Bu Fang after eating one of his dishes, and she now agreed that Yu Fu's prospects would be bright if she studied culinary arts from Bu Fang.

However, as the Serpentine Sovereign, she also had her own difficulties.

She brought Bu Fang and Yu Fu into the imperial palace, and after she drove away everyone in there, the three of them began to discuss privately.

Half a day later, their discussion ended, and the imperial palace's doors were slowly opened.

The Serpentine Sovereign sincerely expressed her thanks to Bu Fang and watched him carry the black dog and leave.

Yu Fu remained beside the Serpentine Sovereign. She gazed at the departing Bu Fang with reluctance, but a trace of firmness glowed within her eyes.

She would vigorously practice her culinary arts, even if it would have to be within the Serpentine Sovereign's imperial palace, and she would surely amaze Bu Fang with her achievements the next time she saw him.

Strong gales whistled, and a hurricane rose beside Bu Fang.

He slightly stroked Shrimpy, who lay on his shoulder, and grabbed Blacky, who was sound asleep, then stepped into the hurricane.

The array above him had been formed by countless mots of white light, and it shook the moment he stepped into it.

When the hurricane disappeared, Bu Fang had vanished.
