560 Pill King Mu Bai, White Demon Jiang Ling (2/2)

This was because she never thought that Bu Fang would so quickly fulfill the promise he had made to her in the past. Bu Fang had promised that he would make Cloud Mist Restaurant famous and guaranteed her that the restaurant would not decline in his hands.

In the end, he had fulfilled his promise. Today, Cloud Mist Restaurant was famous in Heavenly Mist City and throughout the Pill Palace. This reality had exceeded her imagination greatly, as though it was now in the realms of fantasy.

Hence, Yang Meiji was very emotional. Although she also glanced at Bu Fang, she did not say anything.

Bu Fang, who knew what she was feeling, patted her shoulders silently.

When the others saw the huge woman become emotional, they felt a bit weird.

”Keep it up! The championship is definitely yours!” Yang Meiji clenched her hands into fists and shouted words of encouragement as Bu Fang walked away.

Bu Fang froze for a moment, then he continued to walk onward.

The Central Plaza, which was destroyed in the last match, had now been completely restored. The new platforms atop the stage were gold in color, not bronze.

Under the sunlight, that golden platforms dazzled brightly, making the audience feel even more excitement!

When Bu Fang ascended the platform, he realized that he was the first party to arrive. This left him surprised.

Suddenly, tremors spread outward from the entrance, and the entire ground soon began to tremble.

Someone slowly came in from the entrance. This person was carrying a huge alchemy furnace on his back. The furnace was pitch-black in color, and it had mysterious lines engraved on it.

The handsome Mu Bai walked in through the entrance with a smile on his face. He had donned a green robe and was slightly bending his waist. Every step that he took caused the ground to tremble!

When the audience saw him arrive, they raised an uproar in excitement.

Pill King Mu Bai. He was favorite to emerge champion in the Magical Hand Conference. His alchemic abilities were just too great, and his talents were demonic; no one could stand up to him.

However, a dark horse chef had appeared all of a sudden, casting doubt over a result that was originally set in stone.

Hence, Pill King Mu Bai had decided to get serious. He couldn't afford to do otherwise; the pressure Bu Fang placed on him was simply too great.

”It's a nine star furnace! Oh my god... Even this type of mythical alchemy furnace has been brought out!”

”A nine star furnace? Isn't that the alchemy furnace which the Pill Master of Pill Palace used once before?”

”I heard that Mu Bai was recognized by the Pill Master of the Pill Palace and has been receiving pointers from him. Now, it seems to be true!”

…

With wide eyes and bated breaths, the audience watched Mu Bai slowly ascend the platform, one step at a time.

Even the Pill Master of the Pill Palace had used a nine star furnace before. The furnace gave a huge boost to refinement. The moment Mu Bai whipped out that alchemy furnace, the champion title became his!

Dong!

A loud sound rang out as Mu Bai slammed his alchemy furnace onto the platform, causing the latter to tremble. Mu Bai heaved in a deep breath, loosened his muscles, and nodded at Bu Fang, with a smile on his face.

When Bu Fang caught sight of the alchemy furnace, he narrowed his eyes before returning Mu Bai's gaze. ”The energy emanating from the furnace is not ordinary. This Mu Bai really does have some ability. It looks like this match… will be a tough one.” However, Bu Fang was not nervous; this dish he was going to make this time, with Shrimpy's help, made him completely confident.

Three people were to compete in this match, aiming to emerge champion. Their places were to be decided based on the rating of the audience.

There were three golden platforms on the stage but only two contestants; therefore, one contestant had yet to arrive.

The audience did not care about the last contestant, though. To them, he was just cannon fodder. Everyone had their attention on Mu Bai or Bu Fang. The third contestant, whoever he was, was of no importance.

Da da da…

Quiet footsteps echoed at the entrance of the arena, and a beautiful person walked in. This person soon entered the audience's field of view. She had a great figure, but she looked like an average alchemist. The only visually captivating feature she had was her pure white hair, which drew some attention toward her.

So, the third contestant was a woman?

A woman with pure white hair?

However, when many members of the audience finally laid eyes on the woman, they froze momentarily before sucking in breaths of cold air.

This woman… was somehow familiar?!

A gust of wind blew past Mu Bai causing his hair to flutter and his green robes to sway. He casually turned to look at the third competitor, who was leisurely walking toward the stage. When he spotted her face and white hair, his pupils dilated, and he stiffened in place.

”It's her?!” Mu Bai deeply sucked in a breath, and his expression turned solemn.

The woman walked up the stage, and a slight breeze caused her hair to flutter gracefully. However, a horrifying pressure was being emanated from her body, and this caused the hearts of the onlookers to lurch; they didn't dare to make a single sound.

Mu Bai and Bu Fang also felt the pressure.

When she ascended the stage, Bu Fang frowned, but the woman only smiled meaningfully at him in reply.

”You are the famous dark horse of the conference? Very good… I enjoy trampling on dark horses the most.” After she'd said that, the woman shifted her gaze to Mu Bai, who was still frozen stiff with a solemn expression on his face.

”We meet again. This time, you won't be as lucky,” said the woman gently, but the audience felt a wave of killing intent.

Mu Bai's pupils shrank, and he whispered, ”White Demon Jiang Ling?!”

”That's right; it's me. Have you two made your preparations to be crushed?” asked the woman, smiling as she ran a hand through her gently fluttering white hair.
