676 Wenren Shang’s Kitchen Knife (1/2)
Outside the Glutton God City, the Sunset Lake had waves rising up to the sky. The swimming fish shot everywhere as though they were sharp arrows that had hit hard on the shore, leaving many large and deep dents.
The water in the lake grumblingly rose when a silhouette crawled out of the lake. Its scale-covered claws patted on the shore.
A moment later, the giant body got out of the water together with a rising tidal water current.
It was a giant alligator.
The alligator then opened its mouth, showing its jaw with many sharp teeth, sparkling and reflecting light.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
When the alligator crawled, the ground shook with each step. A while after it had left, the surging lake finally subsided and calmed down. The water ran back furiously, damping the ground.
Although the ground was shaking, the alligator didn't roar. It just slowly crawled away with long strides.
...
On an auspicious and peaceful village around the Glutton God City, the sunlight was shining. There were streets with food aroma permeating from the restaurant and inns. They were having good and bustling business, indeed.
A beautiful married woman stepped out of her kitchen. She was holding a basin with washing water as she wanted to pour it away. The water sparkled beautifully under the sunlight. After a ”swish,” the water was splashed away. It was still steaming hot, anyway. She had finished and was about to return to her kitchen.
All of a sudden, she was bewildered because when she turned around, she found the sky turning dark.
”Ah, why it's getting dark that fast?”
The woman mumbled as she was somewhat skeptical. Then, she lifted her head to check the dark sky.
She was petrified.
The washing basin in her hand fell on the ground. She shivered for a while before she could scream.
Sky? There was no sky… It's a giant paw that covered the sky…
The beautiful woman screamed ear-piercingly. However, the giant claw fell down with a loud rumble. After a loud boom, the entire restaurant became a ruin under the giant claw. The beautiful woman was also crushed in just a blink.
The village had an uproar instantly. The frightening feeling expanded. The four giant claws continually stomped, crushing the entire village. Shortly, it had become a ruin.
People ran and rolled away. They were all horror-struck.
They all ran toward the Glutton God City. Facing this kind of monster, only the imposing Glutton God City could save them.
The giant alligator hissed, then accelerated toward the Glutton God City.
...
By the Sunset Lake, a woman in a long black dress that revealed her slender thighs tiptoed and floated up into the air. She was extremely gorgeous, and her exquisite face was like a delicate masterpiece of carving arts.
She stood by the Sunset Lake, furrowing her beautiful brows. Looking at the traces the giant alligator left, she was solemn.
”That monster is heading towards Bu Fang…”
She muttered then flew away, with her hair fluttering in the wind as she followed the giant alligator.
...
”I'm in a hurry, so... There you are.”
Bu Fang's words had silenced many people, and many of them looked speechless.
In a hurry… That's why he had chosen a chef from the Top 10 Chefs of the Tablet of Gluttony?
Was he in a hurry to get kicked out?
It was what the majority thought. Although Wenren Shang wasn't that famous in the Glutton God City, it was just because of his personal matters. Regarding talent for cooking, not many people could beat him.
He was considered Bai XiaoShang of the chef's world as he could cook any dish. No matter what kind of ingredients he got, he could cook all delicacies with perfect tastes. As he could become one of the Top 10 Chefs of the Tablet of Gluttony, of course, he was competent.
When Wenren Shang heard that Bu Fang wanted to challenge him, he was surprised at first. Then, he grinned, sitting upright, pouring the liquor in his bamboo gourd into his mouth.
”Is it me that you want?” asked Wenren Shang.
The other chefs looked at them with interest. Many people didn't know Bu Fang's ability, but they all knew Wenren Shang's. If this man weren't an alcoholic, he would have got to Top 3 Chef of the Tablet of Gluttony already!
This fellow's talent for cooking was so stunning.
Anyway, Ouyang Chenfeng wasn't really optimistic. He had experienced Bu Fang's cooking. He knew Bu Fang's cooking couldn't be assessed with normal standard. Who knows… Maybe he did have a chance to knock Wenren Shang down!
”Yeah, it's you. I've prepared the cooking ingredients,” Bu Fang said, then flipped his hands. Two Heaven-Swallowing Spiritual Spot Fish fell into his hands.
Heaven-Swallowing Spiritual Spot Fish?
Wenren Shang was perplexed, and so were the other chefs around them.
The Sixth Elder was bewildered, and even Chu Changsheng had to frown.
Heaven-Swallowing Spiritual Spot Fish… Interesting. Young men these days did have courage. This wasn't a bad ingredient to cook, but it required sharp knife techniques. Normally, not many people had the guts to cook with this kind of ingredient.
