977 Born to Slap Faces (1/2)

Manager Chen used his jade chopsticks to pick up the soup dumpling, bringing his lips down to the cut that Bu Fang made on it.

Suddenly, his eyes bulged so much that they almost fell out of their sockets.

His shocked expression silenced the entire room.

So hot. It was as hot as lava erupting from an active volcano.

Clear spring water from the bun entered his mouth, permeating every corner of his oral cavity.

The scalding liquid made Manager Chen's face redden, and he even struggled to breathe.

Gulp.

However, he could not help himself and swallowed the hot soup, which slid down his throat into his stomach.

When the burning sensation reached his stomach, he felt as though it would explode.

Logically, such a sensation should bring nothing but harm, but instead, Manager Chen felt satisfied!

Indeed, it was satisfying!

After the burning sensation subsided, the delicious soup, which seemed perfect, stimulated his taste buds.

Its delicious taste made Manager Chen squint his eyes and caused his mustache to quiver.

At the same time, steam continued to swirl above the soup dumplings.

Perceiving more of the pleasant fragrance, Manager Chen chewed enthusiastically.

The Crystal Glazed Soup Dumpling was so elastic and soft. Some air remained trapped within its skin, and the moment Manager Chen bit into the dumpling wrapper, the trapped air erupted, assaulting his senses. It was a brand new experience and taste.

This soup dumpling's wrapper…

Manager Chen was skeptical. Recalling the unique way Bu Fang kneaded the dough, his eyes became stern.

That violent kneading technique had thrilled him.

Was the soft and elastic dumpling wrapper a result of that violent technique?

The dough was kneaded that way to make the dumpling's skin elastic. It seems that it even had pores in which the chef's true energy was stored during the kneading process.

Just by having it in his mouth, Manager felt small true energy explosions in his mouth.

The explosions were not fierce, and neither did they irritate whoever ate it. It was just right, generating a pleasant taste.

However, the soup dumpling's filling was much more prominent than its skin.

Five types of spirit beast meat had been used to make it, and one of them belonged to an immortal ingredient.

Manager Chen remembered the Precious Chicken. Although it was not mature, when filled with immortal energy, the young chicken tasted much better than the other ingredients used to make the filling.

As for the other spirit beasts' meat used for the stuffing, they belonged to creatures that once flew in the sky, swam in the sea, and ran on land.

These different spirit beasts' meat had been combined to create an exceptional taste capable of making people sink into it.

Chomp. Chomp.

Manager Chen squinted his eyes.

After savoring the immortal energy swirling around the soup dumpling, he put it into his mouth.

When he bit into it, his eyes sparkled, and soon, it found its way into his stomach.

Manager Chen's pupils dilated, and he turned to look at Bu Fang in disbelief.

When Bu Fang saw the reaction, he became bewildered.

That look… It was as though he meant to say, ”Why is it so… hot?”

This Crystal Glazed Soup Dumpling made Manager Chen's true energy surge turbulently along with his spirit sea.

His cultivation base had advanced further, and it wasn't just by a little.

”Your soup dumpling...”

Manager Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. This dumpling was capable of increasing his cultivation base?

In Immortal City, the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion had judged a lot of chefs from many forces. However, it was rare for them to see dishes that had the same boosting effect.

Since this kind of dish could be met but not required, it was really precious in Immortal City.

In short, recipes like these were controlled by aristocratic families, as they were classified as precious treasures.

Hence, the dishes with boosting effects were all very rare.

This soup dumpling... had been prepared by a mortal. It was incredible that it could permanently increase one's cultivation base without any side effects. This kind of boost was amazing.

Manager Chen's eyes sparkled. This mortal wasn't ordinary at all!

Without paying his surroundings any mind, Manager Chen picked up another soup dumpling and tossed it into his mouth, eating it whole in one go.

The moment his teeth sank into it, a short, squishy sound rang out as the soft wrapper was torn, causing the soup to gush out.

Manager Chen trembled. His face reddened, and his eyes became bloodshot.

As the hot soup deluged his mouth, it no longer flowed like a gentle spring. Instead, it erupted like a raging waterfall.

Although Manager Chen trembled as though he was being electrocuted, he felt really refreshed.

There was only one word to describe this feeling—pleasurable!

As the audience watched Manager Chen eat soup dumpling after soup dumpling, their expressions turned awkward.

Manager Chen was a highly respected person in the Immortal Kitchen Pavilion. Since he was in charge of the Immortal Chef test, his position wasn't ordinary at all.

Although he wasn't an Immortal Chef himself, he had eaten so many dishes cooked by Immortal Chefs.

It's almost impossible to see him wolf down food this way!

Are those soup dumplings really that delicious?

When they perceived the aroma lingering in the air, the audience couldn't help gulping down.

Perhaps… it really is delicious!

Suddenly, the audience became frightened. That was because they had almost missed a fact.

”Has this mortal… become a real Immortal Chef?”

”There are five soup dumplings. Do they all have immortal energy?”

”It looks really awesome. Those soup dumplings look delicious!”

The audience became uneasy and began to raise a clamor. This time, however, their words were not filled with disdain.
