1310 An Outstanding Bargain! (2/2)
Prison Overlord Ying Long slowly opened his eyes. Lightning arcs were jumping around his body, and his aura had grown several times stronger, which made him appear extremely fearsome.
With a dragon roar, he suddenly soared into the sky and turned into an enormous Ying Dragon. He had a long body like that of a divine dragon, a pair of wings on the back, and dark golden scales.
His roar kept spreading and rang through the whole Earth Prison. He was very excited. At his age, he never thought that he could break through again, and it was all because of a glass of wine. It was a wonderful feeling.
”The wine is worth its high price.”
Ying Long transformed back to his human form. Holding the Hollow Eye Staff, he looked excited and amazed as he turned his gaze in the direction of Forbidden Soul City. He held back his excitement and didn't go to the city at once. Instead, he calmed down and began to stabilize his cultivation base.
…
Meanwhile, the various forbidden lands in Earth Prison had received the information from the experts they sent out.
The breakthroughs of Prison Overlord Ying Long and Nether King Er Ha were all because of a glass of wine that came from a little restaurant in Forbidden Soul City.
The news had even spread to Nether Prison. However, as Nether Prison experts were still celebrating their victory in the Netherworld's Tournament of the Great Path, they scoffed at the news and thought it was fake news deliberately created by Earth Prison to win back some faces. They didn't take it seriously at all.
The forbidden lands of Earth Prison were naturally not like that. Each of them sent out an expert to Forbidden Soul City, who was ordered to bring back a glass of wine, and each of these experts brought several million Nether Crystals. Whether or not the rumor was true, if there was such wine, there was no harm for them to give it a try.
For a moment, a storm swept across Earth Prison, and various powers began to move, sending one expert after another to Forbidden Soul City. The once quiet and remote city was once again bustling with activities after the semifinals of the tournament was over.
…
Bu Fang opened his eyes and yawned. His clothes were a little messy, and so was his hair. However, he felt his body, soul, and mind were much clearer now.
”Oh? My cultivation base…” He paused for a moment and examined his strength. Previously, there was only one spinning whirlpool in his spirit sea, but now there were two. Did this mean that his cultivation base had entered the Two-revolution Little Saint Realm?
”I thought dishes are ineffective in improving my cultivation base?” Bu Fang was surprised. He never thought that after drinking a glass of wine, his cultivation base would actually break through a level.
In any case, it was a good thing for his cultivation base to break through because that gave him more confidence.
Upon sensing that he was dirty, he stepped into the bathroom. Hot water sprayed out of the shower-head, and soon, steam filled the whole bathroom. The dim yellow light shone on the steam and made the atmosphere somewhat languid.
After taking a shower, Bu Fang walked out of the bathroom. He was clad in a bathrobe, and his hair was wet, dripping with water. He rubbed his hair with a towel, but it was still a little wet. However, he didn't bother with it anymore. Instead, he put on his Vermilion Robe. The sun was up, and it was time to open the restaurant.
He had a good sleep. He felt that his mental force seemed to have improved slightly after sleeping.
Bu Fang went downstairs and came to the kitchen. Whitey's mechanical eyes flickered, and he patted it on the belly.
”Another beautiful day…” Bu Fang said with an expressionless face.
After practicing his knife techniques for a while in the kitchen, he came to the dining area.
”You're awake, Bu Fang boy,” said Lord Dog in an amused tone as he lay under the Path-understanding Tree, looking at Bu Fang, whose hair was still wet.
”I've slept a little too long, but the wine tasted really good. It's worthy to be the fine wine made with the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass,” Bu Fang nodded and said.
He didn't notice the teasing tone in Lord Dog's words, and he thought the amused look in Lord Dog's eyes came from something he did when he forgot himself in his cup. At this moment, he could only keep a calm and straight face so that it would not be too embarrassing.
With a creak, Bu Fang opened the restaurant's door. Sunlight shone through it and pooled on the ground. He slightly narrowed his eyes as the sunlight dazzled him.
He paused for a moment when he saw the long line outside the restaurant, then he said with a straight face, ”Oh? So many people… You all came really early.”
Outside the restaurant, when the heads of aristocratic families who had waited for so long saw Bu Fang open the door, they felt like crying.
”Early? Early, my ass… We've been waiting here for a whole day and a whole night!” said a family head, glaring at Bu Fang. His eyes were bloodshot and looked extremely terrible and ferocious.
One whole day and one whole night?
That gave Bu Fang a pause. Then, he seemed to recall something, and the look on his face turned slightly odd.
'I've slept for one day and one night after drinking a glass of wine? I thought I've only slept for a night? No wonder Lord Dog looked at me with such a strange expression.'
”Queue up properly. The little restaurant is open now,” Bu Fang said calmly with a straight face. After that, he turned and walked into the restaurant.
The family heads exchanged glances and watched as he left. They felt pain in their teeth at Bu Fang's calm look.
”This guy had slept one whole day and one whole night! Didn't he feel embarrassed at all?”
However, now was not the time to think about this question. The heads of aristocratic families crazily rushed into the restaurant.
Bu Fang stood at the kitchen door and turned around. He looked at the people at the front door and said indifferently, ”Queue up properly and do not push others.”
…
Outside Forbidden Soul City, a clump of black smoke hovered in midair, where a figure loomed.
”It seems that… this chef was the target Chief asked me to assassinate before?”
The shadow was lost in thought for several moments.
”I tried to assassinate him before, but now, I need to buy wine from him… This is embarrassing. Chief simply didn't consider our feelings when assigning tasks…”
…
The ground crumbled, and skeletons crawled out of it, closing in on Forbidden Soul City. These skeletons all had blue ghostly fire twitching in their eye sockets.
A silver skeleton stood in front of these skeletons. At the moment, it was touching its chin with a skeletal hand, thinking.
Suddenly, the ghostly fire in the silver skeleton's eye sockets twitched. It looked up and saw a clump of black smoke hovering in the sky. ”A guy from the Black Temple…”
”A skeleton from the Cave of the Fallen Gods…”
There seemed to be some rivalry between the two.
Suddenly, both of them turned to look in a direction at the same time, and they saw a figure in bright red robes approach from the distant horizon, striding with her long legs as her curvy waist swayed enchantingly.
