1369 Nine Years! (2/2)
It was the longest period of peace Bu Fang had had since he came to this strange world. He spent nine years in Yellow Spring Little Restaurant. Occasionally, he would close the door, leave the restaurant, and let Nethery bring them to various ancient cities with her Netherworld Ship to search for Earth Prison delicacies. Sometimes, they would venture into lofty mountains and dangerous places in search of rare games.
It was really nice to experience Earth Prison's culture. Along the way, Bu Fang also learned a lot of new things, and his cooking skills also made remarkable progress.
These nine years were the nine years for Earth Prison to recover its strength, and they were also the most important nine years for Bu Fang to consolidate his cooking skills and cultivate his sentiments.
Nether King Er Ha was forced to enter the Demon Passes again. He still had three levels to go through, and Tian Cang and Ying Long had been forcing him to do it. In the eighth year, he finally went through them, and his cultivation base had broken through to the Nine-revolution Great Saint level as well. Such progress was very fast, but it was not easy at all, and there was even the risk of death. In any case, since Er Ha had gone through them, Tian Cang felt happy for him.
The rest of the time, of course, was spent on consolidating his cultivation base.
After passing the Demon Passes, Er Ha had only one dream left, that was, to eat spicy strips for the rest of his life.
For Earth Prison, nine years was only a very short moment. After all, the life of a Great Saint was extremely long. However, nine years was not short either, at least for Bu Fang.
During the nine years, his restaurant had accumulated a considerable amount of revenue, which had reached a critical point of the System's target. Bu Fang felt that he was going to break through soon, even without cooking any special dishes or getting any additional Nether crystals. This kind of breakthrough was actually the most normal one.
…
The Netherworld Ship tore apart the void, floating in front of Yellow Spring City with all its tall buildings. Bu Fang and Nethery jumped out of the ship and returned to the city.
Foxy had grown up a lot and even got herself one more tail, and her strength had become much stronger with the nourishment of countless delicious food.
Flowery came to Earth Prison by herself from Immortal Chef Little Store. This Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python's strength had also grown significantly. Perhaps because of the food she ate, she had become more charming, and her cultivation base had also stepped into the Great Saint Realm.
Seven-colored Sky Devouring Pythons were, after all, ancient savage monsters. When they reached their adulthood, their strength was no less weaker than that of the previous Lord Dog. In other words, as soon as Flowery came of age, she would have the strength of a Perfected Great Saint.
Naturally, Bu Fang would not let go of a talent with such great potential. What's more, as Flowery grew up, she became more and more beautiful. She had become a sight to behold in Yellow Spring City, attracting the attention of countless people. Many men flocked to the restaurant just to see her.
However, this little girl was truly a descendant of the savage monster. She was extremely cold and proud, and she was even more indifferent than Bu Fang. And since she had learned to strip clothes from Whitey, she had taken on the task. Every day, she would cause some trouble and strip someone's clothes…
Nethery, Flowery, and Bu Fang walked slowly along the street, while Foxy was wagging her four tails merrily and hopping about beside them.
The streets at night were filled with the rich aroma of food from street stalls. All of them did not open until evening, a bit like the stall Bu Fang used to run in the Immortal Cooking Realm.
Even at night, Yellow Spring Little Restaurant's door was still open. Many noble ladies in the city were gathering in front of the restaurant, each with a feverish expression on her face. They dared not come in the daytime for fear of being labeled as troublemakers, stripped of their clothes, and thrown out of the restaurant. But in the evening, they went crazy.
They came for one reason only, and that was a waiter in the restaurant—Tian Cang. Known as a lady-killer, all these noble ladies were fascinated by him.
Tian Cang was helpless in this situation. He actually wanted to be a low-key waiter and live a quiet life. However, he was destined to be extraordinary with his handsome face. Even as an ordinary waiter, he still shone like a diamond in the dark.
The restaurant door closed with a thud, shutting out the screaming noble ladies. Bu Fang and the others, returning from a trip, were already accustomed to this.
Lord Dog lay fast asleep under the Path-Understanding Tree. Even though he had become a Demigod, he was as lazy as ever and had even grown fatter.
Bu Fang went into the kitchen and cooked a plate of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Dragon Blood Rice, and other delicious dishes. After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms and began to prepare for another day.
…
In the boundless starry sky, a ripple suddenly spread as a silver-white metal warship slowly flew over. The ship was huge and exquisitely made, divided into nine layers and with every part of it finely carved. Emitting a pale blue light, it was completely surrounded by an energy shield.
With a creak, a metal door slowly opened at the top of the warship. A figure walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and stood in front of the ship, looking straight at the huge landmass that was the Netherworld not far in front of him.
”So this is the newly born… great world? Nine years ago, when that man provided us the coordinates, he said this place is just a cluster of small worlds. I thought I had found a treasure,and yet when I arrived, it has become a great world recognized by the Laws of the Starry Sky… What a pity.”
