1456 You Value Reputation More Than He Does (1/2)

The woman's movement wasn't drastic, but it attracted the attention of all. Everyone in the Divine Chef Temple knew her identity, and they had great respect for her. As the deputy of the Divine Chef Temple, she deserved to be taken seriously by everyone.

Bu Fang opened his eyes. His divine sense had calmed down. After absorbing those fragments, the divine power—the Wok Tossing Style of Affliction—had been deeply engraved in his mind. He comprehended it naturally. This was his second divine power. Of course, as a divine power that wasn't comprehended by himself, it might not be as formidable as he'd imagined, but it was still stronger than the average divine ability.

He glanced over his shoulder at the woman behind the railing. She was slowly removing her mask. She had just revealed her fair chin, but that already attracted everyone's eyes like the brightest star in the night sky.

One of the most interesting things about a woman was her appearance, more so when the woman was wearing a mask all day long. So everyone was very curious about the face under that mask. Normally, a woman with such a good figure would not look bad. She might even be a peerless beauty.

Therefore, her action turned everyone's admiration for Bu Fang's record-breaking achievement into curiosity about her appearance.

Above her fair chin was a pair of moist red lips, perfectly curved and looking very seductive. They immediately drew everyone's eyes. The Divine Chefs breathed faster. Bu Fang also watched curiously. It was pure male instinct. Bu Fang was a man, too.

The mask was finally removed. However, everyone was struck dumb because… there was no face under the mask. Or rather, no one could see her face clearly.

Like teleportation, the woman vanished and appeared in front of Bu Fang. The hem of her dress didn't even move. ”Congratulations on breaking the second seal…” she said. Her voice was no longer cold, and she was chuckling gently, which scratched at the hearts of those who heard it like a little hand.

That stunned Bu Fang. 'Why did this woman's attitude change so fast? A moment ago, she said she was going to kill me, and now, she was smiling at me. Are women really so fickle?' The corner of his mouth twitched.

Nodding, he rose to his feet. He was a little tired. Although his divine sense had recovered, physical and mental fatigue made him want to fall asleep on the bed with his head covered. Since he became a God, sleep was no longer necessary, so it was an incredible feeling.

The woman could tell that Bu Fang was tired. She flipped her hand and produced a cake, which seemed to be made of jade and was emitting a rich, delicious aroma. ”Eat this, and you'll feel refreshed. It's a classic delicacy of the Divine Chef Temple, and it can restore your divine sense and refresh the mind in a short time after eating,” she said.

A steaming, flat round pancake appeared in his grip. He took a deep breath and gave it a bite. A crackling sound rang out as he rolled up an oyster with his tongue, pulled it into his mouth, and swallowed. The air was filled with a delicious aroma as Bu Fang ate the pancake happily.

The woman's face froze. She glanced at the cake in her hand, then at the steaming and aromatic oyster pancake in Bu Fang's hand. Quietly, she put away the cake.

”I said that I won't kill you if you can break the second seal. In fact, I'll even give you a reward.”

”A reward?” Bu Fang was still eating the oyster pancake, with oil trickling down from the corners of his mouth. He gave her a puzzled look, and as he spoke, the aroma of the pancake went blowing into her face.

The woman's red lips twitched in an instant. 'This smell is really… tempting,' she thought. ”You won't be disappointed with this reward…” She gave Bu Fang a deep look and smiled meaningfully.

That smile, however, made Bu Fang's hair stand on end. He felt that the woman was up to something.

”The inheritance has a third seal, but you can't break it now unless you have broken through to the realms of the Earth Divine Chefs or the Heaven Divine Chefs. But you have broken two seals, and that's more than enough. Come with me.”

She grabbed Bu Fang by the shoulder, and with a humming sound, they both vanished from where they stood.

The oyster pancake nearly fell out of Bu Fang's hand. ”The Law of Space is really… convenient,” he sighed. The world around him flashed, and the next moment, he found himself in a huge circular council hall, with formidable experts sitting around a table.

When they sensed the woman's aura, these experts opened their eyes. Bu Fang immediately felt glances shooting at him from all directions, pricking him like needles. He frowned and sucked in a cold breath.

The cultivation bases of these old men were incredibly strong. None of them was a God King, but the weakest among them was a high-grade God, who proved to be much stronger than Mo Feng, the high-grade God of the Mo Family he had slain with a slash. Moreover, the auras of the other old men were as vigorous as the sun. Without a doubt, they were the trump cards of the Divine Chef Temple.

”This is the council hall for the elders of the Divine Chef Temple, and the men you see are all the Temple's higher echelons. Every one of them is a Peaked Earth Divine Chef,” the woman introduced.

”Peaked Earth Divine Chefs? No Heaven Divine Chef?” Bu Fang asked, then took another bite from the oyster pancake. Its juice trickled down his fingers.

The woman glanced at him and moved her red lips. ”There are few Heaven Divine Chefs. We've had two in the past, but now, only the personal imperial chef of the Divine Emperor, who is in charge of the imperial kitchen in the palace, is a Heaven Divine Chef…” She paused, thought for a while, then added, ”Hey, do you still have that pancake? Give me one.”

That surprised Bu Fang. ”Oh, you want to try it? You should've told me earlier. How am I going to know if you don't tell me…” he said.

The woman looked at him.

”I can give you one, but if you want to eat it again, you have to come to my restaurant, which will open tomorrow,” Bu Fang said with a straight face. Then, he flipped his hand, took out another steaming oyster pancake, and gave it to her.

The woman grabbed it and took a bite impatiently. Her eyes gleamed in an instant, and she gave Bu Fang a meaningful glance. ”It's good,” she said.
