The fighter jet rumbled. A robe fell out of it, and then Chief Luo, Xiao Ai, and others jumped out of the jet. Although their bodies were not as strong as Immortals who could survive a fall of ten thousand meters, they could withstand a fall from this height.

The Roof of the World was cold, but Chief Luo’s special power was fire—whenever he used it, his head was ablaze. That was why he did not fear the chill. But Xiao Ai and the others had to wrap themselves in so many layers of military coats that they looked like balls.

They came up to Bu Fang. Xiao Ai was still holding the video camera. She planned to record the scene of Bu Fang cooking the golden-winged roc… no, the scene of him cooking Garuda. At the thought of that, her hands shook. She did not know whether it was because of cold or excitement.

‘Garuda is the Great God of India! He is a supreme God! And yet, he is brutally beaten and captured by Senior as soon as he comes to Hua… Why do I find this exciting?’

When Xiao Ai and Chief Luo approached Bu Fang, he was preparing the Garuda wing for the grilling process. The silver divine flame was burning quietly. Its color was almost the same as the snow around it, which made it look very beautiful. As it burned, it gave off a scorching heat, expelling the chill in Xiao Ai and Chief Luo.

Bu Fang glanced at them and looked as if he was surprised by their courage. “Have a seat,” he said.

Xiao Ai and Chief Luo quickly sat down, a little nervous. Bu Fang had been elevated to a fearsome being in their minds. After all, he had killed many Gods and Immortals with one slap and then turned Garuda into a food ingredient with just a few punches. They had never seen anyone so fierce.

“Senior… Are you really going to grill Garuda’s wing?” Xiao Ai asked and swallowed.

Bu Fang paused, turned, and glanced at her. He grimaced when he saw that she was filming him with a camera. “Of course… Don’t worry, Garuda has a very strong regenerative ability. We will have an endless supply of wings,” he said.

Xiao Ai did not know whether to cry or laugh. That was not what she was worried about. She was afraid that Bu Fang would offend the Great God Brahma of India. A truly terrible being, this God was considered supreme even among the Immortals of Hua. However, she saw no worry on Bu Fang’s face.

The camera’s recording indicator was blinking. Xiao Ai stopped talking and took off her heavy padded coat. With the divine flame burning before her, she did not feel cold anymore. As she filmed, she turned the camera to Nethery.

‘Is this the girl Senior has been looking for? She’s so beautiful!’ Xiao Ai exclaimed in her mind. She even felt a sense of inferiority rising from the depths of her heart. ‘How could she be so pretty? She’s more beautiful than the fairies in the Celestial Court!’

Nethery sat beside Bu Fang, hugging her fair legs. Her chin was rested on her knees, and her smooth long hair tumbled down and obscured half of her face. There was a hint of melancholy on the other half of her face, which looked fair and flawless. She was staring at the divine flame, and her black eyes reflected the dancing flame.

“Let’s take it as the wing of a roc…” Bu Fang’s voice rang out. He seemed in no mood to appreciate the beauty. At this moment, all his attention was focused on Garuda’s wing.

“This Garuda is considered a mixed-blood roc. His magic power is good, though.” While talking, Bu Fang skillfully plucked the golden plumage of the roc. He washed the naked wing with snow water, then found a branch and inserted it through the wing. After that, he moved closer to the campfire and began to grill it over the flame.

“Senior, can you tell us what we should pay attention to when grilling a roc wing?” Xiao Ai asked somewhat playfully.

Bu Fang gave her a sideways glance, but he did not reject her. “Grilling is all about controlling the heat. A roc wing is not much different from an ordinary chicken wing. At most, they are different in size,” he said.

In the System’s storage space, Garuda was dumbfounded.

“You need to watch the fire, as well as the changes in the wing’s color. Of course, you cannot let it burn, as charred skin has a negative effect on the taste.” As Bu Fang talked, he controlled the divine flame’s temperature.

Before long, grease began to ooze out across the wing. It dripped slowly into the campfire, causing smoke to rise and the flame to burn brighter.

“How do you control the heat? I’ll tell you a secret technique of grilling wings, which is very useful. To determine if the temperature is right, you have to look at the changes in the meat. As for how to feel the changes, you can do this…”

Bu Fang reached out a hand, pinched his fingers on the part where the wing was grilled to the hottest, and removed a small piece of skin. Grease poured out of it, and a strong aroma spread.

“If your wing is grilled to this extent, it is almost done,” he said solemnly. After that, he stopped talking and began taking out many small bottles and jars. From these bottles, he sprinkled seasonings onto the wing.

Xiao Ai was dazzled by his skillful movements, and as she sniffed the aroma in the air, she was instantly intoxicated. It smelled too good. She had never smelled anything so delicious. For a moment, her appetite was whetted.

“The roc is a divine beast, so its meat contains an immortal aura. Once heated and grilled, the aura will mix with the fragrance of meat, and the aroma it gives off will be very strong. Of course, this requires skills. Otherwise, the aroma will not be released, and the meat will taste bad,” Bu Fang said.

Xiao Ai kept nodding, while Chief Luo was stunned. ‘Why does Senior know so much about grilled wings? And… he sounded like an expert. There can only be one answer, that is… he had grilled divine beasts before, and he had done it many times! Senior never disappoints us… He is an expert foodie!’

“The next step is to coat the wing with honey…” Bu Fang said, then took out a jar of honey from the System’s storage space. It was no ordinary honey, but honey produced by a kind of God-level bees. Golden in color, it emitted a sweet smell.

After taking off the lid, he dipped a brush in the honey and began to coat the golden brown roc wing with it. When the sticky, golden nectar was applied on the crispy skin, it seeped through the cracks, while the excess slowly flowed down the skin.

Xiao Ai’s mouth watered, while Foxy was jumping up and down impatiently, gasping. Nethery’s eyes lit up as she fixed them on the wing.

Bu Fang ended the coating of honey with a shake of the brush as if he was finishing a painting with the ink-splashing technique. The grilled wing emitted a hazy golden light, and wisps of hot steam rose from it, making it look like an exquisite artwork.
