Chapter 1648 - The Taste of Love (2/2)
Nethery walked leisurely out of the base holding Foxy and Shrimpy in her arms. She was not worried about Bu Fang. With his strength, few people in the world could hurt him.
Bu Fang nodded to the crowd, then borrowed a separate room from Chief Luo. After dropping Nicholas into the room, he woke the dragon up.
Waking up, Nicholas jumped to his feet, held his hands in a defensive position, and looked at Bu Fang warily. “Little cub, don’t you think I’m afraid of you—”
Bam!

He had barely finished speaking when Bu Fang slapped him and threw him to the ground. “Dammit! How dare you use such a dirty trick?!” His eyes widened.
Another loud bam rang out. Bu Fang sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and gave the dragon another slap, throwing him to the ground once again.

After being slapped several times in a row, Nicholas gave up. He lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking like a fish on a chopping board at the mercy of Bu Fang.
“Now… What are your conditions for your return?” Bu Fang said faintly. This Gold Dragon was probably the most mischievous of all Artifact Spirits.
“Return? What return?” Nicholas continued to play dumb.
With a thump, he was once again thrown to the ground with a slap. His expression became very bitter. “I want wives and concubines. I want to have my own families and my own children,” he said at last, spelling out the conditions to let him return.

Bam!

Bu Fang rolled his eyes and gave Nicholas another slap, causing the dragon to almost sink into the floor.
“Fine… As long as you can make me feel the taste of love, I’ll return!” Nicholas said defiantly. The reason why he would go back to the mortal world was to seek the so-called love.
“The taste of love?” Bu Fang’s eyebrows raised slightly, but he did not slap the dragon this time. After thinking for a while, he gave Nicholas a deep look.
He took out a huge piece of demon dragon meat from the Heaven and Earth Farmland, produced the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, and unleashed the silver-and-red divine flame. The slow pulsating flame caused the temperature in the room to rise instantly.
He blanched the meat, then added various sauces to the wok and began to stew it. His movements were unhurried and skillful.
Gold Dragon got up from the floor and stared with wide eyes. Outside, many people watched through the glass windows of the room. The room that Chief Luo provided to Bu Fang was used for interrogation of suspects—the people inside could not see outside, but the people outside could see the situation inside clearly. They were all a bit confused when they saw Bu Fang cooking inside.
“Senior always cooks at the slightest agreement…”
The demon dragon meat was tumbling in the wok. The sauces had penetrated deep into it, making it very tender. Bu Fang removed it from the wok, then tore it up into fine shreds, laying them on a blue-and-white porcelain plate for later use.
Since Nicholas the Handsome Dragon wanted the taste of love, Bu Fang would give him that.
He began to prepare the other seasonings. He pulled out a blue-and-white porcelain jar containing an enhanced version of Abyssal Chili Sauce, which had a much stronger flavor than the previous version.
What he was going to make now was oiled chili sauce. He chopped the Exploding Flame Peppers into tiny pieces, added the Abyssal Chili Sauce and other ingredients, stirred them well, and then poured the boiling oil over them. The steaming, sizzling oil whetted the appetite of those who saw it.
Next, he diced up a large amount of Purple Garlic and made them into mashed garlic. He then added the shredded dragon meat, stirred them together, and finally poured the boiling oiled chili sauce over them.
The shredded dragon meat immediately wriggled as if they had come to life, while the oil shimmered and emitted a radiant glow.
Just moments after Bu Fang finished cooking the dish, the sound of thunder came from the sky. He frowned, looked up at the sky, and sighed. The thunder was gone as quickly as it had come, and no lightning punishment fell as it had before. Suiren had told him all that needed to be said, and he himself needed to control his own power.
Bu Fang picked up the dish and placed it in front of Nicholas the Handsome Dragon. “Here, this is the taste of love you wanted…”
“How can this be the taste of love?” Nicholas said incredulously. “Do you think you can deceive me because I don’t have much education? Is this the flesh of a female dragon?” he asked.
Bu Fang shook his head. “This demon dragon is… a male.”

“Then how are you going to give me the taste of love?” Gold dragon said defiantly.
“You’ll understand when you eat a mouthful of the dish… It’s called spicy shredded dragon meat.” Bu Fang wiped the water off his hands and looked at Nicholas. The look in his eyes made the dragon uneasy.
Combing his hair with his fingers, Nicholas glanced at Bu Fang, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and grabbed a few spicy dragon meat shreds. The deep-red oiled chili sauce was full of chili flakes and gave off an attractive spicy and oily smell, and when it mixed with the fragrance of the meat, it made the dragon take a deep breath.
“How can a dish taste like love?”
He shoved the dragon meat into his mouth. In that instant, his complexion began to change at a rate visible to the naked eye. His face was calm and pale, then it turned yellow, red, and eventually purple as if he was choking…
His body began to shake violently, his mouth opened, and his lips trembled. Then, beads of tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and his nose began to run.
“Dammit… I want the taste of love, not the taste of spicy food!”
