“It’s time for her to… go home,” said the stranger. The voice was muffled, so it was hard to judge whether the stranger was a man or a woman, but the insistence in those words was clear.

Bu Fang’s pupils constricted slightly. ‘This person is here to… bring Nethery home? But… Does she have a home?’

His expression became serious. He carefully studied the stranger. The material of the black robe was exquisite, and it seemed to shimmer faintly. Clearly, this was a treasure, and no ordinary treasure. Bu Fang could not sense the stranger’s aura, but he could feel a sense of fright inside him.

“Is the Cursed Goddess in there?” the stranger asked again. He or she had sensed Nethery’s aura. Then, ignoring Bu Fang, the stranger stepped away and continued toward the door.

Bu Fang got up from the recliner and tried to stop the stranger.

Just as the stranger crossed the sill and stepped into the restaurant, a sudden gust of wind blew off the hood of the black robe and revealed a face.

The stranger turned out to be a middle-aged woman of grace and elegance. She had a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her beautiful appearance was something that no one could ignore. In that instant, she seemed to become the focus of the world.

The woman frowned. As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, she felt a familiar aura coming toward her. She turned around abruptly and rested her eyes on Bu Fang’s face.

A great force suddenly descended, pressing down on Bu Fang’s body like a towering mountain.

“You…” The woman looked at Bu Fang. Her eyes were very deep and seemed to contain a vast universe full of stars.

She seemed to have questions she wanted to ask, but she did not ask them. Instead, she just looked straight at Bu Fang. After a long time, she sighed, shook her head, and continued walking into the restaurant. Her aura became calmer.

Bu Fang’s heart was pounding. ‘Who is this lady? Why does she give me a sense of fright?!’

Who in the world could make him feel that way? Even Saints of the Great Path could not frighten him. Could it be that the lady in front of him was a… Chaotic Saint?

After thinking for a brief moment, Bu Fang said, “Excuse me…”

The lady frowned at him and gestured for him to continue.

“What did you ask just now? Is the Cursed Goddess here?”

The lady nodded. She looked indifferently at Bu Fang, her expression calm.

“Well… She’s not here. She went out to play,” Bu Fang said seriously.

The corner of the lady’s mouth twitched in disdain. ‘Where did this idiot come from? Does he take me for a fool?’ The expression was somewhat similar to Nethery’s when she was sneering.

“Don’t be naughty,” she said, shaking her head, then turned and stepped into the restaurant.

Bu Fang took a deep breath.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong hung upside down from the roof, blinked, then jumped down to follow Bu Fang. “Don’t worry, boy. I’ve got your back…” he said.

They stepped inside the restaurant together.

The lady sat down in a chair and crossed her legs. Her long, curvy legs looked fair and attractive against her black robe.

“Another restaurant?” The corner of her mouth twitched again as she saw Bu Fang walk in.

Bu Fang said nothing. With his hands behind his back, he stood to the side.

“I had once taken away a Cursed Goddess in a similar restaurant many years ago,” said the lady. She seemed to think of something funny and chuckled.

“I did not expect that after so many years, I would have to bring back a Cursed Goddess in a restaurant again… Is this fate?” she said. Then, she gave Bu Fang a deep look. “Unfortunately, it’s an ill-fated relationship.”

“Well… As I said, Nethery is not here. She went out to play. Why don’t you come back some other time?” Bu Fang said seriously.

The lady’s strength was unfathomable, and Bu Fang felt that he might be no match for her. So, if he could put off her and make her leave, that would be the best ending.

“It’s okay. I can wait for her. She has already agreed.” The lady waved her hand. Suddenly, she looked at the menu with great interest. “I’ll have the Egg-Fried Rice. If my memory serves me right, I also had the same dish last time.”

Egg-Fried Rice? Bu Fang paused. “The restaurant is closed today,” he said, shaking his head.

“You’re a lot naughtier than the previous chef…” The lady chuckled. She was not in a hurry, and she did not urge. She just waited quietly in the restaurant.

Bu Fang frowned and found a chair to sit down.

Sun Wukong thought the lady was here to look for trouble, but the atmosphere turned out to be so quiet. It made him a little uncomfortable. It was like being forced to sit still and listen to Gautama chanting the scriptures. So, he sneaked out of the restaurant and went to disturb the Kun Bird.

Time passed, and it was getting late. When the sun was completely behind the mountain, the lady spoke again. She looked toward the stairs and said, “It’s time to go.”

Bu Fang, startled by her voice, suddenly looked over.

The sound of footsteps came from the top of the stairs as Nethery came down in a black dress, her face expressionless.

Bu Fang sat on one side and the lady on the other. When she came down and saw that, she stopped in place.
