“Well? Can you taste the food?”
Sitting in the chair, Mu Hongzi looked at Bu Fang curiously. The others were also staring at him with rapt attention.
Only Bu Fang knew whether he could taste the food or not. If he could taste it, it meant that he was back.
He swallowed the food, then shook his head with a calm face and said faintly, “No.” He did not stop eating, though. Soon, he finished the entire dish.
Everyone felt sorry for him. Mu Hongzi also sighed. There was only so much he could do to help. He really hoped that Bu Fang could continue on the path of becoming the God of Cooking. He wished that Bu Fang could finish the path that he had failed to finish.
He also wanted to go up to the summit and see what was there…
Bu Fang was not sad as these people imagined. Instead, he was feasting. Dish after dish was brought up, and he ate them all, leaving not a single drop of soup. When he had finally eaten his fill, he put down the chopsticks and exhaled.
The snow was falling, and the whole Immortal Cooking Realm was clad in silvery white. It looked very beautiful.
Bu Fang rose to his feet. Foxy and Shrimpy jumped on him at the same time. After saying goodbye to his friends, he strode out into the snow with the two little ones in his arms and was soon out of sight.
Mu Hongzi watched with complicated eyes as Bu Fang left, while Summer and Realm Lord Di Tai froze slightly. Was Bu Fang leaving? They chased him into the falling snow, but found that he had disappeared. He had left as quietly as he had come.
With Bu Fang’s strength, if he wanted to hide, they would not be able to find out where he was.
Bu Fang stayed in the Immortal Cooking Realm for about three days. He went down one layer at a time, and when he came to the first layer and stood in front of Immortal Chef Little Store, his expression became a little complicated. The restaurant was the same, but the people were already different.
He left the realm and came to Nether Prison, where he continued to walk quietly. Wherever there was good food, he went there and tasted it. He was not fast—he had plenty of time.
Although he could not taste the food, Bu Fang did not care. He continued to search and taste the local food.
After tasting countless dishes in Nether Prison, he came to Earth Prison. The moment he arrived, his expression became more complicated because Er Ha, Lord Dog, and Nethery were all from here. However, they were all gone now.
He did not know where Er Ha had gone, and Lord Dog was nowhere to be found. As for Nethery, she was taken back to Void City. He took a deep breath and vowed that when he regained his mental force, he would go find them.
In fact, Bu Fang’s favorite days were when he and his friends were eating good food and watching the sunset together in the restaurant.
He continued to walk on foot, carrying Foxy and Shrimpy across deserts, over mountains, and through swamps and lakes, searching for all kinds of food.
Each world had different cuisines, but they all shared the same essence. Of course, because the environment was different, they had different flavors.
The food in deserts was certainly different from the food in the mountains, and the food in swamps was also different from the food in lakes. However, even under very harsh conditions, there was good food. That was the beauty of food.
Earth Prison, Ruin Prison, and the Abyss… Bu Fang made a trip to all of them. In the end, he returned to Hidden Dragon Continent, a land he knew very well. It was huge, too, but he still walked leisurely. He had plenty of time.
After becoming a God Emperor, his time was almost unlimited. However, even if he had eternal life, he might not be able to reach the end of this road. After all, some roads actually led to dead ends.
…
The capital of the Light Wind Empire was once again bustling with activity, and the streets were full of people.
Bu Fang carried Foxy and Shrimpy as he walked through them. The Vermilion Robe was dusty, and his hair was unkempt, making him look very dirty. He had many cloth strips hanging on him, which recorded the delicacies of different places.
Walking on the street, the people around him were looking at him with disgust. They thought a man so dirty could not be from the capital. Any beggar here was cleaner than him.
Bu Fang walked quietly. He did not go to Fang Fang’s Little Store. Instead, he went to other restaurants in the capital.
Many years had passed, and the Light Wind Empire had changed a lot. Many people had changed. They might have gone on to greater heights, or they might have been turned into ashes and soil.
But Bu Fang did not come back to catch up with them. He did not seek out anyone he knew. He came and left quietly, just to eat what he wanted to eat.
A red-faced Fatty Jin walked down the street with his big belly. He had aged a lot, but his love of food had not changed. He was on his way to Fang Fang’s Little Store.
Suddenly, he paused as soon as he walked past a figure. He gasped, then turned to look at a dirty, unkempt figure, who had a fox and a golden mantis shrimp on his shoulders.
“That guy looks familiar…” he said, rubbing his belly. Unfortunately, he could not recognize Bu Fang.
Bu Fang did not linger. The cloth strips hanging from him were evidence of his journey. He could not even remember how many years he had spent tasting these delicacies. Although he could not taste their flavors, he felt delighted whenever he was eating new dishes.
In fact, the Hidden Dragon Continent had a lot of beautiful scenery and delicious food. In the past, he came and went so fast that he did not notice them. Now that he had time, he intended to make up for all that he had missed.
…
Time passed, and the years went by.
On a bright star in the starry sky…
It was a dead star with lifeless dust everywhere. There might have been traces of life on this planet many years ago, but that was all history now.
Bu Fang sat cross-legged on it, while Foxy and Shrimpy played in the distance. As they followed him through the journey, they had also eaten a lot of delicious food. As a result, Foxy had doubled in size, and Shrimpy was glowing even brighter now.
Sitting on the ground looking out into the wide world, Bu Fang’s eyes were somewhat misty. He was a little emotional as he looked back at the road he had taken. Many years ago, he was in such a hurry that he missed too many things. Fortunately, he had made up for what he missed now.
