Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bu Fang covered his mouth. It turned out that… that food was cooked in this way. The ingredient was actually the insects in the river of curses. The simple and brutal cooking method was nothing Bu Fang had seen before.
As a chef who was fond of beautiful things, Bu Fang was somewhat obsessed with cleanliness. He liked to be clean, just as the man did before. However, the contrast shown by the man at the end was just too dramatic.
The sounds the insects made when they wriggled and crawled up his hand, which would make one’s scalp go numb and hair stand on end, had made Bu Fang feel a little depressed inside.
Growls came through the kitchen door. They came from the one thousand exiles chosen from District D.
Bu Fang had seen how fanatical and crazy the exiles were about this dark cuisine. From the very beginning, this cooking competition was unfair. He was on the side of being crushed.
At this moment, Bu Fang, deeply shocked, was somewhat confused. He was still recollecting the unpleasant flavor of the dark cuisine.
He could not think of a cuisine that could defeat this dark cuisine, a dish that could attract the exiles of District D, who were already spiritually attracted by it.
…
“It’s over…”
The stooped old man had tears in his eyes as he stared at the image. He could understand the confused look on Bu Fang’s face. There was a time when he, too, was lost like that, and then, he failed miserably.
Looking at the man, his expression became complicated. That was him, or rather, his old self. That was his past, but it was captured by the Queen of Curses and sealed in this Death Pass forever.
“The Queen of Curses…” He clenched his fists. Suddenly, a wisp of black curse rose inside him, filling him with excruciating pain and making him spasm all over.
…
“Blergh…”
“This food is too… disgusting! Only the filthy bugs in District D will eat it!”
“This is the Queen’s reward for them. It can suppress the curse, so they should be grateful!”
The nobles turned pale when they saw the man’s cooking. Some even covered their mouths and revealed unsightly expressions. Indeed, the impact of this kind of cooking on them was huge.
They had long known how this food was cooked, but whenever they saw it, they still felt a disgusting feeling that tumbled out from the depths of their bodies. This was also the reason why they looked down on the people in District D. In their view, the people who ate this kind of food were bugs.
“It’s disgusting, yes, but without a doubt… This chef cannot defeat this food!”
Some nobles shook their heads, smiling. They had lost the bets, but it did not stop them from winning the bets back in the next game.
The game was also started by Countess Xia Qiu, and the choices were between the winning side and the losing side. It was a question of whether Bu Fang could win or not.
Without a doubt, all these nobles bet that Bu Fang would lose. No one could win against this kind of food. This was a temptation from the soul level, and the bugs of District D loved it crazily as if it was a drug.
Nethery was nonchalant. She looked at Bu Fang, and her expression did not change at all. It was as if nothing could cause her face to change, and she had long since become indifferent to everything.
The noblewoman, on the other hand, wore a smile on her lips and watched with relish. “I’m looking forward to how this little fellow will handle this. If he can’t handle it… He would wish he had never been born.” She chuckled.
What kind of food would Bu Fang cook? No one knew the answer. They were not chefs, but if they were in his shoes, they would have despaired. Those exiles were deeply attracted by the dark cuisine. It was impossible for him to pull them to his side.
Bu Fang felt a tremendous amount of pressure. He did not expect to see the dark cuisine. He had tasted it before, just a tiny mouthful, and he did not dare to try again. It was a kind of food that worked on the soul level, something that could drive those exiles crazy.
To him, it was a dark cuisine, but to the exiles in District D, it was a heavenly cuisine. It would be extremely difficult for him to change this impression that had deeply etched into their souls. Habits were the worst, let alone a crazy, brainless habit.
From the moment he chose cooking, he was destined to fail.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows—he was thinking. He had to come up with a countermeasure. There were all kinds of possibilities in cooking, and it all depended on whether he could think of it or not.
He stroked his chin. Then, with a thought, his consciousness sank into the Heaven and Earth Farmland.
The wind was blowing. The grass swayed, revealing the grazing cows and sheep. The farmland was as beautiful as ever, quiet and relaxed.
Niu Hansan lay fast asleep in a recliner as a gentle breeze blew at him. Bu Fang’s arrival woke him.
Bu Fang thought Niu Hansan, as the Father of Hybridization, might have better ways to defeat the dark cuisine. After all, this guy had stuffed the Great Path into food ingredients. So, he told him about his current situation.

“What? I can’t believe someone dared to cook dark cuisine in front of Owner Bu!” Niu Hansan was shocked. He got up, pacing in front of the wooden hut.
Bu Fang was also trying to figure out what to do.
Suddenly, Niu Hansan slammed his fist on his palm. “Owner Bu! Why do those exiles like that dark cuisine? Because it can suppress their curses!
“Although it is a drug that will slowly kill them… The cultivation base of these exiles should not be too weak, and surely they know about this…
“So, in my opinion, Owner Bu should not think too much. Break it with brute force! You just need to cook a cuisine that can dispel these exiles’ curses!” Niu Hansan said, his eyes flashing.
“Crush the dark cuisine with an absolutely delicious dish!”
