Countess Xia Qiu’s words gave Bu Fang pause.

‘She wants me to cook her a dish? It’s just a small request… Why does she have to be so secretive? She even sealed up the surroundings… Has cooking become such a taboo thing in Void City?’

The countess could tell Bu Fang’s doubts. There was a faint sneer on her face as she said in a serious voice, “In Void City, cooking is a… taboo. The Queen of Curses’ hatred of chefs is what you would never be able to imagine.

“Before this, the only people who can cook in Void City are the dead and the cursed ones… Such as you and that old man.”

Bu Fang leaned back on his chair, adjusted himself into a position that he thought was comfortable. “In that case, why did you ask me to cook a dish? Why did you risk the great taboo?” He gave Countess Xia Qiu a sideways glance.

As soon as he asked the question, the atmosphere in the room stiffened. He paused. What did he say wrong this time? ‘Well, since she’s not talking, I’ll just keep drinking tea.’

The tea contained unique energy that seemed to be able to strengthen the flesh. Such an enhancement was terrifying. At his level, Bu Fang’s physical body was almost invincible, but the tea could still strengthen it.

“The way you talk… No wonder the Cursed Goddess doesn’t want to talk to you.” Countess Xia Qiu chuckled.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. “You know all about it? I came to Void City to look for my buddy, and your Cursed Goddess is my buddy… I’m also looking for the arm that belongs to an unknown being of the Soul Demon Universe, which had merged with Heavengod Transmigration and fled the Chaotic Universe,” he said seriously.

“You don’t have to explain anything to me…” Countess Xia Qiu shook her head. She did not care about what Bu Fang said. She knew he was the man who spied on Void City not long ago, but she did not mind, for he posed no threat to the city.

“I want a dish… I want to know why… he was so obsessed with cooking,” she said with a sigh.

Bu Fang nodded. “To be honest, cooking is a good thing. With the Queen of Curses’ aversion to chefs, she will never be able to truly appreciate the joy of cooking,” he said, twitching his mouth.

“You don’t understand… The Queen is also a poor soul. So even though she separated me from him, I couldn’t hate her.” Countess Xia Qiu did not agree with Bu Fang.

“Well… Let’s not talk about these irrelevant matters. You have plenty of time to think about what dish you want to cook. If your dish can’t let me feel your sincerity, then you can forget about finding your Cursed Goddess… Oh, your buddy.”

She did not talk much to Bu Fang. Talking to someone who did not know how to properly conduct a conversation was very boring.

Bu Fang shrugged, then rose to his feet and turned. “I hope you can keep your promise…”

“Don’t worry. While you are cooking, I’ll seal off the Countess Residence so the Queen of Curses can’t sense it…” Countess Xia Qiu said seriously. This issue was important.

“I admire your courage. As a subject, you are bold enough to… cause trouble underneath the Queen’s nose,” Bu Fang said with the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

Countess Xia Qiu just smiled. There were things that Bu Fang did not understand. After sending Bu Fang away, she sat down on a chair and held a cup in one hand, her eyes shifting.

The old man had passed away, but she felt no grief. She knew she should mourn for him, but the countless years of slaughtering had made her forget how to cry.

Void City was not a peaceful place, especially in recent years. The Queen of Curses had begun to look for her successor. All the Cursed Goddesses wandering in different universes were brought back, and under the protection of dukes, they began to fight for the throne.

In today’s Void City, the undercurrent was strong… It was not as calm as it seemed.

…

Bu Fang walked inside the Countess Residence.

District C was indeed completely different from District D. If the latter was the stinking sewer, then the former was the magnificent and prosperous business district.

The layout and decoration of the residence were not in a garden style, but the luxurious, exquisite, and even futuristic buildings still gave Bu Fang a unique feeling.

Void City was a fusion of beings from all universes, so a variety of ideas collided and produced many extraordinary things. This had been described in Heavengod Space’s book, who was amazed by the building styles in this unique city.

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind him. Whitey followed him quietly. Shrimpy perched on its round head, spitting bubbles, while Foxy curled herself in its arms. Whitey’s body was made of cold metal, but it was not cold at all. Instead, it was warm like a human body, and Foxy enjoyed the warmth.

Bu Fang was thinking about what dish he was going to cook. He had done some analysis on Countess Xia Qiu. She and the old man, who might be the host of some previous generation, had developed an indescribable relationship. However, the Queen of Curses had separated them.

She even went on the opposite side of the old man. But after countless years, the old man finally saw her again, and he even touched her heart with the cost of his own life. This confused her.

Countess Xia Qiu wanted to find the reason why the old man had confused her. So she asked Bu Fang to cook her a dish, for the old man was also a chef. Moreover, he was a chef very much like Bu Fang. She saw in him the younger version of the old man.

The ground of the residence was paved with a kind of solid and transparent material. As Bu Fang walked, he seemed to discover something. He squatted and looked through the transparent floor.

There was a space under the ground with plants growing inside. Bu Fang looked at them carefully. Soon, he realized that they were only one plant. Its leaves were bright green and bursting with life force, and they kept spreading and withering, then spreading, and withering again, forming rapid cycles.

“Hmm? What is that?” Bu Fang paused. The leaves looked like tea leaves to him. He stopped a passing maid to inquire.

The maid glanced at Bu Fang with a disgusted look in her eyes. Everyone in District C knew that Bu Fang was a bug who crawled up from District D, and the people of District C always felt superior when standing in front of someone like this.

“Move out of the way… you lowly bug,” the maid said, frowning. She was a peak God Emperor. Although her strength was weaker than that of Bu Fang, her pride derived from her status.

Bu Fang was somewhat speechless as he glanced at the maid. He could not understand where this maid’s sense of superiority came from.

“What is the thing under the ground?” Bu Fang asked.

The maid sneered. “Why should I tell you? You’re not qualified to know!” After that, she turned to leave. “Also, let me warn you. The things in the Countess Residence are not something that can be touched by a lowly person like you. If you break them… A lowly bug like you can never afford to pay!”
