Chapter 1728 - Bewitched by the Chef (2/2)
However, to her surprise, Nethery shook her head.
“It’s okay. I trust Bu Fang,” said Nethery. Her lips were red from the lobster meat she had eaten.
“It’s still uncertain whether he’ll set foot in District A alive, and you’re counting on him?” The noblewoman shook her head. She still felt that this decision was too stupid.
Bu Fang naturally did not know that he was considered a stupid decision by her. But even if he knew, he would not care. Who said a chef could not fight an army? He would prove it to them.
“Let’s go.” The noblewoman prepared to leave with Nethery. “If you want to help Nethery, getting to District B is not enough. Come to District A. We’ll wait for you there. Be quick, for if you are late, she is likely to be turned into a skeleton outside the city.”
Her words rang in Bu Fang’s ears. The next moment, Nethery’s chariot also crushed through the void and disappeared in a flash.
The whole fighting pit was quiet. It was not until the two Cursed Goddesses had gone that an uproar erupted among the people. Everyone looked at Bu Fang with sarcasm and disdain. Most of those present were Soul’s supporters—her roots in Void City were too deep.
Bu Fang landed on the ground.
With a rumbling sound, the crone broke free from her bonds. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was hideous.
“I can enter District C now, right?” Bu Fang asked.

The crone was furious, but she could do nothing. She was tempted to use her power to disqualify Bu Fang, but that was not allowed in Void City because a supreme will was watching over her.
“Yes!” She was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood. After working hard most of the day and even getting beaten up twice, she still could not stop the chef.
Bu Fang waved at Whitey, then put his hands behind his back and walked toward District B. The nobles kept shouting and booing at him, but he turned a deaf ear.
As the noblewoman said, now that Nethery had chosen to fight Soul, her peaceful days were numbered. So he had to race against time to get into District A. Otherwise, what awaited him could be Nethery’s bones. This was no joke.
“You’ll die! You will surely die a terrible death!” said the crone viciously, standing in the ruins as she stared at Bu Fang’s back.
She cursed Bu Fang to die a miserable death. No one could stop Soul from ascending to the throne of the Queen of Curses, not even this chef, for the Queen of Curses would not allow a Cursed Goddess to ascend to the throne with the help of a chef.
Bu Fang pretended not to hear the crone’s words. The nobles kept growling and cursing him, but he did not look back. He just kept walking step by step toward District B with Whitey.
Just as he was about to step into District B, Bu Fang raised a fist and held out a middle finger. This made the nobles curse even louder. He succeeded in attracting the hatred of everyone.
As soon as he stepped into District B, Bu Fang was greeted by a city that was far more bustling and prosperous than District C.
According to Countess Xia Qiu, District B was not as large as District C, but it had more elites, and they were much stronger. To put it bluntly, Void City was a place where strength reigned supreme. The stronger a person was, the more resources he could get.
If Bu Fang wanted to get into District A and find Nethery, he had to go through District B. But how was he going to go through District B? He was at a loss of what to do. Was he going to fight all the way in, as Countess Xia Qiu had said?
And then there was the Soul Demon’s arm. Bu Fang felt he needed to find it. He could not let it grow.
District B was very busy. As Bu Fang walked in it, he found that people around him all looked at him with strange eyes filled with sarcasm, ridicule, and disdain. Obviously, they all knew about the feat he had done in the fighting pit.
‘Is there a kind-hearted person who can tell me how to get into District A? Is there a fighting pit in District B as well?’ Bu Fang pondered.
While he was lost in thought, a wheezing sound filled the air. With a deafening clanking noise, a group of guards riding on ferocious beasts zoomed in on him.
Bu Fang, in a daze, raised his head and looked up at the group of guards in the sky. The leading guard held a long, cold spear with a red tassel at its tip, which was pointing at him.
“Found him. By order of the Marquis, take this chef down! We can’t let him hinder Her Excellency Soul’s plan! If he resists, kill him!” the leading guard said coldly.
Those who followed him all exuded powerful auras, and among them were three Saints of the Great Path. Together with the leader, there were four Saints of the Great path, while the other guards were all God Emperors. They were here to capture Bu Fang.
Bu Fang did not expect the enemy to come so quickly. Soul had said that it was still uncertain whether he could get out of District B alive. Now, it seemed that she had been prepared.
“Move out!” roared the leading guard.
For a moment, bestial roars echoed through the skies and shook the earth. The whole District B was boiling at this moment. All the nobles were watching with great interest, and their faces had a gloating look.
‘Didn’t you say you could stand up against an army? Now is the time to prove yourself!’
‘Is this Soul’s army?’ Bu Fang looked at the group of guards with an expressionless face. He focused his eyes. At that moment, the ill feelings he had endured since he arrived in Void City ignited his anger.
“Whitey, Foxy, come with me… Let’s fight all the way to District A.”
