Chapter 1737 - I Want To Eat a Monkey Brain (2/2)

However, even as her voice faded away, the sound of footsteps rang through the door. That gave Xiao Ai pause. She turned to the door and saw a figure walk into the restaurant.

“Ah? Marquis Lang Gu?!”

How could Xiao Ai not recognize Marquis Lang Gu, who was one of the three rulers of District B and a soul drummer famous for his coquettish behavior? With just a thought, he could become a great ape.

Marquis Lang Gu walked into the restaurant, strutting his catwalk and toying with his pellet drum. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes, and he held his pinky up like a woman.

“Greetings, Your Excellency… Please have a seat.” Xiao Ai led the marquis to a table. At some point, she produced a square of white cloth and used it to wipe the chair.

Marquis Lang Gu cleared his throat, puffed out his chest, and sat down.

A confused look came over Xiao Ai’s face. ‘What’s wrong with me? Why did I settle into the waitressing role so quickly? What’s with the uncontrollable feeling just now? I didn’t think there would be diners a moment ago!’ For a moment, she fell into silence.

Marquis Lang Gu was very famous in Void City. The moment he stepped into the restaurant, the group of people waiting outside to watch the show immediately broke out into an uproar.

“Marquis Lang Gu? Is he out of his mind? Why is he going into that restaurant?”

“What a nut! When he stepped into the restaurant, he put himself on the opposite side of the Queen!”

“What’s so good about this lousy restaurant? Marquis Lang Gu must have played with his rattle so much that he had become an idiot!”

The nobles were chattering noisily, but Marquis Lang Gu ignored them. He held his head high like a noblewoman. At this moment, Bu Fang came out of the kitchen. When Marquis Lang Gu saw Bu Fang, the muscles on his face suddenly twitched.

“Why are you here?” Bu Fang glanced at the marquis, puzzled. They were still fighting not too long ago, and now this fellow was here in his restaurant as if nothing had happened.

“You’re not welcoming me? How could you be so… naughty?” Marquis Lang Gu pointed a finger at Bu Fang and said plaintively.

Xiao Ai shuddered—her skin ran cold. ‘The way he talked… Could there be an affair between them?!’

“I’ve some news for you… Marchioness Moti is dead,” said the marquis. He was not in a hurry to order food.

That gave Bu Fang pause. He knew Marchioness Moti was the one whose flesh was destroyed by Whitey. But didn’t Whitey spare her soul? A Chaotic Saint would not die as long their soul survived.

“She is devoured by a Soul Demon… Those goddamn bastards! I’ve proposed to Her Majesty a long time ago not to let those disgusting creatures into the city. If she had listened to me, we would not have such a tragedy today,” Marquis Lang Gu said sadly as he shook his head.

“My little Moti… Wuu… I feel so bad… I feel like crying…” He bit his lip.

“You will feel much better after ordering a dish and eating it…” Bu Fang said. He still could not figure out the purpose of the marquis’s visit.

“I’m no longer on Soul’s side… Little Moti was killed by a Soul Demon, so I went to Soul and asked her to go to the Soul Demon Universe and catch the murderer for me! But…”

Marquis Lang Gu covered his mouth as tears welled up in his eyes. Obviously, the result was not what he had expected.

“Her reply sent a chill to my heart! So… I’ve decided to support Her Excellency Nethery! I want to avenge little Moti!”

Although Bu Fang was the culprit who destroyed Marchioness Moti’s body, he had also spared her soul. And because of that, Marquis Lang Gu felt that he was a kind man…

“Well…” Bu Fang did not know what to say. He glanced at Marquis Lang Gu, whose eyes were red. He had thought that this great ape was a ruthless beast, but it turned out that he was such a sentimental man. A pity that Marchioness Moti was killed by a Soul Demon with trickery.

Suddenly, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he thought of that arm. ‘Could that guy be the culprit?’ He considered for a while, then shook his head and turned to Marquis Lang Gu.

“This is a restaurant. Since you are here, order some food. Whatever you wish to eat, I can cook for you,” he said.

Marquis Lang Gu clutched his rattle and held up his pinkie. “Food? I hate food… Her Majesty told us that chefs are no good!” After saying that, he gave Bu Fang a plaintive look.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. “You can give it a try… Women are always two-faced. They will tell you they don’t like something, but deep inside their hearts, they love the thing… Perhaps Her Majesty is fond of food?”

Marquis Lang Gu was struck dumb. ‘That makes a lot of… sense,’ he thought to himself.

Xiao Ai froze, too. ‘How could this paralyze-faced chef come up with such a theory?’

“Well, then… Let me think…” Marquis Lang Gu rolled his eyes. Then, he spun the rattle lightly, filling the air with the crisp sound of drum beats. A few moments later, he said, “Chef Bu, I want a monkey brain… Do you have this dish?” A faint smile brushed his lips.

A monkey brain? Bu Fang was startled, and he gave the marquis a strange look. ‘Isn’t he an ape? Why does he have such an exotic appetite?’

“I wish to eat monkey brain, but I don’t want you to kill a monkey… Otherwise, I’ll not forgive you! So… Can you fulfill my order?” Marquis Lang Gu leaned back in the chair, blinking.

Xiao Ai was already petrified, while Nethery was pursing her lips.

‘Marquis Lang Gu is really… naughty! This request is simply too much to ask. Could Owner Bu do it? How is he going to get a monkey brain without killing a monkey?!’ Xiao Ai could not think of a solution no matter how hard she tried.

Looking at Marquis Lang Gu, who seemed to be proud of himself, Bu Fang raised his brows and snorted.

“So your order is a monkey brain, right? Well, please wait a moment.”
