Chapter 1739 - A Monkey Brain or Bean Curd? (1/2)

“The monkey brain wrapped in pearl is… ready.”

Bu Fang’s voice was not loud, but it made all the people in the restaurant raise their heads.

Outside, many nobles cast curious glances through the door. Soul’s Cavalry of Death had surrounded the restaurant, yet the chef was still so calm. His nonchalant attitude surprised them.

Bu Fang was holding a porcelain plate, which contained a large, round pearl garnished with immortal vegetables still fresh with water droplets.

‘So this is the monkey brain? Is this thing even edible? Isn’t this just a ball? And it has no smell at all… Is he going to make me eat it raw?’ Marquis Lang Gu looked confused.

“Little chef, I’ve said that you can’t kill a monkey to get the brain…” he said, pointing a finger at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang raised his brows. “Are you worried that I’m lying to you?”

“Fine! If your monkey brain satisfies me… I’ll settle the Cavalry of Death for you!” the marquis said with high spirits. The cavalry was fierce, but since he had decided to support Nethery, he had to show his sincerity. Fighting these soldiers would be the proof of his loyalty.

“It’s a deal,” Bu Fang said as a faint smile brushed his lips.

Thinking that there was something to eat, Foxy, lying listlessly under the Path-Understanding Tree, turned into a white beam of light and sped up to Bu Fang’s shoulder, rubbing her little paws excitedly.

“You can’t eat this. It’s for the customer.” Bu Fang rubbed the little fox’s head. His words put a sad look on her face.

Nethery, too, looked curiously at the huge pearl. ‘This clearly is a pearl. Which part of it makes it a monkey brain? And it doesn’t look like something edible…’ she thought to herself.

Bu Fang, however, only smiled enigmatically. He was very satisfied with the dish. It had attracted the attention of the universe’s will, but perhaps because it was in Void City, that supreme existence had blocked off the punishment from the universe’s will.

Marquis Lang Gu sat leisurely on his chair.

Outside, the cavalry looked at each other. They were led by two Chaotic Saints, who were just ordinary Chaotic Saints as strong as the person in charge of the fighting pit at the most.

However, they were twins, and when they joined hands, they could unleash the strength of a marquis. The twins were quite famous in District A, and they were both formidable experts who served Soul.

Soul had many supporters in Void City. Countless nobles believed that she would succeed to the throne, so they all stood at her side.

The twin brothers rode on a two-headed phoenix, and behind them was the fearsome Cavalry of Death, who seemed to be curious about the scene inside the restaurant. The brothers lifted their hands and ordered the soldiers to stand by.

“Let’s see what this restaurant is up to. What is that slutty Marquis Lang Gu doing in this restaurant?” said the twin brothers in unison, then nodded at the same time.

The nobles sucked in their breaths as they looked into the restaurant.

…

Marquis Lang Gu sat in his chair and took out a square of white cloth, which he materialized with his power. At his level, it was not a strange thing to materialize things at will. He tucked one corner of the napkin into his collar, then leaned back comfortably and looked forward to tasting the cuisine Bu Fang had prepared for him.

Unlike Countess Xia Qiu, he had never tasted food before. That woman was a Cursed Goddess who wandered the other universe a long time ago, so she had eaten many things.

Marquis Lang Gu was born and raised in Void City. As a noble of the city, he had never eaten anything cooked by a chef. So, he was very curious even though this was something forbidden by the Queen.

“I’m ready.” He put away the pellet drum and blinked at Bu fang. “How do you eat this thing? Do you bite it directly?” he asked curiously.

“Bite it directly? You may try…” Bu Fang said.

The outermost layer of the dish was pearl powder. Although it was edible, it was not the most delicious thing.

Looking at the marquis’ clueless face, Bu Fang could not help but feel sad. Food was such a beautiful thing, yet none of the people in Void City, which claimed to be the strongest city in the multiverse, had tasted it before.

It would be a bleak and gloomy life if a person had not tasted food. But this would change soon, for Bu Fang was here. As a man who would top the food chain in the fantasy world, he felt that he was obligated to help these people redefine the meaning of food.

The Qilin Transmigration Ladle appeared in Bu Fang’s hand with a humming sound, spinning so fast it appeared like a tiny vortex. Just when Marquis Lang Gu was dazzled by it, he clutched the ladle firmly, brought it down hard, and smashed the top of the pearl.

The pearl looked like a round egg, and something good seemed to be breeding inside. When the ladle struck it, the huge pearl reconstructed by Bu Fang broke with a crash. As it shattered slowly, the fragments turned into powder, and a gust of wind carried it across the restaurant.

Ting-a-ling!

The bell at the kitchen door tinkled, and the curtain swayed lightly as a gentle breeze blew inside the restaurant. Then, the white powder filled the air, turning into what looked like the milky way in the dark starry sky. It was very beautiful.

Marquis Lang Gu was stunned. He covered his mouth with both hands, and his eyes sparkled.
