Marquis Lang Gu was screaming. As the plume of white steam hit him in the face, a rich aroma erupted out of it and wrapped his head, plunging him into the world of delicious food.
The onlookers were confused. Xiao Ai’s tiny nose twitched uncontrollably. As the steam kept gushing out, the aroma gradually enveloped the entire restaurant and even drifted out the door. It was so rich that it seemed to penetrate through the skin and made one shudder.
Xiao Ai turned to look at Bu Fang. With his hands clasped behind his back and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, he was beaming with confidence. For some reason, she thought he looked handsome at this moment.
Nethery, on the other hand, puckered up her lips. She had believed in Bu Fang from the very beginning. Ever since their journey started in the Hidden Dragon Continent, Bu Fang had cooked countless dishes, and she had never seen him suffer even once.
The steam, which lurked inside the monkey brain, had stopped gushing out, and something began to happen to the undramatic brain. Colorful streamers and the strange power of the Law swirled around it, glowing like the neon sign boards in the city and enchanting like the aurora.
‘Beautiful… This is so beautiful!’ Marquis Lang Gu was deeply intoxicated. He had never tasted food, and because of the Queen, he had a prejudice against food. But after witnessing this, he was beginning to feel that food was pretty… amazing.
He brought the spoon up. The tender monkey brain was wobbling on it, glowing dazzlingly like some gemstone. Even the pattern on its surface was emitting an enchanting color.
“Well… Do you mind if I start?” said Marquis Lang Gu.
Bu Fang nodded, signaling him to dig in.
Outside, the nobles swallowed.
“Is he really going to eat that?”
“Food is forbidden!”
“I admire Marquis Lang Gu’s courage…”
Looking at the marquis, Xiao Ai thought of the first time she ate the bowl of noodles Bu Fang had cooked. In the beginning, she refused to eat it, but after giving it a taste, she turned her back on her faith in the Queen of Curses. ‘This dish is… poisonous!’
Marquis Lang Gu gave Bu Fang a deep look. After that, he held up his pinkie and shoved the delicacy in the spoon into his mouth.
It was extremely soft. The tender texture his tongue felt as soon as it touched the monkey brain stunned him, its taste spreading across and crawling through him in an instant. He felt as though he had been shocked by electricity, but at the same time, it felt like first love.…
‘This… This is a monkey brain? No…’
“Ahh!”
Marquis Lang Gu covered his face, and his eyes turned misty. He felt everything in front of him had changed. What laid before him now was a vast expanse of water stretching as far as his eyes could see. Monstrous waves were rolling and crashing, filling his ears with a deafening rumbling sound.
Holding his pellet drum and standing in a little rowboat, he howled as the rolling waves rumbled around him. The spray wet his clothes, accentuating his body shape, but he did not mind at all. At that moment, he let himself go.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
He kept shaking his pellet drum. The beads struck the drum, producing a rhythmic tune and making the water droplets on the surface of the drum jump. The feeling of bliss and intoxication made him experience an unprecedented orgasm at that moment!
The drumbeats grew louder as Marquis Lang Gu threw his head back and screamed. His throat grew wider and wider, and everything in front of him turned misty and white.
In reality, his face was flushing, his head threw back, and tears were slowly trickling down from the corners of his eyes. “So this is food…” he said in a choked voice.
The onlookers were struck dumb. No one knew what happened to him and why he looked so wretched as if someone had just violated him.
Marquis Lang Gu turned to Bu Fang with a plaintive look in his eyes. The monkey brain did not taste like a brain. It was extremely tender. There was a fishy taste, but it was not strong. In fact, the fishy taste was the finishing touch that gave the dish its soul, making it taste like a real monkey brain.
The dish was not a monkey brain, but it made him feel like a real one. It was not something that materialized out of thin air, but a creation that went deep into the soul.
‘Food… So this is how food tastes like…’
Suddenly, Marquis Lang Gu was a little confused. Food was an amazing thing that could cleanse one’s soul, but why did the Queen of Curses forbid them to taste it? He did not understand this feeling until today. It was the feeling of first love!
“How is it? Is it delicious?” Bu Fang asked. He pulled a chair over and sat down, facing the marquis. A teapot appeared in his hand. He poured himself a cup of warm green tea and took a sip.
“It’s delicious,” Marquis Lang Gu said.
He could not help but squeeze his legs together and sigh. A cuisine like this would make people turn their back on their faith. He scooped up another spoonful of the throbbing monkey brain, which appeared like a peerless beauty in his eyes, and put it in his mouth.
The taste was perfect, not too salty nor too bland, and the texture was tender. Marquis Lang Gu could not help but immerse in this feeling.
“And now… You know what you should do,” Bu Fang said, pointing a finger at the Cavalry of Death who was waiting outside the restaurant.
The nobles woke up, and their eyes were filled with horror.
