Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the silence of a palace, a projection array showed the challenge in front of the restaurant. The scenes of the participants fleeing were vividly presented, and the horrified expressions of the onlookers were clearly visible.
“Dark cuisine…”
Soul watched with a calm face. In her hand, she held a black orb in which the cold power of sin flowed. She smiled coldly at Bu Fang’s little trick. She did not care about his purpose in doing that.
Her goal was to ascend to the throne of Void City. No matter what the chef did, he could not stop her. Could a mere chef help Nethery defeat her? It was impossible. Not even a duke could do that, let alone a chef who was unpopular in Void City.
She turned off the projection array, sat down with her legs crossed, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate. She had to prepare for the upcoming major event.
There was too much at stake in the battle for the throne in Void City. The war between the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe was locked in a stalemate, and Void City had the power to change this cosmic war.
As long as she sat on the throne, the city would become the side that favored the Soul Demon Universe. Once that happens, the balance of victory would be tipped completely toward the Soul Demon Universe.
…
There were a lot of people following the challenge, but not many of them were actually paying attention. Countess Xia Qiu, for example, watched it for a while and then ignored it. Although she did not know what Bu Fang’s intention was, the restaurant was not her focus right now.
The competition between the Cursed Goddesses had become increasingly fierce, so it was time for her to choose her side. Instead of Soul, she chose Houtu. She hated Soul Demons, so she hated Soul, who had grown up among Soul Demons. The latter always frightened her.
As the competition became more and more intense, an invisible terror gradually enveloped her mind. She knew that it might not be long before Void City’s tranquility was broken.
Both Cursed Goddesses were trying and testing the Queen of Curses’ bottom line. Once it was clearly determined, they would reveal all kinds of hideous tactics. Perhaps by then, the experts of the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe would show up in Void City and engage each other in a major battle.
…
Viscount Ash was panting violently. Her chest heaved, and her dress was wet with sweat, which made her look even more attractive.
Many people clenched their fists. Although it was only a challenge, the nobles were all deeply fascinated. They could not wait to know the final result, their emotions rising and falling with Viscount Ash’s panting. Would she succeed? As they watched her slowly move the spoon closer to her mouth, everyone’s jaw dropped open.
Viscount Ash swallowed the curry rice. She felt as if her whole body were burning. The more she ate the dish, the spicier it got, and now she felt like she was swallowing pieces of burning coals. Even her breath was emitting a searing heat.
Gulp.
She took a sip of ice water. A cold sensation spread throughout her body, dousing the flames inside her and giving her the courage to continue eating.

Bu Fang was amazed. The woman was stronger than he had expected. He knew this dish could help a person break through, but he did not expect anyone would actually be able to finish it.

As Viscount Ash stuffed the last spoonful of curry rice into her mouth, the onlookers went into a frenzy and the whole District A was brought to a boil. The clamor rose to the sky and seemed to bring down the roofs of all the buildings in the city.
“Ash! Ash!”
The nobles clenched their fists, shouting and cheering. They felt that Viscount Ash had helped them win back their honor.

Bu Fang nodded. ‘This woman is indeed worthy of respect,’ he thought to himself. ‘Anyone who dares to challenge Eighteen Hell Curry Rice is a warrior, and it’s even more remarkable that she’s able to finish it.’
Master Zhen Yong opened his eyes and gave Viscount Ash a complicated look.
Viscount Ash finally succeeded in completing the challenge. She poured the ice water into her mouth like someone who had not drunk any water for days. She needed to cool down. It was only after several gulps that she managed to suppress the heat in her.
At this moment, she looked as if she had just been pulled out of a pool. The sweat-soaked clothes clung to her skin, revealing the curves of her body.
“Owner Bu, I made it, didn’t I?” Viscount Ash asked, her bright eyes fixed on Bu Fang.
Bu Fang nodded. “Congratulations. This concludes today’s challenge. Come with me to collect your reward.”
The crowd froze. There was really a reward?! Would it be Chaotic Energy? Was the chef serious about it?
Viscount Ash’s eyes grew brighter. She had made a breakthrough during the challenge, but she was still a long way from producing her Chaotic Energy. As long as she had Chaotic Energy, she would find a way into the realm of Chaotic Saints!
Although there were many Saints of the Great Path and Chaotic Saints in Void City, they were all elites and geniuses from other universes, and they were all here to seek an opportunity to break through.
Master Zhen Yong narrowed his eyes. He, too, was curious if Bu Fang could really come up with Chaotic Energy.
Bu Fang put away the table and chairs. Today’s challenge was over, but he would still hold it tomorrow.
“Owner Bu, will there be another challenge tomorrow?” someone asked.
Bu Fang nodded and did not say anything. He did not even reveal the name of tomorrow’s dark cuisine.
The challenge was over, but the onlookers did not leave. Instead, more people gathered in front of the restaurant door.
Bu Fang took Viscount Ash into the restaurant. The latter sat down in a chair and looked around curiously. At the thought that she was about to get Chaotic Energy, she felt a little excited. If the reward was real, what she had been through just now would be worth it.
