“Chaotic Energy! It really is Chaotic Energy! This is incredible!”

The bowl of noodles really gave Viscount Ash Chaotic Energy. The birth of the energy allowed her to take her strength, which had already broken through earlier, another step forward. She had become one of the top experts in Void City! Now, she only needed one more step to become a Chaotic Saint and qualify to be a duke!

A bowl of noodles had created an existence worthy of being a duke!

Everyone, including Master Zhen Yong and the people in the other districts, was stunned. They thought Bu Fang was going to use some kind of divine herbs to give Viscount Ash Chaotic Energy.

It was well known that some herbs, which grew deep in the universe and had absorbed the essence of the whole universe, could enable a Saint of the Great Path to produce Chaotic Energy. After all, the Will of the Universe was a supreme existence.

But Bu Fang did not do that. He just used a bowl of noodles to give Viscount Ash Chaotic Energy!

Many people were swallowing involuntarily. Looking at Viscount Ash, standing in the restaurant and surrounded by what seemed to be materialized Chaotic Energy, they all showed envious expressions.

At this point, they thought of a very serious fact. If the chef could cook a bowl of noodles like this, he should be able to cook many more. In other words, he was able to make a lot of people have Chaotic Energy!

At the thought of that, the people’s eyes lit up, including those who were watching the scene through projection arrays. Everyone was breathing fast. It was not hard to come up with such a conclusion. After all, these people were not fools.

If this were true, the Queen’s faith would not affect them at all. The benefits were compelling, and at this level, they were enough to drive anyone crazy. For these people who were banished to Void City, abandoning their faith was just a small matter.

As long as they completed the chef’s challenge, they could get the food cooked by him! The moment the thought appeared, it grew uncontrollably in their minds.

In the restaurant, Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and looked at Viscount Ash.

Her aura was soaring. A wisp of Chaotic Energy swirled around her like a mist. She was feeling the boosted strength as well as savoring the taste of the noodles.

She never thought that her breakthrough would happen under such circumstances. She had actually relied on the help of a chef to break through the bottleneck that had imprisoned her pace for tens of thousands of years.

After a while, her aura subsided. She looked at Bu Fang, her eyes complex and confused. She used to trust the Queen of Curses so much that she thought chefs were all garbage and the so-called cuisine was fake. But today, a bowl of noodles had completely shattered her perception.

It turned out that food was not that simple. While she was eating the noodles, she felt as if she were traveling in the starry sky on the back of a dragon. The feeling thrilled her deeply.

“I…” She opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

“Have you finished your noodles? If yes, you can leave now.”

After saying that, Bu Fang turned to the door and, with a faint smile on his face, said to the crowd gathered outside the restaurant, “Today’s challenge is over. If you’d like to try some of our dishes, then please complete the challenge. Only those who complete the challenge will get the opportunity to taste my dishes.”

Previously, Bu Fang was just planning to rely on the challenge to open up the restaurant’s popularity and spread its reputation across the city. But just now, he suddenly thought of an idea. He was going to use the challenge to make his dishes rare.

When something was easy to get, people tended not to cherish it, but if it was rare, everyone would fight for it. This was human nature.

“The cuisine of my restaurant can strengthen your cultivation base, allow you to break through bottlenecks, and give you Chaotic Energy…”

The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly, and his expression was enigmatic. Then, he turned around and walked toward the kitchen.

“If you’d like to try our dishes, please get ready for tomorrow’s challenge. Xiao Ai… send off our guest and close the door.”

Xiao Ai paused for a few seconds, then hurriedly answered. Bu Fang was, after all, her boss, so she still needed to do as she was told.

Viscount Ash suppressed the excitement inside her and took a deep look at the restaurant as if to enshrine it in her mind. Then, led by Xiao Ai, she left the restaurant.

The restaurant door closed with a creak. Looking at it, Master Zhen Yong felt his heart bleed. He had come so close to passing the challenge.

‘Why couldn’t I keep going? If I had gritted my teeth and passed the challenge, I would have acquired Chaotic Energy by now…’ he thought to himself. Anger, resentment, regret… All kinds of negative emotions filled his mind.

At this moment, Viscount Ash passed by him. She stopped and said lightly, “Master, don’t be angry. There will be another challenge tomorrow. As long as you complete the challenge, you will have the opportunity to enter the restaurant and get Chaotic Energy. You’ve been waiting for tens of thousands of years. Would you care to wait one more day?”

Her words sent a shock through Master Zhen Yong’s body. ‘She’s right! There’s another challenge tomorrow! I’ll be back tomorrow for sure!’

The crowd slowly dispersed, but the news that Bu Fang had used a dish to give a Saint of the Great Path Chaotic Energy had spread throughout Void City.

“Heck… Viscount Ash’s cultivation base was already on the verge of a breakthrough. After all, she is one of the top Saints of the Great Path in Void City! It’s probably just a coincidence!”

“Are you kidding me? To enjoy a chef’s food is to betray the Queen’s faith! Such people should be executed!”

“Don’t let that chef fool you! Perhaps Viscount Ash is with him, and the so-called challenge is just a hoax!”
