Chapter 1753 - The Death Spicy Strip! (2/2)
After pondering for a long time, Soul said, “Be patient. I have a feeling that I’m about to break through. When that happens, I will go to the Queen, and that’s when our plan begins.” Her gaze became much deeper.
Pi Dong and Pi Xi’s faces flushed with joy.
“Your Excellency Soul is the Chosen One and will certainly ascend to the throne of Void City! We look forward to that day!”
“That’s all for now. Leave me…” Soul said expressionlessly. “I will not mistreat you, for you have served me well.”
The twin brothers quickly left the chamber.
In the chamber, countless flower petals emerged out of thin air and kept blooming. At some point, Duchess Tianlian appeared in a corner of the chamber.
“What do you think, Aunt Lian?” Soul asked.
“Pi Dong and Pi Xi’s concerns are genuine. In fact, I have the same concern… The Queen’s attitude is… abnormal.”
Duchess Tianlian sighed.
Soul nodded. ‘I didn’t expect that even Aunt Lian is afraid of that restaurant,’ she thought to herself. ‘In that case, something must be done quickly…’
From Soul’s gloomy look, Duchess Tianlian could guess what she was thinking. “Soul, to work with the Soul Demons is to work with a tiger. You’re a Cursed Goddess, so don’t let Void City fall into ruin,” she said meaningfully.
Soul narrowed her eyes and nodded slowly.
“Aunt Lian, I’m about to make a breakthrough. Please guard the surroundings for me.”
“Very well.”
…
A long table was set up outside Cooking God Little Kitchen, flanked by a hundred chairs in two orderly rows.
Countess Aitang and the few big shots sat in the front seats. Their faces were somewhat gloomy. Just by sniffing the spicy smell in the air, they already felt their souls quiver slightly. They could not imagine how terrifying this dish would be.
“The dark cuisine really lives up to its name. The difference between what you see through the projection array and what you feel in reality is so huge.”
Many people were swallowing, and some even had beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.
Viscount Ash watched closely as Bu Fang cooked. Suddenly, she saw Nethery.
“Greetings, Your Excellency.”
Nethery nodded with a smile on her face.
In fact, Viscount Ash was quite curious about Nethery, for she did not have the arrogance and aura of a Cursed Goddess. She also admired her easygoing manner. She had not chosen a side yet, but there was no rush for such things.
Bu Fang picked up a spicy strip with his chopsticks and took it out of the oil. Its surface was covered with a layer of oil, and its skin was dark red, which made it look quite frightening. Even Bu Fang could not help frowning.
As the name suggested, Death Spicy Strips were made for Death. The chili sauce used to make it was the nightmare version of Abyssal Chili Sauce, which was even spicier than all of yesterday’s chilies combined.

The chili sauce was made by fermenting the most terrifying Nightmare Chili that grew in the Chaotic Universe. Using the Law of Time, Bu Fang controlled the rate at which the chili fermented, then placed the jar deep into the core of a star and let it soak with the power of the star. This gave it a deeper and more condensed spiciness.
Even he was afraid to taste it. As he took a deep breath, his nasal passages were slightly choked by the spicy smell. This kind of spiciness might be really life-threatening!
The next moment, Bu Fang focused his eyes and jerked up his hand. One by one, the spicy strips flew out of the wok. He picked them up with his chopsticks and placed one in the bowl in front of each participant. Every spicy strip was half a meter long.
“This is the dark cuisine you will challenge, the Death Spicy Strip. There will be a winner today. I’ll decide who the winner is based on the length of the spicy strip that’s left over. The shorter the length of your leftover spicy strip, the better your chances of winning.”
After hearing Bu Fang’s explanation, the expressions of all the participants changed.
Was this chef looking down on them? Was he not going to let them finish the spicy strips? Did he think they could not finish it?
In the eyes of the participants, the Death Spicy Strips did not look strange. The spicy smell in the air was indeed very strong, but it made them relax a lot instead. After all, the more superficial something was, the less scary it was.
Yesterday’s Eighteen Curry Hell did not smell spicy at all, and it even smelled a little fragrant, but as soon as the participants ate it, they were choked to the point where they could not stop the tears from flowing down their faces.
“Acting all mysterious…”
Countess Aitang snorted with disdain. Marchioness Ruoshui, on the other hand, smiled faintly. The little girl sat on the chair swinging her legs, seemingly unconcerned about the so-called Death Spicy Strip. Master Zhen Yong clenched his fists as sweat trickled down his forehead.

Bu Fang glanced at the crowd. With a thought in his mind, the power of life emerged, condensing into an orb of life over each participant’s head. The orbs rotated slowly, with a powerful life force flowing in them as if they were ready to heal these participants at any time.
Such a preparation caused many people to draw in cold air.
“Does he need to go to such an exaggerated extent? Does that mean eating these spicy strips will really kill them?!”
