Chapter 1822 - Long Time No See (2/2)

The operation of the restaurant was simple and no different from before. When the sun went down, the day’s business was over. But Wushuang was still standing at the door excitedly, waving his hand and calling people to come for a meal. It looked like he was addicted to the job.

“That’s enough. Business is closed for the day.” Bu Fang could not help reminding him.

Wushuang rubbed his head in embarrassment. At this moment, it was as if he was not a peerless sword expert but a small child.

After closing the door of the restaurant, Bu Fang brought out a few dishes and a jar of wine from the kitchen. “Come, sit down and eat with me,” he said, then filled a cup with wine for Wushuang.

Wushuang grinned and sat across from Bu Fang as he had done before. Staring at Bu Fang, who looked exactly like the first time they met, his mind was filled with amazement and questions.

“Your Excellency… haven’t you already…”

Bu Fang ate some vegetables and took a sip of wine. A blush came to his face. “You mean to say that I’m already dead, right?” he said indifferently.

Wushuang nodded.

“I did die, but I came back to life.”

Wushuang took a deep breath. In his eyes, Bu Fang was not only resurrected, but his cultivation base had become unfathomable.

“Then why aren’t Your Excellency going to see those old friends?” Wushuang asked, puzzled.

“No. It’s not the right time yet.” Bu Fang shook his head and continued to drink and eat.

Wushuang grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up some of the vegetables, and put them in his mouth. As he chewed, he shuddered, and his eyes flickered with shock.

‘This is… This is delicious!’

Even though it was just a simple side dish, it amazed him. Suddenly, the energy in him began to surge as if it was going to break through the barrier. It was the barrier of the Saints that countless geniuses had failed to break.

Wushuang’s face turned red—he wanted to seize this opportunity to break the barrier. However, Bu Fang came behind him and put a hand on his shoulder. Just like that, the surging energy in him was suppressed.

“Don’t be anxious… Your foundation is still a little weak. Eat more vegetables and don’t rush to break through at this time.”

The unfathomable aura emanating from Bu Fang made Wushuang’s heart tremble. ‘Is His Excellency a Saint of the Great Path now or a Chaotic Saint?! I can’t believe it only took him a hundred years to get back to the top!’

Bu Fang continued to drink. “Eat quickly. I have things to do after this. You’ve come back at the right time. I need you to guard me,” he said.

That gave Wushuang pause. ‘His Excellency needs me to guard him? Is he about to break through again?’ He hurriedly brought up the bowl and shoved the rice and the vegetables into his mouth.

As soon as he put everything into his mouth, he narrowed his eyes and groaned indistinctly. ‘This is… f*cking delicious! The familiar taste and feel… I’m so touched!’

After swallowing the food, he took a mouthful of wine. The aroma of wine filled his mouth. Even with his cultivation base, he felt a little tipsy.

‘Your Excellency, your wine is amazing! It’s even better than the fine wine of the Celestial Court! What heavenly ingredients did you use to make it?” Wushuang was very surprised.

“Rice,” Bu Fang said faintly, glancing at him. There was no such thing as heavenly ingredients. All his dishes were cooked with mundane ingredients.

After a hearty meal, Wushuang leaned back in his chair with satisfaction. For the first time in a hundred years, he ate to his heart’s content.

“You’re done eating? Then come with me,” Bu Fang said.

Wushuang nodded and followed.

After going upstairs, Bu Fang went straight to a room and opened the door. Behind him, Wushuang’s pupils narrowed when he saw what was inside, and then he sucked in a cold breath.

“T-This is…” Wushuang stuttered in shock. He did not know what to say.

“Don’t be so shocked. It’s just the essence of some stars,” Bu Fang said indifferently.

“How could I not be shocked? So much essence… Did you shrink the entire universe and move it into this room? What exactly is His Excellency trying to do?’ Wushuang’s head was full of questions.

“I was afraid that the amount would not be enough… After all, I’m going to use them to bring an old friend back to life.” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly. “I’ll have to give him the best possible configuration…”

Wushuang froze for a moment.

The next moment, Bu Fang raised his hand and flicked his fingers. The air rippled, and a simple force slowly spread. In Wushuang’s shocked gaze, all the essence of the stars in the room lit up as if they were a miniature universe. With his hand clasped behind his back, Bu Fang stepped into this universe.

Wushuang’s muscles tensed up.

“You’ll guard me from outside the room… Well, help me cover up the aura. I’ve got an array in place, but just in case, help me erase the excess aura that will seep out of the room,” Bu Fang said.

Wushuang nodded. He had a rough idea of what Bu Fang was going to do. The iron sword on his back instantly left its scabbard and blossomed with a blinding light.

“As long as I’m alive, no one will be able to step into this restaurant! Your Excellency, leave everything to me!” he said firmly.

Bu Fang smiled faintly. With a bang, the door of the room closed and the starlight disappeared.

Wushuang made the iron sword hover beside him as memories flashed in his eyes. ‘Is that metal puppet coming back? His Excellency will definitely succeed!” He had great confidence in Bu Fang.

With a thought in his mind, he sat cross-legged in midair, grabbed the iron sword, and placed it across his legs.

At this moment, a terrible aura erupted in the restaurant!
