AST 2392 – Thousand Miles Waft of Fragrance, Shameless Flaunting

There was just an interlude, but Qing Shui was on high alert against the Poison Wolf King who hid in the dark,

He had heard from the woman at the Divine Rain Sect that her senior, the Poison Wolf King, was especially formidable in the area of poisons. While Qing Shui had great knowledge towards the topic, it didn’t mean he didn’t fear it.

Qing Shui didn’t interrogate the previous Wolf King for information about the Poison Wolf King, as he didn’t deem it necessary. After all, his level of strength now was drastically different than from the past. Qing Shui was confident in going up against the Poison Wolf King, but he didn’t know where they would meet.

Forsaken Earth Region’s city!

It was the third day of Qing Shui and his company’s arrival to the city.

They settled down in an inn. From the Exploding Arrow Battle God, they were aware of a Demon Gate in this region and the lack of a Divine Palace. However, this didn’t mean that there wouldn’t be any Battle Gods in sight. Moreover, the Demon Gate might be strong, but they were not City Lords, and neither were they rulers of an empire.

This was the Northern Ocean Empire, a powerful empire. Since an imperial city was also a region’s city, the Northern Ocean Empire was the Forsaken Earth Region’s strongest existence.

The inn where they stayed for the past three days was the region city’s best inn, the Northern Ocean Inn!

It was said that the Northern Ocean Inn was founded by a nobleman, an aristocrat who could stay in the empire.

Most aristocrats and others of similar standing stayed far away from the Imperial City.

All this was of little interest to Qing Shui. He had no intentions of expanding in this area, but he did want to seek out more information of the Demon Gate’s status. For example, which powerful warriors had the closest relations with the Demon Gate in this area.

Checking out the extent of might these warriors attained was also a way to probe the strength of this area.

“Qing Shui, I just received news regarding the Sect Leader of this Demon Gate.” Nuo Lan spoke up at the sight of Qing Shui.

“Oh. Let me hear it.” The reason for Qing Shui’s stay in this region city was the Demon Gate. Otherwise, he would have proceeded directly to the Forsaken Heaven Region.

“The identity of this Demon Gate’s Sect Leader will shock you. She’s a Culinary Demon King, nicknamed The Culinary Empress. She has great cultivation, along with equally impressive culinary skills. She is also proficient in poison and other mystifying techniques.

“For example, she can complement ingredients together and present something which seems perfectly normal when in fact, the dish is laced with fatal poison or could make someone lose certain abilities.”

Nuo Lan’s words did surprise Qing Shui. Regardless of Demon Kings or Battle Gods, they came from all walks of life. However, these Demon Kings belonged to the non-combat type. Qing Shui had some information about the Culinary Demon King, the Tailor Demon King and others from his inheritance memory. Even if they were Demon Kings, they wouldn’t be able to train.

“Interesting. I must have a look.” Qing Shui smiled.

“This Culinary Demon King has opened an inn in the region city, named the Thousand Miles Waft of Fragrance.” Nuo Lan mirrored his smile.

“Thousand Miles Waft of Fragrance… what an exaggerated name. No scent can travel a thousand miles, regardless of how fragrant it is.”

“Is this considered an exaggeration? There are others named Ten Thousand Miles Waft of Fragrance, yet you say that no scent can travel that far.” Nuo Lan seemed to grow curious.
