Chapter 1426: A Luxury Store!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Sanniang rolled her eyes at Bu Fang. ‘I was so excited…’

It came as a surprise to her that this young man was unlike other Divine Chefs. Those were all old goats, and they always stared at her whenever she walked past them. She had told him to ask her of anything, and yet he only made two strange requests.

‘Why does he need a store in the capital? Is he going to open a restaurant? He’s just a Spirit Divine Chef, and if he opens a restaurant, his business won’t be good. After all, the few top restaurants in the city are all operated by Earth Divine Chefs…’

Bu Fang had broken the inheritance’s first seal, but that was only one seal. He was, after all, only a Spirit Divine Chef. Perhaps he was famous among Divine Chefs, but to the people in the capital, they always chose restaurants based on the level of the Divine Chefs.

In any case, this request was a piece of cake for the Divine Chef Temple. In fact, Luo Sanniang could already find a store with an excellent location in the capital from among her own properties.

Bu Fang’s second request was an invitation to the Beast Appreciating Feast, which would be hosted by the young master of King Pingyang. She had heard about it before. The young master was famous in the city. Although he was just a Demigod, as the son of a king, his talents were amazing, and he was strong enough to fight a God.

Since this young master was going to host a feast, she naturally paid a little attention to it. She heard someone say that he was going to show his guests an ancient spirit beast called the Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python.

‘Is this young man interested in strange beasts?’ Luo Sanniang looked at Bu Fang suspiciously. Of course, she was not too concerned by these requests. They were nothing when compared to the request she thought he would ask her.

It had been a long time since she met such a reasonable Divine Chef, so Luo Sanniang’s eyes grew gentler as she stared at Bu Fang. She found that he was so much pleasing to the eyes when compared to that old fool. If it were that old fool who broke the first seal, he would have demanded an exorbitant price now!

Luo Sanniang led Bu Fang out of the building that housed the inheritance and returned to the distinguished guest towers. She had prepared him a brand-new residence, one that fitted his status. The room was luxuriously furnished with various divine materials, making its price beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Bu Fang stepped into the room. Solving the third test had exhausted his divine sense, so he did not talk much with Luo Sanniang. He did not even let her enter his room but closed the door straightaway.

The cold-shoulder treatment made Luo Sanniang roll her eyes. “What an interesting green boy…” She murmured with a smile, then turned and walked away, twisting her slender waist. She needed to inform what had happened to the higher echelon, who could not wait to learn more about the solving of the first seal.

Inside the room, Bu Fang sat cross-legged on the luxurious soft bed, his face expressionless. His spirit sank into his body and came to his spirit sea, hovering in midair. Below him, the whirlpools spun slowly, restoring his divine sense. He looked up and saw the true-form of the divine sense sitting over the God of Cooking’s Menu, with streams of golden energy swirling around it.

The four Artifact Spirits smiled and greeted him. He nodded, then fixed his eyes on a golden kitchen knife hovering over the God of Cooking’s Menu. Covered in mysterious patterns, it represented the knife technique Bu Fang had just comprehended, the Kitchen Knife of Affliction.

It was floating around his divine sense, absorbing its newly born power. Bu Fang could feel that the power of his divine sense was strengthened as the knife kept absorbing it. Besides, the golden kitchen knife contained extremely terrible power, which frightened even him.

He calmed himself down and began to continue comprehending the Kitchen Knife of Affliction.

…

Three days passed quickly. The news that someone had broken the first seal of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance in the Divine Chef Temple had spread across the whole capital. Even God Kings were helpless in the face of the seal, and yet someone had actually broken it. However, the people in the capital were only slightly surprised when they heard it.

After all, only the first seal was broken, and no one knew how long it would take to break all the seals. It might be ten years, a hundred years, or even ten thousand years. Therefore, the news only caused a tiny wave in the vast city.

There was a sharp knock on the door to Bu Fang’s luxurious room. He opened it. Standing outside was Luo Sanniang, who was clad in a bright red evening gown. She wore a gentle look on her beautiful face, and her red lips pursed slightly, looking very seductive.

“I haven’t seen you for three days, mister. Have you taken enough rest?” Luo Sanniang said as she stepped into the room. It was neat and tidy inside. Clearly, Bu Fang had not carried out any other activities during these three days. She was quite surprised by that, if truth be told. ‘This young man is so prudent…’

“Are all my requests ready?” Bu Fang looked expectantly at Luo Sanniang.

“You look so desperate… A watched pot never boils. If you want to rise in the capital, you must be calm. This is the first rule of survival this sister teaches you.” Luo Sanniang winked at him.

With that seductive gaze alone, other men would have pushed her to the bed. But a pity that she was flirting with Bu Fang.

“This sister has found the store you want. I’ll take you there later. As for the invitation… It is not easy to get, to be honest. The people in the capital are very curious about the Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python,” she said, resting her hands on her hips. Then, she waved her hand, produced two shining invitation cards, and handed one to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang ignored the change in the way she addressed herself. His eyes lit up as soon as he took the invitation. The card featured a dazzling image of a roaring serpent, which was quite eye-catching.

‘Whether the Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python is Flowery or not will be clear tonight. It had better not be her, otherwise…’ Bu Fang breathed a long sigh, and his eyes grew sharper.

Luo Sanniang felt a little strange when she saw the look in his eyes, but she did not think too much. It never occurred to her that a mere Demigod would dare to cause trouble in a king’s residence.

In the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, the power of kings was slightly weaker than that of the court, but their residences were always guarded by Perfected Gods. Even the court would not dare to offend a king easily. Besides, every king was a God King, a mighty existence revered by the people and the pillar of the Divine Dynasty.

“Let’s go. It’s uncomfortable to be confined in the room. This sister will bring you to your store now,” Luo Sanniang said, smiling, then turned and walked out of the door.

Bu Fang collected himself, put away the invitation card, and followed her with his hands clasped behind his back. The store was also very important. The System’s temporary task required him to open a restaurant in the Divine Dynasty’s capital.

He closed the door, took the room key, and followed after Luo Sanniang.

As they walked along the main street between the distinguished guest towers, many Divine Chefs pointed at Bu Fang and whispered to each other. They were respectful to him. Although he was just a Spirit Divine Chef, no one dared to underestimate him. After all, he had broken the seal that many Earth Divine Chefs had failed to solve, and that told them about his ability.

Of course, he received a cold gaze as well, which came from Master Cheng. The old man was leaning on the railing of a high-storied room, glaring at Bu Fang. His hatred for this young man, who had beaten him and even took away all the resources that were supposed to be his, went deep into his bones. If he had a chance, he would surely kill Bu Fang by fair or foul means.

Of course, he could not let the Divine Chef Temple know that, or that would be the end of his life. The temple was very powerful.

Behind him, a Divine Chef friend with an invitation card in hand smiled and said, “Cheng, that boy is going to the Beast Appreciating Feat tonight. You can find a chance and…” The friend did not finish his words. Instead, he raised a hand and made a slicing gesture across his neck.

“But that woman Luo Sanniang is with him. You will need to be careful… You cannot withstand the wrath of the Divine Chef Temple.”

“I know… I’ve paid a lot of money to one of her suitors… Hehe… That woman has many suitors, and they all are willing to help us.”

Master Cheng grinned with jealousy flickering in his eyes. Looking at Luo Sanniang’s twisting waist, he took a deep breath. “A pity that this woman works for the Divine Chef Temple. Otherwise, I would have…”

…

Bu Fang followed after Luo Sanniang. They left the distinguished guest towers and came to the main lobby. The blond girl who received Bu Fang saw them at a glance, and a look of surprise filled her eyes in an instant.

Luo Sanniang smiled and nodded at her, then led Bu Fang out of the Divine Chef Temple and came to a small warship docked outside the main door. It was about the same size as Nethery’s Netherworld Ship. She jumped and landed on it, then reached out a hand to pull Bu Fang up.

Bu Fang looked at her as if she was an idiot. He was a Demigod. Why would he need a woman to pull him up the ship? How laughable. He kicked the ground, leaped gracefully into the air, and landed on the deck.

Luo Sanniang gave Bu Fang a sulky look. ‘What a silly young man,’ she thought as she pressed her fair hand on the ship. A humming sound could be heard, and then it swelled into a rumble. The next moment, the ship turned into a stream of light and sped into the distance.

Luo Sanniang invited Bu Fang into the cabin. It was actually much more luxurious than Bu Fang’s room. He gave her a surprised look, for he never expected that she was so rich.

‘The people of the Divine Chef Temple are so… rich.’

He had learned from the chariot driver that small warships were the primary means of transport in the capital. A warship was not cheap. The chief bandit of the Misty Mountain had spent all his fortune to purchase one, and yet it was a shabby one. If Luo Sanniang’s warship was a luxury car, then the bandit’s warship was a tiny electric scooter.

After a long time, the warship stopped. Luo Sanniang signaled that they had arrived at their destination, then took Bu Fang out of the cabin.

As soon as they stepped out of the warship, Bu Fang’s pupils constricted slightly. He looked up. All around him were tall buildings thrusting into the sky like spears. The whole sky was blotted out by them. Between the buildings, countless warships flew back and forth, flashing dazzlingly.

With a gentle smile on her face, Luo Sanniang pointed a finger at the topmost floor of a skyscraper and said, “That’s the store this sister has found you. The rental is ten thousand source stones per month. Are you satisfied?”
