1144 Vermillion Fruit Flavor… Milk Ice Cream

Head Chef Bu secretly made ice cream for Her Majesty the Empress.

Jing Yuan’s words made the Empress’ eyes lit up. She realized that the ice cream Jing Yuan held was different from the rest.

The other ice creams were snow-white, letting out a milky fragrance. They were carved into the shape of a flower and placed in blue-and-white bowls. Although it was very beautiful, it looked common.

But the ice cream that Jing Yuan held was different. It was scarlet-red, and although it was a different color, it was more like there was a layer of sauce poured on top of it. This sauce had seeped into the ice cream, causing the color of the ice cream to change.

With the realistic flower carving, that flower seemed to flutter slowly under the wind, which was extremely beautiful.

With just a glance, Empress Bi Luo’s eyes were utterly drawn to it, unable to move away.

The maids all moved to their positions. They placed the ice cream in their hands in front of every diner in the hall. Everyone had one to eat.

Making ice cream was not difficult, but it was not simple as many details had to be considered. For example, one must be careful in the proportion of ingredients, as well as the control of the cold temperature, and so on.

Of course, because of a few changes, it could cause the ice cream to have many variations. Bu Fang wanted to study and experiment more, but he did not have the time.

Everyone’s focus fell onto the ice cream in front of them.

The maids retreated a step, looking at those ice creams a little enviously.

Jing Yuan returned back to Bu Fang’s side, her figure a little excited.

This delicacy… She had to learn it in the future!

Jing Yuan dared to bet that, in the entire Goddess City, there was no one who would not like ice cream. It was exactly the kind of thing that was made for Goddess City!

Bu Fang gave a glance at the constantly shaking Jing Yuan and smiled. “Do you want to eat too?”

“Yes!”

Jing Yuan was surprised, not thinking that Bu Fang would ask such a question. Nonetheless, she did not have a trace of hesitation as she answered.

Of course, she wanted to eat it. After trying ice cream once, that taste was like a little hand gently caressing her heart, causing her to feel itchy.

“Ohh… There’s no other flavor, though. Only the original one is left.”

Bu Fang’s mind flickered, and a bundle of ice cream instantly appeared in front of him.

Taking out a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, he scooped out a ball of ice cream and placed it in the bowl before passing it to Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan excitedly received it.

Bu Fang also scooped a ball for himself. Sometimes, he ate ice cream. That cooling, sweet taste and smell would cause his heart and body to feel comfortable.

For a long while, there was no sound in the entire imperial hall as everyone was busy eating their ice cream. They grabbed the silver spoon with their faces full of joy, putting spoonful after spoonful of ice cream into their mouth.

Previously, when Bu Fang and Jing Yuan competed, many noticed the ice cream already. At that time, everyone wanted to eat it, but they did not have the chance.

Now that everyone had a chance to eat it, naturally they were happy.

The Empress held the silver spoon with her pinky slightly raised. Digging in the ice cream covered in a scarlet-red sauce that seemed to reflect light, she dug out a small hole.

The viscous sauce dripped down, revealing the pink ice cream inside. Within the milky ice cream were little pieces of cut-up spirit fruit.

This spirit fruit had been dealt with by Bu Fang. It was chewy and juicy. When bitten, the sweet and aromatic juice would seep out, causing a mellow wave of aroma to spread out.

The spirit fruit contained a hint of sourness that came from the fruit itself, something that spirit fruits naturally contained. Paired with the ice-cold and sweet ice cream, the taste brought out the best in each other, causing one to be unable to forget it.

Slightly narrowing her eyes, the Empress put the spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

The Empress’ red lips puckered up as her nostrils flared, her face was filled with intoxication.

As the ice cream spread in her mouth, the milky fragrance, the fruity fragrance, and also the sweet and sour taste seemed to melt the Empress’ heart in an instant!

“Delicious!”

A flush appeared on the Empress’ face as she excitedly clenched her fist, looking like a young maiden.

Wow…

The entire imperial hall was stunned.

Even Nether King Er Ha had forgotten to eat his Spicy Strip at this moment. Narrowing his eyes, he pouted his lips, his face flushed as he stared at the ice cream.

This expression made Nethery, who was beside him, feel a bone-chilling fear.

The appearance of the ice cream pushed the almost-ending imperial feast into another climax.

The silence continued for a long time as everyone ate their ice creams. No one had the time to talk.

However, after finishing the ice cream, several groups of women who wished to continue began to crazily chatter, expressing their excited feelings.

Nether King Er Ha also pulled Nethery as he talked nonstop. However, Nethery glared at him and ignored him.

Nether King Er Ha seemed to have found another thing apart from the Spicy Strip… falling in love once again.

“My ice cream seems to have some pieces of fruit inside…”

“Same here. I ate it too quickly, though, so I was unable to separate the taste. But it was very delicious!”

“This dish is called ice cream, right? I feel like I’ve been held captive!”

The women excitedly turned their heads to talk to each other, sharing their excitement for the ice cream.

Of course, many people noticed that the Empress’ ice cream was different from theirs.

Chi Si had always noticed red things, so when she saw that the Empress’ ice cream was scarlet-red, she expressed her admiration.

“Your Majesty, how is the taste of your ice cream?” Chi Si asked curiously.

Lin Damei and the rest all looked over.

The Empress proudly raised her head, her red lips forming a beautiful curve as she replied, “Head Chef Bu’s specially-made ice cream seems to be Vermillion Fruit-flavored. It’s sour and sweet, and it looks nice and tastes nice! Fits very well with this Empress’ tastes!”

The Empress had completely given her compliments without being stingy, giving a bunch of fervent praises towards the ice cream.

Ice cream… was indeed tasty.

Bu Fang ate the last mouthful of ice cream, waiting for it to melt in his mouth. After it had taken away the last trace of heat in his throat, he stood up. His eyes were on Empress Bi Luo, who was filled with satisfaction as she shared her thoughts with a group of women.

Bu Fang slowly walked, soon coming close to the Empress.

The surrounding women all made a space for him. Bu Fang, right now, was like their baby.

Not talking about his other dishes, just the ice cream alone… was enough to make all the women crazy.

Bu Fang looked at Empress Bi Luo. Raising the corner of his lips, he released the velvet rope binding his hair, causing his hair to fall down. “Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this imperial feast?”

Empress Bi Luo looked at Bu Fang. Gently letting a ‘humph,’ she crossed her arms in front of her chest, raising her bosom, then crossed her snow-white legs. “This time’s imperial feast… is okay. You, little chef… performed pretty well.”

The Empress’ reaction and posture made the surrounding people all cover their mouths to gently laugh.

However, the Empress’ expression remained proud.

Bu Fang did not mind as this was not the main point for him. He calmly looked at the Empress, the emotion on his face slowly fading away, becoming expressionless like a block of ice. He stared at her as he said, “Then, Your Majesty’s words from before… still hold true, right? You said that if the imperial feast can satisfy you, you will open the entrance of the God Vanishing Mountain for me…”

Bu Fang’s words made the entire imperial hall quieten down in an instant.

Everyone’s gaze turned, falling onto the Empress and Bu Fang. Even the High Priestess coldly watched.

The God Vanishing Mountain was incomparably sensitive to Goddess City.

The smile on Empress Bi Luo’s face also slowly vanished, staring at Bu Fang. The two gazes clashed in the air without backing off, as if there were sparks.

The surrounding people’s hearts were suddenly on tenterhooks.

Suddenly…

Empress Bi Luo smiled. That smile was like a brilliantly-colored flower that had bloomed in the winter, where snow had flooded everywhere.

It made the heaven and earth suddenly pale.

“This Empress honors what she said. Since you have satisfied this Empress in this imperial feast, your request will naturally be fulfilled,” the Empress answered.

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up.

“However, this empress must still say that the God Vanishing Mountain is Earth Prison’s forbidden area. The danger within it is unimaginable, especially for a Three-star True Immortal Realm ant like you,” Empress Bi Luo coldly said.

Bu Fang nodded his head. “Your Majesty does not need to worry. This one has plans.”

As long as Empress Bi Luo agreed to let him into the God Vanishing Mountain, he was confident in his mission.

“Forbidden lands are areas where people are not allowed to enter. Earth Prison has three great forbidden lands, while Nether Prison has four. One of the forbidden lands is called the God Vanishing Mountain. It is not as frightening, but to be able to be called a forbidden land, it is naturally not an ordinary place… and you might meet unimaginable dangers within it. Are you sure you want to go?”

Empress Bi Luo paused momentarily, then added, “If you changed your mind, you can stay here in Goddess City and be this empress’ imperial chef. You can enjoy countless luxuries.”

The Empress’ voice was filled with bewitchment, but Bu Fang was not interested in these. His target was the Spring of Life, so he could help revive the Immortal Tree seedlings.

No matter if it was the Immortal Cooking Realm or the Heaven and Earth Farmland, reviving the Immortal Tree seedlings was his utmost priority.

“Thanks for Her Majesty’s offer, but this one must go to God Vanishing Mountain,” Bu Fang said.

Bu Fang’s stance was firm, making Empress Bi Luo’s eyes narrow. Anyway, she no longer advised him.

For a place to be called a forbidden land, it meant that many peerless existences had fallen in there before.

Without a doubt… there was danger in it.

“Since you want to go, then this empress will not stop you. After three days, this empress will open the entrance to God Vanishing Mountain. Once you enter the God Vanishing Mountain, your life and death will be dependent on you… and the heavens.”

Once the Empress’ words came out, the entire hall went into an uproar.

How many years has it been? Another man is going to enter the God Vanishing Mountain?

The High Priestess’ brows tightly furrowed as she sat at the side, staring at Bu Fang.

Those visions from the previous days appeared… causing her forehead to break out in a cold sweat and make her breathing a little irregular.

“This man… and Goddess City’s birth… Could it be connected?” the High Priestess muttered.

When the Empress had agreed to let him into the God Vanishing Mountain, Bu Fang heaved a sigh of relief.

He will enter after three days?

Bu Fang thought that that was just nice. He could use those three days to complete the system’s task.

Thinking of that, Bu Fang once again looked at Empress Bi Luo. There was a strange look in his eyes.

“What’s the matter? You little chef… Is there anything else?” Empress Bi Luo furrowed her drawn brows. As the Empress, she was not that pleased with letting a man into the God Vanishing Mountain.

“Oh… I have a favor to ask of the Empress,” Bu Fang said.

The Empress gave a side glance at Bu Fang, replying impatiently, “Speak if you want to say something!”

Bu Fang raised the corner of his mouth. Sweeping his gaze across the entire hall, with his gaze finally falling on the Empress, he said, ” How does everyone feel about this one’s ice cream?”

Once he mentioned the ice cream, all the women present involuntarily licked their lips.

“Delicious! Very delicious!” the women all answered.

Even the proud Empress Bi Luo had praised the ice cream’s taste.

“Oh… Your Majesty, this one wants to open an ice cream shop in Goddess City. It will specialize in selling various flavors of ice cream, if Your Majesty agrees,” Bu Fang said.

Once his words came out, everyone was shocked.
