Gourmet of Another World

“Damned dog, I dare you to run away again…”

Ice Saint stared at Lord Dog with a straight face. There seemed to be a touch of amusement in her eyes.

Lord Dog laughed dryly.

Everyone around them, including Bu Fang, looked on curiously, while Foxy popped its head out of Bu Fang’s arms and blinked.

The nine-tailed fox and the six-tailed fox had funny looks on their faces. Both of them should know about something.

“Ice Beauty, an eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Why don’t we just forget our old grudges?”

Lord Dog’s mouth curved into a broad and sincere smile.

Ice Saint didn’t smile. The dagger slowly closed in, and soon, it was just several inches away from Lord Dog’s nose. The chill exuded from the blade caused the tip of his nose to be covered in a layer of frost…

“Hey, this is too much… You can’t beat a dog’s face. How are we going to talk if you act like this?”

Lord Dog wrinkled his nose, making the frost instantly fall off.

Bu Fang’s curiosity grew. He wondered what Lord Dog had done to Ice Saint, making the latter seem to want to poke countless holes in his body.

“It was that old goat Tian Cang who asked me to do… those things. I knew nothing at all,” Lord Dog said indignantly. “Besides… that old goat Tian Cang is dead…”

That gave Ice Saint a pause, and the look in her eyes became somewhat complicated.

The ice dagger in her hand gradually melted and disappeared.

“Forget it…” For a moment, Ice Saint seemed to be a little down.

“It was the old Nether King, not me, who peeked at you taking a bath. I’m an upright dog. If I hadn’t been coerced by that old goat, how could I have burned your clothes? My Earth Prison Flame is used to burn enemies. How could I use it to burn clothes?” Lord Dog explained.

Bu Fang was dumbfounded when he heard that.

Lord Dog burned Ice Saint’s clothes!

He glanced at Ice Saint. Her beauty was stunning, and she was even prettier than Bi Luo, the empress of Goddess City.

Ice Saint gave Lord Dog a sideways glance, and a scornful look appeared on her breathtaking face.

“Do you think I’ll believe you? You’ve burned my clothes and stolen Ice Spirit Fruits… If it weren’t for Tian Cang’s sake, I’d have frozen you into ice and locked you deep inside God Vanishing Mountain forever,” Ice Saint said.

Lord Dog nodded hurriedly, causing his rolls of fat to shake violently.

Sitting on Shrimpy’s back, Bu Fang felt that the amount of information in their conversation seemed overwhelming.

It looked like there should be more to it than burning clothes. After all, with Ice Saint’s cultivation base, how could her clothes be burned so easily?

There must be a lot more secrets he could not guess from their conversation.

However, Bu Fang believed that he could dig out these secrets in the future. There were very few people in today’s world who were as pure and noble as him.

Ice Saint paid Lord Dog no more heed and turned her eyes to Bu Fang once again.

There seemed to be a strange gleam flashing in her pale-blue eyes.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew at Bu Fang’s face. His pupils constricted, seeing Ice Saint appear in front of him staring straight into his eyes.

His heart raced.

Her lips appeared to be incredibly soft, and her skin was smooth and fair. A lock of white hair fell across her cheek, giving her a touch of gentleness.

As she stared at Bu Fang, her cold face suddenly softened.

Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. In the next moment, his hair stood on end. Before he knew it, Ice Saint had lifted her slender hand and touched his face.

Her hand was as cold as an iceberg that would never melt.

Bu Fang felt a chill run down his back as her fingers touched his face and slowly moved downward. Moreover, the way she looked at him was filled with nostalgia, making him shudder in horror.

Lord Dog’s eyes widened with a puzzled look on his face.

What’s going on? What happened? Does this crazy woman have a crush on Bu Fang? Damn it! Is she really crazy?

Bu Fang boy is not handsome and doesn’t have a strong body… He’s not even as handsome as him!

So… Crazy woman, you’d better take him!

Lord Dog’s eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, the nine-tailed fox and the six-tailed fox gasped at the same time.

This human is indeed a big boss! It would definitely be a great chance for Foxy to follow him!

Bu Fang’s muscles were tense, and his brow furrowed. He turned his head slightly and stared expressionlessly at Ice Saint.

She was beautiful, but was Bu Fang the kind of man who only looked at appearances?

“I can feel the energy of an old friend in you… It’s really a familiar energy,” Ice Saint said in a gentle voice. Then, she put her hand on Bu Fang’s face and stroked it once again.

Bu Fang bit his lip. He wanted to ask her to pay attention to his cooking talent instead of his face—he did not earn his living with his looks. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to speak as Ice Saint did not stop talking.

She gave Bu Fang a deep look. “Like you, my old friend is also a… chef.”

Ugh?!

Bu Fang paused for a moment. In the next instant, his pupils constricted, and the spirit sea in him rocked!

A chef? The energy of an old friend?

When he linked these with the restlessness of the four God of Cooking Set’s spirits in his spirit sea, it dawned on him!

Could it be that…

Bu Fang swallowed and looked at the woman.

‘System… System, come out! What does this crazy woman mean?!’ he asked in his mind.

Was the old friend mentioned by her the former host of the system?! It was highly possible!

If that was the case, why did the system come to him and bring him from Earth into this fantasy world?

Bu Fang’s words didn’t make the system appear. Its silence depressed him.

Ice Saint continued to stroke Bu Fang’s cheek. Her cold touch made his heart shake violently.

“I know… You and he are both people with secrets… You two should be the same kind of people…”

Bu Fang shook his head. “No… I am who I am… I am unique.”

Ice Saint sighed.

Seeing the sad look on her face, Bu Fang’s heart trembled. She was so beautiful that she could crumble a city with even the slightest facial expression.

“My perception is infallible… That man raised me. How could I forget that energy? If you and he are really the same kind of people, I have to remind you of one thing,” Ice Saint said, staring at Bu Fang.

“Remind me of what?” Bu Fang’s pupils shrank.

Ice Saint looked at him for a long time before leaning over to his ear, saying softly, “Those who want to reach the peak will be accompanied by disaster and misfortune. Life or death is just between a thought. Now that you’ve broken through transmigration, you should give up everything. Only by doing so could you have a glance at the… path to becoming the God of Cooking.”

Her voice was gentle, but those words thundered like the evening drum and morning bell in Bu Fang’s head.

“What do you mean?” Bu Fang frowned. He seemed to sense something unusual in those words.

They were full of helplessness and bewilderment. It was like a boat that went deep into the vast ocean and lost its direction, not knowing where the distance was. However, they also sounded like the advice meant for juniors.

After she finished speaking, Ice Saint moved away from Bu Fang’s ear. She brought her fingers down across his cheek to his chin before pulling her hand back.

Her attitude turned cold once again.

“That’s what he said. I’m just responsible for passing it to you. As to whether you can understand or not, it depends on yourself. Anyway, you don’t have to worry. Your current strength is still far from his, so you won’t encounter his misfortune.”

After that, she reached out her hands and took Foxy away from Bu Fang’s arms.

The little fox didn’t struggle but cuddled up quietly in her arms.

Ice Saint gently stroked its head as a faint smile appeared on her lips. Suddenly, she looked up and stared into the distance with her pale-blue eyes.

“Have you been watching enough? If you don’t get out of here now, don’t blame me for attacking you later,” she said indifferently, her words filled with terrible killing intent.

Clouds rolled in the distant sky as many invisible eyes disappeared.

Lord Dog squinted at those disappearing eyes with a serious look on his face. “Are they from the Black Temple and the Cave of the Fallen Gods?”

“Apart from them, no one else in Earth Prison has the ability to spy on me… That old fellow in Yellow Spring is strong enough to do this, but he is addicted to planting grass, so it must not be him,” Ice Saint said as she stroked Foxy’s head.

Clearly, she was answering Lord Dog’s question.

Bu Fang was now lost in thought with a dazed look.

Shrimpy descended in a beam of light. After placing Bu Fang on the ground, it shrunk and perched on his shoulder.

Ice Saint also drifted to the ground and didn’t disturb Bu Fang.

Lord Dog could see that Bu Fang had fallen into a strange state. He had to come out of that state by himself and couldn’t be disturbed.

“The Black Temple and the Cave of the Fallen Gods have already begun to stir. I always feel that there will be a major event sweeping through Earth Prison,” Lord Dog said, twitching his mouth.

Ice Saint glanced at him and didn’t say anything.

The Black Temple and the Cave of the Fallen Gods were the two other forbidden lands in Earth Prison.

Compared with God Vanishing Mountain, these two places were more terrible, dangerous, and cruel, and the experts who dwelt there were also extremely formidable.

In fact, there were supreme existences lurking in all the forbidden lands, whether they were in Earth Prison or Nether Prison.

If these experts could act and do as they please, neither Earth Prison nor Nether Prison could stop them.

Indeed, there were restrictions in all the forbidden lands that prevented them from leaving. Ice Saint was seriously wounded because she arbitrarily left the forbidden land.

However, those restrictions could not trap them forever. The life of experts in forbidden lands was infinitely long. They were immortal…

If one day, the restrictions of the forbidden lands no longer exist, the whole Netherworld might plunge into a bloody storm.

Not all supreme existences in forbidden lands were as good-tempered as Ice Saint…

The nine-tailed fox and the six-tailed fox were slowly recovering from their injuries. Their vitality was extremely strong as they had always bathed in the Spring of Life, so their wounds would soon heal.

As for Lord Dog, he was asked to stay by Ice Saint, so he simply lay somewhere not far from the Spring of Life and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Bu Fang sat cross-legged on a boulder, frowning and lost in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.

Ice Saint sat gracefully in her ice coffin with Foxy in her arms. She had a gentle look in her eyes as she lightly stroked the little fox’s head.

The nine-tailed fox sat in the distance with its tails twitching from time to time, while the six-tailed fox dived back into the seven-colored pool.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

Three days later, Bu Fang slowly opened his eyes, which flashed with a look of understanding.

Even then, his energy began to transform drastically and soared by leaps and bounds!

In just a flash, he had reached the Nine-star True Immortal Realm.

The system’s serious voice rang out in his head. “Congratulations on completing the targeted sales quota and taking another step toward the goal of becoming the God of Cooking. The reward for the task…”
