Gourmet of Another World

A bright, dazzling golden light lit up the sky and almost blinded Niu Hansan’s eyes.It was like a treasure that had been covered with dust for a long time was suddenly unearthed. Its brilliance, which had been hidden for countless years, broke free instantly and shone as bright as it possibly could.

Even then, a dragon roar sounding like it was descending from the skies rang beside his ears, making his flesh creep. At the same time, a crushing force fell upon him, breaking the wooden chair beneath him and sending his fat body crashing to the ground, his fat flesh wobbling.

“F*ck…” That was Niu Hansan’s first word after his eyes widened in shock.

In front of him, the golden light gradually faded away, and soon, the source of the light was revealed.

“F*ck…” It was still the same word. At this moment, only this word could perfectly express the shock in his heart.

“Owner… Owner Bu?” Niu Hansan took a deep breath. He felt that what he saw was an illusion.

Before his eyes was Bu Fang’s protruding figure. That’s right, Bu Fang was standing with his chest stuck out and his bottom tilted upward. Golden light swirled around him as his golden hair fluttered in the wind, his blurry eyes gleaming brilliantly.

“Yo-ho, Little Cow Cow,” Bu Fang called, half-squinting. His chin was resting on one hand while the other hand was on his hip, a posture that was both enchanting and… offensive to the eyes.

Niu Hansan was stunned.

‘We were lying in the chairs together… Why did Owner Bu suddenly go mad? And he even dyed his hair in a flash… Well, he does look good with golden hair. Wait… Little Cow Cow?’

“Owner Bu, who is Little Cow Cow?” Niu Hansan asked in a trembling voice, his lips shivering.

“You, of course!” The corners of Bu Fang’s lips curved upward into a smile that made Niu Hansan’s flesh creep, and he even arched an eyebrow at the latter.

Niu Hansan froze in an instant. He felt that his world had suddenly come crashing down. It never occurred to him that Bu Fang could make such a difficult smile and even raise an eyebrow with that paralyzed face.

‘When did Owner Bu learn to smile? And he even smiled at me? Is it because he’s so addicted to steaks that he’s attracted to all my delicious flesh?!’

Bu Fang… Well, maybe this man shouldn’t be called Bu Fang, because he was not him at all.

“Ah… I can finally come out to breathe the fresh air. Spirit Possession… I didn’t expect that this Little Host would be able to master such a difficult technique so quickly.” Bu Fang rubbed his face with an enigmatic smile.

Niu Hansan stood to the side as if he had seen a ghost, his teeth chattering.

“Fortunately, the Little Host is a man of conscience. This handsome dragon has been with him for so long. If he doesn’t let this handsome dragon experience the spirit possession first, this dragon will not spare him easily,” Bu Fang muttered, his other hand stroking his hair.

“You… Are you still Owner Bu?” Niu Hansan swallowed and asked incredulously with wide eyes.

‘This is definitely not that cold and paralyzed-face Owner Bu! Who the hell is this bit*h that possessed Owner Bu? Or…’

The more Niu Hansan thought about it, the more frightened he became.

‘Could this be the second character that Owner Bu had hidden for a long time? It does make sense… He always wears a straight face… I’m sure that would make his mind a little sick…’

Buzz…

Suddenly, Niu Hansan’s pupils constricted.

The blond Bu Fang suddenly disappeared, and when he appeared the next moment, he was already grabbing Niu Hansan’s neck.

Niu Hansan felt that his thick neck was going to be broken. His mouth opened, and his eyes widened.

‘I’m so intimate with Owner Bu?! This is more intimate than ever! Is Owner Bu trying to kill me because I found out about his secret?!’

“This dragon is calling you, Little Cow Cow… By the way, I want to remind you that I’m not Bu Fang now. You can call me Nicholas the Handsome Dragon.” The blond Bu Fang held out a hand and patted Niu Hansan’s horn with a big smile on his face.

“What… What the hell?” Niu Hansan looked puzzled.

‘Say your name again if you dare!’ he thought.

“Not ‘the hell.’ My name is Nicholas the Handsome Dragon,” Bu Fang said solemnly.

Niu Hansan felt that the world seemed to have become somewhat messy and strange. After thinking seriously for a while, he said, “That’s not as good a name as my Niu Hansan…”

The blond Bu Fang was unconvinced. “Why is Nicholas the Handsome Dragon not a better name than your rustic name, Niu Hansan? You tell me? If you can’t say it, I’ll rip your cow skin away!” the blond Bu Fang said, tightening his grip on Niu Hansan’s neck.

Niu Hansan felt very aggrieved, thinking, ‘Nicholas the Handsome Dragon… What strange name is this? How can it be as simple and direct as Niu Hansan?’

Suddenly, the corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched, and his expression changed. He let go of Niu Hansan’s neck and waved his hand with a helpless look.

“Fine, fine. I won’t waste my time… It wasn’t easy to get out for some fresh air, and yet he wouldn’t let me stay a little longer. What a stingy guy,” the blond Bu Fang said helplessly. When he had finished speaking, his golden hair slowly turned to a blueish black.

In Bu Fang’s spirit sea, he sat cross-legged in the void. In the distance, Vermilion Bird and White Tiger stared at him, while Black Turtle remained motionless.

“Didn’t I say I should be the one who goes out? That silly dragon is a fool and a waste of time,” said Vermilion Bird, sounding resentful as her sweet voice rang over the spirit sea.

Bu Fang wore a straight face. He thought he seemed to have made a wrong decision.

“So that’s what the Spirit Possession is all about? It seems a little…” His voice trailed away. He was somewhat speechless.

“Well, Little Host, though that silly dragon is a bit stupid, he is pretty strong. Spirit Possession will be your main offensive means for a long time to come,” said Vermilion Bird. She stared at Bu Fang with a somewhat amazed look in her eyes as she continued, “We didn’t expect you to be able to unlock the ability of Spirit Possession so quickly. But it’s just as well. We haven’t been out for tens of thousands of years…”

“What does Spirit Possession really do?” Bu Fang floated cross-legged over the spirit sea and looked at Vermilion Bird with an expressionless face, his black hair waving.

“Spirit Possession is the ability that allows us to temporarily take control of your body with your consent, giving it a strong fighting capacity. This fighting capacity is… very strong.

“There is, of course, a time limit. Your current cultivation base should be at the level of half-step Saint. This level of cultivation base is far from enough. I don’t know why you have activated this ability, but your body should not be able to use and hold this for too long. Your current limit should be the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

“In the future, as your cultivation base improves, the duration of Spirit Possession will also lengthen,” Vermilion Bird explained.

“Will you take my body from me?” Bu Fang asked, frowning.

Vermilion Bird paused for a moment, then glanced at Bu Fang with a half-smile. “You’re the host. How dare we do that? Furthermore, you are the master in the process of Spirit Possession, and if you want to withdraw from the state of possession, you can do it at any time. On top of that, we will be severely punished if we occupied the host’s body,” Vermilion Bird said with a smile.

White Tiger, lying in the distance, snorted. Obviously, he thought Bu Fang’s question somewhat ridiculous.

Black Turtle remained motionless in midair.

Bu Fang was lost in thought. He seemed to understand the function of Spirit Possession now. With a thought, his spirit sea surged instantly, and then a golden dragon appeared not far away from him.

“Ah? I, Nicholas the Handsome Dragon, haven’t gotten enough fresh air! Why am I back here now?” Golden Divine Dragon’s eyes went wide as his long, slender body tossed in the spirit sea.

Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Bu Fang all stared coolly at him.

Golden Divine Dragon immediately shut his mouth.

“Nicholas the Handsome Dragon? You really like to put feathers in your own cap, aren’t you? Why don’t you use the name the former Host had given you?” said Vermilion Bird sarcastically.

“Why do you want to mention the name given to me by the former Host? If you don’t want me to be Nicholas the Handsome Dragon, then I won’t use that name! Why mention the former Host? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to mention this when the Little Host is here? Well, Little Host, why don’t you give this handsome dragon a name, so this handsome dragon can tell others in the future,” said Golden Divine Dragon, rolling his eyes at Vermilion Bird and then turning to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang gave Golden Divine Dragon an indifferent look. “Oh… Then your name will be Goldie.”

Golden Divine Dragon’s body froze. He felt that he had made a very foolish decision. How could he ask Bu Fang to name him?! This Little Host, like the former Host, was a complete idiot in naming others!

Bu Fang ignored Golden Divine Dragon’s desperate expression and turned to Vermilion Bird.

“Don’t… Little Host, you just have to name this stupid dragon. I already have a nice name. My name is Mulberry,” said Vermilion Bird hastily.

Bu Fang paused, nodded, then turned to look at White Tiger in the distance.

White Tiger’s hair stood on end instantly. “This tiger got a name too! Howling!” said White Tiger, holding his head high in a proud manner.

“Oh, let me hear your howl, then,” said Bu Fang with a straight face.

White Tiger glared at Bu Fang. ‘If this guy isn’t my Host, I’ll be the first to smash him to death!’

When he saw that White Tiger grew cranky, Bu Fang twitched his lips and turned to look at Black Turtle.

Black Turtle was covered in an earthy-yellow glow. As if sensing Bu Fang’s gaze, his eyes rolled slightly and rested on Bu Fang.

“Little… Host… This turtle… also has a name…” said Black Turtle.

“What’s your name?” Bu Fang asked curiously.

“Black… Turtle…” said Black Turtle.

Bu Fang nodded and said, “That’s a nice name, much better than that Howling.”

In the distance, White Tiger let out a furious howl.

…

Niu Hansan was almost strangled to death, but fortunately, the great force around his neck suddenly disappeared. After coughing for a while, he turned to look at Bu Fang. He was startled once again.

“Owner… Owner Bu?” he called uncertainly, looking at Bu Fang’s dark hair.

“Hmm… Whatever you see or hear next, don’t take it seriously. Those are not done by me,” Bu Fang said expressionlessly, looking at Niu Hansan.

‘What does he mean?’ Niu Hansan was confused again. ‘Why is Owner Bu speaking so mysteriously now?’

The next moment, a huge wave of pressure emerged. This time, there was fiery energy in it.

Boom!

Niu Hansan was taken aback. He hastily stepped backward and covered his neck before turning to look warily at Bu Fang.

The distance was filled with dazzling light as if there were red flames burning. Bu Fang’s Vermilion Chef Robe seemed to come alive as it constantly radiated red light, looking like a soaring Vermilion Bird.

Bu Fang, with red hair all over his head, turned around and looked at Niu Hansan.

The seductive expression on his face made Niu Hansan feel a chill creeping from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.

At this moment, Niu Hansan had only one word left in his mind. ‘F*ck!’

He had never realized that Bu Fang could be so… charming!
