Gourmet of Another World

“That woman… is also here!” The ghostly fire in the silver skeleton’s eye sockets kept beating, and it opened its mouth as if it were taking deep breaths.

“Sure enough… Even the crazy woman of God Vanishing Mountain can’t sit still upon learning the wine that can help Great Saints break through!” the figure wrapped in black mist also couldn’t help saying.

Empress Bi Luo’s bright red gown kept waving as she approached with big strides. There was a split in her gown from her waist down, so her long fair legs could be vaguely seen as she moved.

When she saw the silver skeleton and the black mist in the sky, the corners of her mouth curved upward into a disdainful smile. “The Cave of the Fallen Gods and the Black Temple… It looks like what Owner Bu came out with this time is remarkable. I need to quickly get it from him.”

A thoughtful look came over Bi Luo’s beautiful face as her red lips slightly parted. Then, she walked toward Forbidden Soul City at a steady pace, swaying her waist.

The silver skeleton snorted. This was considered an open competition between the three forbidden lands, which would have an impact on their faces. Although the Cave of the Fallen Gods didn’t have faces when compared with God Vanishing Mountain, they couldn’t lose to the Black Temple!

With a rumbling sound, the silver skeleton started toward the city. After he left, the skeletons all over the place sunk back into the ground.

The Black Temple expert, on the other hand, gave an evil laugh and headed toward the city as well.

…

Nethery had returned with You Ji and the others. They brought a large sum of money with them, each carrying at least one million Nether Crystals. They also wanted to taste the little restaurant’s wine.

When they arrived, people were already crowded in front of the restaurant. With Foxy in her arms, Nethery walked past the line and entered the restaurant.

Bu Fang was sitting at a dining table. The jade jar was placed at his side, while many blue-and-white porcelain glasses were placed on the table. All the glasses were filled with colorful wine, which shone dazzlingly in the restaurant’s light. Overall, it was a wonderful sight.

The moment Nethery walked in, Bu Fang rested his eyes on her and said faintly, “You’re back?”

Nethery nodded. Then, she narrowed her eyes, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Bu Fang. “Here’s one million Nether Crystals… Give me a glass of wine,” she said seriously.

Bu Fang didn’t hesitate to fulfill that. He picked up a glass and handed it to her.

Several heads of aristocratic families standing in front of the table exchanged glances.

“Is this wine really worth one million Nether Crystals?!” They were still a little hesitant. After all, the price was not a small sum, and it was a great burden to an aristocratic family. Nether Crystals were not crystals. The difference between the two was huge.

A glass of this wine was… worth several cities.

Nethery took the glass handed to her by Bu Fang and pursed her red lips. She was already impatient.

You Ji, Luo Ji, and the other Prison Overlords also stepped through the door. For a moment, the restaurant became very lively. They rested their eyes on Nethery.

Holding the blue-and-white porcelain glass, Nethery slightly opened her mouth and poured the wine into her mouth.

A Great Saint could break through after drinking this wine. What would be the effect after a Little Saint drank it? This was the question in many people’s minds. If the wine could help a Great Saint break through a level, surely it would help a Little Saint break through three to four levels, right?

Many people thought the same. If the wine really had this effect, it was indeed worthy of one million Nether Crystals! If it really could help a Little Saint break through three to four levels, perhaps the whole Earth Prison would become crazy!

Nethery finished the wine in one gulp, her smooth neck moving as she swallowed. Her eyes were closed, and her gray-green hair swayed behind her.

The moment the wine entered her mouth, her face wrinkled, and she opened her mouth. Apparently, she was stung by the pungency of the wine.

“It’s very spicy…” Nethery wrinkled her nose and said.

Foxy reached out a tiny paw, grabbed the glass, and sniffed it. Her eyes lit up in an instant. Then, she stuck out her tongue and licked all the remaining wine in the glass.

All the people were watching curiously with wide eyes at Nethery. They didn’t know what would happen to her after she drank the wine. Would she break through? Would she break through a few levels at once?

After drinking the wine, Nethery’s pale face turned red instantly. She opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and breathed hot air.

Foxy, who licked the wine, also looked confused as she lay on Nethery’s shoulder with a red face.

Suddenly, Nethery stumbled and almost fell. Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. He was expecting this, so he put an arm around her waist.

That turned the girl’s face completely red. She opened her mouth, and her breaths smelled of alcohol.

“De-deli-delicious…” Nethery said, her eyes narrowed.

After Bu Fang put his arm around her waist, she kept shaking her head, then she thrust her head at Bu Fang, smashing her forehead into his…

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched violently. He knew that Nethery would not be easy to take care of after she was drunk.

As for Foxy, who was lying on Nethery’s shoulder, she was already limp and looked as if she was about to fall off. Bu Fang took her and put her on his shoulder. Rubbing the little fox’s warm head, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

His head was hit a few times in a row, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. When others were drunk, they usually talked nonsense or slapped the bed. Why did Nethery like to smash her head against others when she was drunk?

“Whitey,” Bu Fang called faintly.

Whitey lifted the curtain and walked out of the kitchen, its mechanical eyes flashing.

“Guard the wine. I’ll be right back,” Bu Fang said. After that, he took Nethery’s hand, put Foxy on his shoulder, and started toward the second floor. Even then, Nethery tried to hit him with her head again, but Bu Fang raised his hand and blocked it with his palm. He patted her on the face, feeling helpless.

He realized that not everyone was like him, who behaved himself so well after drinking.

Buzz…

Suddenly, Bu Fang halted his steps and narrowed his eyes. You Ji, the other Prison Overlords, and the heads of many aristocratic families all turned their gazes over.

Nethery drank the wine, so in addition to forgetting herself, she would also have a breakthrough, which was everyone’s concern.

RUMBLE!

Sure enough, her aura began to soar rapidly. Without a doubt, it was the sign that she was about to break through.

However, to their surprise, the soaring lasted only for a short while, and in the end, Nethery only broke through one level. She was now a Two-revolution Little Saint.

After the outbreak of the cursed snake, Nethery had suffered a severe side effect, but her cultivation base had improved significantly as well. Moreover, the cursed snake had been imperceptibly enhancing her cultivation base. Now, after drinking the glass of wine, her cultivation base had broken through one level.

“Only one level?”

“A Little Saint can only break through one level after drinking the wine?”

“This… Did she drink fake wine?”

The heads of aristocratic families were all struck dumb. They couldn’t help frowning, their minds filled with doubts.

However, it was obvious that Bu Fang’s wine was not fake. In this case, it meant that the wine could help a Little Saint break through one level only. Or, in other words, the wine could help the drinker break through one level, regardless of his or her current level.

Such an effect was already heaven-defying, but many people felt regret, especially Little Saints. If the wine could only help them break through one level, it wasn’t worth one million Nether Crystals a glass to them. Usually, the cultivation resources of a million Nether Crystals could be used by several Little Saints for several years.

However, to Great Saints or Nine-revolution Little Saints, the wine was a divine wine! If a Nine-revolution Little Saint drank the wine, they might be able to break through into the Great Saint Realm. To Earth Prison, it was great news because it would have many new Great Saints! Therefore, this wine has its benefits!

Nethery’s breakthrough was over, but Bu Fang’s face grew serious. In the distance, You Ji, with the hefty sword on her back, turned pale when she saw Nethery’s look.

A bright green light suddenly burst out of Nethery’s body, and the cold, evil-looking cursed snake could be vaguely seen around her, fixing its cold eyes at Bu Fang.

It was a long time before the bright green light faded away.

“The cursed snake…” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. Thinking about the curse in Nethery, he felt a little headache.

He took her by the hand and went to the second floor. Then, he opened the door to her room, stepped into it, and placed her on the bed. He also brought Foxy down from his shoulder and placed her next to Nethery’s head.

The girl and the fox slept soundly on the bed. Bu Fang left the room, closed the door, and came back to the dining area.

Meanwhile, the news that the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine could only help a Little Saint break through a level had already spread. The family heads waiting in line immediately exchanged glances. Many of them didn’t want to wait any longer and left. They were here for the wine, for its effect of helping them break through. Since it could help a Great Saint break through a level, they thought it would help a Little Saint break through at least three to four levels.

Now, however, it seemed that the wine was not as magical as many had claimed.

Bu Fang was calm, and he watched with a straight face as the people waiting in the line left. He had expected this. These people were just opportunists. They wanted to use the wine to break through several levels at once, but there was never such an easy thing in the world.

Although the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine was magical, breaking through three or four levels at a time was not good for cultivators. Instead, Bu Fang felt that it was great to break through just one level because the wine could cleanse their bodies and strengthen their foundations, which was the key.

Bu Fang’s expression remained unchanged as he watched one expert after another left.

You Ji and the others looked at him with growing respect, amazed by his calm behavior at such a great turn of events.

They, too, paid the money and bought the wine. As the wine was not allowed to be taken out of the restaurant, they drank it on the spot.

After drinking the wine, they were all drunk.

Jin Jiao’s face was red, and he kept slapping himself on the chest and shouting. Luo Ji giggled incessantly. Normally, they were awe-inspiring Prison Overlords, but they still acted like a fool when drunk.

Even the unsmiling You Ji began to swing her sword in the restaurant after drinking the wine.

Bu Fang rubbed the center of his brows and asked Whitey to send them out of the restaurant.

Although many heads of aristocratic families had left in disappointment, thinking that the wine wasn’t worth one million Nether Crystals, there were still many remaining. They all paid for the wine, drank it, and broke through on the spot. Of course, they became drunk as well and were sent out of the restaurant by Whitey.

Since they were drunk, Bu Fang didn’t consider them as troublemakers. Otherwise, the Clothes-Stripping Crazy Demon would have to strike again.

Nether King Er Ha arrived quietly. The moment he stepped through the door, he burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha! Bu Fang young man… your wine is excellent! You’re worthy of being the man appreciated by me!”

Bu Fang still remembered the words uttered by this fellow when he was drunk yesterday. At the thought of that, a cold smile immediately came over his face.

‘Stinking cu*t?’ He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Nether King Er Ha’s laugh came to an abrupt stop, and he felt a shock of cold stab through him. ‘What happened?’ He couldn’t figure out why he felt that.

“Give me another glass of wine!” Nether King Er Ha said, grinning.

Why should he cultivate when he could break through by drinking? All he had to do was drink a glass of wine every day, and in a few days, he would be stronger than his father!

“And bring me a few spicy strips…” he said. His spicy strips had just run out.

“Spicy strips? No more.” Bu Fang glanced at Nether King Er Ha and just handed him a glass of wine without any spicy strips.

‘Who did you call stinking cu*t yesterday?’

“Why are there no spicy strips? Impossible… I saw you still had them yesterday…” Nether King Er Ha’s eyes went wide. He didn’t believe Bu Fang. “Aye, you’re a naughty young man! Come, give me spicy strips. I’ll pay you!”

He grinned, produced another cloth bag, and waved it at Bu Fang’s face.

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth with a cold look. “Well, as a stinking cu*t, I don’t have spicy strips. In fact, it never existed, and it will never exist again in this lifetime…”

Nether King Er Ha was shocked when he heard that. ‘How did Bu Fang young man know the term stinking cu*t?! What happened? Heaven, did I do something incredible after drinking the wine? I can’t remember anything now…’

However, when he saw Bu Fang’s expressionless face, Nether King Er Ha decided to just shut his mouth. Holding his glass, he walked to the side and drank it. Then, he narrowed his eyes and touched his chin, waiting for the pleasure of breaking through to come.

He waited for a long time, but what he got was just dizziness. The breakthrough didn’t appear.

‘What?’ Nether King Er Ha froze. ‘Could it be that… this wine only helps one break through when drunk for the first time? Tell me this isn’t happening?’

A crisp sound of footfalls rang through the door, accompanied by a fragrance.

“Oh, what an amazing smell. Owner Bu… It’s been a long time. What good thing have you come out with this time?” A soft and sweet voice echoed through the air.

Many heads of aristocratic families who decided to remain were struck dumb by what they saw. The elegant figure was breathtakingly beautiful.

Empress Bi Luo stepped into the restaurant with a smile on her peerless face.
