Gourmet of Another World

The System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head, causing his eyes, which were about to close, to open slightly.

‘Hmm?’

He was a little puzzled, as he did not expect the System to talk to him at this moment.

‘Attention, Host, you have a temporary task: Please help the princess of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty get rid of the Soul Demon’s pursuit. Temporary task reward: A God of Cooking divine power liquid drop.’

That gave Bu Fang pause, and his slightly open eyes became fully open. ‘This temporary task is very… interesting. I need to save someone? It’s a pity that the reward isn’t a Fruit of Law…’

He only needed one more Fruit of Law to comprehend the fifth supreme Law of the Universe, and then he would reach perfection.

‘Wait… The princess of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty? How could she be pursued by the Soul Demon? How could the Empress allow her to be pursued?’

Suddenly, Bu Fang seemed to think of something. His body, which was lying languidly on the recliner, sat up straight as he sucked in a cold breath.

“Could it be that… Unless the Empress is no longer able to protect the crown princess, there is no way she would be pursued…’

Just as Bu Fang was pondering, there was a whistling sound from the sky. He frowned, raised his head, and looked up at Gold Armor, who was flying through the air at high speed.

Gold Armor seemed to sense the gaze. He turned his head, looked at Bu Fang, and nodded. Then, without even stopping, he continued to speed away toward the distance with his Gold Armor Guard.

‘It seems that something really serious has happened… What could it be?’ Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he no longer had the mood to take a break.

The Titan crown prince had returned to the restaurant and was practicing his cooking skills in the kitchen. His hatred of the Soul Demons had been turned into motivation for him to learn cooking.

Nethery sat lazily in a corner, and Lord Dog was lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, his body constantly emitting a profound aura between breaths.

In the other corner of the restaurant, Er Ha was chatting with Luo Sanniang’s girlfriends. He was now known as the Ladies’ Friend, a good friend of the noblewomen in the capital.

Bu Fang stood up. Nethery looked over to him at once as if she noticed something different in him. The next moment, her eyes lit up.

“Where are you going? Take me with you,” she said.

Bu Fang paused, hesitating to take her with him.

Nethery blinked, then she shook her hand, and the black Netherworld Ship immediately appeared. “The Netherworld Ship has been repaired. I can take you to where you want to go with it,” she said seriously. In this restaurant, she was a shipowner.

Staying in the restaurant all day made her feel bored, so she wanted to find something exciting to do.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he looked at Nethery’s determined look. Then, when he turned to the repaired ship and saw its condition, he could not help nodding in approval.

Not long ago, Nethery had asked Er Ha to find the best warship designers in the capital through those noblewomen friends of his, and then asked the designers to give the ship a new upgrade. Now, the Netherworld Ship was considered a top-of-the-line warship, with not only a luxurious interior but also extraordinary power.

Perhaps that was all Er Ha could do now.

Bu Fang once again thought about the task the System had given him. He felt that there should be no great danger in saving the princess. Since that was the case, he agreed to let Nethery go with him.

After getting Bu Fang’s consent, Nethery’s eyes narrowed—she could not wait to jump on the ship. Foxy jumped off Bu Fang’s shoulder and landed on the ship as well, jumping up and down excitedly.

“Be patient… Wait for me as I need to make a few bowls of stinky tofu first…” Bu Fang said lightly, looking at the impatient Nethery. After that, he turned and headed for the kitchen.

The atmosphere in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was clearly becoming somewhat tense and sharp. There were experts constantly flying back and forth in the sky, and everyone’s eyes were filled with vigilance.

The Xiayi Divine Emperor’s decision of strengthening the defense puzzled many people. They did not think he should be in such a mood. After all, they had just won a great victory. His attitude made it seem as if they had not won but suffered a major defeat.

The people’s confusion did not stop the Divine Emperor’s decree from being carried out. The experts of all the aristocratic families had left their mansions and joined the forces to defend the capital.

Meanwhile, another of the Divine Emperor’s decree had come down. He encouraged all the experts in the capital to go to Bu Fang’s restaurant tomorrow to buy stinky tofu. That confused even more people, but when the crown prince made the effect of stinky tofu public, the whole capital was boiling.

Stinky tofu was the Soul Demon’s nemesis!

The announcement excited many people. The fact that a method that could restrain the Soul Demon was found was good news for all. Within moments, many aristocratic families in the capital became restless and began sending their experts to the restaurant to buy stinky tofu.

Before the restaurant opened for business, a long queue had already appeared in front of its door. Not only these aristocratic families, but even some ordinary experts had also come to line up in front of the restaurant. After all, anyone with source stones could buy stinky tofu. This was a very low threshold, so many people wanted to try it for themselves.

Of course, some found this behavior ridiculous. Stinky tofu could restrain Soul Demons? Was it because it stank so badly that those fearsome Soul Demons would die upon sniffing it? These people did not take the Divine Emperor’s decree seriously.

However, most people still wanted to try it. After all, they did not think the Divine Emperor would deceive them.

In one corner of the starry sky, the Dragon Valley, ruled by the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, had turned into a dead land. Countless corpses of giant dragons floated everywhere, including many divine dragons with five claws. Among the dragons, the five-clawed divine dragons were top-level existences, and their strength was not inferior to that of human high-grade God Kings. Even so, they had fallen.

The entire great world was emanating a miserable aura.

The Dragon Valley had fallen. Its top leaders had retreated to other great worlds, and many of its talented geniuses had been transferred to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital to avoid being exterminated by the Soul Demons.

Suddenly, the void at the entrance to the Dragon Valley distorted, and then an array emerged, flashing with bright light. The next moment, two figures flew out of it with great speed.

Ah Mo’s face was very pale, but her eyes were full of determination. She took the crown princess’s hand and kept flying forward. Although her heart was filled with grief, she told herself that she needed to be strong because the princess still needed her protection.

“Your Highness, we must speed up! Once we reach the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, we’ll be safe!”

Ah Mo choked back her grief. The fact that the Empress had asked her to take the crown princess to escape was a sign that the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty might not be able to withstand the Soul Demon’s attack.

The crown princess, whose face was covered with a veil, nodded obediently. She had always been a nice girl. Both the Empress and all the courtiers liked her very much. Unfortunately, she had a weak personality, and that was not a good thing.

Ah Mo took a look at the princess and sighed in her heart. Could a princess with this kind of personality really be able to carry the hopes of humanity? She was not very sure.

However, the crown princess’s talent was indeed amazing. In just a short time, she had already comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe. It was like cheating.

‘Is this the so-called Chosen Child? I really envy this kind of person who comprehends the supreme Laws as easily as drinking water…’

Ah Mo released her energy to wrap around the crown princess. Then, with a wave of her hand, an ancient warship appeared in front of them. After they boarded the ship, it began to fly at a very high speed in the direction of the Xiyi Divine Dynasty’s capital.

Although this was the Dragon Valley, it had fallen, so they were still not out of danger. The dragon corpses floating around and the dark aura that filled the air both weighed heavily on Ah Mo’s heart.

In the Chaotic Universe, the Dragon Valley was a great power that was not weaker than the Phoenix Nest, yet it still ended up in such a miserable state and was completely destroyed. This proved once again that the Soul Demon was the catastrophe of the Chaotic Universe.

At that moment, Ah Mo suddenly felt sad and angry. She knew there were Heavengods in the Chaotic Universe, but why did they not appear when such a disaster struck? What were those Heavengods, who were so lofty and represented the ultimate in the supreme Laws of the Universe, doing?

The Dragon Valley was destroyed. The signs of destruction were everywhere: the buildings had collapsed, dragon corpses and blood could be seen drifting aimlessly in midair, and dragon scales scattered all over the ground.

Ah Mo did not dare to stay for even a moment.

Suddenly, the ground beneath them exploded, and a huge black dragon came flying out of it. It had five claws, its scales were shiny black, and its eyes were scarlet. It looked just like those Titan experts possessed by the Soul Demons.

This was a divine dragon possessed by a Soul Demon!

Ah Mo’s breathing became rapid. Her divine sense surged as she began to steer the warship to move even faster. She did not dare to fight here because she felt a greater danger looming over them.

A group of Soul Demons was chasing them from behind. To these Soul Demons, the crown princess who had comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe was a delicacy, a great tonic!

This made Ah Mo dare not stop at all.

Roar!

The dragon let out a deafening roar, its scarlet eyes gleaming ferociously. The next moment, it opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of black dragon’s breath at the warship.

The warship began to shake violently, while the defensive array outside it was constantly being corroded. Ah Mo glanced at the claws of the demon dragon. When she saw five claws, she immediately knew that it was a five-clawed divine dragon whose flesh had been possessed by a Soul Demon! In other words, it was a divine dragon comparable to a top-grade God King!

As the Protector of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, Ah Mo also possessed the strength of a top-grade God King. In fact, her fighting prowess was not weaker than this five-clawed divine dragon. However, she dared not fight here!

The warship moved at high speed in midair, constantly making various difficult evasive moves. Eventually, it successfully avoided the terrifying dragon’s breath.

The divine dragon actually had half of its body sealed in the Dragon Valley. It kept struggling, causing the already crumbling great world to start shaking. Suddenly, it roared again, slapped its claws at the ground, and struggled out of it.

Saliva kept dripping from its mouth as it stared at the warship with monstrous greed and desire in its scarlet eyes. It smelled something delicious! With a boom, the divine dragon threw out its paw and smashed half of the warship to pieces. The warship began to lose control, spinning rapidly in midair.

Ah Mo’s face turned deathly pale, and sweat had covered her forehead. The next moment, she gritted her teeth and pulled the crown princess out of the warship. She decided to abandon the ship!

Roar!

Even then, one dragon after another flew out of the Dragon Valley, each emanating a powerful aura. They were all newly hatched Soul Demon Dragons!

“Dammit!” Ah Mo was furious. She pulled the crown princess close to her and unleashed her aura, then shot toward the distance at top speed.

Suddenly, not far ahead of them, a pale bone warship tore through the void and made its appearance, blocking their path. Many Soul Demons stood at the bow, looking at them with cold scarlet eyes.

As these Soul Demons laughed evilly, a terrifying aura began to spread and fill the air.

Ah Mo held the crown princess’s hand with a despaired look on her face. She realized that they were surrounded. There were Soul Demons in front of them, and the five-clawed divine dragon was behind them. This was simply a hopeless situation.

Her heart was trembling. She felt a little sad that she had failed the Empress by not being able to protect the crown princess.

The princess seemed to feel Ah Mo’s grief. She reached out a hand and gently patted her on the shoulder to soothe her.

‘What a nice crown princess… It’s a pity that she is about to become food for these Soul Demons…’

Ah Mo’s heart was filled with sadness.

Roar!

An icy dragon roar struck them in the ears. The crown princess was shivering. She seemed to have known her fate, and she sighed.

From the moment she was discovered by the Empress in that small world to now, when she had become the brightest genius in the Chaotic Universe, she felt everything was like a dream. Although the Empress had always said that she was the most gifted genius, she knew she was not.

There was a genius who was even more gifted than her. It was a pity that she had not seen him for a long time. Perhaps she would die here today, and she would never see him again.

The Soul Demons on the bone warship were sneering and looking greedily at the two women they had surrounded. They loved to feel the human despair.

“Attack! Leave the veiled woman alive… She is wanted by the Soul Overlord!” said a Numbered Soul Demon.

Indeed, they had already started calling Soul Thirteen as Soul Overlord. Although he had not really broken through the Soul Overlord realm yet, the mere gap did not prevent him from changing his title.

The Soul Demon Dragon roared and slapped out its paw, while the Numbered Soul Demon exploded with a plume of black smoke and shot toward the two women like a black lightning bolt.

Ah Mo gave a long scream as her aura continued to climb. There was no way that she would just sit back and wait for death to come.

“Fight!”

Rumble!

Different auras clashed fiercely in midair, while waves of energy swept out in all directions.

Ah Mo had just exchanged a blow with the few Numbered Soul Demons and the Soul Demon Dragon, but she was instantly wounded. Her body was severely battered and bleeding profusely. She wanted to fight her way out, but now it seemed impossible…

She fell back next to the crown princess with blood dripping from the corners of her mouth.

“Your Majesty… I’m sorry…” Ah Mo closed her eyes in despair.

The Soul Demons laughed evilly, while the Soul Demon Dragon roared as it flew toward Ah Mo and the crown princess.

The crown princess sighed, patted Ah Mo on the shoulder, and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, with a creaking sound, the void not far in front of them was torn open, and then a black warship slowly sailed out of it. At the front of the ship stood a woman in a black dress. She had a stunning face and long, ghostly green hair.

On her shoulder lay a little fox with white fur like snow, its nine tails swinging from side to side. Beside her, a slim man walked slowly out of the cabin with a look as if he had just woken up.

The crown princess opened her eyes and looked ahead, confused. Her eyes were instantly drawn to the warship. The next moment, her jaw dropped.
