Gourmet of Another World

Everyone who had gathered in front of the restaurant was taken aback. Many of them turned their heads and looked into the distance, where the Cursed Goddess’s Palace stood. No one expected such an aura to erupt from there.

Countess Aitang sucked in a cold breath and narrowed her eyes. Her lips, swollen from the Death Spicy Strip, had not recovered. “Is Her Excellency Soul starting to… break the bottleneck?” she said.

With a nod, Marchioness Ruoshui said, “Once Her Excellency Soul succeeds in breaking through, I’m afraid there will be a major change in Void City.”

As a marquis, she naturally knew some secrets. Soul was so powerful that the other two Cursed Goddesses were no match for her. With the trump cards in her hand, she could hardly lose.

Rumble…

Dark clouds were rolling in from all directions, and even Chaotic Energy was lingering over the palace. The great commotion made the breakthrough in the restaurant seem uninteresting.

Master Zhen Yong’s fate was indeed miserable. It seemed that no matter when, he could never be the center of attention. Every challenge he had taken on had failed, and now even his breakthrough had coincidentally collided with Soul’s breakthrough.

Many people felt bad for him, but at the moment, he did not care about that. He was immersed in the ocean of Chaotic Energy. The birth of a wisp of Chaotic Energy had given his cultivation base a boost.

He was already a peak Saint of the Great Path, only half a step away from entering into the realm of Chaotic Saints. Now, under the stimulation of the Death Spicy Strip and Dragon Whisker Noodles, his cultivation base erupted like a volcano, instantly breaking through the bottleneck and entering the realm of Chaotic Saints!

Ripples of energy continued to spread from Master Zhen Yong, permeating the surroundings.

The little girl stood in the distance and watched calmly as Master Zhen Yong was breaking through, while Bu Fang was holding a cup of tea and appeared to be very calm as well.

Viscount Ash wore a smile on her face. She was genuinely happy for Master Zhen Yong. She had witnessed his perseverance, and now that he had finally broken through, it was indeed something to be congratulated for.

As Master Zhen Yong continued to make the breakthrough, Bu Fang, holding his cup of tea, walked outside the restaurant and looked up into the distance. The sky there was already covered with dark clouds, while the curse power turned into nine black dragons, swimming in midair.

‘Has Cursed Goddess Soul started to break through as well?’

At this moment, Nethery came to his side. There was neither joy nor sorrow in her black eyes.

Meanwhile, in another Cursed Goddess Palace, Houtu, dressed in an elegant robe, stood in front of a pair of bronze doors with her hands behind her back, looking up at the nine black dragons roaring across the sky. Her face was indifferent.

Duchess Nightmare came over to the Cursed Goddess’s side. Her hair kept floating like smoke. “Looks like it’s time for us to get ready, too,” she said.

Houtu nodded calmly. The war between the Primitive Universe and the Soul Demon Universe had reached a feverish stage, and Void City was perhaps the most important key to break the balance. Therefore, she was not going to give up the throne of Void City.

Outside the city, the void suddenly began to distort, forming a rift. Soon, one after another figure came out of the rift. Their aura was extremely powerful as if they could destroy everything at any time. The leader was an expert wrapped in black robes with scarlet eyes. He was holding an hourglass in his hand, in which golden sand was slowly flowing.

“The Hourglass of Time and Space is ready… Now we wait for Soul to succeed to the throne.”

A voice rang out, shaking the void. Then, a powerful blast rushed in all directions with a rumble, shattering many bone warships. The next moment, the black-robed man raised his hand and lightly waved it forward.

At the sight of the gesture, the other figures behind him flew frantically into the distance, the sound of their hissing and roaring echoing through the universe. Soon, they leaped over the bone warships and reached the base of Void City, which was shaped like an inverted cone. They landed there and merged with the base of the city…

The leader’s black robe flapped noisily, while the golden sand in the Hourglass of Time and Space was flowing at a steady rate.

In the restaurant, Bu Fang was chewing on tea leaves. The bitter and sweet taste of the tea filled his mouth at the same time. The little girl leaned close to him and said, “I want more noodles…”

Bu Fang just gently patted her head and did not say anything.

Master Zhen Yong’s breakthrough was nearing its end. It was the first time he had experienced such a smooth breakthrough. Bu Fang’s food was delicious and had no side effects, so it was the perfect way to break through a bottleneck.

After compressing the Chaotic Energy in his hand, Master Zhen Yong opened his eyes. At this moment, Soul’s breakthrough was not over yet. There was no doubt that her reserves were much stronger than his.

“How do you feel?” Bu Fang asked casually. He produced an oyster pancake and took a bite.

With an excited look on his face, Master Zhen Yong sensed the strength in him, which was much stronger than before. Then, he licked his lips, savoring the taste of the Dragon Whisker Noodles.

“It’s hard to imagine that food can have this kind of power! Why did the Queen of Curses ban food? The effect of this stuff is much better than even pills! All pills are slightly poisonous, but food can have the same effect as a pill while satisfying the palate! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!”

Master Zhen Yong expressed his inner shock by saying ‘unbelievable’ twice in a row.

The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly. “Now that you’ve had your fill, you should leave here. However, those of you who have succeeded in the challenges have also earned the right to try other dishes in this restaurant at any time. Would you like to try it now?”

Viscount Ash and Master Zhen Yong’s eyes lit up. Compared to Soul’s breakthrough, this was not even worthy of attention, but some of the experts outside turned their projection arrays into the restaurant. The little girl’s eyes gleamed as well.

The two winners began to order food in the restaurant.

Many people looked at each other. Wasn’t this restaurant the supporter behind Nethery? Why was the chef so calm when Soul was about to break through? Was he not worried at all that Soul would come after them after she made the breakthrough?

Soul was a very ruthless person. She would never let anyone who could potentially threaten her continue to exist. For her, Nethery was already a dead person. She did not kill her in the past, but if she completed her breakthrough, she would not spare her again.

At this point, the best way to save Nethery, who was not competitive in any way, was to take her away. Even though she had Duchess Yunlan guarding her, Soul must have taken this into account. She definitely had a way to get rid of the duke.

In the crowd’s astonished gaze, Nethery also ordered a dish. Bu Fang nodded, turned, went into the kitchen, and began to cook. The restaurant was soon filled with the mouth-watering aroma of food.

Not long after that, Xiao Ai came over and set the delicious dishes in front of them. The little girl, Viscount Ash, and Master Zhen Yong ate happily, their lips glistening with grease. From their looks, they had been completely captivated by the food.

Through the projection arrays, the scene of these three people frantically tasting the food was instantly spread throughout Void City, causing many people to drool and swallow.

On one side, Soul was busy breaking through, while on this side, Nethery was leisurely eating delicious food with the people around her. The onlookers did not know whether to cry or laugh when looking at their calm attitude. Nethery ate elegantly, and from time to time, she shared her food with Foxy.

Suddenly, a dragon roar spread throughout Void City, and everything began to shake. The nine black dragons in the sky tore the void and burrowed into it, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The next moment, Chaotic Energy, the power of curse, and the power of sin slowly fell, bursting with a tremendous amount of energy.

In the Cursed Goddess Palace, Soul hovered in midair. Her hair was loose and spread out, and she was naked. The black orb floated in front of her chest. The power of sin was constantly spreading from it and pouring into her body, making her stronger and stronger.

Soon, her aura broke through from the level of a Saint of the Great Path to the level of a Chaotic Saint. The shackles that had held her back for a long time had finally been broken!

With a thought in her mind, the power of sin condensed into a thin garment and wrapped her body in it. She opened her eyes, which gleamed with a piercing gaze. Her aura grew even stronger and became more terrifying now.

“I finally made it…”

Holding the black orb, Soul lifted the corners of her mouth slightly to reveal a happy smile. The orb turned a little and stared at her like a big eyeball. She saw her reflection on its surface.

“Almost there… I’m almost there!” Soul murmured. With a boom, the Chaotic Energy inside her erupted, and the bronze doors burst into pieces instantly.

Duchess Tianlian, who was guarding the doors like a white lotus, raised her hand. The crumbling doors were instantly held in place and then smashed to the ground. Her hair kept fluttering, while her eyes flashed with a strange look.

After a long time, a graceful figure wearing a thin black garment slowly walked from the depths of the palace.

“You made it?” Duchess Tianlian asked with a smile. Although Soul had only just broken through, the aura emanating from her made even the duke, who stood at the pinnacle of the Chaotic Saint realm, feel a little creepy.

“Yes…” Soul said, grinning. Then, she turned and looked beyond the palace. “Aunt Lian, it’s time for the plan to begin.”

The smile on Duchess Tianlian’s face gradually disappeared. Eventually, it turned into a sigh.

In a flash, Soul’s figure turned into numerous shadows and rushed out of the palace, accompanied by a supreme aura.

In Cooking God Little Kitchen, those who had had their fill leaned back comfortably in their chairs. Duchess Yunlan also tried some food. She had no taboos about food because she knew why the Queen hated it.

Suddenly, the noblewoman opened her eyes, and a serious look came over her face.

“What’s the matter?” asked Nethery when she sensed the change in the duke’s emotion.

Duchess Yunlan took a deep breath. “Nethery, protect yourself. I must go to the palace. The Queen summoned me,” she said.

Outside, the black dragons in the sky had disappeared. This meant that Soul had completed her breakthrough. And this was when the Queen summoned her. It was very sensitive timing. However, even if the summon was false, she had to go.

She stood up and gave Bu Fang a deep look. “Take care of Nethery, little chef.” After saying that, she took a step and then disappeared.

Viscount Ash, Master Zhen Yong, and the others also sensed something unusual, and they sucked in their breath.

The nobles who had gathered outside the restaurant to watch the challenge were leaving. Suddenly, a figure in a black dress appeared in midair, facing the restaurant door.

Bu Fang was startled, while Nethery narrowed her eyes. They looked at each other, then walked out of the restaurant together and looked up at Soul, who was hovering in midair.
