Gourmet of Another World

The explosion did not last for too long. Shrouded in the black fog, Di Ting rushed inside the warship and took all the resources away. After all, Alpha was an emissary of the Divine Dynasty, and he had used his status to travel the starry sky and plunder countless resources, many of which were suitable for the cultivation of Demigods.

In fact, Lord Dog and Di Ting were quite distressed. After cultivating to their current level, this part of the world was no longer suitable for their cultivation. The newly formed great world simply could not provide the resources required for them to break through to a higher realm.

Before they joined hands, they had already agreed that they would share the resources they obtained this time. As the only two Demigods in this part of the world, and the fact that both of them were dogs, there was actually mutual respect between them.

Of course, apart from plundering resources, Di Ting and Lord Dog had to wipe away all of Alpha’s traces. They could not let the Divine Dynasty learn anything. Although they knew nothing about the dynasty, they were aware that it must be a great power in the starry sky. In short, it was not something that the newly formed Great Netherworld could stand up to.

…

The wreckage of the warship was taken away by Di Ting. In return, he traded many resources with Lord Dog. Lord Dog had no objection. The wreckage was useless to him. No one from his side knew what to do with it, and Bu Fang was only a chef.

The battle was over, but the storm it generated swept through the entire Netherworld and aroused heated discussion among people.

The door of the Yellow Spring Little Restaurant was tightly shut, but many figures could be seen inside. Bu Fang sat in a chair, while Tian Cang stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Er Ha was sleeping in a corner to recover his strength, and Lord Dog was lying under the Path-understanding Tree.

In front of them was a heap of things taken from Alpha’s warship. There was only so much left after Lord Dog and Di Ting split the spoils.

“What are these things?”

Everyone was curious, and they began to sort the things out. Among the heap were strange spirit fruits flashing with a purple light, dried tree root, and bizarre ores. These were all cultivation resources. They went through the things and divided them into three piles: a pile for useful things, a pile for useless things, and the last pile were all the unknown things.

The ores could be used to craft weapons. Tian Cang took a black ore. He wanted to use it to re-craft the Nether King Halberd. As for those spirit fruits, Lord Dog pulled them all into his arms. He was unwilling to share these delicious things with others. Bu Fang took one from him, though, because he could plant the fruit in the Heaven and Earth Farmland.

In addition to food, there were some little tools in Alpha’s collection, but Lord Dog crushed them all into a mass of scrap metal and threw it aside.

The rest was the star of the show. They were all food ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and various strange ingredients. The meat was cut into chunks and placed in bronze containers, while the vegetables, which looked strange, were also placed in similar containers with glittering water drops still clinging to them.

When it came to food ingredients, Lord Dog and the others naturally turned their eyes to Bu Fang. They all thought that it was best to hand these ingredients to him, a chef.

“What meat is this?” Bu Fang reached out a hand and picked up a bronze container, puzzled. He removed the lid, and a wave of rich spirit essence immediately gushed out of the container. He gave the meat a little squeeze and found that the texture was somewhat tough. For a moment, he could not tell what spirit beast it belonged to.

For these ingredients he could not distinguish, Bu Fang chose to leave it to the System. He asked in his head. After a moment of silence, the System provided the answer.

‘The meat in the bronze container belonged to a Three-claw True Dragon from the Dragon Valley, which is a first-class great world in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty.’

The System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head. He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up. “This is… True Dragon meat?” The corner of his mouth twitched. He never expected that the emissary would keep so many True Dragon meats in the warship. Did he do that so he could enjoy delicacies cooked with True Dragon meat at any time? It seemed that the emissary was a glutton as well.

Bu Fang’s words left the crowd slightly stunned. The next moment, they exploded into an uproar.

“True Dragon meat?”

“This thing is True Dragon meat?”

“Are you sure? Lord Dog has seen real True Dragon meat, and it doesn’t look like this…”

They chattered noisily, doubt obvious in their voices.

Bu Fang actually didn’t know much about dragon meat. Suddenly an idea came to him, and his mind went into his spirit sea.

Looking at Divine Dragon with his long body stretched out in the spirit sea, he grinned. “Little Nick, I have a question for you,” he said.

That surprised Divine Dragon. He glanced at Vermilion Bird, then at Black Turtle. A confused look came over his face. He never thought that the Little Host would come to ask him questions.

“It seems that Little Host has finally recognized Nicholas the Handsome Dragon’s wisdom…” Divine Dragon grinned.

Vermilion Bird rolled her eyes, while Black Turtle smiled and didn’t say anything. As for White Tiger, he just gave a proud snort.

“As a dragon, you should know a lot about dragon meat, right? I’ve just obtained a chuck of dragon meat. The System said that it belongs to a Three-claw True Dragon…” Bu Fang said.

There was a moment of awkwardness when he said that. He was asking Divine Dragon about dragon meat…

Vermilion Bird could not help but chuckle. Even the proud White Tiger laughed, and Black Turtle was grinning. Indeed, Divine Dragon knew the answer to that question best.

Divine Dragon’s face went black. ‘Can you not ask me such a sensitive question so directly?’ he thought to himself. But since Bu Fang was the Little Host, he was forced to answer that, no matter how unwilling he was.

“A true dragon is different from an ordinary dragon. The dragons in the Netherworld are all fake or have just a hint of the dragon’s blood in them. They are not pure True Dragons. The so-called True Dragons are all born in the Dragon Valley. Besides, different True Dragons have different numbers of claws, and the number of claws represents their strength…

“The weakest True Dragon has two claws, and the strongest has five claws… For example, this handsome dragon has five claws, and that makes me the most handsome Five-claw Golden Dragon among all dragons!” Nicholas the Handsome Dragon boasted as he spoke.

Bu Fang looked at him carefully and found that he did have five claws. ‘So this is how dragon meat is differentiated…’

“The level of a Three-claw True Dragon is not high, but… Let this handsome dragon be honest with you, Little Host. All Three-claws True Dragon are Demigods, and some talented ones have even reached the God Realm. So… don’t underestimate dragons!” Divine Dragon raised his head cockily. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by White Tiger.

Bu Fang touched his chin, thinking. He needed some time to digest what Divine Dragon had said. ‘If all Three-claw True Dragons are Demigods, doesn’t that mean the dragon meat in those bronze containers are all Demigod ingredients? I’ve obtained Demigod ingredients so easily?’

Bu Fang had thought that he would only obtain high quality ingredients after Lord Dog killed Di Ting… so this was a pleasant surprise. After talking with the Artifact Spirits for a while, he left the spirit sea.

He looked at the dragon meat in the bronze container with fire in his eyes. The meat seemed to glow.

“Bu Fang boy… Hurry up and cook Lord Dog the Sweet ‘n’ Sour True Dragon Ribs! I can’t believe this thing is actually dragon meat… If I had known, I would have exchanged all the dragon meat in Di Ting’s hand!” Lord Dog said impatiently. His mouth was already full of water. He could sense that the dragon meat was of high grade. Although he had no idea how Alpha got it, he was thankful the emissary had brought it with him.

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, but he was not in a hurry to cook. He brought the other ingredients over and identified them as well.

‘The vegetable in the bronze container is Kun Vegetable. It grows in the Kun-Peng Sea, which is also a first-class great world in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty.’ The System’s serious voice rang out again.

The food ingredients in bronze containers were quite precious. As for the rest of the ingredients, they all came from either second-class or third-class great worlds, and some were from unknown small worlds. These ingredients were not as precious as the Three-claw True Dragon meat and Kun Vegetables.

‘Kun Vegetable… Are there really Kuns in this world?’ Bu Fang paused for a moment. He remembered a famous quote from his previous life. ‘There is a fish in the Northern Oblivion named Kun, and this Kun is so huge that it can’t fit in a wok…’

“Cough, cough…” Bu Fang cleared his throat. ‘I’ve come to this world for too long… Do I remember it correctly?’

He could not help but take a deep breath as he looked at the Kun Vegetable in the bronze container. No matter what, all these ingredients seemed very good. It looked like he had many new dishes to study in the coming days.

The people around Bu Fang narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw him holding the bronze container and twitching the corner of his mouth. They wondered what he was thinking, and why it made him look so happy?

Bu Fang put all these food ingredients into the System’s storage space. Lord Dog did not say anything. It was the right thing to do to give them to Bu Fang. Why should he keep them? He did not eat raw dragon meat!

Bu Fang still had a bronze container in his hand. He glanced at the crowd, then walked toward the kitchen with it as Lord Dog watched expectantly.

Just as he lifted the curtain and the bell tinkled, a clear knocking on the door rang out. Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. Why would someone knock on the restaurant door at this hour? It was already dark outside, and the people in Yellow Spring City knew that the little restaurant did not open for business at night. No one should be knocking at the door at this hour.

With Foxy in her arms, Nethery walked up to the door and opened it with a creak. As soon as the door swung open, a deep dragon roar came through it. A lithe figure was standing quietly outside the restaurant with a little dragon.

Nethery paused as she looked at the figure. Bu Fang, lifting the curtain and was about to step into the kitchen, halted as well, looking doubtfully at the girl. He found her somewhat familiar. She seemed to be the girl who flew out from Alpha’s warship and fled with a dragon.

The girl’s expression was livelier now. She glanced at Nethery, then at the crowd looking at her in the restaurant. She seemed a bit nervous. After bowing, she stepped into the restaurant.

The little dragon lay outside the restaurant and gave a low roar. It appeared somewhat fearful and did not follow her, because it was scared by Lord Dog’s aura.

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the dragon’s claws. What he saw made him arch his brows.

“A Three-claw True Dragon?”
