Chapter 781: 781

Yan Yu was dead .

After being pinned down to the ground by Chu Changsheng, his blood and flesh vaporized after being smacked by a palm .

Everyone did not dare to let out a loud breath as they looked at the scene in front of them with astonished faces .

A special grade chef of the Valley of Gluttony had died just like that . He died without even leaving behind his bones .

Many people seemed to be able to see through the meaning behind Chu Changsheng’s actions . It seemed as though Yan Yu had betrayed the Valley of Gluttony . This number one special grade chef of the Valley of Gluttony did not seem to be someone from the Valley of Gluttony . Instead, he was a spy sent by another holy land .

The light figure that the other party had summoned seemed to even make Chu Changsheng worried .

However, everything ended like a circus act .

The spectators watched as Nether King Er Ha’s teary and depressed appearance made everyone a little speechless . The light figure was someone who was extremely arrogant and domineering . However, he was shattered into pieces with a single slap from that clown Nether King .

Bu Fang obviously did not take it to heart . Originally, it was the other party who was here to look for trouble . If not for the other side shouting for Bu Fang to die, he would be too lazy to tempt the Nether King to act with Spicy Strips .

He thought that the light figure would be really mighty . However, it seemed like the light figure only looked strong but was actually weak . It was like a paper tiger, defeated by Nether King Er Ha in an instant .

The matter was settled—he had won the Chef’s Challenge . Bu Fang had gotten a step closer to clearing the temporary mission .

Bringing Nethery, Whitey, and Nether King Er Ha, he slowly left, vanishing from everyone’s sights .

The spectators could only hear Nether King Er Ha’s voice that was trying to negotiate with Bu Fang .

Mu Cheng’s face was incomparably solemn as she stared at Bu Fang’s departing figure . She released a long breath .

That meaningful gaze that Bu Fang gave her before he left, coupled with that sentence, caused all the hair on her body to stand up .

In the end, she was the next chef who was going to take part in a Chef’s Challenge with Bu Fang .

So far, she had always been a spectator who watched Bu Fang cook in every single Chef’s Challenge . Now that she was going up against him, she felt a tremendous amount of pressure .

But this pressure did not scare her . Instead, she felt excited…

Her excited legs were tensing up involuntarily .

Mu Cheng was also a special grade chef, and she was ranked second on the Tablet of Gluttony . Of course, if she wanted to compete for number one, she would easily be able to obtain it .

After all, Yan Yu’s culinary skills were really a little exaggerated . Although he was still pretty good, he wasn’t the best chef in the valley .

Liu Jiali stood at Mu Cheng’s side, opening a golden book within his hand . He gently sighed .

He reached out a hand, tapping Mu Cheng’s shoulders . He meant to wish Mu Cheng good luck .

Bu Fang hadn’t been defeated a single time since he started challenging chefs . His momentum was really horrifying .

Mu Cheng wanting to triumph over Bu Fang with his terrifying momentum was going to be a little difficult .

Of course, Liu Jiali had some knowledge of Mu Cheng . Don’t look at the other party as the only woman in the Tablet of Gluttony’s ranking . Her culinary skills were very astonishing .

It was because Mu Cheng had the Hundred Taste Spirit Tongue, which common chefs admired .

The so-called Hundred Taste Spirit Tongue enabled one to accurately taste the ingredients in a dish, allowing them to know its strengths and weaknesses . Furthermore, the sensitivity toward taste was extremely dense .

Along with the Hundred Taste Spirit Tongue, Mu Cheng also wielded a famous knife that was even more famous than Yan Yu’s Shadow Chopping Knife—the Profound Theory Knife .

This was an extremely famous ancient knife . It seemed to be a famous knife that existed even before the founding of the Valley of Gluttony . Although everyone knew that Mu Cheng had this famous knife, they had never actually seen her use it .

Liu Jiali was a little curious, not knowing if Bu Fang would be able to force Mu Cheng to bring out the Profound Theory Knife .

Mu Cheng’s style of dishes was incomparably exquisite, as though creating an artwork . She had an extremely high requirement for her knife technique .

She had many techniques that were very ingenious .

In the Valley of Gluttony, there was a very accurate evaluation of Mu Cheng . It could be said that Mu Cheng was an extremely skilled master of ingenuity and not a chef .

“Big Sister Mu, it seems like the next one to have a headache will be you…” Wenren Shang pulled the corner of his lips back, pouring a cup of wine from his bamboo flask . He laughed loudly while looking at Mu Cheng .

Mu Cheng’s eyes instantly turned sharp .

“Who are you calling big sister? Your whole family are big sisters!”

Mu Cheng gave a cold ‘humph’ before leaving, swaying her body as she walked away . No matter what, Bu Fang’s challenge managed to pressure her . However, the pressure caused her to become very excited .

It seemed as though she had to give her all at this Chef’s Challenge .

…

The Ancient Jade Holy Land

The Ancient Jade Palace stood at the peak of the Ancient Jade Mountain . Its bricks were made of jade, making it look exquisite .

This huge palace was extraordinarily majestic and beautiful . Looking at it from afar, it seemed to be emitting a brilliant light . The dazzling beams of light shot toward the sky, attracting everyone’s gaze .

Within the Ancient Jade Mountain, there was a white jade staircase that led straight to that huge palace .

At the top of the white jade staircase, there were countless people who prayed three times and kowtowed three times . They walked toward the huge palace with an incomparably devout expression on their faces .

That Ancient Jade Palace was just like a holy land, attracting countless devout believers .

It was the center of the Ancient Jade Holy Land . The entire palace was made using rare mineral resources, making it incomparably exquisite as it dispersed radiance . Furthermore, mysterious magic arrays were engraved on every wall and pillar .

These magic arrays revolved, constantly letting out a terrifying pressure .

In the center of the palace, a figure, who was wearing a long golden robe, sat crossed-legged in the air . Around him, a circular magic array revolved .

Suddenly, this person’s eyes opened . The moment he opened his eyes, the void seemed to shatter .

The surrounding magic array suddenly revolved rapidly . It became so quick that the void looked like it was going to collapse .

Buzz…

A figure dashed in from outside, crouching on the ground .

“Holy Saint! Do you have any instructions?!” This was a Half-Step Divine Spirit Realm existence . He wore an armor and held a long sword . His face was filled with reverence as he crouched in front of the figure .

Behind him, many experts of the Ancient Jade Holy Land were crouching as well .

Through the palace, one could see the fervent believers on the white rock road on the Ancient Jade Mountain . Climbing out of the mountain road, their faces filled with surprise and longing .

“The disciple that this supreme one sent out to the Valley of Gluttony is dead… This supreme one’s clone was also killed . I felt a trace of nether energy from the existence that killed the clone . ”

The Holy Saint’s eyes were like dazzling stars in the night sky, causing the air to constantly crackle . That terrifying pressure shook the hearts of everyone present .

“What? There was nether energy? Could it be a creature from the Netherworld? How can a Netherworld creature kill the Holy Saint’s clone? How did it even appear on the continent?” The expert who was holding the sword was shocked .

The Holy Saint’s gaze turned . It was as though the void shattered as his gaze landed on that expert’s body, instantly making that person feel like his body was being crushed by a heavy mountain . It was so heavy that he was unable to take a breath .

“You think that this supreme one will lie to you? This supreme one does not need you to believe me . You just need to go and check for me… Send news back after checking!” said the Holy Saint .

That expert’s heart suddenly froze, and the color of his face changed . He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet the Holy Saint’s gaze .

“Yes, this subordinate knows . ”

“Go . No need to make a big fuss out of it . Just go check if there really is a creature from the Netherworld . If there is, humph!”

When the Holy Saint said the last sentence, his voice became cold . After coldly harrumphing, the magic array that was revolving around him started to shake . The void seemed to split open again .

The expert that held a long sword began to slowly retreat out of the palace .

After that, the magic array within the palace also began to slowly settle down .

“With the Great Path’s Principle fading, these Netherworld creatures have been getting more and more lawless . ”

…

When Bu Fang returned to the inn, Lord Dog was sleeping soundly on the floor . With every breath he took, the fats on his body slightly shook .

Bu Fang returned to his own room and sat on a chair to take a short rest .

He made a pot of tea, pouring a cup for everyone present . Nethery sat at Bu Fang’s side, and she blew on the tea while holding it between her palms .

Nether King Er Ha only cared about Spicy Strips, so he was in no mood to drink tea with Bu Fang .

Bu Fang was not in a rush . Sipping a mouthful of tea to warm his mouth, he glanced at Nether King Er Ha and walked to the kitchen .

He was going to prepare and think about the dish that he was going to cook in the Chef’s Challenge tomorrow .

His opponent was Mu Cheng . Bu Fang did not know much about this woman, but he knew that she had pretty good culinary skills .

As for the main theme of the Chef’s Challenge, it was soup .

Soup was always the number one major category of cooking . Stewing was a cooking method that was even more research-oriented .

Bu Fang also liked to stew, but he rarely did so . That was why tomorrow’s Chef’s Challenge was a huge challenge for him .

Since Mu Cheng dared to choose soup, she was definitely prepared . If Bu Fang didn’t prepare for the challenge, there was a chance he would lose .

Because of this, he was thinking what soup he should prepare the next day .

To brew a pot of soup, ingredients and ideas were both required . He couldn’t miss a single point .

Of course, he needed the proper tools to cook soup . With the Black Turtle Constellation Wok in his possession, he didn’t have to worry about his tools . Bu Fang didn’t believe that there would be any tools better than the God of Cooking Set .

Strolling around the kitchen for quite a while, Bu Fang’s gaze once again landed on his shoulder . He looked at Shrimpy, who was lying on his shoulders as it spat bubbles .

Shrimpy’s ability was pretty useful . It was able to make ingredients more effective and flavorful .

For the soup he was going to prepare the next day, it was impossible for Shrimpy not to be used .

However, other than Shrimpy, Bu Fang felt that he had to decide on the type of soup to cook .

Suddenly, a light flashed across Bu Fang’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled upwards, revealing a meaningful smile .

He knew what soup he should cook .

In front of this dish, everything was but a fleeting cloud!

Bu Fang gently let out a breath . With green smoke revolving around his arm, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun around his hand .

…

The Valley of Gluttony, the Phoenix Pavilion

The Phoenix Pavilion was the location of the Chef’s Challenge this time . The owner of the Phoenix Pavilion was Mu Cheng, and as a special grade chef, there was no way she didn’t possess a restaurant in the Valley of Gluttony .

Because of the Chef’s Challenge between Bu Fang and special grade chef Mu Cheng, the originally lively and packed Phoenix Pavilion became even more bustling . It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could flow through the restaurant .

In the morning, when the sun was high in the sky…

A road suddenly came from the crowd .

Bu Fang, who was wearing his Vermillion Robe, crossed his arms before him . With an expressionless face, he walked over with a golden shrimp on his shoulder .

As he stepped into the crowd, his gaze became solemn . Raising his head, he looked at the second floor .

Mu Cheng, who had prepared for a day and a night, stood on the second floor as she watched him .

Mu Cheng wore a proper chef robe today, covering her voluptuous figure . However, it caused her to look more enchanting .

This lady’s gaze was incomparably attractive . Raising her hand, a strangely shaped knife appeared .

At that moment, the world seemed to turn silent in an instant . Everyone watched Mu Cheng in surprise and excitement .

They were looking forward to it… The start of this exciting Chef’s Challenge!
