Chapter 1128: Goddess City’s High Priestess

Translator: Zenobys, CatatoPatch

“Bu Fang, are you alright?” Nethery looked at Bu Fang as she asked with a serious face.

Bu Fang shook his head. Of course, he was okay. Although the iron lotus pot consumed a lot of his energy, it was still within what he could endure.

Because of the four tool spirits in his spirit sea, his strength was rather refined. Also, all of them were like four huge whirlpools that steadily helped recover his mental energy.

“Little Sister Nethery, shouldn’t you care more about your sister? Why are you so concerned about a man? You’ve changed. This isn’t how you used to be!”

Empress Bi Luo took a look at Bu Fang, then at Nethery. Her mouth twisted, looking very dissatisfied.

The Empress of Goddess City was actually less important than some man?

“Bu Fang, I’m hungry,” Nethery said.

Ignoring Empress Bi Luo’s glare, Bu Fang nodded. He didn’t actually think that Nethery would come to where he was. Well, now that she actually came, all he could do was agree to her demands.

However, Bu Fang couldn’t guarantee to prevent Ying Long and the others from appearing and taking Nethery back. If he really wanted to keep her at where he was, he wouldn’t really mind preparing another Perishing Pot.

“Little Sister Nethery, you’re hungry? Why didn’t you tell me? Your big sister will immediately get top chefs to cook for you! You can eat whatever you want, even if you want something at the level of an imperial feast. That wouldn’t be a problem!” Empress Bi Luo said, putting her arm around Nethery’s shoulder.

Bu Fang watched and thought to himself, “This Empress Bi Luo can’t be real, right? Why does she no longer seem to be as dignified as she was in the hall?”

“Can an imperial feast suppress my curse?” Nethery’s dark eyes turned towards Empress Bi Luo.

Empress Bi Luo was suddenly stunned. She bit her red lips, then shook her head.

Nethery’s curse was rather unusual. How could an imperial feast suppress such a curse? If an imperial feast could suppress it, she wouldn’t have minded preparing one for Nethery every day.

Nethery said, “Bu Fang’s dishes can suppress my curse…”

Empress Bi Luo’s eyes suddenly shrank. She then looked at Bu Fang with a complicated look in her eyes.

“Could a dish really suppress such a strange curse?”

This thought plagued Empress Bi Luo’s mind. Although she didn’t completely believe it, she still reluctantly chose to let Nethery continue with what she was doing.

Empress Bi Luo told Bu Fang, “By the way, since you killed Madam Jin, I’m afraid that trouble will be coming to you. It isn’t likely that the High Priestess will forgive you, and when it comes to her, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to help you.”

Bu Fang was stunned, and then it struck him.

Indeed, Madam Jin wouldn’t have been able to keep Spring Wind Pavilion at the top of Goddess City without any backing.

Spring Wind Pavilion had huge profits, and without a high-level personage backing it, it would have long been swallowed up.

Empress Bi Luo continued, “Anyway, even if the High Priestess comes, Madam Jin had dared to organize a secret army and those divine guards, and that could be taken as having thoughts against the Empress. With that, the High Priestess can only grit her teeth and accept the verdict. Anyway, you won’t have to worry about that much. Right now, you should focus on preparing for the cooking competition tomorrow.”

After the commotion had settled down, the crowd dispersed.

Empress Bi Luo placed Chi Si in charge of handling the security and matters pertaining to the events.

Because of what happened just now, some people were panicking. But, since these weren’t really major events, Empress Bi Luo didn’t even bother with them.

Bu Fang then cooked a dish and gave it to Nethery, who ate it all with great enjoyment.

Then, while in the presence of Bu Fang, Empress Bi Luo took Nethery and left.

Bu Fang stood there and remembered Empress Bi Luo’s warning before she had left.

When Empress Bi Luo was no longer in sight, Bu Fang walked back and forth, pondering. Gently letting out a breath, he calmed his heart and entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland.

Now, without a single Nether crystal, he wouldn’t be able to afford to stay at any inn, so it would be better for him to just enter the farmland.

Also, he needed to prepare for tomorrow’s cooking competition. He had to get the imperial feast cooking qualifications.

Only Empress Bi Luo could take him to God Vanishing Mountain.

Right after Bu Fang left, a figure wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared.

Looking at the empty ground, that person scratched his head. “Where’s Bu Fang? Wasn’t he just here… How could he vanish into thin air like that?”

…

Goddess City, Sacrificial Hall

A graceful figure stood in front of the window, her calm gaze looking into the distance.

Right outside the hall, there was a sudden noise.

A woman wearing loose robes and a crown slowly entered. Her hands were clasped together as she kneeled.

“High Priestess… the Spring Wind Pavilion was destroyed. The Empress’ General Chi Si seemed to have taken over Spring Wind Pavilion. Madam Jin and the four divine guards we had cultivated have all fallen. It seems that we no longer have control of Spring WInd Pavilion,” the woman with the crown said in a serious voice as she looked at the woman by the window in awe.

The High Priestess was beautiful, calm as an immortal, letting out a mysterious aura. Her hair was unadorned, and she was wearing a white gown, scattering three thousand blue silk threads.

She turned around slowly, and her red lips curved into a slight smile.

“The cause of the fall of Spring Wind Pavilion is clear to me… It was all because of a man. The Empress has indeed been desiring Spring Wind Pavilion for a long time, and this man who ruined Spring Wind Pavilion may be part of her plan… Hmm… No, the Empress is so lazy that it would be impossible for her to come up with such a plan…” the High Priestess murmured.

The woman with the crown remained kneeling and dared not interrupt.

After a long while, the High Priestess raised her head and calmly said, “That man naturally isn’t someone we can just kill… Now that Spring Wind Pavilion is destroyed, the number of Nether crystals that the sacrificial palace receives every month will be greatly reduced.

“Go and capture that man for me. He dared to actually destroy my Spring Wind Pavilion. Even if he’s backed by the Empress, still… This High Priestess is very interested in that explosive lotus flower. The energy contained in it has its uses…”

The woman with the crown listened quietly and waited until the High Priestess stopped talking. She bowed, and after letting out a sound that showed she understood, she left the hall.

When she finally left the hall, the pressure on her body immediately disappeared.

The High Priestess had exerted too much pressure on her.

In the next moment, the woman with the crown became very serious. Finding a man in Goddess City was easy for her because she has one of the five generals.

With a single command, she mobilized the whole army to search the whole city.

No one dared to prevent the High Priestess from capturing the man that she wanted to capture…

However, they had miscalculated.

They couldn’t find a single trace of that man even if they searched all over the city. It was as if the other party had disappeared from their world.

The guards who had been searching for him all night were confused.

The crowned woman frowned even more.

She couldn’t find him… How is she going to explain this to the High Priestess?’

But thinking the situation over, the woman’s mouth suddenly curled up. She knew that the next day, the man was bound to appear. She knew that Bu Fang truly wanted to obtain the imperial feast cooking qualifications, and for it, he would have to appear and go against Chef Jing Yuan.

Tomorrow then… is when they’ll be able to capture him.

…

Heaven and Earth Farmland

Bu Fang landed in front of the wooden cabin.

A gentle breeze, accompanied by the fragrance of dewy grass, blew.

The sky was clear, and clouds were slowly floating by.

The moment Bu Fang appeared, Niu Hansan had also soon appeared. Lately, the latter has been studying how to incorporate the will of the Great Path into his food.

The destructive power of the Perishing Pot they had created was truly astonishing. That was why Niu Hansan was very excited to learn and experiment some more.

“Owner Bu, you’re here at last. This old bull has good news!”

Niu Hansan grinned at Bu Fang before bringing him into the cabin. He took out a bucket and flung its lid open.

Bu Fang was stunned. From the bucket, the strong fragrance of milk wafted out.

“This is the milk from the cow that Owner Bu brought in. I first incorporated the will of the Great Path into the cow’s body, and then the milk that it produced… also contained the will of the Great Path… The milk is truly pure!”

Niu Hansan grinned, seemingly filled with pride from his work.

Bu Fang was a little surprised. Such a thing was possible?

Bu Fang then took a wooden spoon and scooped up a spoonful of milk.

Swish.

The rich fragrance of milk spread around as silky milk flowed down from the wooden spoon. It was refreshing and smelled rather sweet.

He took a sip of the milk, which filled his mouth and flowed down his throat.

“Well?”

The sweet milk made Bu Fang’s eyes shine with surprise. The pure will of the Great Path in it was indeed rather surprising.

This will of the Great Path was different from the previous one. This pure will was very stable, and even if it were to be used in cooking, it wouldn’t likely result in an explosion.

Bu Fang then took another spoonful, filling his mouth once again with milk.

Looking at the milk, Bu Fang’s eyes suddenly squinted. His mind was immediately filled with many dairy products, which he could use in a great number of new ways of cooking.

Actually, the system could provide milk, but it was only ordinary milk. He wouldn’t have been able to obtain milk that contained the will of the Great Path from it.

Therefore, Bu Fang seldom made anything that had to have milk to go with it.

“Owner Bu, when are you going to get some good fruit here? We don’t need anything else in our farmland besides top-grade spirit fruits…” Niu Hansan said, looking at Bu Fang.

Bu Fang placed the lid back on the bucket of milk, then looked at Niu Hansan and thought about it.

Indeed, it would be nice if they could get those fruits. They could also be used to make wine and even vinegar.

Bu Fang lacked good vinegar. He had thought of making vinegar in the Hidden Dragon Continent before, but he never had the time to do so.

Now that he had the Heaven and Earth Farmland, he had the chance to do so.

Bu Fang thought for a moment and said, “How could it be so easy to find top-grade fruits? But don’t worry, if I find one, I’ll definitely bring it here.

Niu Hansan’s eyes lit up. He had, for a long time, also wanted Bu Fang to get a fruit tree seedling and grow it.

Unexpectedly, Owner Bu actually brought back the Immortal Tree seedling. How domineering!

Niu Hansan had a desire to make this rural world the best. Once the Immortal Tree has matured, there would be immortal fruits all around. It would even be best if there were a lot of Immortal Trees!

That sense of accomplishment would absolutely intoxicate Niu Hansan.

Of course, today’s farmland was still far from that level.

Niu Hansan said, “By the way, Owner Bu, that seedling you gave still hasn’t sprouted. We need to find some energy with strong vitality to stimulate it, or else it will remain like that..”

Bu Fang frowned. Speaking of the Immortal Tree seedling, he thought about the God Vanishing Mountain again.

It seems that he really had to win in tomorrow’s cooking competition.

He can’t afford to delay any longer.

The Immortal Cooking Realm has been in a constant decline. The more time he wasted, the worse off the Immortal Cooking Realm will be.

Holding the bucket with milk, Bu Fang went outside and left the rural world.

After watching Bu Fang leave, Niu Hansan hummed a tune as he headed back to the cabin.

Soon, there was the sound of angry grunts that seemed to be coming from cows.

…

Bu Fang placed the bucket of milk into the system dimensional bag.

He then returned to Goddess City.

However, when he reappeared, the eyes of those around him all locked onto him.

Noises could be heard in the distance, seemingly approaching him.

Bu Fang then raised his head and looked.

Shortly after, armored troops flocked around him, waving their weapons as they surrounded him.
