Chapter 1343 A Hungry Lord Dog

Bu Fang was holding a thin wooden stick with a steaming black rice cake on it. The snack glittered like black agate with pieces of spirit fruit dotted its surface.Suddenly, Lord Dog’s gentle and magnetic voice rang in his head. He released his divine will, but he could not sense Lord Dog’s aura within hundreds of miles. He thought it was just an illusion.

‘Why did I hear Lord Dog’s voice? Is it because I miss him too much?’

With his mouth wide open, he stuffed the glutinous rice cake into his mouth. The soft, moist snack was warm on his tongue. When he chewed on it, it stuck to his teeth, while the savory aroma and sweetness of rice burst and filled his mouth, giving him an unspeakable sense of happiness. This snack from Earth Prison was quite delicious.

“Bu Fang boy…”

As Bu Fang munched on the rice cake, Lord Dog’s voice rang in his head once more, and this time it was clearer. He paused, and he was quite sure that the voice was not an illusion.

Frowning, he waited patiently for the voice to speak again. Sure enough, a few moments later, Lord Dog’s voice sounded.

“Bu Fang boy… I’m hungry. Prepare a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs for me so that I can have the strength to continue fighting when I’m full!”

Lord Dog’s voice was solemn, but his words left Bu Fang speechless. If Bu Fang was right, Lord Dog was talking to him with a voice transmission. It was a technique requiring a high level of divine will, which the average person simply could not do.

He could also send voice transmission to others. After all, his divine will was also quite strong. However, the target of his voice transmission must be within the range of his divine will.

Lord Dog sent him a voice transmission from a great distance just for a bowl of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs?

After thinking for a moment, Bu Fang did not refuse, and he asked through a voice transmission, “Alright. Where are you?”

“I’m at the former site of the Black Temple. Come here in three days… I need to break through a small barrier in these three days,” Lord Dog said, his voice gradually fading away.

Bu Fang was speechless. ‘He really just wants me to cook him a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs… Why is this fat dog so addicted to this dish?’

Nethery was walking beside Bu Fang. When she saw him suddenly stop in place, she blinked her big eyes and asked, “What happened? Is this black rice cake not delicious?”

Lord Dog’s voice transmission was targeted at Bu Fang only, so she had no idea what was really happening.

Foxy was sitting on her shoulder, happily nibbling on a roasted phoenix claw. Although her main food was Explosive Meatballs, she would not refuse other delicacies. She was a well-deserved foodie. It was only half a month after the war, and the little fox was already gaining weight, almost doubling in size. It was very likely that her mother, the six-tailed fox, would not recognize her now. It made one wonder whether she was a fox or a pig.

“Nothing. This glutinous rice cake tastes good…” Bu Fang said, shaking his head.

Later, the two of them did not say anything and went back to the restaurant.

‘Send a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs to Lord Dog at the former site of the Black Temple in three days…’

Bu Fang seemed to understand something. After Black Demon’s death, Lord Dog, Er Ha, and Ying Long broke into the Black Temple. Lord Dog probably got some amazing resources there, which was why he entered a state of breakthrough.

The fortune in the Black Temple gave him a chance to break through, so he did not join the previous war.

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and nodded. As he did not need to deliver the food until three days later, he still had some free time. Holding Foxy, he entered the Heaven and Earth Farmland.

With the improvement of his cultivation base, the farmland had grown wider and wider. He glanced around. The Immortal Tree was swaying not far away, while the Senseless Lotus shone softly at its top. Beside them, the Nine Revolution Great Path Tea Tree was constantly emitting mysterious notes.

The whole Heaven and Earth Farmland looked like a paradise.

As soon as they arrived, Foxy, who had doubled in size, unleashed her basic instincts and ran wildly among the grass with Eighty, Eight Treasures Pig, and other animals, while Niu Hansan came to Bu Fang with a big smile.

His apprentice chefs were exchanging experiences in the distance. After having a few words with them, Bu Fang entered the wooden hut and began to study the Gourmet Array.

He never got around to studying the new Time Gourmet Array.

When he threw out the Yin-Yang Pots on the battlefield of the stars, he suddenly realized that the Time Gourmet Array must also have some effect. There was ‘time’ in its name, sounding quite powerful, but he knew nothing about its effect. Therefore, he came to the farmland to study it.

To be sure, he would not be able to get any results in a short time. So in the following days, he ran the restaurant during the day, and in the evening, after tasting some delicious street food, he went into the farmland to continue studying the Gourmet Array.

Bu Fang wanted to make a Death Food Tool that was more powerful, but his research found that the Time Gourmet Array was so unstable that ordinary carriers could not sustain it for too long. Therefore, he focused on studying the carrier next.

…

Three days later…

Early in the morning, the sun shone into the restaurant. Bu Fang opened his eyes and stretched himself. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he came to the kitchen and began his daily cooking practice. Cooking was a lifelong skill that required constant study and practice every day to master its full potential.

Sizzle…

When he was done practicing, he began to cook the ribs. He processed the dragon ribs and marinated them, then added them into the wok and began cooking. Before long, the ribs were cooked. Bu Fang placed the ribs on a blue-and-white porcelain plate, and then poured the orange-red sauce over them to make the aroma more savory.

A plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs was thus completed.

After putting the plate of ribs into a food container he had prepared, Bu Fang walked out of the restaurant and closed the door.

As it was still early, only a few customers queued up in front of the restaurant. They were all very surprised at Bu Fang’s appearance.

Bu Fang did not say anything to them. He just took out a piece of wooden plaque, wrote ‘Rest For the Day’ on it, and hung it on the door. Then, with the food container in hand, he turned and strode off into the distance.

Just then, Yellow Spring Great Sage approached at breakneck speed. From afar, he already saw Bu Fang.

He came to Bu Fang, especially today, because he had a good thing to exchange with him, but he did not expect him to go out so early. However, when he learned that Bu Fang was actually going to deliver food to Earth Prison Dog, he was very surprised, and he wanted to follow as well.

Bu Fang did not refuse because it happened that he was a little confused about getting to the former site of the Black Temple. Yellow Spring Great Sage could help and save him a lot of trouble.

The two of them jumped into the sky and began to fly at high speed. Before long, they landed and came in front of the former site of the Black Temple.

Since Black Demon’s death, the mysterious power that enveloped the Black Temple had dispersed, and all the experts inside had been wiped out by that power. After losing its owner, the Black Temple lost its qualification to continue as a forbidden land, and all the people inside were obliterated because they did not belong to this age.

The Black Temple was a huge palace. Its roof, like a sharp sword pointing at the sky, gleamed with cold light. This was the once magnificent Black Temple.

Bu Fang and Yellow Spring Great Sage came to its front doors. They could see that the doors were covered with many dog paw prints. No doubt that these were all traces left by Lord Dog. It was obvious that he had harassed the Black Temple many times before.

Lord Dog should know that there was something in the Black Temple that could help him break through.

“Hahaha! I can imagine Black Demon’s constipated look when he was harassed by that mangy dog…” Looking at all the dog paw prints on the doors, Yellow Spring Great Sage burst out laughing.

The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth also twitched slightly.

They didn’t stay there for too long. Bu Fang raised his hands and pushed open the doors. With a creak, the doors opened on either side, and a burst of black gas rushed out of it as if to wrap them up completely.

They went in together. The Black Temple was very quiet—the only sound they heard was their footsteps echoing in the air. There was no one except the bandages scattered all over the ground.

The Black Temple was once glorious. Unfortunately, the change of the ages had reduced this mighty power to ruins. Everything inside was covered with dust as if they had been untouched for an age.

It was as if the experts who once lived in it never existed. If Bu Fang had not killed Black Demon himself, perhaps he would have fallen into the illusion that the Black Temple had been left untouched for an entire age.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… So this is the Power of the Laws,” Yellow Spring Great Sage muttered as he walked with his hands clasped behind him.

“The Power of the Laws?” Bu Fang was puzzled.

“The so-called Power of the Laws is a force stronger than the Will of the Great Path. It is the source of the world, and no one can compete with it… Even Perfected Great Saints were like worms before the Power of the Laws,” Yellow Spring Great Sage said with mixed emotions.

“The Laws…” Bu Fang was lost in thought.

“To be honest, I’m also curious about what realm is beyond the Perfected Great Saint Realm. I have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, but I have not yet touched the barrier. It never occurred to me that that mangy dog would reach that level first.” Yellow Spring Great Saint touched his nose.

They continued walking into the depths of the Black Temple, talking as they went so they didn’t feel cold.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of them.

Bu Fang and Yellow Spring Great Sage focused their eyes at the same time, while the latter held out a hand with mighty power gathering rapidly in his palm.

“Who’s there?! Show yourself!” Yellow Spring Great Sage shouted.

Then, the whole Black Temple began to flash with light. Soon, they saw a lazy fat black dog lying on the ground not far ahead, yawning.

“Lord Dog?”

“Mangy dog?”

Bu Fang and Yellow Spring Great Sage were taken aback. They had not sensed any living thing near them at all.

Lord Dog raised his head slightly, glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage, and then fixed his eyes on Bu Fang.

“Bu Fang boy, you have come…” His gentle and magnetic voice resounded through the palace.

Bu Fang nodded. He took out the food container and removed the plate of shining Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs from it. A rich fragrance immediately filled the air.

Lord Dog’s nose twitched, and his eyes lit up in an instant.

“You sent me a voice transmission through a great distance just for a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs? Why can’t you come to eat at the restaurant after breaking through?”

With the plate of ribs in his hand, Bu Fang put the food container on the floor and walked slowly up to Lord Dog. Then, he placed the blue-and-white porcelain plate in front of him and sat on the cold steps.

Lord Dog just glanced at Bu Fang, buried his face in the plate, and started attacking the ribs. He behaved like he had not eaten Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs for a long time and was very hungry.

Yellow Spring Great Sage shook his head at the way Lord Dog ate, but he didn’t say anything either.

The palace fell silent again, with only the sound of Lord Dog eating ringing in the air.

After a long time, Lord Dog finally finished eating. Even the plate was licked clean by him, leaving not a bit of sauce.

When he had his fill, he licked his paws with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly.

“Bu Fang boy’s Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs never disappointed me…” Lord Dog said. Then, he opened his eyes. When he saw the puzzled look in Bu Fang’s eyes, he narrowed his eyes.

“I haven’t tasted Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs for thousands of years. Now that I finally had it, I feel very moved!” Lord Dog said, licking his paws.

Thousands of years?

Yellow Spring Great Sage and Bu Fang were both dumbfounded. Didn’t Lord Dog just disappear for a while? How did it become thousands of years?

“It’s a long story… I don’t have time to say much. Moreover, I will enter a critical moment next, so I need someone to protect me. That’s why I called Bu Fang boy here. Otherwise, do you think I sent you a voice transmission just for a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs? Well, that’s actually one of the important reasons…”

Lord Dog twitched his nose as if he were savoring the taste of the ribs.

“In case I fail… At least I died with the taste of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs in my mouth. I could die without regret…”
