Gourmet of Another World

Chapter 1474: A Hopeless Situation!

Hu Lu was somewhat dumbstruck. He felt everything in front of him was just a dream. The Crown Prince was… defeated? The man who once made him shiver, who he thought that he could never suppress, was defeated?

As he stared at the man sitting dejectedly in midair, the man who was so proud a moment ago, Hu Lu sighed with emotion. The Crown Prince was defeated, while the other legend was rising. The new legend was a… chef.

Bu Fang’s voice rang through the void. It was not loud, but all the people present were no mortals, so they heard him loud and clear. An uproar broke out instantly as no one could believe what they just heard.

“Is this chef… out of his mind?!”

“He really wants to make the Crown Prince a waiter in his restaurant? So crazy?!”

“The Imperial Concubine and the Mo Family won’t agree to this…”

The crowd was in an uproar. They felt Bu Fang was too insane. He should be content after defeating the Crown Prince. Although both of them had agreed to the bet before the battle, who would take it seriously?

It was true that Xia Yi was defeated, but he was still the noble Crown Prince, the successor to the throne who the Divine Emperor had picked. How could he be a waiter? If he really became a waiter, it would be a stain for the entire divine dynasty, making it a laughingstock for the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty and the Titan Divine Dynasty!

Therefore, the Crown Prince could never become a waiter. Bu Fang should not even mention it.

Xia Yi stared blankly at Bu Fang. The next moment, his eyes gradually became clear. He was defeated. He had never thought that he would lose, but he could not become Bu Fang’s waiter. No one would allow that to happen!

Bu Fang looked very calm. His finger, which was holding the Crown Prince’s chin, moved up and pointed at the latter’s brow. “Why? Do you want to go back on your word?” he asked, his face expressionless.

The Crown Prince opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

Bu Fang looked at him, raised a hand, and patted him on the head. “Face your conscience and tell me if you want to go back on your word?”

The surrounding people were speechless. Did Bu Fang really think that the Crown Prince would become a waiter in his restaurant? He should know better! No way could that happen!

Xia Yi opened his mouth. He wanted to reject, but to his horror, he found he could not speak. He clutched his chest with a hand, for as soon as he tried to say something, he felt a stab of pain. ‘Does my conscience really forbid me to refuse?’

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly. With his hands clasped behind him, he looked coolly at the Crown Prince. “Do you take the bet for nothing? Since you’ve agreed to it, you have to fulfill it. You need to follow your conscience and your Dao Heart…” he said.

Xia Yi’s eyes narrowed. His mouth was wide open, and his body was shaking. ‘Do I really have to…’

“You’re uttering nonsense!”

Suddenly, a voice boomed in midair. It came from the Imperial Concubine, who was standing on the phoenix palanquin. Her voice interrupted the Crown Prince’s thought.

Xia Yi jerked his head around to look at his mother. He had never been defeated since he was born, and this was the first time. For a moment, he was at a loss, and he needed guidance. He thought perhaps his mother was the light that would show him his course. There was a look of hope in his eyes…

The Imperial Concubine was furious. The Crown Prince was her pride, but now he was defeated by the chef. If she allowed him to become a waiter working for the chef, she worried that he would be completely ruined. As a mother, she couldn’t let that happen.

The chef had killed her nephew and her friend, destroyed the Mo Family’s residence, and now he was trying to mess with his son’s mind. He deserved to die!

The phoenix palanquin moved as the nine phoenixes soared into the sky. In a flash, they crossed the void and came hovering in front of Bu Fang. Standing in the palanquin, the Imperial Concubine was shrouded in bright light like a deity, too magnificent to behold.

Her eyes were filled with monstrous killing intent as she fixed them on Bu Fang. She couldn’t endure the presence of this chef any longer. She couldn’t let her son be reduced to a waiter!

The experts of the aristocratic families in the surroundings didn’t move. They didn’t want to be dragged into this mess. Bu Fang had an unusual status, and now that he had defeated the Crown Prince, he had become the number one expert of the younger generation in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty. They dared not to offend him, so they chose to stand to the side and watch.

Summer took a step forward and appeared beside Bu Fang. She had an attractive figure, and though no one could see her face, she was definitely a beautiful woman. Standing at Bu Fang’s side, she looked at the Imperial Concubine and said, “When you lose the bet, you have to honor your word. Why? Can’t the Crown Prince afford to lose?”

“How could the Crown Prince be a waiter? What makes this chef think that he deserves the honor to be served by someone so noble?!” said the Imperial Concubine in a cold voice as her aura kept rising.

Summer furrowed her brows.

Bu Fang stood in midair and glanced indifferently at the Imperial Concubine. “You can take the Crown Prince away with you, but he will never make progress again for the rest of his life. Because he didn’t follow his Dao Heart.”

“Shut up!” the Imperial Concubine snapped. “Dao Heart? As soon as I kill you, his Dao Heart will return!”

That gave Bu Fang pause. She sounded so reasonable that he didn’t know how to reply to her.

The onlookers were silent, and they could only feel that a terrible aura was spreading over the top of the building.

King Pingyang didn’t get involved either. In fact, none of them was qualified to be involved in this matter. After all, what happened now would affect the Crown Prince’s future, so they dared not to intervene. Xia Yi was the successor the Divine Emperor had chosen. His Majesty wouldn’t approve of Xia Yi becoming a waiter, would he?

Rumble!

The Imperial Concubine’s aura exploded and spread across the sky, accompanied by the cries of the phoenixes around her. She had an amazing cultivation base. In fact, she was a God King.

“Is Her Highness going to attack Bu Fang?”

“But it’s rather disgraceful for Her Highness to attack someone…”

“Mister Bu is so awesome!”

The people down below were talking noisily and staring at the sky.

The Crown Prince staggered to his feet in midair, his aura fluctuating. The Imperial Concubine sped through the air and landed beside him.

“Mother…” There was a complicated look in Xia Yi’s eyes. He had thought of helping to relieve his mother’s worries, but in the end, he was… defeated. He had agreed to the bet, but then he dared not to fulfill it… At this moment, his heart was shaking as if it was about to collapse at any time.

‘Maybe I should really work as a waiter…’

“Don’t think too much… Mother is here,” said the Imperial Concubine as she raised her hand and gently stroked Xia Yi’s face. Then, she asked her maids to help him into the phoenix palanquin. After that, she turned and stared at Bu Fang. “I will kill you today!” she said coldly.

As soon as her voice rang out, the void began to tremble. A rumbling sound could be heard when the void tore apart, and two figures stepped out of it. A terrible pressure immediately spread and filled the air.

“Oh?” Summer, standing at Bu Fang’s side, narrowed her eyes as she felt a threatening air. “Black and White? The two seniors of the Mo Family?” she murmured.

Bu Fang paused, puzzled. “Black and White? Are they strong?” he asked.

“Black and White are the patriarchs of the Mo Family. I didn’t know they were hiding beside this bitch. Looks like the Mos are up to something… These two men are very fearsome, and their combined strength could reach that of a high-grade God King,” Summer explained. She didn’t hide anything from Bu Fang.

The surrounding heads of the aristocratic families were already in an uproar.

“Black and White?!”

“They are once the top experts of the Mo Family…”

“They’re still alive? Aren’t they already killed in the war?”

Many family heads couldn’t believe that the Mo Family actually hid such a horrible secret, and they all broke out in cold sweats, especially the heads of the Luo Family and the Zhao Family. Both of them had thought of attacking the Mos. Now that they looked back, they realized that Black and White would strike and wipe out their families as soon as they did something.

The Mo Family was too… sinister!

“Stand back… These two old men are very… formidable.” Summer frowned. The Law of Space had already begun to spin over her head.

The eyes of Black and White were cold. They were old, but their auras were menacing. The fact that they could fight a high-grade God King by combining their strength frightened many people.

Summer was just a mid-grade God King who had comprehended two hundred Laws. She might be able to fight the two old men with her Law of Space, but she could not defeat them. Black and White had lived very long, and they both had comprehended nearly five hundred Laws, which made them stand on the peak of the realm of the mid-grade God King.

To become a Perfected God, one must comprehend one hundred Laws, and those who comprehended more than that were called low-grade God Kings. Experts who comprehended two hundred to five hundred Laws were called mid-grade God Kings, and those above five hundred were called high-grade God Kings.

It took a great amount of time to comprehend Laws. Summer was much younger when compared with Black and White. She was gifted, but she didn’t have enough accumulation.

“You two hold that Summer… Let me handle this chef!” the Imperial Concubine said coldly, her eyes surging with killing intent.

Black and White were her trump cards. Now that she had revealed them, it showed that she was determined to kill Bu Fang. When Silver Armor died, she had almost summoned the two old men, but she resisted the impulse. She could not resist it anymore.

The two old men glanced at the Imperial Concubine and sighed. The next moment, they vanished, and when they appeared again, they had surrounded Summer.

“Little Princess… Don’t make it difficult for us,” said one of the old men. They looked as if they hadn’t woken up.

Summer’s face flickered. She was locked by two auras, which made her frown, and she had to summon her Law of Space to resist them. However, it became difficult for her to help Bu Fang now. She couldn’t help but feel nervous. Bu Fang was the Lord of the Divine Chef Temple, and she couldn’t let him die here.

She tried to move, but Black and White reached out their hands, and the Power of Laws in their palms spread into an ocean to surround her.

“Little Princess, we watched you grow up. Unless there is no other choice, we don’t want to fight you,” said the old man.

Summer’s face turned livid in an instant.

The Imperial Concubine paid Summer no more mind. In fact, she didn’t have to. As her trump cards, Black and White were strong enough to kill Summer. It would be very easy for them to hold the latter down.

Now, without Summer’s intervention, she could finally kill Bu Fang. Even though the chef had comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe and defeated the Crown Prince, she was, after all, the Imperial Concubine and a mid-grade God King. She could easily kill him!

Rumble!

At this moment, the void in the sky tore apart, and a figure stepped out of it, emanating a violent aura that shook the world! It was Mo Pao, the head of the Mo Family! As soon as he appeared, his cold aura immediately sealed up this part of the world!

“Little beast… There’s no way you can escape this time! You have destroyed my residence, and you will pay with your blood!”

Bu Fang was now surrounded by the Imperial Concubine and Mo Pao!

The crowd under the building erupted into an uproar.

“It’s over… The chef is dead!”

“The Mos are too domineering! The chef’s date was already decided when he offended them!”

“A hopeless situation! This is a truly hopeless situation! Although this chef is fearsome and has defeated the Crown Prince, he is just a Demigod! Even if his fighting strength is comparable to that of a low-grade God King, he cannot survive this situation!”

No one had expected this to happen. The Imperial Concubine’s determination to kill Bu fang was too strong!

Inside the phoenix palanquin, the Crown Prince had a complicated look in his eyes.

Under the building, King Pingyang was hesitating about helping Bu Fang. The head of the Luo Family shook his head and chose to stay out of this, while Luo Sanniang and Hu Luo turned pale.

It was truly a hopeless situation! What should Bu Fang do?
