Chapter 1486: The Crown Prince Who Would Rather Die Than Submit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Divine Emperor’s shout caused the whole great hall to fall silent. No one dared to make a sound again.
“Do you really think that I am too old to lift a knife?!” Sitting on his throne, the Divine Emperor arched his eyebrows angrily. The sight frightened all the officials present.
‘When the Divine Emperor flies into a rage, millions would die, and yet King Pingyang is somehow trying to push his boundaries? This fellow… is too reckless!’
The officials were all criticizing in their minds.
After so many years, the first morning court meeting of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty was actually started in such a comical way.
Perhaps the fried oyster pancake was too fragrant that the whole palace was filled with its smell.
The fact that the Divine Emperor was angry startled King Pingyang. Did he dare to continue eating? No, he dared not… He could only widen his eyes and stare at the Divine Emperor. He, Hu Pingyang, just wanted to have breakfast…
Step by step, the Divine Emperor walked down from his throne with his hands clasped behind his back, like a savage dragon lying in ambush. No official present dared to breathe too loudly.
He came before Hu Pingyang, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and rested his gaze on the fried oyster pancake. It was dripping with oil while exuding a faint aroma and a life force. The feeling was somewhat unusual.
Hu Pingyang swallowed. He felt that the Divine Emperor’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, which was cutting at him and making all his hair stand on end.
“Your Majesty…” He took a deep breath and wanted to speak. He thought that if he didn’t say something, he might be killed by the Divine Emperor’s gaze.
Suddenly, Hu Pingyang’s pupils constricted because he found that the fried oyster pancake in his hand was gone. “Ugh?!” He shuddered with horror, staring at the Divine Emperor before him. Then, he saw the Divine Emperor grab the pancake, shoved the whole thing into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
Hu Pingyang roared in his head. That fried oyster pancake was his! He had begged it from Bu Fang with a flattering look! However, the Divine Emperor just ate it so irresponsibly?
The relationship between Hu Pingyang and the Divine Emperor was considered good. In those years, they had fought side by side and shared the same pot of rice, so they didn’t mind sharing food.
But… Hu Pingyang was distressed, for that fried oyster pancake was a rare delicacy.
“The aura of the Law of Life…”
After eating the fried oyster pancake, the Divine Emperor’s eyes lit up suddenly like the brightest star in the night sky. Under his sharp gaze, the officials present kept retreating.
‘A dish containing the Law of Life?!’
The Divine Emperor took a deep breath. With the fried oyster pancake entering his stomach, he could even feel that the power of the great trial, which surrounded him like maggots on rotting meat, was suppressed a little bit.
Yes… The power of the great trial was suppressed, and the nightmarish feeling was weakened considerably!
‘How is this possible?! A dish… could actually suppress my great trial?!’
The Divine Emperor’s eyes were filled with disbelief. He glanced at Hu Pingyang, then at the surrounding. After that, his face flashed brightly, and there seemed to be excitement and expectation in it.
“Hu Pingyang, let me ask you, where did this delicacy… come from?”
…
At the restaurant…
The day was just breaking, but the people outside the door were already crazy. The aroma exploded like a bomb in the crowd, utterly stunning and overwhelming everyone.
Inside the restaurant, Luo Sanniang, Summer, and the others were very satisfied with the food. Bu Fang cleared the plates and went back to the kitchen.
Suddenly, an uproar rang out from the crowd, and then the people parted. Although most of them were still immersed in the delicious aroma, many were shocked by the figure before them.
“The Crown Prince!”
“It’s the Crown Prince! I heard he’s going to become a waiter in this restaurant!”
“It sounds amazing! This restaurant is too awesome!”
The surrounding people chatted excitedly.
The disheveled Crown Prince, barefooted and dressed in a white robe, was walking over from a distance. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, and his aura was extremely fearsome.
Even though he was here to be a waiter, he was still very proud. Of course, he could not be proud in front of Bu Fang because he was defeated by him. That was also what embarrassed him.
As the Crown Prince and an existence who comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe, he was going to serve as a waiter in a lousy restaurant. It was a great shame!
He would like to see that, as a waiter, who would dare to come and let him serve! The corner of his mouth twitched, and he burst out laughing. He looked very dashing.
Bu Fang walked out from the kitchen, leaned his back against the door frame, folded his arms over his chest, and stared indifferently as the Crown Prince stepped through the door into the restaurant.
The Crown Prince’s aura was fluctuating, his eyes bursting with bright light. “I’ve lost the bet, and I am here to honor my word,” he said, staring at Bu Fang.
The tone in his voice was neither humble nor overbearing, but it was full of authority. Even the surrounding experts were awed by his powerful presence and dared not move.
Who would dare to come to eat in this restaurant when the Crown Prince was the waiter? A lot of people thought that Bu Fang’s decision was really wrong!
Bu Fang glanced expressionlessly at the high-spirited and vigorous Crown Prince. Then, he searched in the System’s storage space for a while before taking out a neat uniform and throwing it to the Crown Prince.
“Tie up your hair and put on this uniform… You are here to be a waiter, not to take a bath,” Bu Fang said.
The Crown Prince’s expression froze. Glancing at the uniform on the floor, his eyes seemed to be spurting fire.
“I’m the Crown Prince! How could I wear the garb of a servant? I would rather die than submit!”
Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth and gave the Crown Prince an indifferent look. ‘He would rather die than submit? Is he really such a strong-willed man?’
“Blacky, let me borrow your dog bone…” Bu Fang said.
Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree with his face up, rolled his eyes and corrected, “That is a Heavengod’s bone, not some dog bone…” Despite that, he still passed the bone to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang took the Heavengod’s bone, turned, and rested his eyes on the Crown Prince. “I heard you would rather die than submit, and you are going to stick to your will?” he said.
The Crown Prince’s expression changed drastically, and the skin on his face began to shiver. He took a deep breath with a look of fear in his eyes.
That Heavengod’s bone was a terrible artifact capable of crushing even Black and White. Although he was gifted, he was nowhere near as good as the two old men in terms of cultivation realm and fighting prowess.
He would not dare to be struck by the bone. The consequence was not what he could afford…
“Hold on.” The Crown Prince raised a hand and stopped Bu Fang with a serious look. “My Father said that serving as a waiter here for you is actually a training for me. Therefore, I will not refuse your request.”
After that, he picked up the uniform and put it on. Then, he produced a red hairband and tied up his hair with a beautiful bow.
“Very good.” Bu Fang was very satisfied with the Crown Prince’s pragmatic attitude. This was the kind of obedient staff that his restaurant needed.
After returning the Heavengod’s bone to Lord Dog, he patted the Crown Prince on the shoulder and said seriously, “I have faith in you. You will definitely become an excellent waiter.”
After that, he turned to the crowd of diners outside the door and said, “The restaurant officially opens today.”
As soon as his voice echoed out, there was a stir outside the door.
Standing behind Bu Fang, the Crown Prince sneered. He would like to see who would dare to come to eat in the restaurant. He was the Crown Prince. Did they dare to let a Crown Prince serve them? Were they qualified?
In fact, it was just as he had thought. The Crown Prince was the successor of the Divine Emperor’s throne. Who would dare to let him serve them?
Even the heads of the aristocratic families did not have the courage. Once they were remembered by the Crown Prince, when the Divine Emperor’s great trial descended, he would surely settle scores with them. They could not afford the consequences, even though they were aristocratic families…
Therefore, even after Bu Fang announced the opening of the restaurant, there were very few people coming to eat. In fact, if Luo Sanniang and Summer, who were already in the restaurant, were excluded, there was not a single customer…
Summer ordered an oyster pancake. Although the fried oyster pancake was delicious, she preferred the original one. Luo Sanniang, on the other hand, ordered a plate of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs after going through the menu. Yes, she ordered Lord Dog’s favorite ribs. She was tempted when she saw him enjoy it so much.
“After customers placed their orders, remember the names of the dishes, then come to the window and tell me…” Bu Fang said, looking at the Crown Prince. Then, he turned, lifted the curtain, and stepped into the kitchen.
Ting-a-ling!
The curtain fell, causing the bell on the door to tinkle.
The Crown Prince kept a straight face and was somewhat struck dumb. He was struggling and didn’t know whether he should do as Bu Fang said.
“Well… Every time you make a mistake, your clothes will be stripped. Don’t blame me for not warning you. Whitey is a… professional in stripping clothes.” Bu Fang’s indifferent voice drifted out from the kitchen.
With a buzzing sound, Whitey’s figure emerged near the door, its mechanical eyes flashing.
The Crown Prince and Whitey exchanged a glance. The man and the puppet seemed to freeze to the spot. After a long time, the Crown Prince still didn’t move. He didn’t seem to believe that. He was the Crown Prince. How could a puppet strip him naked?
He was a proud man. Losing to Bu Fang was just an accident. The puppet’s aura didn’t seem to be too strong. Yes, he was no match for Bu Fang, but how could he be weaker than a puppet?
So the Crown Prince clasped his hands behind his back and stood at where he was, unmoving. ‘It is impossible for me to serve. Not in this life!’ he thought proudly.
Suddenly, a sigh came drifting out of the kitchen, then Whitey moved. With a buzzing sound, its eyes flashed, and in the next moment, it appeared right in front of the Crown Prince.
“How laughable. Do you think I would be afraid of a mere puppet?” the Crown Prince sneered. To someone who could fight a God King, a puppet was nothing!
‘Dammit!’
The Crown Prince was suddenly taken aback because Whitey’s huge palm was slapping straight toward his upper body…
He roared while his Power of Law surged. He promised the Divine Emperor that he would come to the restaurant and be a waiter, but as the Crown Prince, he naturally had the pride of a Crown Prince! He would not yield so easily!
Besides, how could he really be a waiter? He wouldn’t have come if it hadn’t been for his mental demon and the Divine Emperor’s order.
Peng!
The Crown Prince’s palm, which contained the power of two supreme Laws of the Universe, collided with Whitey’s palm. The confident smile on his face soon froze, for he found that the Power of Law on his palm was constantly crumbling…
A ripping sound rang out. Confused, the Crown Prince only felt the world around him spin, and then the scene in front of him began to change tremendously. He also felt a chill all over his body as a breeze came blowing at him.
He flew across the air in a beautiful curve and smashed to the ground outside the restaurant with a thump…
Summer looked at the Crown Prince sympathetically. Whitey could even strip Silver Armor, a God King, naked. The Crown Prince was strong, but he was no match even for Silver Armor. In that case, how could he resist Whitey, who was immune to his Laws?
Whitey stripped the Crown Prince of his clothes and uniform, carefully folded them, and placed them on the ground. After that, it stared sincerely at the Crown Prince with its mechanical eyes.
The Crown Prince was stunned. Then, a cold look appeared on his face as he hastily put on all his clothes.
Rumble!
Just as the Crown Prince was getting dressed, Er Ha, who had eaten the fried oyster pancake, sat cross-legged down in the distance. His eyes flashed with dazzling light as a mighty power began to surge over his body. He was beginning to make a breakthrough for the Demigod realm.
