A loud voice rang out from outside.

After that, many clamorous voices were heard from the other Immortal Chefs.

The Tongs and Owner Bu had some grudges, and this wasn’t a secret in the first layer. The moment Owner Bu came to the Immortal Cooking Realm, he dealt with the Tong family’s genius, and this made them turn their backs on each other.

Now, Tong Wudi, the head of the Tong family, had brought gifts to congratulate Bu Fang.

The glory of a family was nothing compared to standing at the forefront of the Immortal Chef Tournament, so turning their backs on the champion would not be a good move for the Tong family.

The Immortal Chef Tournament always brought forth Third Grade Immortal Chefs, who would likely become Qilin Chefs soon!

For example, the City Lord of the second layer, Lu Zhanfeng, had shown his talent in the Immortal Chef Tournament and finally became a Qilin Chef. Eventually, he earned himself the City Lord position.

The champion of the Immortal Chef Tournament was a glorious t.i.tle, which was capable of making everyone go crazy!

Bu Fang furrowed his brows, but he didn’t move.

He took a Blood Lobster from Nethery’s dish and pulled out the soft meat, which he shoved into his mouth.

Then, he used a white cloth to clean his hands, taking his sweet time before he walked to the doors.

Creak.

The restaurant’s doors opened.

Seeing this, Tong Wudi, whose face had turned sullen because of waiting, finally exhaled in relief.

He was afraid that Bu Fang would not open the door for him. It would have been really humiliating for him, a City Lord.

Fortunately for him, Bu Fang opened the doors.

As long as he opened the doors, everything would be solved. The gifts he had prepared were sure to satisfy Bu Fang.

Tong Wudi didn’t want to offend a talented genius because of his family. Hence, he considered it best if he could erase the grudge with some good gifts.

With this thought in mind, Tong Wudi exhaled gently and smiled.

“Old Bu…”

Bu Fang gazed at Tong Wudi expressionlessly.

Bam!

With a loud bang, the restaurant’s doors were slammed shut.

Tong Wudi’s face turned ugly. He had not even finished speaking when the doors were slammed in his face.

This made him almost vomit blood. No matter what, he was still the City Lord of the first layer.

Tong Wudi was so embarra.s.sed.

The people around him shot him mocking looks. It felt like sharp needles p.r.i.c.king his skin, making him blush and feel even more humiliated.

“Bu Fang, you think you’re such a bigshot after winning the Immortal Chef Tournament?!” Tong Wudi’s face darkened as he spoke through gritted teeth.

The Immortal Chefs surrounding Immortal Chef Little Store looked pensive.

Well, yeah. Owner Bu… is actually a bigshot now.

Tong Wudi was enraged!

How could someone with his fierce nature stomach such humiliation?

Suddenly, laughter rang out.

In the distance, a group of people slowly came.

Gongshu Baiguang, the head of the Gongshu family, had just arrived, bringing gifts. Since his family had a good relations.h.i.+p with Bu Fang, he felt at ease.

Bu Fang’s rise was beyond their expectations. Who would have thought that an Immortal Chef from the world of mortals would defeat so many geniuses in the Immortal Chef Tournament?

Such a feat was merely a dream to people⁠—one they found hard to imagine.

Tong Wudi’s expression was ugly, while the head of the Gongshu family wore a smirk on his face.

Tong Wudi was so angry that he was about to explode.

The head of the Gongshu family knocked on the restaurant’s doors.

“Owner Bu, I am the head of the Gongshu family. I’m here to congratulate you on becoming the champion of the Immortal Chef Tournament.”

The head of the Gongshus believed that Bu Fang would open the doors for him, since the relations.h.i.+p between Gongshu Ban and Bu Fang was good.

With that, he would be able to insult Tong Wudi.

When Tong Wudi became the City Lord, the head of the Gongshu family was enraged, but he hid it in his heart.

What Tong Wudi had done was despicable. He had plotted against the Mu family, eradicating them and usurping their power to become the City Lord.

It was the most despicable deed! The deed people disdained the most!

The knock reverberated throughout the surroundings.

The onlookers held their breaths, wondering if Owner Bu would open the doors for the head of the Gongshu family.

Creak.

While they were antic.i.p.ating the outcome, the doors creaked open.

With clasped hands, Bu Fang appeared with an expressionless face.

“Our business hours for today are over. I’m very busy. You can leave the gifts here. After that, please leave,” Bu Fang said.

The moment Bu Fang said that, Gongshu Baiguang’s face stiffened.

Bu Fang had not given him any face. Looking through the corner of his eye, he saw Tong Wudi’s mouth twitching.

Unexpectedly, this delighted the head of the Gongshu family.

He understood it immediately. This was Owner Bu’s style.

Previously, Bu Fang did not even listen to Tong Wudi, did he?

Naturally, the head of the Gongshu family smiled at this. After that, he asked his people to leave the gifts in front of the restaurant, then turned to leave.

The head of the Gongshu family understood how formidable Bu Fang was the moment Gongshu Ban told him everything that had happened in the tournament.

Thus, what Tong Wudi knew about Bu Fang, he knew, and what Tong Wudi didn’t know, he also knew.

The head of the Gongshu family wasn’t a fool. He wasn’t willing to offend someone he couldn’t afford to offend just because he wanted to maintain his face.

Furthermore, Tong Wudi did not really come to give gifts. He had come here to congratulate Bu Fang, but the latter did not welcome him and only wanted to take the gifts…

How could things be that convenient?!

Bu Fang glanced at the hesitant Tong Wudi, the corners of his mouth raised.

Want to use feigned goodwill to exchange for my favor?

“Up to you…”

Bu Fang grabbed the gifts left by the head of the Gongshu family and placed them into the system’s dimensional bag.

Then, he clasped his hands and walked back into the restaurant.

The doors of the restaurant moved even though there was no wind, and with a low thud, they closed.

Tong Wudi’s face turned blue-gray…

The head of the Gongshu family sighed in relief. At least, Bu Fang had received his gifts.

Then, he looked at Tong Wudi and began to think.

Swoosh…

At that moment, energy waves expanded in the sky.

Startled, everyone present could not help but look up.

Above them was a graceful figure, which was slowly descending.

This person had his fingers pinched together like an orchid flower. There was a faint smile on his face as well.

“So stunning!”

“She’s like a deity… I think I’m in love!”

“I think a G.o.ddess is looking at me…”

The group of Immortal Chefs gasped and exclaimed. They all looked infatuated after seeing the figure in the sky.

The five-colored halo emanating from that person dazzled their eyes, making that person look so ethereal and beautiful.

City Lord Zou slowly descended.

With a loud “swish,” the crowd hurriedly parted, opening up a large area for him.

They all looked at City Lord Zou in astonishment, and many of them appeared lovestruck.

If only they could be together with her… Ah, wait a minute!

The Immortal Chefs were suddenly jolted out of their trance, and they could not help sucking in mouthfuls of cold air.

This was because City Lord Zou had just spoken…

A masculine, magnetic voice permeated the air, frightening the entire crowd.

F*ck!

That person is a man?!

“Tong Wudi, please pay attention…”

City Lord Zou naturally knew Tong Wudi since the latter was the one who led him to this restaurant before.

The moment he recognized Tong Wudi, he hurried over and said, “After Mu Yang, the City Lord of the first layer, pa.s.sed away, the Realm Lord declared the position vacant. The interim City Lord, Tong Wudi, has done his part well, but from now on, Gongshu Baiguang of the Gongshu family has been specially ordained the City Lord of the first layer. Both of you should hurry up with the hand-over process. Tomorrow, the Realm Lord will chair the City Lord Conference, and Gongshu Baiguang is requested to attend this.”

Tong Wudi was shocked.

Everyone watching was bewildered.

What just happened? Are they hallucinating?

Tong Wudi was dumbstruck. The first sentences were used to praise him, but the next ones were used to replace him?

If he had done well, how come Gongshu Baiguang was made the new City Lord?

Gongshu Baiguang was bewildered for a while. Then, he got a hold of himself and burst into a bout of crazy laughter.

“Thank you, City Lord Zou. Gongshu Baiguang acknowledges this order!” Gongshu Baiguang rubbed his hands in excitement.

The Immortal Chefs around began to clamor.

“Why is that?!” Tong Wudi’s eyes reddened, looking at City Lord Zou resentfully.

How did he fail to become the City Lord? He had spent a lot for that t.i.tle!

In the end, Gongshu Baiguang ended up getting everything!

“I, Tong Wudi, have managed everything in Immortal City very well. Why can’t I be the City Lord? Why do I have to give it up the moment you say that I have to give up?”

Tong Wudi was very enraged. He was so unwilling.

City Lord Zou didn’t expect that Tong Wudi would actually retort. He rolled his eyes before flicking his slender fingers.

Instantly, they touched Tong Wudi’s glabella.

“What you just said you did… is something everyone else can do. So, why can’t they become City Lord? Do you know the reason why?”

His fingers moved.

Instantly, an invisible wave rippled.

Tong Wudi felt his mind shake, and his heart lurched.

He was sent staggering backwards and soon fell on his b.u.t.t.

City Lord Zou sneered, then arrogantly snorted. After that, he checked out the restaurant with an admiring and pensive gaze.

Afterward, City Lord Zou’s figure soared up into the sky.

There was so much work waiting for him in the Immortal Cooking Realm. He didn’t have time to babble with Tong Wudi.

Tong Wudi was dumbstruck.

Gongshu Baiguang looked at Tong Wudi with sympathy. “You don’t know why you did not succeed in getting the City Lord position?”

Tong Wudi’s eyes were like ashes as his gaze s.h.i.+fted to Gongshu Baiguang.

He had some a.s.sumptions, but he didn’t dare to confirm.

The moment Gongshu Baiguang’s eyes focused on the restaurant, Tong Wudi understood it.

Everything was because of that mortal chef, Bu Fang.

He lost his City Lord t.i.tle because he had offended Bu Fang?!

Puff! Puff!

He was so distressed that he vomited blood.

A top family of the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm had been subdued by a chef from the lower realm.

The surrounding Immortal Chefs yelped.

Tong Wudi could no longer be the City Lord. The role had been officially a.s.signed to the head of the Gongshu family.

This was the second biggest news so far, and it shocked the entire first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm!

…

That night, Tong Wudi’s eyes looked so bloodshot that veins could be seen all over them.

He sat in his room, scratching his head. Sometimes, he laughed crazily, and other times, he sobbed.

He occasionally descended into madness and began to break the items in the room.

Losing the City Lord position had made Tong Wudi descend completely into madness.

The Tong family staff did not dare to go near Tong Wudi’s room. They were afraid that he would tear them apart in his rage.

“Bu Fang! d.a.m.n you!”

Bang! Bang!

A porcelain item hit the door, shattering into pieces.

Tong Wudi roared inside the room.

No other voice could be heard within the Tong family. The rest were completely silent.

A long time later, Tong Wudi, who was sitting down, heaved hoa.r.s.ely, his chest rising up and down.

Swoosh…

Suddenly, a wave of energy spread through the room.

Tong Wudi’s eyes shrank.

“Who’s there?!” Tong Wudi shouted at the corner.

s.p.a.ce distorted, and a shadow slowly walked out from that corner.

It was a man in a black cloak, whose white hair was fluttering. His face was filled with blood marks. As he walked forward, a smirk could be seen on his face.

Liu Mobai gazed indifferently at Tong Wudi.

“You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that I’m here to help you.”

“Why do you want to help me?!” Tong Wudi was cautious. As the head of the family, it was only natural that he would say this.

“Why? Don’t you want to take revenge? This loss… Do you intend to just swallow it like this?”

Liu Mobai sauntered over to a chair. He sat on it, then crossed his legs.

His sleeves slid, revealing a fair hand with black fingernails. His slender fingers were just like a piece of art.

“What you want, I can give it to you as long as you work for me.” Liu Mobai supported his chin with that hand, looking at Tong Wudi. “Bu Fang… is our common enemy. He made you lose your City Lord position. Don’t you want to… kill him?”
