“Cheers?!”
Did he think he was drinking wine?
Tongtian and the others all laughed and shook their heads. They lifted their bowls, gave the soup a little swirl, and drank it like Bu Fang.
Bu Fang had added countless precious divine herbs into the soup, their essences perfectly mixing with the nutrition of the dragon tail. It made the soup full of great tonic effect and great energy.
Suiren drank it excitedly. His throat kept moving as the delicious soup poured into his mouth.
As he drank, his body and mind seemed to be changing. The Flower of the Great Path above him quietly bloomed, releasing mysterious waves of energy that made heaven and earth rumble.
“Haha… It’s so refres.h.i.+ng!”
Suiren burst out laughing. After finis.h.i.+ng the soup, he picked out a piece of dragon meat from the bowl, put it into his mouth, and chewed. The meat was chewy, but as he chewed, energy poured out of it and rushed into his body, causing his energy to start growing exponentially.
Not only Suiren, but f.u.xi and Shennong also drank the soup. However, the way they drank it was much more polite than him.
As the soup entered their stomachs, the two human emperors exchanged a glance and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Their exhausted bodies suddenly came back to life at this moment. The feeling was like a sweet rain had finally come after a long drought. They felt nourished both physically and mentally.
A tremendous amount of energy surrounded them, causing their aura to fluctuate fiercely as if to shatter the vault of heaven.
Sun Wukong kept shaking his bowl after drinking as if he wanted to shake more soup out of it. He had never tasted such delicious soup. The taste simply intoxicated him. It was even more delicious than the immortal peaches from the Celestial Court!
Everyone enjoyed it. A bowl of soul had made everyone’s body and mind transformed a little.
The Celestial Dog finally got to drink the soup this time. Yang Jian, perhaps afraid of being ignored again, specially left a mouthful of soup for it. The dog licked the soup while wagging its tail, satisfied and happy.
Yang Jian could not help sighing in his heart. He was a mighty divine general of the Celestial Court and an Immortal Emperor, yet he had to adapt to a dog’s disposition… That was the sorrow of being a dog owner.
In the distance, Pride Great Soul Overlord, who was nailed in midair by the branch of the World Tree, hissed and roared.
He could not stand the thought of his flesh being eaten by these humans. All along, only Soul Demons ate humans, not the other way around! He could not accept it at all!
However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. It was said that the World Tree was the home of the souls of all Immortals and G.o.ds, so it had a very powerful effect on suppressing souls.
Bu Fang put away the Soul Overlord’s body. To him, a Chaotic-Saint-level body was definitely the greatest prize. He could use it to cook many delicacies later.
At the same time, f.u.xi operated the Eight Trigrams Array and crushed Pride Great Soul Overlord’s soul, turning it into pure energy and sending it into the array.
Down below, the array that blocked the cosmic portal was filled with black smoke. But with the influx of energy, the cracks in the array were quickly repaired. The array, which was on the verge of breaking, was able to guard the pa.s.sage where the Soul Demons used to invade Earth.
f.u.xi expressed his grat.i.tude to Bu Fang by nodding his head. The soup had given him back his energy, so he was very pleased.
Looking at Bu Fang, he flicked his finger. A ray of light instantly shot into Bu Fang’s body. It was his gift to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang paused for a moment. He saw a spinning Eight Trigrams Array land on his Taotie Arm. The array plus the energy of Yin and Yang seemed to transform the arm. He could not feel the change, but he was sure he would notice it later.
After doing all this, f.u.xi descended like a meteor to the center of the array that sealed the cosmic portal. He sat cross-legged down and put his hands on his knees, his eyes slightly drooping.
Boom!
There seemed to be something terrible pounding on the other side of the array, causing it to tremble continuously. There was no doubt that the Soul Demons had launched another attack. Perhaps they had sensed that Pride Great Soul Overlord was killed.
To the Soul Demons, the fall of a Great Soul Overlord was a great loss, not to mention that this loss did not bring them any real benefit.
Shennong also expressed his thanks to Bu Fang. He nodded, shook his hand, and produced an old clay pot.
“This is Hundred Flowers Divine Wine. It is brewed from hundreds of flowers, all of which are top-grade divine herbs. I am now giving it to you. One sip of this divine wine can give life to the dead and slow down the injury of the soul,” Shennong said with a smile.
Bu Fang took it. Holding it in his hand, he felt that the clay pot was extremely heavy. As the wine Shennong had brewed with all the precious materials he had collected throughout his life, it was arguably his most precious possession.
Bu Fang suddenly fell silent. He felt that there was something wrong with the two human emperors. They had given him their most precious treasures, as if they wanted them to be pa.s.sed on.
After giving away the Hundred Flowers Divine Wine, Shennong stepped on an auspicious cloud and landed in the array, suppressing the cosmic portal together with f.u.xi. Many divine herbs hovered around him—each one seemed to have a spiritual nature.
Suiren glanced at Bu Fang and said, “I’ve given you what I had to give. You have grasped the hope of the primordial fire, and that is my legacy to you…” He stroked his beard and laughed.
“It’s time for you guys to go. This is the Ancestral Planet’s last line of defense. Those brutes will never break through as long as we three old bones are still here!”
He put the tree branch on his shoulder, and an aura erupted from his body, shaking the starry sky. The next moment, he shook his hand.
A wave of Chaotic Energy immediately enveloped the crowd. Everyone only felt the world around them spin, and then they found that they had left the starry sky.
Standing outside the cave, Bu Fang looked through the entrance. He saw Suiren carrying the tree branch, laughing and sitting cross-legged in the starry sky. Countless stars darkened in an instant. The cosmic portal floated behind him, while the array kept rumbling.
Two old but magnificent figures sat cross-legged on the array, suppressing the cosmic portal and guarding the Ancestral Planet of mankind with determination as solid as a rock.
“These are the three human emperors with great merit and virtue… They will always be the most solid backing for mankind,” Tongtian said with emotion. The four immortal swords were hovering behind him, while he held the green sword in his arms.
Everyone’s face showed the highest respect for the three human emperors. Great men like these deserved their admiration.
The next moment, they turned and flew toward Earth in streams of light.
The four cosmic portals had been secured. Some of the remaining Soul Demons made their way to Earth, but they were ruthlessly killed by Tongtian.
The Sect Leader hung the four immortal swords over the four black holes. Sun Wukong plucked four of his hairs, transformed each into a golden-banded staff, and made them guard the portals. As for Yang Jiang, he did not have any tricks like them.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, cooked four steaming dishes and placed them outside each of the four entrances. Each dish exuded a unique aura that belonged to one G.o.d of Cooking Set as it guarded the portal.
At this point, Earth was impregnable and would not be invaded by Soul Demons.
As for the remaining Soul Demons who invaded Earth, they went into hiding after all the Soul Overlords were killed. However, as the public enemy of mankind, they could not continue to exist.
The United States, Hua, and the Western Alliance had joined forces to find and kill these Soul Demons. Soon, all the Soul Demons on Earth were completely wiped out.
…
Bu Fang, Nethery, the Empyrean Fairy, Yang Jian, and Sun Wukong landed in front of Bu Bu Little Kitchen.
Many Immortals saw them and came at once. They were very respectful to Bu Fang, but when they saw Sun Wukong, they were all taken aback.
“Greetings, Great Sage…” These Immortals quickly clasped their fists and bowed to him.
“Well, I have become a Buddha, so I’m no longer as cruel and brutal as before. You guys should not be afraid…” Sun Wukong laughed and scratched his cheeks.
Nethery seemed strangely quiet, and Bu Fang noticed that. Frowning, he asked, “Are you okay?”
She glanced at him and shook her head with an expressionless face. Then, she stepped into the restaurant, went up to the second floor, and returned to her room.
The layout of Bubu Little Kitchen was basically the same as any of Bu Fang’s other restaurants.
Foxy jumped into Bu Fang’s arms, craned her head, and watched Nethery walk up to the second floor. Her tiny eyes looked puzzled.
Bu Fang frowned, stroked the little fox’s head, and said nothing.
With his return, the restaurant became very lively. After learning of his return, senior figures from various countries rushed to Mount Kunlun, though Bu Fang had not said anything about selling Soul Overlord meat.
The restaurant was filled with smoke, and the air was rich with the smell of food. Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and the Celestial Dog were feasting around a table.
“Ah… Tsk, tsk… This sour and spicy taste really makes me crave for more!”
Sun Wukong lifted his head from the bowl. The hair on his face was stained with sauce, giving him a funny look, while his lips were red from the spicy taste.
Yang Jian’s mouth was stuffed full of food, and the vertical eye on his forehead was wide open. He simply could not stop eating.
The Celestial Dog, on the other hand, was wagging its tail in excitement.
Ting-a-ling!
The kitchen curtain was lifted. Bu Fang came out, wiping the water off his hands. “Well, does the taste of the food suit you?” he asked indifferently, looking at the three fellows who were eating contentedly.
Sun Wukong was so excited that he jumped up from his chair and squatted on the dining table, scratching his ears and cheeks.
“More than just suits our taste! I dare say you couldn’t find anything so delicious in the Jade Emperor’s Celestial Court… And the immortal pills in Lord Lao Zi’s cauldron are so tasteless compared to your dis.h.!.+”
Sun Wukong was generous with his praise. A faint smile brushed Bu Fang’s lips. He enjoyed the compliment.
Tongtian returned to the Immortal Island of Penglai. As the leader of Earth’s Immortals, he would not leave easily.
After learning that Bu Fang was not going to sell Soul Overlord meat, the leaders of different countries also left. However, they all left some people behind to keep an eye on the restaurant.
Bu Fang suddenly had nothing to do, so he pulled a chair and sat down in front of the restaurant. Lying on the chair and watching the sunset over Mount Kunlun, he felt very comfortable.
Sun Wukong also followed Bu Fang’s example and lay down on a recliner after he had eaten his fill. However, after lying down for a while, he got bored and jumped onto the roof to chase the Kun Bird.
The sun that looked like an egg yolk slowly hid behind the mountains, turning the sky red.
Suddenly, Bu Fang saw a figure walking slowly toward him from a distance. It moved so quick that in just the blink of an eye, it was already in front of the restaurant.
From head to toe, the figure was wrapped in a black robe, so Bu Fang could not see his or her face.
The strange visitor stood in front of the restaurant, facing Bu Fang who was lying on the recliner. The pair of eyes under the black robe seemed to stare at him for a long time, then at last they turned to the restaurant.
The next moment, the black-robed figure ignored Bu Fang and walked toward the restaurant.
“I’m sorry, but the restaurant is temporarily closed,” Bu Fang said, c.o.c.king his head.
The figure paused for a brief moment, then continued stepping into the restaurant.
Bu Fang’s brows furrowed instantly.
“Hmm… I’m not here to eat. I’m here to look for someone… May I ask if the Cursed G.o.ddess is here? It’s time for her to… go home,” the black-robed figure said indifferently.
Bu Fang’s pupils constricted.
