Chapter 180
Hiss!
A faint hissing sound could be heard . As Bu Fang held the bowl of congee in his hands, the vitality energy hovering above it appeared to have turned into a small snake . It was continuously swimming around in the air and intermingling with the aroma encircling it .
"This… this is an elixir cuisine?!" Wu Yunbai exclaimed in disbelief .
Bu Fang gave her a puzzled glance . He could not understand why she was so surprised . Was making a bowl of elixir cuisine . . . really that strange?
Of course, there was nothing strange about making an elixir cuisine . Wu Yunbai was only surprised because Bu Fang easily made the elixir cuisine even when the amount of true energy in his body was in a depleted state .
The working condition was extremely horrible as well . That cooking stove… Wu Yunbai had never seen a cooking stove in such a terrible state before . It was doubtful whether this cooking stove could be used to cook ordinary dishes, let alone elixir cuisines that had harsher requirements and a higher difficulty .
Bu Fang brought the steaming bowl of congee over to the serpent-man . Yu Fu and her mother were staring at him with eyes filled with hope while the head elder's gaze was filled with gratitude .
Bu Fang's elixir cuisine was their only chance left .
Bu Fang gave the serpent-man a glance and went into a daze for a moment . He then turned toward Yu Fu's mother and said, "Feed this to him . "
The serpent-man was her husband after all . Besides, Bu Fang did not have the habit of feeding another male . . .
Yu Fu's mother carefully took the bowl from Bu Fang . This was her last hope .
As she scooped a spoonful of congee using a worn out duck spoon, a small snake made of vitality energy encircled the handle of the spoon like a vine entwining a branch .
With a careful expression, Yu Fu's mother gently blew on the spoonful of congee in order to cool the piping hot congee, even though this level of hotness would not be able to hurt the serpent-man at all .
As she fed the serpent-man a spoonful of congee, the congee entered his stomach and turned into a small snake . It instantly spread throughout his body and nourished every part of it .
The turbulent spirit energy within the Wandering Dragon Cow's meat plus the vitality energy from the Black Swamp Boa's blood crown immediately caused the serpent-man's cold body to heat up like he was thrown into a fire .

The eyes of Yu Fu's mother suddenly widened and her hand holding the bowl of congee started trembling as well . She suppressed the agitation in her heart and fed the serpent-man spoon by spoon .
As Bu Fang watched this scene, a barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips .
It really worked?! Wu Yunbai was astonished . To be able to produce an elixir cuisine in such harsh conditions, how formidable was this young man's culinary skill? Even the chefs back at the White Cloud Villa might be inferior to him .
The head elder finally let out a sigh of relief while Yu Fu's eyes were filled with joy .
After finishing half the bowl of congee, Yu Fu's mother suddenly felt her husband's body slightly trembled for a moment . The slight tremble caused her heart to quiver in response . There was finally a reaction from her husband!
Subsequently, under everyone's attentive gaze, the eyes of that serpent-man, Yu Feng, slowly opened . His eyes were filled with confusion .
The mood of the serpent-men family was finally turned from sadness to happiness . Bu Fang was feeling a little happy for them as well .
However, Bu Fang was more happy about finally completing his objective for entering the Illusory Spirit Swamp . He managed to obtain a satisfactory ingredient, the seed pod and seeds of a seventh grade spirit herb, the Ice Soul Monarch Lotus .
"Spirit herb harvesting completed . Next, the return teleportation will now begin . Teleportation preparation in progress . . . "
Just when Bu Fang was quietly watching the joyful reunion of the serpent-men family, the system's solemn voice suddenly resounded in his mind .
Bu Fang was slightly startled for a moment . He almost forgot about returning home .
"Teleportation preparation is completed . The return teleportation will begin in 3, 2, 1 . . . "
As the system finished counting down, a white speck of light appeared above Bu Fang's head . It started to rapidly form lines of light in the air and soon finished drawing a magic array .
Wu Yunbai was the first to notice the strange phenomenon happening around Bu Fang . The magic array hovering in the air made her eyes widen from surprise . . .
"What is he going to do this time? This magic array… it's really complex!" Wu Yunbai thought . It was a magic array that she had never seen before .
The serpent-men family noticed the commotion as well . Yu Fu opened her mouth and asked, "Our benefactor, what's going on? Are… are you leaving already?"

As Bu Fang sensed the magic array above his head was about to be completed, he suddenly recalled something important .
He went into a daze for a moment before he turned toward Yu Fu and said, "Erm… Miss, there's something else that I need to inform you . As your father's constitution is too weak, I only provided enough vitality energy within the Wandering Dragon Beef Congee to sustain him for half a month . "
What?! Yu Fu and her father, Yu Feng, who was getting up from the bed, was startled as well .
This bowl of congee will only provide him enough vitality energy for half a month? Doesn't that mean he would revert back to his weakened state after half a month?
"Our benefactor, isn't there any other solution?" Yu Feng anxiously asked . Since there was finally a possibility of treating him, he definitely had to grasp the chance . He felt a sense of shame for letting his wife and daughter worried about him while he lay in bed all the time .
Yu Fu looked toward Bu Fang with hopeful eyes as well .
She firmly believed that Bu Fang could treat her father!
As Bu Fang pondered for a moment, a breeze started to encircle him and gradually grew stronger .
"Within half a month, come to the Light Wind Empire's imperial city and look for Fang Fang's Little Store . Once you're there, I have a way of helping you," Bu Fang said .
Half a month, Light Wind Empire's imperial city, Fang Fang's Little Store!
Yu Fu deeply memorized these words in her heart .
"Hey! Don't go just yet! The seeds of the Ice Soul Monarch Lotus are still in your hands, I want to trade with you!"
Wu Yunbai finally recovered from her surprise . "Looks like this Bu Fang is planning to teleport away… But, activating a teleportation array on the spot, is there a need for him to be so showy?!"
"Hmm? What? This woman wants to make a trade for the seeds of the Ice Soul Monarch Lotus?" Bu Fang thought .
He suddenly raised his eyebrows for a moment and then expressionlessly looked toward Wu Yunbai . The latter's voice was already starting to be overwhelmed by the deafening sound of the wind .
"If you want the lotus seeds, come look for me in the imperial city," Bu Fang coolly replied .
As his words ended, the magic array shrunk and disappeared along with Bu Fang .
Looking at the empty room, Wu Yunbai was furious! She could not believe Bu Fang actually teleported away on the spot… She thought, "Doesn't he know that people who show off like this will get struck by lightning?!"
Within Wu Yunbai's memories, only those teleportation array spirit talismans made by array masters were similar to the magic array that appeared earlier on .
"Hmph! The imperial city of the Light Wind Empire? I will definitely find you!" Wu Yunbai muttered .
Yu Fu had never gone to the imperial city before . In fact, she had never even left the tribe before, so she had no idea about the outside world . Therefore, she asked, "Dad, our benefactor told us to go to the imperial city of the Light Wind Empire, but… how long will it take for us to get there?"
At the moment, Yu Feng's expression was somewhat awkward .
He stroked Yu Fu's head and said, "It's not that far . From here to the imperial city… should take half a month of travel . "
. . .
A gust of wind started blowing and then engulfed the entire room .
A speck of light appeared in the air and gradually formed a complete magic array . As the wind violently blew on, a figure slowly appeared in the center of the wind .
Bu Fang's thin figure walked out of the wind and stood in the middle of the room . As he sensed the familiarity of his surroundings, he suddenly felt a sense of comfort .
"As I thought, the inside of the store is still the most comfortable," Bu Fang exclaimed .
After staying in the Illusory Spirit Swamp for so long, his entire body was feeling sticky . Therefore, the first thing he did after returning was not examining the ingredient that he obtained; instead, he immediately headed into the bathroom .
For a chef with a slight obsession with cleanliness, having a dirty appearance was most unacceptable .
However, while Bu Fang was happily taking a shower, he did not realize a crowd was already gathered outside the store . . .

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

To continue reading beyond chapter 6, please use this link to find MEA on Scribble Hub. Sorry for the inconvenience.] Sawatari Mikasa was a normal high school girl. She was great at sports, had above-average grades, lots of friends, and a little brother that she loved more than anything in the world. To Mikasa, life couldn't be more perfect. That is, until the day she received the phone call that shattered her world. "Yuu has been hospitalized." Her precious younger brother, Yuu. In a fit of panic, Mikasa raced towards the hospital to check on him. But her negligence threw her straight into the path of an oncoming car... And that was how the girl known as 'Sawatari Mikasa' lost her life. When she awoke, she found herself before the being known as 'God', who presented her a second chance at life in a new world. She accepted, and only had one question: "What happened to Yuu?" But God would not give her an answer, and before she knew it she was being reborn in a world of monsters and magic straight out of a fantasy novel. However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that. 'I need to go home and find out what happened' This became Mikasa- no, Micah's goal in this new world. Even if she had to become God's enemy, or even that of the world's, she would do whatever it takes to make sure her brother is safe. If Yuu had recovered safely in the hospital, then she would be happy. Having fulfilled her duties as an older sister to the best of her ability, she would peacefully live in this world for the rest of her life. But if Yuu had somehow died, and was in this world too... 'Find Yuu' or 'Find God'. I don't care which comes first. Micah's journey to find her 'Happily Ever After' had begun.
