Chapter 857: Bu Fang Is Back

The chef was someone from the demon chef race of the Netherworld . Since Xie He loved eating, he found this demon chef to be his personal chef .

Practically speaking, it was the right decision to do so as all the people of the demon chef race were outstandingly skilled and able to cook delicious dishes .

Most importantly, the race of the demon chefs specialized in using condiments to bring out the maximum potential of a dish .

Ah Mo, the demon chef, opened his mouth . His eyes glowed as if he was a hunter who had spotted its prey . He lifted his hands, tapping on the steel cage with his long and sharp fingernail, letting out clinking sounds .

“This is really a great ingredient…” Ah Mo smiled as he said hoarsely, his face revealing his excitement and desire .

His mind had already begun considering the type of condiments to be used to season this particular ingredient . Indeed, he wanted to bring out its greatest flavor .

Ouyang Xiaoyi, who was inside the cage, trembled all over . She had grown up quite a bit . Although her face still carried a little immaturity, she was no longer the little girl of the past . She now had the attractiveness of a proper lady and an elegant figure to complement that fact .

Xiao Yanyu, who was blossoming into an elegant and gorgeous woman, also did not lose out in the least . However, despite being in the same situation, her gaze remained calm .

She was an educated and logical woman . Being very quiet, she often faded into the background .

When it comes to death, she did not have much fear . Although her eyes trembled, revealing the discomfort she felt in her heart, she was a lot calmer compared to Ouyang Xiaoyi .

This sort of calmness made the demon chef, Ah Mo, a little unhappy .

Crack!

Ah Mo’s palm suddenly grabbed the steel bar of the cage, instantly snapping it apart .

Although Ah Mo was only a chef, his cultivation was not weak . He possessed a Divine Physique Echelon Realm cultivation .

As a chef, they would have been helpless to procure certain ingredients if they had an insufficient cultivation level

“Release them!” shouted Xiao Xiaolong . He had been angered to his limit . His white face had become a shade of red from rage, and he puffed out white fumes from his nose as fury emanated from his body .

“Releasing them is simple . Just become my personal chef and cook for me… then I will let these two women live a little longer,” Xie He said with a smile .

Xiao Xiaolong raised his head . Flames of anger surged within his eyes as he retorted, “Dream on!”

…

Bu Fang crossed his arms as he slowly advanced forward, entering the imperial hall from the Heavenly Mystery Gate .

The Heavenly Mystery Gate was not unfamiliar to Bu Fang . He had walked through it on numerous occasions and had even cooked here for the Hundred Family Banquet before .

As his foot stepped on the ground, the piled-up snow that he had stepped on let out a crunch .

Ni Yan followed behind Bu Fang .

Suddenly, they came to a halt .

The Vermillion Robe on Bu Fang’s body scattered a radiance in the snowstorm, flapping elegantly in the wind .

The thick layer of piled up snow on the ground suddenly exploded .

Many pitch-black figures jumped out from the piled up snow and into the sky as clumps of snow spread out everywhere .

These were all experts of the demon scorpion race .

They leaped up into the sky and released their sure-kill attacks . As the scorpion tails shot out, the poison on the tips glistened under the sunlight .

“Die!”

These demon scorpion race experts had much stronger abilities compared to the ones that Bu Fang met earlier . Some were even Divine Physique Echelon Realm existences .

Their imposing manner was stronger, and their poison tails were even faster . It was as if they aimed to kill him with a single blow .

However, facing such a predicament, Bu Fang’s face still did not change .

With a fluctuation of his spirit sea, his mental force began to spread outward . The terrifying mental force caused the entire surroundings to freeze, and even the demon scorpions were frozen in the air .

Those demon scorpion race experts, whose faces were filled with malevolence, could not move an inch .

Bu Fang calmly watched as he raised his hand, then pointed with his finger .

A dark golden flame spewed out rapidly, thrusting into the figures of every single expert of the demon scorpion race .

From inside-out, they began to burn to ashes, just like what happened to the previous group of demon scorpion experts .

Even if they were Divine Physique Echelon Realm existences, they were still too weak against the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame .

Swish…

The ashes descended together with the white snow, and the smell of burnt flesh lingered in the air .

Bu Fang, with his arms crossed, continued on .

His mental force scattered, spreading across the entire imperial palace .

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes . He had just recognized a familiar person from his mental force, causing his face to sink .

Ni Yan, who followed behind Bu Fang, slightly froze upon seeing Bu Fang’s expression . She could feel that Boss Bu… seemed to have gotten a little furious .

…

Imperial Palace, Main Hall

The face of the chief of the demon scorpion race suddenly changed, and he gazed into the distance .

He had just felt his heart palpitate .

It seemed like his entire being was exposed . Who exactly would dare to take a peek at him?

In this backward human empire, could the possibility of powerful humans existing be true?

Impossible…

It must have been a mistake!

Xie He’s eyes shrunk, becoming more malicious . His gaze fell on Xiao Xiaolong, who did not agree to him even if he were to die . He began to lose interest .

“Ah Mo, I give you permission to begin cooking . I hope that you do not let me down,” Xie He said .

When Ah Mo heard Xie He’s words, energy spread out from his entire body . The treacherous face that was wrapped under the black robe revealed traces of excitement .

“Thank you, chief, for giving me permission… With this sort of peak-level ingredient, Ah Mo will definitely not let you down!”

With a wave of his hand, the steel bars on the cage completely fell apart .

Ouyang Xiaoyi and Xiao Yanyu’s elegant figures trembled .

“Stay away from us!”

No matter how calm Xiao Yanyu usually was, at this moment, she felt panicked . Could it be that they were going to die here today?

The calamity had come so suddenly that Xiao Yanyu and Ouyang Xiaoyi felt that it was a little hard to accept .

Xiao Xiaolong roared in anger . He still wanted to struggle and fight back . However, with his weak cultivation, he was completely unable to break free from the hold of the demon scorpions . He could only watch helplessly as that disgusting demon chef, Ah Mo, stepped closer and closer to Xiao Yanyu and Ouyang Xiaoyi .

“My little darlings, don’t be scared . When you become scared, the quality of the meat will fall… Come, give this great chef a smile…” Ah Mo said as he stepped closer and closer . His hand trembled, and a kitchen knife instantly appeared in his hands .

The appearance of that kitchen knife was very unique . In fact, it appeared to be less of a kitchen knife than a bone knife, carved from the thigh bone of some sort of spirit beast .

The white kitchen knife was engraved with runes, causing that knife to be filled with a mysterious fluctuation of energy . In turn, that mysterious energy made the blade incomparably sharp .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The kitchen knife in Ah Mo’s hands spun .

Light reflected off the flashing blade, whipping up vigorous winds . His mouth opened as his tongue stretched out, revealing a sinister smile .

That smile made Xiao Yanyu and Ouyang Xiaoyi’s figures tremble even more .

On the imperial throne, the chief of the demon scorpion race slightly narrowed his eyes, revealing his anticipation .

Xiao Xiaolong’s eyes widened and became bloodshot, anger surging forth .

However, he was unable to do anything . He could only watch helplessly as that kitchen knife gradually approach Xiao Yanyu and Ouyang Xiaoyi .

In the entire imperial palace, the experts of the demon scorpion race let out sounds of cold laughter .

The kitchen knife radiated a frigid light as it came near Ouyang Xiaoyi . Ah Mo had a unique method when it came to dealing with this type of ingredient .

The demon race specialized in cooking, more so in using condiments .

Around his body, white bone jars filled with dense fragrance floated up, swirling around him .

With a smacking sound, Ah Mo grabbed the kitchen knife tightly . His eyes widened as he slashed towards Ouyang Xiaoyi’s neck in one fluid motion .

To deal with such an ingredient, one had to drain the blood first…

Ah Mo’s tongue stretched out far, and his entire face was filled with anticipation at the blood-letting that was about to happen . That fragrant and aromatic fresh blood pouring forth made his entire body gently tremble in excitement .

Ouyang Xiaoyi was so frightened that she tightly shut her eyes, her entire being wrapped in despair .

She had completely given up hope .

However, just as she thought she was about to die, the pain that she had imagined did not come to fruition .

At the same time, the hall had become extremely quiet .

Ouyang Xiaoyi’s eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes .

She realized that the kitchen knife was only about an inch away from her neck . But the knife could not advance any further .

Ah Mo’s figure was frozen, his eyes filled with disbelief .

Tap . Tap . Tap .

Clear footsteps resounded in everyone’s ears .

Ouyang Xiaoyi and Xiao Yanyu froze .

Everyone raised their heads and looked over .

From there… a familiar lean figure slowly walked out .

Bu Fang crossed his arms as the Vermillion Robe flapped on his body . His calm mental force surged, and upon taking in the scene inside the imperial hall, he gently let out a breath .

“I’m back . ”
