Chapter 1113: Boiled Beef
Translator: Zen.o.bys, CatatoPatch
He’s crying?!
Bu Fang couldn’t hold back his astonishment.
He had not thought… that this kid would suddenly sit down and burst into tears during the Chef’s Challenge.
Looking at the kid cry himself hoa.r.s.e, Bu Fang felt somewhat embarra.s.sed.
Had he been too cruel?
However, the corners of his lips soon curled up. Actually, he was being kind right now. He was not cooking a high-level dish.
He turned his attention back to the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, which began to shake. Clouds of steam surged from it and condensed into a giant bull in the air.
Bu Fang then tipped the Black Turtle Constellation Wok over a blue and white porcelain dish, pouring the meat onto it.
However, his dish was not yet done.
Bu Fang glanced at the sobbing Jin Tong, the corners of his mouth twitching.
Is this a comedy skit?!
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in his hand twirled before slas.h.i.+ng downward, striking the White Tiger Heaven Stove with a loud clang.
That reverberating noise made Jin Tong stop sobbing. He looked at Bu Fang with a dumb expression, his entire face soaked in tears and snot.
“Why are you crying? As a chef, even if you’re suppressed to the point you can no longer hold your knife, you still have to finish your dish. Crying… is a coward’s behavior,” Bu Fang coldly said, giving Jin Tong a sidelong glance.
Jin Tong was bewildered. He looked up, opened his mouth wider… and cried even louder.
He felt so aggrieved.
This Chef’s Challenge was a humiliating one for him. Not only had he been so terrified by Bu Fang that he could not wield his knife well, but he was also immobilized by his opponent’s Heart of Cooking Path. This irritated him so much that he wished to vomit blood.
He was a genius from the Nine Revolution Clan, but he only had Three Revolutions because he was too young.
Nevertheless, he was proud and arrogant. However, Bu Fang had now pressured him so badly that he was unable to hold his knife properly.
That pressure coming from Bu Fang numbed and dizzied him, bringing him to a standstill.
He wished to complete his dish, but… the deep grievance in his heart made him so irritated.
His countenance was in complete disarray in this Chef’s Challenge. Even if he used his toe to think, he knew he would still lose this battle.
Who was it that told him that the Immortal Chefs in the Immortal Cooking Realm were all weak?
This chef… gave off a pressure even more intimidating than his brother’s.
Jin Tong felt utter regret. If he had known earlier that things would turn out this way, he would not have acted cool…
Bu Fang glanced at the crying Jin Tong one more time before ignoring him completely.
Kids would always be kids.
At this point, Nethery and Xixi walked out of the restaurant.
Nethery was wearing a black dress, which left her slender and fair legs exposed. She leaned against the doors, folding her arms in front of her chest as she watched Bu Fang cook.
Xixi hugged Nethery’s thigh and craned her neck to watch in curiosity. However, unlike Nethery, her gaze was on Jin Tong, who was crying as he sat on the ground.
“That boy is crying because he’s competing against Teacher Bu?” Xixi, who was hugging Nethery’s leg, looked at the latter in askance.
Nethery glanced at the sobbing Jin Tong, and her red lips parted slightly. “Just a kid. Xixi, you should not learn from that crybaby.”
Xixi nodded. Then, she turned her head to look at Jin Tong again with her big eyes.
Suddenly, she gathered her courage and yelled, “Xixi won’t act like that crybaby!”
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched when he heard this. He turned around and spotted Nethery and Xixi.
“Yeah. Very good, Xixi,” Bu Fang said.
Hearing Bu Fang’s praise, Xixi instantly tilted her head arrogantly.
She had to become a student that Teacher Bu would be proud of!
When Sister Ru heard what Bu Fang and the little girl said to each other, she felt as though her face had been slapped by Jin Tong.
Everything had been so smooth for Jin Tong. None of the Nine Revolution Clan’s Nether Chefs had dared to defeat him because of his status and ident.i.ty. But now, in the Immortal Cooking Realm, he was crying in his very first Chef’s Challenge.
Sister Ru felt so upset.
It seemed Jin Tong heard the little girl’s words as he stopped crying, and his neck immediately twitched.
Sniffing quietly, he turned to look at Xixi. “I’m not crying!”
“Shame! Shame! Teacher Bu made you cry, but you won’t admit it! Shame!” Xixi jeered, making a face at Jin Tong.
“I’m not crying! It’s… because it’s too spicy! He used chili to attack me!” Jin Tong stammered as he tried to defend himself.
Bu Fang glanced at him.
Spicy chili?
Kids today… Are they all as shameless as this kid?
“Xixi, don’t talk to him. Don’t let him affect you. All he does is cry,” Bu Fang said.
Xixi stuck her tongue out, mumbling something.
Jin Tong was alarmed. How could he lose face in front of a little girl?
That d.a.m.ned Immortal Chef!
Jin Tong stood up and grabbed his knife. He rolled his eyes at Bu Fang, tears and snot all over his face.
Bu Fang expressionlessly glanced at him. Then, he poured some oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
Sizzle!
The boiling oil sizzled, creating clouds of steam that left Jin Tong startled again.
Bu Fang then poured the golden oil in the wok into the blue-and-white porcelain plate.
A loud sizzling sound rang out.
“Boiled Beef… Done.”
Bu Fang exhaled gently. He took a step back and used a white cloth to wipe his hands. After that, he clasped his hands and looked at Jin Tong with interest.
“Done?!”
Jin Tong was bewildered. He instinctively looked at his stove station, which was only a mess now…
He then moved his gaze to the glowing Boiled Beef on Bu Fang’s stove. The feeling of defeat filled his heart.
“I…”
Jin Tong’s mouth trembled. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
He had lost. He was not even able to complete his dish.
Suddenly, Jin Tong screamed and burst into tears once more!
He had been defeated!
A tragic defeat!
He had been bullied! He wanted to cry!
Looking at the sobbing Jin Tong, Sister Ru’s mouth convulsed.
Young Master Jin Tong… are you f*cking made of water?
The onlookers exchanged looks. They didn’t know if they should cry or laugh.
Tong Wudi was dumbstruck. With an accusing look, he turned to Liu Mobai.
“Is that the trick you said that will kill Bu Fang? You invited someone here to do comedy?”
Tong Wudi was so angry. The flames of rage in his heart made his face go red!
“I…” Liu Mobai opened his mouth, but he himself was stunned speechless.
Did I summon a bunch of hilarious morons here?
The talented monster from the Nine Revolution Clan… had been bullied in a Chef’s Challenge until he cried.
It was heart-rending.
Liu Mobai remained silent. He didn’t want to talk.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dark clouds rolled and gathered above them.
It was Bu Fang’s lightning punishment.
When Jin Tong spotted the lightning punishment, he began to cry even harder.
A loud thunderclap reverberated. Then, a bolt of lightning crashed downward.
Whitey soared into the sky and began to devour the lightning punishment.
However, this lightning punishment was ordinary. In just a short time, Bu Fang had attracted three lightning punishments.
The lightning punishment was soon over. Whitey began to stagger, seemingly drunk.
Bu Fang had won this Chef’s Challenge.
However, this was the most awkward Chef’s Challenge he had ever had.
He didn’t feel the joy that a winner would feel. He only felt… awkward. He didn’t know if he should laugh.
It wasn’t fun to bully a kid.
Bu Fang decided then and there that he would not engage kids in Chef’s Challenges from now on.
Winning against them was not something to be proud of.
The G.o.d of Chef’s Challenge had proclaimed the winner.
Jin Tong, who was on the ground, began to cry even louder.
This was because two out of his three Hearts of Cooking Path had scattered…
From this Chef’s Challenge alone, he had reverted to how he was at the start.
His cries reverberated around the place.
The onlookers wanted to laugh, but they tried to hold back.
Xuanyuan Xiahui and Xuanyuan Xuan, too, didn’t know if they should laugh.
Their worry for Owner Bu wasn’t needed after all. Anyway, it was true that they didn’t worry about him. Owner Bu was a talented monster.
Taking the piping-hot Boiled Beef, Bu Fang frowned at Jin Tong, who was sobbing in the distance.
“Don’t cry!”
Bu Fang’s figure then disappeared and reappeared in front of Jin Tong, saying expressionlessly, “You have been defeated. Crying won’t do anything. What you need to think about now is how to become invincible.”
He placed the porcelain plate containing the Boiled Beef in front of Jin Tong. “Eat it and see why you lost.”
Jin Tong stopped crying. His eyes widened, looking at the radiant dish in front of him.
He had to say that the dish didn’t look attractive.
The chefs in the Dark Nether Cooking Realm didn’t really care about the appearance of their dishes. What they cared about were the taste and effect.
That’s why they called it Dark Delicacy.
Jin Tong had never seen this kind of food before. Hence, he was somewhat attracted to it.
His trembling hand grabbed the chopsticks, then picked up a slice of steaming beef.
The beef was hot and smelled so good.
Jin Tong wiped his nose and put the meat into his mouth.
As soon as the meat entered his mouth, he froze. A moment later, his face reddened.
Then, tears began to roll down his cheeks again.
The onlookers were speechless.
Why is he crying again?!
This time, Jin Tong did not really want to cry. He wasn’t being bullied either…
It’s just that the dish was too spicy.
The Boiled Beef was so spicy that it made him doubt his existence.
Jin Tong cried while chewing. Although the beef was too spicy, it was too delicious to stop eating.
1Gulp!
By the time he swallowed the meat, his lips were swollen red.
Bu Fang’s mouth twitched, speechless. Suddenly, he patted Jin Tong’s head.
A bundle of black flames immediately emerged, and he grabbed it.
“Losing the Chef’s Challenge… you know the consequence. But since you’re just a little kid, I will only take your flame… You can keep your other tools,” Bu Fang said.
Jin Tong raised his head, revealing his tear-glazed eyes.
The dish was too spicy, so he did not hear what Bu Fang had just told him. Hence, his expression was one of bewilderment.
Bu Fang shook his head. He opened his mouth and tossed the black flame into it, then chewed and swallowed it.
The jaws of the onlookers dropped, looking at Bu Fang in fright.
Sister Ru was so stunned, looking like she had just seen a ghost!
What did she just see?
Did that Immortal Chef really swallow Jin Tong’s flame?
It was to be expected that Jin Tong would lose his flame. However, what that chef had just eaten was a f*cking Nether flame, a flame with a very high temperature! How could he eat it just like that?
Is he a real monster?!
Bu Fang burped, exhaling white smoke. Then, he clasped his hands and walked back to the restaurant.
This battle didn’t give him any pressure, so he didn’t really mind it.
Jin Tong had tears all over his face as he sat on the ground, eating boiled beef.
The more he cried, the more he ate.
The onlookers did not know what to say.
Suddenly, a loud buzz rang out from above.
A figure was seen descending very fast, ripping the void in his way.
Boom!
The ground beneath him collapsed when he landed.
Realm Lord Di Tai’s sleek golden hair fluttered in the wind, the robe on his body billowing.
Hidden in the dark, Tong Wudi’s expression changed instantly.
“That’s the Realm Lord!”
Liu Mobai’s eyes shrank. Why did the Realm Lord show up at this critical moment?!
Realm Lord Di Tai seemed to feel something. He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the darkness.
He spotted Tong Wudi and Liu Mobai.
However, Realm Lord Di Tai didn’t mind them. His eyes eventually s.h.i.+fted to Bu Fang.
Looking at Realm Lord Di Tai, who looked as though he had experienced many vicissitudes, Bu Fang couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
He did not even perform his favorite art of nudity this time. It was clear that the great changes in the Immortal Cooking Realm had put a lot of pressure on the man.
Realm Lord Di Tai glanced at Bu Fang, then at Jin Tong, who was sobbing and eating the boiled beef.
His eyes narrowed, then turned around and walked towards the restaurant.
“Guards of the first layer, take these two from Nether Prison. After I’m done here, I’ll go and find you guys.”
After saying that, Realm Lord Di Tai entered the restaurant.
Gongshu Ban and the others, who were watching in the distance, were very scared. But they quickly snapped to their senses after hearing Realm Lord Di Tai’s order, hurriedly capturing Sister Ru and Jin Tong.
Tong Wudi’s face changed drastically. He turned around and fled.
As for Liu Mobai, he slipped into the darkness and hid.
However, the head of the Gongshu family had noticed them. He sent his guards over while chasing after the others.
“Little Bu Bu… Come, close the doors. There are some serious matters I wish to discuss with you.”
Bu Fang was bewildered, but he nodded anyway. Without a word, he returned to the restaurant and closed the doors.
As soon as Realm Lord Di Tai entered the restaurant, his body sank into a chair.
Seeing the Realm Lord’s grave expression, Bu Fang could sense the seriousness of the matter.
