Chapter 1383 Bu Fang“s Expectation of Lord Dog

Tian Cang, Yellow Spring Great Sage, and the others squinted at Bu Fang. They could feel that the vigorous energy in him was different from an ordinary Great Saint. The lightning punishment he was bathing in was too strong, and it had strengthened his flesh, giving him physical strength that was way mightier than those of the same level as him.

At that moment, his body seemed to turn into a bell. The blood and energy in him surged and crashed like waves, producing a rumbling sound that was deafening to the ear.

Bu Fang waved a hand, and a beam of light immediately shot out of the kitchen. It was a dish, flas.h.i.+ng with colorful light and glowing like flames and roseate clouds as it hovered over his hand.

When people glanced at it more carefully, they found that it was actually a fish, which looked alive and seemed about to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth and jump into a fish pond. Had it not been for the steam rising from its body, people might have taken it for a live fish.

Chunks of flesh curled up and embedded its body like exquisite emerald gems, all identical in size and color. The fish head was separated from the body, and the mouth was opened with faint steam rising from it.

Some people were shocked, while others suddenly understood something. Looking at the dish, they realized that Owner Bu was transcending its lightning punishment just now.

It was an unusual dish. People could feel the incredible charm that emanated from it, which made them want to taste the fish. They were attracted just by looking at it.

“How fragrant! It smells so delicious!”

“I want to taste it! I’m willing to give up everything to taste it…”

“I just need a bite!”

Everyone went crazy, and some people’s mouths began to water. They had just looked at the Sweet and Sour Fish in Bu Fang’s hand, and they could hardly restrain the desire in their hearts. It was as if their minds had been controlled by the dish, which was a feeling impossible to describe with words.

Bu Fang was slightly taken aback by the situation. As he had broken through to a Perfected Great Saint, he could feel the strange energy contained in the dish. Even though he was a Great Saint now, he dared not touch and taste this energy so easily. Maybe only Lord Dog could taste it.

When he looked at the dish, the fish, which had been cooked, seemed to come back to life. He saw its eyes roll and stare at him. That made his hair stand on end, and he sucked in a cold breath. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and glanced at it again, but this time, it was normal. He was certain that the fish had come back to life just now.

‘Had it become a… demon?’ Bu Fang thought to himself.

“Owner Bu… Let me try it! I have the money! I’m very rich!”

“I’m willing to exchange all my wealth for a piece of fish… Just one piece…”

“Owner Bu, you are the most handsome man in the world! I will give you sons!”

Down below, the experts of Yellow Spring City all went crazy. The fragrance of the Sweet and Sour Fish spread throughout the entire city and attracted everyone to the street, and the people were kneeling and shouting with excitement.

The shouting and yelling gave Bu Fang a headache and made him furrow his brows.

“This dish is… extraordinary!” said Lord Dog, who was lying at the door with his tongue stuck out.

With Foxy in her arms, Nethery gave Lord Dog a puzzled look. “What makes it extraordinary?” she asked. She did not find anything unusual about it. Instead, she was desperate for a bite of the fish. The dish was full of charm, just like the Three-cup Divine Chicken she had tasted.

“Bu Fang boy’s dish seems to have… its own consciousness!” Lord Dog said in his gentle and magnetic voice.

“It has consciousness? How’s that possible… How could a dish have it?” Nethery said incredulously as her pupils constricted. In her opinion, when a food ingredient was made into a dish, it was dead, and there was no way that it could still have consciousness.

“I can’t explain… In any case, none of you can eat this dish,” Lord Dog said. “Only I can eat it.”

“Why…” Nethery gave him another puzzled look.

“Because…” Lord Dog glanced at her, the fat on his face seemingly trembling. “You are all too weak…”

That rendered Nethery speechless. ‘Lord Dog, you have changed… You were never a poser…’

Buzz…

The lightning punishment lingering around Bu Fang scattered and disappeared. His face grew solemn, and he slowly stepped down from the sky. The gravel on the ground cracked as he landed on them. As he glanced at the almost crazy crowd—at the faces covered with desire, the bloodshot eyes, and the drool that dripped from the corners of their mouths—he furrowed his brows. He faced a group of people who had virtually gone insane.

“Owner Bu!”

Some could not bear it any longer, and they rushed toward Bu Fang like madmen. All that remained in their eyes was the dish in his hand.

Frowning, Bu Fang unleashed his mental force, which had recovered to its peak, turning it into a vigorous power and sending it out in all directions.

Buzz…

Those experts crazily rus.h.i.+ng toward him immediately knelt on the ground and could no longer move. Their eyes shot with blood as they struggled to get up on their feet.

Bu Fang took a deep breath. He knew that all these strange behaviors must have something to do with the dish in his hand.

“You are just a dish, and yet you still want to stir up trouble?” he said lightly, glancing at the Sweet and Sour Fish in his hand.

Sure enough, he saw the fish’s eyes roll again. The corners of his mouth curved slightly into what looked like a sneer. He put one hand behind his back, then walked toward Yellow Spring Little Restaurant.

Even then, the group of people who were pressed on the ground by Bu Fang’s divine will finally got up to their feet, and they all crazily rushed toward the little restaurant again. However, they heard a crash, and then the restaurant door was closed in front of them with a thud.

The sound seemed to wake them up. They stopped running and glanced at each other with blank faces. A few moments later, they all sucked in their breaths. They were all Little Saints, and yet they were unknowingly enchanted by someone? At the thought of that, they felt their hair stand on end.

The restaurant was ablaze with lights. Bu Fang put one hand behind his back and held the dish with the other hand.

Lord Dog, Nethery, Tian Cang, Er Ha, and the others gathered around and fixed their eyes at him. Some of them were curious, some puzzled. They saw what happened outside. While they were shocked by those people’s crazy behaviors, their hearts also seemed to be surging with desire.

Er Ha was holding a spicy strip between his lips, but it seemed to be tasteless at this moment. “This dish…” He tried to say something, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bu Fang.

“You cannot eat this dish. In fact, no one except Lord Dog can eat it,” Bu Fang said.

“Why?!” Er Ha was upset in an instant. ‘Lord Dog is already so fat… He should stop eating! Why can’t he have some compa.s.sion for us who are thin?!’ he thought to himself.

“It’s because of the energy in this dish, right?” Tian Cang asked, looking at Bu Fang. He was more sensible than his son.

Bu Fang nodded. The dish seemed ordinary, but as the second dish in the G.o.d of Cooking’s Menu and a dish that almost got him killed, it was not ordinary at all. The surging energy in it was not something that an ordinary Great Saint could withstand. After all, it was a dish that had depleted his divine will.

Bu Fang’s divine will was extraordinary. Before he made the breakthrough, it had already reached the second realm, which was a realm far beyond that of an ordinary Great Saint and not weaker than that of an average Nine-revolution Great Saint.

Despite that, it was still depleted. Had it not been for his special spirit sea, which could constantly nourish his divine will, he might have been completely drained.

Simply put, this dish was extraordinary.

“I’m not convinced!” Er Ha was not happy. A delicious meal was right in front of him, but he could not taste it and could only watch a dog eat it. Who could stand this? It was so cruel!

Bu Fang glanced at Er Ha. The corner of his mouth curved upward, and he said, “Well, eat it then. If you have the courage, I’ll let you eat it…”

Then, he brought the Sweet and Sour Fish in front of Er Ha. A rich aroma spread, while wisps of hot steam rose from the dish.

Er Ha paused, then he glanced at the Sweet and Sour Fish. He seemed a little unconvinced. The next moment, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and thrust them toward the fish.

However, as he approached, an unknown fear suddenly burst out in his heart, which made him feel very tiny. As the feeling washed over him, his hand began to shake, and then the chopsticks fell from his grip and dropped to the ground.

“I…” Er Ha opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he found that he did not know what to say. In the end, he just sighed and sat in a corner with a gloomy face and the spicy strip dangling from his lips. He would not admit that he was terrified by a dish.

Tian Cang and the others smiled, but none of them said anything.

Bu Fang pushed the dish in front of Lord Dog.

Lord Dog wagged his tail, leaped up to the table, and walked around the Sweet and Sour Fish with his cat-like-steps.

“Then I’ll dig in…” he said to Bu Fang and the others, raising a cute paw and licking his lips.

Bu Fang nodded.

Without hesitation, Lord Dog buried his head into the plate and began to eat the fish.

“Aye, aye, aye…” When the gloomy Er Ha turned his head and saw the way Lord Dog ate, with his muzzle buried into the plate and his tail wagging happily, the Nether King felt somewhat disgusted. ‘How could he give such a delicious dish to a dog…’

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. He could see that when Lord Dog opened and closed his jaws, the fish went into his mouth quickly.

The people in the restaurant licked their lips as they watched. They were really attracted by the fish.

The fish was crispy outside and juicy inside. The combination of sweet and sour gravy and the fragrant fish greatly satisfied Lord Dog. “It’s… It’s delicious! As delicious as… Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs!” he mumbled as he continued to eat, wagging his tail.

Buzz…

Soon, the crowd sensed the strange energy gus.h.i.+ng out of the dish, which contained a hint of divinity.

Nethery’s eyes lit up. It was the same energy in the Three-cup Chicken she ate before, which had suppressed the curse in her and even made it fuse with her body, resulting in the rapid improvement of her cultivation base and elevating her to a Nine-revolution Great Saint.

The fish Lord Dog was eating and the Three-cup Chicken she ate before should be the same kind of dishes!

Nethery looked at Bu Fang from the side, and she could feel that he was hoping to see something. That gave her pause, but she quickly realized what he was hoping.

The fish was a dish from the G.o.d of Cooking’s Menu that Bu Fang cooked with all his might. It was extremely delicious, and its effect would be remarkable as well.

Bu Fang was hoping to see Lord Dog’s transformation after he ate the Sweet and Sour Fish. Would he make a breakthrough in his cultivation base? Would he become a G.o.d? Bu Fang was eager to find out.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes lit up. Lord Dog had finished the whole Sweet and Sour Fish. The three divine will flowers also quietly faded away after the fish was finished.

The next moment, everyone’s pupils constricted as they fixed their eyes at Lord Dog. Just now, an extremely fearsome aura burst out of his body!
