Chapter 1689: Here’s an Emerald Hat for You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Er Ha wrapped himself tightly in a black robe as he walked slowly down a broad street. The road ahead of him was extremely dangerous and difficult, but he never gave up, for he was looking for the true love in his heart. Yes, his true love!
He was too weak in the Chaos s.p.a.ce. He wanted to improve his cultivation base, but he was already rising very fast.
He had thought of asking Bu Fang to help him, but after considering it carefully, he abandoned the idea. It was already good enough for Bu Fang to bring him to the Chaos s.p.a.ce. He would take care of the rest on his own—many things could not be helped by others.
The road led him to a vast city, the one outside the Temple of HeavenG.o.d Transmigration.
After entering it, Er Ha pulled the robe tighter around him, then took out a spicy strip and shoved it into his mouth. He spent some time sucking it. The tingling feeling and the taste it left on his lips and tongue deeply intoxicated him.
When he had finished, he began to search for his beloved girl. He fell in with the crowd and kept walking. Soon, he put on a smile on his face and asked some strangers about her.
Many people simply rolled their eyes at him. As someone with a bad temper, he would never allow himself to suffer such treatment. If he was not here to look for his beloved, he would have made a scene.
As others looked at him with disgust and disdain, Er Ha went about the city, stopping now and then to ask some strangers about his lover.
The people in this city, however, were extremely arrogant. They looked down on his strength and did not take him seriously at all. He was even chased by a pair of G.o.d Kings for several streets, who were the parents of a child, for he used a spicy strip to get the child talking…
He was mentally and physically exhausted. However, whenever he thought of her, he was full of energy again.
With a spicy strip dangling between his lips, he walked down a long, dark street. He did not know where the street led, but he knew that there was hope in the distance.
The city was very dangerous. When Er Ha just arrived at the Chaos s.p.a.ce, he and Bu Fang had been chased for a long time. Therefore, he knew very well that once his ident.i.ty was exposed, he would be killed instantly.
Leaning his back against the wall in a corner, Er Ha exhaled wearily. With a trembling hand, he took out a spicy strip and put it between his lips.
Suddenly, he froze. He sensed a familiar aura, which made his heart tremble violently. The next moment, his whole body began to shake.
“It’s her!”
Er Ha was elated. He recognized that aura—he would never make a mistake even if she turned into ashes. She was the daughter of HeavenG.o.d Transmigration, and he had slept with her!
He locked onto the location where her aura came from and began running toward it. His steps were light, for the joy in his heart filled him with energy.
Finally, Er Ha saw her, the girl he had been missing for a very long time. He was panting for breath. With his strength, he should not be panting, but at this moment, the excitement in him made him out of breath.
However, what he saw next made the excitement on his face gradually fade.
Wrapped in a black robe, Er Ha fixed his eyes on a girl in the distance. She was beautiful with a gallant demeanor, but she was accompanied by a handsome man, who put his hand on her hip as they stepped into a magnificent mansion together.
Er Ha was confused. The intimate interaction between them struck him like lightning. ‘Who is that guy?!’
He sped forward. He wanted to rush into the mansion, find her, and ask her. He did not want to shout, for he was scared that he would disturb her. However, he was stopped by the G.o.d Kings guarding the doors.
“I know her!” Er Ha said in a loud, hurried voice.
“You know Her Ladys.h.i.+p? Don’t make us laugh… Her Ladys.h.i.+p is the daughter of the HeavenG.o.d and the wife of the ancient HeavenG.o.d of our clan. Who do you think you are? What makes you think you qualify to know Her Ladys.h.i.+p?”
The two G.o.d Kings sneered. Then, their aura exploded out, and they knocked Er Ha flying away.
Er Ha was dumbfounded. A deafening rumble was ringing in his ears. She had married someone? How is that even possible?!
“You’re lying!”
He rolled and sprung to his feet. A violent look came into his eyes, and his aura exploded out. He could no longer control himself. His black robe was torn, revealing his handsome face.
However, he was too weak. Soon, he was pressed on the ground, and the two guards kept beating him. He fought with whatever strength he had. He could not accept such a harsh truth.
Suddenly, a gentle voice ordered the guards to stop.
Er Ha struggled to his feet. His eyes were red. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, and his aura was fluctuating violently. He looked up at the girl, who seemed to sway in the sunlight.
The girl’s eyes were cold as she glanced at Er Ha, and the gaze instantly took all the color from his face. A piercing pain stabbed through his heart, which was even more overwhelming than all the physical pain combined.
‘I, Er Ha, got dumped by a girl?!’
“Spare his life and drive him out of the city,” the girl said indifferently and sighed. Her tone was calm.
The two guards nodded.
At this moment, the handsome man walked up from behind her and put his hand around her waist. “So this is the lover you left behind in the mortal world during your training?” He chuckled.
“I’m surprised that he could come to the Chaos s.p.a.ce. I clearly saw Father slap him to death,” the girl said indifferently. “Spare his life.”
With a complicated look on her face, the girl glanced at the miserable Er Ha, then turned and left. Her departure was as if she had stabbed Er Ha hard in the chest.
After she was gone, the man’s face grew cold, and he said cruelly, “Spare his life? Haha… Drag his man away and kill him, then throw his soul into the Transmigration so that he will never be reborn. How dare he touch my girl… This is the price he has to pay.”
Er Ha was trembling all over as if he was struck by lightning. The girl’s ruthlessness woke him up like a bucket of icy cold water pouring down his head. He was… dumped!
‘She truly is HeavenG.o.d Transmigration’s daughter…’
His face was somewhat gloomy. The man’s words made him laugh at himself. He lowered his head with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, and his shoulders began to shake as he burst into hysterical laughter.
Then, he lifted a trembling hand. Covered in blood, the slender fingers held a spicy strip. He put it between his lips, laughing.
“You are about to die. Why are you still laughing?” the man said coldly.
Er Ha leaned against a wall and bent his body forward slightly. “Why am I still laughing? Don’t you already know the answer? How is the hat I’ve woven for you? Do you find it comfortable?” [1]1
He sucked the spicy strip. The enchanting taste seemed to soothe the pain in his heart. ‘In the end, Bu Fang is the best…’
The faces of the two guards became somewhat strange when they heard that. “A… hat? It seems that there really is something between them…”
The man flared up instantly. “You’re courting death! You will suffer for this!”
…
Lord Dog, lying on the floor, suddenly jerked up his head and glanced around with a blank look on his face. Then, he glanced over his shoulder. The stone door behind him was still closed. As for what had happened behind it, he did not know.
“Hopefully, Bu Fang boy can complete the dish… The feeling of unease has been getting stronger lately…” Lord Dog muttered. After that, he lay back on the floor, yawned, and scratched his nose with a paw.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, then his face grew grave. “What is this idiot doing?” He sniffed. A fierce look came into his eyes as he tore the void with a paw and stepped into it.
…
On the other side of the stone door, Bu Fang sat cross-legged on the floor. He was building up his emotion. This was the most important aspect in this level of cooking, for it would affect its success rate.
Various ingredients floated around him. The G.o.d of Cooking Sets and the Artifact Spirits had appeared as well, hovering in midair. A terrifying aura filled the entire chamber.
When he was ready, Bu Fang took out an arm. It belonged to Pride Great Soul Overlord. Fully covered in scales that glinted coldly, the arm emanated a dreadful aura.
It was the meat of a Great Soul Overlord. In other words, it was a Chaotic-Saint-level ingredient. Such an ingredient was extremely precious.
In addition to the arm, the ingredients that Bu Fang had spent years collecting floated around him. They were just supplements that could help him cook the Great Soul Overlord meat better.
The light on his forehead grew brighter and brighter. Through his G.o.d of Cooking’s Eye, he saw thousands of tiny light dots on the arm.
The next moment, the Gold Dragon let out a deafening roar and flew past the arm. In just a flash, the arm was cut into numerous pieces of equal size.
In fact, Bu Fang had no idea what he was going to cook. Each of the over one thousand simulated cookings had produced a different dish, and he did not think that this actual cooking could produce the dish in his mind.
He began to cook according to the recipe. Whether it was the knife techniques, the carving techniques, the strength of stir-frying, or the temperature of the flame, he followed exactly as the recipe says. For a moment, he was absorbed into a profound state of mind.
…
Er Ha flew backward, coughing blood as his body smashed the ground. A terrible force weighed on him as if to crush his bones. However, no amount of physical pain could match the pain in his heart.
“Make him suffer! Pull his soul out of his body and throw it into the Transmigration! I want him to experience the most terrifying pain!”
The man’s face looked savage. He did not know what she had done in the lower realms, but the expression of the guy in front of him annoyed him greatly.
The two guards were tired from beating Er Ha. Meanwhile, the whole city was stirred—the loud noises had attracted the attention of many. How could people not be attracted when an ancient HeavenG.o.d was beating a mere G.o.d so openly?
Er Ha was in a trance. He was beginning to wonder if he had made a wrong decision by asking Bu Fang to bring him to the Chaos s.p.a.ce. He had knelt in the relics of ancient HeavenG.o.ds for a very long time, and for what?
His body seemed to be on the verge of breaking apart. He took several steps back in a row. An excruciating pain spread through him, but he made no sound. A spicy strip was tightly held between his teeth. He would not let it fall to the ground. He could bleed and even lose his head, but he could not lose the spicy strip!
At last, he snapped to his senses. He realized that the girl was not worthy of him. He had missed too many spicy strips during the days when he lost all desire for food and drink as a result of thinking of her.
With his awakening, a shocking life force exploded out of him. He was like a c.o.c.kroach that could never be killed. He rolled and sprung to his feet, holding the spicy strip between his lips, and sped toward the distance.
“Here’s an emerald hat for you! You don’t have to thank me!” Er Ha did not forget to throw out a mocking remark before leaving.
Even a blow from HeavenG.o.d Transmigration could not kill him, much less these G.o.d Kings. With the Law of Life flowing in him, Er Ha bolted away, full of life and energy, his loud voice ringing in the city.
The man was so furious that his face grew dark. “You’re courting death!” He could no longer bear it. As an ancient HeavenG.o.d, he would not allow himself to suffer such an insult!
The power of the Law of Time surged and spread, sealing the surrounding void in an instant. A monstrous aura erupted from the man as he reached out a hand to grab Er Ha. He would not allow the fellow to run away! He wanted to torture this d.a.m.n fellow!
Suddenly, the man’s pupils constricted because the void in front of him trembled, and then his blow was dispersed by a horrible force. The next moment, the void rippled, and a dog paw emerged before the d.a.m.n fellow, slapping toward his palm.
Rumble!
The man’s expression changed dramatically, for he found that his Law of Time crumbled instantly under the paw! At this moment, the whole city broke out into an uproar!
With an icy cold face, the man stared at the black dog that walked out of the void. “HeavenG.o.d Time?”
