“The news is not so good… Does Mister Bu still want to know?” Luo Sanniang stared at Bu Fang and said seriously.
Bu Fang could feel that she was not joking, so his eyes became sharp immediately. ‘If the news is not so good, it only means bad news… Could it be that something happened to Lord Dog and the others?’ he thought to himself. Fixing his eyes on Luo Sanniang, he signaled her to continue.
When Luo Sanniang saw the look on his face, she knew that he wanted to know the news. She sighed softly, furrowed her beautiful brows, and said, “Mister Bu, you asked me to look for a dog and two people, right?”
Bu Fang nodded with a solemn face.
“The whereabouts of the dog is unknown. We can’t find anything about it. But… we found the two people…”
It was obvious that the bad news was about those two people.
“They… They have some conflicts with the Mo Family,” Luo Sanniang stared at Bu Fang.
“There are three top families in the Divine Dynasty… the Luo Family, the Mo Family, and the Zhao Family. The last one is where Zhao Wuhen comes from. Although this guy is good for nothing, his family is very powerful. The Luo Family… is my family, and we do have some status here. As for the Mo Family… It’s the most ferocious family of the three,” she explained.
Bu Fang nodded, wondering what this had to do with Nethery and the others.
“I’ve told you that many heirs of the aristocratic families are geniuses, but… The fact is, apart from heirs, these families also have many stupid and crazy people. They’re not as talented as the heirs, but they’re also pursuing ultimate power. Your friends were taken away by a madman like this from the Mo Family…”
Luo Sanniang sighed. She was well aware that the people who were taken away by that crazy guy of the Mo Family usually come to a bad end, so she felt sorry for Bu Fang’s friends.
Bu Fang’s face grew cold. “Where is the Mo Family?” he asked in an indifferent voice. He did not want to say too much. He had to save Nethery and Er Ha.
Lord Dog’s whereabouts were unknown, so Bu Fang put him aside temporarily. Now that he had learned where Nethery and Er Ha were, how could he not do anything? Besides, Nethery’s ident.i.ty was very special, and Mu Hongzi had already warned him about that. He just never thought that he would be separated from them as soon as they arrived in the Divine Dynasty.
“Do you really want to intervene? Your friends… I’ve nothing to say about that man, but the girl is a Cursed G.o.ddess, and the Power of Curse in her had broken out completely. Now that she’s taken by the Mo Family, I’m afraid that she’s in danger,” Luo Sanniang said, frowning.
“Tell me where the Mo Family is…” Bu Fang insisted, his face expressionless.
Luo Sanniang could hear the determination in his voice. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. Bu Fang might not know the terror of the Mo Family, but even her family did not wish to fight them. The people of the Mo Family were too crazy. What made them so terrifying was not their talent, but their will to become stronger.
“Is that girl so important that you’re willing to offend the Mo Family for her?” She relaxed her eyebrows and looked at him.
Bu Fang’s eyes flickered like the stars in the night sky. He glanced at her, took a deep breath, and said seriously, “Because they’re my friends…”
Luo Sanniang shuddered, and she could only nod. “Alright, I understand now.” The next moment, she rubbed her forehead with a hand and said, “You’re a real pain in the neck… You’ve just caused trouble in King Pingyang’s residence, and now you’re going to do it again in the Mo Family… You’ll get yourself killed in the Divine Dynasty sooner or later for being so insolent,” she said helplessly.
The experts behind her were her friends. With her status, she could easily call upon a group of friends to support Bu Fang’s restaurant. However, Bu Fang was going to the Mo Family now, so she could not let them stay here. She apologized to them and sent them away.
Bu Fang closed the doors and boarded Luo Sanniang’s luxury wars.h.i.+p. On the first day of its opening, the restaurant, which was set up in the capital of the Divine Dynasty, closed the doors without doing any business.
The atmosphere in the wars.h.i.+p was somewhat heavy. Luo Sanniang did not say anything but just focused on driving. The vehicle sped across the sky over the city, tearing through the air.
Some time later, the wars.h.i.+p rumbled and shook slightly, then it stopped and landed on the ground. They were on a huge square where wars.h.i.+ps belonging to the aristocratic families docked. In the capital, a wars.h.i.+p was a means of transportation and also a symbol of status. The heir of every aristocratic family would have his own luxury wars.h.i.+p.
Bu Fang stepped out of the wars.h.i.+p and followed after Luo Sanniang. They left the square, walked for a while, and came to a mansion. Its front door was splendidly decorated.
“The Mo Family.” Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the plaque hanging above the door. “So my friends are in here?” he asked, taking a deep breath.
Luo Sanniang nodded. “There’s a banquet at the Mo Family today, which is held because of your friend… Every time the Mo Family did something crazy, they would have a grand banquet to create a sense of ritual. Many people in the capital hated that, but since it’s held by the Mo Family, they would still attend to show their respect.
“Also, I have another not-so-good news for you…”
Luo Sanniang looked at Bu Fang and continued, “The fifth prince of the Divine Dynasty is also in the Mo Family, and he has taken a liking to that girl. After the Mo Family devoured her Curse Power, he will bring her back to the palace…”
“What do you mean?” Bu Fang frowned, and his face grew darker.
“The fifth prince is a notorious lecher in the capital. What I mean is… Your friend’s fate is not going to be good. Of course, if you wish to save her, you will have to fight both the Mo Family and the fifth prince,” Luo Sanniang said with a bitter smile.
She thought that Bu Fang was out of his mind. Saving someone in this situation was basically a death sentence. She did not know where he found his confidence. It was true that he had defeated the young master, but the latter was just a DemiG.o.d.
Although Bu Fang was a talented, almost freakish DemiG.o.d, a mid-grade G.o.d could have easily killed him, not to mention that the Mo Family was guarded by many high-grade G.o.ds. The moment he stepped through this front door, he was dead. That was why Luo Sanniang could not understand why he must do this.
Bu Fang understood her. She was, after all, from the Luo Family, and she could not get herself involved too much in this. So he did not ask her to accompany him.
“After I get them out, I need you to take us away with your wars.h.i.+p… Can the Divine Chef Temple protect me?” Bu Fang asked seriously.
Luo Sanniang nodded. Bu Fang would be absolutely safe in the Divine Chef Temple. That was the only thing she could do for him.
“Good. Wait for me,” Bu Fang said. After that, he clasped his hands behind his back, turned around, and stepped through the front door of the Mo Family.
Luo Sanniang sighed as she watched him leave. She suddenly regretted it. By telling him the news, she might have killed him. Perhaps she should have kept the secret from the start. This gift for the opening of his restaurant was really inauspicious. However, things had already happened, and she could not change anything.
…
Clad in his striped red-and-white Vermilion Robe, Bu Fang walked slowly into the Mo Family. His face was calm, his pace steady. He knew that Er Ha and Nethery were in danger, but since the Mo Family was holding a banquet to create a sense of ritual, they should not deprive Nethery of her Curse Power so soon.
If she lost the Curse Power, Nethery would certainly become extremely weak, and she might even die. Bu Fang could not let that happen.
There were many people in the residence. Some of them were n.o.bles, while others were heirs of the aristocratic families. They toasted, talked, and laughed as the rich aroma of wine and food filled the air.
Bu Fang was not conspicuous among these people. After all, he was clad in a chef’s robe, so many guests thought he was just a chef in the Mo Family. Of course, some of them were experts who went to King Pingyang’s residence, so they would find him familiar. However, none could recognize him at a glance.
Bu Fang kept his head low. He was here to save his friends, and it would be difficult for him to do it if he attracted too much attention. Besides, he did not intend to use force from the start. Luo Sanniang had said that the Mo Family was guarded by high-grade G.o.ds. Although he could fight a mid-grade G.o.d, he would be crushed by a high-grade G.o.d.
He walked among the crowd. Soon, he came to the backyard. It was so much quieter here, a better place for him to carry out his rescue mission. Most importantly, he needed to find out Nethery and Er Ha’s exact location.
Bu Fang dared not to use his divine sense, fearing that it would attract the others’ attention. Frowning, he became lost in thought. All of a sudden, his ears twitched. With his current strength, his hearing and eyesight had improved significantly, so it was very easy for him to listen or see something.
Not far away from him, several maids were discussing something in seemingly shy voices. Bu Fang listened carefully and found that they were talking about a man, a man who was very handsome…
‘Handsome?’ Bu Fang arched his brows slightly as a strange expression came over his face. ‘A handsome man?’
Silently, he followed after a maid, who was gorgeously dressed. She came to a small building in the Mo Family, where a group of maids had already gathered in front of the door.
These maids had melon seeds in their hands, and they were peering through the door, giggling and pus.h.i.+ng at each other from time to time.
“My lady, I heard that the Mo Family is holding a banquet today. Do they serve spicy strips? Can you bring one to me?”
“What? You don’t know what a spicy strip is? Well, it’s a thin, long delicacy you put into your mouth and suck…”
“Ouch! My lady, bring me a spicy strip, and I will elope with you! I mean it! I swear on my honor! I never lie!”
…
Bu Fang’s ears twitched again. What he heard gave him pause because he found the voice somewhat familiar. He arched his eyebrow.
‘Er Ha? With such a crazy craving for spicy strips, there’s probably no one but him. The once n.o.ble Nether King is now reduced to sweet-talking and hoodwinking a group of ignorant maids? What about his moral integrity?’
Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. He was thinking about how to find Er Ha, but before he did anything, he had already found this fellow. He suddenly hesitated whether to save this guy or not.…
