Chapter 1567: The Crown Princess… Xiao Yanyu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the veil fell, a sad face was revealed before Bu Fang. She was undoubtedly a beautiful girl, and the sad look on her face gave her a touch of cla.s.sic elegance from a bygone era.
The familiar face took Bu Fang slightly aback because she was… Xiao Xiaolong’s elder sister.
Yes, this girl who had comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe—the crown princess who had been hidden for a long time by the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty and the one who was called the hope of all mankind—was none other than Bu Fang’s old acquaintance, Xiao Yanyu.
It was a name that had not appeared for a long time. If it were not for Bu Fang’s excellent memory, he probably could not remember it now.
Xiao Yanyu was a very gentle, weak, and stubborn girl. Bu Fang never expected that he would meet her here. It was amazing how fate could bring people together in the strangest place.
Roar!
The demon dragon roared wildly, and a terrifying aura erupted from its body, towering into the sky. It was so powerful that even the stars seemed to be scattered by it.
Ah Mo’s face was ashen. Having completely broken free of the Dragon Valley, the demon dragon before them was almost as formidable as a G.o.d Emperor. How could she and the crown princess resist such an invincible being?
What angered her the most was that… the crown princess had been seriously injured trying to protect her. How could she explain this to the Empress?
The blood-stained veil seemed to float in the starry sky with a never-ending poignancy. Xiao Yanyu’s eyes were somewhat blurry, her Wheels of Law were crumbling, and her body was so badly wounded that she looked like a withered flower. It was clear that she had exhausted all her strength to fend off the dragon’s blow.
She was not Bu Fang, who could almost defy heavens with only a few Laws. Although she had also comprehended four supreme Laws, she did not possess an almost boundless spirit sea like Bu Fang.
Bu Fang’s brows furrowed slightly. With a thought in his mind, he sped forward.
The demon dragon’s huge eyes glowed scarlet. It had long since lost the previous Dragon Emperor’s might, and what was left in it was… unmatched savageness! With its mouth open and its sharp fangs bared, it was going to swallow Xiao Yanyu.
To any Soul Demon, a human genius who had comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe was a rare delicacy! Therefore, this demon dragon would not miss the opportunity to taste such a rare treat!
However, a lean figure suddenly appeared in front of it. Then, with a loud rumble, its enormous body stopped moving abruptly. It seemed like a great force was blocking it from going further.
Bu Fang raised his Taotie Arm and pressed it against the dragon’s nose. In front of the behemoth, he looked as small as a speck of dust, but it was this tiny speck of dust that held back the dragon’s advance.
The demon dragon roared again. The severely injured human genius was about to fall into its jaws, and it could not miss such a rare opportunity!
“GET LOST!”
It opened its mouth and breathed out a puff of air, trying to blow Bu Fang away.
Bu Fang’s Vermilion Robe flapped noisily as he kept his hand on the dragon’s nose, making it impossible for the monster to move even an inch.
At this point, Ah Mo steadied herself and flew over, holding the injured Xiao Yanyu in her arms. “Your Highness… You shouldn’t do this…” she sighed with a complex expression.
She felt really guilty that she had allowed a genius who would become the hope of all mankind to fend off an attack for her. But what shocked her even more was the chef. She raised her head and looked at Bu Fang, who had held the dragon back with only one hand in the distance…
After realizing that it had lost the best opportunity to enjoy the rare delicacy, the demon dragon instantly vented all its anger on Bu Fang. It let out a furious roar, then opened its mouth wide and spewed out a jet of fire. It wanted to burn Bu Fang to death on the spot!
‘This is a Dragon Emperor! Although the Dragon Valley has already declined and is no longer as powerful as the Phoenix Nest, and the Dragon Emperor is not as strong as the Lord of Phoenix, it is still considered a half-emperor level existence…’ Ah Mo thought to herself. ‘Why is this DemiG.o.d able to resist it with his bare hands? How in the world did he manage to do that?’
She was filled with mixed feelings. Even though she did not understand why Bu Fang had been able to fend off the demon dragon, she was grateful that he had saved the crown princess and her.
“Foul demon!” Bu Fang scowled as he looked at the demon dragon that was going berserk.
Accompanied by a b.e.s.t.i.a.l roar, the Yin and Yang energy appeared around his Taotie Arm. Then, he raised it and punched the dragon on the head. A tremendous force erupted from the blow, slamming the dragon’s huge head downward and causing the jet of flame that was aimed at Bu Fang to deviate from its course.
The body of the dragon was like that of a serpent, but it had dragon claws. So, by just writhing like a serpent, it quickly stabilized itself and soared up again, spewing another jet of fire at Bu Fang. The scorching heat from the flame instantly distorted the void.
In the face of this terrifying dragon’s breath, Bu Fang did not flinch. He was never afraid of anyone when it came to playing with fire. With a thought, a small silver flame suddenly emerged over his palm.
The little silver flame pulsated and burned quietly, forming a peculiar wave that spread out in front of him. The next moment, the dragon fire came, but as it approached Bu Fang, it parted in the middle and spread out on either side of him…
The dragon’s breath could not even touch Bu Fang.
It was a… shocking scene. Ah Mo was dumbfounded as she watched.
‘I can’t believe this DemiG.o.d is actually so… gifted! It turns out that there really are geniuses like him who don’t follow the norm in the world… Fortunately, Her Highness is superbly talented and has comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe. I don’t think anyone could suppress her!’ Ah Mo took a deep breath.
In the distance, Bu Fang did not stand still for long.
Upon noticing that its dragon’s breath was useless to Bu Fang, the demon dragon lunged straight at him. At the same time, Bu Fang walked up into the air, taking one step at a time, and came standing on the dragon’s back.
A strong wind began to blow as the dragon writhed and twisted in midair, making all kinds of violent movements to throw Bu Fang off its back.
Frowning, Bu Fang reached out a hand and grabbed the ladle hanging at his waist, then thrust it toward the dragon’s head.
‘Ladle! It’s that ladle again!’ Ah Mo took a deep breath. ‘That ladle is very effective against Soul Demons, but does it work on dragons too?’
The black ladle seemed to be absorbing the light around it—any light that came near it was immediately absorbed. Grabbing it by the handle, Bu Fang gently tapped the dragon on the head. The blow might seem a light one, but it contained a horrible force.
The demon dragon wailed at once. With a boom, its huge body suddenly plunged straight down and smashed into the Dragon Valley with a crash, causing a huge plume of smoke and dust to rise. Even the Dragon Valley seemed to have been broken in half by it.
It was a terrifying scene!
In the distance, Nethery’s cursed snake had completely wrapped itself around the two Soul Demons and was slowly corroding their bodies. Before long, their flesh was completely corroded…
Two smoke-like, black Soul Demon true forms suddenly rose into the sky, roaring as they tried to flee the place. They realized that they had completely failed in their mission this time.
However, just as they were rising into the sky, a great suction force suddenly came from the Dragon Valley. This caused the two Soul Demons’ expressions to change dramatically. They wanted to fly away, but no matter how desperately they struggled, they could not get rid of the suction force and kept getting sucked over.
Bu Fang stepped on the demon dragon’s back. He had just knocked it out when a suction force erupted from the ladle, pulling over the true forms of the two Soul Demons Nethery had killed.
‘It seems that the Qilin… likes to eat these Soul Demons very much. Maybe he is their real nemesis, instead of stinky tofu…’
He glanced at the unconscious demon dragon at his feet. Without the ladle, he had no idea how many attacks he would have to use to achieve this. After all, this was an Emperor-level Soul Demon.
‘Sure enough… with this ladle, I’m invincible!’
Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. With a shake of his hand, he took out the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. While the dragon was unconscious, he was going to subdue it completely. A beam of golden light flashed as the kitchen knife sliced through the void and made a straight cut on the dragon’s back!
With a ripping sound, blood gushed out like a fountain as Bu Fang quickly pulled a golden tendon out of the cut. The sharp pain woke up the dragon, and the Soul Demon who had possessed it was trembling with fear inside.
The next moment, under the control of Bu Fang’s divine sense, the silver Divine flame transformed into a Gourmet Array, and then he pressed it hard into the dragon’s wound.
“Gourmet Array, Imprison!”
The demon dragon kept roaring, struggling, and rolling. With its tendon removed, however, this Emperor-level divine dragon was left with less than one-tenth of its original strength. It wanted to self-detonate, but the array had sealed the Soul Demon’s true form in the flesh as well.
The Soul Demon was boiling with rage. ‘What is this human trying to do to me?!’ He was happy when he took possession of the Dragon Emperor’s body, and even happier when he broke the seal that the Dragon Emperor had placed on the body before his death. But now, he was not happy at all…
Instead, he wanted to cry. He wanted to run away and return to his mother’s arms…
Nethery, Foxy, Ah Mo, and the crown princess looked over in confusion at the same time. They were also curious about what Bu Fang wanted to do with the dragon. Why did he not kill the Soul Demon? It was useless to keep such an evil existence.
Ah Mo did not think quite like the others. She hated the Soul Demon so much that she felt strangely excited when she saw Bu Fang remove the dragon’s tendon and seal it with an array.
“Don’t do anything stupid!” When Bu Fang had done everything, he slapped the dragon on the head.
Pak!
The Soul Demon was grief-stricken. ‘What the h.e.l.l does this human want to do to me?!’
In the Dragon Valley that had turned into ruins, Bu Fang leaped down from the dragon’s back and landed on the ground. With hands clasped behind his back, he looked indifferently at the huge dragon before him. The Soul Demon’s aura had already been infused with the dragon’s flesh, so he was curious about what kind of dragon meat it would produce.
‘I’d better put it in the Heaven and Earth Farmland first… I’ll go there and get the meat when I need it,’ he thought to himself.
With a wave of his hand, the huge demon dragon was put into the farmland.
…
The Heaven and Earth Farmland was extremely vast now. Niu Hansan was lying comfortably in front of the wooden hut, feeling the warm breeze in the air with a relaxed look on his face.
Suddenly, the sky shook, and then a huge figure fell and smashed on the ground with a loud rumble, causing the whole world to tremble.
The group of apprentice chefs discussing cooking skills in front of the wooden hut were taken aback.
“Brother Niu, Owner Bu must have caught a new ingredient!” Xiao Xiaolong shouted to Niu Hansan as he looked at the behemoth that smashed to the ground in excitement.
The group of people immediately rushed toward the location where the demon dragon had landed. However, before they got close, they already felt tremendous pressure, which almost made them suffocate. It was the aura of an Emperor-level existence.
Xiao Xiaolong and the others had improved a lot by cultivating in the farmland, but they had not even touched the DemiG.o.d realm, let alone the Emperor realm. So, only Niu Hansan knew how terrifying the ingredient Bu Fang had thrown in this time was!
The dragon was still alive, and it was panting with its mouth open.
Niu Hansan was shocked. ‘What exactly did Owner Bu do to this… dragon?!’
…
Bu Fang felt satisfied after he had put away the demon dragon. ‘This is an Emperor-level ingredient… It’s an ingredient that I wouldn’t even dare to think about in normal times…’
Meanwhile, Ah Mo flew over with Xiao Yanyu, who was seriously injured. “Thank you for your help…” She held the crown princess tightly as if she was afraid of what Bu Fang might do to her.
Bu Fang glanced at her and twitched his mouth. Then, after briefly looking at Xiao Yanyu, he took out an oyster pancake with a shake of his hand. This was a modified and enhanced version of the oyster pancake that not only had healing effects but could also nourish one’s divine sense.
“Give her this,” said Bu Fang.
Ah Mo took the oyster pancake and narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Her Highness is the chosen daughter of heaven, a genius who has comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe. She is the hope of all mankind, and I cannot let her eat something strange that you just pulled out from nowhere.”
Although Bu Fang had saved them, she dared not let the crown princess eat what he gave her. Only heaven knew if he was up to no good and coveted the crown princess’s beauty.
Bu Fang rolled his eyes. He really did not want to talk to this idiotic woman. “She has comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe? What a coincidence! Me too! But I’m not the hope of all mankind. I’m just a chef…
“Besides, two crown princes are working in my restaurant now. So to me, the so-called heaven’s chosen daughter is bulls.h.i.+t.
“And, one last thing… Xiao Yanyu grew up eating my dishes. Now, are you still afraid that the oyster pancake is poisonous?”
Bu Fang squinted at Ah Mo and spoke in a steady voice as if he was stating a fact.
Ah Mo’s face froze.
Just then, the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s wars.h.i.+ps approached from a distance. Gold Armor and his Gold Armor Guard had finally arrived. Unfortunately, the battle here was already over.
Ah Mo was still hesitant. Now that the experts of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty were here, did she want to believe the chef’s words or not?
Suddenly, Bu Fang frowned and turned his head to look into the distance.
There, the pale bone wars.h.i.+p floating in the starry sky abruptly exploded! The next moment, a silvery light burst from the exploded wars.h.i.+p while a dreadful aura spread through the air, causing everyone’s heart and soul to start trembling.
Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the silvery light.
“Soul Thirteen?”
