Chapter 1617: I Want to Eat a Dragon!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mulberry had transformed into a Vermilion Bird shrouded by scarlet flames and was flying toward the distance at great speed. Perhaps she was afraid of Bu Fang, or she simply wanted to break free of the restriction—she flapped her wings and flew away as fast as she could.
Bu Fang had not forgotten what the Qilin had said. If he wished to wake Mulberry’s consciousness, he needed to conquer this woman. How was he going to do that? For a chef, there was no better way to conquer a person than with a dish!
The Vermilion Bird cried, flapped her wings, and rose higher and higher. Her flames stained the sky red and kept spreading. However, Bu Fang was faster than her. As she flew toward the coastline like a fireball and was over the Jewel, Bu Fang arrived before her with just two steps.
The ribbon of divine sense stretched out again and caught the Vermilion Bird. In fact, Mulberry’s strength was very strong. Bu Fang could sense that she was much stronger than Patriarch Penglai and the others. However, perhaps because of the bond between them, she dared not to attack him.
The Vermilion Bird was caught. Bound by the ribbon, she transformed back to Mulberry. Her fiery red hair tumbled down her back as she blinked her big eyes at Bu Fang, pursed her lips, and moaned. Now that she could not escape, she chose to play with coquetry. Of course, this trick did not work on Bu Fang.
Grabbing her, Bu Fang landed on the Jewel, then found some clothes and made her put them on. After that, he began to think of ways to conquer her.
He stood on the prow of the ship and looked into the distance. He seemed to sense the aura of the other Artifact Spirits. The other spiritual energy sealing points should have broken as well. ‘Now that the other sealing points are broken, I wonder where those God of Cooking Sets had gone to...’
Bu Fang took a deep breath and then exhaled. In any case, what he needed to do next was to find all the God of Cooking Sets. However, he felt a little headache. He wondered if the other Artifact Spirits also behaved like Mulberry?
‘Do I need to conquer the Black Turtle, the White Tiger, and Nicholas the Handsome Dragon as well? Ai... Why is it so difficult to be a chef?’
...
The air horn blared, and the cruise ship sailed across the sea at full speed. The colorful spiritual energy rain was still falling from the sky. The world seemed to transform under the washing of the rainwater. Dark clouds dotted the sky as loud thunderclaps kept ringing out of them. It was as though some almighty experts were descending.
The cruise ship had been sailing for a long time, and the people on board began to feel strange and even terrified...
Bu Fang was lounging on the deck. Mulberry sat next to him, still bound by the ribbon. She looked forlorn, and she blinked her big eyes at Bu Fang, continuing to attack him with coquetry. It was useless, but she never got tired of it.
Over the last few days, Bu Fang had cooked a few dishes to conquer her, but none of them worked.
“Senior!”
Suddenly, Yu Ge rushed out of the cabin in horror, followed by Chief Luo, Xiao Ai, and the captain of the Jewel, who was a foreigner with thick brows and large eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Bu Fang opened his sleepy eyes. He was a man who liked to seek silence in the midst of noise. To put it simply, he liked to be lazy. Even though he knew the world had changed significantly, he was still very calm.
All the people on the cruise ship had been nervous for a long time. Some of them could not even sleep for days.
“Earth... Earth seems to have... grown larger!” Yu Ge said as he looked at Bu Fang in horror.
“Oh?” Bu Fang gave him a puzzled look.
“Under normal conditions, we can reach the coast of Hua in one day, but we’ve been sailing for so long, and we haven’t seen the coast...” Yu Ge explained. He had a very bold assumption. “Earth must have grown larger, so our return journey has become much longer than before!”
He felt it hard to believe. How could Earth get bigger? What kind of concept was this?
“This is normal. The increase in the density of spiritual energy had caused the world to transform. The original Earth could not support so much spiritual energy, so after absorbing the energy, it begins to grow larger, expanding...” Bu Fang yawned. This was something very normal, and he thought they all knew about it.
“Earth is growing larger... larger...” Yu Ge was dumbfounded, while Chief Luo, the monk, and the others behind him sucked in their breaths.
The captain, on the other hand, looked worried. Now that Earth had grown larger, he knew that the ship’s fuel would not be enough for them to return to the port.
After learning his concern, Bu Fang came out with a solution. He gave Shrimpy’s head a gentle pat. The mantis shrimp jumped into the sea immediately, and after some time, a huge whale leaped out of the water, spitting water through the hole on the top of its head.
Under Shrimpy’s command, it pulled the Jewel and swam toward the coast at top speed. For the very first time, the people on board witnessed how a huge cruise ship flew across the sea like a racing car.
...
Soon, they reached the port. After getting off the Jewel, Bu Fang left with Mulberry without saying goodbye to anyone. Yu Ge and the others took deep breaths as they watched him leave.
Once ashore, Chief Luo immediately contacted the headquarters of the State Supernatural Agency to learn about the changes of the world, while Yu Ge rushed back to the Immortal Island of Penglai. They all knew that something major was about to happen on Earth.
...
Bu Fang was walking in the street. The feeling was more obvious when he was in the city. The roads were wider, and the distance between houses had extended. It was as if the ground was stretched longer like rubber.
These were the changes brought by the recovery of spiritual energy. However, their impact on society was minor. The streets were still packed with pedestrians who looked busy and nervous. Most people were still working to earn their living.
Bu Fang raised his brows as he looked at Mulberry, who followed him at his elbow. He thought if he wanted to conquer her, he would need to offer her what she was hankering after.
“What do you like to eat?” he asked.
“Yee...” Mulberry put on a cute face and blinked at him.
“Do you like vegetables or meat?” Bu Fang asked again.
“Yee...”
“Since you are a bird, do you like to eat worms?” Bu Fang said after thinking for a while.
“Yee...” Mulberry still blinked her big eyes.
Twitching the corner of his mouth, Bu Fang lifted his hand and gave her forehead a tap with his knuckle. “Speak like a human being,” he said expressionlessly.
Mulberry’s face froze. “I want to eat a dragon!” She finally spoke. Her voice was still Mulberry’s voice that Bu Fang was familiar with.
“A dragon? You want to eat Nicholas the Handsome Dragon? What’s the bad blood between you two?” Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. “You are both Artifact Spirits. Why do you want to make things difficult for each other?”
Mulberry rolled her eyes.
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. He understood what she meant. Since she wanted to eat a dragon, he would find one for her.
...
On an island surrounded by an immortal aura, Patriarch Penglai was looking at the sky with excitement. There were a few old men in fluttering robes waiting beside him.
“The spiritual energy sealing point in Siberia is occupied by the forces of the Western Church, and a black wok was found in there...” said a red-faced old man in a somewhat helpless tone. He had failed in the struggle of that sealing point.
“A black wok? That’s nothing... I saw a stove in the spiritual energy sealing point in the Dead Sea! A f*cking stove!” said another old man.
“I don’t understand. Why are the treasures found in the sealing points all cooking utensils? Could it be that an Immortal Emperor who loved to cook sealed his cooking utensils there?”
The few old men were talking. Suddenly, the altar before them began to glow. Patriarch Penglai and those around him became excited, and they all fixed their eyes on it.
“The Immortals are returning!”
All the Qi cultivators on the Immortal Island of Penglai knelt to welcome the beings that were about to emerge from the altar.
Rumbling filled the sky as a colorful light began to shine through the clouds. The next moment, the light turned into a rainbow bridge with one of its ends seemingly connected to a chaotic world. None of the Qi cultivators on the island dared to look up at that world.
“Welcome back, Your Excellencies!” All the disciples on the island cried out respectfully.
On the rainbow bridge, silver bells chimed and immortal tunes were being played, while here and there, bunches of beautiful flowers could be seen. Through them, fairies clad in gorgeous dresses walked out in two rows, sprinkling petals as they came forth.
The middle of the bridge was enveloped by auspicious clouds, and one poised Immortal after another drifted out over them. They came in all kinds of appearance: some carried a sword, some clutched a knife, and some held a horsetail whisk. One Immortal was riding a leopard, and the one beside him had a tiny pagoda floating over his palm.
All kinds of Immortals walked out from one end of the rainbow bridge!
Patriarch Penglai was extremely excited. Many Immortals were beings in myths and legends, but they all appeared right before him now!
After those Immortals got off the rainbow bridge, they stood on either side as if they were holding an immortal court. At this moment, an old man clad in a black brocade robe embroidered with golden patterns flew out of the bridge, sitting on an auspicious cloud. A golden ring of light floated behind his back.
“Welcome back, Sect Leader...”
When he saw the supreme being, Patriarch Penglai became even more excited, and he bowed his head deeply.
...
Meanwhile, in the west...
There was a temple on the top of a great mountain. Before it, seawater churned and condensed into a figure. Holding his trident, Poseidon fixed his eyes on the lightning-filled sky with a hopeful look on his face.
Soon, a rainbow bridge emerged where he fixed his eyes, and out of it came many barefooted Gods, each shining blindingly while emanating a mighty aura.
“The Gods have returned!” Poseidon was extremely excited.
A thunderclap rang out. Then, a handsome figure walked down from the bridge, stepping on lightning bolts.
...
At this moment, all kinds of Gods and Immortals were descending in every corner of the world, while various strange creatures and beings were crawling out from those huge black holes. If scholars who studied ancient myths were there to witness, they would be able to recognize that these creatures and beings were Gods found in myths and legends of different countries.
The arrival of these Gods and Immortals made the spiritual energy on Earth richer still, but at the same time, it became very restless as well.
The living beings on Earth respectfully welcomed these Gods, and they looked forward to the divine decree that would follow after the arrival. However, to everyone’s surprise, the first words of these Gods were all about the treasures that appeared in the spiritual energy sealing points.
The Gods had decreed them to seize those divine artifacts that sealed Earth’s spiritual energy at all costs. When the news spread, the whole Earth was boiling again.
...
Bu Fang had no idea that the God of Cooking Sets had become the targets of the Gods and Immortals who just descended on Earth. At this moment, he was thinking about how to find a dragon.
Mulberry’s taste was a little bit hardcore—she wanted to eat dragon meat. However, the dragon meat in the System’s storage space had already been used up, and since Bu Fang could not open the Heaven and Earth Farmland, he could not get the top-grade dragon meat in there.
So, Bu Fang could only look for a dragon on Earth and make it into a dish. But how to find one was a tricky problem.
It was already late at night. The sky was dark, with only the moon glowing faintly. As Bu Fang walked, he suddenly stopped and looked up. A colorful light suddenly emerged in the sky over the city, illuminating a large area.
The people in the city broke out into an uproar, while Bu Fang gave a surprised cry under his breath.
Soon, one figure after another could be seen descending from the light, who were surrounded by an immortal aura and wheeling phoenixes and silver dragons.
“Oh? Silver dragons?” Bu Fang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
