Gourmet of Another World

‘Are the teams of God Kings now so unconcerned about quality? It’s unbelievable that a Demigod can join that team…’

When the mid-grade God saw the usually proud low-grade God King grin from ear to ear and hold out a hand to the Demigod, his mouth dropped open and the soul-crunching grass between his lips fell to the ground.

‘Even if they’re looking for cannon fodder, they should at least find a better one, right?!’

However, the God was left with only shock. As for why Bu Fang was able to join that God King’s team, this might become a question that could never be solved in his mind.

Bu Fang saw an acquaintance. He didn’t expect to meet Summer here, who had left the Divine Chef Temple and come to the ancient Heavengod’s relic before him.

It was because of her that joining the team became so easy. Summer didn’t say much to the team about her reasons for letting him join. She just told them that he was a chef from the Divine Chef Temple and was very good at cooking supplementary food.

When the experts of the team heard that, their eyes lit up. The so-called supplementary chef was equivalent to the role of a nurse, who was very crucial to a team.

Summer used to cook them some supplementary food, but she was not a professional after all. Now that a professional chef wanted to join them, the God Kings naturally welcomed him. In the relic, chefs from the Divine Chef Temple had always been very popular, even if he was only a Demigod chef…

“Welcome aboard,” the leading God King said to Bu Fang with a gentle smile. He was a handsome mid-grade God King with a pair of gleaming eyes.

Bu Fang nodded and then glanced at Summer. He was surprised to meet her here.

“Let’s go, we’re in a hurry…”

Summer wasn’t surprised, though. Many things had happened in the relic recently, causing the probability of Heavengod’s bones and Heavengod’s blood appearing to become much higher. Given such an opportunity, Bu Fang’s presence here wasn’t surprising. After all, the surge in the probability also meant that more and more people would flock to the relic.

“Good. Little brother Bu, you will follow behind us. You don’t have to participate in battles and just need to provide us supplementary food. The chefs at the Divine Chef Temple are always reliable in their cooking,” the man said with a smile that was as warm as the spring breeze.

The group wasted no time and set off straight away, leaving the assembly point and heading toward the distance.

This was a group with five God Kings, and Bu Fang became the sixth member. The combination of five God Kings and a Demigod was somewhat… strange. Two of them were mid-grade God Kings, and the other three low-grade God Kings. Their overall strength was very strong, not weaker than the emissary group of the Titan Divine Dynasty.

There were many adventurers in the relic. Some experts spent their whole lives wandering here to become the strongest existences, so it led to quite a lot of God Kings here.

The main reason was that there were many resources in the relic. Many of the treasures left behind by the ancient Heavengods, such as Heavengod’s bones and Heavengod’s blood, were of great benefit to cultivation.

“Summer doesn’t need to be introduced since you already know each other. These three are brothers, each with the strength of a low-grade God King and possessing secret techniques. Together, they can fight a mid-grade God King,” the man said with a gentle smile.

“I’m Tian Qiu, a cultivator from the Tian Family. We are one of the top aristocratic families of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty,” the man said as they walked.

Bu Fang nodded.

When Tian Qiu had finished speaking, he turned to look at Summer and gave her a warm smile. “It’s rare for our team to be able to invite Your Highness to join us. I’m sure that the rewards of this trip will be bountiful.”

This man loved to smile. However, Summer wasn’t very interested in his smile. She turned her head away and was too lazy to pay him any mind.

Soon, they left the assembly point and came outside the city. Tian Qiu waved his hand. A rumble rang out immediately, and then a warship appeared in front of them.

The warship looked quite fierce when compared with those in the capital. Drawn with peculiar runes, its outer shell was full of sharp edges and muzzles.

“This is a combat-type warship, and my family made it just for me,” Tian Qiu introduced, smiling.

The Tian Family was a very powerful warship supplier in the divine dynasty’s capital, and its strength was not much weaker than that of the Zhao and Luo Families.

Rumble!

Bu Fang and the others climbed onto the warship. Under Tian Qiu’s control, the warship roared and sped away into the distance, its tail spurting a jet of hot air. In just the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely.

Bu Fang sat cross-legged in the warship without saying a word. He could feel the contempt of the others for him, including Tian Qiu, the man who kept smiling. He wasn’t surprised. After all, he was just a Demigod.

Of course, he didn’t feel that from Summer, who was aware of his background. He had thought that she had gone to look for Mu Hongzi, but it turned out that she was still in the relic.

Rumble!

The warship sped away, flying at high speed through the relic.

The location of the assembly point was at the navel of the Heavengod’s body. The higher you went up, the closer you were to the danger zone. From the heart to the neck was considered the danger zone.

This warship was of excellent quality. At the very least, it flew very fast. Everything around it was disappearing at a rapid pace. During the flight, Bu Fang saw many strange warships. Each of them was covered with marks left behind by the battles they had fought, the pride of a warship.

“We have now passed the safe zone and are entering the danger zone. Hold on tight. It’s not safe here even in a warship. Many sky spirit beasts will attack warships,” said Tian Qiu, his face becoming more serious.

Summer curled her lips and looked out of the window. She had always been so indifferent. Outside the warship, the gloomy sky was passing by at a constant speed, and white clouds could be seen floating in the sky.

“Our destination this time is a forbidden land. According to the information I’ve received, there’s a good chance that a Heavengod’s bone can be found there…” Tian Qiu said to everyone while concentrating on steering the warship.

The warship rumbled through the air, flying past over a gigantic tree, from which a terrifying beast roar could be heard.

“That forbidden land is located at the top of the danger zone, near the head. The head area is very scary, and even with the strength of our team, entering it would risk total annihilation. So you have to cooperate with me later, especially little brother Bu. You don’t want to run around. Just stay at the back of the team and supply us,” Tian Qiu reminded.

Bu Fang nodded. He thought the man was very noisy.

Rumble!

Finally, the warship stopped flying and hovering in midair. With a clang, its cabin door opened. The team walked out from it, all fully armed.

Without saying a word, the three brothers jumped down after stepping out of the cabin and smashed into the ground like meteorites, kicking up a cloud of dust.

“Do not use divine power at high altitude because it will attract the attention of flying beasts. It’s common knowledge to use your physical body to land after getting out of the warship,” Tian Qiu said.

Summer and Bu Fang also landed without causing much of a shock.

Tian Qiu also descended to the ground after he had put away the warship. He walked in the forefront and led Bu Fang and the others into a dense forest according to the information he had received.

The spiritual energy in the forest was so dense that it almost condensed into water droplets. Bu Fang even saw crystals of spiritual energy on some of the leaves. The energy here was much stronger than in his Heaven and Earth Farmland.

Along the way, he would observe the plants around him. Whenever he saw some spirit fruits, he would put them into the farmland.

For such things that were not out of the ordinary, Tian Qiu naturally wouldn’t say anything. He only took it as the habit of a chef.

They kept going until it was dark. The forest at night was beautiful, with all kinds of plants blooming into colorful light. But beneath this beautiful scenery lay a terrible crisis. No one dared to relax—all raised their guards to the highest level. Even Bu Fang was getting nervous.

“Let’s camp here and rest. We will continue our march tomorrow. This place is not far from the forbidden land, but we’re not in a hurry to get there. Let’s adjust our forms first,” Tian Qiu said.

The others didn’t say anything but sat down directly on the ground. For these experts, they did not need to set up tents or something like that. All they had to do was find a clean rock to rest.

It was Bu Fang’s favorite time of day again. He glanced at the crowd, then turned and walked into the woods. He returned a short while later, holding a spirit beast in his hand.

He skillfully removed the fur and skinned the spirit beast, and then began to roast it. Various spices were sprinkled, and the fragrance filled the air.

At some point, Summer had come up to his side, staring at the fire and the barbecue.

Tian Qiu frowned, but he didn’t say anything. He just looked at the sky and seemed to be worried about something.

When the dish was done, Summer impatiently grabbed half of it, squatted to one side, and began eating it. The meat was tender and juicy, and she ate it voraciously.

It was a long time since she had eaten such delicious food. Although she was the deputy of the Divine Chef Temple, her cooking skills were not very good. After all, she was not a chef. And ever since she ate the food Bu Fang cooked, she was completely captivated. This was probably one reason why she chose to bring him along.

The fragrance filled the air. Tian Qiu and the others looked embarrassed as their stomachs began to rumble uncontrollably. However, they didn’t know Bu Fang very well and were too embarrassed to ask for food.

The three brothers’ faces were cold, and they snorted. In their opinion, since Bu Fang accepted their protection, he should provide them food.

Bu Fang, of course, did not bother to pay attention to the three brothers. He grabbed the meat and ate it with great pleasure.

The spirit beast was a little bit like a rabbit. Because it had been living in the woods with rich spiritual energy, its meat was very tender, melting in his mouth like tofu. Its legs were a little chewier than the tender meat, which added to the deliciousness.

Bu Fang and Summer ate happily, throwing one bone after another on the ground.

The three brothers were boiling with rage, but they didn’t say anything. After all, Summer was here. If she hadn’t been here, they would have slapped Bu Fang. He was just a Demigod, and they had killed countless Demigods.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. Tian Qiu and the others frowned and got up to their feet.

“A savage monster is coming!” Tian Qiu shouted. The next moment, his aura began to surge, and it made the rustling sound grow even louder.

With a rumble, a dark shadow flew from afar at lightning speed!

“It’s a low-grade Blood Beast King!” Tian Qiu cried out as he raised his hand and threw out a punch, his bones making a popping sound.

Rumble!

Surrounded by the terrifying Power of Law, his fist struck the Blood Beast, causing it to collapse in the distance and break several large trees.

Rumble!

The three brothers also jumped up in an instant. They stared coldly at Bu Fang and said, “You damn thing! You’ve attracted the attention of the Blood Beast and exposed us! People like you don’t deserve to be on our team!”

Summer rose to her feet with a cold look on her stunning face.

‘They’re blaming Bu Fang? This is ridiculous. The scent of food will not attract a fierce beast like the Blood Beast. At best, its attention will be drawn by some ordinary spirit beasts.

‘Moreover, Blood Beast Kings already have their own will, and the only thing that will attract them is something related to the Heavengods. It’s too much for them to blame Bu Fang without properly assessing the situation.’

“It looks like we don’t have time to rest now,” Tian Qiu said after knocking the Blood Beast away with one move. “Let’s move on and enter the forbidden land tonight. I can feel that many Blood Beasts are coming toward us.”

He gave Bu Fang a deep, meaningful look, then continued, “I’ll let this one go. But if you cause conflict in the team next time, I’ll definitely kill you. Remember, you’re only a Demigod. If it weren’t for Summer, what are you?” His tone was somewhat grim and stern.

After saying that, he turned into a stream of light and sped into the depths of the woods.

The three brothers smiled coldly as they stared at Bu Fang, while Summer furrowed her brows.

Bu Fang spat out the bone in his mouth and twitched the corner of his mouth.

“He’s really skilled in the technique of shifting the blame… But I’m not that easy to make a scapegoat for,” Bu Fang said faintly.

He and Summer looked at each other, then they rushed out at the same time, heading deeper into the woods.

There was a price to pay for making Bu Fang a scapegoat.
