Gourmet of Another World

Bu Fang never thought that what he casually said would come true—the once-powerful Titan Divine Dynasty seemed to have truly become a kingdom of Soul Demons. The mere thought of a divine dynasty where all its people had become Soul Demons was horrifying.

The Soul Demon was a terrible creature, but when a divine dynasty became a kingdom of Soul Demons, it was unbelievable for the entire Chaotic Universe. Moreover, they seemed to be invasive creatures. They were not born in the Chaotic Universe but from another universe.

The crown prince and the others were shivering as they looked at the scene in disbelief and horror. It was a nightmarish scene.

The Titan Divine Dynasty’s top experts, the Keepers of the Divine Temple, had all become the most terrifying Numbered Soul Demons. Not only them, but even the top pillars of the major clans and those incomparably fearsome God Kings had all turned into Soul Demons.

“What’s wrong with this world…”

The crown prince’s face was blank. He could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes. Not only him, but even those geniuses around him could not believe it as well. How were they going to believe it? What was happening was beyond common sense!

It was nothing when the guards sent by the Divine Emperor turned into Soul Demons, but when the experts and main pillars of the major clans also turned into Soul Demons, it was a little too terrifying!

In the Titan Divine Dynasty, the clans dominated everything. The whole divine dynasty was made up of clans, and the powerful clans held great prestige. Major clans such as the Tai Clan and the Zuo Clan had produced many mighty experts who had shaken the divine dynasty.

The sudden appearance of so many Soul Demons made Foxy shiver. She jumped on Bu Fang’s shoulder, stayed there, and would act as per his instruction.

Black smoke filled the entire sky. Countless experts kept gathering in midair, forming a large dark cloud that blocked out the sun. Among the geniuses around the crown prince, some of them did not believe all this, and they flew toward these experts like crazy.

“Dad! It’s me!” one genius roared madly. He did not want to die. If this was all an illusion, he would be able to survive. But… was it all really an illusion?

A clan expert with scarlet eyes shot over instantly. At some point, countless insect scales had spread over his arm, which then transformed into a scaly knife. With a tearing sound, the genius whose mind was about to collapse was cut in half in a flash.

A jet of crimson blood splashed in the air.

“My good boy… Hehehe…” The Soul Demon laughed icily. His face was stained with some of the blood, which made him look very evil. He stuck out his tongue to lick it. “If it hadn’t been for Soul Thirteen’s order, I would have swallowed you… You are constantly attracting me like a delicious dish!”

After the body of that genius was torn apart by the Soul Demon, his soul fled in a panic, but it was grabbed and stuffed into the mouth by the Soul Demon, who then chewed with an intoxicated look and burped with relish.

For a moment, all kinds of atmospheres—including cold, terrible, dark, and depressing—filled the air, making the minds of the geniuses on the verge of collapse. They had never encountered such a situation—their closest relatives had all turned into executioners, killing and devouring them.

“Soul Thirteen had wanted to raise pigs… Unfortunately, the arrival of this chef made him give up his plan because none of you are as important as him…” A clan chief laughed gruesomely. His body was completely covered with insect scales and was emitting black smoke.

The crown prince and the others became completely dumbfounded. ‘Soul Thirteen? Could it be that…’ They thought of something that made them more and more frightened. ‘Could that Soul Thirteen be…’

“Hehehe…”

Without giving these geniuses any time to think about it, those clan experts who had turned into Soul Demons flew over in an instant, approaching with monstrous killing intent. They were very excited and were grinning hideously as if they were looking at the most delicious food in the world.

The geniuses were already scared to the point of having a mental breakdown. They frantically fled in all directions, but such a move was exactly what those Soul Demons wanted. This allowed the creatures to kill and devour these geniuses one by one.

Weapons of insect scales—swords, knives, spears, and axes—swept across the sky one after another. All of them were extremely powerful, and some even contained divine power and the Power of Law from the clan experts, whose bodies had been occupied by the Soul Demons.

For a moment, miserable howls and shrieks filled the entire area around the Divine Temple as those geniuses died tragically one by one.

The crown prince’s mind was in a bit of a trance. He glanced at Bu Fang. Perhaps, apart from this chef, he was the only one who could remain calm at the moment. But no matter how calm he was, his mind was disturbed. However, he also knew that he could not run away blindly now.

The whole Titan Divine Dynasty had become the Soul Demon’s paradise. Even his father, the Titan Divine Emperor, was likely to have been… He dared not think further. But if that were true, perhaps the safest place to be was by this chef’s side.

‘His dishes have a restraining effect on these Soul Demons! A chef is really a noble profession!’

Bu Fang glanced sideways at the crown prince. He was somewhat surprised that the latter did not flee frantically like the other geniuses. He looked up. The evil scenes that were taking place around him brought a shock to his mind as well.

‘These Soul Demons… are really disgusting creatures. They see humans as food, but I can’t see them as ingredients… This is really infuriating!’

Blood stained the sky red. Countless experts slowly closed in, surrounding Bu Fang, the crown prince, and the little fox in the middle. At this moment, everyone was dead, and they were the only ones left.

The crown prince’s face turned pale. Those geniuses who were laughing and talking with him were now dead and had turned into tattered corpses scattered on the ground. He even saw black balls squirming and breathing in these corpses. Those were the embryos that would give birth to new Soul Demons.

‘These Soul Demons are multiplying really fast! Now it seems that… even hiding behind this chef is not very safe. There are so many Soul Demons here that no matter how fearsome and gifted he is, he will be killed by them soon…’

The crown prince closed his eyes in despair. ‘Perhaps… I will be the crown prince who dies the most tragic death in the whole Chaotic Universe…’

Bu Fang also had a headache about how to deal with these Soul Demons. ‘They are really disgusting and tough to defeat… I have to think of a way to deal with them…’

His eyes focused, then he landed on the ground and raised a hand. Energy began to gather in his palm and soon formed a wok. There was no doubt that he decided to continue cooking.

‘He wants to cook again?’ The crown prince’s eyes narrowed. ‘But this might be the only way to keep these Soul Demons at bay. The aroma of food has a suppressive effect on them and should be able to hold them back for a while,’ he thought to himself.

They could use this time to make the best decision.

“We can go into the Divine Temple…” the crown prince said suddenly.

Bu Fang glanced over his shoulder at him.

“The Divine Temple is a holy place in the Titan Divine Dynasty, and there are magic restrictions in it. These Soul Demons should not be able to enter it.”

“Even the Keepers of the Divine Temple have turned into Soul Demons. Do you still think they can’t get it?” Bu Fang asked, puzzled.

The crown prince paused for a moment, and then he continued, “Only those who have the imperial bloodline can enter the Divine Temple. We can hide in it and wait for His Majesty’s rescue…” He still held some hope in his heart.

Bu Fang looked at the solemn crown prince and was silent for a moment. That might be a way, but getting into the Divine Temple was also a difficult problem to solve. He shook his head and began to cook. The only thing that would save them now was cooking.

With a thought in his mind, he took out from the Heaven and Earth Farmland a clay pot that he treasured. It was very tightly sealed. After taking it out, he raised his hand and slapped it on the sealing clay.

The crown prince and Foxy came up to his side, looked at the clay pot, and inhaled deeply. They thought that since Bu Fang took out this clay pot at this critical moment, he must be confident that what it contained could suppress those Soul Demons. It was likely to be food that could give off the ultimate fragrance.

They breathed in deeply. Even if they were going to die soon, they wanted to be ghosts who died in the delicious aroma of food.

Bu Fang gave the crown prince a somewhat odd look. As the seal was slapped open, a plume of seemingly dark gas wafted out of it…

“Ugh?!” The crown prince’s face instantly turned black as a wisp of gas got into his nose and almost knocked him out to death! ‘What is that smell?!’ His face quickly turned blue while his stomach began to churn.

‘Shouldn’t he be bringing out extremely fragrant food? Why did it turn into something so stinky? What the hell was he thinking? The fragrance is what will suppress these Soul Demons! What could such a foul smell do?!’

Soon, the seal of the clay pot was completely removed. An extremely strong stench immediately spread in all directions. Surprisingly, not only did the surrounding Soul Demons not show disgust, but they were closing their eyes in intoxication and breathing deeply!

“Delicious!”

“It smells so damn good!”

All the Soul Demons were exclaiming.

“What is this?!” The crown prince could not stand the foul smell anymore. He held up his fingers and pinched his nose.

“It’s… stinky tofu,” Bu Fang said.

Even though he was the one closest to the stench, Bu Fang’s face remained the same. If he could not even handle the stench, how could he become the God of Cooking that tops the food chain in the fantasy world?

He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. With a shake of his hand, his divine sense surged. In front of him, the wok condensed by the energy was continuously emitting heat, and the golden oil inside was boiling.

The next moment, one by one, black tofu pieces coated with juice flew out of the clay pot and fell into the boiling oil like dumplings. Before long, the surface of this stinky tofu was covered with a layer of light gold…

“You… What are you trying to do?”

The crown prince found it useless to cover his nose, for the stench seemed to be able to penetrate deep into his soul. ‘What the f*ck… Am I going to die from the stench? Why isn’t this chef playing by the rules?!’

However, he felt that Bu Fang was not a fool to cook some kind of delicacy to satisfy these Soul Demons. ‘Could this stinky tofu contain something else?’ He narrowed his eyes.

The hot oil bubbled in the wok in front of Bu Fang, filling the air with a sweet melody. His face remained unchanged as he watched the stinky tofu roll in the oil. Foxy had long since fallen on his shoulder with the stench, belly up, looking like a dead fish.

“It’s ready…”

Bu Fang focused his eyes. He put one hand behind his back, then raised the other and flicked his fingers. A black-and-gold piece of stinky tofu suddenly jumped out of the wok and flew toward the sky.

The movements of the surrounding Soul Demons slowed down, while the scarlet pupils of the Soul Demons the two Keepers had turned into constricted. At this moment, all the Soul Demons’ eyes were fixed on that piece of stinky tofu.

It was human food, something that would make them feel sick. But why did it exude a temptation that they could hardly resist? It was as if Bu Fang had stripped off his clothes and stood naked in front of them. It was very tempting!

All the clan experts who had turned into Soul Demons were swallowing. Finally, they could no longer resist the temptation—they all frantically chased toward the piece of stinky tofu that was emitting hot steam.

One of the Soul Demons was very fast, perhaps because he was best at the Law related to movements. In just the blink of an eye, his insect-scaled palm had grabbed the piece of stinky tofu.

“Hehehe…” He laughed wildly. However, his laughter soon came to a complete stop. He glanced over his shoulder and saw a horde of Soul Demons closing in madly on him. Without hesitation, he hurriedly stuffed the stinky tofu into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed. Then, he opened his mouth and breathed out a puff of foul air…

The pure stench intoxicated them.

“Be patient… There’s one for everyone.” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched slightly while his fingers kept moving, as though he was playing the strings of a zither. As he moved, one stinky tofu after another jumped out of the wok, turned into beams of black-and-gold light, and shot toward the sky.

While all the Soul Demons were frantically grabbing the stinky tofu, the two Keepers did nothing. Their willpower was stronger, and they felt that the black-and-gold stinky tofu was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Suppressing their inner craving, they took a look at the Soul Demon who had already eaten a piece of the stinky tofu.

Suddenly, their scarlet pupils constricted. As they watched, the bodies of the Soul Demons who had eaten the stinky tofu all burst into silvery flames, which quickly burned them to ashes. However, even when they were being burned, their faces still remained intoxicated by the stench.

The crown prince was dumbfounded, while the surrounding Soul Demons were terrified.

This stinky tofu was poisonous!

Many Soul Demons tried to refuse the stinky tofu, but Bu Fang kept flicking his fingers and flinging more stinky tofu toward them!

To these Soul Demons, the stinky tofu was their death warrant. They wanted to refuse, but they could not resist the temptation. Their hearts said no, but their bodies were very honest…

Soon, one Soul Demon after another ate the stinky tofu and, with intoxicated expressions on their faces, were incinerated in the silver flame.

It was a very bizarre scene.
