Gourmet of Another World

An oppressive atmosphere pervaded the whole command room. Everyone was staring at the screen in front of them, not daring to breathe too loudly.

The five fighter jets they sent out were all blown up!

How unbelievable was it for one man to blow up five fighter jets? And yet, that was what just happened right in front of them. It had shocked them to the core!

“This is what happens when the spiritual energy is returned. Firearms no longer have the power to rule. If we don’t capture the spiritual energy sealing point, we can’t stand up to such people!”

The commanding officer took a deep breath and opened his eyes. His gaze sent a shudder through everyone.

“Launch the missile! Between that Hua man and us, only one shall remain standing at the end of the day!”

He slapped his hand on the table. It was the third time he did that today, and it might be the last time. It was a difficult decision to make because once they launched the missile, it meant that Sakura Island had openly declared war!

No one objected—no one dared to. All the officers in the room fell silent.

Soon, the order was passed down. The creaking of gears was heard coming from inside the frigate, while one of the missile launchers mounted on its side turned slowly, pointing in the direction where Jewel was at.

The commanding officer stepped out of the control room. Standing on the top of the frigate with his hands behind his back, he watched the missile launcher turn. His heart still skipped a beat at the thought of the young man blowing up each of the jets with a single punch.

‘What kind of human is that? I don’t believe he can stop a missile!’ His eyes grew hard.

The preparations were soon completed with the crew working in an orderly manner.

Beneath a fluttering flag, the commanding officer, dressed in a neat military uniform, waved the saber in his and shouted, “Fire!”

With a bang, the whole frigate shook violently. A bright, almost blinding jet of flame burst from the missile launcher, while ripples spread out across the ocean as a blast of air swept out in all directions. The next moment, a missile left the muzzle and shot into the sky with a thunderous sonic boom. Then, it aimed in the direction of Jewel, descending straight toward… Bu Fang!

Yamata no Orochi had given up all hope. Kusanagi no Tsurugi was his hidden weapon and his ultimate kill shot. He did not expect it to be caught between two fingers by the human in front of him.

‘Why? Why is this human so strong?!’

He wanted to roar, but he no longer had the chance.

Bu Fang put some force into his fingers. With a click, the sword, one of the three divine weapons of Sakura Island, was broken by him, cracked into pieces, and fell into the sea. Weapons of this grade were as fragile to him as biscuits. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Yamata no Orochi’s last head.

The giant snake was instantly petrified, then his head exploded and his body fell limp into the sea, slowly sinking to the bottom.

Bu Fang’s face was indifferent as if what he had just done was nothing more than a trivial matter. A huge piece of snake meat was floating over his palm. If he used it all to make snake soup, he thought there should be enough for everyone present.

“Yamata no Orochi is… dead? The mythical monster is… killed by that young man?!”

Xiao Ai was dumbfounded. ‘What kind of monster is this guy I’m following?!’

Yu Ge was thrilled, however. He clenched his fist, waved it in the air, and let out an excited roar. ‘Awesome! Senior is indeed formidable! That’s Yamata no Orochi, the famous monster… And yet Senior killed him as if he’s a mere reptile! It’s so cool just thinking about it!’

The monk on the cruise ship was shocked and could not quite believe what he just saw. However, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt his whole body relax. Now that the great snake was gone, all of them would be able to survive. The two Western superhumans’ tense muscles were also slightly relaxed.

However, just a short time after they relaxed, their bodies became tense again. They raised their heads incredulously and looked into the distance. There, an object that looked like a meteor was approaching at a great speed, and it appeared to be very bright and dazzling in the night!

“What is that?”

Many people came out of the cabin as they noticed that the fighter jets had been shot down, and the battle seemed to be over. The impact of what happened today on ordinary people was enormous as it was far beyond their imagination. They walked out with fear still in them, feeling lucky that they had survived the hopeless situation.

Everyone was looking up at the sky, where a glowing object was approaching.

“So beautiful… Is that a shooting star?”

“A shooting star? How come it’s falling toward us?”

“Good heavens! What the hell is that? Why do I have a bad feeling?”

Many people cried out in alarm. At the same time, the cruise ship’s siren sounded, blaring through the night and freezing all the people.

The monk’s expression changed drastically. “Dammit! Those lunatics… Do they really want to die? It’s a missile!”

“F*ck! A missile! Those crazy Sakura Islanders!”

Despair filled the hearts of all the superhumans. How could they not despair? They were superhumans, yes, but they were not gods. They were still mortals! Once the missile exploded, the terrible impact would be enough to kill everyone!

It would have been fine if Sakura had just sent fighter jets, but sending a missile was just too much. Once this news spread, Sakura Island would definitely be condemned by the whole world, and Hua would definitely not forgive it easily!

“A missile?!” Yu Ge was shocked. “Are those guys serious? Senior must have angered them to the verge of insanity! I can’t believe they actually launched a missile! Have they thought about the consequences?”

The next moment, his face turned very unsightly. “A missile… How could they send us a missile? It’s a weapon of war, a deadly firearm! If it falls, everyone here will die instantly! They’re really crazy!” He was at a loss of what to do now.

“Even Senior may not be able to stop a missile! An Earth Immortal is still a human being, so his physical body shouldn’t be able to resist the missile either, right? After all, Qi cultivators cultivate Qi, not the bodies… How is Senior going to resist it? Did so many people here survive Yamata no Orochi only to be killed by a missile?”

“Those f*cking bastards of Sakura Island!” The monk was furious.

Bu Fang turned his head slightly and saw the missile that was coming at him at great speed. His eyes narrowed slightly. “A missile?” He did not have an exact idea of how powerful it was, but he was not stupid. He would not let himself hit by it for no reason—it was tiring to defend against a missile.

Even as the missile fell whistling toward its target, tremendous pressure was closing in, causing many people to feel despair.

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his divine sense began to surge. Although it was suppressed and could only spread to ten meters around him, that was enough. He stood calmly in midair, while Foxy and Shrimpy sat on his shoulders, looking curiously at the missile that was flying toward them.

As the cruise ship Jewel was enveloped in despair, in the distant Sakura Island frigate, the commanding officer clutched his saber tightly, his eyes flashing with madness. Suddenly, his pupils constricted. Not only him, but everyone on the battleship was stunned.

In their incredulous eyes, the missile stopped! The missile that was supposed to fall and explode stopped for some unknown reason, no longer moving forward and did not explode. What happened?

The commanding officer growled at the men around him, but no one was able to give him a reasonable explanation. At this moment, only the people aboard the Jewel knew why the missile did not explode. The reason was simple. How was it going to explode when it did not fall at all?

A meter away from Bu Fang, the man-sized missile was floating in midair, bound by a supreme force. Bu Fang put his hands behind his back, his divine sense swirling around him, causing the missile to float in midair as if it had been frozen.

The next moment, he raised his hand and gave the missile a gentle tap. As if losing all its strength, the missile suddenly plunged straight to the sea and sank to the bottom.

A major crisis was thus… resolved.

The monk was dumbfounded, while everyone on the cruise ship was gasping violently. A few seconds later, the crowd erupted into a roar of excitement.

“Good heavens! Is that a miracle?! Is that a sign?!”

“It’s so cool! He stopped the missile!”

“He’s an Immortal, right? He must be an Immortal!”

After escaping death, the people cheered excitedly, and some even cried with joy.

Yu Ge was laughing, thinking that Bu Fang was indeed worthy of being called Senior by him. Xiao Ai, on the other hand, was smiling and wiping tears from her eyes. She thought she was going to die here.

It was over! It was finally over!

In the distance, helicopters were approaching. The Hua army had finally arrived, which meant that Sakura Island could not continue to attack them, because to do so would completely offend Hua. The tiny island nation would not dare to do that.

Bu Fang held the snake meat in one hand as his face grew cold. “A missile… Hah, interesting. Foxy,” he called.

The eyes of the little fox on his shoulder lit up. She stood up on her hind legs, holding Bu Fang’s ear with one little paw.

“What should we do when the enemy provokes us with a missile?” Bu Fang rubbed Foxy’s head and said expressionlessly.

Foxy’s eyes rolled, then she leaped from Bu Fang’s shoulder and stood in midair.

That gave the people pause. They did not understand what Bu Fang was going to do.

Bu Fang raised his hand and gave the little fox’s bottom a light pat. Her eyes widened instantly, and then her cheeks began to bulge, growing larger and larger…

All the people on the cruise ship looked on in confusion, wondering what the pet fox was going to do.

Burp!

Foxy opened her mouth and burped.

The corners of the people’s mouths twitched violently.

“What is this pet fox doing? Is it here to show us its cuteness?”

When they heard that, Xiao Ai and Yu Ge both twitched the corners of their mouths. That was a nine-tailed fox, an S-class spirit beast. How could she be here to show her cuteness? However, they also did not know what Bu Fang was going to do.

Rumble…

Suddenly, everyone’s expression changed because they felt a terrifying energy fluctuation begin to sweep out in all directions.

Foxy’s mouth began to emit a golden light, which grew brighter and brighter and spread further and further.

The crowd paused. They smelled a fragrance, which was… the fragrance of… meatballs.

“This aroma…”

Foxy opened her mouth. A beam of golden light shot out of it and sped into the distance in a flash, flying across the sky like a missile.

“There is a saying in Hua that courtesy demands reciprocity. Good luck,” Bu Fang said.

After spewing out the explosive meatball, Foxy stuck out her tongue and licked her lips with excitement.

The crowd did not understand what Bu Fang meant when he talked about reciprocity. Did he mean since Sakura Island sent him a missile, he needed to send one back? His pet fox, however, just spat its saliva. Did he take that as a missile?

They did not know whether to cry or laugh. It turned out that Immortals could also crack jokes.

On the Sakura Island battleship, the commanding officer was furiously scolding his men around him. He could not understand why the missile malfunctioned and failed to explode.

“Sir… Sir… What’s that?” Suddenly, an officer pointed to the sky in the distance. There was a light dot approaching from that direction.

The commanding officer turned and looked over. The thing was already flying close, and a strong smell of meatballs filled the air. He looked confused.

“Meatballs?!”

The other people on the ship were stunned as well.

Why was there a meatball falling from the sky? It was not large—about the same size as that of a normal meatball—but because it was so bright, it looked very eye-catching.

Looking at it, the commanding officer’s heart skipped a beat. He did not know why, but the meatball gave him the feeling that it was as powerful as a missile…

Finally, the meatball fell and… exploded instantly!
