Gourmet of Another World

1132 I Feel Young Again!

Boom!

As soon as a thunderclap sounded, everyone in Goddess City began to panic.

Goddess City hadn’t experienced any thunder for many years!

The crowd looked up with fear on their faces, thinking that the world was about to end.

Chef Jing Yuan was also stunned. She raised her head and looked at the dark clouds gathering above, her heart shaking.

“What… What’s happening?”

Chef Jing Yuan’s eyes continued to look around. Then, she looked at Bu Fang in the distance. Seeing his calm appearance, she could not help but express shock.

Are the clouds gathering because of his dish?

If that’s the case, then that dish… How extraordinary is it?

Chi Si, Lin Damei, and some others also narrowed their eyes. They frowned as they looked at the lightning punishment in the sky.

Bu Fang was naturally no stranger to lightning punishments.

In the Immortal Cooking Realm, almost every dish he cooked had to face the lightning punishment, and it was something that one must endure as an Immortal Chef.

Just as plum blossoms endured and grew in the bitter cold, dishes need to be honed and baptized by lightning if they want to be perfected.

Buzz…

Suddenly, something appeared beside Bu Fang.

Whitey’s figure rose to the sky, its mechanical eyes twinkling.

After calling out Whitey, Bu Fang no longer bothered with the lightning punishment. His eyes returned to the ice cream that had just solidified.

Ice cream was something that Bu Fang wasn’t unfamiliar with.

A genuine top-quality ice cream would always be very sophisticated in both ingredients and processes used, which was made possible by an exceptional ice cream maker.

To become an exceptional ice cream maker, one would have to have a non-human level of control over every single aspect of making the product. For example, in terms of temperature, Bu Fang had to control the ice cream with his cultivation, allowing it to bring out its best taste.

In the blue-and-white porcelain bowl, the ice cream had successfully condensed into a solid dish.

A chilly air circulated, and although the fragrance wasn’t strong, one could definitely smell a mild milk fragrance from the product.

Meanwhile, lightning continued to plunge down, but under Whitey’s resistance, it was quickly swallowed up.

This time, the ice cream had triggered four lightning punishments, and Whitey was able to resist all of them effortlessly.

After swallowing the lightning punishments, Whitey, with lightning flashing in its mechanical eyes, seemed to have become drunk and went to stand behind Bu Fang.

The dark clouds in the sky began to disperse. Soon, those clouds that made every woman in Goddess City panic completely disappeared.

From what had just taken place, many people had come to understand that the lightning punishment was really caused by the man.

How could cooking a dish trigger a lightning punishment?

It was beyond their imagination.

Many people could only breathe in and look on curiously. They all thought that Bu Fang’s dish had nothing special to it, but the appearance of the lightning punishment completely changed their opinion of him.

For a dish to actually trigger a lightning punishment… It was so surreal.

Swoosh…

A strong fragrance, as if having come out from a vortex, turned into a whirlwind.

Chef Jing Yuan was finally done cooking.

Hot oil was then poured onto the dish. With that action, an intense aroma burst out…

Sniffing the fragrance, Bu Fang couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

It smelled so good. The fragrance that had spread seemed to have come from a dish that had experienced lightning punishment, which was really not bad.

This woman’s cooking skills were honestly quite good.

It was a little tower of dishes that was wonderfully executed. The ingredients were fried, then stacked on top of each other. The oil that had been added at the last moment was poured on the top, flowing down beautifully.

It was a gorgeous dish.

However, after taking a glance at the dish, Bu Fang’s eyes turned away.

This Chef Jing Yuan was a good cook, but in his opinion, that was it. She was merely good.

Well, this is Goddess City after all. It wasn’t another Immortal Cooking Realm, where Immortal Chefs could be found anywhere.

Chef Jing Yuan’s cooking level has yet to even come close to the level of an Immortal Chef.

Nevertheless, she had a good foundation, and she even had the very important Heart of Cooking Path, which was rather commendable.

Having not spent time in the Immortal Cooking Realm, it would indeed be hard to properly grasp the Heart of Cooking Path.

Hence, Chef Jing Yuan’s talent could be considered really good.

But… due to the environment that she has been cooking in, her skills could only reach this level.

Bu Fang looked at Jing Yuan with an expressionless face. In the next moment, he reached out and slapped the stove.

Bang!

Many people were startled, and their eyes all focused on Bu Fang.

A dazzling radiance emanated from the ice cream, letting out beams of different colors. This was the result of Bu Fang having masterfully controlled the freezing temperature.

The cold air lingered. Accompanied by a beautiful mist, the dish looked like a beautiful work of art.

It was a piece of ice that was as beautiful as it was intoxicating.

Whoosh…

Bu Fang’s hand shook, and a cyan smoke rose to the sky.

Then, a knife appeared in his hands, spinning as light burst forth. It was as if meteors were falling from the sky.

Everyone watched the knife move around. They all held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, Bu Fang displayed his knife skills. Everyone was shocked to discover that there seemed to be a vast starry sky right in front of them.

A stream of meteors looked to be falling from above the stars.

Such a situation made everyone dumbfounded.

Meteor Knife Technique and Big Dipper Carving Technique… These skills were engraved in Bu Fang’s memory, so executing them was effortless to him.

As the knife began processing and carving the top of the ice cream, the colorful light would sometimes dim and brighten…

This phenomenon made the people around exclaim again and again.

Soon, on the White Tiger Heaven Stove, the sculpted ice cream descended slowly.

Bu Fang flipped his hand.

Three blue-and-white porcelain bowls twirled and were then placed down. Then, the ice cream began to descend towards the porcelain bowls.

The first bowl of ice cream was like a blooming rose. Its petals weren’t too thin nor too thick, curving around neatly to form a beautiful pattern.

The second bowl of ice cream was like a flying bird. With perfectly carved wings, it made the ice cream look alive and ready to fly.

The last bowl of ice cream was like a small bear with narrow eyes. Sitting in a porcelain bowl, it had a cute and lovely feel to it.

When the three bowls of ice cream were revealed, everyone fell into a daze. It simply never occurred to them that Bu Fang could actually make such a dish.

The ice cream had a colorful luster and flowing brilliance. They couldn’t move their eyes away from it.

“Wow! How beautiful!”

“Can we even eat this? It looks too… beautiful!”

“I’ve never imagined that there was a dish capable of moving me…”

Instantly, the crowd exploded into chatter.

There was no fragrance, but just by virtue of appearance, it captured all the women’s hearts.

Chef Jing Yuan stared at Bu Fang’s dish.

That’s a dish?

Ice dishes?

From its appearance… It’s cute… It’s as if it’s magic…

Suddenly, Jing Yuan no longer had confidence in her dish.

Bu Fang wiped the stains around the blue-and-white porcelain bowl with a clean white cloth. Then, he took out another white cloth and placed it under the blue-and-white porcelain bowl. With a shake of his hand, a silver spoon was placed on the white cloth.

Afterwards, Bu Fang stepped back and gently let out a breath.

“Special Handmade Ice Cream, done!”

The onlookers clapped and cheered, though these women didn’t really know why they were cheering.

…

In the distance, Empress Bi Luo craned her neck and squinted at the three bowls of ice cream on the stove.

“Sister Nethery, what kind of food did that Bu Fang cook? Why has your sister never seen such a dish before?”

Nethery was also stunned. This was the first time she saw Bu Fang cook such a dish.

She had never eaten such a dish, so she didn’t know how to answer Empress Bi Luo.

“Can it be eaten? If it can’t even be eaten… then it can’t be considered to have beaten Jing Yuan,” Empress Bi Luo said.

Nethery glanced at Empress Bi Luo and said, “Bu Fang’s dishes are always unusual. Where else have you seen Spicy Strips? How about hot pot? And how about that amazing spicy blood lobster?”

Nethery’s words shocked Empress Bi Luo

Those dishes sound strange…

Spicy Strips… what’s that?

Hot pot? A pot that’s hot?

Spicy blood lobster… This sounds pretty good…

Gulp.

With those thoughts popping up in her mind, Empress Bi Luo gulped. “Alright… I shall reluctantly believe you.”

“Sister Bi Luo, don’t forget… our bet,” Nethery said.

Empress Bi Luo snorted. “You can rest assured that this Empress has never lost a bet.”

…

The three ice cream dishes hovered around Bu Fang as he brought them towards the judges.

He looked at the three judges and said expressionlessly, “Three bowls of ice cream, one for each of you.”

Each of these three bowls of ice cream had different shapes, representing different flavors.

They had to choose a dish themselves?

Chi Si and the others looked at each other, seeing surprise in the others’ eyes.

Then, they all nodded.

Chi Si placed her finger on her red lips and looked at the three ice creams whirling around Bu Fang.

“I choose the rose!” Chi Si said.

Bu Fang nodded. With a thought, the ice cream that was carved like a rose floated towards Chi Si.

He then turned to Lin Damei.

“I choose the bear!” Lin Damei’s skin glistened as she grinned.

Bu Fang nodded, and the ice cream that was carved like a bear floated towards her.

And finally, Hei Mu was left to eat the ice cream carved to look like a bird.

Chef Jing Yuan, who was holding her dish, frowned and bit her lip.

Staring at Chi Si and the others who were ready to start tasting the ice cream, the onlookers craned their necks as their eyes squinted.

Although the ice cream enticed them… they had no idea as to how it would taste. If all that it had was a good appearance, then it couldn’t be considered to be good food.

It wasn’t just the crowd watching.

Empress Bi Luo and Nethery, as well as the Nether King Er ha, were also watching.

Chi Si’s hand grabbed a small silver spoon, and her little thumb slightly turned up. She glanced at Bu Fang before she gently took a scoop of the rose ice cream.

When the silver spoon touched the ice cream, it didn’t have any resistance. A mellow fragrance burst out, making Chi Si’s eyes shine.

When the spoonful of ice cream entered her mouth, her eyes suddenly widened.

Beside Chi Si, Lin Damei scooped up a spoonful of ice cream as well, bringing it into her mouth.

Hei Mu was calm, and her movements were rather slow.

Nevertheless, after tasting the ice cream, all three of them were stunned.

The three judges then pulled out the silver spoon from their mouths.

Chi Si’s expression was unclear.

Lin Damei’s cheeks turned red. She held her silver spoon tightly, grinning with shining eyes.

“This ice cream… really makes me feel young again!”
