“Reject them all?”

That gave Luo Sanniang pause. She did not seem to expect Bu Fang to reject so readily.

“Are you sure? Those charming bitches of the aristocratic families are all famous beauties in the divine dynasty, and they are the dream girls of many geniuses…” she said with a smile, cupping her smooth chin with a hand.

Bu Fang gave her a sideways glance. ‘Is she referring to herself?’ he thought. He rejected all the same. “The restaurant will open tomorrow. They can come to enjoy the food… But no discount,” he said. After that, he rose to his feet and left the restaurant.

Luo Sanniang followed. She did not mind if there was no discount for her. Although Bu Fang was just a Spirit Divine Chef, as a Divine Chef who could solve the inheritance’s seal, his restaurant would not be too bad.

Bu Fang did not go to his restaurant. Instead, he boarded Luo Sanniang’s warship and returned to the Divine Chef Temple.

He had eaten and drank what he wanted, so he was quite satisfied. The dishes of those Earth Divine Chefs were delicious in their own ways. But he was confident in his own dishes. He believed that he could carve out a niche in the food and beverage sector dominated by all the Earth Divine Chefs.

After they arrived in the Divine Chef Temple, Luo Sanniang brought Bu Fang to the building where the inheritance was located.

The inheritance had more than one seal. Bu Fang had solved one, but there were many more after that. This was the reason why the Divine Chef Temple valued him so much. After all, they were the seals of an ancient Heavengod’s inheritance, which were not so easy to solve.

“This is the second seal. It appeared after the first one was broken…” Luo Sanniang said lazily, pointing at the seal in the distance as she leaned her curvy figure against a railing. With her long eyelashes fluttering, she turned to Bu Fang, smiled, and said, “Mister Bu, do you want to give it a try?”

‘Try to break the second seal?’ Bu Fang frowned and gave the seal a serious look.

“I’ll let the others try it first…” Without waiting for Bu Fang’s answer, Luo Sanniang shouted at a Spirit Divine Chef in the distance.

The Divine Chef did not hesitate and walked straight up to the seal. After the first seal was broken, those tests were gone. So for the past few days, these chefs had nothing to do. Now that the second seal had appeared, they were all eager to give it a try.

The Spirit Divine Chef stood in front of the seal. Soon, he released the divine sense in his mind. All Spirit Divine Chefs were Demigods, but there were also Gods among them. The Divine Chef chosen by Luo Sanniang was a God who had comprehended the Law.

His divine sense poured forth and collided with the seal’s power. A rumbling sound filled the air as he closed his eyes. Then, a unique essence seemed to be released from the seal, spreading across the void in an instant.

A large group of Divine Chefs had gathered around to watch. Everyone was very curious about the unknown second seal.

Suddenly, a counter appeared over the seal, just like the first seal, and the number began to jump, starting from one. Then, after a few breaths, it began to increase rapidly. When it reached one hundred…

The Divine Chef flicked opened his eyes—it had become bloodshot. His body began to tremble violently, and blood spurted from his seven orifices.

The scene made everyone panic. Even Bu Fang was frowning.

The calm look in Luo Sanniang’s eyes was gone. In a flash, she disappeared from where she stood, and when she reappeared, she was already in front of the seal. There, she raised a hand and rested it on the chef’s shoulder.

She sucked in a cold breath in an instant. A wave of pressure that seemed to fall from the skies came smashing down on her, causing her face to turn pale. The next moment, she pulled her hand back from the chef as if she was pricked by a needle, then jumped back a few steps, leaning her back against the wall.

The Divine Chef’s body jerked, stiffened, then fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

What happened? Did a God die just like that? The nearby Divine Chefs all felt their flesh creep. Obviously, they had never met with this situation before, and it made them panic a little. It appeared that trying to solve the seal would get one killed!

Bu Fang jumped over the railing, walked up to the Divine Chef, and sent out his divine sense. The God lay on his back on the ground. His eyes were wide open and filled with a confused look. It was clear that he did not know what killed him.

“His divine sense was completely exhausted… and his spirit sea collapsed,” Bu Fang said, withdrawing his divine sense and sucking in a cold breath.

It was a sad way to die. A God was not so easy to kill, and yet a mere seal of an inheritance had taken the life of one.

Luo Sanniang stood up. She did not expect this to happen. “Is he dead?” She had regained her composure, but her face was still a little unsightly.

Her original intention was to let the Divine Chef try to solve the seal before Bu Fang. Now it seemed that the seal was very dangerous. In that case, she could not let him take any chances. He was far too important to die like that.

“Owner Bu, you stay away from this seal for now. I’ll report this to the higher echelon… This is the first time this has happened,” Luo Sanniang said, sighing.

The rest of the Divine Chefs were somewhat scared. A God had died from trying to solve the seal. Would they dare solve the seal now after witnessing that? No… Most of them were weaker than a God. Since even a God was killed, what qualification did they have to touch the seal?

Luo Sanniang was at a loss now. After warning Bu Fang, she turned around and could not wait to leave. A God-level Divine Chef had died, and it was by no means a small incident. Although the Divine Chef Temple had recruited many Divine Chefs, only a handful of them were at this level.

The Earth Divine Chefs and Spirit Divine Chefs all stopped studying the seal, for they were afraid of death.

Luo Sanniang turned and left. However, before she reached the door, she heard cries of surprise behind her. The sudden uproar made her body tremble. She turned her head sharply and saw Bu Fang standing in front of the seal.

“What?!” Luo Sanniang’s pupils constricted, while the reactions of the Divine Chefs around her were similar.

“Is he out of his mind?”

“He knows that the seal had killed a Divine Chef, and yet he still wants to solve it. He’s not taking his own life seriously!”

Although the crowd was exclaiming, Bu Fang could no longer hear them. His spirit had sunk into the inheritance’s seal.

The second seal was different from the first. It was very heavy. When Bu Fang’s spirit went inside, he heard an old voice ringing in his head.

“The Wok Tossing Style of Affliction…”

Rumble!

A heavy black wok immediately appeared in front of Bu Fang. Hovering in midair, it seemed to crush the void. He frowned. As he studied it with his divine sense, he found that the wok was like a bottomless black hole, and it kept sucking at his divine sense.

After a long time, he managed to sense the tests he needed to complete to break the seal. In fact, they were similar to the tests in the first seal. There were also three tests, and the first one required him to toss the wok for nine hundred and ninety-nine times within half an hour.

Wok tossing?

Bu Fang took a deep breath. With a thought, his spirit immediately went into a mysterious space. A black wok emerged in front of him, containing sand that looked like diamond dust. He reached out a hand and grabbed the wok. It was extremely heavy, and he could not lift it with one hand. He had to clutch it with both hands to barely raise it.

He sent out his divine sense and wound it around the wok. As it kept being drained, he felt the black wok become lighter. However, doing so would consume a tremendous amount of his divine sense. No wonder the Divine Chef died with his divine sense completely exhausted. Most likely, he had used all his divine sense on tossing the wok.

Bu Fang reckoned that this Wok Tossing Style of Affliction was not much weaker than the Kitchen Knife of Affliction, and he guessed that he would comprehend a divine power after completing the tests. At the thought of that, his eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, he surrounded the black wok with his divine sense, then put all his strength into his Taotie Arm. The Yin and Yang Taotie souls in it seemed to roar furiously while the muscles all bulged.

Grabbing the black wok with both hands, Bu Fang began to toss it in the most orthodox way. He pushed it away from him and pulled it back toward him, causing it to slam against the stove and producing a clanging sound. The diamond dust in the wok jumped into the air like a wave, then fell back into the wok in the next moment.

A rumbling sound echoed out like thunder. After tossing the wok once, Bu Fang exhaled softly. He felt a little bit of his divine sense was sucked away. That made him narrow his eyes slightly.

With every toss, a little bit of his divine sense would be sucked away. Based on this calculation, a tremendous amount of his divine sense would be drained after tossing the wok for nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

The divine sense of an average person would not be enough to complete the test. He finally understood why the God’s divine sense was completely exhausted.

Outside, everyone watched in horror as Bu Fang stood unmoving. In front of him, a counter had appeared over the seal. All eyes were fixed on the number as if it was a countdown timer of his doom. The God had died when the number reached one hundred. What would be Bu Fang’s number?

Luo Sanniang was having difficulty breathing as she stared at Bu Fang. His rash action made her a little flustered. But no matter how panicked she was, she had to face reality. She could only hope that Bu Fang would survive. She did not know what the danger in the seal of the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance was.

The number began to jump. Ten, twenty, thirty…

Soon, it reached one hundred, which was the number when the Divine Chef, who was also a God, died! All the people present held their breaths and watched intently.

All of a sudden, just as the number reached one hundred, Bu Fang’s movements and expression changed!
