Chapter 862 - The Fragrant and Plump Scorpion Meat
Chapter 862: The Fragrant and Plump Scorpion Meat
The huge scorpion that was roasted red sat within the imperial palace.
Rolls of steam wafted off of it, and a dense fragrance was dispersed along with it.
Ni Yan had long started yearning for it. Pursing her lips, her throat constantly bobbed as she swallowed.
She walked in front of that huge roasted red demon scorpion, and with a thought, a long sword appeared. That long blade was jade white, looking incomparably dazzling and translucent. It was as if there was light shimmering around it.
Without question, this was a very good weapon.
However, this very good weapon in Ni Yan’s hands was taken as a tool in order to crack open the scorpion’s shell.
The long sword tapped on the scorpion shell many times, weakening that originally sturdy scorpion shell. After going through Bu Fang’s roasting, it had become a lot frailer.
With a cracking sound and a tap from that long sword ringing out, a dense amount of cracks appeared.
A trace of oil leaked out from the fine cracks, flowing down the scorpion shell.
The dense meat fragrance made the spectators a little mesmerized in it.
Ni Yan’s eyes lit up. No longer caring about anything, she reached out her hand, then began to pull out the shattered scorpion shell. She did not even care that the piping-hot shell might burn her supple and fair fingers.
After the scorpion shell had been ripped open, the fair scorpion meat within was revealed. Although the meat was fair, its surface had a trace of rosiness, as if the redness of the shell had seeped into the meat.
Ouyang Xiaoyi and the rest all gathered, their eyes letting out light. Everyone was drooling a little as the smell was too fragrant.
This was an ingredient made from a Divine Soul Realm demon scorpion. That meat fragrance made one want to utterly sink within it.
Ouyang Xiaoyi and the rest had not smelled this sort of fragrance for a long time. Ever since Bu Fang left the Light Wind Empire, they had lost quite a bit of freshness.
Bu Fang walked over, looking at the spectators that were drooling and raising their hands. He then tossed down each a blue and white porcelain bowl.
The things that Bu Fang had prepared in the system storage space were complete. Because Bu Fang did not know when he himself would cook, he was always prepared. It seemed like it was the right choice.
Ni Yan received the bowl and also caught the chopsticks that Bu Fang had passed over. With a bowl and chopsticks, and also the plump, fragrant scorpion meat, what was there to be unsatisfied about?
Holding onto the chopsticks, Ni Yan then thrust it toward the scorpion meat. With a clasp, it was actually a little satiny. After peeling off a piece of scorpion meat, she put it into the bowl.
Dense steam rose up from within the porcelain bowl, fluttering in spirals.
Ni Yan deeply sniffed, and a rumbling sound came from within her stomach.
Rumble.
With a bite, the plump scorpion meat instantly entered her mouth. It was smooth but not soft, oily but not greasy. The heat control of the scorpion meat was just right as it did not affect the taste and did not become tough.
Eating a mouthful, the meat juice overflowed within the mouth, bringing a light saltiness. The originally fishy smell that it possessed was removed in the process of roasting by Bu Fang through herbs.
Hence, there was only meat fragrance left in the mouth, and it was a superior meat fragrance.
Ni Yan then stuffed the remaining scorpion meat into her mouth, causing her beautiful eyes to widen.
Her originally fatigued spirit became a lot more refreshed after eating this piece of meat. Her powerless figure also felt like it was filled with abundant power.
It was too delicious!
Ni Yan excitedly smiled. That smile was so sweet and full of grace.
She continued pinching the chopsticks, clicking them as they moved towards the scorpion meat before clasping out pieces.
Eating one piece after another…
Bu Fang also ate the scorpion meat. However, his brows slightly furrowed. This was the first time he had roasted this scorpion meat, and truthfully speaking, it did not meet the expectations in his heart.
Involuntarily, Bu Fang heaved a sigh. Just now, he had been fighting while cooking, so that might have affected the meat. It was delicious, but it still had some flaws.
Ouyang Xiaoyi and the rest also held the chopsticks while eating.
Not only were their cultivations weaker, but the grade of this scorpion meat was too high, so with just a bite, they began to feel a swelling-like type of the energy in their body, and they felt like it was about overflow.
Although they really wanted to eat, after just one bite, they could no longer eat anymore. If they forced more down, they could very likely explode from the energy contained within the scorpion meat.
Naturally, they did not want to explode, so in the end, only Bu Fang and Ni Yan gorged themselves with food.
Bu Fang, after eating a few pieces, did not eat anymore.
On the other hand, Ni Yan got more excited the more she ate.
She sat on the ground while munching away. One scorpion meat was quickly eaten by her within seconds.
Finishing one, there was still another. Ni Yan happily began eating the second, then the third, then the fourth…
At last, what was left were the scorpion shells littered around them.
Ni Yan, who was wearing a blissful expression, patted and hugged her stomach.
She had eaten until she was full, causing her figure to obtain quite a bit of energy. The power of the stars seemed to settle down quite a bit, not causing Ni Yan to become drowsy.
“You still want to eat?”
The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. Watching four two-meter tall huge scorpions being completely eaten by Ni Yan, he involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
This woman… is too perverted.
Ouyang Xiaoyi, Xiao Xiaolong, and the rest watched Ni Yan like they were watching some monster.
Ouyang Xiaoyi’s mouth was even shivering. This was definitely not her beautiful and noble big sister Ni Yan.
Her big sister Ni Yan could not possibly be such a glutton!
“Still okay. I’m a little full now.” Ni Yan rubbed her stomach that had become a little round, smiling as she said.
The spectators were speechless.
“If it’s not enough, I still have two scorpion pincers here…”
“Really? The meat of the scorpion pincer is the most delicious. Owner Bu’s culinary skills are unbeatable!” Ni Yan was surprised, flattering Bu Fang conveniently.
However, Bu Fang obviously did not fall for her methods.
“Dream on. Are you a pig?” Bu Fang rolled his eyes at Ni Yan, then collected the porcelain bowls from the others’ hands.
The spectators stood on the spot with a little wish to continue.
“Let’s go save the people in the dungeon. Isn’t there a lot of people being kept there?” Bu Fang asked.
Xiao Xiaolong, Ouyang Xiaoyi, and the rest instantly regained their senses. Indeed, their close relatives were still locked in the palace dungeon.
There were many spirit beasts in there!
Just now, they had only cared about eating delicacies, actually forgetting such an important matter.
A moment later, everyone followed Ouyang Xiaoyi’s lead as they walked down toward the dungeon.
This dungeon was dug out by the emperor of the Light Wind Empire in the early years, and it was especially used to lock criminals.
Passing the courtyard of the imperial palace, they came to a side door. After entering the side door, they walked past a long corridor with red walls. At the end of the corridor, they reached the entrance of the huge dungeon.
The war of the imperial palace did not seem to affect this place at all. The bigshot guards were still those few mighty demon scorpion experts.
When these experts saw Bu Fang’s group, their eyes instantly shrank. They let out a solemn warning, preventing them from continuing coming near and moving on.
Bu fang crossed his arms. He did not care at all about the orders of these demon scorpion experts.
He continued to walk. His mental energy surging out, and a dark golden flame dragon appeared around his figure.
The fire dragon roared, floating and circling around Bu Fang as he walked.
With a point of his finger, it flew towards the crazily roaring demon scorpion experts. The figures of these experts were engulfed by the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, instantly burning them into ashes.
In the end, no was able to stop Bu Fang and the rest, and the various people of the Light Wind Empire were rescued.
Losing the demon scorpion chief, Xie He, the remaining demon scorpion experts were completely lacking due to fear. Soon, those that ran escaped, and those that chose to stay died on the spot.
Those that stayed and wanted to kill Bu Fang were burned into ashes by the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame.
As of this day, Bu Fang’s flame-control had become more and more smooth and easy.
The dungeon was full, as if those that had survived in the Light Wind Empire had all been held in this place.
Originally, Xie He intended to make these humans his food. It was a pity that Bu Fang’s appearance destroyed his plans.
After he ran away, these people all lived.
The various people of the Light Wind Empire seemed to have sunk into despair, but who would have thought that there would be a day that they would once again see the sky?
These people, after walking out of the dungeon, wept with joy. With tears streaming down their faces, they kneeled on the ground, spreading out their arms as they worshipped the heavens.
They were grateful to destiny, and most especially, they were grateful to Bu Fang.
Ji Chengxue had gotten quite a bit older, his face unshaven. After meeting Bu Fang again, all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart.
Ji Chengxue felt that his Light Wind Empire was already going to be destroyed.
Who would have thought that Bu Fang, who left the empire, would actually return, chasing away those evil demons and rescuing them?
Ji Chengxue really did not know what to say to Bu Fang. He could only deeply bow at the latter.
Bu Fang did not mind it too much. He had only helped as much as he could within his power.
After all, the Light Wind Empire was the place that he had stayed the longest when he came to the Hidden Dragon Continent. Naturally, he held a strong attachment to this place, so to lend a hand when it was in crisis was just a normal thing to do.
After that, Ji Chengxue returned to the imperial palace. Looking at the imperial palace that was in a complete mess, he could only force a smile.
The people that survived began their work to recover their homes.
Bu Fang then brought Ni Yan and returned to Fang Fang’s Little Store.
As Xiao Xiaolong had just escaped, he had many things to tell his family. Hence, he did not return to the restaurant immediately.
The moment they returned to the restaurant, Ni Yan very naturally went upstairs to Bu Fang’s room to sleep. She had just eaten four full demon scorpions, so she felt drowsy, descending into deep sleep in just a short while.
Bu Fang could do nothing about it, so he went to the kitchen to practice cooking some dishes.
He could conveniently create some unique dishes to form the Gourmet Array.
Although Bu Fang had left the Light Wind Empire for a very long time, looking at the place that had almost been razed to the ground, he still felt that he had to do something about it.
With Bu Fang’s strength now, the Gourmet Array that he was about to make would be enough to increase the defense of the Light Wind Empire by countless times.
Furthermore, the coverage of the Gourmet Array would be wider, and it would enable the Light Wind Empire to expand their buildings.
After a while, Bu Fang cooked many dishes, forming a Gourmet Array. He then kept it within the system’s storage space.
Eventually, the Gourmet Array was able to increase Bu Fang’s combat ability by quite a bit.
…
High above the sky, a comet rapidly ripped past!
With a bang, it harshly slammed onto a mountain peak.
That mountain peak was directly smashed into pieces. Within the shattered debris, a figure slowly walked out.
It was Xie He, the demon scorpion chief that had lost both his arms.
Xie He’s face was filled with bitter resentment. Gritting his teeth, dense Nether energy surrounded his body as he firmly stared at the direction of the Light Wind Empire.
“That damn stinky chef… Just wait for this chief’s return. I will definitely rip you into shreds! Swallow your meat piece by piece!”
With a turn, Xie He then became a comet again as he resumed his escape. The direction that he was dashing to was toward the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Once he reached the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would be able to ask help from the Great Ethereal Realm experts of his demon scorpion race from the transportation gate!
As soon as the Great Ethereal Realm expert of the demon scorpion race descended, that stinky chef would definitely die!
