"Now, tell me. What's your name?"
The Empress' chuckles echoed in the palace. Her voice was quite pleasant to the ears. Although it sounded gentle, there was still a trace of coldness in it.
Her words had surprised Bu Fang.
He's the second man who set foot in this place in several thousand years?
The first one was called Nether King Tian Cang?
Wait a minute!
Bu Fang was confused. The gaze he was directing at the hovering Empress turned skeptical.
"Who is Nether King Tian Cang? I know only of a Nether King named Er Ha," Bu Fang asked, the corners of his lips twitching.
"Nether King Er Ha… I don't know him. Anyway, that Nether King Tian Cang was very fathomable. He was really strong. My mother, ah… Right, that Nether King Tian Cang is dead. I heard that he attacked Nether Prison and died away from home."
The Empress sat back down on her golden throne and crossed her slender legs. Her white calves pressed on each other, creating a stunning curve.
She raised her chin, looking at Bu Fang.
"Attacked Nether Prison? Died away from home?"
Bu Fang took in a breath of cold air. After he'd heard that, he now knew who Nether King Tian Cang was.
"Is that Nether King Er Ha's father?"
"Yeah... I don't care about him. Tell me your name. Why do you want to go to God Vanishing Mountain?" the Empress asked casually, as though these matters were nothing more than domestic issues.
The other women exchanged looks, at a loss for words.
However, they didn't interrupt their Empress' interrogation. They didn't have the guts to do that anyway.
"I'm called Bu Fang. I'm a chef," Bu Fang said sternly.
"A chef?"
The moment Bu Fang said that, chatters broke out in the palace once more.
The Empress was surprised for a moment, then her red lips curled into a beautiful grin.
"A chef? Someone that cooks in a kitchen?"
"Your understanding is correct," said Bu Fang.
He was a simple chef who had opened restaurants…
"Interesting. How good are you at cooking compared to the chef in our Spring Wind Pavilion? The chef in Spring Wind Pavilion is the best chef in our city," the Empress, who was sitting comfortably on her throne, said casually.
Bu Fang frowned. He did not understand the Empress' intention.
However, he still exhaled.
"I am… invincible."
The moment those words rang out in the hall, an uproar broke out.
This man is too arrogant!
Spring Wind Pavilion's chef was the best chef in their Goddess City. Every time Her Majesty held an imperial feast, she would ask the chefs from Spring Wind Pavilion to cook.
And now, this man was thinking that he was better at cooking than Spring Wind Pavilion's chef?
Bu Fang's expression was cold.
The Empress narrowed her eyes, studying Bu Fang. After a while, she raised her hand.
"You want to know the way to God Vanishing Mountain? Do you know what kind of place it is?" asked the Empress.
"The God Vanishing Mountain of Earth Prison. I only know that I must go there." Bu Fang sounded serious.
The fate of the Immortal Cooking Realm rested on the outcome of this mission. No matter what, he must collect water from the Spring of Life in God Vanishing Mountain.
"I don't know why you men want to go to God Vanishing Mountain. Anyway, I don't need to know. I can give you a chance, though. Let's see if you can grab it or not." The Empress looked at Bu Fang and placed her slender fingers on her lips.
"What is it?" Bu Fang frowned. "I really don't have time."
"It's no use even if you say you're in a hurry. If you want to go to God Vanishing Mountain, you will need me to show you the way. If I don't take you there, you will never be able to get there."
The Empress smiled faintly, then added, "You have no choice but to behave and try to catch the chance I'm giving you. Perhaps you can even make me take you to God Vanishing Mountain."
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. If the Empress' words were true, getting to God Vanishing Mountain would be a really difficult task.
"Alright, I agree. What do you require? Tell me."
Bu Fang exhaled. The bandage wound back around his arm, and he retrieved the Black Turtle Constellation Wok.
The Empress leaned to the side, revealing even more of her straight, alluring thighs.
"The chance I'm giving you is… to cook an imperial feast that will satisfy me."
A feast?
Bu Fang was surprised. Nonetheless, he nodded.
Cooking a feast wasn't just to cook a dish. He needed to cook many dishes, and he must cook them with different meanings.
Compared to normal cooking, it was a little more difficult to prepare a feast.
Bu Fang had never cooked for a feast before. However, it didn't affect his confidence.
"No problem. When?" Bu Fang asked.
The Empress looked at him with a weird expression.
"Hey, you're a little dumb, aren't you? Do you think you can cook my imperial feast at any time? There are many people lining up to cook for me. You… must get the qualification to cook the feast first.
"As for how to get the qualification, I don't know. Go and figure it out yourself. Alright, I'm tired. I don't want to talk more. Dismissed," the Empress said.
Her red lips parted as she yawned. After that, she waved her hand to dismiss the others.
Bu Fang, who had more questions to ask, furrowed his brows.
Lin Damei suddenly placed her hand on his shoulder. "Shut your mouth. Her Majesty has dismissed you. Just leave now."
Boom!
Lin Damei stomped hard, and with a loud blast, she had speedily dragged Bu Fang out of the great hall.
Creak.
The massive doors of the golden hall slowly closed.
Darkness slowly engulfed the place.
Bu Fang, who was being led away, looked back. Through the narrow slit between the closing doors, he could see the breathtaking empress, who was lying on her side.
Their eyes met.
Eventually, the doors closed with a loud thud.
The Empress looked away and got up from the throne.
Everyone else had been dismissed.
She stretched, arching her back. Her breasts jiggled so much that it looked like they would bounce off her chest.
"An ordinary chef comes to Goddess City? Do you really think anybody can just come to my city? I do want to see, chef, how different you are."
The Empress snorted, then licked her red lips.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and looked up, as though she could see the sky. A moment later, a smile spread across her face.
...
Outside the majestic Goddess City, a tear appeared in space, and the Netherworld Ship slowly flew out it.
Nethery's eyes darkened as she looked straight at the impressive city gate.
Flowery was also looking at the big city. She crawled to the front of the ship and craned her neck, taking in the magnificent scenery.
"What a massive city. Its aura's really intimidating!"
"Goddess City is a forbidden city. The God Vanishing Mountain is behind this city, so of course it's extraordinary," Nethery said.
Suddenly, Nethery's black eyes shrank.
The space next to her was being torn apart.
A slender arm with red satin tied around the wrist suddenly reached out and hugged Nethery's neck.
A graceful figure then came out of the tear. Her creamy thighs, which were fully exposed, were so alluring that they could make anyone overly emotional.
"Hey, my little Nethery. You finally came to see me!"
The woman's arm pulled Nethery's head into her chest. Her deep and supple cleavage made sure to bury the latter's head deep in it.
Flowery's jaw dropped as she gawked at them.
That woman who had just appeared was as dazzling as a star.
What's going on?
Why did she hug Nethery the moment she appeared?
Didn't Nethery say that the women in this city are all beautiful bitches?
Is this woman one of those beautiful bitches?
Nethery's head was being rubbed against the beautiful, goddess-like woman's breasts. She wiggled for a while and finally got rid of the woman's white wrist.
She sighed, her face turning cold. "Bi Luo! You're the empress of Goddess City. Can you be a little careful?!"
Empress Bi Luo just looked at Nethery. Unable to contain herself, she pulled the latter into a hug, causing both their bosoms to smash at each other.
"Little Sister Nethery, long time no see. You've gained weight! Let me hug you!" The Empress closed her eyes, hugging Nethery. Her posture looked alluring.
Flowery's Tri-Flower Snake Eyes quivered as understanding dawned on her.
No wonder Nethery said that the women in this city were pretty bitches. That statement did have some basis.
"Oh hey, little sister. You look so cute! Come, let me touch you."
Empress Bi Luo released Nethery, then turned to Flowery. Her eyes had brightened the moment she spotted the latter, and in no time at all, Flowery's face was attacked.
Her cheeks were rubbed so hard that its shape almost changed.
Flowery immediately began to hate her life.
What happened? Where is she? What is she doing?
Nethery rolled her eyes. So many years had passed, but this woman had not changed a bit.
Swoosh…
Empress Bi Luo didn't say anything more. She just led Nethery and Flowery into Goddess City.
Inside the palace, she let Nethery sit together with her on the throne.
Empress Bi Luo curled her lips and began to observe Nethery from head to toe. Then, her slender fingers reached out and touched Nethery's glabella.
Green light instantly shone through the palace hall. A moment later, the snakes of the curse in Nethery's body emerged.
When Empress Bi Luo saw the snakes, her face turned unsightly.
"There's still no way to get rid of these snakes? Damn… My poor little Nethery."
Empress Bi Luo held Nethery's head and sighed.
"No problem. With Bu Fang's dishes, the curse won't awaken. It's okay." Nethery's eyes were calm as she spoke in a gentle voice.
When Nethery mentioned Bu Fang, Empress Bi Luo was surprised. "Bu Fang? Ah… The man that intruded my Goddess City?"
"Yes… Bu Fang's my boss. I'm a waitress in his restaurant. He provides me with his dishes, which suppresses the curse in my body," Nethery explained after a moment of pondering.
"What?! That man dared to make my sister his waitress?! What a fat liver he's got!"
Empress Bi Luo rolled her eyes. She still looked splendid even when rolling her eyes.
"I should have him thrown into the underground prison, where he can enjoy the water cell. After that, Nethery, you will be free!"
Nethery was speechless. This big-breasted woman with no brains seemed to have forgotten the second part of her words?
"Where's Bu Fang? He wants to go to God Vanishing Mountain. Bi Luo, can you take him there?" said Nethery.
Empress Bi Luo crossed her arms in front of her chest, causing her breasts to appear even bigger.
"No. I've given him a chance to cook me an imperial feast. If I'm satisfied, I will take him there. But now, even if I'm satisfied, I won't take him there. He forced my little Nethery to be his waitress, so of course I won't take him there!"
"An imperial feast?" Nethery was stunned.
"Yes. Oh, hey, you should join the feast. Let's eat together, okay?" Empress Bi Luo said with a smile.
Nethery, who was looking at Bi Luo's beautiful face, thought about Bu Fang cooking an imperial feast. She couldn't help but smile.
"Okay!"
...
Outside Goddess City
Nether King Er Ha arrived with Old Tie.
Looking at the massive and imposing Goddess City, Nether King Er Ha licked his lips.
"God... God... Goddess City?!"
Of course, Old Tie knew Goddess City. He was so frightened when Nether King His Highness brought him here.
"I'm sure Bu Fang young man is in that city. Looks like we need to figure out a way to get in." Nether King Er Ha began to think.
"Nether King, Your Highness, we should leave. It's Goddess City. If Lord Ying Long finds out we're here, I'm sure he'd make a big mess." Old Tie looked ready to burst into tears.
However, Nether King Er Ha didn't listen to him.
A short while later, his eyes brightened!
He raised his hand and stroked his face. Then, his eyes shifted to Old Tie.
"Hey, Old Tie, look at me. Tell me, how good is your makeup skills? Can you make me as beautiful as a goddess?" Nether King Er Ha asked seriously.
Old Tie, who was rendered dumbstruck when he heard those words, grew scared.
"My Nether King, Your Highness… Do you want to disguise as a woman to blend in the city?"
