1127 You Crazy Man!

Goddess City fell into silence.

The blinding white light still shone above Spring Wind Pavilion, the tallest building in Goddess City, as well as its most luxurious restaurant…

Everyone could only watch as the white lotus burst out of the roof, shooting rubble all over.

Lin Damei, with a number of her subordinates, continued to retreat from Spring Wind Pavilion as they watched the terrifying scene unfold.

Her subordinates took in a breath of cold air, trembling in fear.

Fear shrouded everyone in the city.

Such… such a scene playing out was just too horrifying!

Did that man really possess such frightening power?

Chi Si stepped on air as she whistled. A moment later, a red dragon waved its wings and rose to the sky.

Chef Jing Yuan followed Chi Si to stand on the back of the red dragon. Her mind was still in a daze.

"I… I didn't think that that man had such means..." Chi Si sighed. She didn't realize that she unconsciously looked away from the scene. Although Bu Fang's cultivation wasn't at a high level, the power that he possessed could instill fear in a True Immortal Realm expert.

First, it was those exploding meatballs. Then, the iron pot that caused such terrifying waves of power...

"Spring Wind Pavilion... could it actually have been destroyed?" Jing Yuan's eyes stared at the glowing Spring Wind Pavilion, her mind and body trembling.

Chi Si sighed and urged the red dragon to fly farther away. She knew from the energy fluctuations that the destruction of Spring Wind Pavilion was merely the beginning.

She felt despair from that fluctuation, and she didn't have the courage to face it.

"No... Maybe the whole Goddess City will be destroyed," Chi Si said as her chest tightened.

Boom!

After the silence, a big explosion finally broke out.

Flames flew into the sky as loud explosions could be heard from all over, causing everyone's ears to begin ringing.

Everyone was in a daze.

The people who were inside and nearest Spring Wind Pavilion came back to their senses. In the next moment, one after the other, they fled madly in all directions.

If they didn't flee, they knew that they would end up dying.

In order to survive, everyone began to flee...

As the huge lotus flower continued to expand, growing in power, Spring Wind Pavilion began to crumble inch by inch.

Madam Jin couldn't believe it. Her body was trembling in fear, her face displaying no other emotion besides panic.

However, what pained her more was that under that powerful lotus, the whole Spring Wind Pavilion was constantly crumbling.

Spring Wind Pavilion was her life's work. It was everything she had come up with over the years.

How could she let it be destroyed just like that?

"Ah! This old woman will destroy you!" Madam Jin waved her golden crutch and pointed at the lotus.

The lotus would encourage one to start fleeing, and yet, Madam Jin actually charged at it.

In the next moment...

Madame Jin, who was waving her golden crutch and shouting loudly, was completely swallowed up by the energy...

The ground below began crumbling...

Swish…

A red robe could be seen fluttering in the air. At the same time, a powerful wave of energy could be felt from the direction of that red robe.

It seemed as if there was light falling from heaven, and hope once again reignited within the masses.

Everyone who fled in a hurry felt their minds calm down, and they unconsciously looked up to the sky.

There, they saw...

A graceful, barefooted figure wrapped in red robe, her long legs peeking out.

With long black hair fanning out, Empress Bi Luo stepped on the void and remained hovering in the air.

She continued to watch the blooming lotus, her face looking dignified.

Then…

She raised her hand.

Different figures then began to form.

Above her, Nether energy surged and formed a gigantic hand. That gigantic hand then swung towards the lotus.

The fleeing people stopped, looking up at the sky.

Chi Si, who was on the red dragon, looked at the beautiful, barefoot Empress, showing an admiring look on her face.

"The Empress... has come!"

"T-The… Empress?" Chef Jing Yuan's eyes shook.

Lin Damei had already run a long way with her subordinates, but she stopped when she saw the Empress.

"Well, let's take a break. It's all right now. The Empress is here."

After that, Lin Damei watched the slowly expanding lotus. still containing within her a hint of fear.

Bu Fang, that man, has really made quite a mess.

In the sky, movement could be seen.

Shrimpy sped upwards, but it had soon been forced to a stop.

However, that was enough. Bu Fang looked down at the lotus blooming beneath, showing a proud expression.

Then, fatigue seemed to wash over him.

It was due to the exhaustion of his spirit sea. In order to form the iron pot, his spirit sea was almost completely drained.

Suddenly, Bu Fang was stunned.

He stared at a location in the distance.

There, he saw the Empress with her red robe, looking beautiful and breathtaking. She had luscious red lips that would captivate any man.

As the gigantic hand smashed down onto the glowing lotus, dark energy spread out in an instant, quickly enveloping the white lotus, turning it black.

Whoosh…

The dark energy solidified, and soon, the huge white lotus stopped growing, preventing any more destruction.

As the huge black lotus blossom covered the sky, everyone let out a breath of relief.

The Empress sighed in relief. "Fortunately, I arrived in time... Can't a woman just take her bath in peace?"

Then, she glided down as the lotus was gradually being destroyed.

Looking at the huge lotus and the remaining half of Spring Wind Pavilion, she blinked her eyes.

"Eh… Spring Wind Pavilion?"

The Empress was stunned. Then, it all became clear, her face revealing an enchanting smile.

"All this happened because of Spring Wind Pavilion? It seems that Bu Fang wanted to qualify for the imperial feast, and then some trouble came up..."

The Empress shook her head as she laughed. Then, she raised her hands and waved them towards the destroyed lotus.

Boom!

With a loud noise, Spring Wind Pavilion trembled violently, shaking a little as rubble rolled down.

The huge black lotus was lifted by the Empress.

The Empress floated in the air, carrying the mountain-sized black lotus towards the distance.

Soon, she left Goddess City.

Chi Si rode a red dragon to catch up. Shortly after, she saw the Empress stop in the wilderness outside Goddess City.

The Empress took a deep breath, then threw the huge lotus. It came crashing down at a rather unpopulated part of the wilderness.

Empress Bi Luo then clapped her hands and exhaled. After that, her graceful figure flew across the empty sky as she muttered, "That lotus contains the will of the Great Path... No wonder it had such great power! He's truly a crazy man. Fortunately, this Empress has great ability and has taken care of his mess."

Chi Si rushed over. Standing on the back of the red dragon, she saluted Empress Bi Luo.

Chef Jing Yuan also did the same as a courtesy.

Empress Bi Luo complained, "Well, get up, little Chi Si. Since you're here, why don't you go and check on that crazy man... You know if that thing had completely blown up, half of Goddess City would be destroyed!"

Chi Si turned red in embarrassment. She had no idea that Bu Fang would actually have and use such frightening means.

Suddenly…

Boom!

The whole world seemed to shake.

A gale blew past Chi Si as she trembled and looked towards the distance.

The explosion and the wind seemed to have come from the location where Empress threw the lotus.

Giant mushroom clouds surged into the sky and fell back to the ground. It was as if heaven and the earth were collapsing.

The Empress helplessly said, "See? It's good that I came in time to throw it away. Otherwise... who do you think would have suffered most from the explosion?"

Chi Si gulped. "I... I..."

"Well, go back to the city now. The energy waves have yet to dissipate. In a few days, we should have cleared out the remnant energy from the lotus, or else the attack from the will of the Great Path will be fatal," the Empress said. Then, she flew back to Goddess City.

Halfway through the flight, the Empress looked up at a golden figure in the sky. Her red lip curled upwards, showing a radiant smile.

Chi Si and the Empress returned to Goddess City, where everyone was in a complete panic.

Fortunately, the guards came out to suppress the chaos.

The Empress flew back to Spring Wind Pavilion. Looking at the half-destroyed restaurant, she was speechless at how pathetic it looked.

"Tell me, what happened?" the Empress asked, sitting down on a chair and crossing her legs.

Chi Si dared not hide anything, so she explained the entire situation.

The Empress propped up her chin as she said, "Madam Jin finally messed up... This Empress usually lets her do whatever she wants, though her arrogance really increased a lot. So, she had actually organized her own army, and even trained the four divine guards to such a high level..."

Chi Si dared not speak.

"Well, at least that man gave me a reason to finally get rid of her. Chi Si, send someone to take over Spring Wind Pavilion. From today onwards, Spring Wind Pavilion shall belong to this Empress."

"Ah?" Chi Si was surprised that the Empress would actually make such a decision. "Isn't this... taking advantage of someone who has just suffered from an attack?"

"What are you afraid of? Madam Jin ended up being killed because of her own doing. Now, Spring Wind Pavilion no longer has an owner. Is there someone else who is more worthy of taking ownership of Spring Wind Pavilion than this Empress?" the Empress said with a smile.

Chi Si suddenly became silent. Looking at the Empress, it was obvious that the idea of taking Spring Wind Pavilion hadn't just come around at that moment.

After leaving Chef Jing Yuan behind, she took her Red Dragon Army to do what the Empress had told her to do.

In the sky, a golden, glowing figure rapidly descended.

Bu Fang could be seen standing on Shrimpy's back.

"Did you know that you almost destroyed Goddess City just for the right to cook at the imperial feast?" Empress Bi Luo said to Bu Fang the moment she saw him.

Fortunately, she had arrived before the lotus fully exploded, temporarily sealing the lotus with secret arts before she was able to move it away.

Bu Fang remained silent. He didn't expect the power of the explosive iron pot to be so strong. He had made a mistake.

The Empress complained: "For a imperial feast, you were actually going to do such things?"

The beautiful voice made Bu Fang's eyebrows furrow.

'Was there something wrong with this woman's head?'

"Didn't you say that I, by myself, should find a way to qualify myself to cook for the imperial feast?"

Bu Fang said expressionlessly: "Chef Jing Yuan had already agreed to a competition between us, but that the old lady went and sent people to break my leg and kill me... I just fought back."

Bu Fang was currently in a rather weak state, frowning as he wasn't in a good mood.

The Empress glanced at Bu Fang and said lazily:

"This Empress isn't unreasonable. You and Jing Yuan will decide the cooking qualifications for the imperial feast yourselves. After seven days, the imperial feast will be held. I hope that whoever will be cooking for the imperial feast won't disappoint me."

Jing Yuan nodded.

Bu Fang naturally had no problems with such an arrangement.

"Okay. Jing Yuan, let's have the cooking competition tomorrow. I'll be the one look for you." Bu Fang took a breath and said.

Jing Yuan's eyes suddenly shone and she stared at Bu Fang. "I know that your cooking is pretty good, but I won't just let you have the cooking qualifications for imperial feast without a challenge!"

In the distance...

A ship suddenly tore the void.

Nethery was sitting on the bow of the ship, her long white legs dangling in the air.

Bu Fang was stunned.

"Nethery?"

The Empress saw Nethery, her eyes suddenly shone, her body flashed and appeared next to Nethery. She held Nethery, bringing Nethery's head towards her chest.

"Sister You, did you come here because you were worried for your big sister? Your big sister is strong, I'm fine!"

Bu Fang looked at Nethery, who seemed to have been squeezed out of breath. For a while, he was somewhat confused...

'Does Nethery know this woman?'

After what seemed to be a long time...

Nethery was able to free herself and breathed.

She looked at the Empress, blinked her eyes, then looked at Bu Fang in the distance.

After a moment of hesitation, her eyebrows furrowed as she said, "Bu Fang, are you all right?"

As soon as the Empress heard what Nethery had to say, she was dumbfounded...

'How about me? Were you not even worried for your own older sister?!'
