"Whitey has mistakenly eaten the God-Slaying Pike from the Hidden Dragon Royal Court . . . It is beginning its evolution process . The process will stretch for an indefinite period . However, it will not be completed soon . Whitey will be going into a deep coma shortly after . Host, please do not worry," the system's solemn voice rang within Bu Fang's mind, stunning him with the information .
Really . . . Did this Whitey spoil its stomach?
Beginning its evolution process . . . for an indefinite period of time . . . So what this system meant was that no one knew when Whitey would wake up?
Bu Fang ran his fingers across his chin as he frowned . According to what the system had mentioned, the Crazy Clothes-Stripping Demon Whitey would not appear any time soon .
He sighed softly as a light flashed across his eyes . After the system's explanatory voice disappeared, Whitey was turning transparent at a rate visible to the naked eye . Soon after, it vanished entirely from everyone's vision .
Yang Meiji displayed a look of astonishment as she saw Whitey vanish from her sight . What was happening? What the hell did Bu Fang do? How did this big block of a metallic lump just disappear like that?
With the disappearance of Whitey, Shrimpy, who was always lying on Whitey's head, looked around with a perplexed face . He seemed somewhat confused at where Whitey went to .
Bu Fang picked up Shrimpy and placed it on his shoulder as he glanced toward Yang Meiji .
"Why are you not going into the kitchen to practice your knife skills?" Bu Fang said sternly .
Yang Meiji's body clenched as Bu Fang's tone had invoked her memories of her previous alchemy teacher .
Bu Fang's grinned as he observed Yang Meiji entering the kitchen . He then walked toward the bronze gate to open it . Rays of sunlight then permeated into the restaurant, instantly lightening up one's mood .
The weather was indeed pretty decent that day .
As the gate opened, the gentle yet cooling morning breeze gushed in through the gateway, making one involuntarily shut their eyes to take a deep breath .
After Bu Fang made his way into the kitchen, he began his usual routine of preparing Blacky's and Nethery's breakfast, the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs and Dragon Blood Rice .
Yang Meiji greedily inhaled the sweet aroma that permeated the air . She then irresistibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva as the dishes were done .
Bu Fang then served the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, as well as the Dragon Blood Rice to the girl and dog respectively . He was suddenly stupefied as he realized that there were two figures charging in furiously at a shocking speed from outside the gate .
These two figures had a unique gracefulness to them .
"Good morning, Owner Bu!" Nangong Wan greeted Bu Fang as she removed the cloth revealing the exquisite beauty beneath it .
The other figure had alluring curves, coupled together with a busty figure . It was the sorceress alchemist, An Sheng . This woman had a terrifyingly stunning figure as her busty chest swayed continuously in all directions . She smiled merrily towards Bu Fang and said, "Good morning, Owner Bu . "

Bu Fang wrecked his brain, and a suspicious look slowly unveiled upon his face . What did these two women want . . . Why were they giving Bu Fang such odd looks?
Not far from there, Nangong Wuque lazily strolled in . Upon entering the restaurant, Nangong Wuque gave Bu Fang a sly grin . That grin caused the latter to have chills down his spine .
Just as Bu Fang retrieved his scrutinizing gaze from Nangong Wuque, Nangong Wan and Sorceress An Sheng dashed toward Bu Fang's side .
Bu Fang was utterly shocked . What the hell were these two women planning?
"Owner Bu, you must be tired from work, come and take a rest here . "
Sorceress An Sheng gave a wide smile as she pulled along Bu Fang's arm, pinning him onto a chair .
Bu Fang frowned .
At a distance, Lord Dog and Nethery were eating their food while focusing on deducing what was happening . It seemed . . . intriguing .
Nangong Wuque brought along his mischevious smile as he found a seat . He then raised his legs and sat in a somewhat uncouth manner as he looked intriguingly toward Bu Fang .
Nangong Wan's beautiful face had a hint of solemness in it as she gazed at Bu Fang sternly .
Sorceress An Sheng also stared at Bu Fang seriously .
"Just say what you guys need . . . " Bu Fang said calmly as his gaze swept across the two ladies .
Sorceress An Sheng's and Nangong Wan's eyes met, and a spark could be seen within their eyes .
The next moment, Nangong Wan let out a deep sigh and said toward Bu Fang: "Owner Bu! I heard you were looking for an apprentice . How about you consider taking me in?"
Bu Fang was stunned in place as the words came out of Nangong Wan's mouth . No one would have thought that two of them came this early in the morning just to ask him about such a trivial matter .
Sorceress An Sheng similarly blinked her eyes in anticipation, with a hint of excitement blazing within them .
So these were the two female disciples that got delivered to his doorstep?
Bu Fang's lips twitched slightly . . .
Unfortunately, he only had the capacity to take in one more apprentice and did not know which of the two ladies was more suitable . He would positively welcome anyone that wanted to be a chef's apprentice . However, he still had to take in someone with a decent amount of talent in cooking .
"There is only one slot left, so only one of you two can be chosen," Bu Fang said .

Just as he finished his sentence, a drastic change in the restaurant's atmosphere could be felt almost instantaneously .
A tense aura permeated throughout the restaurant as if they were about to draw their swords and go into a battle .
Nangong Wan and Sorceress An Sheng stared at each other as if invisible ripples were radiating from their eyes .
"Let us do it this way . Both of you will return home to cook a dish . Bring it tomorrow to let me taste it . " Bu Fang looked at both the ladies and added on, "I will give an all-rounded appraisal to determine my next apprentice . "
Sorceress An Sheng and Nangong Wan both nodded their heads thoughtfully . This is the test Owner Bu gave them?! Since it was a test, they would definitely give it their best shot . It was a battle between two women!
A flame sparked in their eyes as they each found a spot to sit down and order some food .
At a distance, Nangong Wuque lifted his mouth and gave a smirk .
. . .
Night fell .
The kitchen of the Nangong Residence was completely lit up . Many servants were surrounding the exterior of the kitchen as they all looked curiously into it, mumbling to each other .
Nangong Wuque leaned against a pillar and stared helplessly toward the kitchen .
Nangong Wan had already been in the kitchen for one whole night . No one had any idea on what the hell she was doing . Not even Owner Bu would spend such a long time to cook one dish .
What the hell was that brat doing?
Rumble!
A shocking sound resounded throughout the place, causing everyone gathered behind the door to inhale a deep breath and take a few steps back .
Nangong Wuque's mouth also twitched slightly .
"Why is she so stupid? What in the world is she doing?"
Nangong Wuque shook his head slightly and stealthily made his way toward the kitchen . He felt interested and wanted to know what exactly happened in there .
However, the kitchen door opened before Nangong Wuque successfully made his way over .
A thick layer of smoke emerged from within, causing its surroundings to become seemingly hazier . Within the haze, a graceful figure gradually appeared .

Nangong Wuque, together with the rest of the servants, stared with their eyes wide opened .
In the next moment, Nangong Wan's figure became more apparent as she held a piping hot dish in her hands .
She successfully prepared it?
Everyone present was astonished by the flowery cat-like Nangong Wuque .
This lady had never done any chores, and she actually succeeded in cooking a dish?
This was indeed rather impressive!
Nangong Wan seemed somewhat proud as she then looked toward Nangong Wuque and said:
"Big brother, come and taste your little sister's culinary skills . "
Nangong Wuque stared in shock as shivers ran down his spine . This brat actually called him big brother . . . Something was wrong!

Sorceress An Sheng was a renowned genius alchemist of her generation and naturally had her own position within the Star Tower .
There was no activity outside of the tightly shut chamber that solely belonged to Sorceress An Sheng .
Behind the doors, Mu Bai and Jiang Ling stared intently at each other . Sorceress An Sheng invited both of them, and neither of them had any idea what was going on .
After a long while, just as both of them were preparing to leave, the door of the secret chamber finally opened gradually . Its interior was lit up by candlelight . Moreover, a dish's fragrance was permeating through the air as well .
Mu Bai and Jiang Ling had a stupefied look on their faces . Why did this prodigious alchemist start cooking all of a sudden?
If this was to be made known to Grandmaster Gu He . . . he would definitely be utterly enraged! Is this brat planning to abandon alchemy for culinary?!
"Come, have a taste of this lady's skills!" Sorceress An Sheng spread her messy hair and gave a side glance toward Mu Bai and Jiang Ling .
This expression . . . It gave Mu Bai and Jiang Ling chills, and an ominous feeling surfaced in their hearts .
. . .
Day two, Cloud Mist Restaurant .
Bu Fang blinked his eyes as he looked at the lively Nangong Wan and Sorceress An Sheng .
However, Nangong Wuque was absent on this day .
Bu Fang calmly sat down on his chair . Sorceress An Sheng and Nangong Wan felt somewhat constrained as they both simultaneously looked at Bu Fang .
In front of Bu Fang, two different dishes lay . Both of them had a decent appearance and looked rather appetizing . . .
Bu Fang looked at them and smacked his lips .
The system similarly underwent a diagnosis on Nangong Wan and Sorceress An Sheng's talent in the culinary arts . The results were that Sorceress An Sheng indeed had a slight advantage, talent-wise . . .
Although Nangong Wan's talent in the culinary arts was still pretty decent, when compared to Sorceress An Sheng, she was admittedly a level lower .
Nonetheless, Bu Fang still gave them a chance to have a fair fight .
That was the reason why Bu Fang picked up his chopsticks, aligned them, and went ahead to get some of Nangong Wan's dish .
Her dish this time around was Red Braised Meat . Although the size of the portions was somewhat inconsistent, the overall color of the dish still looked somewhat fresh . The chopsticks landed on a piece of meat .
Bu Fang frowned slightly . This piece of meat was overcooked, and with just a pinch of the chopsticks, Bu Fang was able to determine its flaws . He then placed the Red Braised Meat into his mouth and chewed a few times .
As he continued to chew, Bu Fang couldn't help but frown .
This texture . . . This taste . . . was like poison .
Bu Fang's face twitched for a few moments, and he then looked at Nangong Wan coldly .
"Tell me . . . Did you let Nangong Wuque taste your dish the night before?"
Nangong Wuque had definitely tasted that dish . Otherwise, why would he be absent this day?
This Red Braised Meat could only be described as . . . salty as hell . After rinsing his mouth with Spiritual Spring Water, Bu Fang then shifted his gaze toward Sorceress An Sheng's dish .
With just a look, Bu Fang frowned again .
These two women were rather ambitious towards cooking . One chose to cook Red Braised Meat, whereas the other chose to prepare Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs . . .
These two dishes have a rather high level of difficulty .
Looking at Sorceress An Sheng's dish, Bu Fang smacked his lips and extended his chopsticks . He picked up a piece .
