The Earthy Ugly Fish! This fish was as ugly as its name suggested . Its body was riddled with warts and fierce, sharp spines . Whenever it took a breath, a thick and sloppy liquid would ooze from its gills .
When Bu Fang closely examined the fish, he could not help but raise his eyebrows . This fish was so ugly that no one would want to eat it .
However, since this fish was bait for the Heaven-Swallowing Spiritual Spot Fish, it was not unwanted .
Bu Fang twirled the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, then he quickly cut apart the ugly fish . Not too bad; that fish was somewhat like the ones in his previous world! Although the fish was ugly, the texture of its meat was extremely delicate . The meat also gave off a nice smell .
This explained why the Heaven-Swallowing Spiritual Spot Fish would eat the ugly fish . As it turned out, the quality of the ugly fish's meat was excellent, making it really good food .
Bu Fang tied a piece of the meat to the tip of the fishing hook; after that, he gently exhaled . The preparations were finally completed .
With the fishing rod and the remaining bait on his shoulders, Bu Fang walked back toward the Sunset Lake .
The sky gradually became darker, and the downpour continued . It was unknown when it would cease .
Bu Fang held the fishing rod and faced the vast and turbulent lake . The wind blew at his long hair and feathered robe, causing the latter to flutter wildly . Bu Fang was not wet, however . The raindrops were stopped by an invisible force before they could land on him .
With a wave of his hand, a black shadow suddenly appeared . It was a small leaf boat that was now of the surface of the turbulent lake .
Bu Fang took a step forward and climbed aboard the small boat, carrying his fishing rod with him . He expressionlessly gazed at the vast and cold lake . A violent mental energy suddenly spread out . The leaf boat was like a stone that had just fallen atop a calm lake, causing ripples to spread outward .
A rumbling sound echoed .
Suddenly, an unknown force began to propel the small boat, causing it to slowly move forward .
Bu Fang sat cross-legged at the hull of the boat, holding the fishing rod . He had yet to start fishing because he did not feel he had reached an appropriate location yet .
The perpetual rain was like a closed curtain . His lone figure atop the small boat was all that could be seen braving the heavy downpour . He kept drifting toward the center of the Sunset Lake .

At that same moment, shadows appeared at the bank of the lake . The strong wind whistled, causing the girl's blue dress to flutter . Her petite figure was very prominent under the wind .
She frowned as she watched Bu Fang gradually disappear into the rain .
"What's that chef going to do?" She whispered softly .
"Madam Lan Ji, the Sunset Lake is in front of us . In the rain, the lake is extremely dangerous . Shall we still proceed forward?" asked a Golden Armored Guard .
When it rained, the Sunset Lake resembled a scary beast with its maw wide open . This made people respect the lake, and they did not dare venture too close to it .
"Go . The Saint Son issued an order . We must kill that chef . "
Lan Ji countenance was cold . She raised her beautiful legs and stepped onto the surface of the lake, then she walked toward its center .
The Golden Armored Guards glanced at each other but said nothing . With the heavy weapons on their backs, they began to walk atop the rolling waves of the lake . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

The Glutton God City had been bustling with excitement since nightfall .
Although the night was a wet one, the long roads were still noisy . It was as though the chefs, who had been hidden in the restaurants, had come out once more . These people each held a candle in their hands, and they carefully protected the flames from the rain . They were walking slowly toward the center of Glutton God City .
A very splendid architectural tower was situated there . This tower was really tall and brightly lit with beautiful oil lamps . It had ten stories; each one was brightly lit . The tower was square-shaped and hollow in the middle, wherein a vast square was built . This square had a huge yard with countless seats and a tall, jet-black stone stele .
The stone stele's design was ancient, and there were numerous names recorded on it . Mysterious spirit energies revolved around the stele . This was the Tablet of Gluttony of the Valley of Gluttony . The names recorded it belonged the top chefs in the Valley, who were at least first-grade chefs .
No second-grade chefs were allowed to be on the list .
The big tower that housed the stele was the Glutton God's Building of the Valley of Gluttony; it was the largest building there . It was even famous across the Hidden Dragon Continent . As a ten-story building, the tower was really vast .

This made the dense crowd around it look like ants .
These people were entering the tower with expressions of anticipation . They were awaiting the opening of the feast .
Atchoo!
Xiao Yue, who had donned a white robe, walked out of a secret room . His aura was still a little feeble, but his face was no longer pale . After a half a day of rest, he had finally recovered a bit of strength .
He had found Xiao Ya, but he did not know where Bu Fang was .
Bu Fang had already told him, so he wasn't surprised . He was just curious about Xiao Ya, who Bu Fang was very concerned about . He took the young girl out of the house and went to the tower .
That night, the opening ceremony of the Glutton God's Banquet would take place . Almost every one of noble status was to attend the solemn ceremony . Although the opening ceremony was not the most important part of the Glutton God's Banquet, most found it more interesting .
In the Noodle King Establishment, Ouyang Chenfeng had just closed for the day early . He had donned a chef robe, and with a gentle smile on his face, he joined the crowd walking toward the tower .
Wenren Shang, who was still holding onto his bamboo gourd, stumbled out of the restaurant and headed toward the tower . He also intended to attend the opening ceremony .
Many stores along the long roads of the Valley of Gluttony were closed . Nobles and chefs from these stores walked out with imposing dispositions and headed toward the tower .
The atmosphere in the entire Valley of Gluttony now seemed somewhat different .
On the spacious square of the Glutton God's Building, countless tables were lined up, and circular high platforms floated in midair . Those floating platforms had also been arranged neatly .
From a distance, they looked like countless twinkling stars .
These positions had been prepared for the nobles of the great forces in the Hidden Dragon Continent, while the bottom positions were for the guests .
The colossal Glutton God's Building was beyond imagination .
Heavenly Spring's Saint Son also arrived at this time, with his hands clasped behind him . He had donned a golden armor that sharpened the true energy emanating from his body, making it seem like a spear that sought to pierce through the heavens and the earth .

Behind him was a young girl in red . She had a beautiful face and luscious lips .
They entered the Glutton God's Building and under the guidance of the waiter, heading to a high floating platform .
There were precious fruit and elixirs filled with spirit energy atop the floating platforms . They had been neatly placed together with a gourd of sparkling, excellent wine .
Heavenly Spring's Saint Son landed on a floating platform, sporting a peaceful expression . He strode forward casually, sat at the table, and crossed his legs .
"Setting Sun Jade Spirit Wine! Smelling it is enough to tell how delicious it is . It is truly unspeakable," said the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son with a faint smile .
A small distance away, someone else smiled in return; it was the Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son, Liancheng, who was seated on another platform, also with his legs crossed . He poured the crystal-clear wine into a tumbler, and it began to reflect the sunlight, sparking vividly . The Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son shook the tumbler gently and also praised the wine incessantly .
Some bells rang out, and a lady—who had donned a thin, white silk dress, which made her resemble an angel—landed on another platform . Her bearings were extraordinary, like an angel, which made people respect her .
When the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son and the Heaven's Pivot's Saint Son saw this lady, they gave her slight bows .
"Welcome, Celestial Saintess . " Then, Liancheng raised the wine tumbler and began to cheerfully speak to the veiled girl .
On the other platform, the Heavenly Spring's Saint Son had a passionate expression, and with a smile on his face, he nodded .
The Celestial Saintess' black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her eyes were charming and intoxicating . Toward the two Saint Son's attempt at conversation, the Saint Daughter did not reply at all, and her gaze remained cold .
Experts from many forces within and outside the Hidden Dragon Royal Court began to arrive .
Pill Palace's Master, Luo Danqing, had also taken a seat . He had arrived in the company of the Master of the Grand Barren Sect, the Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and a group of powerful experts in the mainland .
As soon as this group arrived at the Glutton God's Banquet, the atmosphere at the venue seemed to improve .
The diners and local chefs from Valley of Gluttony, who were already seated, were also enthusiastic .
That night was only the opening ceremony of the Glutton God's Banquet, not the main banquet, yet so many people had been looking forward to it . This was because they could get to see the top chefs in the Valley of Gluttony . Their talent at cooking made people greatly admire them; even the Saint Sons and Daughters also wanted to please these chefs .
There was even a special first-grade Chef in Valley of Gluttony .
The Glutton God's Banquet was not just a festival; it was, in fact, a great baptism ceremony mainly for assigning ranks on the Tablet of Gluttony of the Valley of Gluttony .
In the Valley of Gluttony, there were a lot of chefs who practiced hard . They had been looking forward to the Glutton God's Banquet for an opportunity to showcase their talents . Once their rankings increased to the top of the list, they would shock the world .
Not only was this their chance, but it was also their reunion; hence, everyone was serious .
Rumble!
After everyone had taken their seats, thunder rumbled in the sky .
At that moment, the Glutton God's Building seemed to wake up .
A figure slowly approached from the center of the square . He was hunch-backed and had donned a baggy brocade robe . He also had a solemn expression on his face .
When this person, who had his hands clasped behind his back, reached the center of the square, everyone became silent . When everyone in the tower saw who it was, they sucked in breaths of cold air .
"The Great Elder of the Valley of Gluttony, Chu Changsheng . "
. . .
A little boat had been drifting forward slowly for an unknown amount of time, and the downpour had reduced to a drizzle . One could not tell at what point the winds reduced and the waves disappeared .
Sitting on the boat with his eyes closed, Bu Fang looked to be asleep . His breathing was uniform and smooth .
When the boat came to a stop, Bu Fang opened his eyes . He let out a breath and stood up, causing the water underneath the boat to form ripples . He swung his hands, and the fishing rod's line was cast far from him . With a soft splash, the baited hook plunged into the water .
Bu Fang calmly stood there, quietly fishing .
More ripples began to form as shadows appeared atop the misty lake .
