Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The arrival of Niu Hansan and Flowery shocked a lot of people on Planet Immortality, but only for a short moment. After all, a lot of almighty experts had descended here in the past two hundred years. They quickly regained their composure.

After sensing the aura of the restaurant, the two of them flew directly to it. When they landed in front of it, all the immortals who were waiting in line turned their eyes on them. These immortals did not know Niu Hansan and Flowery, but their powerful aura made them wary.

They went straight to the restaurant. As they approached the door, however, they were stopped by Dugu Wushuang.

“We want to see Owner Bu,” said Flowery.

After hundreds of years, she had grown more mature and beautiful, and her every move was attractive. This was the charming aura emitted by a Seven-colored Sky Devouring Python that had reached the ultimate level.

Wushuang’s eyes were cold, and he was unmoved.

Niu Hansan came up to him and said with a smile, “Little brother, looks like you are Owner Bu’s new waiter. Let us in. We are Owner Bu’s old acquaintances.”

“Get in the line,” Wushuang said indifferently, glancing at both of them.

Niu Hansan froze. ‘This dude is really stubborn…’

The immortals around them looked like they were waiting for a good show.

Flowery frowned and cast her gaze into the restaurant. However, before she could call out, Bu Fang’s voice came through the door.

“Wushuang, let them in.”

Wushuang nodded, then stepped aside and said, “Please come in.”

With his eyes narrowed, Niu Hansan took out a spirit fruit and tossed it to Wushuang. “That’s more like it. Here, little brother, take this spirit fruit,” he said, smiling.

Wushuang took it with a cold face. The abundant spiritual energy in the fruit made his pupils narrow instantly. Niu Hansan grinned. This was the product of his hybridization studies, and he did not give it to anyone.

They stepped through the door and entered the restaurant. Once inside, the familiar style was so comfortable to Niu Hansan that he took a deep breath.

Yang Jian glanced at them and said nothing. Bu Fang, on the other hand, sat on a futon under the tree with a cup of hot tea in his hand, calmly watching Niu Hansan and Flowery as they entered the restaurant.

Niu Hansan froze the moment he saw Bu Fang. ‘What happened?! Why has the once vigorous Owner Bu grown so old? With his cultivation base, how could he have become so old? Am I hallucinating?’

“Owner Bu…”

Niu Hansan spoke anxiously, but Bu Fang cut him short with a wave of his hand.

Flowery pursed her lips, and her gaze was very complicated. She could not believe what Bu Fang had become. ‘There’s no aura of spiritual energy in him… He has become a mortal. The fearsome man I know has fallen into this state…’

Niu Hansan fell silent. Ever since the Heaven and Earth Farmland was separated from Bu Fang and began to wander the universe, he knew that something bad had happened to Bu Fang. However, he did not expect at all that Bu Fang, who used to be incredibly powerful, had actually become a mortal.

‘Moreover, Owner Bu’s life force seems to have reached a point where it is completely depleted… Dammit!’

Niu Hansan began to rummage through his dimensional storage, taking out one spirit fruit after another, only to throw them all away. After a while, he became frustrated because he found that none of the fruits he had produced with hybridization could help Bu Fang’s current condition.

“You don’t have to search any further. This is the path I have chosen for myself,” said Bu Fang.

Niu Hansan stopped his movements, then flew to Bu Fang’s side and cried miserably. “Owner Bu… What would I do if you died of old age? I feel so bad now… No one will ever talk to me about hybridization again… I feel really bad…”

Bu Fang and Flowery were both taken aback and speechless.

“Now, stop being such a weepy creature. Get up,” Bu Fang said, glaring at Niu Hansan.

The cow-headed man rose to his feet with sniffles and tears. Flowery walked over and looked at Bu Fang with complicated eyes.

“You’ve come out of seclusion? You’re just in time. I have something for you to take out for me,” Bu Fang said.

That gave Flowery pause.

“I didn’t think I’d be able to see you.” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly as he shook his head. The wrinkles on his face trembled a little with his movements.

“Why do you have to be like this? You can stand at the top of the universe,” said Flowery.

“How am I not standing at the top of the universe now?”

Bu Fang gave Flowery a playful look. She was slightly stunned by his reply.

Bu Fang chose to walk his own path and finally came to a world of his own through it. As such, he might already be above the universe. It was a mystical feeling.

“Men are infinitesimal but also great…” Bu Fang said, then added, “Wait here.” With that, he turned and went into the kitchen.

Everyone was stunned. Was Bu Fang going to cook?

Wushuang sighed. It was the first time he had ever seen Bu Fang like this. Could that moment really be coming? His heart grew heavy, and he felt it hard to accept.

He had learned about Bu Fang’s deeds from the mouths of many immortals. It turned out that Bu Fang was a true almighty expert in the universe, a terrifying existence that could wipe out Planet Immortality with a single thought. However, he now seemed to be an old man who was about to die and was telling others his last wishes.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen. It was not loud, but it made everyone’s heart heavy. The fragrance wafted out and lingered in the air.

Flowery sat down in a chair and waited quietly. Niu Hansan was slumped over a table, weeping. Yang Jian finished his fried rice, but he was not leaving. He felt as if something big was going to happen today, so he decided to wait.

The immortals lining up outside also fell silent, and they all stared into the restaurant. Everyone felt that something unimaginable was about to happen.

Wushuang sat cross-legged with his sword on his back, his eyes red.

The restaurant was quiet except for the sounds of Bu Fang’s cooking and Niu Hansan’s sobbing. Flowery wished she could slap Niu Hansan now. Couldn’t he be more serious?

Time went by slowly. At last, the sounds of cooking stopped coming from the kitchen. Everyone became a little breathless.

Bu Fang walked slowly out of the kitchen, his back stooped. In his hand, he held a rosewood lunch box. He came to the dining area, set the box on the table, and exhaled.

All eyes fell on the lunch box, while Flowery and Niu Hansan stared at it with a complicated look on their faces.

Bu Fang removed the lid and took out one steaming dish after another.

“Take this… Dragon Blood Rice to Void City and give it to Nethery… She should have it on the day she comes out of seclusion.”

Bu Fang brought out the glittering fried rice. Although he had lost his cultivation base, he could still cook dishes that contained spiritual energy with his cooking skills.

Flowery nodded.

“This is Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs… Help me give it to Lord Dog in the Chaos Space. He hasn’t had this dish in a long time. I’m afraid he has lost some weight.” The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly, then he went on, “And Er Ha’s spicy strips… It must be hard for him that he didn’t get to eat spicy strips for so long…

“Here’s a portion of beef meatballs. They’re just ordinary meatballs, but I don’t think Foxy would mind.

“As for Shrimpy… Give him this jar of wine for me.”

Flowery’s face grew unsightly as Bu Fang brought out one dish after another. These were all dishes she was familiar with, but why did Bu Fang have to bring them out at this moment?

“I don’t want to… You can do this yourself.” She frowned and shook her head in refusal.

Bu Fang gave her a look and said, “Stop that now.”

That made Flowery shudder. After a long pause, she sighed and shook her hand. A flash of light appeared and took away all the dishes. Then, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant. As she stepped through the door, she turned back and said seriously to Bu Fang, “Just remember, if they want more, I’ll come back to you.”

Bu Fang nodded with a faint smile.

Niu Hansan sniffled. “Owner Bu, what about me?” he asked.

Bu Fang glanced at him, then raised his hand and waved to Eighty, who was lying listlessly on Whitey’s head.

Eighty’s eyes lit up. It hopped and appeared in front of Bu Fang the next moment. Rubbing its head, Bu Fang said, “Take care of Eighty for me… It’s probably the best ingredient in the world today.”

‘Eh?’ Eighty’s body instantly stiffened. ‘I’m not the best ingredient! I’m just a chicken!’

Niu Hansan took Eighty by the neck and nodded repeatedly. “I’ll become the greatest Father of Hybridization between heaven and earth! Just leave it to me!” he promised solemnly.

Bu Fang arched his brows and hesitated for a moment. Somehow, he was not quite sure about this decision when he heard that. But he did not say anything in the end. Then, he turned to Dugu Wushuang, who came up to him.

“Master Bu.”

“You don’t have to watch over me anymore… It’s time for you to go out and experience the world… There’s a big world out there, and your sword can be stronger,” Bu Fang said. “As long as you hold on to your Sword Path, sooner or later, you will be able to reach the height I once was.”

Wushuang’s eyes turned a little red, and he nodded gravely. “I will!”

In the distance, Yang Jian sighed. He could see Bu Fang’s life force starting to dissipate. Bu Fang was once a Chaotic Saint, so his life form had jumped out of the Primitive Universe and was not in the bondage of this universe. As a result, when his life force dissipated, he could not enter the Transmigration.

Bu Fang raised his head, and with an indifferent look on his face, he said, “The restaurant is closed from this day forward. You may all leave now.”

His words shocked everyone.

In the distance, Whitey, whose body was covered with cracks and rust, stood up. A long-lost gleam of light flashed in its mechanical eyes.

Then, as the crowd watched in bewilderment, Bu Fang and Whitey disappeared at the same time.

“Ten thousand flowers bloom with a thought…”

As Bu Fang’s faint sigh lingered in the air, beautiful flowers bloomed on the strong little tree. In a flash, the whole restaurant was filled with dazzling light, and holy flowers were blooming under everyone’s feet.

Then, the flowers fell and drifted away in all directions with the restaurant as the center…
