Chapter 1310 - An Outstanding Bargain!

Chapter 1310 An Outstanding Bargain!

The night was still, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.The Yellow Spring Little Restaurant in Forbidden Soul City was brightly lit. There were not many people inside, and the leaves of the Path-understanding tree were rustling.

Lord Dog lay under the tree, snoring softly. What came out of his mouth and nose when he breathed was rich Nether energy.

Nethery had gone to You Ji. In addition to borrowing money, she went to chat with her. After all, they were sisters.

This time, Nethery also had to pay for the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine. She didn’t have to pay for other dishes, but the System was very firm that, except for Bu Fang, anyone who wanted to drink the wine would have to pay. It was the same even for those who were close to him, like Lord Dog and Nethery.

Bu Fang wasn’t bothered by that, however. With Lord Dog’s strength, he could easily find one million Nether Crystals. Moreover, with his nasty nature, he must have dug away the treasures of many experts. He would have no trouble forking out one million Nether Crystals.

As for Nethery... You Ji was her sister, and as a Prison Overlord, she naturally could find one million Nether Crystals. Therefore, Bu Fang didn’t get too caught up in this issue.

At the moment, he and Lord Dog were the only people in the restaurant.

Bu Fang held the wine glass and looked with flickering eyes at the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine in it. He knew that the effect of the wine on him was meager and that it could hardly help him break through, but he still wanted to give it a taste.

“I’ll take it as my compensation for making this wine...”

The wine was colorful and bright. Bu Fang brought the glass to his lips and finished it in one gulp.

The first flavor he tasted was spicy, which was so strong that he felt his scalp go numb. In a flash, the heat swept through his whole body like a storm. After that, the richness of the wine exploded.

Initially, he thought a glass of wine was not much, but after he drank it, the tiny stream of wine seemed to swell in an instant, turning into a rushing torrent that surged and rocked in his mouth.

The feeling was hard to describe.

The taste was excellent. It was the best wine Bu Fang had ever drunk. Just the flavor alone was worthy of one million Nether Crystals.

Bu Fang pursed his lips because the bouquet was still lingering in his mouth, and he savored it with a frown on his face, enjoying the taste brought by the wine.

Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Bu Fang, who had just downed a glass of wine. An amused look immediately filled his eyes.

Suddenly, Bu Fang’s face turned red. He opened his mouth, exhaled softly, and shook his head. For a moment, he felt the world was spinning around him.

‘No wonder even Great Saints couldn’t withstand a glass of this wine. Its alcohol content is indeed extraordinary.”

Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath. He got up and felt that his body was limp...

When Lord Dog saw Bu Fang’s look, he grinned as if he was laughing at him in silence. Of course, Bu Fang, at his current condition, couldn’t see Lord Dog’s mocking laugh.

Bu Fang felt the world spin around him and saw all kinds of images, which made him widen his eyes. He saw skyscrapers, streets full of traffic, flames that danced in the kitchen when someone was cooking...

The familiar images left him slightly dazed.

‘These seem to be the scenes of Earth from my previous life?’

Bu Fang froze for a moment. Then, supporting himself with the walls, he headed upstairs and entered his room. Reeking of alcohol, he crawled up to his bed and fell asleep.

...

The next day, when the sun was high up in the sky and the world was bright, a group of people had gathered in front of the Yellow Spring Little Restaurant. Their eyes were wide as they stared at the tightly shut door and exchanged glances.

These people were all experts of aristocratic families sent here by nearby major powers, and each of them had prepared one Million Nether Crystals to buy a glass of wine. They had waited since early morning, but the restaurant was still closed even though the sun was high up in the sky now.

“What is going on? Why is the restaurant still not open?”

“I thought the restaurant opens six hours a day? Half a day has passed now... Dusk will soon be upon us if it still doesn’t open!”

“The owner went back on his word!”

The experts of aristocratic families in front of the restaurant talked noisily with one another. However, no one could figure out what happened. They knocked on the door, but there was no response. They thought of breaking into it, but when they recalled that the restaurant was guarded by the Earth Prison Dog, they gave up the idea.

Everyone was itching to get the wine. Since it could improve the cultivation base of Great Saints, the effect on them, who were all Little Saints, would naturally be even better.

They could only continue to queue up.

As a result, an interesting scene appeared in Forbidden Soul City. The heads of famous aristocratic families from various major cities of Earth Prison could be seen quietly standing in line in front of a little restaurant. When the residents of Forbidden Soul City saw this, they all felt incredulous and kept pointing at them. That made these family heads flush with embarrassment. They had never been watched by people like they were animals! However, for the sake of the wine, they choked back their anger.

They continued to wait. Soon, dusk settled in, and then the moon climbed back up the sky again, shining gently and blanketing the world with a silver light. The family heads, who were still waiting in lines, waved their hands in boredom as they sat cross-legged on the ground.

“Let’s leave now... It seems the restaurant will not open today.”

“I wasted my whole day waiting here...”

“He’s giving us attitude!”

The heads of aristocratic families were filled with anger, but they had no choice other than to leave the restaurant.

After that, the news in the restaurant had quickly spread through the entire Earth Prison.

...

Rumble!

After one day, the Great Saint Tribulation had gradually come to an end, and the experts of forbidden lands, who had been watching the tribulation, retracted their glances.

...

In the Nether King Palace of Earth Prison...

Nether King Er Ha burst out laughing as he sensed the soaring power in his body. He thought that buying a breakthrough with one million Nether Crystals was an outstanding bargain. ‘Bu Fang young man is a fair seller!’

His heart was filled with joy, and he began to search around the Nether King Palace. Before long, he gathered one million Nether Crystals again, and he prepared to buy another glass of wine from Bu Fang.

As for what he did and said when he was drunk... he had selectively forgotten them. He actually woke up wondering why his spicy strips were gone.

...

In Ying Long’s residence...

Prison Overlord Ying Long slowly opened his eyes. Lightning arcs were jumping around his body, and his aura had grown several times stronger, which made him appear extremely fearsome.

With a dragon roar, he suddenly soared into the sky and turned into an enormous Ying Dragon. He had a long body like that of a divine dragon, a pair of wings on the back, and dark golden scales.

His roar kept spreading and rang through the whole Earth Prison. He was very excited. At his age, he never thought that he could break through again, and it was all because of a glass of wine. It was a wonderful feeling.

“The wine is worth its high price.”

Ying Long transformed back to his human form. Holding the Hollow Eye Staff, he looked excited and amazed as he turned his gaze in the direction of Forbidden Soul City. He held back his excitement and didn’t go to the city at once. Instead, he calmed down and began to stabilize his cultivation base.

...

Meanwhile, the various forbidden lands in Earth Prison had received the information from the experts they sent out.

The breakthroughs of Prison Overlord Ying Long and Nether King Er Ha were all because of a glass of wine that came from a little restaurant in Forbidden Soul City.

The news had even spread to Nether Prison. However, as Nether Prison experts were still celebrating their victory in the Netherworld’s Tournament of the Great Path, they scoffed at the news and thought it was fake news deliberately created by Earth Prison to win back some faces. They didn’t take it seriously at all.

The forbidden lands of Earth Prison were naturally not like that. Each of them sent out an expert to Forbidden Soul City, who was ordered to bring back a glass of wine, and each of these experts brought several million Nether Crystals. Whether or not the rumor was true, if there was such wine, there was no harm for them to give it a try.

For a moment, a storm swept across Earth Prison, and various powers began to move, sending one expert after another to Forbidden Soul City. The once quiet and remote city was once again bustling with activities after the semifinals of the tournament was over.

...

Bu Fang opened his eyes and yawned. His clothes were a little messy, and so was his hair. However, he felt his body, soul, and mind were much clearer now.

“Oh? My cultivation base...” He paused for a moment and examined his strength. Previously, there was only one spinning whirlpool in his spirit sea, but now there were two. Did this mean that his cultivation base had entered the Two-revolution Little Saint Realm?

“I thought dishes are ineffective in improving my cultivation base?” Bu Fang was surprised. He never thought that after drinking a glass of wine, his cultivation base would actually break through a level.

In any case, it was a good thing for his cultivation base to break through because that gave him more confidence.

Upon sensing that he was dirty, he stepped into the bathroom. Hot water sprayed out of the shower-head, and soon, steam filled the whole bathroom. The dim yellow light shone on the steam and made the atmosphere somewhat languid.

After taking a shower, Bu Fang walked out of the bathroom. He was clad in a bathrobe, and his hair was wet, dripping with water. He rubbed his hair with a towel, but it was still a little wet. However, he didn’t bother with it anymore. Instead, he put on his Vermilion Robe. The sun was up, and it was time to open the restaurant.

He had a good sleep. He felt that his mental force seemed to have improved slightly after sleeping.

Bu Fang went downstairs and came to the kitchen. Whitey’s mechanical eyes flickered, and he patted it on the belly.

“Another beautiful day...” Bu Fang said with an expressionless face.

After practicing his knife techniques for a while in the kitchen, he came to the dining area.

“You’re awake, Bu Fang boy,” said Lord Dog in an amused tone as he lay under the Path-understanding Tree, looking at Bu Fang, whose hair was still wet.

“I’ve slept a little too long, but the wine tasted really good. It’s worthy to be the fine wine made with the Nine-leaf Yellow Spring Grass,” Bu Fang nodded and said.

He didn’t notice the teasing tone in Lord Dog’s words, and he thought the amused look in Lord Dog’s eyes came from something he did when he forgot himself in his cup. At this moment, he could only keep a calm and straight face so that it would not be too embarrassing.

With a creak, Bu Fang opened the restaurant’s door. Sunlight shone through it and pooled on the ground. He slightly narrowed his eyes as the sunlight dazzled him.

He paused for a moment when he saw the long line outside the restaurant, then he said with a straight face, “Oh? So many people... You all came really early.”

Outside the restaurant, when the heads of aristocratic families who had waited for so long saw Bu Fang open the door, they felt like crying.

“Early? Early, my ass... We’ve been waiting here for a whole day and a whole night!” said a family head, glaring at Bu Fang. His eyes were bloodshot and looked extremely terrible and ferocious.

One whole day and one whole night?

That gave Bu Fang a pause. Then, he seemed to recall something, and the look on his face turned slightly odd.

‘I’ve slept for one day and one night after drinking a glass of wine? I thought I’ve only slept for a night? No wonder Lord Dog looked at me with such a strange expression.’

“Queue up properly. The little restaurant is open now,” Bu Fang said calmly with a straight face. After that, he turned and walked into the restaurant.

The family heads exchanged glances and watched as he left. They felt pain in their teeth at Bu Fang’s calm look.

“This guy had slept one whole day and one whole night! Didn’t he feel embarrassed at all?”

However, now was not the time to think about this question. The heads of aristocratic families crazily rushed into the restaurant.

Bu Fang stood at the kitchen door and turned around. He looked at the people at the front door and said indifferently, “Queue up properly and do not push others.”

...

Outside Forbidden Soul City, a clump of black smoke hovered in midair, where a figure loomed.

“It seems that... this chef was the target Chief asked me to assassinate before?”

The shadow was lost in thought for several moments.

“I tried to assassinate him before, but now, I need to buy wine from him... This is embarrassing. Chief simply didn’t consider our feelings when assigning tasks...”

...

The ground crumbled, and skeletons crawled out of it, closing in on Forbidden Soul City. These skeletons all had blue ghostly fire twitching in their eye sockets.

A silver skeleton stood in front of these skeletons. At the moment, it was touching its chin with a skeletal hand, thinking.

Suddenly, the ghostly fire in the silver skeleton’s eye sockets twitched. It looked up and saw a clump of black smoke hovering in the sky. “A guy from the Black Temple...”

“A skeleton from the Cave of the Fallen Gods...”

There seemed to be some rivalry between the two.

Suddenly, both of them turned to look in a direction at the same time, and they saw a figure in bright red robes approach from the distant horizon, striding with her long legs as her curvy waist swayed enchantingly.
