Chapter 9

Indeed! Bu Fang is just that petty!

Because he is not a gentleman to begin with. Although he has the grand dream of becoming a culinary god standing at the top of the food chain in the mystical world, this does not change his character as a petty Earthling who seeks revenge for every slight.

"Please enjoy your meal." Bu Fang said expressionlessly, looking at Sun Qixiang, who was salivating at the sight of the fried rice.

"Get lost! Don't bother me while I'm eating." Sun Qixiang waved his hand impatiently, signaling Bu Fang to leave.

Bu Fang pursed his lips and thought to himself, you're tough, huh? Let's see how tough you are after you take the first bite of the fried rice.

Sun Qixiang ignored Bu Fang and was about to start eating. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and turned to Xiao Yan Yu, who had put her veil back on and looked dignified and graceful. "Beauty Xiao, I ordered a lot. Do you want to join me?"

Xiao Yan Yu frowned, feeling somewhat hesitant. Thinking of the delicious fried rice, she really wanted another serving, but she didn't have enough spirit crystals, and the shop's rule was to eat only one bowl.

Now that someone was offering to share, it seemed like a good option.

However, before Xiao Yan Yu could answer, Bu Fang, sitting on a chair, spoke calmly.

"Customers who order fried rice can only eat it themselves. If they share it with others, it will be considered a violation of the shop's rules, and they will be blacklisted."

"Ha! Do you think I, Sun Qixiang, will be afraid? Blacklisted? If I want to eat, I don't care about your rules. I'll have you beaten to a pulp first, then force you to cook! A mere little shop, do you really think you can get away with this?"

Sun Qixiang glared at Bu Fang, furious. He was about to have lunch with the beautiful Xiao, and this kid had ruined it. Unacceptable!

"Oh, I forgot to add, not only will you be blacklisted, but if she eats it, she will be blacklisted too. You may not understand the implications of being blacklisted now, but... feel free to try it out." Bu Fang said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan Yu completely gave up the idea of eating Sun Qixiang's fried rice.

Sun Qixiang snorted, not caring about Bu Fang's threat. Would a noble from the capital be afraid of a little restaurant chef's threat? Blacklisted? What a joke.

Sun Qixiang said nothing more, looking at the four dishes in front of him, which were visually, aromatically, and tastefully perfect. His appetite was immediately whetted, especially by the golden fried rice that almost blinded him.

He scooped up a spoonful of fried rice with a blue-and-white porcelain spoon. The rich aroma was so intense it seemed to explode in his nostrils, intoxicating him.

Without hesitation, he put the fried rice in his mouth. The pearl-like grains rolled between his teeth and tongue, each one distinct, as if giving his tongue a unique massage.

"Delicious!"

Sun Qixiang's eyes lit up, and he kept scooping and eating, his mouth already full of fried rice.

Bu Fang watched Sun Qixiang eating with such enthusiasm, and a slight smile appeared on his expressionless face.

Xiao Yan Yu, who had been watching Sun Qixiang's fried rice, suddenly felt a chill from Bu Fang. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of his stiff smile.

Eh? Hmm? He... he's actually smiling?

Xiao Yan Yu was slightly surprised. Since entering the shop, Bu Fang had always given her the impression of a cold and proud chef. It was hard to imagine this stoic man smiling.

"Ah!!!"

Just as Xiao Yan Yu's attention shifted to Bu Fang, Sun Qixiang, who was eating happily, suddenly paused. His narrow eyes widened.

His face turned from white to red, and then to purple in a second!

With a scream, Sun Qixiang opened his mouth wide, and the rice grains sprayed out. He jumped around, hands clutching his throat, and his tongue kept sticking out!

"Spicy... so damn spicy!"

Sun Qixiang's eyes watered, feeling as if his body was being twisted by the spiciness. He began to doubt the world.

How could there be such terrifying spiciness in the world!

Water! Find water! Sun Qixiang ran around the shop, trying to find water to relieve the spiciness. The burning sensation made his mouth almost numb, and tears streamed down his face.

Bu Fang sat on a stool, watching Sun Qixiang run around calmly.

Suddenly, Sun Qixiang tried to rush into the kitchen, as there was no water around, and the kitchen seemed to be the only place to find it.

Just as Sun Qixiang was about to enter the kitchen, a mechanical arm appeared, grabbed his clothes, and threw him out.

"Kitchen is off-limits to outsiders."

Bu Fang's iron robot assistant stood at the kitchen door, speaking in a mechanical tone.

Xiao Yan Yu and Xiao Xiaolong watched the scene in shock.

Xiao Yan Yu suddenly turned to Bu Fang. Could all this be his doing? Was it revenge? It was a bit scary... adding such spicy peppers to the food that could make someone doubt the world, it was inhumane!

"Master... water!"

Sun Qixiang's lackey was quick to react. As soon as Sun Qixiang started jumping and shouting for water, he rushed out and brought in a bag of water.

Gulping!

Sun Qixiang drank the water in one go, which somewhat relieved the spiciness. Fortunately, he hadn't eaten much, so the spiciness didn't last long.

"You're asking for death! How dare you tamper with the fried rice!" Sun Qixiang, furious, threw the water bag on the ground.

Bu Fang sat on the chair expressionlessly, pointing at the food. "If you don't finish your food, it will be considered wasteful, and you will be blacklisted."

"Blacklisted?! Don't mention the blacklist to me! I'll make sure your shop can't stay open today!" Sun Qixiang, angry, clenched his teeth and pointed at Bu Fang with his paper fan.

"Smash this shop!"

Sun Qixiang ordered his lackey.

The lackey immediately perked up. He loved smashing things, so he skillfully picked up a chair and was about to smash it on the table.

However, before he could smash it, he felt his arm break.

With a scream, a metal robot appeared behind him, extending its metal hand and easily breaking the lackey's arm.

"Troublemaker! Blacklisted, never allowed to enter Fang Fang's shop." The mechanical voice was serious and stern.

The lackey was grabbed by the robot, thrown out of the shop, and landed outside, face down, moaning in pain.

"You dare to fight back?! Do you think I can't call a hundred people to tear down your shop in a minute?!"

Sun Qixiang trembled with anger. In the capital, a commoner dared to resist him.

"Xiao Bai, strip him and throw him out. He wasted food and should be fined." Bu Fang stood up, yawned, and said to the robot Xiao Bai, adding, "Today's business hours are over, time to close."

"You dare to ignore me? I'm a third-rank battle maniac, killing you is like squashing an ant!" Sun Qixiang roared, his colorful robe fluttering, and a faint glow enveloped his body.

Bang!

Robot Xiao Bai slapped Sun Qixiang, who was gathering his energy, on the head, stunning him and making him fall to the ground, his gathered energy dispersing.

Then, rip! tear!

"Damn! You really are taking off my clothes?! Do you know who I am?! I... I..."

Bang! Xiao Bai's mechanical eye flashed, and he slapped Sun Qixiang again, knocking him out.

Then Sun Qixiang's clothes were stripped off, and all his valuables were taken. Xiao Bai gently threw him out, and he landed in a perfect parabolic arc at the shop's entrance.

Sun Qixiang was stunned, feeling cold all over.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps, and a pair of golden dragon-skin boots appeared in front of him...

Zhao Ruguo looked at the naked Sun Qixiang, who was only wearing a loincloth, and clicked his tongue.

"Wow, our great Sun Qixiang, how did you end up in such a sorry state after just a meal?"
