Chapter 1648: The Taste of Love

“Who is calling this handsome dragon?!”

Gold Dragon pulled the huge sunglasses down his face with one finger, raised his eyebrows, and looked around. The beautiful woman who was being accosted by him also looked over her shoulder in confusion.

Bu Fang put his hands behind him and walked slowly toward them. He did not expect to find Nicholas the Handsome Dragon, who had broken out of the egg, here. He originally planned to go looking for him, but now it saved him a great deal of trouble.

Gold Dragon’s nature had not changed, still as flirtatious as ever. With the recovery of Earth’s spiritual energy, all kinds of superhumans had emerged, so even though he was a bit of an oddity, he was not so unusual among others and did not really surprise people too much.

Instead, his special ability had become an asset for him to pick up girls. It was the best of times for Gold Dragon.

As Bu Fang approached them, Gold Dragon saw him at once. “You’re the cub who’s calling me?” he said, raising his eyebrows and sizing up Bu Fang. ‘He’s not as handsome and tall as me, his hair is not as cool as mine, and his clothes are so out of fashion… What desert village did this bumpkin come from?’ he thought to himself.

‘Cub?’ Bu Fang froze for a moment. He did not expect Gold Dragon to call him that. ‘This fellow may not recognize me after breaking out of the egg, but… Isn’t he a little too presumptuous?’

Gold Dragon shook his head after sizing Bu Fang up a bit. “Not many people know this handsome dragon’s real name. Say, what do you want from this handsome dragon? I’m very busy.”

At this moment, the few girls who Gold Dragon was hitting on were stunned. They stared at Bu Fang with wide eyes, while the most beautiful girl covered her mouth with her hands.

“Good heavens!”

“Ahhhhhh! Is this real?!”

The girls kept exclaiming. Gold Dragon was feeling smug. He thought that the way he just spoke must have been very handsome, which was why those girls were screaming so wildly. ‘Tsk, tsk…People are too easily fooled by appearances these days…’

“Good heavens! It’s the Great God!”

“I can’t believe this is real… He’s Senior Bu who ate the Indian God and crushed the Holy Army of the Western Church!”

“I’ve finally met him in person! He’s so handsome!”

The girls were very excited. With flushed faces, they ran toward Bu Fang desperately…

“Senior Bu, I’m a big fan of yours! Please give me your autograph!”

“Senior! Senior! I want your autograph, too!”

“Senior, do you still need someone to hug your leg?!”

Such an exciting scene had Bu Fang slightly startled. With a thought, a wave of air was released from his body, gently pushing away the girls who were rushing at him.

On the other hand, Gold Dragon’s face suddenly froze. What was going on here? Why did the plot go on so differently than he thought it would? ‘Aren’t these beauties charmed by my handsome appearance? Senior Bu? Who is that? I’m Nicholas the Handsome Dragon!’

He was a bit exasperated. This was supposed to be his playground. Why did it suddenly turn into a stage for this cub to showboat? ‘What’s so great about this cub? Just look at his face, and you can tell he’s weak!’

Gold Dragon was pushed out of the crowd. His face was a little dark, and he felt so depressed that he was almost going to vomit blood. However, he was only a little sulky and was fine after a while.

‘There are so many wild flowers in the world. Why should I care about these few flowers that have been charmed by the cub?’ he told himself as he put on his sunglasses, straightened his denim jacket, and prepared to leave. The world was a big place, and many beautiful girls were waiting for him out there.

However, just as he turned around, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. “Hmm?” His eyes widened.

“Did I say you could…leave?” Bu Fang’s faint voice rang out.

Nicholas’ hair stood on end in an instant. “How dare you…” He turned to look at Bu Fang, his mouth open and ready to roar. ‘So he wants to fight me? In that case, I need to be louder than him first!’

Suddenly, he became dumbfounded because when he looked into Bu Fang’s eyes, he saw golden light swirling in them, and then a Vermilion Bird with its wings spread and a White Tiger surfaced within those pupils. The pressure emanating from them was so great that it burst his sunglasses.

“You…” Nicholas said incredulously.

With a thump, Bu Fang pointed a finger on his brow, sending him flat to the ground. Bu Fang turned, smiled at the girls behind him, then grabbed Nicholas’ head and dragged him slowly toward the distance.

“Senior Bu is… so handsome!”

“What a character he has! He surely is the man who conquered my stomach!”

“Eh… Who is that guy being dragged away?”

The girls were excited as they watched Bu Fang leave, but none of them remembered who Nicholas the Handsome Dragon was…

…

The news of Bu Fang’s return caused a stir at the supernatural base in Jiangdong. Xiao Ai, Chief Luo, and the others all came out to meet him. Bu Fang’s identity was too sensitive and important for them to take him lightly.

Nethery walked leisurely out of the base holding Foxy and Shrimpy in her arms. She was not worried about Bu Fang. With his strength, few people in the world could hurt him.

Bu Fang nodded to the crowd, then borrowed a separate room from Chief Luo. After dropping Nicholas into the room, he woke the dragon up.

Waking up, Nicholas jumped to his feet, held his hands in a defensive position, and looked at Bu Fang warily. “Little cub, don’t you think I’m afraid of you—”

Bam!

He had barely finished speaking when Bu Fang slapped him and threw him to the ground. “Dammit! How dare you use such a dirty trick?!” His eyes widened.

Another loud bam rang out. Bu Fang sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and gave the dragon another slap, throwing him to the ground once again.

After being slapped several times in a row, Nicholas gave up. He lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking like a fish on a chopping board at the mercy of Bu Fang.

“Now… What are your conditions for your return?” Bu Fang said faintly. This Gold Dragon was probably the most mischievous of all Artifact Spirits.

“Return? What return?” Nicholas continued to play dumb.

With a thump, he was once again thrown to the ground with a slap. His expression became very bitter. “I want wives and concubines. I want to have my own families and my own children,” he said at last, spelling out the conditions to let him return.

Bam!

Bu Fang rolled his eyes and gave Nicholas another slap, causing the dragon to almost sink into the floor.

“Fine… As long as you can make me feel the taste of love, I’ll return!” Nicholas said defiantly. The reason why he would go back to the mortal world was to seek the so-called love.

“The taste of love?” Bu Fang’s eyebrows raised slightly, but he did not slap the dragon this time. After thinking for a while, he gave Nicholas a deep look.

He took out a huge piece of demon dragon meat from the Heaven and Earth Farmland, produced the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, and unleashed the silver-and-red divine flame. The slow pulsating flame caused the temperature in the room to rise instantly.

He blanched the meat, then added various sauces to the wok and began to stew it. His movements were unhurried and skillful.

Gold Dragon got up from the floor and stared with wide eyes. Outside, many people watched through the glass windows of the room. The room that Chief Luo provided to Bu Fang was used for interrogation of suspects—the people inside could not see outside, but the people outside could see the situation inside clearly. They were all a bit confused when they saw Bu Fang cooking inside.

“Senior always cooks at the slightest agreement…”

The demon dragon meat was tumbling in the wok. The sauces had penetrated deep into it, making it very tender. Bu Fang removed it from the wok, then tore it up into fine shreds, laying them on a blue-and-white porcelain plate for later use.

Since Nicholas the Handsome Dragon wanted the taste of love, Bu Fang would give him that.

He began to prepare the other seasonings. He pulled out a blue-and-white porcelain jar containing an enhanced version of Abyssal Chili Sauce, which had a much stronger flavor than the previous version.

What he was going to make now was oiled chili sauce. He chopped the Exploding Flame Peppers into tiny pieces, added the Abyssal Chili Sauce and other ingredients, stirred them well, and then poured the boiling oil over them. The steaming, sizzling oil whetted the appetite of those who saw it.

Next, he diced up a large amount of Purple Garlic and made them into mashed garlic. He then added the shredded dragon meat, stirred them together, and finally poured the boiling oiled chili sauce over them.

The shredded dragon meat immediately wriggled as if they had come to life, while the oil shimmered and emitted a radiant glow.

Just moments after Bu Fang finished cooking the dish, the sound of thunder came from the sky. He frowned, looked up at the sky, and sighed. The thunder was gone as quickly as it had come, and no lightning punishment fell as it had before. Suiren had told him all that needed to be said, and he himself needed to control his own power.

Bu Fang picked up the dish and placed it in front of Nicholas the Handsome Dragon. “Here, this is the taste of love you wanted…”

“How can this be the taste of love?” Nicholas said incredulously. “Do you think you can deceive me because I don’t have much education? Is this the flesh of a female dragon?” he asked.

Bu Fang shook his head. “This demon dragon is… a male.”

“Then how are you going to give me the taste of love?” Gold dragon said defiantly.

“You’ll understand when you eat a mouthful of the dish… It’s called spicy shredded dragon meat.” Bu Fang wiped the water off his hands and looked at Nicholas. The look in his eyes made the dragon uneasy.

Combing his hair with his fingers, Nicholas glanced at Bu Fang, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and grabbed a few spicy dragon meat shreds. The deep-red oiled chili sauce was full of chili flakes and gave off an attractive spicy and oily smell, and when it mixed with the fragrance of the meat, it made the dragon take a deep breath.

“How can a dish taste like love?”

He shoved the dragon meat into his mouth. In that instant, his complexion began to change at a rate visible to the naked eye. His face was calm and pale, then it turned yellow, red, and eventually purple as if he was choking…

His body began to shake violently, his mouth opened, and his lips trembled. Then, beads of tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and his nose began to run.

“Dammit… I want the taste of love, not the taste of spicy food!”
