Chapter 14: Fire Realm Eatery, “The Black Butcher”

Luo Feng watched the wine jug and roasted meat in Moro Sa’s hand, and couldn’t help but smile, “You’ve been living a rather carefree life lately. Even on the way back here, you couldn’t bear to put down your wine and meat.”

“Carefree?” Moro Sa took a large bite of meat, shaking his head repeatedly. “Not carefree at all! Master, you told me not to cause trouble! For this entire era, I haven’t dared to provoke any problems at all! It’s been so stifling; I’ve been constantly enduring!”

“So it’s been stifling?” Luo Feng pressed.

Moro Sa nodded repeatedly. “Hu Yang City is a mixed bag of forces, and there are even some battle maniacs who deliberately pick fights! According to my temper, I would have crushed them with one hand a long time ago. But Master’s orders surpass everything! I wouldn’t disobey them even if I died! So, I can only endure, turning big problems into small ones, and small ones into nothing.”

Luo Feng was curious. “You turn big problems into small ones, and small ones into nothing?”

Born from the Great Dao of Destruction, the World Beast was inherently fierce, and Luo Feng was curious how he could endure.

“I just slightly injure them, making them feel the difference in strength! Then, I make them pay a little fine, that’s all,” Moro Sa quickly explained. “I’m not causing trouble. If I didn’t fight back after being hit, I’d only be bullied even more.”

Luo Feng nodded. “I understand. A coward would be eaten alive in Hu Yang City, leaving not even the scraps.”

“Master is wise,” Moro Sa said with a smile, unable to resist taking a few more sips of wine.

“Back home, you didn’t like to drink much,” Luo Feng remarked curiously.

Moro Sa’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, “Master, you’ve come to the Origin Continent, but you haven’t properly tasted the Origin Continent’s local wines yet, have you? Some of the wines here taste much better than those back home.”

“Let me try,” Luo Feng said, taking the wine jug and tilting his head back for a drink.

As the wine entered his stomach, he immediately felt his soul and consciousness nourished, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

“Interesting,” Luo Feng said in surprise. “After coming to the Origin Continent, I only had a cup of Chun Mi wine at the Yan Feng Pavilion. That wine had a more restrained flavor, but this wine of yours is domineering. It even has some effect on my soul and consciousness.”

Luo Feng’s soul and consciousness were incredibly powerful, yet he still felt a sense of comfort and relaxation.

If a Void True God were to drink this, they would probably feel so comfortable that they would float into the heavens.

Moro Sa nodded. “The newly born beings of the Origin Continent can absorb the power of heaven and earth, so they don’t need to eat or drink at all. That’s why their delicacies and wines aren’t meant to replenish energy, but rather have some special effects.”

“Either very strong olfactory stimulation, or some benefit to the divine body and soul consciousness, making the True Gods very greedy,” Moro Sa said.

Luo Feng nodded.

He was aware of this. Ordinary food and wine on the Origin Continent weren’t worth much; only special food and wine could fetch a high price. They usually had miraculous effects like cleansing the divine body or nourishing the soul.

“A jug of this wine costs three Chaos Crystals! I have to drink it sparingly,” Moro Sa said, putting it away with great care.

“Food and wine are so appealing? Let’s go, Moro Sa. Take me to have a look,” Luo Feng said.

Moro Sa’s eyes lit up, and his mouth opened wide, swallowing a huge piece of roasted meat in one gulp. Then, he said, “Rest assured, Master. In this era, I haven’t learned much else, but I know quite a bit about the food and wine of Hu Yang City. I’ll take you there right away.”

“But…” Moro Sa said with a flattering smile, “I’m quite poor, so you’ll have to pay the bill later, Master.”

“Look at how stingy you are. Your pocket money all comes from me,” Luo Feng said. “Alright, lead the way quickly!”

“Let’s go!” Moro Sa said decisively, leading Luo Feng out of the cave dwelling.

…

Under Moro Sa’s guidance, after flying for a while, Luo Feng and he arrived at an ordinary eatery called “Fire Realm Eatery.” The eatery wasn’t that big, and it was inconspicuous in Hu Yang City.

“In this era, I’ve eaten a lot of delicacies, and this place’s Fire Realm Feast is my favorite, and it’s not too expensive,” Moro Sa said.

Luo Feng looked up.

The name “Fire Realm Eatery” was incorporated into the array, making it quite eye-catching.

“Black Butcher, come out quickly!” Moro Sa shouted, explaining to Luo Feng at the same time, “Master, Black Butcher is the owner of this eatery. I’ve been here many times and am very familiar with him. Moreover, he came to the Origin Continent by breaking through the Cycle of Reincarnation.”

“Came to the Origin Continent by breaking through the Cycle of Reincarnation?” Luo Feng asked in surprise.

A fat man with a beard and hair like steel needles took the initiative to come out to greet them. The fat man was covered in scales, had fangs, and had a pair of fiery eyes. His eyes looked like burning stars, and he walked out with great enthusiasm, humbly and respectfully saying, “It is an honor for my Fire Realm Eatery to have a venerable one come here.”

He was an Eternal True God!

Since his ordinary little eatery opened, he had only encountered a handful of Eternal True God customers.

“Quickly prepare your famous Fire Realm Feast,” Moro Sa urged.

“This way, please,” the fat man, “Black Butcher,” immediately led the way.

Inside one of the small buildings in the Fire Realm Eatery, Luo Feng and Moro Sa took their seats.

“This Fire Realm Feast requires me to prepare it personally, so please wait a moment, venerable one,” Black Butcher said respectfully before leaving. At the same time, a waiter came in and served some wine and side dishes first.

As soon as the waiter came in, Luo Feng noticed him and was surprised. “It’s you, little one?”

The waiter was none other than the youth named Suo Zi from the tribe that Luo Feng had saved.

“Greetings, venerable one,” Suo Zi hurriedly bowed respectfully.

“Hahaha…” Moro Sa laughed. “I’ve been here many times, and I often have this Suo Zi serve me. Master, you saved them back then, and now you’ve met them at the eatery, it’s quite a fate.”

“It’s quite a coincidence,” Luo Feng nodded. “How did you end up working at this eatery?”

Suo Zi was very grateful to this kind Eternal True God. After all, without Luo Feng, their entire tribe would have died back then.

“Reporting to the venerable one, after Suo Yun and I settled down in Hu Yang City, we also needed to earn Chaos Crystals, whether it was to pay for living expenses or to cultivate, we needed Chaos Crystals,” Suo Zi said. “I was lucky that the owner took a liking to me and recruited me to be an apprentice.”

“This kid has quite a talent for cooking,” Moro Sa said. “Having good cooking skills is a good way to truly take root in Hu Yang City.”

Suo Zi immediately said, “I’m learning from the owner.”

“Your owner is quite famous in Hu Yang City. He came to the Origin Continent from the legendary Primal Universe by breaking through the Cycle of Reincarnation, and he was already skilled in cooking. He also learned some cooking techniques passed down in the Origin Continent… Combining the two, your owner’s cooking skills are considered unique among the Void True Gods,” Moro Sa praised. He could now be considered a foodie.

Suo Zi nodded and said, “I’ve been working very hard to learn. If I don’t study hard and get kicked out, I’ll have to risk my life outside the city.”

Luo Feng listened from the side and asked, “What about the brother who settled down in Hu Yang City with you?”

“Suo Yun has become an ordinary guard for a large family,” Suo Zi said in a low voice, “Risking his life.”

Luo Feng understood.

An ordinary guard for a large family was just cannon fodder! They were the ones who had to rush forward for all the dirty and hard work.

“They are both considered talented to have found work,” Moro Sa said. “From what I’ve observed, about half of the True Gods in Hu Yang City have to go outside the city to hunt alien beasts.”

Luo Feng also knew this information.

Most of the middle and lower level beings of the Origin Continent made a living by hunting alien beasts. There were also many people responsible for collecting and processing alien beast materials, which had formed a huge industrial chain.

As for service-oriented jobs in a large city? The requirements were very high. Without enough talent and strength, they wouldn’t be qualified to get these service-oriented jobs.

While they were chatting, the eatery owner, “Black Butcher,” walked in and with a wave of his hand, a lavish banquet appeared, with various dishes and food. The most eye-catching was the huge fiery red meat in the middle.

The meat in the middle exuded a fiery aura.

“Venerable one, I became a True God by following the path of the God of Cooking in my Primal Universe,” Black Butcher said with a smile. “Later, after becoming a Void True God and breaking through the Cycle of Reincarnation to come to the Origin Continent, it was difficult for me to take root in Hu Yang City even with my cooking skills. So, I started from scratch, working as a butcher in Hu Yang City, starting by helping to slaughter alien beast materials, and gradually understanding the characteristics of alien beast materials. After five thousand eras of hard work, I finally achieved something and opened this Fire Realm Eatery.”

“Venerable one, please taste my Fire Realm Feast,” Black Butcher said with great confidence.

In the long history of the Origin Continent, there had been many experts from the three thousand Primal Universes who had broken through the Cycle of Reincarnation. Each Chaos State had some of them.

In order to promote his business and attract customers, Black Butcher had tried every means possible!

“Let me try it,” Luo Feng began to taste the food.

Black Butcher watched nervously from the side.

If an Eternal True God liked it and came often, that would be a living signboard! His eatery would become more famous, and he would be able to attract more customers.

Luo Feng tasted everything one by one. The side dishes and wine were only considered good.

But when he ate the huge piece of meat in the middle, Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

“Master, you have to eat a big bite for the flavor to be strong,” Moro Sa said. Luo Feng listened and opened his mouth, and one-third of the huge piece of meat immediately flew out, quickly shrinking and flying into Luo Feng’s mouth.

The meat was very big, and it was easily chewed and swallowed in one bite.

“Boom!”

Luo Feng only felt flames spreading from his abdomen to his entire body, as if cleansing his entire divine body. His soul and consciousness had a warm feeling.

“Eating the Fire Realm Feast is like swallowing a fire world. You will feel your divine body and mind transform,” Black Butcher said from the side. “You will feel as if you have been reborn.”

Luo Feng glanced at him with a smile.

Reborn?

It wasn’t that mysterious! But it was indeed very comfortable.

If it were someone with a weak divine body, they might really feel a sense of transformation in their divine body and mind, a sense of rebirth.

“How does the venerable one find it?” Black Butcher asked nervously.

“Not bad,” Luo Feng praised.

Black Butcher could only nod. “This is a delicacy I created myself. The top restaurants in Hu Yang City have culinary techniques passed down by Chaos Masters or even God-Kings. Mine can only be considered a minor skill.”

Luo Feng took a sip of wine and said, “Cultivation is the foundation. You came from the Primal Universe, so you shouldn’t be able to cultivate bloodline cultivation methods.”

“That’s right,” Black Butcher nodded. “I can only follow the path of laws, but it’s too difficult to comprehend the source of laws! Even though it’s much clearer to sense the laws on the Origin Continent, I’ve encountered some bottlenecks and haven’t been able to break through, so I thought about seeking external forces. I thought about opening an eatery to earn some wealth to buy some resources to assist my cultivation.”

“But opening an eatery is also quite difficult,” Black Butcher said.

“Your Fire Realm Feast is good. Keep up the good work,” Luo Feng said. He ate half of it and left the rest for Moro Sa. Moro Sa ate it up quickly and soon finished it all.

After paying 10 Chaos Crystals, Luo Feng and Moro Sa left.

Black Butcher led the waiter Suo Zi to the outside of the eatery.

“Suo Zi,” Black Butcher said, looking into the distance, “Do you think this venerable one will come again in the future?”

“The venerable one seemed to like the Fire Realm Feast,” Suo Zi said.

“I hope so.”

Black Butcher said with emotion, “Only if an Eternal True God comes here often will I be able to attract enough True Gods to come here!”

He was also an invincible existence in his Primal Universe, but after coming to the Origin Continent, he had suffered setbacks. Strength? In large cities, Void True Gods were everywhere! People like Mo Yu Hu had to go on adventures in the wild.

Black Butcher was very proud in his heart. Adventures in the wild could be deadly at any time, and he didn’t want to. He started as a butcher and had accumulated a lot of old customers in his eatery in Hu Yang City today.

“I have to make my eatery bigger so I can earn more and have a better chance of becoming an Eternal True God!” Black Butcher turned and walked towards the eatery.

In Hu Yang City, even a small eatery owner might have an extraordinary background.

Because it was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers and had too many experts, it became even more difficult to stand out.
