Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 128 Expansion of Chaos Residence

Thinking of this, Chang’e stopped dwelling on it and began to focus on enjoying the delicacies, though, of course, she did so with relative grace.

In the Alchemy Room of the Palace of the Polestar, Golden and Silver Boy each sat on a small chair beside the Alchemy Furnace, fanning the ventilation opening with a cattail leaf fan.

The heat made sweat run down their faces.

At that moment, Silver Horn’s little face was crumpled, staring absentmindedly at the fiery furnace.

After a few moments, he spoke up, "I thought we could rest today, but to think we have to make elixirs again, how annoying."

"Yeah," Golden Horn nodded, looking dejected.

"The master clearly said we could rest today, so why the sudden change? Constantly fanning this furnace every day, my hands are getting sore."

Silver Horn’s eyes darted about, and then, wearing an excited expression, he looked around and whispered, "Big brother, let’s sneak out and play, shall we?"

"Have you gone mad?" Golden Horn cried out in surprise, then quickly covered his mouth.

Leaning forward, he whispered in a scolding tone, "Run away? If the master finds out, we’ll definitely be punished."

Silver Horn chuckled, "Big brother, I didn’t say today."

"Doesn’t the master often go into closed-door cultivation? And when he does, it’s for a long time. We can take this opportunity to have a good time in the Earthly Immortals Realm, then come back before the master leaves his seclusion. It’ll be seamless!"

Golden Horn furrowed his brow, looking like a little adult, but inside he was also getting excited.

Being cooped up like this was getting to him too.

"Alright," Golden Horn finally agreed, as long as they got back in time not to disrupt the master’s plans.

As Golden and Silver Horn plotted their little secret plans, deep within the Palace of the Polestar, Lord Taishang slowly opened his eyes.

He was well aware of what the two were thinking and didn’t bother to interfere since this was all part of his own scheme.

In Lord Taishang’s usually undisturbed gaze, there was now a trace of astonishment. He had not expected his plan to fail?

He had secretly planted a formation on Tian Peng that would ensnare his mind upon seeing Chang’e, all for today’s purpose.

Yet, the formation had been triggered, but its effect had been broken free from.

Although he had lowered the formation’s power to avoid being too conspicuous, it shouldn’t have been so easily escaped.

Even with Tian Peng’s frail mind, it should have worked without fail. What could have gone wrong?

Lord Taishang fell into deep thought.

In the East Sea, the most prosperous and extensive among the Four Seas, the calm sea surface surged with a whirlpool, pulling up a figure from the waters.

Ao Ling gazed at the familiar surroundings with determination in her eyes. With a light tap, she shot upwards toward the sky, heading for the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

The Great Immortal Monkey who had given them the Flat Peach from the East Sea Sea, what kind of strength would his master have?

Ao Ling thought as she flew, her father often said she was the hope of the Dragon Clan, and she must not let him down!

Looking up at the sky, today was the day of the Flat Peach Banquet, and a hint of bitterness showed on Ao Ling’s face.

Her Dragon Clan didn’t even have the qualifications to attend such a banquet anymore.

Beyond the Four Seas, they were no more than glorified servants basking in the limelight.

With that in mind, Ao Ling clenched her fists. She was determined to become a strong figure the Dragon Clan could rely on!

After some time, Ao Ling finally arrived above the Mountain of Mind and Heart, unsure if the path indicated by the Great Immortal Wukong was accurate.

Without pondering further, Ao Ling entered the forest.

"Isn’t today the day the Heavenly Court is hosting the Flat Peach Banquet?" Chen Nuo stretched lazily within the Chaos Residence, utterly bored.

He wondered if the hotpot he gave to Wukong had come in handy.

Chen Nuo furrowed his brow, deep in thought. With this hotpot, surely the reputation of the Chaos Residence should spread far and wide, right?

Chen Nuo tapped his fingers on the table, thinking that all he needed now for a rapid increase in strength was fame. As long as he could use this opportunity to make the name of the Chaos Residence known throughout the Three Realms,

the Immortals would surely come to see it. With more people, his strength would advance much more quickly.

Only after he achieved the strength to beat Tathagata single-handedly could he wander carefree.

Right!

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Nuo, as he suddenly remembered something—he still had an unused Expansion Order.

When he renovated the restaurant, wouldn’t he gain even more face when those immortals visited?

Previously, each one who looked down on his establishment was like a slap in the face, it wasn’t as if he wanted his storefront to be so shabby.

Just as he was about to use it, a figure suddenly burst through the door.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nuo nodded secretly; this was a new face.

Dragon Girl Ao Ling had a trace of weariness on her face—after all, Great Immortal Wukong’s oral directions had been too hasty.

It had taken her a long time to find the place, and upon seeing Chen Nuo, Ao Ling was startled.

Could there really be such a handsome man in this world!

As a goddess of the Dragon Clan, she often encountered various pursuits from young dragons of the Four Seas, and dragons generally had excellent forms when they took human shape.

But compared to the young man before her, those people were like mere specks of dust to the vast starry sea.

Without realizing it, Ao Ling had become enchanted.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?" Chen Nuo asked with a smile.

Though the woman before him was only a Golden Immortal in cultivation, her glittering clothes and accessories clearly indicated she was someone with money.

Chen Nuo always gave special treatment to such individuals.

"I..." Ao Ling came back to her senses, embarrassed upon realizing that Chen Nuo was addressing her, and she started to stammer.

It was her first time losing composure in front of a stranger, and it was all because her own concentration was lacking.

How could she let this happen!

Ao Ling’s cheeks flushed a deep red, like a ripe apple.

Chen Nuo shrugged his shoulders, not bothering to pay attention to her discomfiture. There was no helping it—his charm simply took some getting used to.

Taking out the Expansion Order he had acquired, Chen Nuo began to ponder his next move.

Once expanded, the land would be thrice its original size, allowing his small diner to instantly transform into a full-fledged restaurant.

Armed with his knowledge from a previous life, Chen Nuo quickly came up with a plan and submitted his ideas to the system.

He clicked ’Use’.

Boom, boom, boom!

Chaos Residence seemed as if it was collapsing like an enemy formation.

Ao Ling’s attention snapped back to the present as she felt a violent shaking beneath her feet, her face full of astonishment.

What was happening?

Before Ao Ling could react, Chaos Residence began to crumble and disappear, bit by bit.

But as it vanished, something new was taking shape; slowly, Chaos Residence underwent a metamorphosis and emerged like a phoenix reborn.

Chen Nuo watched as the suddenly enlarged living room brightened his spirits, now devoid of the old tables and chairs and the simple decor.

The entire hall had an air of refinement—neither bare nor too extravagant.

It had an inviting ambiance that seemed to instantly evoke a sense of comfort in those who saw it.

The walls were adorned with calligraphy and traditional paintings, emanating deep cultural vibes. Chen Nuo intended to make Chaos Residence the number one restaurant in Chaos; how could he not add touches of sophistication?

The tables and chairs were intricately designed and neatly arranged.

Of course, Chen Nuo didn’t forget to place holes in the center of each table for charcoal stoves.
