Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 192 Haotian Awakens to Divine Skills
Haotian held up the cup fittingly, brought it to his lips, with a hint of interest lurking in his eyes as he carefully observed Gold Star Taibai’s expression.
As the cup was raised by Haotian, Gold Star Taibai felt his own heart lift as well.
When it reached his lips, he was even more nervous, holding his breath, oh how he longed to drink it!
What a pity it wasn’t his!
Gold Star Taibai’s heart was exceedingly tormented!
However, he still couldn’t bear to use the Breath of Gengjin in exchange.
Catching Gold Star Taibai’s expression in his eyes, Haotian smiled smugly, savoring the brew with great delight.
As the wine touched Haotian’s mouth, Gold Star Taibai’s aura instantly dulled.
Haotian tasted it sip by sip, which, for him, was an extreme form of torture, yearning but unattainable!
Drinking it in front of him was like a stab to the heart, yet he still couldn’t bear to look away.
Taking a long breath, Gold Star Taibai tried to calm himself down.
Haotian clicked his tongue, and with a mix of casual and intentional wistfulness, he exclaimed, "The crisp sweetness of this wine is truly unique. I have never tasted a wine so delicious and so original."
The momentary calm in Gold Star Taibai’s spirit was instantly stirred.
After a few sips, Haotian gently swirled the peach-colored liquor and posed in an extremely refined and noble manner.
Unable to resist, Gold Star Taibai unconsciously swallowed his saliva again.
"Hahaha!
Haotian couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, pushing another jar of wine toward Gold Star Taibai.
"Here! Look at you, lacking so much presence!"
For him, Haotian, as the esteemed Jade Emperor, a little Golden Immortal Magical Treasure was as light as a feather, a trifle!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Gold Star Taibai’s eyes immediately brightened, and he pulled the wine jar over to his side in an instant.
"Remember, maintain your composure."
Haotian sipped another mouthful and softly reminded him.
Gold Star Taibai nodded repeatedly and opened the lid of the wine jar.
He filled up his cup.
Smelling the fragrance, he fought the impulse to gulp it all down and, adopting a bit of elegance, but Gold Star Taibai’s one sip also took away most of the wine in the cup.
"What a lovely sweetness!"
Gold Star Taibai couldn’t help but exclaim aloud, experiencing such wine for the first time. The flavor was truly exceptional, with both the fragrance of fruit and the spirit of wine, indeed a rare gem among drinks.
Now you know its power, don’t you!
The smirk on Haotian’s face was as if he had brewed the wine himself, and gradually, he also forgot to keep up his decorum, starting to drink deeply and heartily.
In a short while...
Tilting the wine jar upside down, only a few drops trickled out, and Haotian was taken aback.
A whole jar of wine finished so quickly, why did he feel as if he hadn’t drunk any at all?
It must be said, the wine was truly irresistible.
However...
Haotian’s face soured.
Why hadn’t he felt any signs of Awakening yet? Was his luck really that bad?
Haotian was discontented; he was a man who cared about face.
Looking at Gold Star Taibai drinking joyously beside him, Haotian was starting to regret it and was about to ask for another jar of Peach Blossom Brew.
But suddenly, Haotian felt something extra in his mind, his spirit shook, and his face showed sheer ecstasy.
At last, the moment he had been waiting for had arrived!
Chen Nuo nodded with interest.
Has he finally Awakened? This Haotian is really quite disappointing, almost as unlucky as Zhao Gongming; even the first Awakening was so troublesome!
Chen Nuo sighed a few times on his side, while Haotian’s soul felt somewhat adrift.
Suddenly, he saw a glowing treasure bead floating in the center.
And around the treasure bead was a crowd, every one of them with red eyes, the closest few even grappling with each other.
They were in a do-or-die struggle, as if the treasure could only belong to them.
Haotian knew very well that his opportunity lay in that treasure bead—he had to get it, touch it!
With an uproar in his heart and actions to match, he stepped forward, moving towards the center one step at a time.
But there were just too many people, and Haotian lightly touched the forearm of someone in front.
"What are you doing?!" A fierce-looking person abruptly turned around, an unfriendly expression on their face.
This surprised Haotian, he knew everything happening now was an illusion, but it felt so real, not assuming the imposing attitude of an emperor.
Subconsciously, Haotian spoke, "Brother, please show me some respect and let me pass."
The menacing figure hesitated, as if he had never heard such words before, and with a shove to the side, he pushed several slender individuals aside, clearing a path for Haotian.
Could it be this easy? Haotian was somewhat astonished.
He thought it would be troublesome, maybe even inevitable that he would have to fight his way through, but the path was cleared just like that.
"Show me some respect!"
"Excuse me, show me some respect!"
After that, all it took was a bit of lip service.
The various demons and deities blocking his path all made way for Haotian, who reached the deepest part without effort.
He cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and looking at the last brawlers in front of him, Haotian shouted, "Gentlemen! Stop fighting! Show me some respect!"
"Excuse me a moment!"
He thought it wouldn’t work this time, but to his surprise, as soon as his voice fell, the brawlers, who had seemed locked in a mortal feud, simultaneously stopped and stepped aside to let Haotian pass.
Haotian was completely stunned—he really did have a significant presence!
Hesitant, Haotian walked step by step toward the glowing bead while still observing everyone’s posture.
Strangely, no one stopped him.
But he didn’t think too much of it and grabbed the glowing bead in his hand. The inheritance began!
"Master, I’ve finished practicing the Sword Skills!" Ao Ling peeked out from the kitchen at this moment, her tone lively.
"Good," Chen Nuo nodded lightly.
Ao Ling stepped lightly to the counter’s edge, looking at Haotian and Gold Star Taibai, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She pointed a finger at Gold Star Taibai, who was guzzling away, and in a lowered voice, asked Chen Nuo, "Master, is this the Jade Emperor?"
She had grown up just hearing about him and had never seen what the Jade Emperor looked like.
She had not expected him to be an elderly man who seemed so approachable. Ao Ling even felt that the ’Jade Emperor’ before her appeared to be more amiable than her own father!
As for Haotian, his face was blurry with the Awakening of the Divine Skills, and the very ordinary clothes he had changed into on his arrival did not trigger recognition from Ao Ling.
Chen Nuo tugged at the corner of his mouth, good heavens.
This affable Divine Skills effect of Gold Star Taibai was indeed a bit daunting.
Upon hearing Ao Ling’s words, Gold Star Taibai startled back to reality, hurriedly waved his hands, and said with a smile, "I wouldn’t dare! This one here is His Majesty!"
Saying this, he also pointed to Haotian, who was amidst an Awakening, even more puzzled about Ao Ling’s identity.
I see, Ao Ling nodded, and for some reason, she felt somewhat disappointed upon learning that the genial old man before her was not the Jade Emperor.
He seemed like such a nice person!
[Ding! Haotian has consumed Peach Blossom Brew. Will the Awakening of the Divine Skills ’Show Me Some Respect’ be synchronized?]
Show me some respect? A spasm crossed Chen Nuo’s mouth.
What sort of bizarre thing was this? He quickly looked at the description of the Divine Skills.
Show Me Some Respect: Shape your own outer skin, and live with your own face. When actively deployed, your face will be greatly respected! Whenever the key phrase "show me some respect" is uttered, it will produce miraculous effects. The greater the gap in cultivation, the more apparent the effects.
Seems like, this thing isn’t too bad! Chen Nuo glanced at Haotian with curiosity. He hadn’t expected Haotian, who seemed to care so much about face, to actually awaken a Divine Skill related to face-saving power—it was quite interesting.
