Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 205 Xiaotian Who Deserves a Beating, Chen Nuo Breaks Through
If left unchecked, the Xiaotian Dog might end up so bold as to climb up to the roofs and strip the tiles. Yang Jian considered this and decided he must properly educate the Xiaotian Dog after returning from his uncle’s place.
Inside the house, the Xiaotian Dog was making a huge pit on the ground.
And the floor of the entire room was covered with holes of various sizes, each filled with soil.
With a thought, two treasured swords suddenly appeared in front of the Xiaotian Dog and fell into the pit. The Xiaotian Dog nodded in satisfaction.
Just right.
Turning around and presenting its backside, the Xiaotian Dog kicked with its hind legs and refilled the dug-up hole, then stomped on it a few times.
With a grin from its mouth, perfect!
He had dug all the other holes in the room and each contained various treasures.
Xiaotian was different from Tian Peng. Tian Peng kept all his magical treasures in the Xian Xian Residence account.
But he believed his room to be the safest place, using one treasure at a time.
No one ever entered his room, so no place could be safer than his dog nest, no matter what.
Not to mention the treasures buried in the ground!
Since he wasn’t going to the Chaos Residence, there was no need to carry his treasures with him.
Kicking his hind legs again and shaking off the dirt, the Xiaotian Dog bounded to the door and ran out.
He completely ignored Yang Jian standing to the side and ran straight out. After a few steps, he turned his head, cocking his eyes sideways to look at Yang Jian.
Impatience humanized in his dog face, "Let’s go! What’s with all the dawdling?"
"You’re not even as decisive as a dog, not crisp at all!"
Yang Jian: "..."
Why did he suddenly feel the urge to straighten out the Xiaotian Dog before paying a visit to his uncle? This dog was truly asking for a beating!
Heavenly Court, the Marshal’s residence.
"Peng, Peng?"
Clad in his Taoist robe, Xiong Daoren gently called out to the still soundly sleeping Tian Peng in front of him.
Tian Peng continued to snore.
"Peng!" Xiong Daoren raised his voice considerably, yet it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.
Xiong Daoren scratched his head, puzzled. He, as a bear, was quite good at sleeping, but he didn’t expect Peng to be an even bigger sleeper!
He was up already, yet Peng hadn’t stirred, and from the looks of it, was still deeply in slumber; truly strange.
Xiong Daoren was troubled.
Being too loud or resorting to pushing felt incredibly impolite, but normal methods weren’t making any difference.
After pondering for a while, Xiong Daoren had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan.
"Peng, it’s time to wake up! Didn’t we agree to go eat at the Chaos Residence today?"
Xiong Daoren moved a bit closer and turned up his volume, resorting to his last trick!
A moment later, then a second.
Hm?
Xiong Daoren blinked, unsure if his plan had failed.
"Wha—what!" Tian Peng bolted upright, his eyes snapping open with a startling sharpness that bespoke a predator fixing on its prey.
"Peng, you’re finally awake!" Xiong Daoren beamed with a grin, as the trick still proved reliable!
So they weren’t going to the Chaos Residence for a meal after all!
Taken aback, Tian Peng felt a twinge of disappointment. He was dreaming of feasting at the Chaos Residence!
That succulent braised meat was about to enter his mouth when he was suddenly woken up!
Oh, his braised meat! Tian Peng began to mourn its loss.
Suddenly, recalling what Xiong Daoren had just mentioned, a light flashed in Tian Peng’s eyes. That’s right!
If you can’t eat it, just go eat it!
With this thought, Tian Peng rolled out of bed and hurriedly put on his casual clothes.
"Follow this Marshal!" Tian Peng called out, not bothering to gather anything and walking out immediately. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Xiong Daoren’s expression turned anxious: "Peng, you haven’t put on your armor yet!"
"What do I need armor for just to eat?" Tian Peng turned around, looking puzzled.
Armor would only make it uncomfortable to feast to his heart’s content.
Eat??
Xiong Daoren stood utterly flabbergasted.
"What’s for dinner?"
"Didn’t you say we were going to Chaos Residence for a meal?"
Xiong Daoren’s mouth twitched as he hastily waved his hands and explained, "Peng, I just wanted to get you up, it’s almost time for the morning court!"
"I’ve got to attend court."
Morning court again! Every time it meant standing in the hall doing nothing and maintaining a rigid posture for half an eternity, it was too much of a torment.
No way, Tian Peng thought resolutely.
"I’m not going! Come on, follow your marshal to Chaos Residence for lunch!"
Ever since the Flat Peach Banquet, he hadn’t been there and he’s been craving it like mad.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dreamt of the braised meat from Chaos Residence—it was the dish he enjoyed during his first Awakening of Divine Skills!
That flavor, even now it was still unforgettable, and he longed for it even more; he had to have it again!
"What about morning court?" Xiong Daoren hesitated.
Tian Peng glared at him and scolded in a hushed tone, "What morning court? We’re giving them too much face already. Showing up for a couple of days as a gesture is enough!"
Tian Peng was brimming with authority, his face full of scorn. He had skipped out more than once or twice already, this time wouldn’t make much of a difference.
"Peng, you’re awesome!" Xiong Daoren generously raised his thumb up high.
Tian Peng nodded proudly and began to instruct Xiong Daoren, "From now on, don’t panic at every little thing. Stay cool."
"Let’s go get some drinks!" Tian Peng gestured grandly. "Yes!"
Xiong Daoren was bursting with excitement and quickly caught up. Since Peng had spoken, what was there for him to worry about? He was already craving the dishes from Chaos Residence to an unbearable extent!
"Right! Bring the Magical Treasure you’ve acquired as well. We’ll use it to pay for the meal. From today on, you need to fend for yourself and don’t think about me picking up the tab again!"
Without heading out immediately, Tian Peng gave a couple more instructions.
"Got it, Peng!"
Watching the newly risen sun, and feeling the cool breeze coming through the window, Chen Nuo sat quietly on the bedstead.
He was checking his Merit Points. His accumulation had become quite significant, and it was time!
No day better than today!
"Ascend," Chen Nuo uttered quietly.
As his words fell, the aura around Chen Nuo surged, and the entire room was filled with a torrent of energy, miraculously without any of it leaking outside.
Crack!
Like a seed breaking through soil, a white flower core formed above Chen Nuo’s head, drawing in crazy amounts of energy.
The flower started to grow petals.
One petal, two petals... nine petals, ten petals...
Chen Nuo, with an air of caprice, used his Merit Points to make the flowers bloom petal by petal.
Not to mention anything else, just the multitude of Golden Immortal-grade Magical Treasures he used to pay Tongtian that time, which he converted into Merit Points, amounted to no small sum, which was enough for him to use.
Eleven petals, twelve petals.
Nine is extreme, twelve is Perfection!
The first flower was complete!
Gradually vanishing, a black flower core appeared—it was the Earth Flower among the Three Flowers.
Similarly, one petal, two petals, three petals...
Without hindrance, there were twelve petals again.
But the Merit Points suddenly dropped a great deal. Chen Nuo was shocked—it needed so much.
And he wondered if there would be enough left to impact the Human Flower?
However, there was no turning back now. Go for it!
Chen Nuo steeled his heart and directed all his Merit Points to the final colorful Human Flower.
One petal, two petals...
Chen Nuo held his breath and focused, watching his rapidly depleting Merit Points—eleven petals, just one step away!
Chen Nuo clenched his fists unconsciously, but his anxiety was of no use.
He wasn’t like Yang Jian, who needed to exert effort in cultivation; it was all about the reserve of Merit Points.
He also casually added to the pile a lot of Magical Treasures that he didn’t need but hadn’t immediately converted into Incense Value.
The Merit Points warmed up considerably!
