Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 207 Hello, Ling!

Ao Ling nodded her head, as she was literate and this poem was simple and easy to understand.

Could the aroma of this dish be so enticing that even a Buddha would break his precepts to eat it?

After all, Buddhists are supposed to abstain from meat!

Ao Ling was shocked, but ultimately, she chose to believe it, because it came from the hands of her master!

With her master’s cooking skills, anything was possible.

As Chen Nuo was preparing the ingredients, his hand paused, and he said, "We have a guest, go and welcome them."

So early? Ao Ling was a bit surprised, but did not hesitate.

"Yes!"

"Peng Bro, this Chaos Residence is much nicer than before!" Xiong Daoren was looking around admiringly, his face full of appreciation.

Tian Peng frowned and reproached in a low voice.

"What are you talking about! When has Shopkeeper Chen’s Chaos Residence not looked good? It used to be simple and solid, now it’s noble and elegant. It’s really hard to tell which is better," Tian Peng said with a straight face, unperturbed.

Xiong Daoren touched his head in confusion and chuckled, "What Peng Bro says is absolutely right!"

Coming out of the kitchen, Ao Ling saw Tian Peng and Xiong Daoren. She was not scared by Xiong Daoren’s Black Bear true form, but rather stunned by the outlandish yellow Daoist robe he was wearing.

She pursed her lips, trying to hold back her laughter, and said, "Welcome, may I ask what you would like to eat?"

This was what her master had taught her to say to customers.

Looking at the pretty young woman in front of him, Tian Peng was very puzzled.

"Who are you? Where is Shopkeeper Chen?"

"My master is cooking in the kitchen," Ao Ling explained.

Master? Tian Peng’s mouth dropped open, an incredulous expression on his face.

"Shopkeeper Chen has taken on another disciple?"

Ao Ling nodded and explained, "My name is Ao Ling, and I am a new registered disciple of my master."

Her words naturally conveyed a sense of pride, not because she was proud to be Chen Nuo’s disciple, but because she was proud to have such a powerful and unparalleled master.

"Ao Ling! Are you from the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas?!!" Tian Peng exclaimed in amazement.

Although puzzled by Tian Peng’s reaction, Ao Ling still nodded and said, "I am the daughter of the East Sea Dragon King."

Whew!

Tian Peng let out a long sigh of relief, glad that she wasn’t from the South Sea.

Having taken ten Golden Immortal magical treasures from the South Sea Dragon King, he guessed that the South Sea must hate him by now.

Tian Peng’s face instantly switched to a smile, and with a bow, he said, "I did not realize it was Sister Ling, please forgive my rudeness!"

"Why do you call me sister when your cultivation is higher than mine?" Ao Ling was very confused.

She couldn’t sense Tian Peng’s cultivation at all. Those who came here were never ordinary people.

You can imagine that her own cultivation was not as strong as this stout and portly man before her.

Tian Peng waved his hand, still with a sycophantic smile, "Anyone who’s a disciple of Shopkeeper Chen, male or female, is called brother or sister, no problem!"

Ao Ling: "..."

Back in the East Sea, she was the youngest dragon, and yet here, she could even become a sister.

Ao Ling knew that this had nothing to do with her, and that it was all due to her master’s prestige.

"You blockhead, you have no tact at all. Why haven’t you greeted Sister Ling!" Seeing that Xiong Daoren hadn’t reacted after quite some time, Tian Peng stretched out his hand and smacked the bear’s head in frustration.

"Hello, Sister Ling!" Xiong Daoren finally snapped out of it and greeted her with a sheepish laugh.

He had just been closely observing the layout of the Chaos Residence, which naturally carried a profound mystery.

Even with the use of his Mysterious Heavenly Formation Armor Divine Skills, he couldn’t see it very clearly.

This just shows that Shopkeeper Chen’s expertise in formations and feng shui was even higher than his, despite having inherited divine skills. Truly worthy of Shopkeeper Chen!

Xiong Daoren secretly admired in his heart. Initially, he had admired Tian Peng the most, but now he had to add another to his list.

Looking at the massive Black Bear Demon, Ao Ling’s eyes held a hint of amazement—she could not see through the bear’s cultivation.

But seeing the fawning behavior of the man and bear, Ao Ling felt helpless and somehow ended up with two new underlings.

Having witnessed Sun Wukong’s strength and culinary skills, Tian Peng was well aware of the potential of Chen Nuo’s apprenticeship.

Even though Ao Ling had just started learning, even though she was not a pureblood of the Dragon Clan.

Under Shopkeeper Chen’s guidance, she could still undergo a qualitative transformation.

"Sister Ling, where are Niu and the others?" Tian Peng asked, eyes rolling, about the whereabouts of the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King.

Ao Ling furrowed her brows, puzzled, "What Niu brother?"

She had only seen beef and bones at her master’s place.

"That’s the Bull Demon King! Apart from Shopkeeper Chen and Sister Ling, are there really no other people in Chaos Residence?"

"No," Ao Ling shook her head.

When she arrived, there was only her master there; the Bull Demon King’s renown, however, was thunderous, a famous Great Demon King among the Demon Clan.

Surprise flickered in her eyes, "He has also been to my master’s shop?"

Tian Peng nodded, explaining, "Not just the Bull Demon King, but also the Roc Demon King, they both worked odd jobs at Chaos Residence before."

Stroking his chin, Tian Peng began to ponder, maybe they were dismissed by Shopkeeper Chen for poor work?

Tian Peng nodded, indeed it was possible.

After all, being Demon Kings, they are used to being crude and brutal; how could they be meticulous in their work?

Shopkeeper Chen wouldn’t care about any status, that bit of strength, to Shopkeeper Chen, is like a thin sheet of paper, easily punctured.

Fame and such are even more so trivial.

Demon Kings doing odd jobs, Ao Ling was absolutely astounded, wasn’t that too incredible?

That Bull Demon King was a famed Taiyi Golden Immortal-level powerhouse, yet here he could only be reduced to an odd-job worker.

Then her father, with his initial-stage Taiyi cultivation, wouldn’t even qualify as an odd-job worker if he came here, would he?

Ao Ling couldn’t help but lament, one can only say, worthy of being my master!

All the things that are hard to believe, once coming to my master, all become reasonable.

Alas!

Tian Peng felt a tinge of disappointment.

The last few times he dined at Chaos Residence, he enjoyed warm conversations with the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King.

These two fearsome Demon Kings weren’t cruel and savage as the legends of the Three Realms suggest, they were quite principled demons, and now he considered them acquaintances.

He had hoped to have another hearty drink today, but to think they had all left.

"Sister Ling, how are your cooking skills?" Xiong Daoren suddenly asked out of the blue.

Sister Ling is Shopkeeper Chen’s apprentice, so it’s expected that her cooking skills are also superb!

After all, Peng Brother has said that among the chefs, Shopkeeper Chen’s apprentice is in a league of his own.

My cooking skills? Ao Ling pointed at herself, surprised, with a touch of embarrassment on her face.

"I’ve only started learning under master not long ago. I’m still just practicing some basic knife work, and haven’t officially started cooking," she admitted.

Ao Ling didn’t pretend to be something she wasn’t but spoke honestly about her situation.

"That’s not right!" Xiong Daoren let out a surprised sound, "Peng Brother told me that Shopkeeper Chen’s apprentice has exceptional cooking skills!"

Hearing this, Tian Peng was so annoyed he felt like slapping Xiong Daoren away.

Didn’t he hear her say that she had just entered the apprenticeship? How could she learn everything all at once?

Do you think she received the Divine Skills awakening like Shopkeeper Chen?

Cautiously glancing at Ao Ling’s expression, he breathed a sigh of relief, grateful there was no change in her demeanor.

Ao Ling wasn’t bothered and smiled slightly, "You must be talking about Brother Wukong!"

"Brother Wukong really does have exceptional culinary skills, and now he is even the head chef in the Heavenly Court’s Imperial Kitchen!" Ao Ling said proudly.

She didn’t feel any imbalance in her heart. If not for Brother Wukong’s recommendation, she would never have had the chance, nor the qualification to become Shopkeeper Chen’s apprentice.
