Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 235: Teaching Wukong a New Dish

The self-produced yield of the Chaos Residence, along with the promised supply from the Jade Pool.

To the Chaos Residence today, nine-thousand-year Flat Peaches were as common as cabbages, but beyond the Three Realms, they were still divine objects slated for chance encounters, not searches. Taking a few back to make a display wouldn’t be too bad.

"Master, this is too much!" Ao Ling didn’t accept them but waved her hand, wanting to refuse.

With so many Flat Peaches, it would be better for the Master to make fresh-squeezed juice; eating them seemed a little wasteful! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Although her time at the Chaos Residence wasn’t long, her enthusiasm for ordinary Flat Peaches had waned; she preferred to use them for a better taste experience.

Seeing Ao Ling refuse, Chen Nuo didn’t take them back but instead asked, "Do we have many Flat Peaches?"

Ao Ling, stunned, answered earnestly, "Yes, a lot."

After all, the backyard was planted with a whole yard of them, and the Queen Mother of the West had given a bunch more.

"Then take them, help your master deal with them. Learn from your senior brother; when he left, he nearly emptied half of the inventory," Chen Nuo said, casually looking over at Sun Wukong as he spoke.

Blushing on his monkey face, Sun Wukong chuckled, "I was just thinking about having something to nibble on when there’s nothing else going on."

As a monkey, he naturally loved peaches, but ever since he came to his master’s place, even his taste had improved.

If a peach wasn’t a Flat Peach, it was barely palatable.

Chen Nuo nodded lightly, not prying further. He was just teasing, and he didn’t lack such things.

"Thank you, Master!" Ao Ling bowed deeply and respectfully accepted the Flat Peaches.

With a thought from Chen Nuo, another talisman appeared in midair. By the force of Mana, the talisman drifted toward Ao Ling and stopped in front of her.

"This is a Teleportation Talisman. If you’re in danger, tear it, and no matter where you are within the Three Realms, you’ll instantaneously appear here."

Chen Nuo briefly explained its function and use.

Both Sun Wukong and Ao Ling were taken aback, amazed that within the Three Realms such a miraculous thing existed that could allow one to disregard distance and space in translocation.

Despite some incredulity, since it was Chen Nuo who made it, they harbored no doubts.

When unreasonable things involved their master, they became quite reasonable.

"Thank you, Master!" Ao Ling’s face lit up with joy, as it was akin to having an extremely life-saving measure.

Currently a Golden Immortal, she could still make a name for herself in the Three Realms if she tried, but at the end of the day, a Golden Immortal was still just an ant. Only the shortsighted would consider the level of a Golden Immortal impressive.

Having read the Dragon Clan’s secret history, she knew just how terrible the depths of the Three Realms could be; remaining alive was most important.

With poor luck, one might encounter a powerful entity with a culinary desire for dragon flesh while simply walking about one day.

It wasn’t as if members of the Dragon Clan hadn’t met their end in such a manner.

With this in mind, Ao Ling readily accepted the talisman; she had no desire to end up as a dish on someone’s table someday.

"Alright, off you go," Chen Nuo said with a slight smile.

Ao Ling bowed deeply with utmost respect, "Master, your disciple takes her leave!"

After speaking, she slowly left, full of reluctance to depart.

Sun Wukong, on the other hand, was hopping and leaping as he saw Ao Ling out, calling out to her retreating figure, "Junior sister, remember to give my regards to your father!"

The Old Dragon King had given him a treasure, which he remembered well; the As-You-Will Golden Cudgel was exceptionally handy when used.

"All set? Come with me," Chen Nuo called out as he saw Sun Wukong return, walking straight into the kitchen.

A flicker of curiosity crossed Sun Wukong’s eyes. He wondered what his master intended to do by going into the kitchen.

Yet he didn’t hesitate and followed right along.

Upon entering the kitchen, Sun Wukong was captivated by the completely new setup and became visibly excited.

"Master! You’ve even replaced the kitchen with a new one!"

Exploring around and marveling at the arrangement, Sun Wukong couldn’t get enough of the place.

To cook in such a luxurious kitchen was pure bliss!

Chen Nuo nodded, "Yes, refurbished it, and I took the chance to update the kitchen as well."

The original kitchen was indeed a bit cramped.

"The change is good, the change is good!" Sun Wukong chuckled, his face looking foolishly delighted.

However, Sun Wukong was also a bit puzzled; he always felt like something was missing.

That’s right!

"Where are Old Niu and Roc? Where are they?" Sun Wukong couldn’t help but blurt out.

Because he had been accompanying the Two Deities just now, he hadn’t had the chance to ask, but now it finally dawned on him.

"Them?" Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow: "They took leave to go home and never came back; I guess they’re still busy with their significant family businesses."

To tell the truth, he was also waiting for these Two Demons to return, especially the Roc Demon King.

The Roc Demon King, who was originally the Great Roc and possessed the Flight Supernatural Power, was in his mind the perfect candidate for a deliveryman, an indispensable part of Chaos Residence’s continued development.

So that was it.

Sun Wukong nodded and didn’t pursue the matter further.

After glancing at the elegant stovetop a couple more times, Sun Wukong rubbed his hands together and asked obsequiously, "Master, can I cook in this kitchen?"

He had finally encountered such a splendid kitchen, and not to cook and experience it firsthand was something he found unbearably tantalizing.

"If you’re not cooking dinner tonight, who else do you expect to do it?" Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

Sun Wukong beamed joyfully, nodding repeatedly, "I’ll do it, I’ll do it!"

This meant his master was allowing him to cook here, how wonderful!

"Just you watch, Master!"

Sun Wukong immediately wanted to roll up his sleeves and start prepping the ingredients, using this opportunity to show his master his progress.

"Hold on a minute, what’s the rush?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "I called you here to teach you a dish."

Teach a dish, Sun Wukong’s face lit up with joy, his master was going to impart a new culinary skill to him!!

"Great, great! Thank you, Master. May I ask, Master, what dish is it?" Sun Wukong asked excitedly, scratching his head and ears.

Every dish from his master was a delicacy, each one learned was a significant advancement in culinary skills.

Chen Nuo did not respond directly but said to himself, "I will teach you this dish, but there is one condition."

"Master, please say it, there’s no harm!" Sun Wukong patted his chest, solemnly promising.

If it meant learning a new dish, he would willingly scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames.

Seeing Sun Wukong’s earnest attitude, Chen Nuo nodded, "I want you to make this dish at the Buddhism’s Dharma feast, and the dish is called..."

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?

Sun Wukong was taken aback - what an interesting name. What was a Buddha? He knew and had even seen a real Buddha, like Maitreya.

Naming a dish after Buddha, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Imagining the sturdy, robust body of Maitreya clumsily climbing over a wall made Sun Wukong find the idea extremely amusing, and he grinned.

"Master, why is it called that?" Sun Wukong asked with a laugh, full of curiosity.

"It’s exactly what it sounds like," Chen Nuo said lightly.

"So it’s a dish that could tempt even a Buddha to jump over a wall?"

Sun Wukong quickly grasped the meaning.

"What kind of dish is it? I think it would be a bit difficult to achieve that effect with just vegetables!"

Sun Wukong shared his opinion.

A dish that’s bland and mild would not have a very strong aroma.

Chen Nuo shook his head, "Who told you this is a vegetarian dish? Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a genuine meat dish."
