Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 241 Ao Ling Demonstrates Divine Skills
There was no other way, Ao Guang had been pushed into a corner and had no choice but to give it a try.
However, the nervousness inside was unavoidable; holding the chopsticks, his hands trembled slightly as he resigned himself to his fate and put the food into his mouth.
After tentatively taking a couple of bites, Ao Guang’s eyes instantly brightened.
"This is actually quite good!" Ao Guang couldn’t help but nod in praise.
He hadn’t expected that in such a short time away, Ling’er’s culinary skills had undergone such an earth-shattering transformation!
At the same time, Ao Guang also let go of the anxiety he had been harboring, and started devouring the various dishes with his chopsticks.
The dishes prepared by Ao Ling were mostly imitations of various dishes from Chen Nuo, and the offerings from Chaos Residence were somewhat lacking in seafood.
Having eaten seafood every day, Ao Guang found this terrestrial food to bring a novel flavor to the table, feeling even better than what he usually ate!
He then let down his guard entirely and began feasting with gusto.
The ingredients were what his master normally gave to Ao Ling for practicing her Sword Skills, so one could imagine the quality of products from Chaos Residence!
In no time, Ao Guang had practically demolished nearly half of the dishes.
Now, Ao Ling was finally much happier.
"Father, Mother, eat slowly; don’t rush, I still have dessert for after the meal!"
As she spoke, Ao Ling took out a few items.
In an instant, both Ao Guang and the Dragon Mother’s gazes focused on these items, filled with shock.
These were... Flat Peaches!
Ao Guang shot up from his seat and appeared in front of Ao Ling in the blink of an eye, his eyes wide with excitement.
Leaning closer and closer, he murmured, "They really are Flat Peaches!"
The energy contained within and the Immortal Qi that wafted from them were anything but ordinary, exactly like the ones Great Immortal Wukong had brought last time!
Ao Guang’s breath caught in his throat, could these be the nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peaches?
Seeing Ao Guang’s unsophisticated reaction, Ao Ling frowned with a hint of complaint, "Father, you are the ruler of the Dragon Palace after all. Your dignity, your dignity!"
Ao Ling was disappointed, remembering how the Queen Mother would casually present a pile of Flat Peaches with an air of nonchalance, then looking at her father now, it was somewhat embarrassing.
At Ao Ling’s words, Ao Guang’s face turned somewhat awkward as he stood upright, but his eyes never left the Flat Peaches for a moment.
"Ling’er, where did you get these Flat Peaches from~"
Ao Guang’s voice trembled slightly, and it wasn’t his fault for reacting so—it’s only natural for anyone to be startled at the sight of so many Flat Peaches.
If it had been a Quasi-Saint, it might have been okay, but he had only just entered the Taiyi level!
His Dragon Palace had plenty of good things, but those were only the more common low-level items or the gold, silver, and jewels coveted by the mortal world.
The really precious items were beyond the Dragon Palace’s reach.
Ao Ling rolled her eyes with a touch of speechlessness, "Father, can you look at me when you ask me a question?"
At this remark, Ao Guang laughed sheepishly, reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the peaches.
The Dragon Mother also came back to her senses, full of concern, "Ling’er, where did you get these Flat Peaches? Nothing dangerous happened, right?"
Compared to the Flat Peaches themselves, the Dragon Mother was more concerned about Ao Ling’s safety.
With a light chuckle, Ao Ling shook her head, "Mother, rest assured, these Flat Peaches were given to me by my master before I left to bring back specifically for you to eat."
For us?!!
The Dragon Mother’s eyes lit up.
Ao Guang’s dragon eyes were about to bulge out!
"Ling’er, are you sure?!~"
Ao Guang craned his neck to look at Ao Ling, his voice trembling, almost off-key.
"Of course."
With Ao Ling’s response, Ao Guang’s face lit up with excitement as he quickly yet cautiously lifted a Flat Peach.
After carefully inspecting it for a while, Ao Guang couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, "Ling’er, how old is this Flat Peach?"
On the other side, Ao Ling picked up another piece of meat, but after only a couple of bites, she felt a lack of appetite. The gap compared to her master’s cooking was too big, and she could hardly swallow it.
Her face wrinkled up, Ao Ling hurriedly drank a sip of water to cleanse her palate, and felt much better afterward.
Hearing Ao Guang’s question, she answered indifferently, "They’re all nine thousand years old."
As expected! Although he had anticipated it, Ao Guang couldn’t hide his joy upon receiving the confirmation.
"Ling’er, you really did well in choosing your master," Ao Guang said, holding the peach in one hand and giving a thumbs up with the other.
"Such a generous gesture!"
Great Immortal Wukong was pretty generous as well, handing out eight Flat Peaches on the spot, but her master was even more extraordinary!
Ao Guang’s dragon mouth stretched wide with a somewhat scary excitement as he chortled, "Ling’er, if you’re coming home, you should come home. Why bring back all these precious things?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Guang slightly complained, "Even if you were taking Flat Peaches, a few three-thousand-year-old ones would have been enough. Taking all nine-thousand-year-old ones, you really don’t know better!"
With so many nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peaches, not to mention his own cultivation, even the overall strength of his Dragon Palace could greatly improve.
But, one should remember their roots; the well-being of his daughter as a disciple was far more important!
Ao Ling: "..."
She didn’t choose what to take; at first, she hadn’t even planned to take anything. Besides, in Chaos Residence, if the Flat Peach is nine thousand years old, then that’s what it is. Could she be blamed for there being no younger ones?
"Husband, you should talk less," Dragon Mother glanced at Ao Guang with a frown.
Then she looked tenderly at Ao Ling, "Ling’er, what have you learned from your master?"
"I’ve learned a lot! Mom, haven’t you noticed my improvement in culinary skills?" Ao Ling said matter-of-factly.
"Culinary skills." Dragon Mother was stunned and puzzled, "Did your master only teach you how to cook?"
No wonder her skills had improved so much. But if only cooking was taught, it seemed a bit too...
Dragon Mother wanted to say it was putting the cart before the horse, but she refrained, considering the Flat Peach her husband ate for his breakthrough ultimately came from her daughter’s master.
A legendary figure who could casually produce a pile of Flat Peaches surely had unfathomable motives, not to be lightly speculated upon.
"How could that be! Master taught me far more than just that!" Ao Ling quickly shook her head.
She couldn’t divulge secret martial arts like the Dragon Emperor’s Blood Heart Skills that her master had taught her; even her parents were not exceptions to this rule.
However, Ao Ling’s eyes suddenly lit up as if she thought of something exciting, "Mom and Dad! Let me show you something!!!"
With that, Ao Ling stood up and walked calmly toward an open space, looking at Ao Guang and Dragon Mother with a smug expression on her beautiful face.
"You’ll have to watch closely, okay?!" Ao Ling winked mischievously.
Dragon Mother was very cooperative, her face showing timely expectation, while Ao Guang’s eyes carried a hint of scrutiny, murmuring to himself.
Could Ling’er have more Flat Peaches up her sleeve? That would be wonderful!
Ao Guang thought with a contented air.
Under their gazes, Ao Ling clenched her fist, and silently called out in her heart.
True Spirit Nine Transformations! Divine Skills in action!
In the next instant, Ao Ling’s entire body was enveloped in red light.
"Ling’er!" Dragon Mother’s expression changed, a face full of anxiety, ready to rush over.
Ao Guang quickly stopped her, his dragon eyes fixed on the red light surrounding Ao Ling, "Don’t worry, Ling’er is fine."
As the Dragon King, the leader of the Dragon Clan, Ao Guang’s knowledge couldn’t be compared to ordinary members of the Dragon Clan. Although the red light was infused with an odd energy, it wasn’t violent at all and posed no great danger.
And combining it with his daughter’s earlier comment, everything was crystal clear.
