Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 245 This Takeout Has No Scent

Seeing this, Chen Nuo stood up and leisurely entered the kitchen.

Although the kitchen was tidy, it still had a lot of ingredients displayed that he had forgotten to put away after teaching Wukong to make "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" yesterday.

Chen Nuo pursed his lips and fell into thought; judging by Wukong’s current progress, he estimated it would take another two to three days to fully master the dish.

Of course, this "fully mastered" just means reaching the level of Wukong’s other dishes; there’s still a long way to go before he can compete with him.

Casually glancing over, many of the ingredients were no longer fresh. With a wave of his hand, he directly gathered these ingredients into the System Space.

For these lower freshness, second-rate ingredients, the system also had a recycling bin where they could be exchanged for points, although not many, it was better than nothing.

The ingredients sold in the System Store were very cheap, with just a few Merit Points one could buy a huge pile; only the particularly rare ingredients were slightly more expensive, but still easily affordable.

Chen Nuo skillfully prepared the ingredients needed for the dishes, his face revealing a kind smile.

"A spice overload for the Sauce-coated Duck, right? Consider it arranged!"

Sun Wukong walked over to the counter and started picking out wines from the cabinet of liquor displayed behind him.

One jar, two jars, three jars...

"Exactly fifteen jars, no more, no less," Sun Wukong neatly arranged the exquisitely small jars of Peach Blossom Brew in three rows.

Xuan Feng nodded, came forward, and counted each one again to ensure quality.

After all, it was for the Lady Nuwa; she couldn’t afford to be careless.

"Stop shaking them, they’re all full," Sun Wukong rolled his eyes discontentedly, "You’re here to spend money, would I cheat you?"

Xuan Feng completely ignored Sun Wukong’s words and only after checking all the jars did she wave her hand to take them all back.

"I’m just a runner, of course I have to be meticulous," Xuan Feng retorted without showing weakness.

Moreover, what she said was the truth.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong’s monkey face flashed with anger, and he no longer looked at Xuan Feng, feeling it as a distrust of his monkey honor!

Watching Sun Wukong like this, Xuan Feng actually felt a bit amused and cleared her throat before asking, "How did you become Shopkeeper Chen’s disciple?"

This place was quite secluded, she wondered how he had found his way here.

"I was attracted by the fragrant smell of Master’s fried rice! So, the Master just took me on as an apprentice," Sun Wukong immediately stopped being annoyed and recounted the event with glee.

"Attracted by the smell of cooking?" Xuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then critically said, "You’re really lucky then!"

A look of pride crossed Sun Wukong’s face, "Of course!"

That was the luckiest thing for him.

But Xuan Feng’s focus was clearly not there.

"Was that fried rice really that fragrant?" Xuan Feng couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

"Fragrant!" Sun Wukong nodded earnestly.

With utter seriousness, "It’s not just the fragrance, the taste is exceptional too."

Sun Wukong briefly introduced Shopkeeper Chen’s Golden Fried Rice from its appearance and aroma to the final taste.

But that was enough to make Xuan Feng long for it.

Smacking her lips, Xuan Feng thought to herself, "Tomorrow I will come and have that Golden Fried Rice!"

With an unexpected snort of laughter, Sun Wukong looked at Xuan Feng, full of schadenfreude.

"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Feng frowned and questioned.

That expression was obviously related to her!

"Nothing, nothing at all." Sun Wukong propped his face with his hand, trying to appear stern, yet the gleeful look in his eyes remained unchanged.

Speaking of the dishes reminded him, the Sauce-coated Duck Xuan Feng had ordered was extremely spicy!

Hehe, he used to keep his distance from those spicy sauce-coated ducks, let alone the insanely spicy ones. Hopefully, she can stay this calm when it comes time to eat.

"What are you laughing about?" Xuan Feng was getting somewhat annoyed by Sun Wukong’s attitude.

"Nothing much, I was just thinking of some happy things," Sun Wukong had already decided to bluff his way through.

"You!"

As Xuan Feng was about to retort in a burst of irritation, Chen Nuo had already come out from the kitchen.

In front of her, two dishes were being led with mana, just like walking a dog.

"The dishes are ready," Chen Nuo announced as she placed the dishes on the table.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen." Xuan Feng hurriedly put on a flattering smile, tossing her previous doubts to the back of her mind, and with her head held high, she took in a deep breath, only to be surprised that she couldn’t smell anything.

Why is that? The dishes made by Shopkeeper Chen are always so fragrant, why...

Xuan Feng was puzzled.

"Stop sniffing," Chen Nuo saw right through what Xuan Feng was trying to do.

Then, she casually explained, "This is takeout packaging, sealed tightly, so there won’t be any smell. Just open it when you’re ready to eat."

So that was it. Xuan Feng awkwardly nodded, her face tinged with a hint of red, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Xuan Feng quickly gathered the dishes on the table without mentioning whether to check the goods or not. She had the mind to do so but not the courage.

Xuan Feng said respectfully, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen. Her Highness is waiting for me, so please excuse me for not being able to stay long!"

Although she said it for a reason, the main thing was that she wanted to eat it herself. Her Highness had told her to bring it back for her own meal, and she didn’t dare to finish it off outside.

Faced with delicious food, she really couldn’t wait!

"Mhm." Chen Nuo simply nodded. He didn’t have any opinion about such matters, as long as he got paid it didn’t matter where they ate.

But... Chen Nuo paused thoughtfully before speaking again, "The dishes from Chaos Residence should not be consumed in excess."

"What the consequences will be, I need not say more."

"Yes!" Xuan Feng went pale with fear.

She wanted to, but how dared she? Not to mention Shopkeeper Chen discovering her, even if he didn’t, she wouldn’t dare to deceive Nuwa!

If she touched the food, Nuwa would definitely sense her presence. Committing such an offense against a Saint was a serious sin, and she didn’t think her life was too long yet.

"Shopkeeper Chen, then I’ll be going back first!"

"Mhm." Chen Nuo waved his hand to dismiss her.

After seeing Xuan Feng leave, Chen Nuo turned to Sun Wukong and called out, "Come on, to the kitchen. Don’t even think about slacking off today, you have to make some progress on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

"Yes!" Sun Wukong nodded cheerfully. He loved cooking the most!

"If you don’t learn well, there will be no food for you," Chen Nuo said as he turned around and continued casually while walking away.

"Ah? No way!" Sun Wukong’s face fell. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was too hard!

Xuan Feng exited Chaos Residence, leaped toward the sky, and transformed directly into her phoenix form.

She was already eager when she arrived, and now that she had the food, she was even more desperate to return.

With a flap of her wings, Xuan Feng vanished from the spot, and under her swift flight, she didn’t stop even when she reached the Palace of Nuwa but continued flying directly to the main hall where she transformed back into her human form.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I’ve brought the food back!" Xuan Feng entered with a gleeful step, still carrying two boxes of packaged dishes and showing them off.

Nuwa sat at the head, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes, and with a light parting of her rosy lips, she said calmly, "Don’t act rashly, be steady."

With that said, with a simple gesture, an exquisite table and chairs appeared in the middle of the spacious hall.

"Put them there," Nuwa instructed, rising from her seat at the same time.

Xuan Feng nodded, "Yes!"
