Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 257: What? Multiple Awakenings?

"This fur is too short, and the color is so plain." In short, Sun Wukong was extremely dissatisfied.

"You should be happy you got any at all!" Xuan Feng rolled her eyes. Phoenix feathers are sought after and still you can’t get them on the outside!

What was she thinking?

Tail feathers? Those were her proudest feathers!

Xuan Feng silently ranted in her heart.

Watching the overjoyed monkey, she pondered for a moment, but eventually couldn’t help asking out loud.

"How... how do you fly?"

Xuan Feng was utterly baffled. She had transformed into her true form and yet she couldn’t outfly him? It was inconceivable!

You’re just a monkey, and only a Taiyi Golden Immortal to boot! How could you possibly be that fast?

Sun Wukong smiled smugly, "You can transform into your true form, but I also have divine skills, you know!"

"Divine skills?" Xuan Feng blinked, somewhat confused.

Innate speed-type divine skills? She could believe it if it were a bird of some demon clan, but a monkey seemed completely unrelated to flight supernatural power, right?

"You’ve eaten several meals cooked by my master. Haven’t you awakened any divine skills?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.

Xuan Feng was somewhat astonished, "You mean eating food can awaken divine skills?!"

"Of course!" Sun Wukong grinned.

That’s right!

Xuan Feng was startled. She had meant to go to Chaos Residence today to thank Shopkeeper Chen, but got so busy that she forgot!

That’s so rude!

Seeing Xuan Feng’s strong reaction, Sun Wukong asked doubtfully, "Haven’t you awakened any?"

If she hadn’t awakened any by now, her luck must be really terrible!

"How is that possible?!" Xuan Feng glared, "Of course, I’ve awakened!"

The divine skill of Flame Nirvana she had awakened was not weak at all!

But, pursing her lips, Xuan Feng hesitated, then couldn’t help saying, "Monkey, can your master really help people awaken divine skills?!"

Even now, she found it hard to believe. After all, it seemed too far-fetched!

"Don’t call me ’monkey’; I have a name, I am Sun Wukong." Sun Wukong was somewhat unhappy.

Then, puffing up with pride, he said, "Naturally, it’s true! This is my master’s unique ability to let others awaken his divine skills by eating his food, you know!"

Xuan Feng was stunned, "You mean the divine skill I awakened is one your shopkeeper originally possessed?"

"Exactly." Sun Wukong nodded as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "If my master didn’t know it, do you think you could have awakened it?"

Xuan Feng opened her mouth but didn’t say anything; somehow, it made sense.

The order of divine skills’ awakening is the biggest misunderstanding that everyone who has awakened skills through Chen Nuo has.

They all think that these are skills Chen Nuo originally had, which is why others could awaken them, little do they know, it’s actually the opposite.

Watching Xuan Feng’s still somewhat unsettled demeanor, Sun Wukong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking earnestly, "Little phoenix, stay calm, isn’t it just awakening a divine skill? Remember, the more you visit the Chaos Residence and eat, the more accustomed you’ll become to awakening three or five divine skills."

Sun Wukong seemed to have forgotten the excitement of his own awakening and how he did not have to deal with the discomfort of standing for long.

"Three or five?" Xuan Feng’s face was full of shock.

"Divine skills can be awakened multiple times?"

By the end, Xuan Feng’s voice had even turned a bit sharp.

Sun Wukong twisted his neck, remaining unruffled.

"Hmm, every dish made by my master has the potential to awaken divine skills, but each dish offers only one chance of awakening. If the divine skill has already been awakened from it, eating it again won’t do any good."

"Of course, if you’re just eating for the taste, then it’s always delicious." Sun Wukong said and smacked his lips.

Like him, he had nearly awakened all the divine skills he could, so now when he ordered dishes, it was mainly just to enjoy the taste.

But in his view, that was supremely worthwhile, each time was a moment of spiritual refinement and enjoyment, a pleasure that no amount of money could buy in the outside world.

"So, how many Divine Skills have you awakened?" Xuan Feng curiously asked.

Just listening to that monkey’s tone, he must have at least five already! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Sun Wukong shook his head and played coy.

"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed!"

Divine Skills were his trump card, how could he casually inform others?

Xuan Feng turned her head and pouted. If he wouldn’t say, then she didn’t care to know.

Gazing at the grandeur of the opulent palaces, Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, "I didn’t expect your mistress’s residence to be so extravagant; it doesn’t fall short of the Heavenly Court!"

"Of course!"

Xuan Feng boasted proudly, "This is the abode of a Saint; it’s certainly not that simple!"

Walking forward, Xuan Feng turned her head to see Sun Wukong still standing in his spot: "Hurry up, I’ll take you to see the mistress."

Sun Wukong nonchalantly agreed, looking around, muttering to himself that Chaos Residence was still more to his liking.

Xuan Feng led Sun Wukong through hall after hall.

Even though Sun Wukong was a new face, with Xuan Feng by his side, no Immortal Attendant dared to obstruct him.

Finally, Xuan Feng brought Sun Wukong to the most majestic of all the halls.

"We’re here," Xuan Feng whispered, then looked at Sun Wukong seriously, "Don’t wander around here; when the mistress wants to see you, I will come out and notify you!"

"Hurry it up!"

Sun Wukong waved her on dismissively and sat down cross-legged on the spot to enjoy the scenery, eager for a quick visit.

Seeing Sun Wukong’s carefree attitude, Xuan Feng’s mouth twitched. This was the abode of a Saint, after all, and he was being far too casual!

"You really must not run around!" Xuan Feng could not help but caution him again, "Nuwa’s palace is vast; if you wander off, I won’t be able to find you later!"

"If you offend the mistress then, it’ll be over for you!"

Given Sun Wukong’s lax demeanor, she was really worried.

"Relax, relax! You can count on Old Sun’s handling of business!" Sun Wukong patted his chest and said offhand.

Seeing Sun Wukong still so laid-back, Xuan Feng shook her head helplessly and sighed softly before entering the hall alone.

"Mistress, Mistress!"

Watching Xuan Feng rush into the inner hall, Nuwa furrowed her brows and chided gently, "So rash and careless, where is your proper form? What would people think?"

Hearing this, Xuan Feng chuckled, scratching her head and showing no fear.

"Have you completed the tasks I assigned?" Nuwa asked lightly.

"To answer the mistress, yes, they’re completed," Xuan Feng nodded. "I have brought both Sun Wukong and the menu!"

Xuan Feng smiled broadly, waiting for Nuwa’s praise.

However, what Xuan Feng received was not what she expected.

Instead...

"Who’s asking about that?"

Nuwa’s expression darkened.

Xuan Feng was immediately frightened, her legs starting to tremble.

"Please enlighten me, mistress!"

Xuan Feng’s heart was in turmoil. Had she forgotten some other command from the mistress?

Seeing Xuan Feng so careful, Nuwa was somewhat speechless and said softly, "I meant to ask if you’ve bought all the dishes and wine I wanted?"

"Bought, bought them already!" Xuan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

She had scared herself, thinking it was something serious, only to find out it was just that, the most basic errand of all.

"Then why haven’t you presented them?" Nuwa urged.

"Oh! Right away!" Xuan Feng hastily nodded and brought out the braised pork and ten jars of Peach Blossom Brew that Nuwa had ordered.
