Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 258: Bring that Monkey In

At the moment the items were brought out, Nuwa’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty, you can’t buy so much Peach Blossom Brew anymore,

Nuwa’s brows furrowed, she calmly asked, "Why?"

"Shopkeeper Chen says the supply of Peach Blossom Brew can’t meet the demand, so starting tomorrow, there will be a limit. Each person can only purchase five jars per day."

Nuwa’s expression darkened, somewhat unwilling. Such delicious wine, and now it’s limited—this really isn’t good for business!

Nuwa did not get angry, after all, the reason was indeed valid.

The so-called Shopkeeper Chen owed her a debt of divine skills, so she would give him face!

However, Nuwa looked at Xuan Feng with some frustration and chastised, "They say the limit starts tomorrow. Couldn’t you have bought more today?"

After feeling around, Nuwa was even more irritated.

She had lost several drops of vital blood buying yesterday, but now it was surprisingly full, without the slightest hint of strain.

Even if it meant buying Peach Blossom Brew until her vital blood ran low, couldn’t she have returned and found Nuwa, who could have easily resolved it?

Stubborn fool!

"Then tomorrow, bring me five jars of Peach Blossom Brew," Nuwa said calmly.

"Huh?" Xuan Feng was stunned. Five jars?!

She could only buy five jars in total, and if she bought them all for Her Majesty, what would she drink?!

Not hearing a reply, Nuwa glanced dispassionately.

"Yes..." Xuan Feng stood up straight and proper, somewhat wronged, but she answered.

How could she not obey when the Saint decreed!

Humming lightly to herself, Nuwa paid no more attention and instead turned her gaze to the neatly arranged dishes and wine on the table.

She hadn’t put away the table she’d taken out yesterday, her determination to indulge in culinary delights was evident.

Rising slowly, Nuwa stepped elegantly to the head of the table and sat down again. Her mana drew the meal box in front of her, and Nuwa pursed her lips.

She could hardly wait.

Just as she was about to break the seal and start eating, Nuwa suddenly remembered that Xuan Feng seemed to have mentioned that she brought that monkey with her!

Her hand stopped just before touching the meal box, and with a thought, Nuwa instantly retracted all the dishes and wine from the table.

Is this...

Xuan Feng looked puzzled, a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.

Nuwa pondered for a moment and softly instructed, "Bring that monkey in first."

Although the food was exceedingly tempting, it wouldn’t hurt to see him and eat afterward, especially since everything was collected back into her own space, where no time would pass.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Xuan Feng nodded respectfully.

So that was the reason!

Before Xuan Feng could fully turn around, Nuwa added, "And bring me the menu you’ve got."

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Xuan Feng promptly presented the menu with both hands and then turned to leave.

Is this the menu from Chaos Residence?

Looking at the simple cover of the booklet, a flicker of curiosity passed through Nuwa’s eyes. With a light flick of her finger, she slowly opened the menu.

Xuan Feng walked straight out of the great hall, but her first glance didn’t find the monkey. Her brows furrowed, and she grew anxious.

Hadn’t they agreed he wasn’t supposed to wander off, always causing her trouble!

"Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong! Come out!" Xuan Feng called out, taking steps to search, but before she had gone far,

"Hey, where are you off to?" Suddenly, Xuan Feng heard a mischievous voice.

Xuan Feng looked toward the source of the voice, and not far from the hall, on an ancient tree, Sun Wukong was perched on a branch, enjoying the shade.

Seeing this, Xuan Feng’s face changed dramatically, and she hastily scolded, "Get down from there, you monkey! If the goddess finds out, you won’t have any good fruit to eat!"

The temperament of the Saint, she knew all too well, could be summed up in one phrase: unpredictable as the weather, and one shouldn’t even try to fathom the Saint’s thoughts.

"Got it, got it!" Sun Wukong, nonchalantly digging at his ear, gave a light push with his hand and somersaulted to the ground.

"Do you even realize what you were just doing?" Xuan Feng furrowed her brows, her voice cooling slightly.

"Wasn’t I just finding a place to lean on for a bit? I didn’t run off," Sun Wukong replied, spreading his hands innocently.

Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Xuan Feng rolled her eyes. If he wasn’t Shopkeeper Chen’s disciple, she wouldn’t bother with him at all!

If Sun Wukong did end up dying because he had offended the goddess, then she could kiss her visits to Chaos Residence goodbye.

"Your goddess wants to see me?" Sun Wukong chuckled, "Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry up and take me to her!"

Sun Wukong urged her on. The sooner he went, the sooner he could return, for he was eager to resume cooking at the Imperial Kitchen!

The immortals in Heavenly Court must be dying to taste his cooking after a few days without it!

"Stick close and don’t wander off!" Xuan Feng shook her head hopelessly and walked inside.

Whatever was on the goddess’s mind to want to meet this rough monkey, Xuan Feng thought critically.

Sun Wukong followed Xuan Feng obediently, but his eyes weren’t quite as well-behaved; they flitted from left to right, appraising the palace decor.

He nodded to himself, clearly impressed.

Having been with Chen Nuo for over ten years, Sun Wukong’s aesthetic sense had improved tremendously.

"Reporting to the goddess, Sun Wukong has been brought here!" After walking a bit further, Xuan Feng bowed respectfully to the breathtakingly beautiful woman before her.

So, this was the so-called goddess, Little Phoenix talked about?

Sun Wukong blinked and openly stared at Nuwa.

Her beauty was peerless, with every facial feature exquisitely crafted; her dark hair set off the snow-white complexion of her skin, and delicate hands held a booklet. Gazing down, she had the added air of scholarly elegance.

Sun Wukong sized her up, thinking that such beauty was rare in the world, but as a monkey, he had no interest whatsoever.

Still, she ought to barely meet his Master’s standards!

Sun Wukong scratched his head and pondered. His Master had been alone for the many years since he had become a disciple; it was quite pitiful.

As a disciple, he naturally had to step up at critical moments!

Nuwa, however, didn’t look up or respond to Xuan Feng’s introduction, her eyes intently fixed on the object in her hands, clearly captivated.

Are all these dishes from Chaos Residence?

Nuwa’s jade-like fingers gently traced the pictures on the menu, almost as if she could touch the real thing.

This one is Flying Dragon Soup, this one is Crispy Fried Chicken!

Nuwa silently nodded to herself, finding the dishes she had eaten these past two days on the menu and marveled internally.

She had to admit that the artistry of the menu was mesmerizing; the pictures of the dishes were nearly identical to what she had eaten, apart from the presentation, with no noticeable difference in color or shape.

Nuwa’s gaze drifted downward, and she saw the words "braised pork," her understanding clear.

Was this the dish she had ordered today?

In just a moment, Nuwa was captivated by the image of the braised pork before her: rich gravy, evenly sized pieces, a perfect balance of fat and lean, glistening and translucent.

Just from looking, Nuwa could almost taste how delicious it would be, and she involuntarily swallowed, the sound conspicuous in the silent hall.

Right now, she really wanted to dig in directly!

Just a drawing, and yet it was enough to make a Saint itch with anticipation.

Seeing the situation, Xuan Feng held off on speaking further and drew back, lowering herself even more and holding her breath.

She also turned her head slightly, signaling to Sun Wukong with her eyes. The goddess was clearly lost in thought and must not be disturbed!

However, Sun Wukong’s attention had already been captured, and he paid no heed to what Xuan Feng was doing.
