Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 278 Divine Skills are Great

Now that he had received his little sister’s forgiveness, all he lacked was the acceptance of his nephew and niece!

How could he not be pleased to be called ’Uncle’ by his niece so quickly?

Haotian revealed a smile that he thought was amiable, "What would Chan’er like me to do?"

Seeing Haotian like this, Yang Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and the wariness in her heart also lessened.

"Uncle, would you like to eat with us?" Yang Chan asked, pointing at the hot pot.

She saw Haotian sitting here for so long, just watching them eat, and felt quite sorry for him.

Hearing this, Haotian quickly smiled and shook his head in refusal, "I just ate, you guys go ahead!"

However, as he said this, Haotian couldn’t help but glance at the hot pot repeatedly.

It wasn’t his fault for saying one thing and thinking another; it definitely was because Shopkeeper Chen made every dish too delicious.

Plus, since the banquet last time, he hadn’t eaten hot pot again, and he truly missed it.

"No problem, just eat, Uncle!"

"No, no, it would be too much of an expense for you!" Haotian declined with a wave of his hand.

He, Haotian, couldn’t take advantage of this, could he?

It would be embarrassing!

"Brother, since Chan’er has already offered, just eat!" Yao Ji, who was floating in mid-air, gently laughed and urged.

Respecting elders, that’s a bonus point; his daughter was getting wiser, Yao Ji felt somewhat comforted.

Then, she instinctively looked towards Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo, on the other hand, still wasn’t paying attention to the situation at the dining table. Although he was facing it, he was staring blankly at the crystal ball.

Maybe today I’ll make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall again, it’s a bit of trouble, but it can’t beat how delicious it is! Chen Nuo thought to himself.

Yes! That’s what I’ll do!

Shopkeeper Chen actually nodded at that, and seeing this, Yao Ji rejoiced in her heart, taking it as some acceptance of her daughter.

Giving Haotian a meaningful glance, Yao Ji conveyed a sense of firmness.

Today you must give my daughter this face; the dish must be spared. Otherwise, wouldn’t it seem pretentious?

What would Shopkeeper Chen think if he saw?

Feeling the forcefulness in Yao Ji’s demeanor, Haotian was left with no choice but to say sheepishly, "Thank you, Chan’er, then I will have a taste!"

Having said that, Haotian quickly added another sentence.

"If it’s not enough, Uncle will order more dishes for you!" Haotian slapped his chest in a very generous gesture.

He, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, was rich!

Yang Chan shook her head indifferently, "Ah! I can do it myself, and it’s not expensive anyway."

Golden Immortal-level Magical Treasure just for a meal and it’s not expensive?

Haotian’s mouth twitched, but he quickly realized that the cost of the meal was different for everyone!

When Yang Chan paid earlier, since she had her back to him, and it happened too quickly, he hadn’t seen exactly what she had given.

"Chan’er, what is your dining standard?" Haotian couldn’t help but ask.

"Ten percent of mana," she replied.

Haotian: "..."

Mana???

Ten percent???

That’s quite a disparity!

Haotian was internally shocked; mana was something any cultivator had, and it wasn’t a fixed magic power value, but a proportion.

Any cultivator of any level could easily afford ten percent of their mana!

And most importantly, mana, as long as it wasn’t overdrawn and one focused on their Cultivation Technique, could replenish very quickly.

What kind of luck is this?!

Haotian admitted to feeling outdone; thinking of himself, Haotian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. People are really not to be compared with!

As the Jade Emperor, he always looked further ahead; while a Golden Immortal-level Magical Treasure was nothing much to him, the cost of constantly ordering such dishes could be significant.

Creating a Golden Immortal-level Magic Artifact isn’t terribly difficult, but it’s not exactly easy either!

Chan’er’s sustainable approach is so much better! Use Divine Skills!

"Then I’ll have some," Haotian asked with a smile.

When his own niece put it that way, how could he not give her face?

Moreover, if he refused again, his little sister’s knife might very well end up on his neck!

"Uncle, do you eat spicy food, or can’t you handle it?" Yang Chan passed a pair of new chopsticks reserved on the table to Haotian and asked.

What to eat...

Haotian pondered for a moment. Last time at the banquet, he had chosen a non-spicy hotpot base. This time, he truly wanted to change it up!

However, seeing Xiaotian Dog eating away, alternating between bites of meat and sips of soda, Haotian changed his mind at the last second.

"I’ll try the non-spicy hotpot as well!"

Haotian said against his will, although he actually preferred the spicy version. But then, wouldn’t he end up sharing a meal with Xiaotian Dog?

Eating the same thing as a dog, at the same time!

Well...

That’s a bit embarrassing.

He, Haotian, the majestic Jade Emperor, doesn’t care about saving face?

After a while, Yang Jian finished his Sweet and Sour Pork, his serious face revealing a satisfied expression.

It’s no wonder, given that Shopkeeper Chen’s cooking is always so perfect!

It’s just that... a trace of regret then appeared in Yang Jian’s eyes.

The only pity was that he didn’t awaken any Divine Skills from eating this dish. If other patrons of Chaos Residence knew this thought,

let alone others, Haotian himself would probably not hesitate to give him a good thrashing.

For his first Divine Skills Awakening, he didn’t just eat a plate of food, but also drank so much alcohol. And now, after awakening skills at two consecutive meals, he still wasn’t satisfied!

"Brother, do you want to join us?" Yang Chan asked Yang Jian after she saw him finish eating.

Yang Jian came back to his senses, glanced at Haotian, who was currently dipping items into the hotpot. He intended to refuse outright but tempted by the appetizing look of the hotpot, he thought of his mother, Yao Ji.

A flash of awkwardness crossed his face, and ultimately he nodded, saying gravely, "Fine."

As soon as the words were out.

"Come on! Have a slice of meat!" Upon hearing the response, Haotian’s heart leaped with joy.

Without much thought, he picked up two well-cooked slices of meat and quickly placed them into Yang Jian’s bowl.

Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent.

Haotian chuckled and gestured slightly with his hand, "Eat! It’s just been prepared."

Despite appearing calm, Haotian was incredibly anxious inside. He had been hasty! He knew all too well how much his nephew hated him. Even if the misunderstanding was now resolved, his nephew probably couldn’t start to like his uncle just like that.

Seeing Yang Jian staring down at the meat in his bowl, saying nothing,

Haotian couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Give me some face, have a bite!" Haotian declared boastfully.

Yes, he had used his newly awakened Divine Skill, "Give me some face!"

The moment the words "give me some face" were uttered, a miraculous effect was produced, making people unconsciously want to comply.

Sure enough.

For some reason, Yang Jian suddenly felt it was somehow too much to continue giving Haotian the cold shoulder. Although his mother’s death was related to Haotian, after all, he too was a victim of a scheme.

A sense of guilt emerged in his heart, and before he knew it, he said, "Thanks, Uncle!"

In an instant, Yao Ji, Yang Chan, and even Xiaotian Dog, who had been eating rather absentmindedly, were all stunned.

All of them looked towards Yang Jian, who had already begun eating with his chopsticks.

This isn’t a dream?

Yao Ji blinked her beautiful eyes.

Although she had only spent some of her childhood with Erlang, extrapolating from the little she knew, and combining it with the hatred she felt emanating from Erlang after his revival, she knew that given Erlang’s stubborn nature, even forgiving would take a no small amount of time.

But what was happening now...
