Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 290: The Miserable Taibai

"At my age, do you really have the heart to make me stand here and wait?" Seeing that his royal title wasn’t having much effect, Gold Star Taibai had a flash of inspiration and played the sympathy card.

With a face full of pleading, his passive magical powers of amiability silently activated.

However, Fairy Baihua didn’t even give him a proper look, simply rolling her eyes at him.

"Then just have a seat while you wait!" Fairy Baihua said, somewhat speechless. Being old is a matter of transformation, what does it have to do with age?

A Taiyi with such cultivation, and he dares to talk like this, as if he’s mortal.

Gold Star Taibai was completely taken aback. She’s this heartless?

"Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will blame it on you when he finds out?"

"Not at all," Fairy Baihua responded without hesitation. "I am here on Nuwa’s orders. If something happens, Nuwa will protect me."

Gold Star Taibai: "..."

You’re incredible! I can’t afford to offend you!

Your Majesty, your humble servant has tried his best, but the backing of the one across me is too strong!

Sighing, Gold Star Taibai reluctantly moved to the back, with a big smile plastered on his face: "Fairy, please."

That’s more like it. Fairy Baihua nodded in satisfaction and without reservation took the first spot.

If Taibai had just spoken to her normally, she wouldn’t have done this, but he had to act that way. If she didn’t show him some attitude, did he think Fairy Baihua had no temper?

Then she turned to the Weaver Girl, calling out, "Sister, why don’t you order something too?!"

The Weaver Girl chuckled softly and shook her head: "I’m not in a hurry. I can order later. Let Elder Immortal Taibai go first. The matters between Nuwa and His Majesty are the most urgent."

At her words, Gold Star Taibai broke into a broad smile, his old face beaming as he halted his steps, originally planning to give up another spot.

"Weaving Maiden Star Officer is indeed understanding and reasonable! I am grateful, for now," said Gold Star Taibai appreciatively.

"It’s no trouble at all."

The Weaver Girl’s eyes smiled. The demand for celestial garments in the Heavenly Court wasn’t high lately, and she had completed this mission several days ahead of schedule.

There’s no rush for her, and moreover, eating was trivial compared to delivering the garments Shopkeeper Chen had entrusted her to make.

Shopkeeper Chen had awakened her knitting divine skills, deepening her mastery in garment making. This kindness would not be forgotten!

As for this, Chen Nuo didn’t express any opinion. Since they all knew each other, as long as they didn’t fight, organizing a line or something like that, they could handle it themselves.

Seeing that it was almost his turn, Chen Nuo spoke again: "Chaos Residence can only serve one dish per person per day; you can’t order a second one."

Upon hearing Chen Nuo’s words, Fairy Baihua paused.

Then she swiftly pulled out a card, which had the words ’Top Tier Fortune Sticks’ engraved on it.

"Can I use this?"

Chen Nuo recognized it at a glance: "Of course."

Privileges of the Crown VIP card, though it was something he had casually made up, he remembered it very clearly.

So ordering braised pork along with Peach Blossom Porridge was perfectly fine.

That’s great, that’s great, Fairy Baihua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it works, had there been any problem, it would not have been easy to explain to Nuwa upon her return.

"However," Chen Nuo’s voice came again, "due to the recent high sales volume of Peach Blossom Brew, the shop has a new rule: each person can only buy up to five bottles of Peach Blossom Brew."

"Ah?" Fairy Baihua’s mouth hung open, a bit shocked.

New rules? But Nuwa wanted ten jars!

Fairy Baihua wanted to argue, but she thought about Chen Nuo’s words; they made sense.

If even Nuwa holds Shopkeeper Chen in such high regard, then the rules he sets must be followed, even if Nuwa herself were to come, presumably.

"Then, Shopkeeper Chen, please prepare five jars!" Fairy Baihua softly replied.

Five jars is not a small amount, Her Majesty probably won’t say anything.

Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly finding this Fairy Baihua to appear quite unrestrained, yet still quite observant of propriety at crucial moments. If someone else were coming for the first time, they would have probably started asking questions by now.

He nodded and said, "Alright, that will be eight dining opportunities in total. Because of the membership card, the first meal of the day and all Flat Peach series dishes are free, so this meal is on the house, no charge."

Gold Star Taibai, who was standing behind, was stupefied. Immediately, he put away any thought of luck.

He had witnessed the conversation between His Majesty and Her Majesty earlier, and His Majesty even made comparisons with Her Majesty!

The fact that Her Majesty gave her membership card to Fairy Baihua meant there was no chance she was coaxing him to give up his position.

Taibai Jin nodded, feeling as if his heart skipped a beat.

No wonder His Majesty was always asking Shopkeeper Chen how to become a member and how to get promoted; he even boasted in front of Her Majesty. It turns out Her Majesty’s membership card is too incredible!

To order so much and to have it be free just like that, that’s a bit too powerful!

"Do you want to order anything?" Chen Nuo glanced at Fairy Baihua and asked.

"Me?" Fairy Baihua was surprised. She initially wanted to decline, but then remembered what Weaver Girl had said on Weaving Maiden Road about the delicious dishes of Chaos Residence, and she became a little hesitant.

"Then, Shopkeeper Chen, what dishes do you have?"

Chen Nuo made a slight beckoning gesture, and the menu immediately slid across from the counter top to her.

Fairy Baihua caught it and opened it, her face immediately showing surprise. Is this the menu of Chaos Residence?!

Fairy Baihua was instantly captivated by the exquisite images of the dishes.

The camera angles and lighting from the system were top-notch, and with his impressive culinary skills, every dish photographed looked like an exquisite piece of art.

This menu differed from the one given to Nuwa; it didn’t include the new dish Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Fairy Baihua looked through the menu, feeling like she wanted to eat everything, but she also remembered what Chen Nuo had said: you can only order one dish at a time.

Braised pork, is this the dish Her Majesty wanted to order?

Fairy Baihua stared at the thick red sauce and the layers of fat and lean braised pork in front of her, and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. This dish looked amazing too!

One dish after another, a feast for the eyes. Finally, after looking through everything, Fairy Baihua struggled internally for quite some time but still couldn’t decide what to eat.

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you have any recommendations?" Fairy Baihua, in a hurry, turned her pleading gaze towards Chen Nuo.

The last thing she wanted was to make a decision, especially when everything appeared equally appealing and she couldn’t choose at all!

She certainly couldn’t just stay there indecisively; Her Majesty would punish her to death.

A recommendation, huh? Chen Nuo nodded and casually said, "Everything in our restaurant is a specialty, but personally, I recommend the Crispy Fried Chicken, paired with Flat Peach juice."

Crispy Fried Chicken with Flat Peach juice, isn’t that a perfect combination?!

"I’ll have that then!" Fairy Baihua made her decision firmly, nothing could be better than having someone else decide for her!

Having said that, Fairy Baihua started to reach for her coin pouch. Although she was an immortal, she still had money.

"No need for money. Here at Chaos Residence, we use a different method of payment," Chen Nuo said as he presented a Crystal Ball in front of Fairy Baihua.

"Place your hand on it, and whatever the ball feeds back to you, you give that in return. This will be the standard price for your meals at Chaos Residence from now on."

"That’s incredible?" exclaimed Fairy Baihua in amazement. No immortal had told her about this.

She did as instructed, gently placing her hand on the surface.

"This is..." Feeling the feedback from the Crystal Ball, Fairy Baihua’s face was full of surprise.

"Fairy Baihua, what’s this pricing standard?" Elder Immortal Taibai flicked his horsetail whisk and asked curiously.

"It wants my Hundred Flowers Dew," Fairy Baihua said thoughtfully. She had thought that eating here would only cost gold and silver, not expecting it to be this.
