Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 291: Xuan Feng Complains

As Fairy Baihua, she was responsible for the blooming of all flowers in the Heavenly Court. Every morning, the dew gathered from each Immortal Flower, when combined and catalyzed by mana, could be refined into Hundred Flowers Dew.

Hundred Flowers Dew was the essence of Baihua, produced after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It not only beautified and nourished the complexion but also had the effect of slightly enhancing one’s cultivation level.

It wasn’t particularly rare, yet its output was low. Despite the vast number of flowers in her fields, she could only condense two or three drops a day after harvesting the dew.

Even though the Empress would use it, she had saved up quite a bit over these millions of years.

"That good?" Gold Star Taibai exclaimed, unable to stop the envy flooding his heart. Clearly, he knew exactly how the Hundred Flowers Dew was made.

In comparison, his Breath of Gengjin was quite pitiful. It needed to be self-catalyzed, and giving too much could threaten one’s life.

Fairy Baihua took out a delicately small bottle, which she used for storing the dew.

Upon opening the stopper, a serene fragrance wafted out. It wasn’t very strong but felt very natural.

Chen Nuo said lightly, "Just drip it onto this crystal ball."

"Is the price for this Flat Peach Juice also one drop?" Fairy Baihua inquired.

Chen Nuo shook his head: "No, Flat Peach Juice and Freshly Squeezed Flat Peach Juice are half the standard menu price."

Although this juice tasted good, it lacked the key effect of awakening supernatural powers. Selling it at the original price would be like swindling people, wouldn’t it?

Oh!

Fairy Baihua understood and, holding the small bottle, tilted it slightly.

One drop.

Her hand was incredibly steady. Bit by bit, she dispensed exactly half the size of a drop.

Payment successful.

Hearing the system’s prompt in her mind, Chen Nuo’s mouth twitched.

Impressive!

How did she manage to dispense exactly 1.5 without more or less?

To this, Fairy Baihua was quite accustomed, as she pruned flowers and plants daily.

In order to be precise and forgo the use of mana, she kept a steady hand over time, and thus developed this skill.

"Find a place to sit, and wait a moment," Chen Nuo called out without turning back as he entered the house.

Nuwa’s Palace.

"Your Majesty, I’ve bought what you wanted," Xuan Feng said, laden with large bags, as he entered the great hall.

Today, Nuwa wasn’t seated in her usual elevated position but had taken a seat at the dining table in the center of the hall, poised and ready.

The dining table had remained set up for the past few days without being put away.

Hearing Xuan Feng’s words, Nuwa closed the menu she was intently perusing, placing it gently to the side.

"Bring them here," she said in an even tone, tinged with a hint of almost imperceptible anticipation.

"Yes!" Xuan Feng said, placing a large pouch on the table and starting to undo the fastenings. "Your Majesty."

"Hmm?"

"Today, when I went to place the order, I ran into Gold Star Taibai!" Xuan Feng began.

"Oh?" Nuwa’s normally indifferent eyes sparkled with interest. "Then what happened?"

Do other people visit Shopkeeper Chen’s store too?

A hint of indignation crossed Xuan Feng’s face: "I was there first, but that Gold Star Taibai claimed he was purchasing on behalf of the Jade Emperor and insisted that Shopkeeper Chen serve him first!"

"Did you yield?" Nuwa’s face showed a trace of displeasure.

"How could I?!" Xuan Feng shook his head quickly, lifting his head proudly as he said, "How could I give in?"

"I immediately invoked Your Majesty’s name. He may have the Jade Emperor’s backing, but I have Your Majesty! As soon as I mentioned that, it scared Gold Star Taibai so much that he didn’t dare mention jumping the queue again—he was indeed crestfallen."

Xuan Feng was brimming with pride. Although she said this, she wasn’t sure why she was just annoyed by this matter and not actually resentful towards Gold Star Taibai.

The white-bearded old man appeared quite simple and amusing.

The corners of Nuwa’s lips rose imperceptibly. That was more like it. Since when did Haotian have more clout than her? Good that Gold Star Taibai knew which way the wind was blowing.

Upon seeing the array of items Xuan Feng had laid out, Nuwa’s phoenix brows raised slightly.

"You... bought a roasted lamb leg too?" Nuwa inquired lightly, pointing with her delicate fingers.

Given the size of the lamb leg, Chen Nuo hadn’t used a box but had wrapped it directly instead.

The appearance of two identical wrappings clearly indicated why.

"Yes!" Xuan Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Your Highness, your discerning eye is unparalleled, and the dishes you choose are definitely the tastiest! I want to have a taste too!"

"You’re slick." Nuwa rolled her eyes and with a thought, all the items she had ordered flew automatically to her side.

With a gentle wave of her hand, "Out you go, I’m about to dine."

"As you wish!" Xuan Feng nodded cheerily, carefully storing her share away; she too was looking forward to enjoying it back at her own place!

She resolved to awaken her Flight Supernatural Power as soon as possible to defeat that detestable monkey.

After a while, Chen Nuo emerged from the kitchen, followed by dishes and drinks that were levitated by mana, including the Peach Blossom Brew that flew off the counter all by itself.

Unlike Xuan Feng’s, Chen Nuo packed these items into two large bags.

One was for the Jade Pool’s order, the other for Fairy Baihua’s own use; since Xuan Feng had visited several times and knew pretty much everything, he didn’t bother himself with that detail.

"Nuo, your order is all set," Chen Nuo said, handing over the two bags.

"This one’s the group purchase, and this one’s yours," Chen Nuo explained, even as he pointed them out.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen!" Fairy Baihua accepted graciously, relieved in her heart that she had completed Her Highness’s task; otherwise, she would have felt a bit uneasy.

Turning her head towards the Weaver Girl, Fairy Baihua spoke softly, "Little sister, would you like to take yours and dine with me?"

If they were to dine together, she could wait a while longer.

The Weaver Girl shook her head slightly, smiling as she said, "No need, Sister Hua, I prefer to eat here in the store."

Hearing this, Fairy Baihua pursed her lips, "Alright then."

"I should head back now!"

If she delayed any longer, Her Highness would start to worry!

Fairy Baihua bid farewell to Chen Nuo and the Weaver Girl, giving Chen Nuo another respectful bow.

This left Elder Immortal Taibai awkwardly retracting his hand, feeling rather embarrassed, as he was just about to say hello.

Was it because he was a bit blunt just now that he was being ignored?

Soon after, Elder Immortal Taibai turned his eager gaze towards Chen Nuo, saying somewhat anxiously, "Shopkeeper Chen, it’s my turn now! Hurry up, or the Jade Emperor will punish this old man for being late."

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"What’s the rush?" With a casual beckoning, he gathered together the drinks requested by Wu Tian and the extra Freshly Squeezed Flat Peach Juice.

With a thought,

more dishes and ingredients appeared, in abundance.

"All done," Chen Nuo shrugged, "Wu Tian’s order is complete."

Elder Immortal Taibai was stunned, "That was fast?!"

"Of course!" Chen Nuo rolled his eyes again, somewhat speechless, "Didn’t you have this at the Flat Peach Banquet? What’s there to do?"

Since he had personally prepared the ingredients, all he had to do was have them ready.

"As for the pot, I won’t supply it; Wukong has presided over the Flat Peach Banquet and has cooked hotpot before. He doesn’t lack the equipment for it, so you can just ask him for one when it’s needed," Chen Nuo instructed blandly.

Gold Star Taibai nodded in understanding and gave thanks repeatedly.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this humble one shall take his leave!"

"Go ahead," Chen Nuo dismissed him nonchalantly.

Gold Star Taibai carefully packed each item, mentally checking to ensure every single ingredient was indeed in eleven portions.

"Weaving Maiden Star Officer, this old man shall leave you be," Gold Star Taibai said, nodding with a cheery smile.

Compared to Fairy Baihua, he found the Weaving Maiden Star Officer’s temperament to be somewhat more agreeable.

The Weaver Girl nodded slightly, responding with a light laugh, "Elder Immortal Taibai, take care on your way."
