Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 308: You’re being too disrespectful to Peng!
He never expected that awakening Divine Skills could actually be real—the memory could not be faked and felt as natural as instinct.
The Golden Roc knew very clearly that whenever he wished, he could display this Divine Skill!
He had just eaten a roasted lamb leg, yet it had directly awakened a Divine Skill within him?!
Even though he had witnessed the Roc Demon King’s Divine Skills, he still harbored doubts, for such a thing was too beyond belief.
He had thought only Divine Objects like the Innate Spiritual Root Immortal Apricot could awaken a Divine Skill upon consumption, but it turned out to be just a roasted lamb leg!
While the roasted lamb leg was indescribably delicious, the essence of its ingredients hadn’t changed at all!
It was too astonishing!
His gaze shifted cautiously toward Chen Nuo, his heart filled with an irrepressible excitement—who in the world was Shopkeeper Chen?
Why had he never heard of such a powerful being in the Three Realms?
Was this a hidden great power?
One who kept a low profile but possessed unfathomable strength, able to smite the careless with a single slap without needing to explain.
Truth be told, such entities were quite vexing.
Thinking back on his previous plan to steal the Magical Treasure, the Golden Roc couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
If he had truly taken it, he probably wouldn’t have made it out the door before turning to dust!
Fortunately, the Roc Demon King had persuaded him—why hadn’t he thought more on it? How could anyone displaying a Quasi-Saint level Magical Treasure as a mere decoration in their shop lack strength?
Thankfully, Shopkeeper Chen hadn’t taken it to heart!
If previously the Golden Roc had felt fear towards Chen Nuo, he was now filled with respect and gratitude.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for bestowing upon me the grace of these Divine Skills." The Golden Roc thought of this, feeling restless, and suddenly stood up, bowing respectfully to Chen Nuo.
He clearly regarded this gift as something Chen Nuo had bestowed upon him.
"Hmm, rise." Chen Nuo nodded indifferently, having grown accustomed to this.
After all, although he didn’t decide the Divine Skill, it was because of him that awakening was possible.
With Chen Nuo’s word, the Golden Roc had to sit down obediently, but it was evident that his attitude had changed drastically from when he first arrived.
"Golden Roc, what kind of Divine Skill did you awaken?" asked the Roc Demon King, curious after smacking his lips twice.
Hearing this, the Golden Roc was no longer so restrained. Looking at the Roc Demon King, his eyes gleamed with excitement: "I’ve obtained a very powerful speed-related Divine Skill!"
"You’ve awakened a speed-based Divine Skill?!" The Roc Demon King was taken aback.
The Golden Roc nodded confidently: "Of course!"
Having said that, he proceeded to boast proudly about it.
Since the Roc Demon King had shared his Divine Skills, there was no need for the Golden Roc to keep his own a secret, as that would make him seem too tasteless.
The Roc Demon King was shocked, but instinctively he reached for another slice of meat.
This was too incredible!
It turned out that both of them had awakened similar types of Divine Skills—a twist of fate indeed!
After a moment of reflection, and while still chewing the meat in his mouth, the Roc Demon King mumbled, "Not to mention the speed thing, this Yin Yang Dual Qi seems much better than your crummy bottle!"
Having the ability to both clear and rain the skies, and even summon wind—it was leagues above that cracked bottle that could only trap someone inside.
"That’s... a load of crap!" retorted the Golden Roc, who had begun to nod in agreement before suddenly realizing what was said.
His eyes widened: "What do you mean ’crummy bottle’? That is a Magical Treasure that I meticulously crafted!"
Even if it was rubbish, it was still filled with Innate Yin-Yang Qi, after all!
Straightening up, his gaze intensified with a fighting spirit, he declared confidently, "This time, if we compete in speed again, I will definitely not lose!"
His speed now was not just a little bit stronger than before, he had confidence!
"Mm-hm," the Roc Demon King nodded casually, composed and unflappable, his hand picking up food without a moment’s pause.
So what if Chen Nuo had speed Divine Skills, whether it could outdo his Sky-Shaking Cloud Wings was still unknown. Even if it was really fast, he still had another Divine Skill as his trump card!
The Roc Demon King’s mouth twisted into a smirk that resembled the Dragon King’s smile, the ultimate speed was never about how fast you could go, but about jumping through space!
"Then we’ll just have to try it out when the time comes," the Roc Demon King said as he gulped down another slice of meat.
The Golden Roc frowned slightly, feeling displeased. That was too disrespectful!
He was talking about a very serious matter, and this youngster dared to!
The Golden Roc’s gaze involuntarily turned towards the ingredients on the table.
"Holy shit!"
The Golden Roc’s pupils shrank, and his face suddenly turned anxious.
He saw the ingredients that were originally piled high on the table were now reduced by more than half, while the Roc Demon King’s mouth had not stopped moving.
"You little brat, leave some for me, hey!" the Golden Roc hurriedly called out.
It had been agreed that half of the hot pot was his, and now, this guy had stealthily eaten so much, what a sly fox! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Isn’t this making you proud!" mumbled the Roc Demon King, his mouth full of meat, pointing indistinctly at the ingredients in the spicy pot that couldn’t get any more cooked.
The Roc Demon King finally managed to swallow and pointed casually at the ingredients on the table, "I didn’t stop you from eating, did I? It’s you who forgot to eat."
Having said that, another piece of shrimp went down his throat.
This time, the Golden Roc couldn’t wait any longer. He quickly picked up his chopsticks and went for the spicy pot, not bothering to shake off the broth, mimicking the Roc Demon King by dipping the food in sauce before putting it in his mouth.
The next moment, the Golden Roc’s face turned red as he jumped up.
Feeling the explosive sensation in his mouth, the Golden Roc felt like crying without tears, this was too spicy!
That little brat actually tricked him!
The Golden Roc wanted to spit it out, but seeing Chen Nuo’s calm gaze, he chickened out.
Sweating profusely from the spice, his entire mouth was not only in pain but also tingling, it was truly agonizing!
However, gradually, the Golden Roc found that he seemed to be getting used to it. He chewed gently, savoring the flavor.
With the addition of spiciness, the flavors of the ingredients were elevated. After a few more chews, the Golden Roc swallowed it down.
Although his mouth still felt extremely hot and tingling, for some reason, there was an indescribable sense of exhilaration.
What a delicious taste?!
Unconsciously, the Golden Roc picked up a few more pieces of meat to eat.
The Roc Demon King watched, somewhat dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected the Golden Roc to handle it so well!
From the moment Shopkeeper Chen added the base into the pot, the Roc Demon Lord knew it was anything but simple.
The color alone of this pot base indicated that it was exceptionally spicy.
Having learned from his experience with the Sauce-coated Duck, he was very cautious, and this might even be spicier than the Sauce-coated Duck.
A single Sauce-coated Duck was already too much for him to handle, he didn’t need to look for more trouble.
But now, the Golden Roc was actively picking up food,
Was he too brave, or was this spicy pot only seemingly spicy?
Thinking this, the Roc Demon King also felt quite tempted. Should he give it a try?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the Roc Demon King put it into action. He picked up a slice of meat, shook it slightly to get rid of the juice, and tentatively, slowly put it into his mouth.
