Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 322: Took the Wrong One

"This is all part of the job," Gold Star Taibai and Roc Demon King waved their hands, but spoke the honest truth.

For them, how could it merely be part of the job? It was a matter concerning their evaluation as the best employees.

Immortals and demons were surprisingly harmonious, leaving Mo Lishou by the side stunned. When had these monsters become so peaceable?

"This is the Passage Order bestowed by His Majesty, please accept it," said Gold Star Taibai with a cheerful smile, handing over the token given by Haotian to the Two Demons.

"With this, as long as you don’t endanger the Heavenly Court, you will not be hindered within its bounds," Gold Star Taibai briefly explained.

A Passage Order? A flicker of novelty crossed the eyes of the Two Demons. They hadn’t expected such a thing to exist in the Heavenly Court.

"Then I shall accept it," Roc Demon King replied without much thought, readily agreeing.

He feared he would have to visit various places to make deliveries in the future, and the Heavenly Court, being a major gathering place for Immortals, would certainly be on the list. Having this item would indeed make things much more convenient.

The same went for Gold Star Taibai.

"Are you about to leave then?" inquired Gold Star Taibai tentatively.

He was still waiting to report back. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Go on, go on!"

Roc Demon King said with a smile, patting Gold Star Taibai on the shoulder, "Remember to choose me when you order delivery next time!"

"Certainly, certainly," Gold Star Taibai nodded with a beaming face.

Upon hearing this, Gold Star Taibai wasn’t pleased.

"Of course, you should choose my Huangtuan Delivery," he said, pointing to the clothing on his body.

"Nonsense, my ’Hungry Yet’ is clearly the best option!" Roc Demon King strongly retorted.

The Two Demons began bickering right at the South Heavenly Gate.

This scene had never occurred before since the establishment of Haotian’s Heavenly Court.

"Both of you are endowed with vast Divine Skills, both are good, both are good," Gold Star Taibai said as his eyelids twitched, quickly trying to smooth things over.

He didn’t want them to end up fighting right at the South Heavenly Gate!

With both being Great Demon Kings, they wouldn’t be stopped by only a few of them.

Gold Star Taibai gave a sheepish smile: "But as for who to choose for delivery, this old man can’t decide on his own, that’s up to Shopkeeper Chen to firmly decide!"

Unable to persuade them, he could only change the subject.

And, wouldn’t you know, this technique actually worked, and the Two Demons stopped arguing. What was the point? They might as well head back to Chaos Residence early, which would be more efficient and perhaps earn some favor in Shopkeeper Chen’s heart.

"If you dare, don’t use your strange Supernatural Powers, let’s just compete with normal flying abilities to see who gets back first!" Gold Star Taibai emphasized the last three words, challenging.

"Scared of you?"

Roc Demon King was not the least bit intimidated.

At the same time, the Two Demons transformed into their true forms and sped off towards Chaos Residence.

"Sky King, I still need to report back to His Majesty, so I won’t stay any longer," and with that, the token in Gold Star Taibai’s hand was swapped for two packages.

Mo Lishou came around, "Old Immortal, please feel free to depart."

Fairy Baihua nodded towards Mo Lishou, securing her own package.

The two Immortals left to report back.

"Delivery?" mumbled Mo Lishou, alone in his musings, then he shook his head, baffled.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Before even stepping into the grand hall, Gold Star Taibai’s voice rang out.

Approaching closer, Gold Star Taibai presented Haotian with one of the packages: "Your delivery has been retrieved by your humble servant!"

Haotian immediately stopped reviewing memorials and nodded, "I didn’t expect it to be quite so fast."

He thought it would take a while longer.

"Indeed," responded Gold Star Taibai, "Shopkeeper Chen hired deliverymen from the Roc Clan, all Great Demon Kings, who are, I believe, extremely adept in terms of speed."

"It is so," Haotian agreed with Gold Star Taibai’s observation.

Looking at the large package in front of him, even without seeing its contents, Haotian felt his stomach leap with anticipation.

Eating Shopkeeper Chen’s cooking was truly a great pleasure!

Unable to wait any longer, Haotian untied the knot that Gold Star Taibai had tied at the top of the bag.

Upon first glance, it was indeed Crispy Fried Chicken!

Through the semi-transparent wrap, he could clearly see the enticing pieces of fried chicken inside the lunch box.

Haotian unconsciously swallowed his saliva, took out the fried chicken, but did not eat it directly; instead, he continued to take out other items from the bag.

Peach Blossom Brew, check!

Soda and fresh juice, check!

All the items he ordered were there. Just as Haotian was about to set the bag aside, he noticed it still had some weight to it, and there was another lunch box inside.

Upon picking it up and taking a closer look, it turned out to be a box of porridge?!

Looking at the item in his hands, Haotian was completely stunned. He hadn’t ordered this!

Frowning, he took out the delivery device, opened the lunch box’s packaging, and compared it with the picture on the Image Retaining Stone. The porridge in front of him looked exactly like the Peach Blossom Porridge.

What was going on?

"Your Majesty, what’s happened?" Taibai Jin approached, puzzled as to why His Majesty looked so bewildered.

After a pause of two breaths, Haotian shook his head and clicked his tongue in amazement, "I didn’t order this Peach Blossom Porridge. Why do I have an extra portion?"

"Could it be that Shopkeeper Chen has started to give away porridge for free?"

Free?! As soon as Haotian’s words fell, Taibai Jin’s eyes immediately lit up.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Taibai Jin hurriedly unpacked his own delivery package, searching through it back and forth.

But still, it was only the items he had ordered, not one less.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, Taibai Jin muttered, "Why don’t I have it?!"

He had thought he might get another dish for free, but why did only His Majesty have one, and not him? It was too unfair!

"Could it be that Shopkeeper Chen accidentally packed an extra one for Your Majesty while being busy?"

Seeing that Taibai Jin did not have Peach Blossom Porridge, Haotian immediately felt a sense of superiority, tilting his head up and retorting, "What do you mean, ’took the wrong one’?"

"It’s because you’re not a member! Just considering your level of spending, did you really expect Shopkeeper Chen to give you any discounts?" Haotian said with slight pride.

Taibai was stingy on a regular basis, and he would never spend money on Shopkeeper Chen’s cooking if he could get it for free. He had hardly ever paid for his own meals at Chaos Residence more than twice, yet he had the audacity to expect such a fortunate deal?

"Look at me; I almost max out my spending every time. That’s the difference!"

"That’s why Shopkeeper Chen gives me special treatment!"

Haotian felt cheerful. What is called face?

This is it!

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jin couldn’t help but complain internally. If he could be so lavish, he would certainly spend a lot every day too!

He hadn’t managed to save up much wealth in millions of years, so how could he bear to spend so much all at once?

Though that’s what his heart thought, his mouth continued to flatter as usual, "Your Majesty is magnanimous and a major client of Chaos Residence! It’s only right that you receive special treatment from Shopkeeper Chen!"

"Hahaha," Haotian laughed out loud.

This flattery hit right at Haotian’s heart, with Chen Nuo being the one person he held in the highest regard at the moment.

To be praised for being particularly important to Chaos Residence, how could he not be delighted?

Pointing at Taibai Jin with a gesture, Haotian laughed and chided, "You, you’re always so good at currying favor."

Having his flattery exposed didn’t embarrass Taibai Jin in the least; after years within the Heavenly Court, he had developed a thick skin.

With a sly grin, he replied, "This humble official is merely speaking the truth. It resonated in my heart so strongly that I couldn’t help but express it—it’s genuine sentiment!"

Haotian’s face held an even bigger smile, and he said no more. Instead, he leisurely opened up the lunch box of the sealed Peach Blossom Porridge that he was holding.

Taibai Jin couldn’t contain his curiosity and leaned in.

Haotian glared at him, shielding the lunch box with his hand, "What are you doing?"
