Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 399: Sun Wukong’s Temper, Nuwa is Anxious
Sun Wukong sprinkled the chicken wings with seasoning and came out to hand them to Xuan Feng and Nuwa, "My master is taking a nap right now, you all wait a bit."
After all, this was Nuwa, and Sun Wukong was just momentarily angry, his attitude became a bit better towards them after his anger subsided.
In his heart, Nuwa was the only one who could match his master.
"Fine, for the sake of your master, I won’t hold it against you," Nuwa said.
Xuan Feng ran over in two steps to take the chicken wings, "Then we’ll go wait first, and we’ll come to visit after your master wakes from his nap."
Xuan Feng and Nuwa went outside to wait together.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Nuo came downstairs, and Sun Wukong was still processing orders. Seeing that Sun Wukong had been busy all morning, Chen Nuo said sympathetically, "Haven’t I told you that you could take a break, yet you’ve been cooking until now?"
"Master, you’re up, it’s okay, I, Old Sun, have never taken a midday nap, and since the orders have to be processed at some point, even if I were to just sit around, I’d have nothing to do, it’s better for me to keep cooking."
Seeing Chen Nuo, Sun Wukong immediately brightened up.
"You should pay attention to balancing work and rest. If you always don’t rest, the taste of the food you make will also be affected," said Chen Nuo.
Sun Wukong laughed, "Master, rest assured, I won’t let the taste of the food be affected in any way."
"You know that’s not what I’m talking about."
Chen Nuo’s original intention was to let his disciple rest for a while, but he didn’t expect the monkey to be so stubborn.
"Don’t worry, Master, I’m not tired," Sun Wukong turned all naive as soon as he interacted with Chen Nuo.
Seeing Chen Nuo heading towards the storeroom, Sun Wukong called out, "Master, Nuwa is here, she’s waiting outside right now."
Chen Nuo paused in his steps, "Nuwa is here?"
As he said this, he activated his senses, indeed he could feel Nuwa and Xuan Feng sitting in the hall, so he turned around, "Alright, I got it."
Nuwa and Xuan Feng had already finished the honey-roasted chicken wings Sun Wukong had given them in the hall.
Xuan Feng had kept only one string for himself and had given the rest to Nuwa, even all of the chicken wings were not enough for her.
"Sun Wukong gave us four strings, clearly intending two strings for each of us, why are you giving me your share?" she asked.
Xuan Feng declined, "Your Highness, please don’t be so polite with me. I know, even four strings of such delicious roasted chicken wings wouldn’t be enough for you alone. You go ahead and eat, don’t worry about me."
Nuwa snorted coldly, "Oh, so you know that, then why didn’t you give all four strings to me?"
Xuan Feng was stunned, looking at the single string of chicken wings in his hand, he felt reluctant to part with it. Biting his lip with a look of grievance, he handed his chicken wings to Nuwa, "Your Highness, the chicken wings are for you."
Nuwa laughed out loud at Xuan Feng’s reaction, "Hehe, you really gave them to me?"
Xuan Feng, seeing Nuwa’s smile, was stunned again. Her Highness’s smile was truly beautiful, she never used to smile like this.
Ever since Chaos Residence opened, enjoying so many delicious foods, her smiles also became more frequent.
She treated him much gentler than before, not that she was ever bad, just now she was even more gentle.
"I’ve already handed them over, naturally they are for Your Highness."
Nuwa took the chicken wings, bit into one, and the first thing that hit her was the unique aroma of cumin. Once the cumin seeds were crunched, that unique flavor of cumin burst forth in her mouth.
Then came the sweetness of honey. This honey was spread on the surface of the chicken wings, and after being roasted by the flame, there was not only the scorched aroma of the wings but also the sweetness of honey, making it impossible to stop after one bite.
Xuan Feng watched as Nuwa bit into chicken wings, her mouth watering so much she had to turn her head and swallow the saliva that had pooled in her mouth.
Although she didn’t get a taste, just watching seemed delicious. She really blamed herself for being too greedy; even if she didn’t offer any to Nuwa, Nuwa wouldn’t be annoyed with her, but she still did.
Nuwa, while eating, looked at Xuan Feng’s reaction with amusement. It was as she expected, consistently adorable.
After finishing one chicken wing, when Nuwa was about to eat another, she saw Xuan Feng seemed like she wanted to say something. Xuan Feng opened her mouth but then closed it again, swallowing what she wanted to say.
"Do you want to eat?" Nuwa asked.
Xuan Feng nodded honestly, then shook her head, "Goddess, please eat. Although I’m a bit greedy, I’m not hungry at all. You have it all."
Nuwa placed the two untouched chicken wings in front of Xuan Feng. "Here you go."
Xuan Feng reached out to take them but then pulled back, "I’m not eating, I can hold back. You go ahead, Goddess. I’m about to lose my restraint."
"So you’re saying you don’t want to eat?" Nuwa asked, chuckling.
Xuan Feng gritted her teeth and nodded, "I don’t want to eat, please go ahead, Goddess."
"Okay then, I’ll eat," said Nuwa, pulling the wings back. "The flavor of these chicken wings is truly amazing, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and even filled with juices inside, such a pity, I can only enjoy them by myself."
Listening to Nuwa describing them made Xuan Feng’s mouth water again, and she turned her head even further away, deciding that if Nuwa said another word, she would cover her ears too.
"One skewer of chicken wings is indeed not enough," Nuwa said, placing the skewer on the table.
With a tap, she took out another skewer. "I’m starting to eat the second skewer now, it’s a shame, Xuan Feng still can’t have any."
Xuan Feng turned and said, "Goddess, if you’re going to eat, then eat. Why keep tempting me?"
That was exactly the reaction Nuwa wanted, so she offered the chicken wings to Xuan Feng again, "Eat?"
"Eat," Xuan Feng could no longer resist and started eating the wings.
The chicken wings were truly delicious, just as Goddess Nuwa had described: the skin was fragrant and crispy, with some spots so thin they were crunchy.
The meat inside was also incredibly tender, prompting one to keep eating bite after bite until the whole skewer was gone, quickly moving on to the second.
As Xuan Feng was gnawing the last wing of the second skewer, Chen Nuo walked in.
By that time, Nuwa had finished eating and had just wiped her mouth with a handkerchief when Chen Nuo walked in with long strides.
"Goddess Nuwa graces us with her presence; I apologize for being late."
Nuwa quickly stood up and cleared her throat, "I didn’t make an appointment before coming, so it is we who have been impolite."
Luckily, Shopkeeper Chen had arrived just in time, Nuwa felt relieved.
She was glad he had come right after she had wiped her mouth. Had he come a step later and seen her gnawing on chicken wings or wiping her mouth, it wouldn’t have been a pretty sight.
Thankfully, Chen Nuo arrived when she had just finished these actions, sparing him from witnessing an unseemly scene.
"Did you come here to eat?" Chen Nuo asked as he walked over with tea, pouring two cups for Nuwa.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality. Wukong is so busy he’s confused and overheated, making you sit for so long without even offering tea."
Actually, the two of them had already complained about Sun Wukong not serving tea, but it felt different hearing it from Shopkeeper Chen.
Nuwa quickly waved her hand, "It’s alright, it’s alright. When we came in, Sun Wukong was so busy, yet he still roasted chicken wings for us. That was already very courteous."
