Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 402 Is Zhu Bajie Flirting with Girls?
"Whether or not I can do it isn’t up to me to decide, but being able to sell my drinks and have you guys drink them, now that’s my skill. Anyway, I believe I truly have the ability to do that."
"You’re really shameless, monkey." The Buddhist disciple threw the flyer on the ground and was about to stomp on it when Sun Wukong stopped him.
His foot was frozen in mid-air, unable to move. The disciple angrily said, "Let me go, do you really want to start your first day of business with the reputation of beating up customers?"
"Beating up customers?" Sun Wukong laughed.
"You clearly said you wouldn’t drink my drink, so since there’s no deal, where do you get the face to tell me you’re a customer?"
The disciple hesitated. He was still afraid of Sun Wukong in his heart. He only dared to speak rudely because he thought this was Buddhism’s territory and that Sun Wukong wouldn’t dare to act recklessly here. He didn’t expect Sun Wukong would truly dare to make a move against him in front of so many people.
"Go ahead and hit me. Anyway, this is our Buddha’s territory. If you hit me, Buddhism will make sure your shop can’t stay open!"
"Our Buddha’s territory?" Sun Wukong laughed again. "You take a good look again, where is this!"
Although he had greeted Maitreya, it was merely a greeting, and taking Buddhism’s place was not as simple as just greeting.
This also meant that Sun Wukong and Tian Peng would have to consider Buddhism’s face and even look to them for approval in whatever they did in the future.
On the contrary, from the Heavenly Court’s side, both the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor liked the dishes Chen Nuo made, they even awakened their divine skills because of eating Chen Nuo’s cuisine.
Looking at this situation, they owed Chen Nuo a favor, and because of this, Haotian took the initiative to propose that Sun Wukong take up the entire spot for his shop in the Heavenly Court’s territory.
Despite being close to Buddhism’s territory, it didn’t encroach on any of Buddhism’s land but was located on the edge of the Heavenly Court. After all, it was still the Heavenly Court’s territory.
The Buddhist disciple noticed this and was immediately at a loss for words. Then he started shouting again, "This place is so close to our Buddhism, you want to hit me for no reason, do you think the Buddha Ancestor will let you off again?"
"I want to hit you?" Sun Wukong appeared very surprised, "Who told you I was going to hit you? Tian Peng, tell me, was I going to hit him?"
"No, definitely not." Tian Peng honestly replied, "Mr. Monkey didn’t even touch you."
"Then what are you doing? Let me go!" the disciple shouted.
Sun Wukong walked step by step towards the disciple, who felt scared but couldn’t move, so he could only threaten with words.
"You still look like you’re going to hit me! Let me tell you, if you hit me, I’ll go back and complain to the Buddha Ancestor, and have him suppress you right away!"
Sun Wukong had already walked up to him; the disciple was frightened, closing his eyes and roaring with anger.
After waiting a while without feeling anything unusual on his body, he opened his eyes and found Sun Wukong had returned to where he had been standing before.
The disciple breathed a sigh of relief and mocked, "I knew you didn’t dare to hit me, you coward!"
"I don’t think I ever said I was going to hit you." Sun Wukong smoothed out the flyer in his hand.
"I just wanted to tell you not to throw flyers around, especially not in front of me. My master made these, and throwing the flyers away is a disrespect to my master. I didn’t do anything, I just picked up the flyers, that’s all."
Only then did the disciple notice that the flyer at his feet had disappeared. He swallowed nervously, "So you picked up the flyers, why haven’t you released me?"
"I have something else to tell you, I didn’t tamper with the dish, it was your group of senior brothers who couldn’t resist the temptation, so stop trying to pin this mess on me. Whoever wants to be responsible can carry the blame."
"You, you insolent monkey, if you hadn’t used your little tricks, my senior brothers would never have failed to resist the temptation. Just wait, I’m going back now to report to the Buddha Ancestor. You think you’re safe in danger, and even have the audacity to open a shop. The Buddha Ancestor above will certainly not show mercy again!"
Sun Wukong released the Freezing Spell, and the disciple disappeared in front of the milk tea shop while still shouting.
"Even such a little rascal dares to threaten Mr. Monkey; it seems they haven’t learned their lesson yet!" Tian Peng laughed as he watched the disciple disappear.
"Really, they never look at their own faults. Whenever there’s trouble, they try to put the blame on me. Do I look like I have such a generous capacity?"
Sun Wukong continued to distribute the flyers in his hand. After a while, he grew tired and conjured a clone to mechanically hand out flyers to the passing divine officials while he took a break.
Seeing Sun Wukong slacking off like that, Tian Peng used the same tactic and followed him back.
There were a few seats inside the milk tea shop. Actually, not many would sit there, but just in case, the shop had been equipped with seating when it opened, which now offered a resting place for the two of them.
The two hadn’t been resting for long when they suddenly heard a knock at the door. Sun Wukong didn’t want to move and kicked Tian Peng out to answer it.
Staggering outside, Tian Peng said, "We haven’t started business for today yet. Please come back tomorrow."
"Not open yet? What a pity." A gentle voice came from outside the door. Just by listening to the voice, one could tell that its owner must be good-looking.
Tian Peng looked up and saw a fairy wearing a wide-sleeved Luo skirt, with a slender waist and graceful posture, holding a fluffy white rabbit in her arms.
She had a pair of peach-blossom eyes with sparkling glances, a delicate and beautiful face that conveyed disappointment without even speaking.
This was none other than Fairy Chang’e from the Guanghan Palace.
"May I ask what time you are opening tomorrow?" Chang’e inquired.
"I asked Shopkeeper Chen, as I was actually interested in trying the milk tea. Unfortunately, this drink wasn’t available on the vending machine, only here, and I saw the flyer at the door and thought to come in and ask. Turns out it’s not available until tomorrow, what a shame."
"Ah, there’s no helping it. Today is just for promotion, Fairy Chang’e please wait for tomorrow." Though Tian Peng also felt it was a shame to miss out on Chang’e’s business, there was no way around it, rules couldn’t be broken.
"Is that so." Chang’e bit her lip, walked away two steps, then turned back around, "How about this, Lord Tian Peng, I pay you extra to make one for me in advance, can that be done?"
"Ah? This..." Tian Peng hesitated, as Chang’e, both in looks and demeanor, was exactly his type. He would’ve liked the opportunity to get closer to her.
But even so, he still had his wits about him, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done, "I’m really sorry, Fairy Chang’e. Tomorrow will come quickly; you’d better wait until then."
"Are you really saying it’s not possible?" Chang’e appeared even more disappointed. "I’ll pay three times the price, can we do it then?"
"It’s not about the money," Tian Peng said. "This shop isn’t just for profit. Besides, it’s only one day, go back and rest, it will be here before you know it."
"But there will be a lot of people tomorrow, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get one."
Chang’e sighed, causing even the little rabbit in her arms to droop its ears, looking utterly pitiable, "Then how about this—I’ll pay you now, and you reserve a cup for me first thing tomorrow, can you do that?"
