Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 55: Take me for a monkey?

"What’s going on, I haven’t provoked them at all!"

This kind of face-destroying act was indeed extremely hateful, but after some thought, Tathagata decided not to intervene.

Even though he had defected from the Jie School, he still harbored brotherly affection for these three junior sisters.

Let them be, perhaps they were just resenting him, the traitorous eldest brother. Once they vented, it would be fine.

The matter of the Journey to the West was the most important at the moment.

Now that the Monkey had appeared again, it was crucial to seize the opportunity to plan for the Journey to the West. If he didn’t remind Heavenly Court, they certainly wouldn’t take the initiative.

Meanwhile, the three women went to a pawn shop in the mortal world, transformed into merchant-like figures, and pawned the few gold nuggets for a total of fifteen thousand silver taels.

If it weren’t for the Golden Body not being particularly pure, they might have obtained even more silver taels.

With the money in hand, Yunxiao led Erxiao to the Chaos Residence.

"If one doesn’t walk close, even if looking down upon the entirety of Mount Fangcun, it’s impossible to notice the slightest bit." Qiong Xiao was shocked by the layout of Chaos Residence and tried to discern some clues.

The three sisters had a profound grasp of their master’s Formation knowledge, yet their efforts were in vain.

Upon entering, an intoxicating scent of peachy fragrance wafted over, instantly lifting the spirits of the Three Xiaos.

"How sweet and fragrant!" Bixiao couldn’t help but exclaim, greedily inhaling the aroma.

As soon as Yunxiao stepped into the range of Chaos Residence, Chen Nuo was already aware of the visitors and came out from the back kitchen. Seeing Yunxiao and the two young women following her, he smiled.

Indeed, Yunxiao’s return was sure to bring two customers.

"What, got some money?" Chen Nuo asked lightly.

"Yes," Yunxiao nodded.

Though Shopkeeper Chen’s treatment of people was somewhat unsentimental, it did not evoke any feelings of disgust in her.

"Order whatever you’d like to eat, but just to be clear, apart from Peach Blossom Brew, there is a limit of one purchase per day for the rest of the items," Chen Nuo said.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what is this? It smells so good!" Bixiao asked eagerly, taking another deep breath of the aroma.

"Peach Blossom Brew."

"Give me ten jars!" Bixiao boldly declared.

Chen Nuo shook his head, "There are none left, the extras have all been bought by that Tongtian guy; only four small jars remain."

Tongtian... that guy?! Both Qiong Xiao and Bixiao were flabbergasted. Although their eldest sister had mentioned that their master and this shopkeeper had a good relationship, they didn’t expect it to be to such an extent!

Bixiao was still okay, but Qiong Xiao’s face was tinged with a hint of coldness.

Regaining her composure, Bixiao asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, we heard from our big sister that Little Kui is here?"

Chen Nuo nodded and shouted towards the kitchen, "Little Kui, someone’s calling you, come out."

The Bull Demon King, who had been toiling away in the kitchen, shrank his neck, feeling a premonition of doom.

"Brother Bull, Shopkeeper Chen is calling you," the Roc Demon King said while scrubbing the jars of brew.

"I’m not stupid!" Bull Demon King retorted gruffly.

The moment he heard the voice from outside, he knew who it was—it was his inescapable nightmare!

With a heavy sigh, the Bull Demon King walked out of the kitchen, the picture of doomed valiance.

As soon as he came out, before he could say anything, the Bull Demon King felt a blur before his eyes, then a sharp pain in his ears.

"Look at you, Little Kui! You know your granny’s here, and you don’t come out to greet me! Do I really have to call your name to get you to show up?"

Bixiao dragged Bull Demon King by the ear as if to pull him outside.

"No, no, no! Granny! Please listen to me, I was just busy working a moment ago," Bull Demon King howled apologetically, struggling but not daring to resist too much.

Chen Nuo shook his head helplessly. How was it that both employees he had found were such pushovers? Even the mighty Bull Demon King of the Demon Realm was like this?

"Hmph, as if you’d dare do anything else!"

Bixiao seemed reasonably satisfied with the explanation.

"Alright, Bixiao, stop it," Yunxiao said in a soft chiding voice.

Bixiao pouted but ultimately let go of the Bull Demon King’s ear, which felt very comfortable to touch.

"Greetings to Sister Yunxiao, and Sister Qiong Xiao," the Bull Demon King sent a grateful glance towards Yunxiao and respectfully spoke to the two ladies.

Chen Nuo watched the whole scene, finding it somewhat amusing. Why did the Bull Demon King seem so humble when members of the Jie School arrived?

What exactly was the status of this Bull Demon King in the Jie School?

"Little Kui, you’ve been here for some time now, help me take a look, what’s the best dish?" Yunxiao asked with a smile and a nod.

Today was a day of reunion for the sisters, and since Little Kui had praised the restaurant so highly, they decided to have a meal here.

"The best dish? Impossible! Everything that Shopkeeper Chen makes is the best!"

When it came to food, the Bull Demon King was ready to put his words into action, scurrying over to the counter to pick up the menu.

"Sister, look at this fried rice with eggs, the taste..."

"Sister, then look at this roasted lamb leg, the flavor..."

As soon as the Bull Demon King opened his mouth, he couldn’t stop praising every single dish, to the point where even Chen Nuo felt a bit embarrassed.

You’ve drunk your Vital Blood as wine, and there are dishes here you haven’t even tasted, and you praise them like this?

Goodness, Chen Nuo now knew what the Bull Demon King was suitable for.

From now on, this restaurant’s promotions were definitely the Bull Demon King’s job.

On this side, the Bull Demon King kept praising until his mouth was dry and his tongue tired, having lavished compliments on every single dish.

"Is it really that delicious? Little Kui, if you’re lying to me, you’re dead!" Bixiao said skeptically, glaring at the Bull Demon King with a fierce threat.

Well...

The Bull Demon King took a half step back, feeling somewhat guilty. He hadn’t exaggerated too much, had he?

After all, he was considering the business of the restaurant. Even if he got beaten up, Shopkeeper Chen would surely be on his side.

After pondering for a moment, Yunxiao pointed gracefully to the words on the menu and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, give me a bowl of Flying Dragon Soup."

"And you, the other two?" Yunxiao turned and looked at Qiong Xiao.

However, Qiong Xiao did not speak; instead, she stared intently at Chen Nuo, her eyes filled with wariness.

"Who exactly are you, and what is your cultivation level?"

In a cold tone, Qiong Xiao tried to conceal the unease within her heart.

"Me?"

Chen Nuo shrugged. Why had the attention suddenly turned to him?

"I’m just an ordinary little restaurant owner. As for my cultivation level, whatever you think I am, that’s what I am," Chen Nuo said indifferently but added in his mind that no matter what it was, he could handle it.

With a light stomp of the foot, the Dharma and Spiritual Sense that had been on him instantaneously snapped back.

Qiong Xiao felt a pain in her sea of consciousness and couldn’t help but grunt, her face turning pale.

"Erxiao!" Yunxiao’s brows furrowed in concern as she quickly stopped Qiong Xiao, then apologetically said, "Sorry, my sister has always been like this."

"There won’t be a next time," Chen Nuo said darkly.

Really, did they think he was a monkey to be stared at? A quick sweep was all it took and to place the Spiritual Sense on him without moving, how incredibly brazen.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for your mercy," Yunxiao said, bowing deeply in gratitude.

She gently touched Qiong Xiao’s back, infusing Dharma to accelerate the healing of her sea of consciousness.

"Do you feel better?"

"Mmm," Qiong Xiao’s face regained some color.

Despite this, her gaze towards Chen Nuo was still filled with lingering fear.

This man was terrifying; no wonder the Master had made an ally of him.
