Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 103: The Bull and the Roc Demon King Awaken Again
"If all else fails, we’ll just have to continue serving the previous dishes," the God of Cookery sighed deeply, realizing they were truly at their wit’s end.
The development of new dishes was not as simple as casual doodling—far from it.
Let alone meeting the standards of the Flat Peach event.
The Kitchen God shook his head with a bitter smile, "But the Queen Mother has already agreed to three hundred and sixty-five dishes, so it has to be three hundred and sixty-five."
The Two Deities, each expressing their opinions back and forth; only Sun Wukong, his gaze flickering, seemed to be pondering something deep in his thoughts.
On this side, Chen Nuo didn’t bother discussing new dishes with the Roc Demon King and the others due to incomplete preparations caused by lacking ingredients.
Focus on finishing the cooking.
"Little Kui, serve the dishes!" Chen Nuo shouted.
Don’t think you’re off the hook from chores just because you ordered food!
"Coming!" The Bull Demon King scurried over to help.
As the food was served at the table, Bixiao was already impatient.
No sooner had the dish been placed than the sauce-coated duck appeared in Bixiao’s hands.
"I’m starting to eat, okay!" Bixiao called out perfunctorily, picking up a piece and popping it into her mouth.
"So spicy!"
Bixiao’s face scrunched up, she stuck out her tongue panting and sucking in the cool air.
However, even though it was very spicy, the distinctive flavor of the sauce-coated duck had already captured Bixiao’s taste buds in an instant.
"Water, water!" Despite being overwhelmed by the spiciness, her eating pace didn’t slow at all.
Chen Nuo couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight; truly, you are a lightning-fast eater!
"What do you need water for?" Chen Nuo beckoned with his hand, summoning the menu.
Bixiao glanced at it and said, "Then I’ll have this flat peach juice, please."
Chen Nuo nodded and then turned to the Bull Demon King, instructing, "Go get a cup."
The Bull Demon King looked stunned, "Why is it always me, huh?"
He’s a customer now too, alright?
But he didn’t protest further and had already left his seat as he spoke.
"Niu, get me a cup of flat peach soda too," the Roc Demon King chimed in, chuckling.
After shooting a venomous glance at the Bull Demon King, the Bull Demon King went off, full of resentment.
"Ah, refreshing!" The Roc Demon King took a big gulp, letting out a satisfying burp.
His eyes narrowed, a picture of contentment.
As for the flat peach juice, after Chen Nuo developed soda, almost no one ordered it anymore—the new drink was just too delicious.
Once tasted, it brought pleasure to body and soul.
Meanwhile, Bixiao also tilted her head back, drinking the flat peach juice, its sweet freshness chased away most of the spiciness.
But Bixiao was not completely lost in indulgence; she looked surprised at the cup in front of her. Is this really the taste of flat peaches?
She had heard from her older sister that the entire backyard was full of flat peach trees, but now that flat peaches had turned into juice, even the Queen Mother wouldn’t be so extravagant, would she?
Bravo, Shopkeeper Chen!
Erxiao and the two demons started eating, and the hall was filled with the sound of dining.
Watching everyone enjoy their meal, Chen Nuo’s face held a faint smile.
Being able to captivate these legendary figures with his food, he couldn’t help but feel a little pride swell within him.
Time passed, and everyone had almost finished eating.
Suddenly, the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King both fell into a state of sudden enlightenment.
Whoosh!
Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow; were these two finally about to unlock their second Divine Skills?
"Shopkeeper Chen? Are they about to awaken Divine Skills?" Bixiao noticed the situation with the two demons.
"Yes." Chen Nuo nodded.
Upon hearing this, Bixiao glanced at the red-braised meat left by the Bull Demon King, which still looked appetizing, and with a flicker in her clever eyes, she smiled and took it away.
"Since they’ve awakened, there’s no point in continuing to eat. It’s a waste. I might as well help myself," she explained very seriously.
After speaking, she alternated between bites of sauce-coated duck and red-braised meat—the flavors truly lingered.
"..." Chen Nuo was somewhat speechless. You really have some nerve.
"Ding! The Bull Demon King consumed red-braised meat, awakening Divine Skill ’Reverse the Heavens Underfoot’. Would you like to awaken it synchronously?"
"Ding! The Roc Demon King ate crispy fried chicken, awakening Divine Skill ’Sky-Shaking Cloud Wings’. Would you like to awaken it synchronously?"
’Reverse the Heavens Underfoot’: Manifests a phantom of one’s own body, capable of overshadowing the sky, and wherever the phantom looms, everything feels suppressed.
’Sky-Shaking Cloud Wings’: Conjure wings outside the body, greatly increasing speed, which can stack with the original speed. The wings can also protect as shields.
Not bad at all.
Chen Nuo nodded. Although they weren’t overly excessive, both were very practical Divine Skills.
’Reverse the Heavens Underfoot’, a skill that overpowers with sheer force, suited the Bull Demon King well—it must be noted that although he was obedient here, he was quite domineering outside.
For the Roc Demon King, whose bird form had its wings transform into arms, achieving high speed required reverting to his Kunpeng true form.
However, because the true form was so enormous, it was at a disadvantage in combat.
There lies the reason why the human form is favored by fate—it’s the most convenient and all-purpose form.
Now with this Divine Skill, the Roc Demon King’s regular battle capabilities would significantly improve, like a tiger growing wings.
"Awaken," Chen Nuo silently commanded.
Having this skill for himself would be fun when used alongside ’Heaven-Imprisoning Finger’ and ’Magic Power Wings’—truly terrifying.
After a while, the two demons excitedly opened their eyes.
They looked at each other, and it was as if their eyes were saying they finally awoke their second Divine Skill.
Thinking about all the Vital Blood he had lost during this time, the Bull Demon King’s heart bled.
He had always been on the brink of anemia, hopping back and forth, and once he got back, he would definitely need to show off to his wife.
The Roc Demon King was also jumping for joy, understanding the value of awakening the ’Sky-Shaking Cloud Wings’.
He couldn’t help feeling smug about it.
Now, he was curious to see how his father would criticize his lack of speed!
Thinking about his glorious return, the Bull Demon King was overjoyed. As he looked down to polish off the rest of his red-braised meat, he was shocked to find nothing left in front of him.
With a puzzled expression, he turned his head and saw the familiar empty plate on the Queen Mother’s table and the oily sheen that still lingered on Bixiao’s lips.
The Bull Demon King’s breath hitched—his heart was bleeding!
"You!" In his panic, the Bull Demon King was about to confront her.
"Hmm?" Bixiao raised her eyebrows with a cold gaze towards the Bull Demon King, showing a hint of menace.
"Did the Mistress enjoy her meal?" the Bull Demon King asked, trying to curry favor, though inside he felt like crying without tears. Who could know his joys and sorrows?
Bixiao huffed and looked away. Considering his proper attitude, she decided to let him off this time.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I want to discuss something with you..." The Bull Demon King turned to Chen Nuo, looking quite constrained.
"Speak," Chen Nuo said casually.
"I was thinking... of taking some time off to see my wife," the Bull Demon King said with a grin, scratching his head, somewhat embarrassed.
Chen Nuo’s initially calm expression suddenly became grim.
Damn it!
In his previous life, he was often shown off to, but how come it’s even worse in this world? He was literally facialed with dog food.
Seeing Chen Nuo’s displeasure, the Bull Demon King, startled, tentatively said, "Shopkeeper Chen, if you don’t agree, I won’t go back either?"
"Go ahead, go!" Chen Nuo waved his hand dismissively.
