Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 48. This shop does not employ idlers

Tongtian’s eyes instantly sharpened, and he fiercely slashed the Green Duckweed Sword horizontally towards Qilin Cliff.

Hum!

Qilin Cliff suddenly activated the elaborate prohibitions personally set by Laozi, which was also the reason why even Saints locked up in Zixiao Palace could not rescue Yunxiao.

However, before Tongtian’s sword light, these multiple prohibitions were as if nonexistent, and even Laozi’s Exquisite Tower couldn’t block Tongtian’s strike!

What to speak of the few remaining prohibitions?

Like slicing tofu, the entire Qilin Cliff was instantly cleaved diagonally.

With a rumble, the whole Qilin Cliff began to plummet downwards.

This is!

Yunxiao’s pupils constricted. Qilin Cliff had actually been destroyed!

He immediately stood up and, looking up, saw a familiar figure in a purple Taoist robe, an imposing presence permeating the skies.

"Master!" Yunxiao exclaimed excitedly.

With a beckoning gesture from Tongtian’s hand, Yunxiao seemed to be guided, flying towards him, feeling his cultivation and weakened state being sealed.

A hint of coldness flashed in Tongtian’s eyes. If he had known earlier, he should have paid more attention to Laozi’s Exquisite Tower.

With a flick of his finger, Yunxiao instantaneously restored his Quasi-Saint cultivation.

His depleted mana and weakened body gradually recovered.

"Thank you, Master!" Yunxiao hurriedly said with respectful thanks.

Tongtian shook his head and said, "It is the teacher who has arrived late." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"No, disciple knew that Master would not give up on me!" Yunxiao hurriedly explained.

You do think highly of me...

Tongtian gave a bitter smile without speaking, realizing that if it wasn’t for Shopkeeper Chen’s words, he might not have awakened yet.

Yunxiao observed Tongtian, sensing his aura, slightly surprised in his heart. He felt that Master was the same as before, yet something seemed different.

Tongtian cast a cold glance towards Lord Taishang and then looked at Yunxiao, "Let’s go, follow your teacher to a place."

Having said this, Tongtian disappeared on the spot with Yunxiao, leaving Lord Taishang gazing at the barren Qilin Cliff.

The next moment, the two appeared at the doorstep of Chaos Residence.

"Shopkeeper, I have returned!" Tongtian called out as he entered.

Hearing this voice, Chen Nuo was somewhat astonished. It hadn’t been long, and they had returned already?

"Is your man back?" Chen Nuo quirked an eyebrow.

Tongtian nodded and stepped aside to reveal Yunxiao standing behind him, smiling as he said, "This is my disciple Yunxiao. Yunxiao, this is Shopkeeper Chen."

Yunxiao stepped forward and politely greeted, "Yunxiao pays respects to Shopkeeper Chen."

Although she didn’t understand why the esteemed Master asked her to show courtesy to a small restaurant shopkeeper, she chose to do as instructed.

Yunxiao?

Chen Nuo’s mind stirred. So the important person Tongtian had mentioned was to save that renowned Three Xiao Goddesses’ eldest sister.

Though not the highest in cultivation among the Three Xiao Goddesses, she was definitely among the most accomplished in battle. With her Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, she had single-handedly disrupted the Three Flowers and Five Qi of the twelve Golden Immortals.

As the eldest sister amongst the Three Xiao Goddesses, Yunxiao possessed profound cultivation and a gentle nature. If not for her elder brother Zhao Gongming’s downfall, the Three Xiao Goddesses would not have met such a fate.

As for her looks, she was divinely graceful and had a celestial appearance.

Chen Nuo nodded, not paying too much attention, as he himself was not the womanizing type. He was more curious as to why Tongtian had returned.

"Tongtian earnestly requests that the Shopkeeper take in this disciple of mine!"

Chen Nuo immediately had a face full of question marks. What the heck was this all about, taking in Yunxiao? Did he look like a shelter to him?

"Master?! Sister Yunxiao!" Suddenly hearing the name Yunxiao from the back kitchen, Bull Demon King rushed over and, seeing the two familiar figures, was moved to tears.

Yunxiao was also very surprised, "Little Kui? What are you doing here?"

Pfft!

Chen Nuo almost burst out laughing, he hadn’t expected the fearsome Bull Demon King of the Demon Realm to have such a cutesy name.

"Uh, I’m just working part-time in Shopkeeper Chen’s restaurant," said the Bull Demon King with an awkward smile.

Then he scurried over to Tongtian, fawningly saying, "Master, hehe, what brings you here?"

Tongtian looked at the Bull Demon King’s humble demeanor and feigned a cold snort, "I’ve been here a while, it was you who gave me the menu and the Peach Blossom Brew!"

The Bull Demon King’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Was that... you just now, Master?"

"Yes," Tongtian said with interest, playfully adding, "I was that beggar just now."

With that one sentence, the Bull Demon King shuddered, hastily replying with a servile smile, "How could that be, Master? You are always so majestic and extraordinary, it couldn’t have been. You must have heard wrong!"

Chen Nuo, who had been watching the scene with amusement, couldn’t help but smile wryly. He hadn’t expected the Bull Demon King to be so submissive in the Jie School, but then again, this was typical Jie School behavior. If it were the Primordial Saint, a slap would have already been delivered.

"Niu, what’s going on?" At that moment, the Roc Demon King, who had been diligently working in the kitchen, also poked his head out.

Seeing the Bull Demon King’s frightened look, he thought the Bull Demon King had been beaten up, and became instantly furious.

"Hey, you there, daring to make trouble in Chaos Residence, are you tired of living?" Roc Demon King shouted aggressively, charging forward with a threatening aura.

He had been itching to put his newly awakened Feather Flash Divine Skill into practice, and he had not yet had an opportunity for real combat.

Chen Nuo clicked his tongue in admiration, surprised to see Little Roc’s spirit of defiance.

He knew that the Roc Demon King had misunderstood the situation, but nonetheless, his spirit of not fearing death for the sake of the restaurant was commendable.

Tongtian didn’t make a move, while Yunxiao glanced over indifferently.

Instantly, Roc Demon King trembled all over, cold sweat beading his forehead, "This woman’s oppressive force is so strong!"

"Um, Shopkeeper, I better go back to the kitchen to keep cleaning," Roc Demon King said with a strained smile, greeting Chen Nuo before attempting to make his escape.

However, the Bull Demon King wasn’t about to let him off so easily. A good brother should share hardships, so he cheerfully dragged the Roc Demon King over to Tongtian.

"Master, this is my good friend, the Roc Demon King."

Master?

Roc Demon King didn’t react at first, standing there dumbly.

But then it hit him, and his bird eyes nearly popped out—Niu’s master could only be that one person, couldn’t it?!

Shit, this is a trap!

Thinking back to his own disrespectful words from a while ago, Roc Demon King nearly fainted from fright.

Although his old man was a Quasi-Saint, it did not count for much in the presence of a Saint.

"I, I, I’ve met..." Roc Demon King’s legs trembled, about to kneel.

But Tongtian casually lifted his hand, preventing Roc Demon King from kneeling.

"When have I seen you so often?" Tongtian joked.

He was not one to hold grudges over petty issues, especially since this was happening in Shopkeeper Chen’s premises.

Seeing Roc Demon King’s almost tearful look, Chen Nuo came to his rescue, "Tongtian, what are you doing sending your people to my place?"

"I’m about to return to Zixiao Palace for closed-door cultivation, and I don’t know how long it will be before I return, so I was worried about my disciple," Tongtian said with a smile.

He couldn’t see through Shopkeeper Chen, but he was sure that Chen’s strength was above his.

With only seven Saints in the heavens and on earth, including the Lord Taishang, the existence of an enigmatic and unpredictable character like Shopkeeper Chen who broke all conventions was a rarity.

Furthermore, with the mysterious formations in this place, it was the safest spot under the heavens. Perhaps, this was the lifeline that the heavens had left for his Jie School.

Chen Nuo shook his head, "This establishment doesn’t keep idlers."

Even beautiful fairies were no exception!
