Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 57 Bixiao Awakening Divine Skills

Doubtful yet curious, Qiong Xiao brought her red lips to the dish, and delicately bit into it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Flaky, the tightly smoked duck skin was both tough and flaky; traces of fat seeped out like dust—gently there, yet barely felt, compelling Qiong Xiao to wish to linger in that moment.

Tingling, before she could fully savor the deliciousness, an unexpected tingling sensation had already overtaken her lips.

Spicy, along with the tingling came an endless heat, like countless little needles fiercely pricking her tongue, causing Qiong Xiao unbearable pain.

The taste was not just rampaging in her mouth but also shot upwards, numbing her scalp.

"So spicy!" Even with her peak Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation, Qiong Xiao was instantly overwhelmed.

Her usually pale and indifferent face was now flushed with redness; her eyes, typically frosty and sharp, melted like winter snow, and even her smooth forehead was beaded with a fine sweat, some of which had already begun tracing down her cheeks.

The cold demeanor dissipated, replaced instead by a mix of naiveté and allure.

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you have any water?" At this point, Qiong Xiao couldn’t be bothered to guard against Chen Nuo; her tongue out and breathing haphazardly, she asked urgently.

Chen Nuo couldn’t help the mischievous grin. Let’s see who doubts my culinary skills now.

Nodding, Chen Nuo leisurely responded, "Water, yes, we have two kinds in our shop, one is Flat Peach Juice...

"That one!" Qiong Xiao hissed, hastily cutting Chen Nuo off as she drew in a breath of cool air.

"Flat Peach Juice will be half the price of your meal, let’s make it a thousand taels," Chen Nuo said without haste, the epitome of ’no bunny, no work.’

As for whether the water was expensive or not, Qiong Xiao couldn’t care less at that moment, she rushed forward and placed all her remaining money from Yunxiao directly on top of the crystal ball.

Chen Nuo’s ears instantly rang with the notification of three thousand taels being deposited.

"Go, fetch a cup," said Chen Nuo nonchalantly.

The Bull Demon King, seeing his Senior Sister suffering so, dared not delay and quickly scrambled to fetch a cup.

As she took the Flat Peach Juice handed to her by the Bull Demon King, Qiong Xiao felt the coolness at her fingertips and rejoiced inwardly; she just couldn’t stand the burning any longer.

She gulped down a big mouthful, yet the moment it hit her palate, her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

Two lines of tears, no longer containable, streamed down her face.

Spicy!

Qiong Xiao’s mind was somewhat baffled; she had thought this icy substance would ease the spiciness.

But to her surprise, when her tongue touched it, the spiciness intensified, making it completely unbearable for her.

In a panic, Qiong Xiao wiped away her tears, lightly covering her reddened lips, her face burning with embarrassment—so embarrassing!

This was the first time that Qiong Xiao had lost her composure since her transformation, but the taste was really, really good!

Subconsciously, Qiong Xiao murmured in her heart, not waiting long to think upon it, as another wave of spice hit her.

Qiong Xiao took another sip of Flat Peach Juice, prepared for the cold and spice mixture, managing to withstand it.

After the struggle, she felt an indescribable relief and comfort in body and soul, almost as if she had to express it or burst.

Although it was very spicy, it was also delicious; satisfaction gleamed in Qiong Xiao’s upturned eyes as she nabbed another piece of duck. A bite of spicy duck followed by a swig of Flat Peach Juice—what a delight!

Qiong Xiao had completely forgotten her dignity, engrossed in the deliciousness.

Among the Three Xiaos, only Yunxiao remained poised at that moment—if one ignored the involuntary smiles that kept breaking out on her face.

As for Bixiao?

She had been transformed into a voracious eater since her very first bite.

Chen Nuo couldn’t help but chuckle silently. The Three Xiao Goddesses, formidable at the Nine Curves Great Formation and known for their ferocity, who would have thought that when faced with food, they would show such a side.

Certainly, anyone else witnessing this would be astounded.

Looking toward the Bull Demon King and the two monsters, Chen Nuo saw exactly that.

"Shopkeeper Chen, another bowl, please!" The fastest, Bixiao, had already licked her bowl clean.

"I already said, only one bowl per day," Chen Nuo flatly refused.

Every diner has asked if they could have more, and he was getting tired of replying.

"What!?"

Bixiao pouted, showing a face full of disappointment. What’s the purpose of life without Chaos Residence’s food?

Just a bowl of noodles had already captured Bixiao’s heart!

She turned her head just in time to see Qiong Xiao stuffing herself with pressed duck and sipping flat peach juice.

Bixiao’s eyes gleamed shrewdly as she sneakily reached out her little paw, hoping to swipe something for herself.

Smack!

Bixiao’s hand was mercilessly slapped away by Qiong Xiao, whose eyes were sharp and protective like a mother tiger guarding her food!

Thinking of stealing her pressed duck? No way!

Even though Qiong Xiao’s lips were slightly swollen from eating, she showed no sign of relenting.

Bixiao smiled brightly but didn’t dare say anything; she knew that once Erxiao got like this, she was dead serious. Although she was usually playful, she knew what things she should not do.

Stingy!

Bixiao muttered to herself and then shifted her gaze to her eldest sister, Yunxiao.

Eldest sister was always gentle, surely she would share some with her, Bixiao thought delightedly.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a moment of clarity in her head and quickly embraced her Primordial Spirit, starting to cultivate the Supreme Purity Skills.

Bixiao’s movement woke Erxiao.

"What’s going on with our little sister?" Yunxiao asked in surprise as she set down her spoon.

"She’s about to awaken."

Erxiao, upon hearing Chen Nuo’s words, looked astonished.

About to awaken?

Could it be that the food served at Chaos Residence is really, as Little Kui had said, capable of awakening Divine Skills?

Erxiao’s heart fluttered with excitement, and she ate even faster. Even Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints need Divine Skills.

So did Saints!

Saint Nuwa was able to create humans and mend the sky because she had masterfully wielded the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Dharmas and refined her cultivation to the utmost with sun-bathing.

Divine Skills, no one would consider them too many.

Qiong Xiao stopped drinking her flat peach juice and Yunxiao started directly on the flying dragon meat.

The saying goes, dragon’s head above and donkey’s meat below—the dragon here being the Flying Dragon Bird. The meat of the flying dragon was naturally tender and there’s no need to describe its taste.

Not to mention that the flying dragon soup was prepared by Chen Nuo, an inherited skill.

She was instantly lost in the savory delight, enjoying her food.

Despite her quick pace, her manners were still better than Qiong Xiao’s and Bixiao’s...

Finally, after Qiong Xiao had completely devoured the pressed duck and Yunxiao ate most of the flying dragon meat, Erxiao frowned simultaneously, sensing memories flooding into her mind.

Her Mind and Spirit submerged in them.

"Ding, Bixiao consumed the beef noodles, awakening the Divine Skill ’Abyss Devouring,’ do you wish to synchronize the awakening?"

Abyss Devouring? Chen Nuo was stunned. It sounded pretty impressive. But after reading the skill description, he was lined with frustration.

Abyss Devouring, capable of absorbing all energy from consumed items to strengthen oneself, the higher the tier, the more pronounced the effect.

Uh... wasn’t this Divine Skill specifically made for foodies?

No wonder Bixiao ate so fast; it turned out she had this kind of talent!

Although this Divine Skill was not one for combat, looking at the bigger picture, it was pretty awesome.

"Accept," Chen Nuo said inwardly.

The moment the inheritance ended, it might have been his imagination, but he felt as if his own stomach had grown a bit hungry.

Powerful!

The effect was immediate!

After a while, Bixiao’s inheritance ended, and she opened her eyes, which brimmed with unhidden joy. She had actually awakened a Divine Skill!

"Shopkeeper Chen, how in the world did you do this?" Bixiao asked, overflowing with excitement and disbelief.
