Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 58 Erxiao Awakens Divine Skills

Chen Nuo’s expression remained calm as he said boastfully, "Because of excellence, because of talent!"

By some lucky coincidence, both Bixiao and the Bull Demon King believed him.

"Shopkeeper Chen is awesome!" Having followed Chen Nuo for a few days, the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King had naturally picked up the same annoying habit from Sun Wukong!

Constant praise, how annoying, it didn’t leave anyone any room to be modest!

Bixiao glanced at her two sisters and noticed they were also operating their cultivation techniques, nodding thoughtfully, it seemed that both the eldest sister and the middle sister were about to awaken divine skills too.

However, her gaze locked onto the remaining Flying Dragon Soup in front of Yunxiao and couldn’t shift away.

It looked so tempting and she desperately wanted to eat it!

Once the thought had entered Bixiao’s mind, it was hard to let go, especially after she had awakened the Abyss Devouring divine skill, that big bowl of beef noodles she had earlier felt like nothing.

Swallowing mouthfuls of saliva, Bixiao’s petite body transformed into a green streak of light, appearing in front of Flying Dragon Hall in an instant.

Her speed made the Roc Demon King a little ashamed, who said they the Kunpeng were the fastest in the Three Realms?

Not to mention Mr. Monkey, even this rice-guzzling girl in front of him could easily crush him!

Flying Dragon Soup?

Bixiao blinked, picked up the chopsticks she had been holding the whole time, and stirred in the bowl for a bit, what is this, it’s not dragon at all!

A hint of disappointment appeared in Bixiao’s eyes, but she still picked up a piece of meat to taste.

Delicious!

Bixiao couldn’t help but squint her eyes with happiness.

"Abyss Devouring!"

Without another word, Bixiao activated her divine skill.

Her small body became an unrelenting dining machine under the power of her divine skill, taking bite after bite.

Bixiao was acutely aware of her body, soul, mana, and all aspects being nourished and enhanced, all thanks to the energy from Shopkeeper Chen’s bowl of Flying Dragon Soup.

Impressive!

Immortals listed on the Investiture of the Gods were all those who had died once and had no true bodies; her current body was nothing more than a construct of the Divine Enthronement.

This kind of body had two main issues; one was the inability to advance in cultivation, and the other was the soul-body compatibility.

So even though the Investiture of the Gods could revive immortals, their strength was still considerably less than when they were alive.

But what she hadn’t expected was that the divine skill she awakened from eating beef noodles could actually improve soul-body compatibility.

Too strong.

Surprise filled Bixiao’s heart, but her mouth didn’t stop moving.

After awakening Abyss Devouring, Bixiao’s dining speed also increased significantly. In no time, the Flying Dragon Soup was finished.

Bixiao rubbed her belly, which didn’t feel much different, still yearning for more.

"Ding, because of eating Flying Dragon Soup, Yunxiao has awakened the divine power ’Desire Dyeing Mystique.’ Do you wish to awaken synchronously?"

"Ding, because of eating sauce-coated duck, Qiong Xiao has awakened the divine power ’Ice Devouring Cold Flame.’ Do you wish to awaken synchronously?"

"Awaken," said Chen Nuo in his mind.

After experiencing the inherited memories, a playful look appeared in Chen Nuo’s eyes, these divine skills were quite interesting.

Ice Devouring Cold Flame was a kind of flame that appeared extremely cold on the outside but was intensely hot at the core. It was not only powerful in its destructive capacity but could also devour other flames to upgrade itself.

It was indeed a potent combat supernatural power and had long-term value, just like Bixiao’s skill.

Yunxiao’s awakening of Desire Dyeing Mystique was an illusionary divine power that instantly hooked the deepest desires of a person’s heart for beautiful fantasies, making them unable to extricate themselves, and the divine power activated without a sound.

If a person was not of pure heart, devoid of desires, or there wasn’t a significant difference in cultivation, it was practically impossible to guard against this move—it was considered invincible!

People without desires were truly rare; even saints had their selfish motives.

However, the more people affected, the more mana it consumed!

Erxiao finished her inheritance and slowly opened her eyes, joy and shock filling everyone’s gaze.

In this world, there existed such a marvelous place, where a single dish had awakened such powerful divine skills within her.

Qiong Xiao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for bestowing the cultivation technique," Yunxiao stood up and bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, Qiong Xiao also wanted to bow, but it felt awkward to do so alone since she was a step too late.

Reluctantly stopping herself, her hostility and guard towards Chen Nuo had dissipated.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Whether you gain something or not in my place, it’s all about fate; there’s no need for thanks."

Yunxiao nodded and was about to go down to enjoy the rest of her unfinished Flying Dragon Soup when she realized it had already been completely finished off.

Stunned for a moment, Yunxiao then noticed Bixiao, who had appeared beside her at some point, with grease still on her lips, clearly giving her away.

"You, oh you," Yunxiao said with feigned annoyance but no real way to respond, taking out a handkerchief and meticulously wiping Bixiao’s lips.

After all, this was her most beloved little sister.

"Big sister, second sister, what divine powers have you two awakened?" Bixiao asked eagerly, then shared the divine skills she had come to understand.

Incredibly, the divine skills each person had awakened were all different!

After exchanging their experiences, the Three Xiaos were even more astonished and their reverence for Chen Nuo grew.

"It really tastes so good, the best thing I’ve ever eaten!" Bixiao leaned back in her chair, utterly content.

What a pity one could only dine once a day.

"Compared to this, the Flat Peach Banquet is simply unpalatable!" Bixiao complained with disdain, remembering the grandest banquet of the Heavenly Court.

Qiong Xiao nodded in agreement, looking down with contempt on the Flat Peach Banquet.

Indeed, the difference was like that between heaven and earth, and it was always the same dishes, showcased with minimal effort!

It was said that the Heavenly Court was preparing for another Flat Peach Banquet, likely the same old routine.

Yunxiao, having been suppressed at Qilin Cliff previously, had not attended one, but after hearing what Bixiao said, she lost any interest she might have had.

In this world, who else could possibly match the culinary skills of Shopkeeper Chen?

Even the taste alone was beyond reach, let alone such miraculous effects.

"If only Shopkeeper Chen could go to the Heavenly Court to cook," Bixiao muttered, having already become Chen Nuo’s little fangirl.

After expressing this sentiment, Bixiao’s eyes lit up with an idea, and she looked at Chen Nuo with a sly smile, "Shopkeeper Chen, could you ascend with us to heaven?"

"With your cooking skills, the position of head chef in the Imperial Kitchen would be yours alone. If you oversee the Flat Peach Banquet, that would truly be—"

"Phenomenal!"

Yunxiao and Qiong Xiao couldn’t help but echo this sentiment in their minds upon hearing Bixiao’s words.

Ascend to heaven?

Seeing the hopeful expression in the three sisters’ eyes, Chen Nuo felt amused. It reminded him of how Taibai Jin once deceived Sun Wukong into ascending, making him the Horse Master.

Now the Three Xiaos wanted him to ascend and become the Imperial Chef.

However, Chen Nuo was as steady as an old dog; unless his cultivation was sufficient, he wouldn’t dream of stepping half a step out of Chaos Residence!

"I won’t go!" Chen Nuo’s refusal was clear and straightforward.

"Our Shopkeeper Chen’s dishes are all masterpieces; do you think these are mere cabbages? There are so many immortals in the Heavenly Court, how could one possibly cope?" the Roc Demon King shook his head and blurted out flattery without hesitation.

Qiong Xiao gave the Roc Demon King a cold glance that made him feel as if in icy shackles, turning the mighty Kunpeng into a timid chick in an instant.

But thinking carefully about the Roc Demon King’s words, the Three Xiaos nodded. Indeed, how could someone make dishes that were not only delicious but also had such miraculous effects so easily?

They then put aside that thought.

What the Three Xiaos and the two demons didn’t know was that Chen Nuo’s cooking was indeed that casual.
