Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 69 Is This Thing the God-Slaying Spear?
Chen Nuo didn’t care what the demons were thinking; he brought out the item out of kindness, seeing that they were bored.
In the past, when accompanying Sun Wukong, they’d also play for fun during dull moments. However, since no one ever visited his small shop in those days, they could only play Three-Card Brag.
Now, they could finally play Landlord.
Turning his head to look at the still-confused Tian Peng by the door, Chen Nuo said, "Aren’t you coming in?"
Tian Peng pointed in surprise and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, isn’t that the Bull Demon King?"
Why would the mighty and renowned Bull Demon King be here, and dressed as if he were doing odd jobs?
Chen Nuo said indifferently, "Yes, he’s now an errand runner under my employ, do you have a problem with that?"
"Not at all!" Tian Peng quickly shook his head, smiling broadly.
Shopkeeper Chen is awesome!
"It’s getting late, why are you here at this hour?"
Tian Peng usually visited in the morning, claiming the best start to any day was to indulge in the grub at Chaos Residence.
Remembering this, Tian Peng slapped his forehead, almost forgetting the important news, and hastily said, "Shopkeeper Chen, Mr. Monkey, he’s become an immortal official in the Heavenly Court."
"Holy shit! Mr. Monkey has gone to the Heavenly Court!" Before Chen Nuo could react, the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King couldn’t sit still.
The demons were at loggerheads with the Heavenly Court; wouldn’t Mr. Monkey ascending cause some trouble?
So he really went up, huh?
Chen Nuo wasn’t too surprised in his mind.
"What position did he take?" Chen Nuo inquired.
The monkey had been called to the Heavenly Court twice, from which the current timeline could be deduced.
"Um..." Tian Peng said with an embarrassed expression, "I don’t know."
Not to embarrass himself in public, he had gone straight back to his residence after ascending.
Chen Nuo nodded, not saying anything further, but instead asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Tian Peng chuckled and said, "It’s been a little while since I’ve been here. Shopkeeper Chen, have you introduced any new dishes?"
Chen Nuo rolled his eyes; new dishes? Did he suppose they were as common as cabbages?
If he wasn’t considering the Awakening effect, he could whip up a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast in minutes!
"There is a new drink, but it’s not ready yet." Chen Nuo spread his hands, helpless. The Peach Blossom Brew was just too popular.
First, Sun Wukong had taken a fair bit, then Tongtian had bought it all up, and finally, Three Xiaos had cleaned out what was left before they left.
"I see." Not able to taste the new arrival, Tian Peng’s face showed a bit of disappointment, but he quickly got over it.
Even without new items, the dishes Shopkeeper Chen made were the finest in the Three Realms, and he never tired of them!
"Shopkeeper Chen, then give me an order of Crispy Fried Chicken...I guess," Tian Peng said after a moment’s thought.
It was what he had been eating frequently of late, and according to the odds, it was also the most likely to trigger an Awakening of Divine Skills.
Tian Peng stood up and moved in front of the Crystal Ball to recharge it with the Magical Treasures he had recently scavenged.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring Acquired..."
...
After depositing the scavenged Magical Treasures, Tian Peng also erased the junk he had obtained when digging in the opposite direction to the Xiaotian Dog.
Not sure how much it was worth, Tian Peng thought and placed it on top.
Following that, another prompt appeared in Chen Nuo’s mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the tail of the Innate Treasure God-Slaying Spear, equivalent to one hundred consumptions, would you like to convert it to Merit Points?"
The God-Slaying Spear, an Innate Treasure!?
Chen Nuo’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was the foremost offensive weapon of the Innate category, even surpassing the Pangu Banner in terms of lethality!
But, wasn’t this item supposed to have shattered into pieces and scattered across the Primordial World during the battle between Demon Ancestor Luo Hu and Taoist Ancestor Hongjun?
How did it end up in Tian Peng’s hands?
But then again, Tian Peng and Xiaotian Dog have been making quite the scene lately with their Three Realms treasure hunting team.
Chen Nuo’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling somewhat speechless. Could it be that Xiaotian Dog actually sniffed it out?
This mere fragment was already comparable to the Purple Lightning Hammer Tongtian gave him.
No wonder it’s an Innate Treasure.
Glancing at the stunned Tian Peng, Chen Nuo nodded to himself. It’s no surprise he just gave it away—turns out he didn’t recognize its true value!
Even Saints would be tempted upon seeing such an item.
Good things should, of course, be kept!
Upon receiving the feedback, Tian Peng was completely dumbfounded. My goodness, a hundred consumption opportunities—this can’t be a dream, right?
Tian Peng’s mouth gaped open. Ever since he became a VIP at Chaos Residence, his balance had never exceeded thirty opportunities, let alone a whopping hundred!
That strange magical treasure was indeed no simple thing, and Tian Peng was someone with discernment.
An ordinary Golden Immortal Magical Treasure could offset one consumption opportunity, but one worth a hundred opportunities was beyond his wildest dreams regarding its grade.
Recovering from his shock, Tian Peng was overjoyed. This time he really stumbled upon a huge deal!
Xiaotian Dog truly didn’t recognize the treasure’s worth, thinking that anything unusable was trash, but Tian Peng was sharp-eyed!
If that smelly dog found out, it would surely be infuriated.
Tian Peng was thrilled to the core, almost wishing he could fly to the Guan River Mouth instantly and tease the smelly dog by running circles around it—as long as Yang Jian didn’t hit him, he could keep it up all day!
"Just a moment, the Crispy Fried Chicken will be ready soon!"
While Tian Peng was happy, Chen Nuo was even more delighted. If only every transaction could be this efficient.
Chen Nuo headed to the kitchen, leaving Tian Peng alone in the room with the two demons, creating an awkward atmosphere for a moment.
After all, their stances were different—one was an Immortal Official from the Heavenly Court tasked with eliminating demons, and the other was a Demon King commanding respect.
They looked at each other without a word, but when it came to thick-skinned, there were few who could beat Tian Peng.
"Hey, bro, what was that thing you guys were playing just now? It looked pretty interesting." Tian Peng asked with a mischievous grin, pointing to the deck of poker cards yet to be put away.
Meanwhile, Nezha squatting idly in the distance, chose not to immediately enter. Otherwise, if he ran into a fully engaged Tian Peng, wouldn’t that be awkward?
It would affect his image as the honorable Prince Nezha!
His eyes carefully surveyed the entrance of Chaos Residence and he muttered to himself, "Isn’t this a bit too arrogant?"
Claiming to be Chaos?
Nezha considered himself a daring and adventurous person, but even he wouldn’t dare utter such words. He wondered what was so special about this establishment.
When Chen Nuo finally finished the Crispy Fried Chicken and came out, he was greeted by a harmonious scene.
"Pair of threes!"
"Beat that, pair of fours!"
This must be the charm of games.
Chen Nuo didn’t disturb the three who were engrossed in the game, instead, he put the Crispy Fried Chicken on a nearby table, walked up, and started watching the harmless squabble with interest.
Tian Peng, though it was his first time playing, had incredible luck.
In a single hand, he had three bombs; even blindly playing, he could beat the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King.
"This is quite fun," said Tian Peng, tasting the joy of victory and filled with interest.
It was his first time encountering something so intriguing—a simple set of cards, yet capable of so many combinations. It really was interesting.
Looking up and seeing Chen Nuo watching, Tian Peng quickly stood up and said with a chuckle, "Heh, Shopkeeper Chen, I was just curious, came to take a look. You guys keep playing, keep playing!"
Having said that, Tian Peng went over to the table with the Crispy Fried Chicken.
Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, he suddenly remembered what Sun Wukong had told him.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what time is it right now?" Tian Peng hurriedly asked.
"There’s a timekeeping clock over there, see for yourself," Chen Nuo said, gesturing casually.
