Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 72 The Embarrassing Divine Skills

The heat applied was just right, not a second more or less, for that would have affected the final taste.

The sour and sweet sauce, the crispy coating, and the perfectly cooked meat all mixed together in the mouth.

Nezha’s heart brimmed with satisfaction and joy, his eyes curving into slits, and that sweet and sour flavor was simply delightful!

"Shopkeeper Chen, I’m hungry!"

"So am I."

Watching Nezha so indulged in the plate of sweet and sour pork, the two demons’ cravings were also aroused.

"Get lost, you two have already eaten today, just now you freeloaded two chicken nuggets from Tian Peng, what more do you want?" Chen Nuo rolled his eyes, wondering what was going on in those two’s heads, still thinking they were Demon Kings.

But Chen Nuo could understand them; beautiful people and beautiful food together composed a more beautiful scene.

People with appearances like Yunxiao, Bixiao, Yang Chan, and Nezha, when eating, could also stimulate others’ appetites—speaking of which, why wasn’t Bixiao included?

Uh...

She didn’t qualify as a lightning-fast foodie!

While Nezha was eating, his mind began to wander.

He inexplicably recalled the image of his mother protecting him desperately when he was just born and remembered the look on her face as she stayed up late to make him clothes.

The little moments with his mother flashed through his mind, one after another.

The most vivid memory he had was the affectionate smile on his mother’s face when she saw him dressed in new clothes.

The words his mother said at the time remained as fresh in his memory as if it were yesterday.

"My Zha’er looks so handsome; you look good in anything you wear. It’s good that you didn’t turn out like your two brothers, following after your dad."

"Zha’er is even prettier than a girl; mother really wants to make you a little skirt to wear—it would be so beautiful!"

Although he had been very reluctant at the time, he had agreed after enduring his mother’s persistent cajoling and persuasion.

Yet, he never got to see that skirt his mother had mentioned.

Nezha’s eyes reddened slightly, and shiny tears swirled in his sockets.

Just as he was about to reach out to wipe them, he suddenly froze.

"Ding, Li Nezha, by consuming sweet and sour pork, has awakened the Divine Skill ’Female Attire Pavilion.’ Do you wish to synchronize the awakening?"

What? Chen Nuo’s brain buzzed, somewhat unable to react; had he just heard the system mention something strange?

He checked carefully and indeed, it was so; this was quite impressive.

After so many awakenings, Chen Nuo had also summarized some tricks.

The awakening of Divine Skills is linked to the Awakener themselves, so Nezha... and cross-dressing...

Heh, you say, it’s actually quite fitting.

With Nezha’s looks and physique, always wearing a lotus flower skirt, and even his weapon had a long ribbon, the Huntian Ling, if he didn’t crossdress, who would?

Chen Nuo smiled faintly; he was actually quite looking forward to seeing what Nezha would look like actually cross-dressed.

And him, Chen Nuo, born with a face like an Immortal’s, charming and dashing, with an otherworldly demeanor, truly unparalleled, was also a rare seedling for cross-dressing.

"But I refuse!" Chen Nuo declared righteously in his heart; what’s wrong with being a handsome guy?

Nezha opened his eyes, somewhat confused; he had awakened a Divine Skill? What was going on?

Why did eating a meal trigger an awakening of Divine Skills? Could it be that the opportunity Bull Demon King mentioned was this?

Perhaps that was also why Tian Peng had become stronger, right?

This shop owner, simply by making food that could awaken Divine Skills upon consumption, could stand proudly above all in the Three Realms!

Such a feat was something even his master likely couldn’t achieve.

Thinking about the Divine Skill he had awakened, Nezha felt a mix of surprise and delight, but mostly, he felt embarrassed and ashamed.

His normally pale face was now beet red. How humiliating!

Female Attire Pavilion: An inner world is created within one’s body to store female attire; by wearing different styles and types of female garments, one can possess various effects and abilities, even increase the speed of cultivation, and switch outfits in a second!

Is this really a Divine Skill? But why is it so strange, and why is Tian Peng’s so normal?

While he was complaining, Nezha suddenly realized something crucial—the speed of cultivation could be increased by wearing female attire!

Was this true or false? Although he was resistant to the idea, Nezha couldn’t help but be tempted.

If this were true, then couldn’t he hope to break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal?

"It seems you’ve gained quite a bit." Chen Nuo said indifferently from the side.

At these words, Nezha was startled and wished he could find a hole to crawl into. This Shopkeeper, his senior, knew about his awakening!

Could it be he knew what had been awakened as well?

Impossible, that absolutely couldn’t be!

Nezha shook his head repeatedly, took a deep breath, and reassured himself that this thought had suddenly appeared in his mind; if he didn’t speak of it, how could anyone possibly know?

If Chen Nuo knew what Nezha was thinking, he would certainly laugh out loud—no one’s awakening could escape his eyes.

"Nezha, what did you awaken?"

Chen Nuo knew, so he didn’t ask, but the Bull Demon King and the others were curious. Not able to contain his curiosity, the Bull Demon King blurted out the question.

Nezha immediately freaked out, scratching his head and stuttering, "It’s nothing special..."

Seeing Nezha’s evasive manner, the Bull Demon King grew annoyed, slammed the table, and said gruffly, "Why are you hiding it? Are you planning to keep it as a trump card to use against us?"

"Let me tell you, I, the strong Bull Demon King, am not easily frightened, and don’t think you’re the only one to have awakened a Divine Skill!"

Having said that, the Bull Demon King proudly introduced his own Divine Skill, Explosive Shocking Rivers and Mountains. Seeing the Bull Demon King showing off, the Roc Demon King, not wanting to be outdone, boasted about his Divine Skill, Feather Flash.

Nezha listened to the two demons talking about their Divine Skills with envy. He too wished to awaken a somewhat more impressive Divine Skill!

Now that the Bull Demon King had put it that way, it was difficult for Nezha to not respond, but what could he possibly say?

He had awakened a Divine Skill that made him stronger by wearing women’s clothes—how could he reveal that without becoming the laughingstock?

If they were to spread the word, then his name, Nezha, would indeed become known to all in the Three Realms.

No, he couldn’t disclose it. Finding himself without options, Nezha feigned a look of confidence and started to fabricate a story.

"The Divine Skill I’ve awakened is no less than yours. As long as I can obtain the blood of my opponent, my Divine Skill can transcend space, ignore any defense, and directly claim the opponent’s life!"

Is it that powerful?!

Fear flickered in the eyes of the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King, but more than that, there was wariness. It seemed that in the future, they had to be extra careful not to get injured when they had conflicts with Nezha!

Chen Nuo raised an eyebrow; this Nezha was quite skilled at lying—it sounded so believable, and it looked like the Bull Demon King actually bought it. Quite interesting.

Chen Nuo smiled slightly, but he didn’t reveal the little secret hidden in Nezha’s heart.

Though the number of plump sheep waiting to be slaughtered in his shop was growing, it wasn’t a reason to turn them away just because they were not lacking in fleece.

If he told, wouldn’t that just blow their fuses and deter them from coming back?

After sending the two demons on their way, Nezha bowed to Chen Nuo: "Thank you, senior!"

No matter what, he had truly gained an opportunity.

Chen Nuo nodded, not bothering to explain; he was tired.

Nezha felt if he lingered any longer, who knows if the Bull Demon King and his peers might casually try out his claim by finding an animal on Mount Fangcun to test it on.

Absolutely couldn’t let the cat out of the bag—it was best to leave!

With that thought, Nezha turned to leave, but was stopped by Chen Nuo calling out to him.
