Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!

Although he was talking, his eyes were fixed on the braised pork without wandering.

Chen Nuo stood up, took a menu from the counter, and handed it to Tian Peng.

For some reason, after Sun Wukong left, this ten-draw lottery directly won several dishes.

With the previous ones, that made ten dishes, which then became a menu.

Tian Peng frowned upon receiving it and said, "Shopkeeper, are you running a restaurant? Why so few dishes?"

"This establishment is small business, the dishes need not be many, only fine!" Chen Nuo said indifferently, always feeling this person was a pain in the neck!

Tian Peng snorted coldly, shaking his head, "With so few dishes, yet daring to open a restaurant with such a name, what audacity you have!"

"Whether I have the audacity, you'll know after you finish eating," Chen Nuo replied, brimming with confidence in his own culinary skills. In the Three Realms, anything he knew how to make was peak level!

"Fine then, I'll have this braised pork, but let's get this straight, if it's not worth it, the money has to be double returned!" Tian Peng said with a crafty twist of his eyes.

"Double is not possible, but, the most I can do is give it back to you," Chen Nuo said with a shrug.

"Deal!" Tian Peng readily agreed, planning to claim the food wasn't good after eating, no matter what, and the shopkeeper wouldn't be able to do anything about it!

Reaching into his embrace, how could this repeat offender from the Lower Realm not have mortal money?

"I don't accept that," Chen Nuo pointed at the crystal ball on the counter, "Just place your hand on that crystal ball, and you will know how much to pay."

Tian Peng was bewildered, but complied all the same.

Approaching and looking at the crystal ball, a glint of greed flashed in Tian Peng's eyes; such a large crystal ball could sell for quite a bit!

Placing his hand on it, feeling the information transmitted from the crystal ball, his expression changed instantly.

"You must be running a con shop! Eating your meal, and you're asking me for a Golden Immortal level magical treasure!"

Tian Peng was furious, jumping up and down, although he had the power of an early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal and owned some Golden Immortal level treasures, he wasn't the type to squander them like this!

A twitch appeared at the corner of Chen Nuo's mouth, unable to believe this guy had a face even blacker than the Third Holy Mother, who only claimed one-tenth of the mana.

However, since the crystal ball dared to ask for a Golden Immortal level treasure, it meant this person was no simple character, and having set the price, there was no intention to change it.

"Just who are you, you demon, to dare deceive me!" Tian Peng roared angrily, his aura flaring up in an instant.

With the crystal ball's mystical methods, this shopkeeper was definitely not ordinary.

"If you want to eat, eat, if not, get lost!" Chen Nuo was indifferent to Tian Peng's Taiyi Golden Immortal level intimidation; even though he was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, within the Chaos Residence, even Hongjun would have to behave properly!

It was surprising that not a single person had come for ten years, and now that one finally did, they were there to cause trouble.

Bang!

Tian Peng glared furiously, slamming his palm on the table.

"How dare you speak to this marshal like that!"

Who was he, Tian Peng, but one of the four great saints of the Heavenly Court's North Pole, with a lofty status, and now some trivial shopkeeper dared to be so disrespectful to him!

He, Tian Peng, couldn't stand such insult; it was better for him to become a pig than to endure this!

Tian Peng was overbearing, but Chen Nuo was even more so; with a stern look, he directly took out a kitchen knife from the System Space and slammed it into the tabletop!

A tangible aura burst forth instantly, and even Tian Peng, with his Taiyi Golden Immortal power, felt like a lone boat wavering in the vast ocean.

A faint killing intent spread, "What, you want to dine and dash?"

"No, no!" Tian Peng broke into a sweat instantly, quickly shaking his head, legs trembling uncontrollably. Who on earth was this man!

Just this aura alone was enough to completely crush him!

Observing Chen Nuo's impeccable features and his icy demeanor, Tian Peng was even more convinced that the person before him must be an incredibly powerful being!

He had never felt such an aura even in the presence of his master.

When Tian Peng saw the kitchen knife inserted on the table, his pupils constricted, 'Innate Spiritual Treasure, there's no mistaking this aura!'

As a third-generation disciple of the Human Sect, he had some discernment. Those who could use such an object were essentially ancient powerhouses!

Cowardice was sometimes appropriate, but what Tian Peng didn't know was that each time Chen Nuo cooked, the attributes of his kitchenware increased. Ten years ago, this was but the most basic Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

"Eat and pay or don't eat and get lost," Chen Nuo repeated coldly.

Tian Peng subconsciously lifted his foot, inclined to get lost, but then he saw the tempting braised pork again. If he just left like that, maybe this senior would get angry and chop him up with the kitchen knife.

Although he didn't understand why such a person would need a Golden Immortal's Magical Treasure, he decided to consider it as spending money to avoid disaster.

"I'll eat, I'll eat!" With that thought, Tian Peng reluctantly approached the Crystal Ball, picked out a Magic Artifact of the lowest quality, and with a pained expression, placed it onto the Crystal Ball.

A flash of white light passed, and the Crystal Ball automatically devoured Tian Peng's Magic Artifact.

"Ding, a Golden Immortal level Magic Artifact acquired, Acquired Medium-Grade Imperial Water Pearl, payment completed. Would you like to convert it into Merit Points?"

"No conversion," Chen Nuo thought to himself, finding the name somewhat interesting.

He then looked at Tian Peng, who had obediently completed the payment, and his face broke into a smile, a complete contrast to his earlier demeanor.

"Honored guest, what would you like to try?"

Subconsciously shrinking his neck, Tian Peng, with the previous experience in mind, didn't believe that Chen Nuo was a kind person.

"I... will just have this braised pork," Tian Peng's voice became quieter as he spoke until it was almost inaudible at the end.

Chen Nuo nodded and presented a new pair of chopsticks: "Please enjoy."

Tian Peng sat down anxiously, but the enticing aroma quickly calmed his heart.

Picking up the chopsticks, he took a piece interlaced with fat and lean meat and put it into his mouth.

Closing his eyes, he savored the flavor; the sauce was slightly sweet, and the fatty meat was soft and sticky, clinging to his teeth and his tongue.

The hidden freshness of the fat disappeared before he could chew, like clouds tumbling across the sky.

The rich sauce, with the perfect balance of fat and lean, gave Tian Peng a dream-like sense of bliss, making him wish to indulge in this braised pork for a lifetime.

He ate one piece after another. This was truly the life of Immortals!

There was a bright gleam in Tian Peng's eyes; Chaos Residence was worthy of its reputation!

How could such an ancient powerhouse not know of Chaos?

Though Tian Peng had a craving for tasty food, he wasn't excessively demanding in his daily diet, but he could vow that this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life!

This braised pork, not just one Golden Immortal Magic Artifact, but thousands wouldn't be worth the exchange!

Those chefs in the Heavenly Court should be dragged out and fed to the dogs; after returning, he would dismiss the chefs in his own household!

Tian Peng seriously contemplated this comparison. The food he had in the Heavenly Court before was now as different as eating excrement.

Neither his mouth nor his hands were idle; the ultimate taste of the braised pork did not diminish in quality, whether savored slowly or devoured greedily.

Just two words described the feeling, simply delicious!
