Chapter 103

It's really not working out—just keep serving the old dishes for the rest of them. The Kitchen God sighed deeply; they had truly reached the point of being at their wit's end.

After all, dish development isn't something you can just scribble down casually—it's far from that simple.

Moreover, we're talking about needing to reach the standard of the Peach Banquet.

The Stove God shook his head with a wry smile: "But the Queen Mother already said it would be three hundred and sixty-five dishes, so that's what it has to be."

The two gods exchanged opinions, one sentence each, while only Sun Wukong's eyes flickered, lost in thought about something unknown.

On this side, Chen Nuo didn't discuss the new dishes with the Three Immortals and the Ox Demon King, because due to ingredient shortages, preparations weren't complete, so he avoided the hassle.

Just get the dishes ready.

"Xiao Kui, serve the dishes!" Chen Nuo shouted.

Don't think that ordering food means you don't have to work!

"Coming!" the Ox Demon King came over, hopping eagerly to help.

After placing the dishes on the table, Bixiao on this side was already impatient.

As soon as the dish was set down, the Sauce Board Duck was already in Bixiao's hand.

"I'll eat first!" Bixiao gave a symbolic greeting, picked up a piece, and popped it into her mouth.

"So spicy!"

Bixiao's face instantly scrunched up, she stuck out her tongue, and hissed as she sucked in cool air.

Still, although it was very spicy, the flavor of the Sauce Board Duck instantly captivated Bixiao's taste buds.

"Water, give me water!" Though the Heavenly Emperor was clearly overwhelmed by the spice, his eating speed didn't slow in the slightest.

Seeing his flustered state, Chen Nuo laughed helplessly—truly, you are the Lightning Fast Eater!

"What water?" Chen Nuo waved his hand, and the menu flew over directly.

Bixiao glanced at it and said: "Then let's have this Peach Juice."

Chen Nuo nodded, then pointed at the Ox Demon King and said: "Go get a cup."

The Ox Demon King stared in surprise: "Why is it still me?"

I'm also a consumer, okay!

But he didn't say much more—by the time he finished speaking, he had already left his seat.

"Ox Brother, also get me a cup of Peach Soda." The Peng Demon King also spoke up, chuckling hehe.

He gave the Ox Demon King a fierce glare, and the Ox Demon King, full of resentment, went off.

"Ah, refreshing!" the Peng Demon King took a big gulp and belched.

Squinting his eyes, wearing a look of contentment.

As for that Peach Juice, after Chen Nuo developed the soda version, hardly anyone ordered it anymore—no way, this is just too delicious.

Drink it down, and both body and mind feel delighted.

On this side, Bixiao also raised her neck to drink the Peach Juice—the sweet freshness instantly dispelled most of the spiciness.

However, Bixiao didn't completely lose herself in it; instead, she stared in surprise at the cup before her—this flavor, is it really peach?

Earlier, the elder sister said the entire backyard was full of Peach Trees, but now the peaches have all turned into Peach Juice—even the Queen Mother couldn't possibly be this extravagant, right?

No wonder Chen the Manager!

The Second Immortal and the Two Demons began using their chopsticks, and for a moment, the entire Dining Hall was filled only with the sounds of eating.

Watching everyone eat with such enjoyment, Chen Nuo's brows and eyes held a faint smile.

Being able to make these mythological figures obsessed with food also filled him with a quiet pride.

Time passed, and everyone had eaten their fill.

Suddenly, the Ox Demon King and the Peng Demon King simultaneously entered a state of enlightenment.

Buyer!

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows—these two finally about to awaken their second divine ability?

"Manager Chen? Are they awakening their divine abilities?" Bixiao noticed the condition of the Two Demons.

"Hmm." Chen Nuo nodded.

Bixiao heard this, looked at the Ox Demon King—there was still plenty of Braised Pork left, looking as appetizing as ever—her eyes sparkled, she smiled slightly, and then took it away.

"Since they've awakened,

continuing to eat now would be meaningless, a waste—still, or I'll help out." The Heavenly Emperor explained solemnly.

After saying that, he took a bite of Sauce Board Duck, then a bite of Braised Pork—the flavor truly made one linger in aftertaste.

"..." Chen Nuo was somewhat speechless—really, it's all because of you.

"Ding, the Ox Demon King consumed Braised Pork, awakened the divine ability Ni Shen Tian—should synchronization occur?"

"Ding, the Peng Demon King consumed Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken, awakened the divine ability Vibration Tian Yun Yi—should synchronization occur?"

Ni Shen Tian: Manifests a phantom of the body, momentum capable of covering the sky; wherever the phantom envelops, all feel a sense of suppression.

Vibration Tian Yun Yi: Condenses wings outside the body, extremely high speed increase, can stack with original speed, and the wings can also serve as a shield for protection.

Not bad at all.

Chen Nuo nodded—though not overly extraordinary, they are all quite practical divine abilities.

Ni Shen Tian, this kind of momentum-overwhelming ability, fits the Ox Demon King's nature perfectly—though he appears timid here, he's actually quite imposing outside.

As for the Peng Demon King's avian transformation, his original wings would become hands; to unleash extreme speed, he must transform into his true Kun-Peng form.

But the true form is so large that using it in combat would be a significant disadvantage.

That's why humanoid form is the mandate of heaven—because it's the most convenient and most versatile body.

Now that he has this divine ability, the Peng Demon King's normal combat capability will greatly increase, like adding wings to a tiger.

"Awakening." Chen Nuo thought silently.

This thing, after he picked it up, using it as the Prison-Heaven Finger and magical wings is also quite fun—truly terrifying.

After a while, the two demons excitedly opened their eyes.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes seeming to say they had finally awakened a second divine ability.

Thinking of how much essence blood had been lost during this period, the Ox Demon King's heart was dripping blood.

He had been constantly teetering on the edge of anemia, jumping back and forth arrogantly; when he returns, he must give his wife a proper show.

The Peng Demon King was also cheering and leaping; having awakened the Tremendous Heaven Cloud Wings, he naturally understood the value here.

He couldn't help but feel pleased from the start.

Now, he actually wants to see how his father will scold him for being slow!

Thinking of returning to make a grand display, the Ox Demon King's mood was simply wonderful; lowering his head, he was about to finish off his remaining braised pork, but then discovered there was nothing left before him.

His face showed astonishment, he turned his head, and the Ox Demon King noticed the empty plate on the Heavenly Emperor's table, seemingly familiar, and the oil sheen still not wiped from Bixiao's mouth corner.

The Ox Demon King's breath stagnated; his heart was dripping blood!

"You!" the Ox Demon King, anxious, was about to speak up and question.

"Huh?" Bixiao raised her willow eyebrows, coldly eyeing the Ox Demon King, showing a bit of ferocity.

"Grandma, is your appetite still good?" the Ox Demon King came to flatter, yet in his heart he wanted to cry but had no tears—who could know his joys and sorrows?

Bixiao let out a light hum, withdrew her gaze, seeing his proper attitude, she let him off this time.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I want to tell you something..." the Ox Demon King turned his head again toward Chen Nuo, appearing quite respectful.

"Go ahead." Chen Nuo said casually.

"I... want to ask for leave, go home to see my wife." the Ox Demon King chuckled, scratched his head, feeling rather embarrassed.

Chen Nuo's originally calm face suddenly turned grim.

Damn egg!

In my past life I was often shown off, but coming to this world it's worse—directly got dog food smeared on my face.

Seeing Chen Nuo's displeased expression, the Ox Demon King was startled, trembled, and tried saying: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you don't agree, I won't go back?"

"Go, go!" Chen Nuo casually waved his hand.
