Chapter 140

"How does your cooking compare to your master's?" Yaochi asked eagerly, voicing her most pressing concern.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong wore a look of embarrassment and said: "To be perfectly honest, the gap between my cooking and my master's is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth."

"Is that really true?"

Yaochi was stunned, her heart fluttering involuntarily.

With Sun Wukong's cooking being this good, what would his master's dishes taste like—like a zombie?

Thinking this, even her previously overfull appetite seemed to revive.

And whenever Sun Wukong mentioned Chen Nuo, he became even more enthusiastic.

With a proud expression, he said: "Today's hot pot is merely my master's initial attempt at showing off his skills—it's not even a dish he personally cooked. When he actually prepares a dish himself, that's when it's truly exceptional!"

To convince Yaochi, Sun Wukong introduced every dish Chen Nuo had ever made.

Drawing from years of experience eating Chen Nuo's various dishes, his description was vivid and flavorful, making listeners feel as if they were right there.

In that moment, Haotian and Yaochi were completely captivated.

Good heavens, is there truly such delicious food in the Three Realms?

Even though Haotian Yaochi possesses the cultivation of a quasi-Saint and has accumulated years of dignified bearing, at this moment they were so greedy they forgot themselves.

Swallowing their saliva, faces full of longing, while the Food God, Kitchen God, and Zhou Kang felt utterly incredulous.

Naturally, with their superior culinary skills, they understood how difficult it would be to achieve the texture Sun Wukong described.

Satisfying even one of these standards would be a significant challenge for them, let alone achieving all of them—could such dishes truly be realized?

The two gods and one person felt their worldviews overturned; yet, no matter how absurd it seemed in their eyes, they could not help but believe it might very well be true.

After all, even Great Immortal Sun Wukong's culinary skill has reached such heights—being his master, his culinary realm is simply unimaginable!

After a while, Sun Wukong finished speaking, his mouth somewhat dry.

Yet seeing the shock in everyone's eyes, he felt immense pride—this is the charm of his master's dishes!

Sun Wukong did not mention awakening divine abilities, as such things depend on fate and must be personally experienced.

"Wait a minute, Sun Wukong—you've acquired such superb culinary skills, so how did you attain your Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation?"

Haotian noticed the inconsistency, Sun Wukong constantly talking about cooking—could he have two masters?

Another one specifically teaching him cultivation?

Haotian nodded, feeling he had hit the mark—achieving such cultivation and combat power in such a short time is absolutely beyond what ordinary great beings can accomplish.

How could a restaurant owner possibly achieve this?

He seems utterly ordinary.

"No." Sun Wukong shook his head, somewhat puzzled as to why Haotian would ask this.

"I, Old Grandson, have only ever had one master in my life, and my cultivation naturally comes from him." Sun Wukong said firmly.

This thought had been in his heart since the moment he became Chen Nuo's disciple.

Upon hearing this, Haotian was stunned—ten years, not only teaching Sun Wukong such culinary skills but also cultivating him to such a high level—is this something humans can do?!

Is that even possible?

If it were anyone else, it would be pure foolish fantasy—let alone being an immortal chef who also cultivates, just the speed of cultivation advancement alone is beyond what ordinary great beings can achieve.

Even if cultivation were forcibly raised, combat power would certainly be nothing but a sham.

But when this situation involves Chen Nuo and Sun Wukong, conventional logic no longer applies.

As Sun Wukong is the Heaven-Mending Stone, he inherently possesses Heaven-Mending merit, and before his birth he had already accumulated substantial solar and lunar essences.

Upon entering the world, even if his cultivation did not surge dramatically,

the potential he has accumulated is immensely powerful, advancing at lightning speed!

Even following his original development plan, Sun Wukong would have reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

And Chen Nuo as a master is even beyond conventional judgment.

Although he has never given Sun Wukong any guidance over these many years, speaking frankly, Chen Nuo possesses the Great Brand Heavenly Immortal Scripture; in terms of physique, he also has the Peach Body Forging Technique; in terms of divine abilities, his dishes are certainly not mere decorations!

Furthermore, Sun Wukong is naturally intelligent and quick-witted, with exceptional talent in this area, so there is absolutely no problem!

Compared to the original, the current Sun Wukong doesn't know how much stronger he has become!

The facts are laid before Haotian—he cannot help but believe: profound cultivation combined with superb culinary skills is absolutely formidable!

Eh…

Haotian is somewhat speechless.

Combining these two aspects, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel like the reclusive master he had imagined before.

The path of cooking, serving others, could never be something great beings would specially devote themselves to studying, right?

Haotian's face bears a faint expression of doubt—he knows there are many reclusive great beings in the Three Realms, but those people hardly seem like they could run a restaurant deep in the mountains and old forests.

Moreover, taking the monkey as a disciple on Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and letting the Buddhist Sect come up empty—this is clearly provoking the Buddhist Sect!

I don't know what kind of divine being the master of Chaos Residence is, daring to act so boldly, to defy heaven itself.

Compared to Haotian's confusion and doubt, Yaochi's reaction is more heartfelt.

"Such worldly delicacies—I truly wish to taste them with my own mouth." Yaochi remained immersed in Sun Wukong's splendid description of the dishes, her eyes devoid of the queen mother's reserve, filled entirely with longing and anticipation.

"Of course you can." Sun Wukong said casually.

Yaochi suddenly widened her eyes, her face glowing with deep joy, suppressing her excitement as she said: "You're really telling the truth?"

"Why would I deceive you? My master runs a restaurant—anyone who comes is a guest, and as long as you pay, you can eat."

While explaining, Sun Wukong did not forget the most important matter.

This over decade-long master-disciple experience has made Sun Wukong perfectly clear about one thing: never owe your master money.

Meal money is life!

Meal money?

Haotian and Yaochi laughed involuntarily; as the Heavenly Court Sovereign, would they still lack money?

Humor!

It seems I will have to go to Chaos Residence once in the future.

Haotian Yaochi thought in their heart.

As the Emperor, he must know himself and know the Enemy; this so-called Chaos Residence shopkeeper's plan to break the Buddhist Sect, one thinks, is also on the Daoist side now.

The Enemy's Enemy is a friend!

He, a tree tall catches the wind, cannot do more things, but he does not mind giving this Shopkeeper Chen a dark open convenience door.

Being able to disgust the Buddhist Sect is good!

Obstruct the Buddhist Sect a bit more; until the Great Calamity passes, the Buddhist Sect's benefits will be few.

A flash of essence light passed through Haotian's eyes, however Yaochi did not think this way.

If until then it is the same as what Sun Wukong said, what should she eat first?

Is it Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken or Braised Pork?

Celestial official's sigh…

The Flying Dragon Soup Sun Wukong spoke of also seems quite Delicious in Immortal Cultivation Stage Look.

Yaochi frowned tightly, but then let go; at worst buy all Come Over!

She, the Queen Mother, has plenty of money!

However no matter what both people's hearts think, anyway the things wanting to do will not change.

That is to go to Chaos Residence to Kàn yīkan.

No more Spiritual excess asking Sun Wukong; these things will be revealed by themselves.

Haotian glanced at Sun Wukong, the Food God and Stove God and Zhou Kang praised: "This Time's Peach Banquet, Emperor am very Satisfied; to have such Banquet, as those responsible for Dish, a great merit."
