Chapter 147

"That Buddhist Maitreya Buddha actually broke precepts and ate meat for this banquet."

"Cannot describe that contrast!"

"Maitreya Buddha eating meat?"

"Zhi Nv's mouth gaped slightly, somewhat shocked. Doesn't the Buddhist Sect have a rule against eating meat?"

"This is a rule known throughout the Three Realms, but the explosive news isn't just this one thing."

"Maitreya Buddha even traded three nine-thousand-year peaches for nine tables of dishes. You savor that carefully."

"Zhi Nv's face was full of disbelief. Had she misheard?"

"Taking three nine-thousand-year peaches to exchange for nine tables of banquet dishes — is this something a normal person could do?"

"Although it's inconceivable, Zhi Nv believed it. Nezha had no need to fool her over something like this."

"This is indeed baffling, but if you reverse it..."

"Worth Maitreya Buddha breaking precepts and trading peaches for dishes — just what kind of taste does this food have?"

"Thinking like this, Zhi Nv also felt some longing, but she also had things she didn't understand."

"Hasn't the Peach Banquet always been like that?" Zhi Nv asked.

"This time it's naturally different!" Nezha looked smug. The information he grasped was more than hers!

"This time the head chef of the Peach Banquet has been changed."

"Zhi Nv nodded, so that's how it is,"

"Then her eyes dimmed a few degrees: 'Such delicious food, I have no fortune to enjoy it.'"

"Her cultivation was weak, her official position lowly — she shouldn't even think about the Peach Banquet."

"Looking at the somewhat dejected Zhi Nv, Nezha instantly felt a sense of superiority. He patted his chest and said: 'Don't worry, this young master will take you to Chaos Residence to eat when the time comes!'"

"Zhi Nv's expression froze for a moment."

"'Chaos Residence? What's that?'"

"Nezha looked mysterious, lowered his voice and said: 'I'm telling you, you mustn't tell anyone else.'"

"Seeing Nezha like this, Zhi Nv smiled lightly and nodded, 'Okay.'"

"Seeing Zhi Nv agree, Nezha coughed once and spoke: 'That's a restaurant opened by a Peerless Master. The taste of the dishes inside is unmatched in the Three Realms.'"

"Although he'd only eaten at Chaos Residence once, it was enough to see its supreme cooking skill."

"Plus Yang Dage and Tianpeng's praise of Chaos Residence's dishes — it's not hard to see the other dishes are also supreme quality!"

"But these aren't the most important. Being able to awaken divine abilities is the key existence!"

"This time the Peach Banquet's head chef is Chaos Residence Shopkeeper Chen's cooking skill. The cooking skill is extremely superb." Nezha spoke again.

"At the same time he discussed in his heart: can still beat several of him at once — simply a freak!"

"Zhi Nv nodded. No wonder it would be like this."

"Smiling slightly: 'Alright, then I'll thank Third Prince first. But my daily affairs are numerous, wanting to find free time is not easy.'"

"'Good.' Nezha nodded,"

"He didn't plan to go recently. What if Ox Demon King and them are still there, and run into Tianpeng and them? One word from you, one from me — wouldn't that count as exposure?"

"Better to lie low for a while."

"…"

"The Peach Banquet had already passed several days, but in the Three Realms this was still a lingering topic. The heat hadn't gone down at all."

"Every immortal who attended the banquet couldn't forget that last dish that was both delicious and fun. They even shared it with friends."

"Causing most immortals in the Three Realms to know of this magical dish called hot pot."

"Some immortals even took action, but never managed to make that taste."

"Without base ingredients and dipping sauce, what they made was simply boiled meat slices. Edible, yes, but worlds apart."

"The authentic hot pot at the Heavenly Court Peach Banquet became something immortals longed for day and night."

"Chaos Residence."

"'Master, why do we have to open the shop in the deep mountains and old forests?' Ao Ling asked while wiping the counter,"

"One side asking doubtfully."

"The opening of True Spirit Nine Changes consumes one's own mana. Ao Ling had also already returned to her previous appearance."

"Chen Nuo, sitting properly on a chair drinking peach juice, rolled his eyes. The restaurant's location?"

"This question was asked to the system long ago. The system chose it. What could he do?"

"If his restaurant opened in a marketplace, it would've become a down payment long ago,"

"'This is called Heavenly Secrets Cannot Be Revealed.' Chen Nuo said blandly."

"No matter what, this style absolutely cannot drop!"

"'But, expanding the shop this much in the deep mountains and old forests is useless, Master. No one comes.' Ao Ling had been here several days, figured out some of Chen Nuo's temperament, and asked the key point."

"Soul Strike!"

"Chen Nuo's mouth corner twitched. 'That's because they haven't had time to come yet.'"

"He has quite a few regular customers — Tianpeng, the Three Young Ladies..."

"Aren't these all of them?"

"Although few people come, every single one who finds the place will inevitably become a repeat customer. Top-tier cooking skill is this confident!"

"Words are spoken like this, but Chen Nuo's heart still has some doubts. This time he gave Sun Wukong such a killer move. The name of hot pot will definitely spread."

"His Chaos Residence should also be famous in the Three Realms. But why have two days passed without even a shadow of a person to be seen?"

"Could it be the Heavenly Court's banquet lasts a whole year?"

"Ao Ling nodded, didn't say anything more. For Master's words, she absolutely believes."

She had only been here a few days and had already eaten the dishes made by her Master, although she had only awakened her divine communication on the first day.

But this flavor, it's impossible for anyone to finish eating it and remain unmoved.

As she wiped, Ao Ling began wiping the crystal ball again, a look of joy appearing in her eyes.

Master's crystal ball must be the finest among gemstones, so large, and moreover transparent, and moreover sparkling brightly, I really like it so much!

If this crystal ball were not for Master's use, even if she had to sell all her possessions, she would buy it to keep as a collection.

Holding it up carefully, she wiped it meticulously, afraid that even a speck of dust would fall.

Chen Nuo's peach juice had all been drunk, but the rustling sound behind him had not yet stopped.

Chen Nuo wore a look of helplessness.

"Don't dawdle there, you haven't wiped the front yet."

This disciple of his is truly outstanding, completely and fully expressing the Dragon Clan's fondness for shiny, good things in an exquisite and delicate manner.

If she had nothing to do, she could spend the whole day wiping that crystal ball on the tray.

Truly admirable.

After all, this is his crystal ball; if it were replaced with something else, even the patina could come out.

If this foolish disciple of his knew that the raw material of this thing was sand, he wouldn't know how to feel about it.

"I know." Ao Ling puffed out her cheeks, wearing a reluctant, dawdling expression.

The Heavenly Court.

"Everything has already been arranged, we depart." Holy Mother Jin Ling gathered her strength, ready to set out, her voice making it hard not to hear her eagerness.

As the openly acknowledged leader of the Battle Department of the Heavenly Court, she indeed cannot go out at will.

But, she usually does not manage affairs; to leave the Heavenly Court, she only needs to give prior notice, what could compare to the fragrance of dry rice?

Since learning the whereabouts of Chaos Residence and having tasted the dishes at the banquet, she has been constantly thinking of the dishes described by Junior Martial Sister Young Lady of Chaos Residence.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Holy Mother Jin Ling could wait no longer; today, eat to one's heart's content!

"Elder Sister, please wait." Yunxiao hurriedly called out to stop the right leg of Holy Mother Jin Ling as she was about to step over the threshold,

"What's wrong?"

"Elder Sister, you had better prepare more magical treasures and the like, for the fee standard of Chaos Residence is rather strange." Yunxiao kindly reminded.
