Chapter 164

Xuan Feng gave Chen Nuo a grateful look, then turned to Sun Wukong, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible.

"Sun Wukong, my mistress wants to see you—can you come with me?"

"No!" Sun Wukong refused without hesitation.

Xuan Feng instinctively said: "Why?"

Sun Wukong's speed of refusal surprised her—this was outright refusal without consideration!

"I don't even know who your mistress is—why should I go with you?"

Xuan Feng's mouth twitched—she realized this was exactly the case; the monkey had asked before, but she hadn't answered.

Thinking of her mistress's status, Xuan Feng straightened her back, her face filled with pride as she said: "My mistress is none other than the Holy Person Nüwa!"

After speaking, Xuan Feng unconsciously curled the corner of her mouth—among Heaven and Earth, Holy Persons are the strongest; revealing her mistress's identity, who in the Three Realms would dare not obey?

Sun Wukong scratched his ear: "No."

"That's right! Just follow me—since the mistress said she just wants to look, then she just wants to look, no need to be afraid." Xuan Feng seemed to have forgotten how timid she was when Nüwa was angry, nodding proudly.

But as soon as her words fell, she realized it too, staring wide-eyed at Sun Wukong with disbelief: "You just said you wouldn't go?"

A Taiyi Golden Immortal actually dares to defy the Holy Person's will?

Sun Wukong plopped onto the table, swinging one leg, speaking fluently: "Exactly—why should I go? I still need to stay here and practice my Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

Master even pointed at him, saying he'd astonish everyone at the Buddhist Dharma Feast!

"My mistress is a Holy Person!" Xuan Feng couldn't understand.

In the Three Realms, who has ever heard of someone not being respectful toward a Holy Person, trembling for fear of offense—how is this monkey so calm?

If it were someone like Shopkeeper Chen, an unparalleled master, that would make sense—but a mere Taiyi Realm monkey acting this arrogantly? A bit full of himself!

"My mistress is a Holy Person!" Xuan Feng refused to believe it, raising her voice: "This monkey couldn't possibly not know what a Holy Person is, could he?"

"Holy Persons are the strongest beings under Heaven and Earth—our mistress is one of them. You should know: beneath Holy Persons are mere ants!" Xuan Feng hurried to explain.

But Sun Wukong didn't care at all, jingling his legs, baring his teeth in a grin: "Holy Person is just Holy Person—so what?"

In his view, the strongest being in the Three Realms is only one: Master! What does being second even count as strongest?

Xuan Feng opened her mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time—she'd even tried throwing her killing whip, but it was useless; this monkey is just too hard to deal with!

Xuan Feng felt helpless, deciding to make one last struggle.

"The mistress is especially interested in Shopkeeper Chen's Chaos Residence and wants to learn more—but I've only been there twice, so I can't say much."

"Shopkeeper Chen must be busy holding down the restaurant, so it's only you left, huh?"

Xuan Feng sighed, speaking casually without much hope—after all, even the Holy Person's reputation didn't work, let alone her made-up excuse?

But as soon as her words fell,

"Hey! You should've said that sooner!" Sun Wukong braced himself, leapt down from the table, and patted his chest: "This is exactly what Old Grandson excels at—just introducing and describing Master's Chaos Residence, right?"

Sun Wukong grinned—this has been his signature skill for over ten years! Engraved in his bones!

"Come on, come on, come on! Let Old Grandson give your mistress's whatever-name a blow—uh, I mean, tell her about it!" Sun Wukong bounced toward Xuan Feng.

So promoting Chaos Residence is something Old Grandson Sun Wukong cannot shirk!

But before he could take a few steps, Sun Wukong suddenly realized something, shrank his neck, turned to look at Chen Nuo, and gave an embarrassed laugh: "Master, can I go or not?"

Although he somewhat wanted to go in his heart,

but if Master orders him to keep practicing, he'll definitely rush back to the back kitchen and train hard without a word!

Chen Nuo nodded, speaking casually: "Go ahead."

He originally had no objection—he'd even let Wukong go to the Buddhist Sect, so letting him go to Nüwa's to recognize kin is no big deal.

"Thank you, Master!" Sun Wukong beamed with joy, full of confidence: "Master, rest assured—I'll definitely introduce our Chaos Residence perfectly!"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "Chaos Residence is already on the right track—do we really need your fake promotion?"

"After you're done seeing her, just go straight back to the Heavenly Court." Chen Nuo ordered.

"Huh?" Sun Wukong felt a bit anxious hearing that, quickly saying: "No way! Master, don't you want me to go? If you don't, then I won't go!"

Chen Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, I was planning to have you leave soon anyway—you've learned nearly everything; staying here is useless."

Chen Nuo shrugged. In his place, the system automatically shields aura—even if a Holy Person had heaven-reaching powers, they couldn't dream of calculating heavenly secrets.

If Wukong stays too long here, the Buddhist Sect will notice and start to panic.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, still thinking Chen Nuo was displeased, stammering: "I can clean and do odd jobs here! Besides, with Master guiding me nearby, making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will definitely be more effective than me struggling alone!"

"You're the Head Chef of the Heavenly Court's Imperial Kitchen—how many days has it been?" Chen Nuo said flatly, glancing at the monkey still clowning around.

Exactly! Sun Wukong froze instantly, realizing the problem—now the ones in charge of the Imperial Kitchen are Old Stove and Old Food, not him belittling them, but their cooking skills alone can't hold the fort!

Even if he returns a few days late, he might not even get to see them one last time—truly not him boasting, this could totally happen.

Chen Nuo said that, and Sun Wukong also believed he wasn't angry.

Before Sun Wukong could say anything, Chen Nuo added: "As your teacher, you must remember everything I've assigned these days."

"Don't worry, Master! I'll handle things—you can rest easy!" Sun Wukong happily slapped his chest.

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "What reliable point does your impatient self even have?"

"Alright, alright!" Having received Chen Nuo's reply, Sun Wukong also relaxed, saying to Xuan Feng: "Let's hurry up and go."

Xuan Feng stood there with her mouth open, face full of shock, not speaking for a long time—this just happened as she walked away—how could it be so easy?!

Xuan Feng still hadn't reacted!

Even waving the Holy Person's tiger flag didn't work—just one sentence asking to learn about Chaos Residence, and he agreed so readily—this monkey's brain circuits feel a bit strange, she had just casually said that!

"Come on! Come on!" Sun Wukong urged again—he was still waiting to finish early and return to the Imperial Kitchen, and leaving Old Stove and Old Food there made him uneasy too.

"Oh oh!" Xuan Feng instinctively nodded, hurriedly looked at Chen Nuo, and bowed: "Shopkeeper Chen, we're leaving first."

Chen Nuo casually waved his hand.

After leaving Chaos Residence, Xuan Feng led Sun Wukong to an open space, grabbed his shoulder, and Xuan Feng cautioned

"Monkey, your Dharma power protects your body; I'm flying with you, so don't get hurt by the gale wind from my flight!"

The gale wind generated by Xuan Feng's Great Luo Golden Immortal flying at full speed is no ordinary thing; even if this monkey has Tàiyǐ cultivation, being completely unprepared makes it very easy to get injured.

However, regarding Xuan Feng's kindness, Sun Wukong didn't buy it, shook his shoulder, and broke free from her hand.
