Chapter 167: Bring That Monkey In

At the moment the items were taken out, Nüwa's eyes suddenly brightened a little.

"Sanniang, you cannot buy so much Peach Blossom Brew from now on.

Nüwa frowned slightly and said lightly: "Why?"

"Shopkeeper Chen said the Peach Blossom Brew is in short supply, so starting tomorrow, purchases will be limited, each person only allowed to buy five jars per day."

Nüwa's face darkened, somewhat unwilling—such fine wine, now restricted in purchase, truly bad business!

Nüwa did not get angry, after all, the reason given was indeed solid.

That so-called Shopkeeper Chen had once granted her the favor of a divine ability, so she gave him face!

However, Nüwa gave Xuan Feng a look of frustrated disappointment, scolding: "Didn't you say the limit starts tomorrow? Why didn't you buy more today?"

After feeling it over, Nüwa became even more furious, her anger rising from nowhere.

Yesterday's purchase had cost her several drops of essence blood, yet now she feels abundantly full, with no sense of burden at all.

Buying a bit more Peach Blossom Brew and losing some essence blood would be fine—when I return and find her, isn't it just a simple matter to fix?

Stubborn fool!

"Then tomorrow, bring me five jars of Peach Blossom Brew." Nüwa said calmly.

"Ah?" Xuan Feng froze, five jars?!

I can only buy five jars total—if I give them all to Sanniang, what will I drink?!

Receiving no reply, Nüwa glanced over lightly.

"Yes..." Xuan Feng instantly stood straight and proper, responding with a hint of grievance.

The Holy Person has spoken—how dare she not obey!

With a soft hum, Nüwa stopped paying attention and instead gazed at the neatly arranged food and wine on the table.

This table, she had taken out yesterday and never put back—her determination to enjoy fine food is evident.

Rising slowly, Nüwa stepped lightly, elegantly walking to the head of the dining table and sitting again, divine power drawing the food box before her; Nüwa pursed her lips.

She could hardly wait any longer.

Just as she was about to open the package and eat, Nüwa suddenly recalled: Xuan Feng had just said he would bring that monkey here!

At the moment her hand was about to touch the food box, she froze abruptly, a thought stirring—Nüwa instantly retracted all the food and wine on the table.

Sanniang, what is this...

Xuan Feng was puzzled, her eyes filled with doubt.

Nüwa pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Go bring that monkey in first."

Though the food is too tempting, seeing it first and eating later is fine—after all, storing it in my own space means no time will pass.

"Understood, Sanniang!" Xuan Feng nodded respectfully.

Ah, that's how it is!

Before Xuan Feng had fully turned around, Nüwa spoke again: "Also give me the recipe you obtained."

"Yes!"

Xuan Feng hesitated not at all, quickly presenting the recipe with both hands, then turned and left.

Is this the recipe from Chaos Residence?

Gazing at the simple cover of the book, Nüwa's eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity; her slender finger lightly turned the pages.

Xuan Feng strode straight out of the Great Hall, but at first glance did not see the monkey, her brows knitting—she grew anxious.

Didn't you say not to run around? Just causing her trouble!

"Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong! Come out!" Xuan Feng shouted, stepping forward to search, before she could take a few steps.

"Hey, where are you going?" Suddenly, Xuan Feng heard a mischievous voice.

Xuan Feng looked toward the sound and saw, not far from the hall's front, an ancient tree where Sun Wukong sat on a branch, enjoying the shade.

Seeing this, Xuan Feng's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly scolded: "Get down quickly, you monkey—if Sanniang finds out, you won't get off easy!"

The Holy Person's temperament is all too clear to her—put simply, unpredictable; better not even try to guess her thoughts.

"Got it, got it!" Sun Wukong scratched his ear, indifferent,

He lightly pushed off with his hand and flipped down.

"Do you know what you were just doing?" Xuan Feng frowned tightly, her voice slightly cold.

"I was just finding a place to lean for a moment—I didn't run off." Sun Wukong spread his hands, appearing quite innocent.

Seeing such Sun Wukong, Xuan Feng rolled her eyes—if not for being Shopkeeper Chen's apprentice, she wouldn't bother managing him!

If Sun Wukong offends Sanniang and dies, she basically can never return to Chaos Residence again.

"Does your Sanniang want to see me?" Sun Wukong chuckled, "Come on, come on! Hurry and bring me!"

Sun Wukong urged, the sooner the better—he still had to rush to the Imperial Kitchen to keep cooking!

The Heavenly Court immortals would surely starve without his cooking for days!

"Stay close, don't run around!" Xuan Feng shook her head helplessly, then walked inward.

I don't know what's wrong with Sanniang—insisting on seeing this messy-haired monkey, Xuan Feng muttered inwardly.

Sun Wukong followed Xuan Feng honestly, but his eyes were far from honest—glancing left and right, sizing up the interior decorations of the Divine Palace.

Nodding, he really does have some taste.

Having followed Chen Nuo for over ten years, Sun Wukong has also greatly improved in aesthetic appreciation.

"Reporting to Sanniang, Sun Wukong has arrived!" After a moment, Xuan Feng looked at the extraordinarily gorgeous woman before her and bowed respectfully.

Is she the Sanniang Little Phoenix mentioned?

Sun Wukong blinked, then gazed openly and directly at Nüwa.

Her beauty is unmatched, every feature exquisite, her black hair like threads of ink, enhancing her snow-white skin; her slender hands held a book, head lowered, gaze focused—indeed adding a touch of scholarly air.

Sun Wukong critiqued the dish, such a sight truly rare in the world, but he, a monkey, had no interest at all.

Grown like this, he should barely reach Master's Wife's standard, right?

Sun Wukong scratched his head, thinking, since Master took him as disciple, it's been over ten years, never had anyone accompany him, truly pitiful.

As his disciple, he naturally must take action at critical moments!

For Xuan Feng's request, Nüwa didn't lift her head, didn't respond, her eyes fixed tightly on the object in her hand, clearly, she was entranced!

Are these all dishes from Chaos Residence!

Nüwa's jade finger lightly brushed over the picture on the menu, as if she could touch the real thing.

This is Flying Dragon Soup, this is Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken!

Nüwa secretly nodded, matching the dishes she ate these two days one by one, feeling deeply moved in her heart.

Needless to say, the painting skill on this menu is truly divine, the picture actually matches what she ate, aside from plating, color and shape almost no difference.

Nüwa's gaze slid down, she saw again the three characters "Red Braised Meat", her heart understood clearly.

Is this the dish she ordered today?

Just a moment, Nüwa was drawn by the picture of red braised meat before her, red braising sauce, size uniform, fat lean proper, crystal clear.

Just by looking, Nüwa could feel a hint of how delicious its taste must be, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Subtle, yet in this quiet Great Hall it seemed somewhat abrupt.

She now really wants to directly start eating!

Just a picture, yet it actually made a Holy Person's heart itch.

Xuan Feng saw the situation, didn't continue speaking, instead shrank and lowered his body further, held his breath.

Then slightly tilted his head, gave Sun Wukong an eye signal, the Mistress was obviously distracted at heart, but must absolutely not be disturbed!

However, Sun Wukong's attention had long been captured, where would he care what Xuan Feng is doing.
