Chapter 192

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Upon seeing Haotian approach, the immortal attendants standing on either side of the hall hastily performed the great salute.

"Hmm. Rise." Haotian held his head high and strode forward, once again revealing the dignity befitting the Jade Emperor.

Passing the two, Haotian's expression remained unchanged as he strode straight into the Great Hall.

The two immortal attendants rose, scratched their heads, and were filled with doubt in their hearts: "Your Highness hasn't been inside the hall all this time, has he? How come he's come in again now?"

Moreover, if His Majesty isn't inside, why did the consort go in earlier and not come out yet?

As soon as Haotian entered the Great Hall, his face lit up with joy.

He really went to the right place at Chaos Residence today—not only did he eat the shopkeeper's exquisitely delicious dishes, but he also unexpectedly met his little sister!

The regrets of so many years have finally been compensated for as wished—how wonderful!

Although he had just finished eating, upon encountering joyous events, one's spirit feels refreshed; Haotian felt as if he hadn't eaten much at all, yet wanting to go again to Chaos Residence to eat was impossible.

Moreover, as the Jade Emperor, he absolutely cannot leave the Heavenly Court for long periods!

Thinking of this, Haotian's mind stirred slightly; after reviewing the memorials, he would go to the Imperial Kitchen to see what to eat.

Didn't the shopkeeper also say Sun Wukong had returned? Then he could properly feast later.

Although Great Chef Sun Wukong's cooking skills are far inferior to the shopkeeper's, the taste is still within the range of deliciousness, unlike the Food and Stove Gods—those two good-for-nothings—whose creations even dogs wouldn't eat.

Even Bai Tianquan eats Chaos Residence's meals!

Truly, it's a shame before his divine office. Starting tomorrow, he will surely have Tai Bai Jin Xing purchase on his behalf, so he can enjoy the shopkeeper's meals every day!

After walking a few more steps, Haotian arrived at the Inner Chamber, but upon raising his head, he was utterly dazed.

Gazing at the figure on the main seat, Haotian exclaimed in surprise: "Yaochi, how did you come here?"

Yaochi held a memorial in her hands, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she looked at Haotian, speaking playfully: "If I didn't come, how would I know our Majesty is so diligent?"

"Just reviewing a memorial, and people can collapse from it."

Haotian's face flushed slightly embarrassed, he chuckled: "Your Majesty isn't just dealing with some matters, is he? I've handled them!"

"Handling matters?" Yaochi chuckled lightly, setting down the memorial.

In the next instant, her figure flashed and she appeared beside Haotian.

"From my perspective, you went to tend to your stomach, didn't you?"

"How could that be?" Haotian's eyes widened, he replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty is not the kind of person who indulges in gluttony, is he?"

Yaochi did not immediately respond; instead, she furrowed her brow and gently sniffed.

Then she coldly smiled: "Then why does your body reek of hot pot?!"

She slowly circled Haotian.

Yaochi declared firmly: "Haotian, you went to Chaos Residence to sneak food, didn't you?"

She had just come from Sun Wukong's Imperial Kitchen, directly ruling out that possibility.

Within the Three Realms, aside from the Imperial Kitchen, the only place serving hot pot is the shopkeeper's Chaos Residence!

I go!

Haotian's heart gave a start.

Isn't Yaochi's true form the same as his?

How could she be more perceptive than a dog?

She can even smell what he ate!

Gritting his teeth, Haotian argued stubbornly: "How am I sneaking food? I'm not not paying."

After speaking, Haotian produced his fraudulently obtained membership card, waved it, and propped up the scene.

Yaochi drew a deep breath, gritted her teeth: "I, the Palace, am daily occupied with managing various harem affairs, while you, as the Jade Emperor, actually abandon state affairs without a word—what kind of conduct is this?!"

Haotian's face flushed red, he stretched his neck, adopting the air of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water—anyway, he had already gone, so what could be done.

Caught red-handed, it serves him right for his bad luck.

If it were someone else, even if they saw it, they would likely dare not say anything behind his back,

let alone confront him directly.

But facing Yaochi, he truly has no recourse, for their status and position are equal.

"You went to Chaos Residence without even inviting the Palace?! Truly excessive!" Yaochi's voice seethed with resentment.

These past two days, Sun Wukong hasn't returned, and she's been dying of hunger, yet Haotian simply slipped out to eat alone!

It's a pity she saw Sun Wukong return, finished eating, and still wanted to tell Haotian about it.

Haotian: "..."

What the heck? He thought he'd be sternly rebuked for secretly leaving the Heavenly Court, but the result was this...

Relieved, Haotian chuckled: "Next time, for sure, next time, for sure!"

Hearing this, Yaochi rolled her eyes: "Believe you? You've got a ghost!"

After sizing Haotian up from head to toe, Yaochi asked with interest: "The Palace sees you just entered the hall, your mouth nearly split to your ears—what happy event did you encounter at Chaos Residence?"

Naturally, it was meeting his little sister!

Haotian unconsciously thought this in his heart, but Haotian did not say it.

"The shopkeeper told me that even if I cannot come to Chaos Residence, I can have someone purchase on my behalf."

"If we are ever unable to leave due to duties, we can send others to help buy." Haotian directly stated another piece of good news.

The little sister has only just recovered, and it's better that fewer people know.

Haotian silently thought to himself.

Moreover, Yaochi's relationship with the little sister has never been good; she has always resented the little sister's descent to the mortal world to marry, and if she found out, who knows what trouble she might stir up.

"There's even such a good thing?!"

Yaochi heard the words, and her eyes instantly lit up.

Can you act as a purchasing agent?

Looking at Yaochi's excited face, Haotian smiled and said: "This is what Chen the shopkeeper personally told me, there's no falseness to it."

He also clenched his fists and rubbed his palms, waiting for tomorrow; today he originally wanted to try a bite of the spicy hot pot, but unfortunately it was all messed up by that dog, he, the mighty Jade Emperor, can't possibly be fighting over food with a dog, can he!

Annoying.

Tomorrow, I must have Taibai buy him ten portions of ingredients, he wants to eat hot pot until he's satisfied!

"That's wonderful!" Yaochi forgot her dignified identity as the Queen Mother and began to cheer.

There's no helping it, who let Chen the shopkeeper's dishes be so tempting!

Yaochi's corners of the mouth rose.

The dishes on Chen the shopkeeper's menu, after she went once, she has always kept them in mind, crystal clear.

Tomorrow, she also wants to find someone to place an order!

Xiao Tian's side returned to Guanjiangkou without stopping his feet, but instead immediately came out, flying to a place in the Underworld Realm.

He summoned a talisman, then immediately bit it to pieces with his dog's mouth, and then began pacing back and forth around the area; after a while, a streak of light came from the sky.

Landing, yet it was Tianpeng bringing Xiong Dao Ren.

"You guys are also this slow! This Grandpa has been waiting anxiously to death!" Xiao Tian couldn't hold back and shouted out.

This is the meeting point he and Tianpeng agreed upon; only needing to tear the talisman, the other side will then have a heartfelt sense.

"Do you think the Heavenly Court's Nantianmen is this Marshal's Marshal's mansion? Say enter and you enter, say exit and you exit?" Tianpeng rolled his eyes, mercilessly retorting.

Xiong Dao Ren at the side also patted his chest: "Exactly, our Peng brother handles ten thousand affairs daily, where would he have so much leisure time?"

Tianpeng nodded slightly, raised his head a little, yet it was Dao Ren who understood him!

Xiao Tian: "..."

How did this stink-mouthed bear also come along?

"Hurry up and say, what exactly is the matter?" Tianpeng rubbed his ears: "This Marshal doesn't have that much leisure time!"

Xiao Tian's eyes were firm: "Let's beat his mother again!"

"Not going." Tianpeng was very decisive.

"Why?"

Tianpeng shook his head: "It's only been a few days since the last treasure hunt?"

He hasn't rested enough yet!
