Chapter 196

Xuan Feng is fine, mainly because Nüwa behind Xuan Feng is too overbearing, demanding this much every time.

Nüwa's dining standards haven't been tested yet, so I don't know what they are; I can only let Xuan Feng handle it for now.

Once his takeout plan starts being implemented, it won't be this easy to fool anymore!

Chen Nuo's eyes flickered slightly.

Holy Person! I don't know what the fee standard will be, or if there will be any good things.

Like Tongtian's previous payment method, which was a Taiyi realm magic treasure, so far this is the highest tier of magic treasure meal fee I've seen.

As a Holy Person, Tongtian only corresponded to a Taiyi Golden Immortal level magic treasure; although there's the factor of qi luck, it's still understandable.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal realm magic treasure isn't top-tier, but using it as payment for a meal is just perfect.

After all, there aren't many supreme spirit treasures of Preparatory Saint and Saint level in the whole world; even for a Saint, long-term dining is somewhat difficult.

But Tongtian is already like this; Nüwa won't be too bad either; by then, being this overbearing, just wait and see how satisfying it will be!

"Then let's pay." Thinking this, Chen Nuo withdrew his gaze and called out.

"Good!"

Xuan Feng was very proactive, directly holding up the crystal ball; with the Holy Person's power from Sanniang assisting, it's just not empty!

One drop, two drops, three drops...

A full eight drops of essence blood as payment.

"Shopkeeper Chen, payment done!" Xuan Feng put the crystal ball back, clapped her hands, looking completely relaxed and at ease.

The excess Holy Person's power in her body instantly replenished her missing essence blood, with not the slightest abnormality.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo stood up.

"Wait a moment, the dish will be ready soon."

After saying that, he went to the back kitchen to cook.

"Shopkeeper Chen! Shopkeeper Chen!"

Suddenly a hoarse and kind voice came; Chen Nuo and Xuan Feng both turned around at the same time.

Seeing Tai Bai Jin Xing, Chen Nuo wasn't surprised at all; from yesterday when he told Haotian about the proxy purchase, he felt Tai Bai Jin Xing would definitely come.

Tai Bai Jin Xing is Haotian's close aide, and more importantly, Tai Bai Jin Xing has also been to Chaos Residence before, so no further guidance is needed.

Tai Bai Jin Xing's old face beamed like daisies, and even at the doorway he came running toward Chen Nuo.

Because his robe's hem was too long, when passing through the doorway he almost tripped.

Staggering a few steps, Tai Bai Jin Xing just happened to arrive in front of Chen Nuo.

"Old man... Tai Bai pays respects to Shopkeeper Chen." Tai Bai Jin Xing also shivered, then bowed accordingly, but his words directly changed.

He originally wanted to say "old man," but after thinking it over, what does his little bit of cultivation amount to in front of Shopkeeper Chen?

I'm just old in appearance! My heart is still young!

What qualification do I have to say "old man"?

"Haotian sent you here?" Chen Nuo said softly.

"Shopkeeper Chen truly has eyes like torches, it's indeed Haotian who sent me!" Tai Bai Jin Xing laughed heartily, looking a bit simple-minded.

Regarding Chen Nuo directly calling Haotian's name, he has no displeasure at all; after all, Shopkeeper Chen would have to flatter even if Haotian himself came in person.

"Proxy purchase?"

"Mm-hmm!" Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded frantically.

He also took out the membership card Haotian gave him, smiling obsequiously: "Shopkeeper Chen, Haotian can't come, I don't know if this thing can be used for payment?"

Chen Nuo shrugged: "Sure."

Anyway, he just needs to know it's Haotian sending someone for proxy purchase; last time Haotian ate, there were still remaining uses in the account.

Then it's good, it's good; Tai Bai Jin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's not him sending it.

"What to eat?"

"Haotian wants one portion of hot pot plus ten portions of ingredients, five jars of Peach Blossom Brew and one cup of Peach Juice." Tai Bai Jin Xing blurted out.

He has been repeating this in his heart since Haotian gave the order.

On his face appeared deep envy; Haotian can really be grand, making such a big purchase at once!

Haotian? His Majesty?

Isn't that just the Jade Emperor?

Xuan Feng beside him blinked, thinking; this person she had already recognized, Tai Bai Jin Xing!

Although she lives deep in Wahuang Palace, she's not completely ignorant; whenever Heavenly Court had affairs, they sent this old man to negotiate; she's seen him from afar several times.

Listening to Tai Bai Jin Xing's words, Xuan Feng was also somewhat startled; the things the Jade Emperor ordered are only more, not less, compared to Sanniang!

"You're not eating yourself?" Chen Nuo asked.

Tai Bai Jin Xing's old face showed some hesitation, but after thinking about his own meal fee, he quickly shook his head: "No, no!"

The food at Chaos Residence, he's been thinking about it nonstop since he finished eating, but he also knows his limits, what can be done, what cannot?

His Geng Metal Breath hasn't recovered yet even now; better wait until he's fully recovered before saying anything.

Chen Nuo nodded; if he doesn't eat, then he doesn't eat; it doesn't matter.

As long as Haotian can eat, after all, Tai Bai's Geng Metal Breath can't compare to a normal Golden Immortal magic treasure no matter how.

After deducting from Haotian's account, Chen Nuo frowned: "Haotian's account balance is insufficient, already deducted completely, but still short three times the cost."

Although Haotian just topped up a few magic treasures yesterday when he came, today after all he ordered hot pot plus ten portions of ingredients; just these alone are already eleven times, not to mention adding more.

Hearing this, Tai Bai Jin Xing was stunned.

"Then, what should we do?"

Chen Nuo observed Tai Bai Jin Xing up and down, perhaps to see if there's anything valuable.

Afterwards.

"You help me pay for it, isn't that fine?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing stared with mouth agape?

Pay for it?!?!?

This is three times the meal fee, according to the Heavenly Emperor's pricing standard, that's exactly three Golden Immortal-level magic treasures.

His face skin trembled, Tai Bai Jin Xing gave an embarrassed smile: "Well then, Chen shopkeeper, you're joking!"

He wouldn't even part with his own meal fee's Geng Metal Breath, let alone Golden Immortal magic treasures!

Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "This isn't me joking, you failing to complete the task assigned by your Heavenly Emperor, how to explain it upon return is the real issue."

Exactly!

Tai Bai Jin Xing's heart jolted.

He only considered the price too high and didn't want to pay, yet overlooked this especially important point.

How to explain this to the Heavenly Emperor? Because the balance wasn't enough to buy? Then the Heavenly Emperor would surely say just let him cover it temporarily? Saying his things are too expensive to bear parting with?

Then his standing in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes would plummet, after all, if he hasn't even made a payment, how could he guarantee loyalty?

Although he is utterly loyal to the Heavenly Emperor, his conduct has always been frugal.

But for this matter, he is willing to explain, is the Heavenly Emperor willing to listen?

Tai Bai Jin Xing pondered for a long time, finally, with a face of pain, he looked toward Chen Nuo.

"Chen shopkeeper, I'll pay the rest!"

Chen Nuo said nothing, but directly reached out, took out the crystal ball, and handed it over.

Tai Bai Jin Xing twisted and writhed in struggle for a while, making Chen Nuo feel a chill.

After a good while, he then took out three Golden Immortal-level magic treasures.

Swish!

The three treasures were instantly sucked into the crystal ball!

At the moment of disappearance, Tai Bai Jin Xing's heart felt as if it missed a beat, a sharp pain—these were his magic treasures!!!

Tai Bai Jin Xing wanted to cry but had no tears, also didn't know if the Heavenly Emperor could turn back and reimburse him

Yes!

Definitely will!

Who knows, with the Heavenly Emperor's skill in selling dishes, by then his reward might be even greater!

Tai Bai Jin Xing gave himself psychological comfort, calming down considerably.

Paused then spoke: "Chen shopkeeper, please hurry and let me sit down first! The Heavenly Emperor is still quite anxious!"
