Chapter 2

"Pay up, or you won't be able to eat it." Chen Nuo placed the egg fried rice on the table and reached out to Sun Wukong, saying.

Since it's a shop, there's no such thing as eating a free meal—payment is required.

"I have no money!" Sun Wukong frantically scratched his ears and cheeks, then suddenly recalled a human saying and quickly said: "My pouch is cleaner than your face!"

Chen Nuo chuckled, wondering if that parable was implying his face was dirty.

However, Chen Nuo slightly shifted his body to block the egg fried rice.

"But I really have no money—how about I give you this outfit?" Sun Wukong pointed to his clothes and said apologetically to Chen Nuo.

Anyway, as a monkey, wearing clothes or not feels the same—there's no difference.

Chen Nuo glanced disdainfully at the ragged clothes on Sun Wukong's body that weren't even worth looking at.

What use could these clothes possibly have? As a cleaning cloth?

If you brought out the attire from after causing trouble in the Dragon Palace, it might still be worth considering.

Now Sun Wukong had no way out.

"I only have this monkey hair all over my body." Sun Wukong muttered dejectedly, the rice was incredibly fragrant, and he wasn't willing to just leave like this.

But he knew that eating at a human restaurant truly required money—could it be that this meal within reach had nothing to do with him?

Chen Nuo's heart stirred—monkey hair?

After this monkey became a disciple, his monkey hair was indeed a good thing, but I don't know if the hair of an unbaptized monkey still holds value.

"Pull out a few strands for me to see." Chen Nuo decided to try.

Upon hearing this, the monkey rejoiced, hope rose in his heart, and with quick eyes and hands, he directly pulled out three strands of monkey hair and handed them to Chen Nuo.

"System, test it—see if it has any value." Chen Nuo looked at the monkey hair in his hand and said inwardly.

"Ding, detected three ordinary monkey hairs from Sun Wukong, containing faint Spirit Clear Stone Monkey bloodline and extremely faint Chaotic Magic Ape residual bloodline, exchangeable for one hundred merit."

Yes!

Chen Nuo's eyes instantly lit up—no wonder he's one of the Four Monkeys of Chaos, even his monkey hair is this valuable.

He lacks cultivation talent, so his cultivation realm can only be raised through merit.

After coughing once, Chen Nuo slowly said: "Three strands of monkey hair for one portion of egg fried rice—are you willing?"

"Willing, very willing!" Sun Wukong exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Then, enjoy your meal."

Chen Nuo smiled slightly, stored the monkey hair in the System Space, placed down the egg fried rice, and made space.

Before Chen Nuo finished speaking, Sun Wukong couldn't wait any longer and sat down, gazing at the fragrant, golden egg fried rice before him.

His stomach instantly rebelled, and each grain of rice was plump and crystal-clear, greatly stimulating the monkey's appetite.

He didn't care if it was hot—Sun Wukong grabbed a small handful and shoved it into his mouth; the next moment, he widened his eyes.

Taste buds, instantly blooming!

Delicious—this delicious food, what more could I want? Peaches? Those are trash!

Each grain of rice wrapped in egg liquid is truly supreme!

What in this world could be happier than eating rice?

At this moment, Sun Wukong felt that even if he had no monkey hair left all over his body, even if he couldn't cultivate anymore, as long as he could eat this egg fried rice, everything would be worth it.

Before his mouth had finished savoring the flavor, his throat already involuntarily swallowed, and his stomach cried out even more urgently.

Sun Wukong even used both hands, grabbing left and digging right to eat the dry rice.

This made Chen Nuo beside him stare dumbfounded—though he had imagined monkeys eating ungracefully, he hadn't expected Sun Wukong's eating manner to be so ugly!

However, this egg fried rice is merely a basic dish, and moreover, the simplest kind.

Moreover, it's easy to make, but wanting to make it well is not an easy task.

Chen Nuo's egg fried rice can be called supreme,

absolutely supreme!

The more the monkey ate, the warmer his stomach became.

At first he thought it was just the food's own heat, but this power began to wander through his body, and wherever it passed, everything felt extraordinarily comfortable.

Bloodline boiling, feeling his body become much more transparent, while also wearing a look of intoxication, even letting out a groan.

Chen Nuo was startled, nearly falling from his chair—this monkey eating a plate of egg fried rice could even think of that matter?

If this were to trigger a biological reaction in the next life, wouldn't I be the one suffering?

But what surprised Chen Nuo even more was that it continued afterward.

Sun Wukong only felt this energy wandering through his entire body, and then it actually gathered at his eyes.

Instantly, Sun Wukong felt his eyes swelling, as if something wanted to come out.

Sun Wukong raised his head.

Boom!

Two beams of light shot from Sun Wukong's eyes, instantly piercing the roof and shooting straight into the azure sky above, though the roof suffered no damage—it was merely light penetrating through.

Chen Nuo frowned tightly—could his egg fried rice still have special effects after eating?

Nine Heavens, Lingxiao Baodian.

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, this official descended to the mortal realm to subdue demons and captured two hundred demons from Chiling Peak, beheaded the demon king!"

Li Jing stepped forward before the hall, reporting work to the Jade Emperor Haotian seated on the dragon throne.

Middle-aged face, dignified yet full of vigor—since being appointed Heavenly King, his days have grown more comfortable day by day.

"I already know." Haotian said lightly—this trivial matter, he fundamentally wouldn't pay attention to.

What he cares about is the monkey entering the underworld realm of Fangcun Mountain—within a few years, it will be the time of great chaos in the Heavenly Court.

When that time comes, Haotian will become the biggest laughingstock of the Three Realms; thinking back to how, under the pressure of the Western Two Saints, he agreed to such a humiliating matter, Haotian's heart slowly filled with anger.

Holy Person! Can a Holy Person do whatever they want!

Haotian's eyes gathered anger, sooner or later one day, he will make these lofty Holy Persons also have to act according to his expression!

Suddenly, a golden radiance rose from Li Jing's feet, illuminating him with a brilliance of myriad zhang, full of momentum.

Based on the performance just reported, that's called maxing out the pretentiousness.

"Is General Li about to break through temporarily?" The immortals began to whisper to each other.

Some immortals listed on the Investiture of the Gods, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

This Li Jing has trash aptitude, but he achieved Meat Saint, yet can still continue cultivation, unlike them, who have excellent foundations, yet can only stand still, their life and death also in a single thought of Yudi Haotian.

In less than three seconds, the radiance disappeared, how short.

The immortals looked speechlessly at Li Jing, when others break through it's called a grand momentum, how come when it comes to you it becomes weak?

Li Jing even more so had a face of confusion, what happened?

Yudi Haotian fundamentally remained unmoved, in an instant he perceived the clue, and said: "Thousand-Mile Eye, go look."

"Yes!"

Thousand-Mile Eye responded by stepping forward, immediately employing Thousand-Mile Eye Divine Communication to look toward the Immortal Realm, but saw only emptiness.

Shortly after, Thousand-Mile Eye withdrew the divine communication, hurriedly apologizing and saying: "Reporting to Yudi, Wèichén has not detected any abnormality, please still Yudi reprimand."

"All of you retreat." Haotian waved his hand, and did not say anything further.
