Chapter 200: The Complaining Xuan Feng

As the Bai Hua Xian Zi, she is responsible for the blooming of all flowers in the Heavenly Court; the dew condensed from each celestial flower in the morning, when gathered and catalyzed by magic, can be refined into Bai Hua Lu.

Bai Hua Lu is the essence of all flowers, produced after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; it not only beautifies and nourishes the skin but also has a certain effect in enhancing cultivation.

It is not a particularly rare item, but the yield is relatively low; despite having so many flowers in her field, after harvesting the dew, she can only refine two or three drops per day.

Although the Sanniang uses it, she has accumulated quite a bit over these millions of years.

"So good?" Tai Bai Jin Xing exclaimed in surprise, unable to suppress the envy in his heart; it was obvious how this Bai Hua Lu came about, and he understood it clearly.

In comparison, his Geng Metal Breath is far too miserable—it requires not only self-refinement, but giving too much of it even poses a threat to one's life.

Bai Hua took out an exquisite small bottle; this is what she uses to hold the flower dew.

Opening the stopper, a secluded fragrance drifted out—not very strong, yet very natural.

Chen Nuo said lightly: "Just drip it onto this crystal ball."

"Is the price of this peach juice also one drop?" Bai Hua asked.

Chen Nuo shook his head: "No, peach juice and freshly squeezed peach are both half the standard dish price."

Although this item tastes good, it lacks the key effect for awakening divine abilities; selling it at the original price would be cheating people, wouldn't it?

Oh!

Bai Hua understood, holding the small bottle and tilting it slightly.

One drop.

Her hand was so unsteady, drop by drop, just barely reaching half the size of a drop.

Payment successful.

Hearing the system's prompt in his mind, Chen Nuo's mouth twitched.

Awesome!

How did he manage to get exactly one point five, neither more nor less?

As for this, Bai Hua had long grown accustomed to it; she trims the flowers and grasses every day.

For precision, she avoids using magic, always holding the bottle, and over time has developed this skill.

"Find a seat and wait a moment," Chen Nuo called out, then turned and walked into the room without looking back.

Wahuang Palace.

"Sanniang, I've bought what you wanted." Xuan Feng entered the Great Hall carrying a large bundle.

Today, Nüwa was not sitting in the upper seat as before, but had already taken her place at the central dining table in the hall, poised and ready.

The dining table had been set up these past two days and had not been put away.

Upon hearing Xuan Feng's words, Nüwa closed the menu she had been intently studying and gently placed it to one side.

"Serve it up." Her tone was flat, yet mixed with a faint, barely perceptible anticipation.

"Yes!" Xuan Feng placed a large bag on the table and began undoing the fastenings, saying, "Sanniang."

"Hmm?"

"Today I went to place an order and ran into Tai Bai Jin Xing!" Xuan Feng spoke up.

"Oh?" A hint of interest appeared in Nüwa's otherwise calm eyes: "And then?"

Does anyone else come to this shop of Chen the Manager?

Xuan Feng's face showed a hint of indignation: "Clearly I arrived first, yet that Tai Bai Jin Xing claimed he was purchasing on behalf of the Jade Emperor and demanded Chen the Manager prepare his order first!"

"You gave in?" Nüwa's expression showed some displeasure.

"How could it be?!" Xuan Feng quickly shook his head, lifted his chin slightly, and said proudly: "How could I possibly yield?"

"I directly invoked your title before you, Sanniang—you have Haotian's protection, and I have yours! Once I said that, Tai Bai Jin Xing was so frightened he turned red-faced and embarrassed, and dared not say another word about cutting in line."

Xuan Feng felt pleased with herself, yet despite saying so, she didn't know why she was merely annoyed by this matter, rather than resentful toward Tai Bai Jin Xing.

That old man with the white beard looked rather simple-minded, yet still quite amusing.

The corner of Nüwa's mouth twitched upward imperceptibly—this was about right; when had Haotian's face ever dared to surpass hers? Still, Tai Bai Jin Xing knew how to read the situation.

Upon seeing Xuan Feng completely lay out her purchases,

Nüwa raised her phoenix eyebrows.

"You... also bought roasted lamb leg?" Nüwa pointed with her slender jade hand.

Since the lamb leg was too large, Chen Nuo had not used boxed packaging but wrapped it directly with other materials.

Two identical packages appeared—obviously for this reason.

"Exactly!" Xuan Feng nodded and smiled: "Sanniang, your eyes are like torches; the dishes you choose must be the best! I also want to follow along and have a bite!"

"Slick." Nüwa rolled her eyes, and with a thought, all the items she had ordered today automatically flew to her front.

She lightly waved her hand: "Go out, I want to dine."

"Yes!" Xuan Feng nodded with a grin, packed away her portion, and also waited to return to her residence to enjoy it properly.

I must awaken my flight divine ability as soon as possible to defeat that hateful monkey.

After a while, Chen Nuo walked out of the kitchen, followed by the packaged dishes and drinks drawn by magic, and the peach blossom brew on the counter also flew out automatically.

Unlike Xuan Feng's, Chen Nuo packed these into two large bags.

One was for Yaochi's order, one for Bai Hua's own; Xuan Feng had come over several times already and basically knew everything, so he didn't bother with this one.

"Here, your things are ready." Chen Nuo handed over the two bags.

"This one is your proxy purchase, this one is yours." Chen Nuo said, still pointing with his finger.

"Thank you, Manager Chen!" Bai Hua received it respectfully, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, having finally completed Sanniang's task; otherwise, she would always feel uneasy inside.

Turning to look at Zhi Nu, Bai Hua said softly: "Younger Sister, do you want to come with me to take away the food?"

If we go together, she would just wait a bit longer.

Zhi Nu slightly shook her head, smiling: "No need, Elder Sister—I'll just eat here in the shop."

Hearing this, Bai Hua pursed her lips: "That's fine."

"Then I'll go back first!"

If I don't go back, Sanniang will get anxious!

Bai Hua bade farewell to Chen Nuo and Zhi Nu, and even gave Chen Nuo a respectful salute.

Left behind, the embarrassed Tai Bai Jin Xing shrank his hand back, feeling awkward.

It's just that he spoke a bit sharply earlier—does he really have to ignore him?

Immediately, Tai Bai Jin Xing turned his gaze to Chen Nuo, somewhat anxious: "Shopkeeper Chen, it's my turn now! Help me quickly! If I'm late, the Heavenly Emperor will reprimand this old man."

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"What are you panicking about?" With a casual gesture, he gathered the drink Wu Tian wanted from the counter, along with the extra peach juice.

A thought stirred.

Again, portions of ingredients appeared, emerging in abundance.

"All set." Chen Nuo shrugged: "Wu Tian's items are ready."

Tai Bai Jin Xing stared blankly: "That fast?!"

"Of course!" Chen Nuo rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless: "You haven't eaten this at the Peach Banquet? Do you need to make something?"

These ingredients are all prepared by me himself; he just needs to have the materials ready.

"As for the pot, I won't lend it this side—Wukong hosted the Peach Banquet before, handled hot pots, he doesn't lack this; when the time comes, just ask him for a bite." Chen Nuo gave a calm instruction.

Indeed, Tai Bai Jin Xing suddenly understood, bowing repeatedly in thanks.

"Shopkeeper Chen, then this old man takes his leave!"

"Go ahead." Chen Nuo casually waved his hand.

Tai Bai Jin Xing carefully stored these items one by one, silently counting in his mind—each ingredient was indeed eleven portions.

"Zhi Nu Xing Guan, this old man takes his leave first." Tai Bai Jin Xing laughed and nodded.

Compared to Bai Hua Xian Zi, he still found Zhi Nu Xing Guan's temperament better.

Zhi Nu slightly nodded, smiling gently: "Tai Bai Lao Xian, take care."
