Chapter 201

~8 min read 1,416 words

"Haha, can't be slow, or else His Majesty will beat me to death if I'm even slower!"

Tai Bai Jin Xing laughed hahaha and walked out of the gate.

Seeing Tai Bai Jin Xing leave, Zhi Nv turned around, smiling as she looked at Chen Nuo: "Shopkeeper Chen, the clothes you asked me to make last time are already done."

Quite fast, Chen Nuo felt surprised in his heart, raising an eyebrow: "Oh? Take them out and let me see."

"Yes..."

Zhi Nv lightly tapped her jade finger, and two sets of clothing—one blue, one yellow—appeared on the counter surface.

Chen Nuo walked forward, carefully examining them, his hand lightly touching the fine texture of the needlework seams.

Just like! Truly like! This is practically identical to the uniform of his previous life's mysterious food delivery organization!

"Shopkeeper Chen, how is it?" Zhi Nv asked tentatively; she had only relied on feeling after listening to Shopkeeper Chen's description, without much confidence.

"Excellent!" Chen Nuo nodded satisfactorily, generously praising: "I didn't expect that with just a few words, you could restore it this excellently."

No wonder she's the renowned top tailor of the Three Realms—not only is her clothing-making speed fast, but the finished products also look good.

Although it's not a perfect one-to-one reproduction, it also has unique ancient-style features, a rare fine product.

Zhi Nv shook her head, humbly saying: "Compared to Shopkeeper Chen's needlework skill, I am merely of insignificant cultivation level."

???

Chen Nuo felt a bit dazed, comparing himself to her as having insignificant cultivation? How could he not know his own sewing skills were that awesome?

After thinking it over, Chen Nuo understood: she was treating her own awakened needlework divine ability, Yun Lock Xiu Yu, as something he inherently possessed.

These people have always believed all divine abilities were ones he had long since mastered, hence they thought he had the power to awaken divine abilities in others.

Regarding this misunderstanding, Chen Nuo had no desire to explain it—there was no benefit, and wasn't this just blatantly lowering his own status?

He never does thankless, unrewarding tasks.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for teaching me the Yun Lock Xiu Yu divine ability!" Zhi Nv's expression was sincere; for her, obsessed with embroidery, the meaning of this divine ability goes without saying.

"Without Shopkeeper Chen's divine ability assistance, I wouldn't have been able to smoothly complete the task you entrusted me with!" Zhi Nv said firmly.

These two sets of clothing were both made by her using the new technique from the divine ability inheritance.

Chen Nuo's mouth twitched—this praise was a bit over the top!

These two garments, given Zhi Nv's embroidery skill, even without divine ability, she could easily make them with plenty to spare.

Zhi Nv waved her hand, and several more pieces were stacked onto each of the two garments.

"All of them are here now." Zhi Nv said softly.

"Enough." Chen Nuo nodded, putting all these clothes away.

It's about quality, not quantity—he didn't plan to hire too many delivery staff in his plan; just a few with sufficient flying speed would do.

Of course, they also need to resist temptation—otherwise, when delivering meals, they might eat half on the way.

He lightly rested his hand on the counter; now that the delivery uniforms were ready, the personnel selection...

Chen Nuo's eyelid twitched—why haven't the Ox Demon King and Peng Demon King, those two idiots, come back yet?

They said they were taking leave—has it been several days already?

But this is just how time is perceived in this world—what is a year to us is but a finger snap in the eyes of immortals and demons.

When the Ox Demon King and Peng Demon King, these two lacking ones, return, not letting them just watch me eat three days' worth of food as torment—otherwise, it wouldn't be considered complete.

"Why didn't Nezha come today?" After withdrawing his divine sense, Chen Nuo casually asked; he wasn't with Zhi Nv before, was he?

"Him?" Zhi Nv blinked, the corner of her mouth lifting playfully: "The Third Prince is probably, I'd guess, playing with rouge and powder right now."

Chen Nuo: "..."

Rouge and powder...

This Nezha, awakening divine abilities is truly eccentric—aside from Zhao Gongming's sandalwood divine ability that feigns reality to exchange real money,

I haven't really seen a few that could rival it.

The title of Number One Cross-Dressing Big Shot in the Three Realms belongs to Nezha alone.

"What would you like to eat?" Chen Nuo asked softly.

"I'll just have the dish you recommended earlier, Shopkeeper Chen."

Zhi Nv smiled slightly; she usually eats light food more often, but the vegetarian dishes at Chaos Residence seem basically nonexistent, huh!

The only mapo tofu, judging by the picture, is still spicy flavor—so in that case, I'll just go with what Shopkeeper Chen said.

Chen Nuo nodded: "Good."

Zhi Nv stepped forward, about to proactively pay for the meal, but Chen Nuo pointed his finger, pushing the crystal ball on the counter back to its original position, speaking fluently: "Having completed my task, today your meal is on the house."

The restaurant is his—he can be willful.

As long as one has contributed to the restaurant, they should be rewarded this way.

Zhi Nv did not refuse; Shopkeeper Chen's divine abilities are vast—if such a great being were slighted, they would truly get angry.

She bowed slightly, smiling cleverly and beautifully: "Then thank you, Shopkeeper Chen."

"No problem." Casually waving his hand, Chen Nuo walked toward the back kitchen: "Find a seat, it'll be ready soon."

"Understood."

Chen Nuo walked back to the back kitchen, secretly nodding; his earlier spontaneous act of waiving the meal fee had given him some inspiration, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a way forward.

Originally, his plan was to reward the best delivery staff each month with a magical artifact or something after hiring them.

Now it seems, rewarding with dishes might just work.

For example, the best delivery staff gets one free serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall per month?

That could work!

Although dishes are seen as precious treasures in the eyes of those immortals, to him, as long as the ingredients are complete, it's just a matter of having hands—too simple.

"Have you bought everything back?" At a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Yaochi looked at the respectfully greeting Bai Hua Xian Zi and asked softly.

Bai Hua nodded: "Replying to the Lady, everything has been bought back!"

Taking small steps, she approached Yaochi, took out the food, arranged them one by one on the stone table beside her, and then presented the Crown VIP membership card with both hands.

Yaochi reached out and took it.

"Lady, this card is too amazing! At Chaos Residence, you ordered so many things, yet you didn't have to pay a single coin!" Bai Hua Xian Zi exclaimed in amazement.

This statement was nothing short of flattery spoken with perfect timing—if one were to discuss what Yaochi currently takes pride in, this would be it.

This Crown VIP membership obtained from Chen Nuo is truly deserving of being the first; even the Peaches of Immortality must yield to it, she smiled slightly, Yaochi's exquisite face bearing a hint of pride.

"That is only natural—this is absolutely unique, and the Palace has greatly aided Chaos Residence! It is only because of Shopkeeper Chen that the Palace has become a Crown VIP member."

Crown VIP member?

Bai Hua Xian Zi murmured to herself, feeling doubtful—this name, why does it sound so strange and odd?

Before Bai Hua could even collect her thoughts, Yaochi spoke again: "Today, did Wu Tian send anyone?"

Haotian?

Bai Hua stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood—she was referring to the Jade Emperor, after all. In the entire Heavenly Court, who dares to directly address the Heavenly Emperor by name? Probably only the Lady herself.

"Replying to the Lady, the Heavenly Emperor has sent Tai Bai Jin Xing to Chaos Residence." Bai Hua hurriedly replied.

"Tai Bai Jin Xing," Yaochi nodded.

Exactly as she had expected.

Yaochi glanced over Bai Hua Xian Zi with a sweep of her eyes, then asked seriously: "Was the purchasing process smooth? You didn't offend Shopkeeper Chen, did you?"

Bai Hua, upon hearing this, quickly shook her head: "This servant did not disrespect Shopkeeper Chen, and before leaving, I even paid my respects to him!"
