Chapter 219

Yes!

If it were an ordinary place, it would definitely damage the Yao Shi Gong's reputation, but who is this Chen shopkeeper?

Chen shopkeeper is a peerless master!

Although his reputation is not prominent, the Golden-Winged Dapeng feels that even if it were the Kunpeng senior, he might not necessarily be a match for the Chen shopkeeper.

Moreover, Chen shopkeeper also possesses the ability to awaken divine communication in those who eat, which is unfathomable!

For an ordinary person to have the opportunity to eat a meal at Chaos Residence is already considered a great opportunity, let alone being able to stay long-term by Chen shopkeeper's side.

This Peng Demon King, even if he becomes a menial servant, can be considered a great opportunity, a member of the Da Yun faction—under such circumstances, how could the Yao Shi Gong possibly quibble?

After all, being close to the water tower, it is relatively convenient to eat whatever one wants.

"You... what do you have to do as a menial servant?" His eyes darted, the Golden-Winged Dapeng leaned in, lowered his voice, and asked the Peng Demon King.

The Peng Demon King pondered for a moment, then said: "Carrying plates, washing dishes, chopping vegetables, cleaning..."

One after another, the Peng Demon King muttered on endlessly, all sorts of trivial matters.

The Golden-Winged Dapeng tugged at the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless: "You, how did you manage to endure this?"

They are both considered the strength of a regional demon king; though their temperament is not said to be violent and tyrannical, it is certainly not delicate—such menial chores, if it were him, he would have long been annoyed to no end.

The Peng Demon King smiled slightly, a mysterious expression on his face: "Because of welfare."

"Welfare?" The Golden-Winged Dapeng did not understand its meaning, somewhat dazed.

"If eating here is half price, would you do this much work?" The Peng Demon King countered.

Half price?

The Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart stirred—his meal money is actually a thread of innate Yin-Yang Qi, and if it were half price, it would be half a thread.

Although his Innate Yin-Yang Qi Bottle contains the source and can generate innate Yin-Yang Qi, after all, this thing is precious beyond compare; each thread condensed requires a long time to refine.

Thus, with mutual gain and loss, he could actually pay half again!

"Then I definitely will!" The Golden-Winged Dapeng slammed the table and stood up, without hesitation.

The Peng Demon King shrugged his shoulders: "So that's it."

"This is the welfare benefit of working at Chaos Residence." The Peng Demon King chuckled.

Prodigious! The Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart startled—this welfare is just this? So good?

Without the slightest hesitation, the Golden-Winged Dapeng hurriedly bowed respectfully to Chen Nuo: "I beg shopkeeper Chen to also take me on as a worker!"

After just one meal, the Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart became very clear—his life could no longer do without the dishes from Chaos Residence!

Chen Nuo slightly raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, but he did not speak.

So easily making the Golden-Winged Dapeng willingly come to work—this is too casual!

Chen Nuo thought to himself.

"Hey, you didn't join the Buddhist Sect, did you? Why aren't you staying there, coming to Chaos Residence to work?"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng glared: "What do you mean I joined the Buddhist Sect? That's my brother, not me! I'm just staying temporarily!"

Immediately, he exclaimed with righteous indignation: "How could I possibly join that bunch of bald donkeys! All day long, gates and ways, nothing but rules."

It could annoy him to death, and besides, the Buddhist Sect's garbage vegetarian food—he would feel tormented even eating one more bite, let alone being thoroughly inducted!

"Coming here is fine, but you cannot slack off and not work—no matter how unrestrained you were as a demon king before, do not bring your habits here." Chen Nuo spoke lightly, his words carrying a hint of warning.

After all, the Golden-Winged Dapeng committed such transgressions in Journey to the West; although now nothing has happened, he still needs to be reminded.

"Yes!" The Golden-Winged Dapeng quickly nodded and responded, glanced at the Peng Demon King, and guaranteed: "Shopkeeper Chen, rest assured! I guarantee I will work better than him!"

Upon hearing this,

The Peng Demon King could not contain his anger: "Golden Peng, what do you mean? Although your cultivation is higher than mine, this is Chaos Residence—first come, first served, don't you understand? I can consider myself your senior!"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng then gave a dismissive glance: "Just this? Anything, one should judge by strength, not seniority—especially for an enlightened master like shopkeeper Chen!"

Naturally, the Golden-Winged Dapeng also entered into the flattery mode.

Watching the two demons arguing, Chen Nuo helplessly rubbed his forehead—these two, who look at each other with mutual disdain, have both come; it seems that in the future, his Chaos Residence will hardly have any peaceful moments.

"You two have the same duties. No one is higher or lower." Chen Nuo spoke softly, interrupting the two demons.

Look! He just knew the shopkeeper is not a pedantic person!

The Golden-Winged Dapeng's heart leapt with joy, looking toward Chen Nuo: "As long as shopkeeper Chen gives orders, I will not shirk my duty!"

Actually daring to snatch what he was about to say!

"Me too!" The Peng Demon King refused to yield.

As the words fell, the two demons glared at each other, needle against needle.

Chen Nuo gently shook his head, leisurely speaking: "From today on, you need not do any trivial matters."

"What you need to do is only one thing."

The two demons exchanged glances, then in unison said: "Shopkeeper, just say it—no problem!"

Chen Nuo slightly nodded, very satisfied with the demons' attitude, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have you do food delivery."

"Food delivery?" The two demons were quite puzzled.

"That is, delivering meals to customers."

The Peng Demon King and the Golden-Winged Dapeng nodded—ah, so that's it.

However, the Peng Demon King frowned: "Since they come to order food, why not just take it along the way? Why do we still need to deliver?"

"Exactly!" The Golden-Winged Dapeng echoed in agreement, he very much agreed with the Peng Demon King's words—this isn't somewhat redundant?

Could it be they still need to escort? Protect safety?

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "If they already came to the shop, what use would you be? I mean, if someone remotely orders dishes, your task is to deliver the meals intact and undamaged."

"But," the Peng Demon King scratched his head, unable to help asking: "If they don't come to the shop, how would we know what dishes they ordered?"

Isn't this contradictory?

"I have my own way." Chen Nuo said with a relaxed expression, pulling out the takeout machine he had just finished not long ago and tossing it in front of the Peng Demon King.

The Peng Demon King caught it smoothly, looking at the stone slab in his hand and blinked: "Boss, what is this?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng also came over at the right time, and the two demons carefully examined the stone slab, wanting to see what was suspicious.

"This is the takeout machine I made, for ordering food." Chen Nuo said lightly.

"I go! What the hell is this?!" The Peng Demon King fumbled with it, but the stone slab in his hand suddenly lit up in the middle.

Startled, he almost threw it away, but after focusing his gaze, he found that the slab was covered with pictures of dishes, and a light swipe could switch to the next one.

He was instantly amazed.

"This thing is fun!" The Peng Demon King swiped once, then again, and indeed, all the dishes on the menu appeared on it.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant: "This thing, is it a shadow stone?"

With higher cultivation and broader knowledge, the Golden-Winged Great Peng stated outright the material of this stone slab.

This thing is not sturdy, nor is it a particularly high-quality material, but its shadow-capturing ability is indeed unique, except that its quantity is very scarce.

Before Honghuang, there were many shadow stones in existence, but since the Shen Feng Da Jie Sage War caused the world to collapse, and the Dao Ancestor intervened to refine it into the present Immortal Realm's Si Zhou, they have become increasingly rare.

Now, in the Three Realms, shadow stones are already rarely seen.
