Chapter 229

The first to awaken divine abilities, Wu Dang Shengmu opened her eyes, her tranquil face now filled with bewilderment and shock.

Wasn't she just drinking porridge? How could this be? She found it hard to believe, but the memories in her mind were not false—she had awakened her divine abilities!

"Elder Martial Sister, come, have some soda to calm your nerves."

Bixiao, with a playful smile, handed the unfinished peach soda to Wu Dang Shengmu.

Wu Dang Shengmu, still dazed, lifted her cup, and Bixiao came over again, hopping lightly.

"Elder Martial Sister"

Bixiao stretched her voice: "What divine ability did you awaken, Elder Martial Sister?"

Wu Dang Shengmu was completely stunned: "You... you know?"

She had awakened it herself, the imprint in her mind—how did her Younger Martial Sister know? "Of course"

Bixiao chuckled: "We've all already awakened."

Zhao Gongming, who was buried in eating fragrant crispy fried chicken, twitched the corner of his mouth, his eating speed suddenly accelerating—this comment hit a bit close to home.

Bixiao explained the general idea to Wu Dang Shengmu once again.

"So there are still such miraculous things in this world."

Wu Dang Shengmu murmured to herself, gazing deeply at Chen Nuo, her heart still unable to calm.

The profundity of divine abilities—she, who had naturally accepted the inheritance, clearly understood, yet a simple bowl of porridge could actually awaken her postnatal divine abilities!

Truly a divine miracle!

She glanced again at Zhao Gongming, wolfing down his food, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Junior Martial Brother, why are you like this?"

"Him? He didn't awaken from hot pot, so he switched dishes."

Bixiao glanced lightly, teasingly said.

"What about this hot pot?"

"Nothing much—just that the probability of awakening divine abilities is too low."

Bixiao rolled her eyes, recalling: "It seems, at the Peach Banquet that day, only Maitreya among the participating immortals awakened divine abilities."

Though not entirely certain, it's probably close to the truth.

Among all the Heavenly Court immortals, only one had awakened—Ao Ling, sitting by the counter, heard this, smiled slightly, and felt a quiet pride in her heart.

She had awakened after just one meal!

So speaking, she too belongs to those with great opportunity!

Ao Ling gently stroked the glass ball, her touch growing even softer—if she could awaken a few more divine abilities here under Master...

Then her strength would absolutely soar.

Jin Ling and Bixiao also awakened in succession.

Not to mention Jin Ling—even Bixiao, this second-time awakener, found it hard to suppress her inner excitement and agitation.

Excellent divine abilities can rival top-tier treasures, just like Kong Xuan, who wields the Five-Colored Divine Light—even a Holy Person could be made to stagger by him.

This shows how powerful they are.

The enhancement divine abilities bring to strength—saying it's a multiplication is no exaggeration.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen, for the grace of opportunity."

Jin Ling bowed respectfully to Chen Nuo, performing a great salute.

Though she is usually firm in demeanor, she is not ignorant of etiquette—such great kindness is simply beyond repayment!

Wu Dang Shengmu and Bixiao also bowed to Chen Nuo.

"Wu Dang Shengmu, thank Shopkeeper Chen."

Bixiao had long since dispelled her prejudices against Chen Nuo; her reverence and doubt toward him were no less than Yunxiao's, though her naturally cold nature made such actions feel awkward.

Having already come to terms with gratitude, Chen Nuo waved his hand and spoke lightly: "Everything is merely each one's own opportunity."

Upon saying this, it inevitably made the hearts of all the women tremble with awe.

Someone like Shopkeeper Chen, who lives in seclusion yet possesses divine abilities to the extreme, is truly rare in the Three Realms.

To let others awaken heaven-defying divine abilities, yet not seek fame or profit, only taking a little gain—

Already worthy of being called selfless!

Compared to heaven-defying divine abilities, what is that little gain?

If Zhao Gongming knew what they truly thought, he'd likely want to cry but have no tears, scold his mother, and his heart would ache—millions of taels of gold, you say, what is that?!

Fortunately, he is a god of wealth—if Haotian came, he'd probably have to strip down to his underpants just to walk away.

Treasures and such fundamentally cannot be exchanged for money, and they won't even allow turning stone to gold, demanding pure naturalness—utterly absurd.

This damn little gain, this damn detachment from fame and profit? "Junior Martial Brother, you haven't awakened yet, huh?"

Jin Ling looked at Zhao Gongming, diligently striving to eat, and asked doubtfully.

"Ah, uh"

Zhao Gongming nodded awkwardly.

After all, everyone who came the first time awakened—except him, he didn't, which is a bit embarrassing.

"No way"

Holy Mother Jin Ling let out a soft cry, feeling a bit incredulous.

"Wasn't it said that eating once brings awakening? How come Junior Martial Brother, you can't?"

Holy Mother Jin Ling unintentionally delivered a triple blow of simplicity, directly causing Zhao Gongming to retreat into himself,

saying nothing.

"Elder Martial Sister! Elder Martial Sister!

What exactly are your divine abilities?"

Bixiao looked eager, unable to wait as she asked.

"Mine..."

Jin Ling's face showed a hint of pride, "I awakened the Rosy Light Vastness, ability is to isolate magical treasures, magical power and the Force of Law."

Her voice still carried some uncontainable joy.

"Force of Law"

The girls exclaimed in surprise.

No wonder Elder Martial Sister Jin Ling is so excited, the Force of Law is an extremely profound level, to be able to disregard the Force of Law, this is too heaven-defying.

"Congratulations, Elder Martial Sister, joyously obtaining the supreme divine ability"

Yunxiao smiled slightly, speaking softly.

Jin Ling shook her head repeatedly: "This is all thanks to Shopkeeper Chen enabling the awakening, so saying, Shopkeeper Chen is truly a divine person"

The girls nodded in agreement.

Chen Nuo: "..."

Although being praised by women, even if they are fairies, he felt a little pride inside, but being so openly serious, they could say it out loud, he also had no face to listen.

The girls chatted among themselves, sharing their newly awakened divine abilities.

"Ah ah ah!

I am so envious of Second Sister and the Elder Martial Sisters"

Bixiao rested her chin, her face full of envy, she also didn't miss a beat!

She ate more hot pot than Second Sister, why didn't she awaken? This is unfair.

Bixiao also greatly wanted to awaken divine ability, because her divine ability is just basic eating, eating, eating, consuming energy.

Not at all flashy, cannot be unleashed to show off, in contrast, Second Sister's is both flame and sword technique, not only strong, when unleashed it also turns heads.

Could it be... Bixiao furrowed her beautiful brows, her own awakening probability from paying the bill should be high, a sudden inspiration struck, she suddenly remembered, Second Sister's meal money was paid by herself.

Could it be related to this? Bixiao thought more and more, feeling she had grasped the truth.

But, when she turned her head to see Zhao Gongming at that moment, she instantly dismissed this thought.

If it were because of not paying the bill herself, but this one has already paid for three people's bills, and moreover ate all three dishes, yet the Elder Martial Brother who didn't awaken—what is his situation? "So saying, this is just judging by appearance"

Bixiao muttered to herself.

"Elder Martial Sister, what did you say?"

"Ah, I said your awakened divine abilities are truly all very powerful"

So frustrating!

Zhao Gongming ate while inwardly shouting, listening to the Elder Martial Sisters' and Younger Martial Sisters' conversation, he felt even more nakedly envious.

This truly is person compared to person infuriating to death, he spent so much money, yet not a single one awakened, how vexing!

He knows he is not some Air Luck Elite, but it shouldn't be this miserable.

Originally just tasting the flavor feeling, not much at all, even because of this dish's flavor feeling, this money spent still had a little profit.

But now that he knows awakening divine ability is possible, it's truly unbearable, he also wants to awaken divine ability, this Chaos Residence has screwed him over terribly!
