Chapter 257

Haotian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the mountains and rivers below, and a surge of heroic spirit arose unbidden in his heart—this was his realm of heaven and earth!

Of course, though the words sounded pleasant, Haotian's mind was as clear as a mirror; he wasn't here for an inspection—he simply wanted to go to Chaos Residence for a meal.

All day reviewing this and that, there's simply no end to it.

It's enough to drive a person mad!

The old flatterer king, Tai Bai Jin Xing, seized the opportunity to insert himself, wearing a fawning smile: "Your Majesty truly loves the people as your own children."

Haotian did not pursue the matter further, merely saying lightly: "Continue the journey, continue flying."

"Yes!

Yes"

Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded repeatedly, not daring to be negligent.

He immediately urged the white clouds to accelerate slightly.

This cloud was driven by Tai Bai Jin Xing, carrying the two of them.

After all, Haotian, as the Heavenly Emperor, even if secretly making a private visit in disguise could not make a grand spectacle, yet he could not possibly toil himself by flying!

That would be utterly demeaning!

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, we have arrived at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

Tai Bai Jin Xing reminded him.

Originally still surveying the earth from above, Haotian suddenly snapped back to awareness, his eyes flashing: "Hurry down already!"

He came out precisely for this!

Landing on the ground, Haotian carefully tidied his attire, specially prepared for today.

"Remember, in a moment, I will call you Old Bai.

You shall call me..."

Haotian furrowed his brow, beginning to ponder.

He is known as the Jade Emperor, so perhaps... "Tai Bai, you may call me Jade Grandfather."

Haotian waved his hand grandly and ordered.

"Your Majesty!

This simply cannot be done, Your Majesty."

Tai Bai Jin Xing bowed repeatedly, trembling with reverence and fear.

"Let you call me that, then you shall call me that."

Haotian impatiently waved his hand.

His purpose in incognito visit was not to deceive Chen the shopkeeper, but to avoid displaying the airs of the Jade Emperor, making a grand show; if he offended Chen the shopkeeper, would it not be unbecoming? "Yes."

Tai Bai Jin Xing shrank his neck, speaking timidly.

The two passed through the tree grove, Haotian following Sun Wukong's directions and the position given by Yaochi in his search.

"At last we have arrived."

Haotian gazed at the entrance of Chaos Residence, whose decoration exuded a distinctive charm, even more refined than what Yaochi had described.

Haotian nodded, remarking that such a distinctive building, if he returned to the Heavenly Court later, could be replicated a few times—though it would still lack novelty.

Tai Bai gazed at the signboard erected before the towering structure.

He murmured: "Chaos Residence."

A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes—was this not the place the lady mentioned yesterday? It turns out, His Majesty came for this very reason.

"In a moment, keep your eyes sharp; under no circumstances must you offend the shopkeeper."

Haotian spoke in a solemn voice, earnestly instructing Tai Bai.

"Yes."

Tai Bai nodded in acceptance.

Though unaware of the reason, but whatever the Jade Emperor says, he will obey—this is also why he has become the foremost trusted minister.

"The shopkeeper Chen of Chaos Residence possesses cultivation far surpassing my own."

Haotian spoke again, stepping forward toward the gate of Chaos Residence.

Far above the Majesty?!

Tai Bai Jin Xing stared wide-eyed, his heart shaken.

Just what kind of peerless master is the Majesty seeking to meet!

Seeing Haotian depart, Tai Bai Jin Xing hurriedly followed, simultaneously etching Haotian's words deeply into his mind's sea.

Haotian cautiously pushed the door; it was not locked, and he stepped inside.

Upon arrival, Chen Nuo sat listlessly behind the counter, and upon seeing the visitor, he gave a slight start.

He also noticed Tai Bai Jin Xing following behind, nodded, and indicated two.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Chen Nuo smiled slightly and said.

Haotian gazed at Chen Nuo standing before the counter, dignified and handsome, combined with Yaochi's description, and in an instant knew who he was.

"Greetings, Shopkeeper Chen."

Haotian spoke with slight reverence.

Having heard Yaochi's account of past lessons, Haotian did not foolishly stand there using divine power to probe Chen Nuo's cultivation—after all, even Yaochi treats it as play, so trying it would be meaningless.

Otherwise, if Shopkeeper Chen were in a bad mood and got beaten, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

"Greetings, Shopkeeper Chen."

Tai Bai Jin Xing, seeing this, also hastily bowed his body; had the setting been suitable, he might have directly knelt in worship, after all, this is someone even the Majesty must look up to!

Chen Nuo was somewhat surprised, directly calling him Chen the shopkeeper, this is knowing he said "You are?"

"This is Jade Master, I am Jade Master's servant, called Old White"

Tai Bai Jin Xing directly spoke out the words that Haotian had just instructed him to say.

Chen Nuo frowned: "Jade Master"

I haven't heard of it before,

He, possessing invincible strength, could at a glance discern the cultivation of the two.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and there was also one who was a Prepared Saint Late Stage, acceptable.

Pa!

As soon as Tai Bai's words on this side fell, he had already been struck by Haotian.

Haotian gave Tai Bai Jin Xing a vague glare, how could there be such an introduction, still Jade Master.

Moreover, in front of Chen the shopkeeper of this level, it was too presumptuous, not being directly driven away already counts as a good temper.

Several years of salary deducted completely, Haotian silently thought to himself.

Jade Master, Old White.

Chen Nuo's interest aroused, he looked over the two up and down, this Jade something, although dressed ordinarily, yet naturally exuded an air of nobility from his person, just like Yaochi.

This is something that needs to be accumulated over years and months to form.

As for this white-bearded old man, he is actually also called Old White, combined with his cultivation.

Chen Nuo nodded, he seemed to already know who it was.

"Yaochi told you guys about this place?"

Chen Nuo casually asked.

Upon hearing this, Haotian's heart startled, -not bad for Chen the shopkeeper, he didn't conceal it right away.

However, Haotian was not at all embarrassed, he was also not trying to conceal his identity from Chen Nuo through probing, merely not wanting to make such a fuss, putting on the airs of the Jade Emperor.

"Chen the shopkeeper truly has eyes like torches"

Haotian laughed and said: "Indeed so, but, earliest it was still from hearing of your existence from your disciple's grandson Sun Wukong, so, I specially came to witness.

"Such is the case.

"Chen Nuo casually responded, inwardly somewhat surprised.

Unexpected that after being the Jade Emperor Haotian for so long, upon meeting he would be so respectful toward me, somewhat interesting.

"Master!

What's wrong"

Suddenly, a curious voice from Ao Ling came from the back kitchen.

She was diligently practicing basic knife technique, yet outside there was a burst of liveliness.

Chen Nuo replied: "Nothing, continue practicing"

Basic knife technique is the key focus in learning cooking skills, must practice more.

"What's that.

"Having heard Chen Nuo's message, Ao Ling pouted her lips, yet the kitchen knife in her hand did not stop.

"May I ask what brings the two of you here?"

Haotian being so forthright, Chen Nuo also did not stand on ceremony.

Haotian's face bore excitement: "Naturally to sample Chen the shopkeeper's peerless culinary skill.

"I, I have long yearned for this"

Haotian blurted out.

Having heard of Chaos Residence for only a few days, yet Haotian showed no embarrassment whatsoever, after all, a day not seen is like three autumns apart!

Quite discerning, Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows.

He pushed the menu to Haotian's front.

Received with both hands, Haotian began to browse the menu.

His spirit was instantly captured by the exquisite images on the menu, he vowed, this is the first time he knew that the presentation of food could be so good.

He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, each dish looks so good, so hard to choose!

Tai Bai Jin Xing seeing Haotian holding the menu with both hands and then no further action, Your Majesty this is looking at what thing actually so arrogant!
