Chapter 316: The First Person to Order Takeout

~7 min read 1,398 words

Moreover, the Holy Person's Power she gave only has the function of defense.

Moreover, the Holy Person's Power bestowed upon Xuan Feng by heaven is the same—it can only stimulate the refinement of essence blood and is harmless to the Three Realms.

And now, she is merely using it to pay the bill, so it should be fine.

"Mother, how is it?"

Xuan Feng curiously leaned forward and asked, "Mother, is your payment method expensive?"

"Not expensive, very cheap."

Nüwa shook her head lightly without saying it outright.

"What is that?"

Xuan Feng couldn't help but ask again.

Mother already said it's very cheap—even if it were more expensive, it wouldn't be that much more, right?

Xuan Feng thought to herself.

"Just Holy Person's Power."

Nüwa spoke in a calm voice, as if saying something utterly insignificant.

What, what?!

Xuan Feng stared, mouth agape, almost thinking she had misheard—Mother's payment method is Holy Person's Power? Is that called cheap? She must be joking! A single strand of Holy Person's Power that Mother casually infused into her body could generate more than ten drops of phoenix essence blood!

Alas!

Xuan Feng sighed, wanting to cry but having no tears, and could only say, "Having power lets one be willful!"

Nüwa carved a mark on the shadow stone and ultimately chose beef noodles.

For some unknown reason, she wanted to eat some staple food today, and seeing those chunks of beef in the picture, which looked no worse than ordinary dishes, her appetite was greatly whetted.

Settling her mind, Nüwa, following Xuan Feng's instructions, transmitted Holy Person's Power toward the lowest crystal stone slab.

One strand, two strands, three strands... Nüwa released a continuous stream, in fact releasing seven strands of Holy Person's Power.

Then, facing the transmission stone, she attached her magical power to it, pursed her lips, but did not immediately speak.

For some unknown reason, facing this Chen shopkeeper she had never met, she actually felt somewhat restrained in her heart as a Holy Person.

After a moment of reflection, Nüwa finally spoke softly: "Chen... shopkeeper, trouble bringing a bowl of beef noodles, five jars of peach blossom brew, and one cup of peach juice and freshly squeezed peach, the money has already... been paid over."

Having finished speaking, Nüwa unconsciously let out a relieved breath.

Turning her head to look at Xuan Feng, still doubting life: "Is it enough just to do this?"

Startled back to awareness by Nüwa's words, Xuan Feng nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, Chen the shopkeeper said exactly that at the time."

After placing the order, one can just wait for the food to be delivered.

【Ding!

Nüwa paid seven strands of Holy Person's Power—should it be converted into corresponding merit?】Chen Nuo's mind suddenly received the system's prompt tone.

His body trembled, Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, utterly unprepared for Nüwa's payment method to be this!

This thing given to him, he wouldn't even know how to use it!

Moreover, in Chaos Residence, he was originally invincible and had no need for this thing.

But, having it is still better than not having it, right? I don't know—how much merit can this Holy Person's Power be exchanged for? Thinking this, Chen Nuo also practiced a bit, exchanging one strand of Holy Person's Power for merit.

Swish!

Directly, the incense value on the system panel surged by a large stretch.

I go!

Chen Nuo stared, stunned—so much!

It's almost enough to match a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level treasure, but then Chen Nuo reconsidered and felt something was off.

If we talk about strength, holding Holy Person's Power, how could a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal-level treasure possibly resist it? Logically, the merit exchanged from Holy Person's Power should far exceed its worth.

How could it possibly be like this now? And yet it falls short.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the silent Chen Nuo, the Golden-Winged Dapeng and the Peng Demon King both showed some concern.

Chen Nuo gently shook his head: "Nothing."

For this, at that moment, he had another guess.

Many treasures are naturally formed or earth-nurtured; even if postnatally refined, they are extremely costly in essence and blood.

By comparison, Holy Person's Power is merely the power of a Holy Person—available in any quantity desired.

Therefore, even if the power were greater, the merit it could be exchanged for would not be that high.

Chen Nuo nodded: "Yes, that should be it."

Feeling a bit of a loss, better not continue exchanging.

Chen Nuo thought to himself.

This Holy Person's Power can be used to attend to other matters.

Withdrawing his mind, Chen Nuo looked at the relatively empty hall and said: "That's us coming to life."

As Chen Nuo's words fell, a soft and beautiful voice responded in kind.

The voice came from a food delivery machine on the counter.

This food delivery machine has a more slender design, its rear casing entirely blue.

It is precisely the one Chen Nuo specially ordered from the system, and the transmission stone on it is the mother stone of all other food delivery machines' transmission stones.

The sound of all food delivery machines will be transmitted here,

and the transmission mother stone can also distinguish each child stone, enabling individual transmission and sound conduction.

And this, precisely, is the sound of Nüwa placing her order.

After listening, Chen Nuo critiqued with appreciation in his heart.

Is this the voice of Nüwa? It's quite pleasant to hear, though I don't know what she looks like, Chen Nuo thought to himself.

"Boss, who is this person?"

The Peng Demon King's eyes lit up and he eagerly opened his mouth.

Finally someone started ordering dishes—indeed, things are getting lively now!

"Wasn't it said at the beginning? In the Wahuang Palace."

Chen Nuo casually said, stood up from the counter, and prepared to go to the back kitchen to start cooking.

Tai Bai Jin Xing and Bai Hua Xian Zi were both sent away by him; I estimate it won't take too long, and their orders will come out too.

"That's not right, this voice doesn't sound like that."

The Golden-Winged Dapeng frowned and retorted.

The one who came first had a lively voice, but this one, although equally pleasant, is of two completely different styles.

-Moreover, just listening to this voice makes me feel an inexplicable urge to worship.

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, and said: "Who told you it was that earlier one?"

"She's a proxy buyer, the real master is the Lady—use your brain."

Lady? Wahuang Palace? The Golden-Winged Dapeng and the Peng Demon King simultaneously thought of this in their hearts, then their pupils shivered sharply, and they both shuddered.

Female... Female Nüwa Saint!

"Boss, does this Saint also come to our Chaos Residence to spend?"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng shrank his neck and probed.

This is too strong, right!

With prior experience, the Peng Demon King quickly calmed his mind.

Hearing the Golden-Winged Dapeng's question, a hint of contempt appeared on his face.

"Look at your prospects—just a Saint scared you like this—is that really surprising?"

"Our Chaos Residence doesn't just entertain this one Saint; earlier, even the Heaven-Reaching Saint came by."

The Peng Demon King stood with hands behind his back, wearing an expression of frustrated disappointment.

"In Chaos Residence, what isn't possible? Didn't someone just come to buy things on behalf of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother? So learn to stay calm."

"Be like the boss."

The Golden-Winged Dapeng's mouth twitched; although shocked that the Heaven-Reaching Saint had come too, he still prioritized rebutting the Peng Demon King, speaking without mercy: "Well... your earlier performance wasn't exactly impressive either."

"Still embarrassed to say I?"

Watching the two oppose each other like needles, Chen Nuo felt a full head of black lines, a bit regretful—if I'd known these two were so incompatible, I wouldn't have taken in the Golden-Winged Dapeng.

As a result, now my shop is in chaos—chickens flying, dogs jumping—from yesterday until now I've been listening to their arguments, and each time they speak, they don't quiet down for long.

If outsiders keep seeing us like this, our Chaos Residence will lose all prestige!

"If you have the ability, channel your arguing energy into food delivery—don't forget, the one who performs best can earn a reward."

Frowning, Chen Nuo spoke up to stop them.
