Chapter 323

~7 min read 1,365 words

This is part of my duty.

The Dapeng Golden-Winged and the Peng Demon King waved their hands, speaking frankly.

To them, this is more than just duty—it's a major matter concerning their Employee of the Month evaluation.

Immortals and demons were oddly harmonious, leaving Mo Lishou beside them stunned—when did these demons become so peaceful? "This is the Passing Token bestowed by His Majesty; please accept it, both of you."

Tai Bai Jin Xing chuckled, handing over the Divine Edict Token given by Haotian to the two demons.

"With this, as long as you do not endanger the Heavenly Court, you will face no obstruction within it."

Tai Bai Jin Xing gave a general explanation.

Passing Token? A flicker of novelty flashed in the two demons' eyes—unexpected that the Heavenly Court even had such a thing.

"Then I shall accept it."

The Peng Demon King accepted without overthinking.

He'll likely be delivering takeout everywhere later; the Heavenly Court, as a major gathering place for immortals, will surely see him often, and this token makes things much more convenient.

The Dapeng Golden-Winged agreed.

"So the old man is leaving?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing probed.

He's still waiting to return and report.

"Come on, let's go."

The Peng Demon King smiled, patting Tai Bai Jin Xing's shoulder: "Remember to pick me next time you order takeout."

"Of course, of course."

Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded with a beaming face.

Upon hearing this, the Dapeng Golden-Winged became displeased.

"Naturally, I should be chosen for Huang Tuan takeout."

The Dapeng Golden-Winged pointed to his own clothes.

"Nonsense—I'm the Er Le Mei You, the finest choice."

The Peng Demon King showed no weakness.

The two demons began spraying insults at each other right at the Nantianmen.

Since Haotian established the Heavenly Court, such a scene has never occurred.

"You two possess vast divine powers—very good, very good."

Tai Bai Jin Xing's eyelids twitched; he hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Don't let this cause a fight right at the Nantianmen later!"

These two are great demon kings—no few of them could be stopped.

Tai Bai Jin Xing chuckled awkwardly: "The takeout delivery person isn't even up to the old man to decide—only Shopkeeper Chen has the final say."

Unable to persuade, better to change the subject.

Look, this tactic really works—the two demons stopped arguing, pointless as it is!

Better to return early to the Chaos Residence—high efficiency, and earn loyalty points in Shopkeeper Chen's heart.

"If you have the ability, don't use your strange divine powers—let's compete with normal flight divine ability!

See who returns first!

Dare or not?"

The Dapeng Golden-Winged emphasized the last three words, face brimming with provocation.

"Afraid of you?"

The Peng Demon King was equally fearless.

At the same moment, the two demons assumed their true forms and sped toward the Chaos Residence.

"Heavenly King, the old man still needs to report to His Majesty—I'll take my leave now."

The token gone, Tai Bai Jin Xing's hands now held two packages.

Mo Lishou snapped back: "Old immortal, please do as you wish."

Bai Hua Xian Zi nodded at Mo Lishou, securing her own package.

The two immortals then departed to report.

"Takeout?"

Mo Lishou muttered alone, then shook his head, utterly bewildered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Before even entering the Great Hall, Tai Bai Jin Xing's voice rang out.

Approaching, Tai Bai Jin Xing presented Haotian's package: "Your takeout, Your Majesty, has been retrieved by your humble servant."

Haotian immediately stopped reviewing imperial edicts, nodding: "Unexpected—this speed is quite fast."

He thought it would take a while longer.

Tai Bai Jin Xing agreed: "Indeed, Shopkeeper Chen's delivery staff are all Dapeng Bird Clan demon kings—naturally swift."

"That's settled."

Haotian also endorsed Tai Bai Jin Xing's view.

Gazing at the large package before him, even without seeing inside, Haotian felt his stomach leap with anticipation.

Eating Shopkeeper Chen's food is truly a great enjoyment!

Unable to wait, Haotian untied the pouch, and Tai Bai Jin Xing casually fastened the button.

Upon sight, sure enough—Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken!

Through the semi-transparent packaging, he could clearly see chunks of tempting fried chicken in the meal box.

Haotian unconsciously swallowed his saliva, took out the fried chicken, did not eat it directly, but continued to pull out other items from his pouch.

Peach Blossom Brew, check!

Soda water and freshly squeezed juice, check!

All the items he ordered were complete; Haotian was about to put the pouch aside, but discovered this item still had weight, and it was also a meal box.

He picked it up, took a close look, but it was a box of porridge?!

Looking at the item in his hand, Haotian was stunned—he hadn't even ordered this!

Furrowing his brow,

He took out the food delivery device, opened the meal box's packaging, and Haotian compared it with the image on the recording stone; the porridge before him was identical to the Peach Blossom Porridge.

What is this situation? "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing stepped forward, somewhat puzzled, Your Majesty, why are you silent with a dazed expression for two breaths? Haotian shook his head, clicked his tongue in amazement, and said: "I didn't order this Peach Blossom Porridge either—why do I have an extra portion here?"

"Could it be that Chen the shopkeeper has started giving away porridge for free now?"

Free?!

As soon as Haotian finished speaking, Tai Bai Jin Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tai Bai Jin Xing hurriedly tore open his own food delivery packaging, rummaging through it repeatedly.

But it was still just what he had ordered, nothing missing.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Tai Bai Jin Xing murmured: "Why don't I have any here?"

I thought I could still get a free dish, but why does Your Majesty have it and I don't—this is truly unfair!

"Could it be that Chen the shopkeeper, being busy, accidentally packed an extra portion for Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Tai Bai Jin Xing had no Peach Blossom Porridge, Haotian instantly felt a sense of superiority, lifted his chin slightly, and snapped: "What do you mean by getting it wrong?"

"It's because you don't have a membership!

Just look at your spending level—you still expect Chen the shopkeeper to give you discounts?"

Haotian said somewhat proudly.

Tai Bai is usually stingy; when it comes to Chen the shopkeeper's dishes being free, he absolutely refuses to spend money. In total, at Chaos Residence, he has never personally spent more than twice—how dare he think of such a good thing? "Just look at Your Majesty—every time he spends, it's nearly maxed out. This is the difference."

"That's why Chen the shopkeeper gives him preferential treatment."

Haotian was in a good mood. What is prestige? This is it!

Tai Bai Jin Xing, upon hearing this, couldn't help but retort in his heart: If he could be that wealthy, he'd definitely spend lavishly every day!

Over these tens of millions of years, he hasn't saved up much wealth—how could he bear to spend so much all at once? His heart thinks so, but his mouth still habitually flatters: "Your Majesty, your magnanimity is vast beyond measure, yet you are a major customer of Chaos Residence!"

"Receiving Chen the shopkeeper's preferential treatment is entirely deserved."

"Hahaha"

Haotian burst into loud laughter.

This flattery hit the mark in Haotian's heart—now the person he respects most is Chen Nuo.

Being praised means Chaos Residence is especially important—how could he not like it? Pointing at Tai Bai Jin Xing, Haotian teased and scolded: "You, you, always flattering and bootlicking!"

Tai Bai Jin Xing was exposed but felt not the slightest embarrassment—after so many years of struggling in the Heavenly Court, his skin has long been thick.

Hehehe laughed: "Wèichén, this is merely speaking the truth—it's stuck in my heart, I can't hold back, it's purely spontaneous."

Haotian's smile grew even wider, and he said nothing more.

He simply opened the sealed meal box of Peach Blossom Porridge slowly and deliberately.

Tai Bai Jin Xing couldn't hold back and leaned his head over as well.

Haotian glared, his large hand vaguely covering the meal box: "What are you doing?"
