Chapter 324

Tai Bai Jin Xing was startled by Haotian's sudden harsh attitude—just moments ago the Heavenly Emperor had been cheerful, and now he was like this? Rubbing his hands together, Tai Bai Jin Xing ultimately gave in to temptation over reason and forced a smile: "Uh, Your Majesty, could you also give Old Man Lao a portion?"

"Get lost"

"I already said earlier that when we compared, you weren't using your full strength!

You still don't believe me"

The Peng Demon King, who arrived first at the skies above Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, looked at the Golden-Winged Dapeng who had just caught up and smirked triumphantly.

"How about that? Even without using spatial abilities, I'm still faster than you"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng clenched his fists tightly—he was unwilling to accept it, but the fact remained: he couldn't match up, even if his cultivation surpassed the Peng Demon King's.

"Why?"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng was utterly puzzled and couldn't help but speak up: "We both have flight divine abilities, so why am I still losing?"

The Peng Demon King raised the corner of his mouth: "It's true that yours is also a flight divine ability, but it's not entirely that"

"What do you mean?"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng blinked slightly in confusion.

"Although your divine ability does grant speed enhancement, most of its power lies in other functional aspects"

"Meanwhile, my Heaven-Shaking Cloud Wings are focused solely on speed enhancement, allowing for stacking—so naturally you can't match me"

The Peng Demon King explained casually.

Now it made sense—the Golden-Winged Dapeng suddenly understood, no wonder he couldn't win.

"How about that? I already said the title of 'Supreme Speed of the Three Realms' belongs to us Kun-Pengs alone"

The Peng Demon King strode toward the Chaos Residence with steps that showed no regard for kin.

The Golden-Winged Dapeng said nothing, but his gaze grew even more resolute—until the very end, nothing is certain!

Once he awakens his second divine ability, if it's speed-based, he will surely turn defeat into victory!

This Employee of the Month is something he must obtain!

"Boss!

I'm back"

The Peng Demon King shoved the door open with one hand.

Having already tidied everything up, Chen Nuo, sitting in a chair, casually remarked: "Why didn't you just use your divine ability to come back directly?"

Glancing at the Golden-Winged Dapeng following behind, the Peng Demon King chuckled smugly: "This isn't him insisting on a fair match against me, is it?"

"Even without using the Yu Shan divine ability, he still can't beat me"

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, looking at the two demons: "Today, the one who performed best was Xiao Peng—any objections?"

"No, no"

The Peng Demon King beamed with satisfaction.

The Peng Demon King being like this is quite normal.

What made Chen Nuo slightly surprised was that the Golden-Winged Dapeng actually had no objections either.

After a moment of thought, Chen Nuo asked again: "Have all deliveries been made? Any issues?"

The Peng Demon King shook his head repeatedly, chuckling: "All delivered—the Heavenly Court is just that place, how could there be any problems?"

After speaking, the Peng Demon King even took out the Passing Token and waved it, saying: "That Tai Bai Jin Xing also gave us a Heavenly Court Passing Token, saying it was from the Jade Emperor"

Unexpectedly, Haotian's consideration was actually quite thorough.

Chen Nuo nodded thoughtfully—both the Golden-Winged Dapeng and the Peng Demon King are of the Demon Race, and wanting to directly enter the Heavenly Court is indeed difficult.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race have deep-seated grudges; explaining it would likely fall on deaf ears.

Even if they had the strength to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, there's no need to force their way in—after all, it's just a food delivery!

One token from Haotian directly and perfectly solved this problem.

"Today's food delivery—did anything go wrong?"

Chen Nuo asked casually.

After all, they're both new on the job, so some oversight is still needed.

The Golden-Winged Dapeng furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, stepped forward, and replied: "Other than that, nothing's wrong—just that the food lacked labels, so we got them mixed up"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo's face darkened with black lines.

"I already divided them—Xiao Peng, you have Haotian and Tai Bai's orders; Golden Peng, you have Yaochi and Baihua's"

Since they were originally purchasing on behalf of others, Chen Nuo simply handed them out that way.

"But Boss, you didn't tell us either"

The Golden-Winged Dapeng responded helplessly.

Chen Nuo: "..."

Blame him—he got busy and forgot.

Seeing Chen Nuo's expression wasn't good, the Peng King beside him quickly added: "But Tai Bai Jin Xing did recognize them"

"Then it's fine"

Chen Nuo exhaled in relief.

Today, for some reason, Haotian and Yaochi ordered the same thing—both had Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken, though Yaochi's portion included an extra bowl of Peach Blossom Porridge.

He had thought he'd mixed them up, but phew—good thing, unexpected that Tai Bai Jin Xing this old man was actually reliable at the crucial moment.

Heavenly Palace, Yao Tai.

Yaochi furrowed her brow slightly, gazing at the items in the delivery packaging—the golden Fragrant Crispy Fried Chicken in the meal box could not bring a smile to her face at this moment.

"Huh?"

Yaochi looked back and forth several times, finally letting out a soft hum.

"What's wrong, Sanniang?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi hurriedly asked with concern.

"I clearly ordered one portion of peach blossom porridge, why isn't it here?"

The voice from Yaochi carried a hint of doubt; she remembered it especially clearly, it couldn't be wrong!

"Could it be that Chen the shopkeeper forgot to take it?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi pondered for a moment in her heart, then tentatively spoke.

"Impossible"

Before Bai Hua Xian Zi's words had even faded, Yaochi directly denied them.

"As a cultivator, how could one's memory possibly be poor?"

"Then, could it be that you took the wrong one?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi recalled a previous scene, muttering to herself.

But this sentence was not ignored by Yaochi; her gaze tightened, and she said coldly: "What did you just say?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi was startled by Yaochi's attitude, her delicate face turned pale, and she stammered: "Reporting to Sanniang, just now this servant went to take out the delivery, and discovered Tai Bai Jin Xing was also there, delivering for the Heavenly Emperor"

"Chen the shopkeeper's two delivery personnel came together, and there was no marking on the delivery packaging, so we didn't know which was Sanniang's and which was the Heavenly Emperor's"

Yaochi leaned against the treasure seat, supporting one cheek with one hand: "How was it distinguished then?"

Seeing that Sanniang's aura had somewhat calmed, Bai Hua Xian Zi was no longer as palpitated with fear as before.

After organizing her words, she spoke again: "It was only later that Tai Bai Jin Xing said he knew what dish the Heavenly Emperor had ordered, then opened a package to look, and it just happened to be"

"He took that package and left; this servant thought it must be either the Heavenly Emperor's or Sanniang's, so took the other one"

Bai Hua Xian Zi recounted everything in detail, trying to make herself appear innocent.

Moreover, it was originally like that; she knew nothing at all.

Another thought murmured in Yaochi's heart, followed by a strong premonition arising.

"Did you see clearly what Haotian ordered?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi immediately shook her head.

"No, but..."

In her beautiful eyes, a hint of contemplation flashed: "This servant remembers Tai Bai Jin Xing seeming to have said the Heavenly Emperor ordered fried chicken"

Fried chicken!

Yaochi suddenly sat upright, her beautiful face bearing a solemn expression.

Fried chicken, fragrant crispy fried chicken!

The item Haotian this buyer ordered happened to be the same as hers; in an instant, a thought arose in Yaochi's heart.

This Tai Bai Jin Xing must have taken his own portion as Haotian's, after all, they both ordered fragrant crispy fried chicken!

Thinking of this, Yaochi could no longer sit still, and stood up all at once.

"Sanniang, what is this?"

Bai Hua Xian Zi was somewhat speechless; Sanniang's sudden startle—what was she going to do? And Yaochi, feeling urgent, had no time to explain.

"Bai Hua, you go back first"

Yaochi only managed to say one sentence before she first instantaneously left Yao Tai.

Leaving Bai Hua Xian Zi with a speechless face, dazed in place.
