Chapter 326: Tai Bai Regrets, the Dharma Banquet Is Held
Good, good!
Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing she didn't rashly say she wanted everything, otherwise Haotian might have broken free of the divine communication!
The allure of this shopkeeper's dishes is too strong!
After sighing, Yaochi stepped forward gracefully and, without another word, directly picked up the box of fragrant crispy fried chicken.
She spoke softly: "I only need this one; the rest is not needed."
"Good."
Haotian nodded, and the guilt in his heart lessened somewhat.
After Yaochi left, Haotian also freed himself from the influence of the divine communication, his mind went blank for a moment, and then memories slowly surfaced.
"Damn it"
Haotian couldn't help but blurt out a curse, his face showing indignation, Yaochi actually used divine communication to trap him again!
And she even trapped his fragrant crispy fried chicken!
This divine communication is too disgusting!
Haotian wished he could slam the table and jump up immediately to go snatch back his ordered treasure fried chicken, but in the end he still restrained himself.
After all, he is in the wrong about this matter!
Regardless of whether it was due to the influence of the divine communication, after all, those were words he Haotian personally promised.
As the Jade Emperor, his golden words and jade speech absolutely cannot be regretted!
Alas, Haotian couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling sorrowful for autumn over his fragrant crispy fried chicken, just gone like that!
"Your Majesty, mourn and adapt to change"
Tai Bai Jin Xing said with concern.
After all, that's the Empress!
Can't afford to provoke her!
However, Tai Bai Jin Xing's subconscious fawning concern instantly drew Haotian's attention.
"Obviously you also ate quite a bit, why only target me?"
Haotian looked at Tai Bai Jin Xing with a displeased expression.
Upon hearing this, Tai Bai Jin Xing trembled, gave a dry laugh, and said: "Your Majesty, this old man may be too insignificant, the Empress does not bother to quibble, adults have broad minds."
Tai Bai Jin Xing said while feeling secretly fortunate, fortunately the Empress also had no business with him, otherwise, like Your Majesty, he would have to cry himself to death!
"Your Majesty, although the fried chicken is gone, isn't there still wine?"
Your Majesty has both wine and soda water, enough to drink, Tai Bai Jin Xing tried to comfort with a sentence.
Although that's what was said, but Haotian only grew angrier the more he thought, no way!
Haotian's heart hardened, he secretly made a decision, looking at Tai Bai Jin Xing and said: "You also drank half of the peach blossom porridge, you can't escape responsibility"
"You haven't even started eating what you ordered, then let's do this, give me what you ordered, consider it your compensation, anyway the money is also spent by me"
Upon these words, Tai Bai Jin Xing's face immediately fell.
"Your Majesty, don't"
Tai Bai Jin Xing let out a cry of grief, hurriedly begged for mercy, he had finally managed to eat a meal cooked by the shopkeeper!
"Your Majesty, this is my staple food, without it, what am I to eat?"
Tai Bai Jin Xing bowed his head to the ground, utterly pitiable.
"I don't want all of your things, you didn't also order wine and soda water?"
"These should be enough for you to drink"
Haotian showed no concern, directly using the other's method against them.
Moreover, even if there's nothing to eat, what of it? Can starving for one or two meals kill? Mortals can be fine, let alone a celestial like Tai Bai Jin Xing: "..."
This cheap mouth, saying that to Your Majesty, what for? Now it's fine, lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot.
Tai Bai Jin Xing's face was full of struggle, he dare not defy Your Majesty's order, but just handing it over like this would also make him suffer terribly.
For this, Haotian also did not use coercive orders, but instead gave a slight smile and softly said: "Give me some face..."
Inside Chaos Dwelling, Chen Nuo leaned by the window, gazing at the starry night sky on the horizon, thinking deeply.
"Shopkeeper, you've been sitting here for a long time, what's wrong?"
After finishing cleaning up the dinner bowls and chopsticks, Peng Demon King walked out from the back kitchen, seeing Chen Nuo still like this, he couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, who was wiping tables and chairs inside the room, also looked over, his eyes showing a bit of curiosity.
"Nothing much"
Chen Nuo gently shook his head, looking at the two demons.
As if he had thought of something, Chen Nuo took out two transmission stones, divine power drawing them to fly separately toward the two demons.
"These transmission stones, you hold them, if any problem arises during food delivery, use this to contact me anytime"
Chen Nuo spoke softly.
Just like today's situation, fortunately Tai Bai Jin Xing distinguished it, otherwise wouldn't it be their Chaos Dwelling's mistake? "Understood, shopkeeper"
Chen Nuo waved his hand: "Alright, nothing else, you all go back to your rooms to cultivate"
Work is work, he also won't completely deprive the two demons of their cultivation time.
"Yes"
After sending off the two demons, Chen Nuo turned his gaze back to the starry sky, Wukong will be going to the Buddhist Sect tomorrow, right!
Chen Nuo thought to himself.
The Buddhist Sect's intentions, Chen Nuo understands all too well, nothing more than wanting to continue the westward journey, finding pretexts to lure Wukong forward, then carry out suppression.
However, even until the end he did not tell Wukong the spiritual truth.
For the Buddhist Sect, this was an opportunity for Journey to the West to smoothly get on track, but for Wukong, was this not also a stage to prove himself? To cower at the first setback — that is not what he hoped for.
Rather be the Saint Equal to Heaven, than the Fighting Victory Buddha.
Today's Wukong is not arrogant, but that does not mean he lacks pride in his heart; for the Buddhist Sect to want to suppress Wukong is no different from dreaming!
Wukong's power level is far from as simple as the cultivation realm reveals; he possesses eleven divine powers, all of them extremely potent — even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might not be able to stump him.
Besides, the backup he left for Wukong is also very safe; retreating peacefully is no problem.
Thinking to here, Chen Nuo's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, his gaze deep.
Now due to the restaurant's expansion, his invincible range has also become larger, basically able to cover a large part of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain — fundamentally not fearing anything in the slightest.
Of course, courtesy demands reciprocity; the Buddhist Sect schemes against the Monkey, so how could he not have prepared a grand gift for the Buddhist Sect? When the Buddhist Dharma Feast convenes is when the new dish launches; he wants to see just how much composure these people have. Wanshou Mountain, Five Zhuang Guan.
A woman draped in a white gauze precious crown held the Pure Jade Vase in one hand and lightly knocked twice on the Daoist temple's red vermilion gate with the other.
Divine Palace Time Passage.
"Who is it"
From behind the imperial kitchen wall came a clear, childish voice.
That woman performed a Buddhist salutation and said softly: "Almsgiving Monk Guanyin, entrusted by the Buddha Ancestor, requests an audience with Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi"
"Master previously said he is in seclusion, seeing no one"
The voice behind the door refused without hesitation — these were Master's exact words.
Heard words, Guanyin's originally kind-faced expression stiffened, and a surge of soul resentment arose in her heart — Zhenyuanzi, as a Quasi-Sage Great Adept, how could he possibly not have sensed her arrival? Such words clearly mean he does not wish to see her.
However, years of good breath cultivation kept her from revealing anything.
"Then may I trouble you to pass on a message for Almsgiving Monk: the Buddhist Dharma Feast will formally open tomorrow; Almsgiving Monk represents the Buddhist Sect in inviting Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi to grace Ling Mountain and attend the divine banquet — hoping you will grant face"
Guanyin still spoke in gentle tones.
Silence for a while.
"That works then"
The voice behind the door sounded again.
"Almsgiving Monk takes leave"
Guanyin performed another Buddhist salutation toward the red vermilion gate, but behind the door there was still no movement.
Waited several breaths, yet it remained so.
A trace of indignation flashed across Guanyin's face; she turned around and hurriedly departed.
