Just like that

He had thought of this when he was making milk tea before—just having milk tea wasn't enough; he needed a cup like modern ones for milk tea, both portable and easy to drink from.

The reason milk tea became popular in modern times is because you can hold it and drink it while walking around; these immortals always use fancy, elaborate utensils, so of course they can't experience this kind of joy.

"Can I drink it like this?"

Nüwa took the cup, thinking she might need to drink from the straw, but she wasn't entirely sure, afraid she might embarrass herself if she got it wrong.

"Yes, just like that"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and still decided to show her through practice.

With a sweep of his long arm, Chen Nuo took out another cup of milk tea and a straw from his space, just as he had taught Nüwa earlier—he threaded the straw through the seal, then brought it to his lips and sucked.

Nüwa imitated him, placing the straw at her lips and sucking.

The smooth milk tea went straight into her mouth; Nüwa froze for a moment, hadn't even tasted the flavor before swallowing it down, "Is this milk tea?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Nüwa's reaction was a bit strange, so Chen Nuo glanced at her twice, then closed his divine sense; at this moment he didn't know what Nüwa was thinking in her heart, assuming she didn't like drinking it—could that be? How could a woman refuse milk tea?

Nüwa wasn't finding it unpleasant to drink; on the contrary, it was simply too delicious!

What first entered her mouth was sweetness and the silky texture of the milk tea, like clouds drifting past the tip of her tongue.

After the milk tea went down, the tea aroma came back up—the unique mellow fragrance and slight astringency of black tea, now paired with the silky smoothness of milk, making her entire mouth feel as if it were swaying.

Previously, she thought peach blossom brew and peach juice were already the most delicious things in this world; she hadn't expected this milk tea to be this delicious too.

After swallowing that mouthful of milk tea, Nüwa immediately took several more sips, then her face returned to the aloof expression she had always maintained.

Answering Chen Nuo, "Nothing much, this milk tea is delicious, the cup is also special—how is it made? Is it paper?"

"Yes, it's paper"

Chen Nuo answered.

Nüwa nodded; this milk tea was so delicious she really didn't want to stop, so while her mouth was still drinking the milk tea, her eyes looked toward Chen Nuo, signaling him to continue speaking.

Seeing Nüwa's expression, Chen Nuo knew this milk tea had absolutely captivated her; he didn't expose the truth and began to explain to her.

"Just coat paper with a layer of beeswax to make it waterproof, then shape the wax-coated paper into a cup—very simple."

Actually, Chen Nuo had originally planned to use plastic, after all, compared to paper, plastic might be a bit better; even if paper had a layer of beeswax, over time it would still easily get waterlogged and blister, whereas plastic wouldn't—even if left in water for a long time, there would be no problem.

Modern milk tea shops that use paper cups also have a layer of edible plastic film inside, precisely to prevent water leakage; of course, spraying materials isn't bad either, but current technology is limited—since those materials haven't been developed yet, for now they can only use paper with beeswax as a substitute.

"Ah, that's how it is"

Nüwa had by now finished all the milk tea; just earlier, while Chen Nuo was speaking, she had secretly let out a belch, though Chen Nuo hadn't noticed.

"So am I the first to taste your Wudao Milk Tea?"

Not knowing what was going on, Nüwa suddenly really wanted to hear a definite answer from Chen Nuo's mouth; her mind also recalled what Sun Wukong had said earlier about the master's wife, and she didn't know why—how could she possibly be attracted to a youngster not even a fraction of her age?

Nüwa was indeed the first person to drink Wudao Milk Tea.

Chen Nuo also had no intention of hiding it, and besides, there was nothing to hide, so he answered truthfully: "Yes, after all, this milk tea was only just completed in these few days—what do you think of this milk tea?"

"I think it's especially good"

Nüwa replied hurriedly.

Having received an affirmative answer, Nüwa was now especially excited, but then she thought to herself again—she shouldn't be excited, after all, as an Ancient God, such treatment was deserved; so she coughed twice and continued answering: "This milk tea has a rich mouthfeel, tea and milk aromas overflowing, plus your Chaos Residence reputation already spread—it will definitely achieve excellent sales."

Chen Nuo was still fairly confident in his skills; moreover, this wasn't blind confidence, given the sales of those previous drinks,

and the rise of so many modern milk tea shops responding in kind—this milk tea's sales can only be higher, not lower.

Nüwa looked at the milk tea in Chen Nuo's hands with some longing; having just eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and drunk an entire cup of milk tea, she was somewhat full.

But merely being full wasn't enough—she hadn't had enough milk tea, and she didn't know when this milk tea would be available; when it is, she definitely wants to buy ten, a hundred cups and stock up.

"When do you plan to launch your Wudao Milk Tea?"

Nüwa asked lightly, but inwardly she was calculating—once the milk tea launches, she must make sure Xuan Feng grabs it the moment it goes on sale.

"Soon"

Chen Nuo answered, "Just these two days; I thought this milk tea is easy to make, preparing to open a shop"

"Open a shop?"

Nüwa was somewhat surprised, "You're not already running a shop? And if you open a shop, how can you alone manage both sides? By then, will the milk tea you sell be the same as now?"

Nüwa regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth—really, how could her mouth be so quick? If Chen Nuo got angry because of her harsh words...

What should she do? But the words were already spoken, couldn't be taken back—she could only watch Chen Nuo's reaction.

Chen Nuo didn't feel Nüwa's words were offensive; what she said actually made some sense, only this milk tea differs from cooking—it only needs dosage and proportion; otherwise, with so many modern chain drink shops, they wouldn't need to open at all; later, he could just spend a bit more time, hire a few more hands.

"Thank you for your consideration; I have my own plans"

Nüwa looked at Chen Nuo's reaction and couldn't see any problem; only his speech seemed a bit less—could he really be angry? If he truly were angry, how would she get along with him in the future? Would he still buy her milk tea? Chen Nuo had no idea his single sentence would trigger such a wave of speculation from the other side; but the system on that side had already begun notifying him—if both sides spoke at once, it would be noisy for him, so he could only end the conversation with Nüwa for now.

"Ding!

Three immortals have already awakened divine abilities—Xuan Feng awakened the Fire Blaze Divine Ability, Yaochi awakened the Reversal Divine Ability, Bai Hua Xian Zi awakened the Fallen Flowers Defeated Leaves Divine Ability—Host, synchronize?"

Xuan Feng's Fire Blaze Divine Ability, under the support of magical power, can not only raise the surrounding temperature but also turn everything around him into his weapons; objects become scorching hot beyond compare yet still retain their original form.

This divine ability is indeed quite good for combat; for Chen Nuo, when stir-frying, he can use this ability to control the heat—also not bad as an ability, so he told the system: "Yes, keep it"

Then came another "Ding"

sound, and then it began introducing Yaochi's ability—Yaochi's Reversal Divine Ability allows designated objects or time events to be returned to any moment she wishes to return to.
