Chapter 399

"Boss, you didn't say that even if I don't go, they'll use other methods to force me to go, did you?"

Tianpeng asked.

"They will use other methods, but if you truly don't want to go, I also have a way to stop you from going; in the end, whether you go or not still depends on you."

"My master has already made it clear enough, hasn't he?"

Sun Wukong said, "Now tell me your decision—go or not go?"

Tianpeng almost without hesitation voiced his thought: "I don't want to go."

Chen Nuo nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"May I ask, what method will you use?"

Tianpeng just recovered from a shock; although he only said he wouldn't go, his heart still felt some shock about this matter.

Was he really selected for the Journey to the West team? With so many excellent people, why would the Buddha still choose him?

"You don't need to know the method; I'm assigning you and Sun Wukong to open a shop in the Heavenly Court. Remember, don't leave Wukong, and even if there's urgent business, be sure to report to Sun Wukong first."

Chen Nuo instructed Tianpeng on the matters.

"Okay, I understand. I definitely won't leave Monkey Brother's side even half a step."

Tianpeng nodded: "Then, Manager Chen, is there anything else?"

"No."

"Then I'll take my leave first. This matter has hit me too hard; I need to go back and digest it."

Tianpeng stood up.

Sun Wukong snorted: "I see you're not going to digest a bit—you're just going to show off."

Tianpeng hehe-laughed twice: "Still, Monkey Brother, you understand me."

"You'd better digest it properly, but I tell you, since you've already made this decision, you can't regret it later. When the time comes, even if you regret it, we won't do anything for you anymore."

Sun Wukong said this with deep sincerity.

"Rest assured, Monkey Brother. Although becoming a Buddha would be good for me, in my heart, saying I'm a partner at Chaos Residence carries more weight than becoming a Buddha."

Tianpeng answered with a hehe-laugh.

"Not just in your heart—it was originally like that."

Sun Wukong snorted again.

"Exactly, exactly, exactly. Monkey Brother, you're right—I didn't think too much."

Tianpeng hehe-laughed twice, then bowed with Chen Nuo and left.

During the time Sun Wukong returned, Chaos Residence remained busy.

Because of Sun Wukong's performance at the Buddhist Dharma Feast, plus a dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, two of the Eight Disciples of Buddhism broke their precepts, and two others nearly did.

This made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Sun Wukong from Chaos Residence instantly famous across the Four Seas, and many people came to Chaos Residence for a meal.

Chen Nuo prepares this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with specific rules—not just anyone who comes gets it served; moreover, the price of this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not ordinary. Those who can't afford Chef Chen Nuo's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall can only come for Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong has a bad temper; sometimes cooking too much makes him angry, and he even lashes out at diners who come to find him, but this doesn't stop people from eating his food.

Everyone also deeply understands one truth: that capable people all have tempers.

The worse Sun Wukong's temper gets, the more people come to eat with him, and over time it became a cycle.

It's also because Sun Wukong pities his own master; as long as he can handle the incoming diners, he lets them all be taken care of by his master.

Although the customers coming to Chaos Residence for meals only increase, not decrease, Chen Nuo remains as leisurely as before.

Nüwa, ever since she drank milk tea last time, has been waiting for milk tea to be put on sale, waiting a long time, but never got it; finally, she couldn't hold back and came to Chaos Residence.

Sun Wukong was sweating profusely stir-frying in the kitchen; he looked up and, from the small window of the kitchen, saw the splendidly dressed Nüwa and Xuan Feng, and said, "Yo, what wind blew you here? How did it blow you over?"

"Why don't you say it's because your Sun Monkey's stir-fried dishes are too fragrant, the aroma drove me here?"

Sun Wukong looked at Nüwa with a face full of surprise. Normally, this Nüwa is proud and haughty; hearing him say such words, she should definitely walk past without a word. What nerve did he hit, that she actually responded to his words?

"Where's your master?"

Nüwa looked around, searching for Chen Nuo's figure: "I heard these past few days Chaos Residence has been noisy and bustling; your master should also be swamped, right?"

Sun Wukong then understood: originally, this Nüwa came for his master.

Moreover, his master is so talented and excellent that even an ancient goddess would have to bow before his master's cooking skills.

"The lady is asking you a question, you monkey—why aren't you speaking?"

Seeing Sun Wukong still not speaking, Xuan Feng spoke up to ask him.

At this moment, Sun Wukong had already stir-fried dishes all morning; although the kitchen has magical power and won't get hot, being busy this long inevitably makes him tired, and when tired he easily becomes irritable.

Moreover, his nature is originally of this irritable type; hearing Xuan Feng's impolite words,

Sun Wukong's anger flared up instantly: "Don't know—if you want to find my master, go find him yourself. Why ask me? I'm busy now—don't talk to me."

"Hey, what's wrong with you, monkey? Nüwa Lady has graced us with her presence; you don't even need to rush to greet her, but you actually say such impolite things—what's wrong with you?"

Xuan Feng was dissatisfied with Sun Wukong's attitude and stepped forward to argue with him.

Sun Wukong waved the shovel in his hand, and actually trapped Xuan Feng in place: "I'm tired now, you bird insist on talking to me—aren't you just asking for a scolding?"

"You, you reckless monkey, you let me go quickly, or I'll make you look bad."

Xuan Feng said this while displaying her divine powers.

Blazing flames burned from her wings outward; the place where Xuan Feng stood instantly heated up. Fortunately, standing beside her was Nüwa, not someone else; otherwise, this fire would surely have turned her to ash.

Sun Wukong had no reaction, and even the room he was in showed no difference from before.

After Sun Wukong finished stir-frying this plate of dishes, he somehow produced a string of good chicken wings from nowhere, and roasted them toward Xuan Feng.

This temperature was just right—the surface of the chicken wings only had a thin layer of oil, and they were roasted to fragrant crispness.

The color also gradually turned from white to golden; Sun Wukong also took out honey, brushed it on the chicken wings, and the wings instantly became filled with tempting aroma.

"Can the heat be turned up a bit more?"

Sun Wukong said lightly.

These words sounded especially harsh in Xuan Feng's ears, and more importantly, her awakened Divine Communication had no effect on Sun Wukong at all, even surprising Nüwa.

"I only saw you stir-frying, never expecting your cultivation to be this profound, not even able to handle Xuan Feng's Fiery Flame."

Sun Wukong sneered, "It's only natural, and look at how her Divine Communication was awakened, still wanting to harm the people of Chaos Residence—you're being ungrateful and unjust."

Nüwa also felt Xuan Feng's actions were wrong, and upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, quickly used her Dharma to recall Xuan Feng's Fiery Flame, "Alright, Xuan Feng, stop causing trouble."

Xuan Feng felt somewhat wronged, "Mother, it's clearly this Sun Wukong causing trouble without reason, why are you only blaming me?"

"Enough, if you keep causing trouble, go back and be punished with house arrest."

Nüwa said sternly, "This is Chaos Residence, not our Manor, your temper needs to be restrained."

Hearing Nüwa say this, Xuan Feng pressed her lips together and stopped speaking.
