Chapter 400

~7 min read 1,309 words

Sun Wukong sprinkled seasoning on the chicken wings, walked out, and handed them to Xuan Feng and Nüwa, "My master is currently taking a nap, you wait a moment."

After all, Nüwa is Nüwa, Sun Wukong was just momentarily angry; once his anger passed, he became a bit nicer to them again.

After all, in his heart, Nüwa is the only one worthy of his master.

"Fine, out of respect for your master, I won't argue with you."

Xuan Feng took two steps over to receive the chicken wings, "Then we'll wait here first; after your master wakes from his nap, we'll visit again."

Xuan Feng and Nüwa went outside together to wait.

A moment later, Chen Nuo came down from the upper floor; Sun Wukong was still processing orders. Chen Nuo saw Sun Wukong had been busy all morning and said sympathetically, "Didn't I tell you you could rest a bit? You've been cooking nonstop until now?"

"Master, you're up, it's fine. I, Old Grandson, have never taken a nap. Besides, this order will get processed whenever it gets processed; even if I just stand around, I have nothing to do, so cooking is better."

Seeing Chen Nuo wake up, Sun Wukong instantly became happy.

"You should balance work and rest. You never rest, and the food you make will suffer in flavor."

Chen Nuo said.

Sun Wukong laughed, "Master, don't worry, I won't let the food be affected in any way."

"You know I wasn't talking about that."

Chen Nuo originally just wanted his disciple to rest a bit, but unexpectedly, this monkey started getting stubborn.

"Don't worry, Master, I'm not tired."

Sun Wukong instantly turned into a simpleton upon touching Chen Nuo.

Seeing Chen Nuo heading toward the storehouse, Sun Wukong called out, "Master, that Nüwa has arrived; she's currently waiting outside."

Chen Nuo's motion paused, "Nüwa has come?"

As he spoke those words, he activated his sensing, and indeed could feel Nüwa and Xuan Feng sitting in the hall, so he turned around, "Alright, I know."

Nüwa and Xuan Feng had already finished eating the honey-glazed roasted chicken wings Sun Wukong had just given them.

Xuan Feng herself only kept one skewer, giving the rest to Nüwa; even all these chicken wings together weren't enough for Nüwa.

"Sun Wukong gave us four skewers, clearly intending for each of us to have two; why are you giving me your own?"

Xuan Feng declined, "Your Majesty, don't be polite with me; I know, even four skewers of such delicious roasted chicken wings aren't enough for one person, so you eat them all, don't worry about me."

Nüwa coldly snorted, "Oh, you also know that, so why didn't you give me all four skewers?"

Xuan Feng froze, looking at her single skewer of chicken wings with reluctance, biting her lower lip with a wronged expression as she handed her skewer to Nüwa, "Your Majesty, the chicken wings are for you to eat."

Nüwa laughed at Xuan Feng's reaction, "Hehe, you really gave them to me?"

Seeing Nüwa's smile, Xuan Feng froze again; the Majesty's smile truly is beautiful—before, she never smiled like this.

Since Chaos Residence opened, with more delicious food, even smiles have increased.

Treatment of oneself has also become much gentler than before; although before it wasn't bad, now it's even gentler.

"I've already handed them over, naturally they're for Your Majesty."

Nüwa took the chicken wings, bit into one; first came the unique aroma of cumin, biting open the cumin seeds released that unique cumin flavor instantly in her mouth.

Then came the honey's sweetness; this honey coated the chicken wings' exterior, after being roasted by flame, it had both the charred aroma from roasting the chicken wings and the sweetness of honey, making one unable to stop eating.

Xuan Feng watched wide-eyed as Nüwa ate several mouthfuls of chicken wings, her saliva nearly flowing; she turned her head away, swallowing the saliva secreted in her mouth.

Although she didn't get to eat any, just looking made it seem delicious; truly, it's my own fault for being lacking—even if I didn't give Nüwa any, I wouldn't blame myself, but I still gave them.

Nüwa, while eating, amusedly watched Xuan Feng's reaction; her reaction was as expected by Nüwa, always as adorable as ever.

Nüwa had already eaten one chicken wing, preparing to eat another when she saw Xuan Feng seeming to want to say something, opened her mouth but then closed it, swallowing what she wanted to say.

"I ask you, do you want to eat?"

Xuan Feng honestly nodded, then shook her head, "Your Majesty, please eat; although I'm a bit craving, I'm not hungry at all, all for you to eat."

Nüwa placed the two uneaten chicken wings in front of Xuan Feng,

"Here you go."

Xuan Feng wanted to take them, her hand already extended, then retracted, "I won't eat, I can still hold out; please eat quickly, Your Majesty, I'm about to lose control."

"So you mean you don't want to eat?"

Nüwa asked with a chuckle.

Xuan Feng gritted her teeth and nodded, "I don't want to eat; please eat quickly, Your Majesty."

"Alright, then I'll eat."

Nüwa took the chicken wings back, "This chicken wings' flavor is truly good—crispy outside, tender inside, and there's even juice inside; too bad, only I can eat it."

Hearing Nüwa's description, Xuan Feng's saliva nearly flowed; she simply turned her head deeper, even deciding that if Nüwa said another word, she'd cover her ears too.

"One skewer of chicken wings is indeed not enough."

Nüwa said while placing the skewer on the table.

With a clack, she then took out another skewer, "I'm starting to eat the second skewer of chicken wings now; truly a pity, Xuan Feng still can't have any."

Xuan Feng turned her head, "Your Majesty, just eat if you're going to eat; why keep tempting me?"

Nüwa wanted exactly this effect, so she again pushed the chicken wings toward Xuan Feng, "Want to eat?"

"Eat."

Xuan Feng could no longer hold back, took the chicken wings and began eating.

This chicken wing is truly delicious, just as Nüwa described—outer skin fragrant and crispy, even some thin-skinned parts have crispy skin.

The inner meat is tender to the extreme; one bite makes you unable to stop eating a second, until the whole skewer is finished, then immediately start devouring the second skewer.

As Xuan Feng was gnawing the last chicken wing of the second skewer, Chen Nuo walked in from outside.

Nüwa had just finished eating all of them, wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief, and Chen Nuo strode in with long legs.

"Nüwa's gracious presence, I came late."

Nüwa quickly stood up, gave a light cough, "When I came, I didn't even make an appointment with you beforehand; on the contrary, we were rude."

Fortune, this Shopkeeper Chen arrived at just the right time, Nüwa rejoiced in her heart.

She had just wiped her mouth clean when he arrived; if he had come a step later, whether seeing her gnawing on chicken wings or the look of her wiping her mouth, it would have been unsightly.

Fortunately, when Chen Nuo arrived, she had just finished these movements, not letting him see an indecorous scene.

"Are you here to eat dishes?"

Chen Nuo came carrying tea, walked before Nüwa, and poured two cups of tea.

"Poor hospitality, Wukong's side is busy until dizzy and feverish, letting you sit this long, yet not even serving tea."

Actually, master and servant had long complained about Sun Wukong not serving tea, but hearing it from Chen Nuo's mouth felt different.

Nüwa hurriedly waved her hand, "No problem, no problem, when we came in Sun Wukong was this busy yet still roasted chicken wings and sent them over, that is already very polite."
