Chapter 42

"Finally done with the wine, truly refreshing!" Chen Nuo walked out of the shop door, stretched his waist, and now the scope of Chaos Residence was no longer just indoors; as his cultivation improved, his territory had expanded considerably.

"They say an immortal descended to the mortal world, but why haven't I seen a single one?" Chen Nuo idly thought, the only female here was Yang Chan, yet she lived in Guanjiangkou, truly in the mortal realm!

"Huh? What is this?"

Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes, gazing at the purple flowing light falling toward Fangcun Mountain.

"Is this a meteor? No, this world shouldn't have meteors, could it really be an immortal descending to the mortal world?"

Chen Nuo looked bewildered; although he was invincible within Chaos Residence's range, he couldn't just speak and have it happen.

Before Chen Nuo could think further, the light struck the earth, making even the ground beneath his feet tremble.

Chen Nuo's eyelid twitched—good partner, this immortal is quite sturdy.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what happened?" The Ox Demon King's voice came from inside the shop.

"Nothing, keep brewing wine." Chen Nuo said while walking toward the deep pit.

The force from the light directly shattered several surrounding trees.

Smoke and dust hadn't cleared when a hand covered in black ash rested on the edge of the deep pit.

"Sure enough, it's alive!"

Had it not been for the wrong position and light, he would have thought Sun Wukong, who had just walked from here, got drunk and directly caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, kicking Taishang Laojun's pill furnace down.

The person climbed up, walked out from within, Chen Nuo took a close look and was instantly stunned—this damn thing is coarser than a big man!

"Brother, are you alright?" Following the principle that anyone appearing in Fangcun Mountain could become a customer, Chen Nuo inquired.

The purple-clad youth looked at Chen Nuo and said: "Where is this?"

"This is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Chaos Residence." Chen Nuo said calmly.

Falling from such a height and showing no injuries, this person definitely isn't a mortal.

The youth frowned, surprised to have arrived at a Buddhist sect's underworld realm—disgusting.

But after a moment's thought, at this time, the Buddhist sect shouldn't be here either, though what exactly is this Chaos Residence?

He had never heard of this place—could it be the cave dwelling of those little immortals?

The youth sized up Chen Nuo from head to toe; the original cloudiness in his eyes faded somewhat, replaced by astonishment—he couldn't see through this youth's cultivation realm.

"Chaos Residence, what is it?" The youth's face was expressionless.

"I run a restaurant; want to come in for a meal?"

"Any alcohol?" The youth asked hoarsely—he had just finished a pot of wine, and it was gone in no time.

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrow—this person's timing is truly impeccable.

"Yes, follow me."

Watching Chen Nuo's composed back, the youth's eyes flashed with excitement—this was the first time someone spoke to him like this.

Quite interesting, so he stepped forward and followed Chen Nuo's pace.

"This is the place." Chen Nuo pointed ahead at Chaos Residence.

The youth looked up, and the three imposing characters of Chaos Residence entered his vision; he then subtly glanced at Chen Nuo a few times, unable to suppress a sigh of admiration.

This person is even more arrogant than he was before, but the more arrogant, the more miserable the downfall.

The youth seemed to recall something, his cloudy eyes showing pain—what use is arrogance? One can't do anything!

Entering the shop door, the rich wine aroma finally brought the youth back to his senses.

"Good wine!" The youth sniffed, his eyes brightening, sincerely praising.

"That's only natural!"

Chen Nuo had no intention of being modest—whatever he inherited is top-tier, the strongest!

"Little girl, come out a bit,

and attend to the guest!"

"Coming, coming!" The Ox Demon King shed his demon king armor, wearing the ordinary clothes of a shop assistant, and hurried out from the back kitchen.

Upon seeing this so disheveled youth, the Ox Demon King's entire bovine face twisted together.

He slightly turned his head and whispered: "Shopkeeper Chen, is this person really a guest? I feel like he's a beggar."

Although the Ox Demon King thought he was speaking softly, his usual booming voice meant even lowering it was still crystal clear.

The youth was also stunned upon seeing the Ox Demon King, recognized him by aura, and couldn't help but chuckle—little ox, how you keep regressing.

"Little ox, remember: appearances can be deceiving, the sea cannot be measured by a bucket, and whoever comes is a guest!" Chen Nuo admonished.

"Good!" The youth sighed upon hearing this.

The Ox Demon King knew he was in the wrong.

"Sorry."

He muttered softly, turned, and placed the menu before the youth, saying: "Guest, take a look—these are our signature dishes."

However, the youth showed no interest, merely saying indifferently: "Take it away—I came here only to drink; bring out your best wine!"

"You!" The Ox Demon King's face darkened; although he had become Chen Nuo's shop assistant, his former dignity as a demon king still remained.

The Ox Demon King was about to erupt, but Chen Nuo reached out to stop him.

"We only have one kind of wine, but it's the best in the Three Realms!" Chen Nuo said leisurely.

"Still quite confident—then bring the wine up." The youth remained expressionless.

Chen Nuo pointed at the crystal ball: "Guest, pay first, place your palm on it, and you'll know how much to pay."

Hearing this, the youth didn't ask further but directly complied, receiving feedback from the crystal ball and froze.

Unexpected—there actually exists such a peculiar magical artifact in the world.

Is this a Taiyi Golden Immortal's magical tool? One pot of wine worth such a high-grade artifact?

If it were his former self, he would surely scoff—disdainfully depart—but now, what meaning does a magical artifact hold for him?

Self-mocking laugh: "Boss, I can't pay less, can I pay more?"

"Of course." Chen Nuo's expression held a trace of doubt, not knowing what this strange person wanted to do.

But in the next moment, he understood.

"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining Innate Treasure Tuntian Zhao, according to proportion, equivalent to twenty payments, transform?"

"Holy shit, Innate Treasure!"

Although Chen Nuo kept a straight face, his heart was greatly shaken—what kind of background does this person have, producing an Innate Treasure with a single move?

Besides his own ten years of self-evolution, even astonishing, he had never seen an Innate Treasure before.

"No transformation!" Chen Nuo thought to himself, at the very least he must wait until he's played enough before transforming!

"Little girl, bring the wine!" Chen Nuo called out.

The Ox Demon King nodded, but his eyes held a trace of suspicion—he felt the treasure paid by that strange person earlier looked somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't recall.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking further, and the Ox Demon King went to the back kitchen to fetch wine.

"Who came outside?" In the back kitchen, following Chen Nuo's instructions, the Peng Demon King, tidying up the back kitchen, asked curiously.

"I don't know either—he just came up to drink alcohol, not even eating the dishes Boss Chen prepared!"

"What?!" The Peng Demon King widened his eyes, not eating Boss Chen's dishes, insisting on drinking alcohol—isn't that a waste of heavenly resources?

He's been looking forward to this meal every day, and now this happens—leaving it uneaten!

"Who knows!" The Ox Demon King picked up a bottle of already packaged Peach Blossom Brew and walked out.
