Chapter 71

Since Peng Demon King resides in the Yao Shi Gong, he only has some prestige among the demon race, and has not done anything earth-shattering in the Three Realms, so Nezha naturally does not know him.

Ox Demon King's attitude is serious, his tone does not seem feigned.

Nezha turned his gaze toward Chen Nuo, the only one dressed normally being the youth in front who looks just like Yang Dage.

Is he the shopkeeper?

He actually wants to see what abilities this person has, to make Ox Demon King willingly come over to work part-time, and even make Tian Peng come all the way this late!

Thinking this, Nezha boldly used his spiritual sense to examine.

Not looking is fine, but one look directly stunned him dazed, unfathomable!

Nezha felt the person before him was so powerful that if he wanted to kill him directly, perhaps just a thought would suffice.

In an instant, four words arose in Nezha's mind: Peerless Master!

Another probing...

Chen Nuo was helpless, is this the common ailment of Honghuang people? Coming up and saying nothing, directly using spiritual sense to greet?

Seeing Nezha frozen in place, Chen Nuo felt amused, was he frightened?

"Guest, what would you like to eat?" Chen Nuo greeted.

Pulled back by Chen Nuo's voice, Nezha's whole body wilted, nothing like when he first entered.

Forcing out an extremely ugly smile, he stammered: "Do you... have anything here?"

Chen Nuo gave Ox Demon King a look, Ox Demon King understood, went to the counter and took a menu over, handed it to Nezha, and said in a muffled tone: "It's written above, look yourself."

He wouldn't tell Nezha the dish names.

Nezha still hadn't shaken off the fright from Chen Nuo, so he didn't bother with Ox Demon King's bad attitude, mechanically taking the menu.

Seeing the dish names, he finally came to his senses, huh, they all seem pretty good.

He hadn't eaten yet either.

"Give me a plate of egg fried rice, a plate of braised pork, a plate of fragrant crispy fried chicken, a plate of sweet and sour pork, a bowl of peach blossom porridge, a bowl of flying dragon soup."

Nezha said a string of dishes, after speaking, hesitated a bit before nodding, this amount should be enough.

Chen Nuo speechlessly watched Nezha, still not much taller than the table, and thought: Boy, no matter how you eat, you won't grow taller, better give up that idea.

Ox Demon King coldly snorted: "Are you a pig, you can eat so much, Chen Boss's dishes, if you could eat one meal a day, that would be a great favor to you!"

Chen Nuo's mouth twitched, a bit speechless, still having the nerve to say others, if not for this limit, you might not even be as good as a pig!

Only able to hesitate for a day? What strange rules, does this restaurant not want to make money?

But with the big shot present, he also had no good complaints, thought a bit and said: "Then just this sweet and sour pork."

Having said that, he wanted to pay.

He often goes to Guanjiangkou to find Yang Dage, sometimes they go out to taste human delicacies, he still has money on him.

"We only take this, you think this is a mundane small shop!" Ox Demon King glared with his ox eyes, mocked Nezha a few sentences, then explained the general rule.

So that's it, Nezha nodded, but his heart was greatly surprised, could there really be such a strange fee standard?

Coming before the crystal ball, Nezha placed his hand on it, felt the feedback information, his face instantly changed.

This thing actually wants his half-formed cultivation?!

If it were a magic treasure fee, Nezha wouldn't mind, but this cultivation, it's a bit unacceptable!

His lotus physique cultivation progresses extremely slowly, if he falls to half-formed cultivation, he fears it would take hundreds of years to recover!

Nezha felt like retreating, but that unfathomable shopkeeper was here watching him, leaving him in a dilemma.

What if not selling angers the shopkeeper,

and a thought kills himself, what then?

Nezha now feels deep regret, if he had known he wouldn't have followed Tian Peng, now he hasn't eaten yet, and this half-formed cultivation is gone.

Carrying indignant feelings, Nezha hesitantly paid his half-formed cultivation, instantly felt his realm drop, Nezha even had the thought of dying.

Why am I so indebted?!

"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining half-formed cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal Late Stage, whether to transform into merit?"

Cultivation?

Chen Nuo was stunned, does this fee standard even involve cultivation? This is a bit heaven-defying!

Cultivation is not like magic power, magic power depleted is just depleted, recovery is fast, but if cultivation is lost, it's directly a realm drop, even re-cultivation is not easy.

This Nezha is truly an unlucky person, pioneering the fee standard's precedent!

So far, besides Monkey's fee standard being set by Chen Nuo himself, only Young Lady and Yang Chan have the best luck, one is silver, one is one-tenth of magic power.

"Sweet and sour pork ready soon, wait a moment!" Seeing Nezha paid, Chen Nuo smiled and went to the back kitchen.

Nezha intentionally found a distant seat to sit, and did not like Tian Peng actively approach.

Sweet and sour pork is one of the classic traditional dishes, using pork tenderloin as main ingredient, paired with flour, starch, vinegar and seasonings, sour and sweet flavor, stimulates appetite.

Under Chen Nuo's perfect cooking skill, this dish's advantages are fully displayed.

"How did you find this place?" While Chen Nuo cooked, Ox Demon King opened his mouth to ask.

Nezha still had strong vigilance: "Little Master I found it, what's it got to do with you!"

Ox Demon King was not angry, firmly said: "Tian Peng Brother just left, you came right after, you must have secretly followed!"

Shopkeeper Chen's place, if you want to find it, besides having come once knowing the exact location, or being lucky, wanting to rely on strength to find it, that's fundamentally impossible!

Tian Peng and Nezha coming this close in time, definitely something wrong!

Suddenly exposed, Nezha didn't care about Ox Demon King, directly turned his head away!

But Ox Demon King didn't mind, still said: "However, this isn't important, since you came here, it's your great opportunity!"

Even he and Peng Demon King were originally brought here by Monkey Brother dragging them.

Great opportunity? Nezha was stunned, could it be that Tian Peng's strength increase is because of this place, could it be that Tian Peng bowed to this shopkeeper senior as master?

If it were said that such a great being was giving Tianpeng some pointers, this would truly be a tremendous opportunity, but Tianpeng is a third-generation disciple of the Ren Sect—isn't he betraying his master and destroying his ancestors?

How did he manage that?

A shock to the heart—if this is an opportunity, then he fundamentally cannot accept it!

Nezha's thoughts raced in ten thousand strands, while Chen Nuo on this side had already prepared and served the sweet and sour pork.

Withdrawing his heart and mind, Nezha's gaze was instantly drawn to the sweet and sour pork; the meat chunks piled high in the plate, and the thick, crystalline gravy slowly flowed down from the top edge.

Like evening clouds gathering at the horizon, the cloud's edge had the red light of the setting sun pouring down.

Extremely beautiful!

The pork tenderloin was wrapped in fragrant gravy, the sweet and sour aroma spreading through Nezha's nasal passages, saliva uncontrollably seeping out.

Nezha's appetite greatly opened, he quickly used chopsticks to pinch up a piece and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Biting down one mouthful, the tongue tip touched that gravy, threads of smooth sweet-sour sensation instantly filling the mouth's taste buds, also causing Nezha to shudder.

Following closely was the hot, crispy pastry skin.

The irregular shape made Nezha feel that the flavor inside had gained deeper layers.
