"What do you want to eat?" Chen Nuo said calmly.

Seeing Chen the shopkeeper speak, Tianpeng also stopped arguing.

"Give me a sweet and sour pork tenderloin." After coming here so many times, Tianpeng knows what's available here better than his own cultivation techniques.

After eating so much, for some reason, he finds pork the most delicious.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Before, he kept eating crispy fried chicken because he had been eating it continuously and it was easy to awaken divine abilities.

Now he has already awakened the divine ability from crispy fried chicken, so he no longer needs to eat it.

"I'm the same as Brother Peng." Xiong Jing said without any hesitation.

Everything Brother Peng said is truth, everything he does is justice, in short, just follow him and it's done.

Chen Nuo shrugged his shoulders, ignored these three guys, and went straight to the kitchen to cook.

"I don't know what the bone frame turned into soup tastes like." Xiao Tian dog muttered while drooling.

This name sounds not bad.

Xiao Tian dog brought his own ingredients over, which Chen Nuo didn't expect, but as long as he eats here, there's no reason not to pay!

Chen Nuo also doesn't know what this golden bone frame is.

"System, scan it." Chen Nuo thought to himself.

"A broken Sao Yue Tun Tian Lang bone frame set."

Wolf, dog...

Chen Nuo rubbed his chin, indeed there is some meaning of same origin.

"How should this be eaten to obtain bloodline essence?"

"Boil the big bones into soup."

Indeed!

Chen Nuo nodded, it seems his professional eye as a great chef hasn't failed.

Just get it done!

The time to simmer bone soup is naturally much longer than ordinary dishes, and moreover this is not an ordinary bone frame.

Even if he has the Lihuo Fruit of the Spirit to burn fire, wanting to simmer it well is not an easy task.

Indeed, Chen Nuo has already installed the stove as a heating stove series composed of Guanyin's Lihuo Fruit of the Spirit and other fire-type treasures.

So useful!

Not long after, Chen Nuo walked out of the kitchen holding two plates of sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Let that bone be slowly simmered.

As soon as Chen Nuo came out, the impatient Xiao Tian dog rushed over in a leap, jumping three feet high, wanting to see clearly what dish Chen Nuo was holding.

Chen Nuo slightly sidestepped, avoiding the hungry dog's food-rushing behavior, and said: "No need to look, that bone still needs to be simmered for a while."

"Isn't this too long?" Xiao Tian dog wailed, to him, every minute and second of waiting for food is torment.

Because the more he anticipates, the more he wants it sooner.

Ignoring Xiao Tian dog's wailing, Chen Nuo served the dish.

"Enjoy slowly."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen." Tianpeng nodded with a smile, then immediately turned his head to mock Xiao Tian dog: "You just honestly wait, I'll enjoy it properly."

Xiong Jing stared blankly at the steaming plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin offered to him, smelling the faint sour-sweet in the air, his mouth watered as he had never seen such a thing before, he opened his mouth wide, saliva almost dripping onto the plate.

Tianpeng slapped the table, looking like he hated iron for not becoming steel, glared and said: "Next time when you go out, don't be so startled, don't embarrass me!"

Hearing Tianpeng's words, Chen Nuo's eyelids twitched.

When Tianpeng first came over, he still remembered, he even directly lay down in the dishes, and still had the nerve to say others?

For Tianpeng's kind of showing-off personality, he already didn't know what to say, and thus deserved a social beating.

"Yes!" Tianpeng's one sentence made Xiong Jing sit up straight with respect.

Tianpeng picked up his chopsticks, gestured for Xiong Jing to synchronize, and earnestly taught: "Eating must be elegant, as Shuai of the Heavenly Court's Water Army, I must always conduct myself to display the Heavenly Court's grace,

you must watch well, learn well."

Chen Nuo, Erlang Shen, etc.:...

"Brother Peng is right!" Xiong Jing nodded seriously, he couldn't let Brother Peng lose face.

Xiong Jing's clumsy bear paws picked up two chopsticks, imitating Tianpeng's manner, struggling to hold them, as if they were two toothpicks.

Seeing Xiong Jing learning quickly, Tianpeng nodded satisfied.

"Always remember, elegance... uh!" Tianpeng said while picking up a piece of sauce-coated pork tenderloin with his chopsticks after a hundred years and putting it into his mouth.

Before he finished speaking, the meat had already sunk into his stomach.

Then, to hell with elegance!

Tianpeng's eyes widened like a starving ghost, his chopsticks drew afterimages.

"How would the Heavenly Court's elegance be described..." Ox Demon King gave a dry laugh.

Peng Demon King took a small sip of Peach Blossom Brew, critiquing said: "A bit anxious."

Erlang Shen supported his forehead with one hand, if Haotian knew the Heavenly Court's elegance was like this, he estimated he could slap Tianpeng to death.

Headache, embarrassing.

Xiong Jing scratched his head, feeling doubtful, and also tried a piece of pork tenderloin.

The tender texture, sour-sweet taste instantly made Xiong Jing lose his bearings.

He directly dropped his chopsticks instinctively and started eating heartily with his bear paws.

"Burp..." Tianpeng looked at his empty plate in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Licking his sauce-smeared lips, his every gesture exuded elegance.

One dish a day truly is one of life's great pleasures.

If Boss Chen's dishes were unlimited, that would be great—after all, he's rich now, a man of means!

Tian Peng lazily slapped his belly, glanced at Xiong Jing, only to find he had already closed his eyes in meditation, his bear face stiff as stone, while the plate on the table was as good as new.

Is this... an awakening?

Tian Peng raised an eyebrow, not overly surprised, as if everyone who came here gained a divine ability upon first tasting the dish.

In a corner, Yang Chan, whose presence was barely noticeable, revealed a look of envy.

Sigh, there's a luck-blessed dog who awakens on the first try.

Everyone watched, waiting for the moment Xiong Jing would awaken.

Though it wasn't himself, aside from Chen Nuo, everyone's heart held a little excitement.

Chen Nuo smiled slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

This feeling was like when, in a past life, he bought game cards at the supermarket, with friends gathered in a circle, waiting for the European Emperor's descent.

I never thought he could still feel this way in this Journey to the West world.

Finally, the system's voice rang out in the midst of universal anticipation, echoing in their minds.

"Ding, Xiong Jing awakened after eating Sweet and Sour Pork, gaining the Divine Communication of Listening to the Mysterious Heaven Battle Armor—synchronize awakening?"

Hmm?

Chen Nuo froze for a moment; he had thought, given Xiong Jing's obsession with Buddhist Dharma in the original work, he would awaken a divine ability related to the Buddhist Sect.

I never thought he would awaken a Daoist Sect ability instead.

Mysterious Heaven Battle Armor: Knows heaven above and earth below, understands yin and yang, comprehends the Eight Trigrams, grasps array numbers and their arrangement and dissolution, can deduce upgrades, and develop various grand arrays.

Awesome!

Chen Nuo silently nodded; though this wasn't a combat divine ability, its potential was absolutely not low.

"Inheritance." Chen Nuo said in his heart.

Facing such a superior divine ability, he could not possibly let it pass.

"How is it?" Tian Peng saw Xiong Jing open his eyes and urgently asked: "What did you awaken?"

Others also perked up their ears.

Xiong Jing hehehed, eyes glowing with excitement, somewhat incoherently describing his divine ability.

This divine ability is usable!

Everyone nodded slightly, each feeling a hint of envy in their hearts.

Yang Jian still highly praised this divine ability.
