Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 484 Chang’e Comes to Express Gratitude

Chen Nuo wasn’t Nuwa; he had been seated opposite her the whole time, with a clearer view of the changes on Nuwa’s face than her own, "It is indeed your face."

Nuwa also snapped out of her daze in a moment and immediately understood that it was all thanks to the dish, although it didn’t awaken her Divine Skills, it enhanced her beauty to a new level, which to Nuwa, was something that pleased her more than awakening Divine Skills.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this is all thanks to your dish!" Nuwa happily exclaimed, almost jumping up, she’d known before that Chen Nuo’s dishes could boost one’s Mana, but she hadn’t expected them to enhance her own beauty, "I really didn’t expect your dish to have this effect, I’ve decided to eat your cooking every day from now on."

Seeing Nuwa’s happy expression, Chen Nuo’s mood was also lifted, and he said with a smile, "Not every dish can have such an effect, and the specific effects are actually random for each person; it seems that your Mana is already quite high, so the dish started to change your appearance."

But regardless of the reason, the change in her appearance was tangible, and Nuwa was truly delighted, even smug about her clever idea that morning.

Had she not casually asked that morning and agreed to help Chen Nuo, she wouldn’t have gotten a free meal, let alone improved her looks, it was certainly a profitable transaction.

"I know, but I still want to thank you," Nuwa said with excitement, "Really, it’s even more pleasing to me than awakening Divine Skills."

Chen Nuo couldn’t understand the goddess’ way of thinking; he thought that awakening Divine Skills was far more important than becoming more beautiful, and then laughed at himself, realizing how wrong it was to impose his own views on others, stereotypes should be avoided at all costs.

Nuwa had mooched a meal, improved her appearance, and even managed to get a rabbit’s head packed up for free, leaving Chaos Residence feeling extremely pleased.

Indeed, the fastest way to make a species disappear was to make it delicious; in just a few days, the rabbits in the Guanghan Palace were nearly in short supply, and having some free time, Chang’e went to thank Tian Peng.

She was quite considerate, knowing that the milk tea shop was busy during the day, so she specifically chose after closing hours to visit.

At the time, Tian Peng was tidying up inside the store; he looked up to see someone coming in and hurried to stop them, "We are closed, we are closed, if you’re here to buy milk tea, please come back tomorrow."

"I am not here to buy milk tea," Chang’e said.

Tian Peng paused when he heard this voice, quickly looked up, and when he saw it was Chang’e, stopped what he was doing, "Fairy Chang’e, why have you come?"

"I have come to thank you," Chang’e said, holding a coat in her hands, which upon closer inspection, appeared to be made of rabbit fur, presumably from the pelts of rabbits from her palace.

Chang’e passed the coat to Tian Peng, "At the time, it was just an offhand remark to you; I didn’t expect that Lord Tian Peng would actually find me a solution. Now my palace has returned to its previous state, it’s indeed much more peaceful and even has a lot of space. This is my token of thanks, a humble gift not worth much, but please don’t think poorly of it."

Tian Peng hurriedly received the coat from Chang’e, examined it, and saw that it would probably take several hundred rabbit pelts to make one coat, and the craftsmanship was also very fine, as Chang’e’s own embroidery skills were excellent.

With the coat in hand, Tian Peng’s heart trembled, "Ah, since I promised Fairy Chang’e, I was sure to deliver, but I didn’t expect you would actually make a piece of clothing for me to express your thanks; it’s I who should be thanking you, I’ve never had a fairy make clothes for me before."

"It was just something I made in my spare time, and the work is quite rough, so I hope Lord Tian Peng doesn’t mind," she said.

Lord Tian Peng treasured the outer garment and said, "What are you talking about, Fairy Chang’e? How could I refuse such a thing? I’ll wear it well."

Sun Wukong had just finished cleaning up when he saw the rabbit fur coat Tian Peng put away. He couldn’t help but sneer, "Fairy Chang’e, your gift really lacks thought. It’s eternally spring in the Heavenly Court, so a rabbit fur coat is hardly necessary. If you were going to give a gift, you could have just gotten some fabric from Weaver Girl and made him a coat. Wouldn’t that show more sincerity?"

Tian Peng hurried to turn back and stop Sun Wukong, "Hey, Mr. Monkey, what are you talking about? Surely the rabbit fur has a special significance. It symbolizes that I helped her because of rabbits, and her making a garment for me out of rabbit fur shows it’s especially meaningful."

Sun Wukong snorted, "Special significance? I think her palace just has too many rabbits, and she has no way to deal with all the fur. She’s just thinking of giving it to you because it’s like she’s treating you as a garbage dump."

"Mr. Monkey!" Tian Peng’s voice rose, "What are you saying! Fairy Chang’e is right there. Isn’t that embarrassing her? And besides, the coat is for me. I’ll wear it however I please!"

Fairy Chang’e’s expression became a bit awkward as she waved her hands, "If Lord Tian Peng doesn’t like it, then give it back to me."

"Don’t take Mr. Monkey’s casual words to heart, Fairy Chang’e, he’s not serious. He’s just jealous that I can talk to you and receive gifts while he doesn’t. Don’t let it bother you. Whatever you give to me, even if it’s really just trash, I’ll like it," Tian Peng said.

"Lord Tian Peng, you jest. Why would I give you unwanted trash?" Nuwa chuckled, "I’ve got the number of rabbits in my palace under control now. There’s no need to be so busy anymore, and I have you to thank for that."

"What credit does he have? He just ran his mouth," Sun Wukong began to sneer again.

"All the credit goes to my master. It was the Three Demons who handled the rabbits, and the meals were prepared by my master. What did he do? He just caused my master trouble. And now, of all people, you’re thanking him, which is truly disheartening."

Fairy Chang’e, not having considered this aspect, quickly said, "I was too careless, only thinking about thanking whoever agreed to help me, and didn’t think of that. In that case, I should also express my gratitude to Shopkeeper Chen."

"You’re also giving him a coat as thanks, but you just say a few words to thank my master?" Sun Wukong gave her a cool look.

"Ah, in that case, the osmanthus flowers in the Lunar Palace will be blooming soon. When they do, I’ll give some to Shopkeeper Chen. They’re excellent for making pastries," Chang’e considered and said.

Sun Wukong was at a loss for words and just glanced at Tian Peng. "Did you hear that? Even Fairy Chang’e knows how to do things properly, more so than you. You blockhead, you could learn a thing or two."

"Mr. Monkey, what you’re saying... It’s true that I asked Shopkeeper Chen for help, but I also gave him his due reward. You can’t say I showed no appreciation," Tian Peng looked at Sun Wukong, feeling aggrieved. "What’s with you today? It’s like you’re on the warpath, always picking fights."

"You’re full of it. Am I picking fights? I’m plainly speaking the truth. If you don’t want to listen, fine!" Sun Wukong turned to leave.

This Tian Peng really knew how to forget favors once he saw benefits. His master was so kind, accepting such a modest payment for such a big favor. And now that Chang’e had given him a little advantage, he had completely forgotten his master.

Seeing how sycophantic Tian Peng was towards Chang’e filled Sun Wukong with the resolve to make Tian Peng’s wallet bleed heavily just once.
