Chapter 614: Chapter 474: The Conqueror Buddha and the Monkey King
"Betty, that little girl, really." Lafra stood in the kitchen and shook her head with a laugh,
"She’s just spoiled. When the oilfish arrives, I really have to teach her a lesson." Chen Ze rolled up his sleeves. But those were issues for later. Right now, the most important thing for Chen Ze was to quickly prepare the dishes that Alisa and Betty had ordered.
The Manager’s Daily Special Recommendation was something Chen Ze had introduced when his menu wasn’t that rich, but now, because his menu is much larger and his culinary skills have improved significantly, very few people actually order this relatively unpopular set meal anymore.
However, since Alisa had ordered it, Chen Ze naturally focused on making it. Nevertheless, the pairing of the dishes became a problem.
"Let’s see... How about I use Double Dragon Soup and curry pork chop rice for the set, then pair it with a matcha cake, and finally, an improved version of the chive pockets." Chen Ze stroked his chin and quickly made a decision. Now, all he needed to do was to quickly make these items.
"I might as well make Betty’s Starry Sky Cake as well, thankfully I saved some ingredients. Otherwise, Betty might just cry." Chen Ze shrugged. Due to the problem with the original ingredients, it was quite tough to make the Starry Sky Cake again.

"Eldest brother, long time no see. How come you suddenly thought to visit me?" In the Western Paradise, Zhu Wuneng, who now served as the Altar Cleansing Envoy, was lying on the couch, looking at his guest through bleary, drunken eyes.
"Second brother, long time no see. That stomach of yours is really getting bigger and bigger." Sun Wukong laughed as he patted Zhu Wuneng’s belly. It had been a long time since Sun Wukong visited Zhu Wuneng, who had accompanied him on the journey for sutras.
"Eldest brother hasn’t changed a bit, although your cultivation has grown deeper." Zhu Wuneng carelessly rolled over, then touched his own belly. Zhu Wuneng’s belly had grown bigger than Maitreya Buddha’s, to the point where he couldn’t even see his own feet when he looked down.
"Unlike me. Look down, eh, a belly. Use magical power and look down, still the belly." Zhu Wuneng turned over, took a piece of fried chicken leg and fries from the table, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Those were happier times indeed. Now, Golden Cicada spends all his days studying Buddhist doctrines, and I don’t even know where third brother has been sent. White Dragon Horse, on the other hand, is living a carefree life." Sun Wukong glanced at the table, which was laden with all sorts of food.
"Eldest brother, why are you suddenly feeling nostalgic? It’s like your brother here, eating and drinking every day, how joyful it is." Zhu Wuneng picked at his ear and then grabbed a hamburger, gobbling it down.
"Do you remember the Black Bear Demon?" Sun Wukong fell silent for a while, but still looked at his second brother with a smile.
"The Black Bear Demon? Wasn’t he taken in by Bodhisattva Guanyin to guard a bamboo grove at the base of her mountain?" Zhu Wuneng touched his stomach and grabbed a serving of fries, tipping them all into his mouth.
"Hmm, but it seems that something has appeared on that mountain, something related to me, but I can’t figure it out." Sun Wukong pulled out a Flat Peach from his ear, looked at it, and laid it on Zhu Wuneng’s table.
"..." Zhu Wuneng glanced at Sun Wukong but said nothing, just kept devouring his food.
"I’ve already set up a formation. Nobody will hear us," said Sun Wukong out of the blue.
"Actually, in Gao Laozhuang, I also sensed something related to me, but I couldn’t figure it out either." Zhu Wuneng looked at the Flat Peach, flicked his hand, and the peach went right into his mouth.
"Don’t you want to resolve this entanglement?" Sun Wukong looked at his second brother. Back then, even though the second brother was very gluttonous, at least he had his own aspirations. Now, the second brother seemed to have lost his way.
"Me?" Zhu Wuneng looked at Sun Wukong in surprise, then picked up the roasted suckling pig on the table and began tearing into it voraciously.
"I’m just a fat deadbeat, an Altar Cleansing Envoy, responsible for cleaning up the leftover food, what could I possibly do?" Zhu Wuneng swallowed an entire roasted pig in one bite, then picked up a jug of wine, poured it into his mouth, and lay down on the sofa.
"Is Marshal Canopy still doing alright?" Sun Wukong stood up.
"Marshal Canopy? Who’s that..." Zhu Wuneng waved his hand dismissively and then closed his eyes, motionless.
Sun Wukong fell silent for a while, then with a somersault, he disappeared from Zhu Wuneng’s room.
Zhu Wuneng also opened his eyes, silently staring at the Nine-toothed Rake in the corner, already covered with a thick layer of dust.
Sun Wukong rode on the auspicious clouds, flying above the nine heavens, intending to check that place, to see what that thing related to him really was, to help dispel the obsession in his heart.
"The Monkey King, huh?" Sun Wukong thought, and the invitation that the Honored One had given him appeared in his hand.
That wondrous restaurant had now attracted the attention of the Three Realms, and it was for this reason that Sun Wukong had the opportunity to visit his junior brother and then see what that thing affecting him truly was.
The auspicious cloud was fast, even faster than the Somersault Cloud, so in no time Sun Wukong arrived at Black Wind Mountain and saw the now dilapidated Guanyin Temple.
"What’s that?" Sun Wukong put his fiery eyes and golden pupils to use and immediately spotted a figure, identical to himself from the past, only without Zhu Wuneng or Tang Seng by his side, and it seemed like he was about to harm a White Wolf Demon.
"Clang" Sun Wukong blocked the other’s Ruyi Jingu Bang, silently observing the monk with a face like thunder.
"Who would have thought, the obsession of the past could transform into a Heart Demon, giving birth to you." Sun Wukong looked at the dark version of himself and shook his head involuntarily.
"You, who betrayed our creed, what right do you have to occupy a revered position?" Black Wukong bared his teeth.
"Killing is not the way." Sun Wukong looked at Black Wukong with calm eyes; years of Buddhist practice had even given the stubborn monkey a touch of Buddha-nature.
"Shut up, you watchdog!" Black Wukong swung his staff forcefully, deflecting Sun Wukong’s staff and went for a swing to kill the White Wolf Demon. freewebnøvel.com
"That’s not allowed." Sun Wukong easily blocked the other’s staff; even if this was a Heart Demon, it was still a demon from the past, and now Sun Wukong’s state of mind was not as it used to be.
"I am the true Monkey King, Sun Wukong!" Black Wukong plucked a handful of fur, blew on it lightly, and suddenly there appeared many monkey hair clones, all swinging their staffs and charging forward.
"Sigh..." Sun Wukong heaved a sigh. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Then, with a gentle sweep, he cleared the universe with his staff.
