I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 72 A sharp tongue

When Zhang Yuan heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly said: "Of course not. There are hundreds of kinds of dishes I can make, and they taste much better than these. The meals I have cooked in the past few days are not actually delicious at all."

Princess Peacock's face suddenly showed displeasure.

A character like her is not good at hiding her thoughts. Her emotions and sorrows are all written on her face, and anyone can see them at a glance.

"Since I can cook more than a hundred dishes, why have I only cooked these few dishes over and over again these days?" Peacock was a little confused.

"What the princess doesn't know is that cooking is subject to many restrictions. If you want to make delicious dishes, you must have the best kitchen utensils, the best dishes, and dozens of different kinds of food." Only when these conditions are met for spices and herbs, coupled with excellent cooking skills, can exquisite and delicious dishes be made. However, the princess's kitchen utensils are not only poor, but also lack of variety. In addition, there are not many spices, and the dishes are not good enough. Therefore, delicious food cannot be cooked.”

"It's just a few dishes, why is it so troublesome?" Peacock frowned, "But it's easy to handle. Just make a list and ask Cardinal to go to Shituo City to purchase some."

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, "It's possible to purchase some seasonings, but we can't purchase kitchen utensils."

"Why?"

"There were some craftsmen among the humans in Shituo City who were good at making kitchen utensils, but all of them were eaten by my three kings. It is impossible for the princess to purchase kitchen utensils in Shituo City."

"This damn golden-winged roc is really hateful." Peacock said angrily.

"If Princess Peacock wants to eat hundreds of delicacies, I have a suggestion. Ask the princess to go to Shituoling. There are good kitchen utensils there. I guarantee that the meals prepared will be delicacies that the princess has never seen or heard of in her life. .”

"I won't go if I don't." Peacock waved his hand quickly, "Shituoling is extremely dirty. How can I go to that place?"

"My princess likes to be clean the most. She will not go to your Shituoling." Linque said.

"It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't want to go to Shitunoling. I'd like to suggest another place, which is the palace of my three kings. The kitchen utensils there are not only complete, but also exquisite. They are most suitable for cooking delicious dishes."

"I won't go to that place either." Peacock refused directly.

Zhang Yuan showed a grimace, "In this way, not only will the princess not be able to taste the delicious food, but I will also not be able to complete my mission. I will definitely be punished by the king when I go back."

"How will the green-haired lion monster punish you?" Princess Peacock asked with concern.

"It depends on the king's mood. If he is in a bad mood, my life may not be safe."

"This..." Princess Peacock felt embarrassed.

She is a kind-hearted person who hates the suffering of others.

Although this guerrilla general has a ruthless appearance, he has a good heart. He also cooked meals for her for so many days, allowing her to taste delicious food she had never tasted before. If she lost her life because she failed to complete the mission, she would be uneasy. .

"Aside from Shituoling and the palace of Golden-winged Dapeng, is there any other place for you to go?" Princess Peacock asked.

"I'm a demon. I don't dare to go to places where humans live. Apart from the two places I just mentioned, I can't think of any other places."

"You are making things difficult for me." Princess Peacock said with a sad look on her face.

"Is Princess Peacock afraid of the three kings of my family?" Zhang Yuan asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Afraid of him? Hum, why am I afraid of him? I just don't want to see him." Princess Peacock said noncommittally.

"From what she said just now, I think the princess has some hatred towards the three kings of my family."

"Of course I hate him."

"Since the princess is not afraid of the three kings of my family, but she still hates him in her heart, I wonder if the princess wants to take revenge on him." "Of course I do, but how can I take revenge?"

"I have a plan."

"Say, tell me quickly." Princess Peacock said impatiently.

"Tomorrow we will go to the palace of my three kings and use his royal kitchen to cook dozens of dishes for the princess. When we are waiting for dinner, our three kings will not be allowed to serve, so we will let him stand aside and watch the princess and the two of you. How about tasting it, young lady, and pissing him off?"

Princess Peacock thought for a moment and let out a sweet smile, "That's good. I really want to see him fly into a rage when he is angry."

"Princess, will the golden-winged roc do anything to us?" Linque was a little worried.

"Sister, you are worrying too much. The cultivation level of the golden-winged roc is far stronger than that of the princess. If he wanted to be violent, he would have done it long ago." Baique said.

"That's right." The red bird instantly put down its worries and said to Princess Peacock: "Princess, when I think of the golden-winged roc standing by and watching us taste the delicious food, I feel very happy."

Princess Peacock stood up and pressed her hands on the table, "It's refreshing, it's refreshing just thinking about it. Guerrilla General, when should we set off?"

Zhang Yuan was delighted.

The three of them, who are ignorant of worldly affairs and are simple and willful, are really easy to fool.

However, Zhang Yuan also felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

After all, the reason why Princess Peacock agreed to go to the palace of the Golden-winged Dapeng was not only to taste the delicious food and have a meal with the Golden-winged Dapeng, but more importantly, she was actually afraid that he would not be able to make a good deal when he returned to Shituoling and be attacked by the green-haired lion. Weird punishment.

You treat me with kindness, but I treat you with disgust. Zhang Yuan's heart is full of mixed emotions.

However, he quickly calmed down and realized that such kindness could only be repaid later.

Zhang Yuan said: "If Princess Peacock agrees, we will set off immediately. If you don't want to see more of our three kings, after tasting the delicious food, we will quickly leave the palace and return to Peacock Mountain."

"It's natural. Once I taste the delicious food and order the dishes for you to entertain those banshees, I will come back immediately. Come on, let's leave now." Peacock said.

Soon, a group of four people left Peacock Mountain.

After getting off Peacock Mountain, Zhang Yuan did not go to the palace immediately, but went to a busy market in Shituoling.

In a spiritual store opened by a hawk demon, Zhang Yuan purchased a large amount of spiritual plants and seasonings needed for cooking. After selecting them, Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Ying, all the expenses will be charged to the three kings. ”

The hawk demon's eyes widened, "Nonsense, how dare I go to the three kings and ask for spirit stones? Pay immediately."

Zhang Yuan pretended to be helpless, "I really didn't bring the spirit stone! How about this? You will send a demon servant to follow me later. I will go to the three kings to get the spirit stone, and then give it to your demon servant to bring it." return."

The harpy thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That's okay."

After leaving the store, Princess Peacock whispered: "You are really capable. You bought such a thing without bringing the spirit stone."

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, "I just want to help the princess take a good breath. When the time comes, my three kings spent a lot of spiritual stones but failed to eat delicious food. Wouldn't he be even more embarrassed?"

Princess Peacock let out a sweet laugh, "I just like to see him look embarrassed."
