In the tavern, Su Luo has recruited several employees.

In addition to Xiaolongnu, Ying Yinman and Nie Xiaoqian who were the first to join the tavern, there were also Huang Rong, Selena, Feng Baobao and the two snakes Xiaobai and Xiaoqing who came later.

Although the salary Su Luo promised was not high, the fine wine he occasionally gave to a few people as a bonus was enough to make the guests in the tavern envious.

Just talking about Ying Yinman, her current strength is enough to defeat her father.

So when they heard that the tavern was recruiting chefs and buyers, except for a few people, everyone else flocked to it.

As soon as Su Luo appeared, he was surrounded.

Everyone asked questions at once.

Looking at these talented people who are the best in every dimension and admired by countless people being so eager for such a small position, Su Luo felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Everyone looked at him eagerly.

Su Luo looked around the tavern, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Ying Yinman.

Princess Daqin was one of the first employees to join the tavern, and she has always been conscientious and diligent.

Xiaolongnu and Nie Xiaoqian, who joined the tavern at the same time, seemed much more Buddhist.

Taking into account past performance and familiarity with the tavern rules, Su Luo decided to let Ying Yinman be in charge of the restaurant.

This new module is different from the others and has more things to deal with.

As for selling wine, Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, and Feng Baobao, who is quite familiar with the tavern, can be responsible for it.

Feng Baobao's eight unique skills are about to be completed, and her experiences in the tavern these days have made her strength and character grow rapidly, so it is not difficult for her to work as a waitress.

After making the decision, Su Luo waved at Ying Yinman.

Princess Daqin quickly stood up and walked over.

A moment later, everyone learned that the restaurant that was about to open would be managed by Ying Yinman.

Su Luo also informed her of the restaurant's requirements.

The current restaurant is just an attached module of the pub.

The quality of all food depends on the ingredients and the chef's cooking skills, and there is no additional special effect.

Of course, if the ingredients themselves are special, they may produce some additional effects after being processed by the chef.

Perhaps in the future when the pub’s level is upgraded, the restaurant will show its extraordinary qualities, but for now, it can only provide guests with satisfaction on their taste buds.

After two days, Ying Yinman had settled the restaurant business.

As most of the tavern's guests had expected, two pairs of chefs were eventually recruited.

Abao and his duck father, as well as old Hongtou and little Fugui, the grandfather and grandson.

One pair specializes in pastries, while the other is responsible for cooking.

With Abao's cooking skills, he is not qualified to be a tavern chef.

But he has a cheerful personality and is good at tasting delicious food. It would be very suitable for him to do odd jobs and serve dishes, and to work part-time as a food purchaser.

In addition to Po, the panda man Lao Chen and the drunken swordsman Situ Zhong also became food purchasers.

They are responsible for purchasing ingredients according to the list compiled by the chef, and they can also take the initiative to search for them on their own in various dimensions.

In addition, guests from all planes of existence can also sell ingredients they think are good to the tavern's restaurant and obtain time and space coins.

Fugui brought a large bag of carefully selected tribute rice.

…

Day 3.

The restaurant is operating smoothly.

This place is separated from the pub by a door and is filled with more than a hundred neatly arranged tables and chairs.

The fire on the stove was burning hot, and the blue flames were swaying.

Old Hong was shaking the wok, sweat dripping from his forehead, but his expression was extremely happy.

His lifelong wish was to make Hong's cuisine famous throughout the world, but he never imagined that it would be possible to spread it to other worlds.

Even though he had been cooking and had been stir-frying non-stop for the entire morning, he did not feel tired at all. He just regretted that he did not have three heads and six arms so that he could move faster.

Little Fugui was busy helping his grandfather prepare the dishes, and occasionally he used his golden finger to test the dishes, and he was enjoying it very much.

Po and his duck father were also busy running around, bringing out bowls of delicious noodles from time to time.

The restaurant was already packed.

In order to welcome the opening ceremony, Ying Yinman specially asked Lao Chen and Situ Zhong to get a lot of good ingredients.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a corner, telling several other guests about their thrilling journey of collecting ingredients.

Situ Zhong originally wanted to kill a dragon as a gift for the restaurant's opening, but he didn't meet a suitable one, and the few he had heard of couldn't beat them. In the end, he had to settle for the next best thing and find an evil dragon in the White Snake plane.

Lao Chen caught a flying dragon.

"Why didn't I see your apprentice today?" Old Chen suddenly asked.

Situ Zhong smiled and said, "Do you still remember Nezha who came to the tavern a few days ago?"

Old Chen naturally remembered it, and recalled: "That arrogant little guy?"

Situ Zhong nodded: "Today is his third birthday party, Xiaoyao is invited to attend."

Old Chen suddenly realized.

He remembered that Li Xiaoyao got along well with several outstanding young people in the tavern, and Nezha was obviously a rising star.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Teacher, did you say that Nezha has a curse that will prevent him from living past the age of three?"

Situ Zhong nodded: "That's right."

"What a lucky boy!" Old Chen sighed.

If it weren't for the tavern, the kid would at least have suffered a lot.

The existence of the tavern means that the other party no longer needs to worry about the heavenly curse.

Situ Zhong thought of his daughter Anu, as well as the Nanman general and others, and said with emotion: "Which of us is not lucky to be able to enter this place?"

"That's right." Old Chen looked around and nodded with a smile when he saw Fugui not far away.

He was impressed by this doomed mortal.

Xu Fugui had only been in the tavern for about ten days, and his appearance and temperament were completely different from before.

Even he himself has been reborn.

With the Bodhi wine he saved up money to buy a few days ago, his comprehension was greatly improved, and he created a new secret of the wine fairy, which made the tribesmen call him a super genius!

He planned to give his people in his homeland a huge surprise when he found Pandaria.

…

Like the tavern, another place is also quite lively at the moment.

This place is none other than Li Mansion located in Chentangguan.

As the general of Chentang Pass and his wife, Li Jing and his wife had a high prestige.

Although the people were somewhat dissatisfied with the two due to Nezha's identity as a demon child, after all, they slayed demons and protected the people, so the people were still grateful to them from the bottom of their hearts.

As the two men disregarded their pride and went door to door to personally beg, all the prominent people in Chentangguan attended Nezha’s third birthday party.

Li Jing and his wife went out to greet them, and their words were filled with gratitude towards the guests.

Taiyi Zhenren, who was standing with the two of them, felt a little nervous.

He felt that Nezha had changed.

This kid is the reincarnation of a demon child and has powerful magical powers, but he has become increasingly unpredictable to him in the past few days.

Nezha no longer called him fatso, but called him master instead, which made him feel like this kid was up to something bad.

"Besides hiding my map of mountains, rivers and the country, what else can he do?" Taiyi Zhenren touched his chin, thinking secretly.

He originally thought that the lost map of mountains, rivers, and the country was stolen by his senior brother Shen Gongbao, but two days ago, when his senior brother tried to steal the Qiankun Ring from Nezha's neck, he was chased and beaten by the other party. He realized that he might have misunderstood.

That kid must have been worried that I would use the Map of Mountains and Rivers to trap him again, so he hid it.

Thinking back to today's birthday banquet, Nezha happily said he wanted to give everyone a surprise...

Taiyi Zhenren suddenly sighed.

Thinking of the blessing of peace that Li Jing gave to Nezha and the backup plan he had prepared, Taiyi Zhenren suddenly felt melancholy.

If I hadn't been careless, how could things have developed to this point! While lamenting, Taiyi Zhenren suddenly saw Nezha and a few others appear in his sight.

Those people were all unfamiliar faces, both men and women, with extraordinary temperaments.

Especially that woman, the faint aura emanating from her made him feel a little frightened.

"Dad, Mom, Master!" Nezha shouted excitedly.

He came over with a skipping sound, held his head high, and said proudly, "These are my friends. They are here to attend my birthday party too!"

Li Jing and his wife looked at everyone and were also stunned for a moment.

They knew very well how their son performed in Chentangguan.

Not to mention friends, I don’t even have a cat or dog that I’m on good terms with.

When did he make friends?

Looking at a few more people, they obviously have extraordinary temperaments and are all unfamiliar faces.

The two were suspicious, but thinking that this might be their son's last day in this world, they suppressed their doubts and put on warm smiles.

"Hello."

"Welcome to Zhaer's birthday party!"

"I didn't expect Zhaer to have friends like you!"

Hearing the tentative words in the two people's conversation, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Nezha has a simple mind and treats people sincerely. We all like him very much."

Even though they knew it was a compliment, Li Jing and his wife were still quite happy.

After trying to inquire about the origins of the few people, and learning that they were outsiders and seemed unwilling to say more, Li Jing did not ask any more questions and arranged for them to take seats.

Taiyi Zhenren was really curious about these people and volunteered to accompany Nezha's friends in person.

As he chatted with a few people, he felt more and more that these people were extraordinary.

He had never heard of such things as "fighting spirit", "wheel sea" and "heavenly book" that they talked about.

The meanings revealed in the conversations between the few people made him secretly surprised.

While he was observing several people, several people were also observing him.

In addition to Ye Fan and the ruthless emperor who was specially invited by Nezha, those who came this time also included Xiao Yan, Zhang Xiaofan, Li Xiaoyao and others.

In addition to them, there is also Sun Wukong who transforms into human form.

"Is this fat guy Taiyi Zhenren? He doesn't look that great!" Sun Wukong commented.

"He has not practiced for as long as people in later generations, so it is normal that his cultivation is not strong enough." Xiao Yan analyzed.

"The spiritual energy here is quite rich. If I practice here for many years, I will achieve twice the result with half the effort." Zhang Xiaofan looked around with envy on his face.

Ye Fan nodded: "This is just Chentang Pass, a gathering place for mortals. If this place is a blessed land, I'm afraid the spiritual energy will be even more abundant!"

The ruthless man looked around silently.

From her twinkling eyes, we can see that she is equally curious about this world.

As the birthday banquet was getting closer, Nezha became anxious.

He still has a friend who hasn't arrived yet! Seeing his reaction, Ye Fan and the others understood.

This guy is thinking about his dragon friend.

They all remembered what Su Luo had said earlier.

Ao Bing is the reincarnation of the spirit pearl and is kind-hearted. Therefore, when Nezha was possessed by the devil, he stepped in to stop him.

But he was placed with high hopes by the tribe, so under the coercion of the tribe, he took a risk and planned to destroy Chentang Pass and suppress the magic pill, so as to use this achievement to gain a chance to change the fate of the dragon clan.

After Nezha released the seal, he was eventually defeated and his actions were stopped.

Later, when Nezha encountered a heavenly calamity, Ao Bing stepped forward again and used the Ten Thousand Scale Armor, which was the hope of the dragon clan, to block it. In the end, he sacrificed his body to help Nezha withstand the calamity.

Nezha had another opportunity at this time, and the course of events after the two met had already changed.

Although Nezha invited him, he was not possessed by Shen Gongbao after his Qiankun Circle was taken away.

As they were thinking, they suddenly felt the ground shaking.

The ruthless man was the first to feel something and looked towards the east.

Several thick columns of water rose from the sea and quickly rose into the sky like a terrifying hurricane.

The sea water was flowing back and gathering in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ruthless man showed an interested look.

Ye Fan and his companions also noticed this sudden change.

"The real culprit has appeared!" Xiao Yan said.

"Demon..." Zhang Xiaofan said, but suddenly thought of Sun Wukong beside him and changed his words, "No wonder the demon dragon can't be trusted. It's clearly coming for the common people!"

Taiyi Zhenren stood up suddenly.

"How dare you, you monster!" he shouted and was about to stand up.

But a tall and thin figure blocked his way.

"Master... Junior Brother, what are you going to do? Why don't you... sit down and drink... some wine?"

Looking at Shen Gongbao who was blocking his way, Taiyi Zhenren understood: "So it was you who did it!"

"This... this is not... playing tricks. The magic pill is reincarnated into a... born demon king. You don't... don't want to destroy it. Instead, you help it practice. This is against... against... heaven!" Shen Gongbao stammered.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but point at him and burst into laughter: "Where did this leopard come from? He can't even speak clearly!"

Shen Gongbao was furious: "How dare you... dare to scold me!"

He slashed at Sun Wukong with his sword.

Taiyi Zhenren was in the opposite direction, and it was too late for him to stop it.

Seeing Shen Gongbao coming at him like lightning, Sun Wukong sneered, stretched out his hand to pull his ear, and then swung forward.

The golden cudgel grew longer in the wind and became several feet long in an instant.

Before Shen Gongbao's sword fell, it was smashed away by Sun Wukong's stick!

Sun Wukong's original strength was no weaker than the current Shen Gongbao. His power increased dramatically during the time he entered the tavern, and now he can come and go freely in the Heavenly Palace. Dealing with this leopard demon is as easy as beating a dog.

This blow of his not only knocked Shen Gongbao away, but even Taiyi Zhenren felt as if his heart was violently pulled back.

He stared blankly at the guy whose face was gradually revealing a monkey.

Monster? "Great Sage, your tail is exposed!" Ye Fan warned in a low voice.

"Ah, hehe, it was an accident." Sun Wukong was secretly feeling proud, but suddenly he found that his face became furry and his tail could not help but lift up, so he simply stopped disguising himself.

There were exclamations all around.

Nezha's friend turned out to be a monkey demon! Li Jing and his wife were even more shocked.

The two men subconsciously reached for their weapons, but were stopped by Taiyi Zhenren: "Don't be prejudiced against monsters. He may not be a bad monster, but a fairy monkey!"

He did not sense any demonic aura from Sun Wukong, but instead a strong immortal aura.

Then I think of the power of Sun Wukong's stick...

Could he be the apprentice of some senior uncle?

Hearing the exclamations around him, Ye Fan stood up and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who was canonized by the Heavenly Court!"

Taiyi Zhenren blinked blankly.

Why hasn’t he heard of the position of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Heaven?

Shen Gongbao turned to Sun Wukong and said, "You and I... We are both from the demon clan. Look... look... look..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Wukong interrupted him: "Are you stuttering?"

"You! You... don't know what's good for you!" Shen Gongbao said angrily.

Sun Wukong waved his stick and he quickly retreated.

Above the sky, there was a vast ocean, hanging gloomily over Chentang Pass.
