Chapter 5398: Foremost Talent

Little Monkey grumbled angrily, "Because of those cowards today, I didn't even get dinner! Hmph."

"If only I could have a bowl of steaming hot mushroom soup right now, sigh." Little Monk's demands weren't high. Thinking of his mushroom soup made him feel even more wronged. What's the use of having an inner world? My storage talisman was confiscated by Mother before I had to kneel, and my inner world was sealed. Now I only have a prayer mat to kneel on, it's so desolate. Today's incident, he was truly innocent!

[This monk was only watching the fun and got punished too. I didn't even lift a finger from beginning to end!]

As they were talking, a large pot of soup suddenly appeared before the three little ones. It was steaming hot and still bubbling, filled with various vegetables, including the mushrooms Little Monk had longed for. In a blink of an eye, a plate of roasted chicken, a dish of braised pork, and three bowls of sparkling holy rice also appeared next to it.

"Master, you are our savior!" Adult Guang Guang's eyes were almost tearing up again. He picked up the holy rice with a moved expression, grabbed his chopsticks without a word, and started eating.

Kong Kong reached out and touched the baby's swaddling cloth. "Little brother, you're really capable."

Little Monkey scooped a bowl of soup. He took one sip and paused, then looked back at Mo Bao with a thoughtful expression. "Hey, don't you think it's very strange that he can open an inner world when he's so small?"

"What's so strange? My Little Dumpling was already a Divine Realm Level 8 expert at birth, and he advanced to Divine Realm Level 10 in no time."

What's so strange about having an inner world? If someone told them now that Mo Bao was born with his own personal divine domain, they wouldn't find it strange at all.

Little Monkey gobbled down two mouthfuls of rice and nodded. "That's true. Little Dumpling is truly the most talented person I've seen in three hundred years."

"What three hundred years? I haven't seen a second person who can compare to my little master in nearly ten thousand years, hmph."

Kong Kong glanced at the two, silently ate two slices of mushroom, and said, "One of you has been in the Sun-Moon Secret Realm for several hundred years. One was suppressed at the bottom of the abyssal sea for ten thousand years. You haven't seen many people in total."

"Shut up!" The two younger ones said in unison, yelling at Little Monk.

Little Monk, holding his small bowl, glanced at them, puffed out his cheeks, and reluctantly shut his mouth. Humans are all like this; they can't handle the truth.

Mo Bao, who had been lying on Adult Guang Guang's lap, suddenly sat up and floated lightly to Kong Kong's front. Little Monk quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, reaching out to catch him. He saw the baby's two dark, round eyes fixedly staring at him, and his heart immediately filled with affection.

"Little brother, we weren't fighting, just bickering," Little Monk explained strangely, then found it a bit amusing. Little brother is still so young, he wouldn't understand anyway.

The three little ones ate with great appetite, finishing half a pot of soup. Half of the roasted chicken also went into Little Monkey's and Adult Guang Guang's stomachs, though only a few pieces of the braised pork were touched. After eating, the three of them worked together to move the leftover food outside the small Buddhist hall, then secretly sneaked back, pretending to kneel before the Buddhist shrine for half an incense stick.

Little Monk, holding Mo Bao, knelt there reciting sutras. His small head suddenly dipped, almost hitting Mo Bao's big head. Startled, he quickly steadied himself and looked down, seeing the baby opening his toothless mouth, as if laughing at him.

Little Monk's heart warmed, and he smiled back at him.
