Hearing what Haotian said, the Food God and Stove God were ecstatic and quickly responded, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's wise and divine might!"
Sun Wukong, watching the two deities behave like this, was a bit startled, thinking, Goodness, such bootlicking, and they're experts at it too!
Thinking back to the times when he used to flatter his master, Sun Wukong felt somewhat inferior.
When it came to taking initiative, he was far behind, and he decided that he should improve his skills in this area given the chance.
Who knows, maybe his master would be in a good mood and give him something nice again.
Zhou Kang, however, did not offer flattery but spoke with a sense of shame, "Replying to Your Majesty, I didn't contribute much effort, just helping to prepare the ingredients and assisting a little, all the dishes were made by Great Immortal Wukong."
