The time given by the Queen Mother was imminent; all dishes that would satisfy her had to be perfected before the Flat Peach Banquet and delivered accordingly.
Having wandered the mundane world for a considerable length, time waited for no one, and after finally encountering a once-in-a-lifetime genius, one must not let the opportunity slip away!
Zhou Kang's mind stirred, "May I ask what is this important matter?"
The Kitchen God then described the situation to Zhou Kang, only he omitted the part about punishment and greatly exaggerated the reward at the end.
By the time Zhou Kang learnt that he was to cook for all Immortals, and that it was for the grandest Flat Peach Banquet in the Three Realms, his heart had already soared.
He didn't listen to anything that followed.
He nodded eagerly, excitedly saying, "Great Sage, I will go!"
A teachable youth indeed.
