Chapter 1253: Chapter 399: Friends
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it.
But seeing the steadfast appearance of the Martial King, Sun Wukong and the others felt that the Martial King was probably speaking the truth.
It was very likely that the Three Pure Ones were indeed as insane as they were rumored to be.
“Listening to you all, I feel more at ease. Alright, you may leave. If there is any trouble, I will seek help from the Heavenly Court. I will restrain the lineage of the Nine Wastes and ensure their complete integration into the Three Realms. If anyone breaks the rules, you can act according to the rules of the Three Realms.”
The Martial King said casually.
At the same time, he expressed his attitude towards the Heavenly Court.
The task of the Martial King was to let the living beings of the Nine Wastes fully integrate into the Three Realms and become part of it.
Rather than remaining as outsiders, incompatible with the surroundings.
Everyone looked at him with new respect.
If it were someone else, they might not have the same perspective as the Martial King.
They would likely consider various ways to preserve the purity of their own bloodline and protect their clan members, refusing to let the Heavenly Court act against them even if they made mistakes.
However, the Martial King thought about complete integration into the Three Realms.
This made others regard him with increased respect.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the Martial King smiled and said, “Why are you all looking at me? Isn’t this what you have been hoping for?”
Everyone smiled knowingly.
However, the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others also felt relieved.
They had always been worried that once the living beings of the Nine Wastes entered the Three Realms, they would become the source of chaos.
At that time, the entire Three Realms would at least be unsettled for a while and be troublesome.
As it turned out, the Martial King was impressive, directly giving them the initiative and willing to fully cooperate with them.
This saved them a lot of trouble.
And, even if there were conflicts between the Heavenly Court and the Nine Wastes, they were destined to be small in scope.
Thinking of this, everyone smiled back.
“In that case, I am relieved. Everyone, please return. If there are any difficulties, Emperor Jun and the Martial King, you can send people to the Heavenly Court to speak. If the requests are reasonable, I can fulfill them.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei said boldly.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The Martial King said with a smile.
But Emperor Jun merely cupped his hands slightly.
He was somewhat uncomfortable because he was once the Heavenly Emperor.
Now, the later heavenly emperor of the Heavenly Court seemed to be looking down on him, making him feel as if he had become a minister. This gave him a surreal feeling.
Emperor Jun felt a bit dazed and his expression was complicated.
Everyone understood his feelings and didn’t say much.
Everyone knew that it would take time for Emperor Jun to adapt.
Everyone retreated and left the place.
Meanwhile, the Queen Mother of the West earnestly invited Sun Wukong and the others to Kunlun, offering a condition that Sun Wukong could not refuse.
If Sun Wukong was willing to go to Kunlun, she would regularly send some peaches of immortality to Huaguo Mountain.
It wasn’t that Sun Wukong didn’t want to refuse, but the offer from the Queen Mother of the West was too tempting.
Sun Wukong yielded and went to Kunlun with Nu Ba.
“The intentions of the Queen Mother of the West are known to all, truly difficult for her.”
Nu Ba sighed, transmitting her thoughts to Sun Wukong.
It wasn’t that she intended to mock; it was indeed a bit of a sigh.
The Queen Mother of the West is among the top goddesses in the world. Even in an age of numerous Supremes, she is still a Female Supreme.
If she wished, even the Heavenly Emperor would be moved.
But she happened to meet Sun Wukong, an unyielding wooden block, leaving her helpless and unable to fully captivate Sun Wukong despite her proactive efforts.
Nu Ba even thought that the Queen Mother of the West’s allure to Sun Wukong might not be stronger than the peaches of immortality.
This couldn’t help but make her feel a bit sympathetic towards the Queen Mother of the West.
After staying at Kunlun Mountain for a few days, Nu Ba even summoned the Lady Dragon of Wealth.
The Queen Mother of the West warmly welcomed them and sent many treasures and jewelry.
This quickly made the relationship among the three extremely harmonious.
Looking at Nu Ba and the others, it was clear they were more accepting of the Queen Mother of the West.
Sun Wukong was amused and frustrated, was he just worth a few treasures?
However, this was a matter between women, and he found it inappropriate to intervene, having to let them handle it among themselves.
One thing Sun Wukong could be sure of was that if the people Nu Ba didn’t accept, Sun Wukong wouldn’t bring back.
Three days later, someone came to Kunlun.
When she appeared, everyone immediately felt like they were facing an enemy.
Seeing this scene, the newcomer’s face turned somewhat pale.
“I am not here to cause trouble. I just want to talk to him.”
Zixia pointed at Sun Wukong, biting her lip tightly.
Sun Wukong glanced at everyone and said, “Don’t be nervous, Zibaiqing is Zibaiqing, Zixia is Zixia. Don’t confuse them. Zixia is a friend of Old Sun.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, a bit of color returned to Zixia’s face.
Her eyes, when looking at Sun Wukong, were filled with gratitude.
With Sun Wukong’s acknowledgment, Zixia became much calmer.
Sun Wukong walked over, speaking to Zixia, “Don’t worry, everyone understands.”
Zixia forced a smile. When she looked at everyone again, she noticed that their hostility had lessened considerably.
But it was evident that everyone still had apprehensions about her.
Except for Sun Wukong, basically everyone else had some distance from her.
This made Zixia uncomfortable, having taken much effort to make friends in the Three Realms, yet due to her father, a gulf had formed that couldn’t be crossed as it once was.
“Could you accompany me for a walk?”
Zixia asked Sun Wukong, eyes filled with a hint of longing.
Sun Wukong nodded.
“Wukong…”
The Queen Mother of the West called out, wanting to caution Sun Wukong to be careful.
Having witnessed so many schemes, she feared that Zixia might scheme against Sun Wukong.
The so-called friends scheming against each other was all too common.
Some could even calculate against their own parents and children. Trusting others too much was indeed very foolish in the cultivation world.
Sun Wukong shook his head, indicating for her not to continue.
“I’ve said before, Zixia is a friend. You don’t need to worry.”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s serious expression, the Queen Mother of the West fell silent.
She was well aware that Sun Wukong was being earnest, and if she persisted, it would definitely displease Sun Wukong.
At that point, any remaining goodwill Sun Wukong had for her might completely dissipate.
This monkey was definitely a straight man, with quite a pronounced sense of male chauvinism.
The Queen Mother of the West wisely closed her mouth, saying no more.
Seeing Sun Wukong’s firm stance, even giving the Queen Mother of the West a stern look,
Zixia felt touched as she gave a slight apologetic look to the Queen Mother of the West and then left with Sun Wukong.
The two walked through the clouds in silence.
Sun Wukong simply accompanied her, saying nothing as well.
“I’m sorry.”
After a long while, Zixia finally spoke.
Sun Wukong suddenly smiled, asking Zixia in return.
“What are you sorry for?”
Zixia was slightly taken aback, not expecting Sun Wukong to ask so suddenly.
“My father…”
She hadn’t even finished speaking when Sun Wukong interrupted her.
