Chapter 1254: Chapter 400: A Sense of Loss
“Your father is your father, you are you, I consider you a friend, and it has nothing to do with your father.”
Sun Wukong said in a deep voice.
Zixia’s eyes sparkled, she stared at Sun Wukong, suddenly smiled brightly, and said, “Then I’m relieved.”
Her mood instantly brightened up a lot, this smile was like a hundred flowers blooming.
“I can assure you, no matter how my father relates to you, I will definitely not make a move against you or those around you.”
Zixia said firmly.
This is the only thing she can give back to Sun Wukong, knowing how much he cares about those around him.
Thus, not making a move against those near Sun Wukong is indeed a very good form of repayment.
Sun Wukong reached out and suddenly held Zixia’s hand.
Zixia was a bit flustered, instinctively wanting to withdraw her hand.
But seeing how tightly Sun Wukong held her, she didn’t continue to pull away, only a flush clouded her face.
Sun Wukong did not notice Zixia’s embarrassment, he smiled and said, “We are friends, and it’s always the same, if in the future you are in danger, I will do my utmost to ensure you are unharmed.”
“Thank you.”
Zixia said.
She was very clear that her father was dancing on a tightrope.
Collaborating with enemies from Beyond the Domain would certainly have offended the Three Pure Ones.
Even if enemies from Beyond the Domain invade and overthrow the Three Realms, her father may not have a good end.
Traitors are unwelcome everywhere.
Zixia left, departing Kunlun.
Sun Wukong felt somewhat lost.
With Zixia’s departure, meeting again would not be easy.
Sun Wukong still cared a lot about Zixia as a friend.
Sight unseen, Sun Wukong somehow felt fondness for Zixia, appreciating her greatly.
Now, however, due to the circumstances of their respective camps, they nearly stood opposed; although they’re still friends, how would they interact next time?
Even Sun Wukong could not guarantee, amid great ambition, that any romantic feelings could truly matter.
Returning to Kunlun, noticing Sun Wukong was somewhat disheartened, Nu Ba whispered, “Great Saint, if you truly like Miss Zixia and don’t want to be her enemy, why not invite her to Huaguo Mountain? If she has feelings for you, she will surely agree.”
Sun Wukong raised his head, looking surprised.
He immediately understood that Nu Ba had misunderstood.
“Zixia and I are friends, nothing more.”
Nu Ba was dumbfounded, somewhat amused and exasperated.
“If you’re friends, Great Saint, why are you so melancholy?”
Sun Wukong sighed and said, “Old Sun values friends the most. That Zixia may be a woman, but she has more courage than most men. Alas, she’s a woman; otherwise, I would have sworn brotherhood with her.”
Nu Ba and others wore strange expressions.
Queen Mother of the West touched her forehead, feeling faint.
In her heart, Sun Wukong seemed promising, but how?
How did Nu Ba and Dragon Girl get accepted by Sun Wukong?
Why did she feel that getting accepted by this monkey was utterly impossible?
It’s like Sun Wukong was completely oblivious.
“Alright, we ought to return to Huaguo Mountain tomorrow. Queen Mother, if anything happens, contact Old Sun or Eastern King immediately. The situation in the Three Realms is becoming increasingly chaotic; I’m worried someone will target you.”
Sun Wukong said seriously.
His concern wasn’t unnecessary.
Everyone knows the connection between Queen Mother and Sun Wukong, and their enemies might target her.
This is very likely, even though Queen Mother is Supreme.
In any era, Supreme is considered strong.
But if the Heavenly Emperor acts against Queen Mother, she might be in great danger.
“Are you worried about me?”
Queen Mother’s eyes lit up.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “Yes, Old Sun cares for all friends around.”
Queen Mother cast a glance at Sun Wukong, feeling disappointed.
Could the monkey be less blunt and make her happy for a moment?
“Don’t worry, I’ve lived between heaven and earth this long and naturally have ways to survive. Even if the Heavenly Emperor targets me, I have confidence in escaping.”
Queen Mother said casually.
“I hope so, don’t be careless.”
Sun Wukong frowned, feeling she was too casual.
He didn’t say more, only reminded her.
Queen Mother nodded, not wishing to speak.
Despite remaining concerned, Sun Wukong eventually departed.
Kunlun wasn’t his home; Huaguo Mountain was.
As for his relationship with Queen Mother, for now, it was only nominal.
Upon returning to Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong showed a contented expression.
This felt like home, so different from Kunlun.
Golden nest, silver nest, nothing compares to one’s own doghouse; that’s the truth here.
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth also cheered, relaxing considerably.
Home felt comfortable; in Kunlun, they felt a bit constrained.
Returning home lest for two days when Green Ox arrived.
He brought Lord Taishang’s summons, asking Sun Wukong to visit Doushuai Temple.
“Not going, no time.”
Sun Wukong lay on Nu Ba’s lap, enjoying the grapes she peeled for him, while Dragon Girl gently massaged him, almost making him moan in delight.
What’s called life? This is life.
To recline on a beauty’s lap, to wield power over all; Sun Wukong had nearly achieved it.
Beauty, power, he lacked neither.
With the two most beautiful Fairies at his side, friends with Heavenly Emperor, his words are almost equal to Great Emperor Ziwei’s.
With such a pleasant life, why meet Lord Taishang with the old bull-nose? He’s not a peach, no allure for Sun Wukong.
Green Ox grimaced, scratching his head in confusion.
Someone dared refuse Lord Taishang’s call.
By anyone else, Green Ox would have exploded.
But it’s Sun Wukong, now the most in-demand figure in the Three Realms.
He’s quasi-brother to Lord Taishang, close friend of the Heavenly Emperor.
With such a man, Green Ox had no temper.
Thinking it over, Green Ox said, “Lord wants to discuss Haotian God’s matters.”
Sun Wukong’s heart stirred, his expression grew serious.
His eyes fixated on Green Ox, Sun Wukong’s gaze was piercing.
“Speak.”
Green Ox found himself slightly intimidated by Sun Wukong’s stare,
mainly worried the monkey might explode and beat him.
Green Ox was no match for Sun Wukong now.
“It’s said Haotian will return, and Lord Taishang wants to discuss how to handle him.”
Green Ox spoke straightforwardly, not daring to embellish.
Sun Wukong eyed Green Ox, his golden eyes pressured him, seeming almost penetrating.
Green Ox swallowed nervously, clearly tense.
“To kill Haotian, surely Lord Taishang doesn’t need help? Tell the Lord he can do whatever he wants; don’t ask Old Sun, Old Sun’s not interested.”
Said Sun Wukong, sending a wave of Divine Power upon Green Ox.
Green Ox was instantly transported from Huaguo Mountain to hover above the East Sea.
He wore a wry face; this monkey gave him no face.
