Capítulo 1269: Chapter 415: Zibaiqing Has Arrived
Sun Wukong called out internally several times, but Nuwa did not respond.
However, the Primordial Demonic Qi continued to supply mana, entering the place where Nuwa was resting, actively helping her recover the depleted energy.
Sun Wukong: “…”
He had never seen the Primordial Demonic Qi work so hard.
At this moment, Sun Wukong realized that it was definitely not just because of the Root of Creation. The Primordial Demonic Qi’s diligence must have other reasons.
At this time, the Primordial Demonic Qi conveyed a thought.
Sun Wukong suddenly understood.
As it turned out, the Primordial Demonic Qi believed that Nuwa had great potential and might be able to break through the Creation Realm and transcend in the future.
Meanwhile, the Root of Immortality also had the potential to cultivate into an Innate Taoist Body and become a truly independent life.
But, it required the assistance of a powerful transcendent being.
Nuwa had that potential, and naturally, the Primordial Demonic Qi wanted to please her, which is why it was being so proactive.
Upon understanding all this, Sun Wukong nearly wanted to crush this Primordial Demonic Qi.
Wasn’t this guy too worldly? He even knew to invest early.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong also considered that perhaps he should communicate well with Goddess Nuwa, to deepen their relationship. That way, before he matures, he would have a great ally.
“If you have that potential, I would be just as enthusiastic.”
The Primordial Demonic Qi conveyed another thought.
Sun Wukong snorted coldly; if it didn’t please him now, there would be times when Primordial Demonic Qi would regret it.
He no longer talked nonsense with the Primordial Demonic Qi. Initially, Sun Wukong also wanted the Primordial Demonic Qi to help Nuwa recover her energy, and now that the Primordial Demonic Qi was willing to do it, he naturally didn’t worry.
As thoughts rotated in his mind, Sun Wukong also operated the Mysterious Skill to recover his energy.
The Primordial Demonic Qi was really treacherous. It left not a bit of mana for Sun Wukong. After Nuwa’s Primordial Spirit exited, it directly retracted all mana.
So Sun Wukong’s mana within his body was severely depleted.
However, he was not anxious and directly operated the Mysterious Skill, drawing from the Primordial Demonic Qi.
Even unwilling, the Primordial Demonic Qi had to comply; only it wasn’t too proactive.
The Azure Dragon and others also recovered for a moment before speaking: “We should thank the Great Saint for today’s events. If the Great Saint hadn’t intervened, the four of us siblings might have perished here.”
The Vermilion Bird was particularly ashamed, recalling her previous actions, she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow into.
Although she had already acknowledged her mistakes before, thinking back on it still made her feel embarrassed.
“Great Saint, I wronged you before, it was my mistake, I misunderstood you. If the Great Saint has any tasks in the future, just inform me. If it’s something the Vermilion Bird can do, I assure you I won’t decline.”
Vermilion Bird had a fiery nature but was quite forthright. After acknowledging the mistake, she made a promise.
Sun Wukong chuckled and wasn’t angry. He quite admired Vermilion Bird’s temperament.
You must know Nezha’s character, which is even worse than the Vermilion Bird’s, yet they are still friends.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong said: “It’s just some misunderstandings; I don’t take it to heart. Vermilion Bird, you shouldn’t mind it too much. From now on, we’re friends; no need for tasks, just mutual support.”
“The Great Saint is broad-minded; Vermilion Bird admires him.”
Vermilion Bird sighed, looking at Sun Wukong with eyes full of admiration.
Her personality leaned towards straightforwardness.
Once she recognized her mistake, she was more forthright than others.
With misunderstandings resolved, both parties could become friends.
“All right.”
Vermilion Bird agreed readily.
Seeing this situation, the White Tiger was very pleased.
She had been worried that there was animosity between Vermilion Bird and Sun Wukong, as both were her friends.
Now, the misunderstanding was resolved, and she no longer had to worry.
The Azure Dragon was even a bit jealous, as Vermilion Bird didn’t look at him with such admiration, but he was their leader.
“With matters here resolved, Old Sun should return; otherwise, the people at Huaguo Mountain might worry.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
He bid farewell to everyone and then rode the Somersault Cloud away.
“The Great Saint is truly a man.”
Vermilion Bird sighed.
Azure Dragon glanced at Vermilion Bird, a bit worried she might fall for him.
But soon, Vermilion Bird added: “Speaking of masculine charm, among the Three Realms, the Great Saint ranks second.”
“Who’s first?”
Xuanwu asked in surprise.
Seeing how Vermilion Bird recognized Sun Wukong, he didn’t expect she only ranked him second.
Who is the number one in the Three Realms?
Not only Xuanwu was curious, but Azure Dragon and the others were filled with curiosity.
“Naturally, it’s Azure Dragon, our leader.”
Vermilion Bird said matter-of-factly.
Unable to conceal his smile, Azure Dragon confirmed Vermilion Bird was not infatuated.
After all, her viewpoint was rather correct.
…
Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, and as soon as he entered, everyone crowded around.
“Great Saint, you’re unharmed; you scared us to death. For several days, we couldn’t sense your presence, truly worried something had happened to you.”
Lu Dongbin breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone at Huaguo Mountain knew Sun Wukong represented cohesion there; his presence was the cornerstone of its existence.
If Sun Wukong fell, Huaguo Mountain wouldn’t exist anymore.
His presence vanished among the Three Realms, which had frightened everyone.
Sun Wukong was slightly stunned, not expecting this.
His aura disappeared in the Three Realms, likely due to the Purple Emperor’s Tomb’s barrier.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong laughed and said: “Don’t worry, I didn’t run into trouble; I just went somewhere and did a few things.”
Seeing Sun Wukong not elaborating, everyone refrained from asking further.
They knew anything Sun Wukong could share, he wouldn’t hold back.
If he couldn’t share certain things with them, asking would only make him uncomfortable.
So, everyone didn’t press him further.
“The Great Saint’s return is the best news. Let’s host a banquet in welcome.”
Lu Dongbin suggested with a smile.
A banquet commenced at Huaguo Mountain, and everyone drank and chatted merrily.
Just then, someone appeared outside Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed; it was Zibaiqing, surprisingly he came.
At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon appeared above the East Sea, looking at Zibaiqing with wary eyes.
The Ancestral Dragon was second only to the Heavenly Emperor in power, while Zibaiqing was a true Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse.
Confronting Zibaiqing directly, the Ancestral Dragon would naturally not be a match.
However, he couldn’t just watch Zibaiqing threaten Huaguo Mountain.
With Sun Wukong teamed up with him, whatever Zibaiqing intended to do wouldn’t be easy.
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon and Sun Wukong tense, Zibaiqing smiled and said: “Everyone, I mean no harm. I’m just here to ask something. I hope the Great Saint can inform me.”
Sun Wukong was internally stirred but remained outwardly impassive, saying indifferently: “Whatever you ask, I won’t tell you.”
