713: Chapter 255 Displeasure_5 713: Chapter 255 Displeasure_5 “Do you remember the Supreme Ancestral Demon from a few days ago?
I saw that he felt a kinship with the Great Saint and wanted to make his acquaintance.
Now that you have offended the Great Saint, I wonder how you will manage to navigate the Three Realms.”
“Of course, I won’t even start on the relationship between the Great Saint and the Great Emperor Ziwei.
It was the Great Emperor Ziwei who supported the Great Saint in rising to his position.
The trust between them has reached the point where they can make decisions for each other.
According to the Great Emperor Ziwei’s pace in cultivation, in at most two hundred years, or perhaps even just a few decades, he could become a Supreme-level power.
Moreover, as the Supreme of the Three Realms and with the support of The Three Pure Ones, you all should think this over.”
Ao Zhan’s words left all his elder brothers dumbstruck.
What is there to think about?
They might as well beg for forgiveness themselves.
They all knew that Sun Wukong currently held significant sway in the Three Realms, but they had not realized that Sun Wukong possessed so many important identities.
In fact, the primary reason they had earlier shown disdain toward Nu Ba and others was that they had not taken Sun Wukong seriously.
Otherwise, they would never have acted in such a manner.
They were expressing their dissatisfaction toward Sun Wukong through their attitudes.
If they had respected Sun Wukong enough, even if they were displeased, they wouldn’t have acted this way and would have considered Sun Wukong’s feelings.
Sun Wukong inviting the two women over truly showed that he treated members of the Dragon Clan as his own people.
Unfortunately, the people of the Dragon Clan lacked this awareness.
Of course, if it were only Ao Zhan and the others, it wouldn’t have come to this.
“You few, go apologize to Sun Wukong, and make sure your attitudes are sincere,” said the Ancestral Dragon, pointing at his descendants.
Eight sons of the Ancestral Dragon looked at each other, each seeing the helplessness in the other’s eyes.
For them, with their statuses, to apologize to a junior like Sun Wukong—and for all eight to do so together—might very well bring shame to the entire Dragon Clan.
Seeing their expressions, Ao Zhan knew well what they were thinking.
He gave a faint smile and said, “If you brothers are thinking this way, then there’s no need to go.
I believe if you do it reluctantly, you might end up offending the Great Saint even more severely, which wouldn’t benefit our Dragon Clan at all.”
Seeing them hanging their heads, the Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly, somewhat disappointed.
He snorted again and said, “Get out.”
The eight Dragon Sons exchanged glances and quickly left.
Ao Zhan also saluted his father and turned to leave.
Now that his father’s matter was resolved, he needed to return to oversee the Thunder Department.
After all, he was a Heavenly Venerate of the Thunder Department, and back in the Heavenly Court, managing the department’s affairs was his duty—no one could say anything about that.
The Ancestral Dragon knew he was displeased and did not try to keep him.
Taotie and two others also bid farewell to the Ancestral Dragon, for they wanted to go out for a walk.
In reality, the return of their father and elder brothers made them feel stifled and uncomfortable instead.
Even though they were happy about their revival, they now felt somewhat suffocated.
As they were not highly regarded bastards, it was natural that they did not feel at ease,
and thus they had to be cautious in their actions, not daring to be too ostentatious.
This suffocation made them no longer want to stay with the Dragon Clan.
The Ancestral Dragon waved his hand, not particularly caring where they went.
In
his heart, the only ones he truly cared about were his legitimate sons.
Though he wasn’t necessarily harsh to Taotie and the others, he didn’t pay them much attention either.
When Taotie and his companions left, they headed straight for Huaguo Mountain.
After Sun Wukong left the Dragon Palace, he caught up with Nu Ba and Fairy Fan Yao.
The two women, seeing that Sun Wukong had also come out, immediately showed apologetic expressions.
“Great Saint, we are sorry, we couldn’t hold back,” said the women.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said with a cold laugh, “Hold back for what?
Who needs their nonsense?
You are Old Sun’s people; them showing you disdain is showing Old Sun disdain, and how could Old Sun tolerate them?”
Before they could speak, Sun Wukong continued with a smile, “Never mind them, let’s go home.
From now on, Old Sun won’t be visiting the Dragon Clan anymore.
Sorry you had to go through that.”
At Sun Wukong’s words, the two women smiled.
They didn’t feel slighted at all; instead, they were quite happy.
This showed that the Great Saint cared about their feelings.
“Right, we’ll never go to that Bird Dragon Clan again.
They really aren’t decent—if it weren’t for the fact that we couldn’t beat them, I would’ve…”
“Crushed their eggs.”
Fan Yao was initially saying this but felt a bit embarrassed when Sun Wukong chimed in.
That was indeed her intention.
“Tsk tsk, Fairy Fan Yao, aren’t you being a bit too cruel?
We haven’t offended you,” said Taotie, his voice tinged with teasing.
Seeing Taotie and the others appear, Fan Yao didn’t care and glanced at Taotie, “You aren’t even from the Dragon Clan.”
Taotie and his companions stiffened.
Strictly speaking, they were of the Dragon Breed, but not of the Dragon Clan.
Yet, as sons of the Ancestral Dragon, they had never felt any different from the Dragon Clan.
Now hearing Fan Yao say this, they felt as if they had received a critical hit.
“That hits hard.”
“Shrimp dumpling, pork heart.”
“Tears welling up.”
Taotie and his companions each said a phrase.
Though they said so, they really didn’t mind.
Taotie approached Sun Wukong and said with a laugh, “Let’s go have some drinks at Huaguo Mountain.
We’ve decided too, we’re going to spend more time outside and no longer stay with the Dragon Clan.”
Qiuniu, usually gentle, now showed a hint of anger as well.
“Indeed, we’re not going back, that hits hard.”
Xiezhi sighed deeply.
Aside from right after their revival, when the Ancestral Dragon had glanced at them twice, he had almost completely ignored them since then.
They were all sons of the Ancestral Dragon, and they felt their reverence and devotion to their father were even greater than that of the other brothers.
