Chapter 976: Chapter 305 Heavy Losses_3
At least we won’t be forced into opposing the Heavenly Court, and by then it’ll be impossible to smooth things over.
Thinking of this, Primordial Phoenix felt relieved.
She smiled and said, “I came here just for the Great Saint, whether you’re a disciple of Lord Taishang or not has nothing to do with me.”
Sun Wukong smiled, knowing that Primordial Phoenix wasn’t being entirely honest.
However, the fact that she said this indicated she had come to a realization.
Sun Wukong didn’t dwell on it and said with a smile, “Since that’s the case, we’re all friends from now on. You’re welcome to visit Huaguo Mountain anytime, but we have a large population of juniors, so it’s best if you bring some gifts along.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Primordial Phoenix was slightly taken aback,
She immediately understood Sun Wukong’s implication, that he just wanted to extort more good stuff from her and the others.
However, since she had already gotten Sun Wukong’s assurance, she definitely wouldn’t come back to Huaguo Mountain,
At least not to be extorted.
At this thought, Primordial Phoenix couldn’t help but snort coldly. This Sun Wukong, truly not very upright.
“No problem, a few gifts are nothing. If you like, I can send more over later. Primordial Phoenix probably won’t mind sending some small trinkets to the juniors from time to time.”
The Ancestral Dragon laughed as he spoke.
Hearing the Ancestral Dragon’s words, the corner of Primordial Phoenix’s mouth twitched.
She was aware that Sun Wukong was married into the Dragon Clan.
But there was no connection between Sun Wukong and herself.
If the Ancestral Dragon wants to send gifts, why involve her?
Although feeling displeased, Primordial Phoenix forced a smile and said, “The Ancestral Dragon is correct; we will definitely visit often.”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled gently and said, “In that case, Old Sun will await the three of you. How about this, in three days’ time, I’ll host a banquet at Huaguo Mountain, and you three can come again.”
The corner of Primordial Phoenix’s mouth twitched as she quickly declined, “We don’t mind coming, just worried about troubling the Great Saint. You’ve just come out of closed-door cultivation, probably have a lot to do, we shouldn’t disturb you more.”
Sun Wukong waved his hand and laughed, “No worries, I don’t have that many things to do. Feel free to come, Old Sun will be waiting for you. It’s settled, three days from now you must come, otherwise, it’ll mean you don’t want to be friends with Old Sun.”
Not being friends means being enemies.
Primordial Phoenix naturally understood this logic.
She looked speechless, sighing inwardly.
This monkey is indeed too greedy.
However, Primordial Phoenix also understood that today she came seeking something from Sun Wukong, so being under his roof, she naturally had to oblige.
Though a bit frustrated, Primordial Phoenix still said, “We will definitely attend the banquet in three days.”
Only then did Sun Wukong smile, raising his cup to Primordial Phoenix, “Thank you, Elder Phoenix, for giving Old Sun this honor. Please drink this cup.”
They drank together, but the expression on Primordial Phoenix’s face was not pleasant.
In three days, she would be extorted by Sun Wukong for quite a bit again.
Thinking of this, how could she smile?
Primordial Phoenix left in a somewhat dazed state, lamenting why she thought to provoke Sun Wukong. Had she known he was such bad luck, she absolutely wouldn’t have.
The Phoenix Lineage, unlike the Dragon Clan, may have some foundation but compared to the Dragon Clan owning the Four Seas, there’s no comparison.
Giving away forty chests of treasures felt like cutting off a piece of herself to Primordial Phoenix.
The Ancestral Dragon, however, seemed unbothered and glanced at Primordial Phoenix, unable to resist teasing, “Friend Primordial Phoenix, why the sour face? They’re just some trinkets. What’s there to mind?”
Primordial Phoenix glanced at him and coldly laughed, “You don’t care because the Dragon Clan is wealthy. I don’t have your Dragon Clan’s grand spirit. Besides, you didn’t give to others, it’s your Dragon Clan’s son-in-law. It’s like moving from the left hand to the right, but I’m not the same.”
The Ancestral Dragon smiled slightly, not getting angry.
Who told them to provoke Sun Wukong in the first place.
If not for that, how would they be extorted by Sun Wukong for so much?
