Chapter 970: Chapter 303: Primordial Bird Enters the Dream (8,000-word short chapter, 3rd update)_4
Originally, the Ancestral Dragon thought the Primordial Phoenix and the others wanted reconciliation because Lord Taishang wanted to accept Sun Wukong as a disciple.
Unexpectedly, Primordial Phoenix said such words, instantly making the Ancestral Dragon see her in a new light.
“Is this strange? It should have been understood long ago. If we cooperate with Emperor Jun and the others, we’re merely seeking skin from a tiger, being used by them to fight against the Heavenly Court, to fight against the Three Pure Ones. We’re not foolish; why should we fight for others?”
Saying this, Primordial Phoenix sneered and said disdainfully, “Moreover, today’s Great Emperor Ziwei is not as domineering as others; he merely wishes to protect the common people. As long as we don’t harm the living beings, the Heavenly Court won’t act against us. You and I wanted a peaceful era in The Primordial times, didn’t we? Now that the peaceful era has arrived, I want to overthrow it. Now thinking back, I’m truly stupid.”
At this point, Primordial Phoenix wore a self-mocking expression.
She indeed felt she was too foolish; what she had hoped for was such a prosperous and peaceful era.
Yet due to some ridiculous reasons, she clashed with the Heavenly Court.
Even possibly being used as a tool by others in the end.
Primordial Phoenix felt she and others had lived such long years, their age lived in vain.
Otherwise, how could they be so foolish?
“Haha.”
The Ancestral Dragon laughed, clapped his hands, and said, “Well said, you finally understood. I realized this long ago, which is why life is very comfortable now. As long as the Ziwei Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms a day, my Dragon Clan remains stable a day.”
Primordial Phoenix said with some bitterness, “Naturally, your Dragon Clan holds a high position in the Heavenly Court; the Heavenly Venerate of the Thunder Department is your son, and although Sun Wukong doesn’t hold a position in the Heavenly Court, he is the man who can influence the Great Emperor Ziwei. As long as the Heavenly Court exists for a day, your Dragon Clan won’t have any troubles.”
She truly envied them while silently cursing Roc and Peacock.
Both chose the Buddhist Sect. What happened? They all died, none survived.
Compared to the descendants of the Dragon Clan, they were simply too foolish.
The Dragon Clan first submitted to the Jade Emperor, and now follows the Great Emperor Ziwei. Plus, with the revival of the Ancestral Dragon, the Dragon Clan has significantly prospered.
Thinking of her own Phoenix Clan, Primordial Phoenix sighed in her heart.
Comparisons can sometimes drive people to despair.
Seeing Primordial Phoenix somewhat disappointed, the Ancestral Dragon then said, “However, rest assured about one thing: Sun Wukong won’t remain in closed-door cultivation for too long; he will definitely emerge before Emperor Jun and the others arrive.”
“Really?”
Primordial Phoenix’s eyes lit up.
Nodding, the Ancestral Dragon chuckled, “There’s some inside story I can’t tell you yet, but I’m certain that before Emperor Jun and the others return, Sun Wukong will definitely emerge.”
“That’s good.”
Primordial Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt assured.
Primordial Phoenix stayed at the Dragon Palace, waiting.
The wait lasted a year, and the affair of the Elder Lord accepting a disciple, from shocking to now skeptical,
More people spread rumors saying Sun Wukong wasn’t willing, and it was Lord Taishang indulging himself.
This statement immediately sparked an uproar.
However, the Daoist Sect disciples were furious, rebuking those people.
Even due to this, a few battles erupted.
Some admirers of Sun Wukong cursed Lord Taishang, organizing other admirers to battle the Daoist Immortals.
For a time, it caused significant damage.
Meanwhile, at Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong completed his breakthrough, but his Heart-Mind was pulled into another place.
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed coldly, staring at the person in front of him.
It was a woman, her figure graceful, her appearance exquisite.
She had only a few key areas covered; the rest was exposed.
She wore a wreath on her head, her gaze like water, looking at Sun Wukong with an alluring feel.
Sun Wukong was sure he didn’t know her, hadn’t seen her before.
Yet, she inexplicably brought his Heart-Mind here, like a dream, clearly knowing him, deliberately targeting him.
“Who are you?”
Sun Wukong asked.
He didn’t wait for her to speak first. Her provocative gaze made Sun Wukong dislike her.
Sun Wukong felt the woman before him even had a wanton feel.
“Little woman Yuanyuan greets the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, wishing the Great Sage eternal life.”
The woman bowed, her voice soft, tickling the ears of those who heard.
Yuanyuan?
Who?
Sun Wukong directly said, “Never heard of you, what do you want?”
He wasn’t polite, getting straight to the point.
The time for Emperor Jun and the others’ return wasn’t far; he didn’t want to waste time here, needing to make arrangements outside.
Otherwise, once Emperor Jun and the others returned, it would be easy to be caught off guard.
Therefore, Sun Wukong was very impatient now, wanting to shove this woman aside.
What rubbish Yuanyuan, dare to waste his time, that is an unpardonable sin.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Yuanyuan showed a hint of grievance on her face.
She sadly said, “I once saw the Great Saint from afar, was attracted to him, and fell for him. Never expected the Great Saint to treat me with such an attitude, truly making me sad.”
Sun Wukong furrowed his brows even tighter.
He coldly said, “Speak quickly if you have something to say, fart quickly if you have to, don’t waste my time here.”
