Chapter 931: Chapter 297: Innate Restraint_5
Everyone was amused by Ying Hook’s words.
They also knew that, actually, what Ying Hook said was not wrong,
the problem was that the few people he couldn’t defeat were basically all sitting here.
So, it was awkward.
“Alright, we were just joking with you. Hurry and take a seat, why fuss over so much with your own family?”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Patting Sun Wukong on the shoulder, Ying Hook sighed and said, “You’re still the most straightforward among us monkeys. You invite me to fight and also help me out of a jam, you’re a good brother.”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In fact, what the Empress of The Primordial said earlier was merely inviting Sun Wukong for a drink,
but everyone knew that the Empress of The Primordial likely encountered some trouble.
She was embarrassed to ask for help directly, so she invited Sun Wukong for a drink.
If they guessed correctly, her enemy should arrive soon.
Everyone here was very clever and quickly figured it out.
However, it became a bit awkward when Ying Hook said it out loud.
The Empress felt somewhat embarrassed, felt awkward.
Jie stood up and apologized to Sun Wukong and the others, saying: “Brothers, I’m sorry, actually my mother had no other choice but to come up with this idea. The Wood God and others are forcing us to surrender, we are weak, and can only ask you for help to fight back against them.”
Sun Wukong’s heart moved; it turned out the person the Empress of The Primordial wanted him to deal with was actually the Wood God.
Seeing the Empress looking a bit uncomfortable and Jie apologizing to them.
Sun Wukong laughed and said, “Brother, your words are a bit serious. Didn’t we already say? We are allies; I still expect you to help us deal with Haotian God. Naturally, we won’t let the Wood God bully you. If they dare come, we will definitely drive them back.”
Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed slightly, he said coldly: “I know the Wood God’s idea, wanting to become the Supreme of the Three Realms, it’s just laughable. Does he think that having strong power is enough to become the Supreme of the Three Realms? If he dares to come today, he will certainly not leave easily.”
He was also very strong-willed, even though he was not Supreme, he showed no fear when facing them.
Seeing that both Yang Jian and Sun Wukong had spoken, Ying Hook also said, “My strength can’t compare to the two brothers, but I have an Undying Body, currently not weaker than Sub-Paramount. I think I can also tussle with Supreme for a bit; I haven’t fought a Supreme yet, let me give it a try today.”
The three showed no signs of concern, instead comforting them.
A trace of emotion flashed in Jie’s eyes.
He never had such an experience, being cared for and supported unconditionally.
Even the Empress of The Primordial felt a stir, her gaze towards the three became softer.
She had lived from the primordial times until now, seeing too much deceit and selfishness, and she didn’t think too highly of the qualities of living beings.
But, Sun Wukong and the others had still earned her trust.
In the Empress of The Primordial’s view, Sun Wukong and the others were simply perfect.
To have such people as friends and allies was truly a blessing.
“Great, forming an alliance with you all is the smartest decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
The Empress of The Primordial said with a smile.
Sun Wukong smiled lightly and said, “That’s what Old Sun thinks too.”
At this point, everyone was very happy.
Ying Hook raised his glass, laughing, and said, “I misspoke earlier, I’ll punish myself with three cups.”
He directly downed three cups of Immortal Brew, and his face turned red immediately.
“The strength of this wine is really strong.”
Ying Hook said in surprise.
Sun Wukong and the others also took a sip, all showing surprised expressions at the same time.
The strength of this wine is not only strong, it can be described as terrifying.
After one drink, they felt as if their whole body was burning.
No wonder Ying Hook got like that after three cups.
However, he didn’t really get drunk. After all, he knew what they were there for today.
If he got drunk, it wouldn’t be good and he would miss more exciting things.
They just took a sip, not drinking too much.
Because surely there would be something to do later.
Since the Wood God came, he wouldn’t leave without showing him something.
Did he really think there were no experts in this world who could balance him?
Sun Wukong’s heart moved, suddenly said to Yang Jian, “He also came?”
“Yes, couldn’t persuade him otherwise.”
Yang Jian gave a bitter smile.
Everyone was a bit puzzled, not knowing who they were talking about.
Which ‘he’?
Yet Ying Hook seemed thoughtful, as if he had figured something out.
Ying Hook said with a smile, “This will be interesting.”
Now only the Empress and her son didn’t know, they looked at each other as Sun Wukong and the others spoke in riddles, making them very confused.
Who came, after all?
But, now wasn’t the time to ask these questions.
From Sun Wukong and the others’ expressions, they could tell that the ‘he’ they spoke of was not an enemy.
In that case, they had one more ally.
The Empress of The Primordial’s gaze towards Sun Wukong changed, compared to Yinghuo, this man was countless times stronger.
To think she once fancied someone like Yinghuo, now it seemed utterly ridiculous.
However, she quickly withdrew her gaze.
Her admiration for Sun Wukong was merely that, certainly not considering finding Jie another stepfather.
Even if Jie agreed, Sun Wukong wouldn’t agree.,
They talked about various things, discussing some secret knowledge of the universe.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were greatly intrigued; it wasn’t just the Empress’s insights, even the secrets Ying Hook knew were so many, to the point of astounding them.
