486: Chapter 224 Self-Destruct_3 486: Chapter 224 Self-Destruct_3 Lu Dongbin’s expression was cold as he stared at Wu Gang.
Actually, he was also saving Wu Gang’s life.
If Lu Dongbin intervened, Wu Gang still had a chance to live.
If Sun Wukong became annoyed, whether Wu Gang lived or died was uncertain.
“Scram, you ant-like creature, spouting nonsense before us.”
Casually tossing Wu Gang aside, Lu Dongbin’s face was full of disdain.
Even after being spoken to like this, Wu Gang dared not show any dissatisfaction.
He shrank his neck and ultimately said nothing.
Lu Dongbin had become a Heavenly Venerate, and he was not someone Wu Gang could afford to offend.
At that moment, Nishang Fairy transmitted a message: “Go out and inquire a bit, then you’ll realize the foolishness of your actions.
You’re the first in the Three Realms to dare obstruct the Great Sage.”
After speaking, Nishang Fairy walked in with Sun Wukong and the others.
Wu Gang was somewhat puzzled.
He didn’t think Sun Wukong was anything special.
Instead, he thought the truly formidable one was Lu Dongbin, after all, he was a Heavenly Venerate.
However, he heeded Nishang Fairy’s words and went out to inquire.
When his acquaintance, an immortal, told Wu Gang about Sun Wukong’s recent deeds, he was stunned.
Establishing the Heavenly Court, battling the Great Heavenly Venerate, executing Thunderous Heavenly Venerate of the Nine Heavens, fighting three of the Four Heavenly Kings, aiding Great Emperor Ziwei, slaying the Longevity Great Emperor, and so on.
So many events, each one beyond Wu Gang’s imagination.
Now he understood why Nishang Fairy had scolded him and why Lu Dongbin was even more impulsive than Sun Wukong.
This wasn’t bullying him but helping him to save his life.
If it weren’t for the two of them, he wouldn’t even know how he’d have died by now.
Seeing Wu Gang’s troubled face, the immortal couldn’t help but ask, “You haven’t offended the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, have you?”
After speaking, that immortal distanced himself somewhat from Wu Gang.
To offend the Great Sage Equalling Heaven today was definitely cursed, and nobody wanted to be near him.
Where Wu Gang dared admit he had offended Sun Wukong, if he really said so, those immortals would probably ignore him forever.
A thought crossed his mind, and he slightly smiled, saying, “Of course not, I’m just curious about the Great Sage’s affairs.
You certainly don’t know that the Great Sage is currently visiting our Moon Palace.”
The immortal then breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of envy as he said, “Nowadays the Ziwei Heavenly Court reigns supreme in the Three Realms, and Great Emperor Ziwei and the Great Sage have a deep friendship.
If you could speak with the Great Sage, your future would be boundless.
Have you had a conversation with him?”
Wu Gang’s heart wavered; of course, he had had a conversation, but it wasn’t friendly.
He awkwardly smiled and said, “Of course, I have.
The Great Sage and I have a good relationship.”
The immortal immediately looked envious and said, “Then congratulations to you, your future is boundless.”
Wu Gang felt bitter in his heart.
He had offended Sun Wukong so grievously, and whether he had a future at all was truly unbearable.
Leaving Wu Gang aside, Sun Wukong met Lord Taiyin.
Both sides greeted each other, and Nishang Fairy was about to leave.
But Sun Wukong called out to stop her, and Nishang Fairy’s heart skipped, already guessing what Sun Wukong intended to do.
Indeed, Sun Wukong said, “Lord, Old Sun asks a favor of you.”
Lord Taiyin smiled and said, “Please, speak.”
Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, and in dealing with Sun Wukong, she dared not behave as casually as before.
Nowadays, Sun Wukong’s reputation was rising, his strength and renown far above Lord Taiyin.
Everyone knew that Great Emperor Ziwei was the Supreme of the Three Realms, and Sun Wukong was his trusted confidant.
Moreover, Great Emperor Ziwei’s rise to Supreme of the Three Realms was also thanks to Sun Wukong.
Without Sun Wukong, he couldn’t have reached that position.
Therefore, in the hearts of the mighty of the Three Realms, the weight of Sun Wukong was perhaps not lower than that of Great Emperor Ziwei.
Mainly because the two were closely allied, and if there was any issue, they would surely stand together.
Provoking either one of them was tantamount to provoking both.
Thus, facing Sun Wukong, Lord Taiyin lost her initial composure and became even more polite.
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, pointed at Nishang Fairy, and said, “My brother, Marshal Tianpeng, shares mutual affection with Nishang Fairy.
I would like to ask Lord Taiyin to preside over granting Nishang Fairy to my brother.”
It turned out to be this matter.
Lord Taiyin pondered for a moment but did not immediately agree.
Seeing Lord Taiyin’s expression, Sun Wukong was slightly puzzled.
He asked in surprise, “Lord, is there anything inappropriate?”
Lord Taiyin gravely said, “I have heard that Marshal Tianpeng has already revived his deceased wife; to let Nishang marry him now seems inappropriate.”
That was the reason.
Sun Wukong had almost forgotten it.
He chuckled and said, “Lord Taiyin may not know that my brother is deeply loyal and has learned the art of enduring battles.
I guarantee that if Nishang Fairy marries him, she will not be wronged.”
Lord Taiyin glanced at Nishang Fairy, who looked nervous yet somewhat pleased.
She hesitated slightly, then said, “Since the Great Sage has spoken thus, I agree to the match.
Please have Marshal Tianpeng come to propose formally in a few days.
Of course, if there is a decree from Great Emperor Ziwei granting the marriage, that would be best.”
Seeing that Lord Taiyin agreed, Sun Wukong showed a smile.
He cheerfully said, “Well said, Old Sun will request that Great Emperor Ziwei issue the Dao Magic Decree, it’s not difficult at all.”
Upon seeing Sun Wukong be so forthright, Lord Taiyin finally showed a satisfied smile.
She looked at Nishang Fairy and said, “You girl, don’t you thank the Great Sage already?”
