Bluebird had thought that after hearing her explanation, Sun Wukong would definitely be scared or even a bit worried.
However, he didn’t think that way at all; instead, he felt somewhat disappointed, thinking it was a pity he hadn’t stolen them all.
This left Bluebird speechless, not knowing what to say anymore.
All she could say was that Sun Wukong was highly skilled and bold, or perhaps just too carefree.
After planting all the Spiritual Medicine, Sun Wukong scratched his head, wondering how to care for them.
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on Bluebird.
Bluebird instantly understood Sun Wukong’s intent; she directly said, “Great Saint, rest assured, I’ll take care of these.
I often manage the medicine fields in Kunlun.”
Only then did Sun Wukong feel relieved and turned his gaze to He Xiangu and Fan Yao.
“You two follow Bluebird and learn; once Bluebird returns to Kunlun, the task of managing the medicine fields will be entrusted to you.”
Fan Yao and He Xiangu exchanged glances and agreed with a smile.
Sun Wukong had thought everything through, considering that Bluebird would eventually return to Kunlun.
The medicine field still needed management.
These two women, being the most meticulous, were the best choices.
After Lady Dragon of Wealth and Nu Ba left, there were only three women left in Huaguo Mountain.
White Tiger was not considered; that female tiger was too adorably clueless, and now no one knew where she had gone off to.
It was fortunate she was a top Great Heavenly Venerate, or else Sun Wukong would have gone out to find her already, fearing for her safety.
After that, Sun Wukong set up defenses, even including powerful deadly traps.
If someone accidentally wandered in, they would be automatically transported out.
But if someone tried to force their way in, they would definitely be struck down by thunder.
Even those stronger than Sun Wukong would not be able to enter in a short span of time.
Having done all that, Sun Wukong further fortified the defenses of Huaguo Mountain, enhancing its protective spells by at least tenfold.
Seeing this, Han Xiangzi couldn’t help but ask, “Great Saint, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?”
Sun Wukong shook his head, saying earnestly, “We need to learn from others’ failures.
Kunlun is so powerful, yet it was still robbed; Huaguo Mountain doesn’t even have a Great Heavenly Venerate guarding it.
These measures are for the sake of Huaguo Mountain’s Divine Medicine.
After all, as the old saying goes, it’s not the stealing but the coveting we should fear, and it’s absolutely right to prevent troubles before they arise.”
Everyone was speechless.
In the end, who exactly was the thief?
A thief worrying about being coveted, truly Sun Wukong was the first of his kind.
Next, Sun Wukong had Bluebird pick some of the Spiritual Medicine, all excellent stuff for invigoration and vitality.
They each took a portion, preparing to attend the banquet at the Heavenly Court.
Bluebird harvested the Spiritual Medicine, leaving some roots so they could grow back.
“Great Saint, with so many invigorating Divine Medicines, aren’t you worried about causing problems for Marshal Tianpeng?”
Sun Wukong replied, “What’s there to worry about, that lsp, always busy as a bee, I’m more worried he’s not getting enough.”
Of course, this was just a casual remark.
Marshal Tianpeng, being of Heavenly Venerate physique and knowledgeable in the art of endurance, had little to worry about in this aspect.
Of course, everything has its limits.
If it really became excessive, then such substances would be necessary.
In Sun Wukong’s view, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Ksitigarbha took the initiative to stay behind and guard Huaguo Mountain.
He worried that if he and others were gone, the Queen Mother of the West would come causing trouble, but he could at least hold her off for a while.
Otherwise, the treasures that Sun Wukong had just acquired would be seized back by the Queen Mother of the West.
The Spiritual Medicine that had been left behind was enough to sustain the cultivation of all immortals of Huaguo Mountain, even with some to spare.
For Huaguo Mountain, these Spiritual Medicines held significant importance.
“Rest assured, even if the Queen Mother of the West comes looking for trouble, she will only go to Ziwei Heavenly Court.
She definitely knows about Marshal Tianpeng’s big wedding.
I even suspect she won’t bother me at all, Old Sun.
In recent times, even if she feels aggrieved, she will likely keep a low profile and not escalate the situation,” Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Ksitigarbha’s mind stirred; he immediately guessed a possibility.
“The Court of Ancient Gods is plotting something?”
That was the only scenario in which the Court of Ancient Gods would settle down.
This was the calm before the storm, even a child could sense it.
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, saying with a smile, “Today, when I sneaked into Kunlun, I overheard Sliming and Senior Commander-in-Chief talking, as if they were planning something.
However, they only exchanged a few words; I didn’t understand it fully, but I’m certain they are about to stir up trouble soon.”
“It’s probably aimed at Living Beings.
The peace is finally about to be disrupted; I hope Living Beings can withstand it, and not merely set the stage for their destruction,” he said.
Ksitigarbha sighed, not very optimistic about the fate of Living Beings.
He knew all too well the dreadful consequences that would result once the Court of Ancient Gods took action.
Most likely, it would result in suffering and mass death among the Living Beings.
“Let’s prepare early; we can only do our best to stop it,” Sun Wukong patted Ksitigarbha’s shoulder, his expression somewhat melancholic.
Ksitigarbha nodded, fully aware of this, but lamenting the inevitable loss of countless lives.
Bluebird remained silent; it was at this moment that she realized how cruel the Queen Mother of the West could be.
They sought to achieve their goals, yet it was at the cost of the death and injury of Living Beings.
Living Beings, how innocent they are.
Could they not, like Ksitigarbha, show a little more love towards the common people?
Or is it that the Ancient Gods, as rumors suggest, are truly heartless by nature, where kindness doesn’t exist for them, and only malice is their characteristic trait?
