499: Chapter 227: Granting the Marriage_3 499: Chapter 227: Granting the Marriage_3 Nu Ba took a deep breath before saying, “This time I go home, I will not return again.
Thank you, Great Saint, for taking care of me for these hundred years, and I am sorry for disturbing you for such a long time.
From now on, I will not disrupt your peace anymore.”
Not coming back.
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, his expression blank, as if he couldn’t quite grasp what was happening.
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn’t respond, Nu Ba gave a slight bow and then turned to leave.
She left Huaguo Mountain and disappeared from Sun Wukong’s sight.
“Nu Ba sister is gone?”
White Tiger’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she watched Nu Ba leave, clearly reluctant to see her go.
By her side was Lady Dragon of Wealth, who now spoke up, “Great Saint, there is something I want to tell you.”
Sun Wukong glanced at Lady Dragon of Wealth and could roughly guess what she was about to say.
“Go ahead.”
Without waiting for Lady Dragon of Wealth to finish, Sun Wukong turned and leaped to the mountain peak.
He gazed out at the vast East Sea, lost in thought, not knowing what he was contemplating.
Lady Dragon of Wealth sighed, turned, and left Huaguo Mountain to head for the South Sea.
What she actually wanted to tell Sun Wukong was that no matter what, she would never leave Huaguo Mountain.
However, Sun Wukong misunderstood her, and let her go without further discussion.
Lady Dragon of Wealth, in the end, was a girl with very thin skin.
She couldn’t stand this and left straightforwardly.
“They’ve all left.”
White Tiger came over to Sun Wukong’s side, her eyes starkly black and white as she stared at him.
Sun Wukong ignored her, still gazing out at the East Sea.
Seeing that Sun Wukong paid her no mind, White Tiger also felt it was pointless and went off to find Bluebird.
White Tiger found Bluebird also staring blankly at Sun Wukong.
White Tiger couldn’t help but complain, “Bluebird sister, do you think this guy is silly or what?
Both Nu Ba and Dragon Girl sister like him, and he actually refuses them, doesn’t accept their feelings.
It’s simply too much.”
Bluebird smiled faintly, knowing that White Tiger was simple-minded and didn’t understand matters of the heart at all.
“Matters of the heart cannot be forced.
It’s not that because others like the Great Saint, the Great Saint must reciprocate their feelings.
Therefore, the Great Saint isn’t silly, he’s just being cautious.”
“So, you think this guy likes Nu Ba sister and Dragon Girl sister?”
White Tiger’s almond eyes widened with curiosity as she asked.
Bluebird shook her head, chuckling, “How would I know?
I suspect that only the Great Saint himself knows.”
“Maybe this guy doesn’t even know himself, otherwise he wouldn’t keep his feelings to himself all the time.”
White Tiger said earnestly, and her words made quite a lot of sense.
Surprised, Bluebird gave White Tiger a second look, astonished that she could say something so reasonable.
Sun Wukong actually heard everything they said.
His eyes shifted, and he was deep in thought again.
The next day, Great Emperor Ziwei sent over some cultivation resources.
Sun Wukong allowed the immortals of Huaguo Mountain to take what they needed.
Apart from the Eight Immortals, there were other immortals on Huaguo Mountain who had been gathered to develop the Great Sage Sect.
They usually did not get any compensation; perhaps their greatest reward was the fame and strength of Sun Wukong, which could protect them so that they would not be oppressed or bullied by other forces and powerful immortals.
Whether they had cultivation resources was really inconsequential to them.
But today, Sun Wukong called them all together and laid out all the cultivation resources, allowing them to take what they needed.
Out of several dozen people, they took away seventy percent of the resources.
They were very principled, not taking what they did not need at the moment, however valuable it might be.
The remaining thirty percent, Sun Wukong collected and then gave to Ksitigarbha to keep, also telling them that if they needed anything, they could go to Ksitigarbha to get it.
Ksitigarbha had no objection; since he had decided to follow Sun Wukong and become one of his subordinates, naturally he complied with Sun Wukong’s arrangements.
Now, he held a position akin to that of the chief steward in Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong did not concern himself with the affairs, as basically everything was handled by Ksitigarbha.
“Great Saint, in fact, we could also go treasure hunting on our own.
There are many places in the Three Realms where natural treasures exist.
Our strength is sufficient to search for cultivation resources in many places,” Ksitigarbha reminded.
Sun Wukong nodded slightly and looked over at Lu Dongbin, saying, “Old Lu, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Lu Dongbin had been listening with interest, but when Sun Wukong said this, he was suddenly taken aback.
He couldn’t help but complain, “Why should I go?
It would be better if Ksitigarbha went.
After all, he is the Great Heavenly Venerate.”
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “That’s exactly why he can’t go.
If I leave, Ksitigarbha will need to stay and oversee Huaguo Mountain, to ensure its safety.”
“Isn’t White Tiger also here?” Lu Dongbin said, looking frustrated.
Sun Wukong glanced at White Tiger, who was playing with a little monkey, and then decisively shook his head.
Lu Dongbin also heaved a sigh.
White Tiger was indeed powerful, but her level of maturity was worrying.
If White Tiger were in charge without Ksitigarbha, Sun Wukong was afraid he wouldn’t be able to do anything with peace of mind.
Thinking this, Lu Dongbin had no choice but to accept the task.
Besides Ksitigarbha and White Tiger, he was the strongest, being a Heavenly Venerate.
“Old Lu, are you being a bit foolish?
Just think about it.
On such a journey to find natural treasures, you’ll meet many beautiful fairies and female demons.
Isn’t this exactly what you look forward to?” Sun Wukong transmitted to him.
Of course, these words could not be said aloud, because it would really ruin his image.
