Chapter 179 Listening to the Long-Armed Ape's Story...

Chenxiang watched his godmother cook with great interest.

The entire Flower Fruit Mountain is owned, so Lu Bian and Chen Xiang can no longer find a place on Flower Fruit Mountain to build a house and home like before. Fortunately, they still have a boat, so Lu Bian and Chen Xiang make the boat their home.

As soon as the Fourth Princess arrived, she instructed the skilled craftsmen of the East Sea aquatic tribes to make extensive modifications to their thirty-meter-long ship, making it more comfortable to live on and turning it into a treasure ship.

"Godmother, do you need my help?" Chenxiang asked.

"You just need to watch." The fourth princess lowered her head and focused on her work.

Meanwhile, food stalls were also being set up along the roadside.

Out of consideration for social norms, Lu Bian didn't want to eat the Fourth Princess's food for free, so he added two more dishes for himself, so that no one owed anyone anything.

Chenxiang looked around and saw that his two elders were busy, while he was the only one with nothing to do.

"Kid, stay a while longer in my Flower Fruit Mountain, so I can enjoy myself a bit more." General Beng, the Long-Armed Ape, was waiting nearby.

He was a monkey, so he didn't need to follow human etiquette. Moreover, in the Flower Fruit Mountain region, the Long-Armed Ape was considered a minor demon king. He had been following the Great Sage since before the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

General Beng, the Long-Armed Ape, didn't come empty-handed; he brought two jugs of monkey wine to freeload.

He tried the monkey wine from Huaguo Mountain by the roadside, and it was the best wine he had ever tasted, just like a beverage.

The fourth princess disliked the monkey wine for being too weak; she preferred something that could really get her drunk.

Observing the Fourth Princess from the roadside, this dragon girl is extremely good at disguising herself. She is not a deep-thinking person, but she gives people a great contrast in many ways.

The wine she drinks is as clear as water, but if you give it a little heat, the wine in her glass will ignite, which terrifies both humans and monkeys.

Her manners were impeccable, and she spoke with grace and poise, giving an absolutely perfect impression. But this was all part of the Fourth Princess's disguise.

I stir-fried a few dishes in a dragon-patterned cauldron by the roadside. Looking back at the Fourth Princess, I saw her hanging a sea fish as tall as a person, carefully slicing the fish meat into thin, cicada-wing-like slices with a sharp, cold knife, and arranging them neatly on a plate.

Chenxiang wasn't used to eating raw or cold food, so the Fourth Princess used a small spell to send a ball of high-temperature flame flying over the fish and meat, cooking it instantly and locking in its nutrients.

He can master various cooking techniques with ease and is very skilled.

Judging from the roadside view, the fourth princess also seems to enjoy cooking.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!!" General Beng, the Long-Armed Ape, exclaimed.

These monkeys don't discriminate between raw and cooked food, but they mostly eat raw and cold food. They catch fruits and insects and stuff them into their mouths without studying how to eat them. The gibbon was truly amazed.

"I really don't understand, why are we so particular about this?" the gibbon asked.

“General Beng, you just don’t understand,” the roadside man began to explain.

"Watching others enjoy the food you make is a pleasure, and it also makes you feel a sense of accomplishment."

“I used to be sickly, and the only thing I could do for my family was simple things like cooking.”

"What? You used to be a sickly person? Who cured you?" The gibbon was surprised and expressed doubt about the roadside's previous physical condition.

There were four monkeys in the world, each with their own unique abilities.

Among them, the Long-Armed Ape can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe.

Although his own skills as a gibbon were not as great as his king's, he still had some abilities. He observed that there was something strange about the person by the roadside.

"..." The Fourth Princess also glanced at the roadside a few times.

It's hard to imagine that this heroic and strong man was once a sickly person.

"I'm telling the truth, when I was at my thinnest, I was no different from a skeleton. I would fall over if the wind blew me down, and I couldn't even walk 300 meters from my house."

"Hey! All of that is in the past, no need to reminisce," someone said from the roadside.

Several small dishes were placed on the table by the roadside, waiting for the fourth princess to bring out the main course.

"Awaited……"

The fourth princess made a significant contribution.

With a monkey around, the Fourth Princess didn't want all her food to be eaten by the gibbon just because she hadn't cooked enough.

Upon learning that Chenxiang would be waiting for the Great Sage to return at Flower Fruit Mountain, the Fourth Princess also prepared herself to deal with the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain for a long time.

If you build a good relationship with the Monkey King's monkey followers, the chances of Chenxiang successfully becoming his disciple will be higher.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the Long-Armed Ape was in high spirits. "My king has never received any true teachings, only a nominal disciple on the journey to the West..."

He nodded by the roadside. He knew about this. Now that hundreds of years had passed, that prince should have been reincarnated, which meant that the Great Sage didn't have any disciples now.

"His Majesty has mentioned that countless people have tried to become his disciples over the years, but none of them have succeeded."

"His Majesty said he wouldn't accept anything that would cause trouble..."

"Those who are too ambitious and competitive, even the king won't accept..."

"Those with large families and great wealth, the king certainly won't accept..."

"Hehe~!"

The gibbon looked at Chenxiang.

"You little rascal, you've got all three of those traits!!"

The gibbon took a sip.

Chenxiang stared at the gibbon without saying a word.

"He became a Buddha..."

"Naturally, it's about being free and unrestrained..."

"It's not about being able to do whatever you want, but about finding peace in your heart... This is the principle that the King taught us when he preached the Dharma."

"What scriptures does the Great Sage preach?" someone asked curiously by the roadside.

"Of course, it was the Great King who retrieved the scriptures!" the gibbon replied.

"It must have been tough for us..." the gibbon laughed.

"Understanding the Dharma and attaining Buddhahood is not so easy."

"I'm afraid that in this world, only my king, a monkey, has attained Buddhahood."

“If Your Majesty doesn’t accept Chenxiang, there is still a way to learn your Majesty’s skills,” said the Long-Armed Ape.

"Could it be that they're going to find the Great Sage's master?" someone asked by the roadside.

"how come……"

“We can simply follow in the footsteps of my king and travel westward once more,” said the gibbon.

"This was told to us secretly by the king."

"The journey to the West was nothing but traveling, which was incredibly boring, so he left some footprints on the road..."

“The Great Sage said that he couldn’t just go through the journey once and then no one else would… The hardships of the journey to the West should also be experienced by future generations.”

"What if someone has really reached the Western Paradise again?" someone said by the roadside.

“Then we have obtained the true scriptures again.” The gibbon emphasized the words “true scriptures”.

"Aren't you tempted?" The gibbon looked at Chenxiang, then glanced at the roadside.

Shaking his head by the roadside.

"I'm definitely not going."

“I traveled a stretch of road from Gao Laozhuang to the border of the Tang Dynasty. It’s impossible to say that I followed the exact route that the Great Sage took on his westward journey, as there were few references along the way.”

“Yes!” the gibbon echoed.

"Aww... Did you sense anything? You must have learned something from that section of the road, right?" the gibbon asked the roadside.

"I was going east against the flow of traffic, and I didn't feel anything at all."

"Oh, I see."

“Chenxiang, don’t take this too seriously. My king enjoys playing tricks on others. Maybe he’s just trying to trick someone into experiencing the same suffering he went through.”

The gibbon let out a burp.
