Crazy Nezha

Li Tianbao is a steady and reliable person!

He had observed the building before transforming and found no one inside, which is why he dared to act so recklessly!

The flames in his eyes subsided, and he landed as if nothing had happened.

Sun Baoqiang's palms felt hot, and his heart was pounding wildly, as if he had seen a brand new door.

Li Tianbao: "Follow me from now on. After I ascend to immortality, I will bestow upon you a title."

Sun Baoqiang: "Greetings...a title bestowed upon me? No longer a superpower sequence? Brother Tianbao is an urban cultivator?"

Li Tianbao said with a serious expression, "This is a secret."

Sun Baoqiang nodded vigorously.

Li Tianbao: "Baoqiang, life is just a matter of opening and closing your eyes. It doesn't matter if others look down on you, you have to respect yourself! I don't know why, I just want to help you, it's like it was destined!"

Sun Baoqiang thought for a moment and said:

"Brother Tianbao, I wasn't like this when I was little. Ever since my dad had that accident and my mom left, there was this guy in my class nicknamed Lai Mao. He bullied me every day. It was the second year of junior high, and I was going through my rebellious phase. One day after school, I was cornered by a bunch of guys with blond hair. It was Lai Mao and his gang. I was terrified. Lai Mao called me a worthless brat who was born of a mother but raised by one..."

Sun Baoqiang spoke calmly, as if he had already let it go, "There were so many of them, I was terrified. They were standing in a row and made me crawl between their legs."

Li Tianbao said, "Then you fought them! You beat them up, right?"

Sun Baoqiang laughed so hard he almost cried, "I didn't dare, but I crawled over, I crawled very carefully, I crawled very well."

Li Tianbao fell silent and strode forward.

Sun Baoqiang quickly caught up, seemingly wanting to unleash all the pent-up feelings of inferiority and timidity he had been suppressing, and continued:

"The summer before last, I met Lai Mao. He and a few others were having barbecue and drinking beer near Huaguoyuan on West Street. It was an open-air shed, and the barbecue stall was run by my third aunt's husband."

I'm helping out at the stall, making 2800 a month. I've grown up! Don't let my small size fool you, I can do 100 push-ups in one go. I train every day! This is the day I'm going to get my revenge!

"The dignity I lost when I was 14, I'm going to take back when I'm 22."

Li Tianbao stopped, looking at the bustling traffic on the old street of the county town. He bought two bottles of cola from a nearby convenience store. "Go on," he said, "how did you get your revenge?"

Sun Baoqiang: "Back then, I was doing odd jobs at the Huaguoyuan barbecue stall. When I was grilling garlic eggplant for Lai Mao, I secretly spat a few mouthfuls of saliva into it."

Li Tianbao coughed up a mouthful of cola, "Is this revenge?!"

Sun Baoqiang said in a deep voice, "Lai Mao doesn't know, he ate a lot of my saliva that day! It's a pity he didn't get a chance to ejaculate inside!"

Li Tianbao said with a look of disgust, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about revenge anymore, it's making me feel so frustrated."

Sun Baoqiang's eyes hardened as he said this, "I saw an ashtray on the table!"

Li Tianbao: "Finally, a real man has stood up! You hit him on the head with an ashtray?"

Sun Baoqiang sighed briefly. "No, he asked someone to change the ashtrays! When I went to change them, Lai Mao recognized me, raised his wine glass, and greeted me with a smile. He apologized, saying that he was immature during his adolescence and even offered me a drink. His family is an agent for Yama electric bikes, and their business is booming. They introduced me to their after-sales service for repairing electric bikes. They've been very kind to me."

Li Tianbao offered no comment, saying, "Let's go, the Monkey Team is waiting for us."

"Hey." Sun Baoqiang followed, and when they passed a small stall, he stopped and whispered, "Old K will recognize me, I'll buy a mask."

The stall displayed many low-quality toys, as well as plastic-shell masks, including Ultraman, Naruto, Calabash Brothers, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and clown masks.

Sun Baoqiang looked around and picked a clown mask. He felt that the clown mask looked weird and had a deterrent effect.

"Boss, how much is this clown mask?"

Shop owner: "All these masks are 8 yuan each, or 15 yuan for two."

Li Tianbao asked, "Do you have any Nezha masks?"

Boss: "We don't have Nezha ones, how about you get a Sun Wukong one?"

"OK."

Li Tianbao took a Sun Wukong mask and paid by scanning a QR code.

The two continued on their way.

Sun Baoqiang put on the clown mask, blinked, and asked, "Brother Tianbao, how is it?"

Li Tianbao said in a deep voice, "Sun Baoqiang, you're too insecure. Back then, when they made you crawl between their legs, you should have punched their balls off!"

Sun Baoqiang, wearing a clown mask, walked with his head down and said softly, "I can't beat him."

Li Tianbao put on the Sun Wukong mask, tilted his head to look at him, and said, "If Sun Wukong knew he would be imprisoned for 500 years after causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, do you think he would still cause trouble?"

Sun Baoqiang replied decisively, "Yes."

Li Tianbao: "Why?"

Sun Baoqiang: "Because Sun Wukong would never admit defeat without even fighting!! Even if we did it 100 times over, when it came to that point, the Great Sage would still try his staff first!"

Li Tianbao looked at the pair of small eyes behind the mask and found that they were now bright and alert.

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

"I'm not Sun Wukong!"

Li Tianbao said seriously, "I think you look a lot like a monkey. After we finish this deal, let's make our own short film. You play Sun Wukong, I'll play Nezha, and Junbao will play Erlang Shen! How about the three of us do a wildly unrestrained urban adventure?"

Sun Baoqiang: "Me...can I do it? Can I play the Monkey King?"

Li Tianbao: "Baoqiang, don't be a coward! My second uncle said that people should dare to dream. If you don't even dare to dream, what's the point of being a person? Have ordinary people in this era become so humble that they can't even have ideals?"

"Is it shameful to have ideals?!" Li Tianbao raised his voice, his words resounding.

Pedestrians on the street turned their heads to look.

Sun Baoqiang lowered his eyes, his small pupils darted around, then suddenly looked up, winked and struck a pose, letting out a strange cry:

"I am Sun Wukong, the sage of the Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain! I possess 72 transformations, live forever, and can ride the somersault cloud, covering 108,000 li in a single leap. How could I not deserve a heavenly position?"

Li Tianbao feigned surprise and shouted, "Wow, you looked just like the Great Sage!" He cleared his throat and declared loudly, "I am Nezha, the Third Prince, sent to capture you! You demon monkey, take this!"

A couple passing by quickened their pace and whispered: Honey, those two lunatics are scary.

Sun Baoqiang recovered and felt an unprecedented surge of confidence. "Brother Tianbao, thank you for your encouragement."

It was only at this moment that Li Tianbao realized that his petite friend had become more confident.

"Who is stronger, Sun Wukong or Nezha?" Li Tianbao asked in a deep voice.

"It's hard to say. Nezha was just putting on an act when he fought the monkey to fool his father. In reality, Nezha didn't want to fight the monkey to the death. He admired the monkey a lot! It's really hard to say who was stronger."

"Where is Yang Jian?"

Sun Baoqiang asserted, "When Yang Jian fought the Monkey King, they both held back; it was all an act for the Heavenly Court! Do you think it's possible for the Celestial Hound to chase and bite the Monkey King? In the end, it was Laozi who launched a sneak attack with a hidden weapon."

Li Tianbao raised an eyebrow. "How do you know all this?"

Sun Baoqiang: "I saw it on TV."

The phone rang.

"Hey, Sixth Brother."

On the phone, Liu Hou sounded a little anxious, "Are you two here on vacation? Come back right away!"

Li Tianbao said, "Didn't you say 12 o'clock? It's still early, what's the rush?"

"My goodness, we're out meeting with drug dealers!! What are you doing, having a fit of madness in the street?!"

Li Tianbao saw a vendor selling cold noodles nearby and casually asked, "I'm going back soon. Do you want some cold noodles?"

"Hurry back... Oh, and bring me a bowl."

*Beep*, Li Tianbao hung up the phone.

"Boss, three bowls of noodles, please."

The two returned to the car. Six Monkeys checked the time. "Just received word that Old K's location has been confirmed. The advance team is already lying in wait nearby. Let's set off now!"

Li Tianbao said, "Aren't you going to eat the noodles?"

Six Monkeys: "I can't eat while I'm driving, you two eat."

Li Tianbao: "I paid for three bowls, you must eat them."

Six Monkeys took a deep breath. He didn't want to talk anymore. He was tired, he was really tired.

Seeing that the monkey team looked exhausted, Li Tianbao got out of the car and opened the passenger door, saying, "I'll sit in the passenger seat and feed you."

Six Monkeys slammed their foot on the gas pedal. "I won't eat."

"Open your mouth, ah—"

"I don't... ugh... it tastes pretty good."

Sun Baoqiang sat in the back row, took off the clown mask, and silently put on the Sun Wukong mask.
