You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

"Zhiming, are you awake?"

"I've killed too many, let me rest for a while~"

"White Snake! Come out and drink!"

"Shut up, monkey! I'm cleaning your ass!"

"I, Old Sun, don't need it!"

Chapter 56 I, Old Sun, am back!

Since Monkey shouted that he wanted to drink, Xia Zhiming naturally couldn't let Qingxin sit at the seat.

Forget about that time in the East China Sea. Qingxin would definitely be more effective than him and the monkey combined, but the recent banquets were all attended by demon kings, and there was no way he could let Qingxin sit at the table and drink.

Therefore, after being awakened by the monsters, Xia Zhiming quickly got out of the girl's arms.

Looking at the Bull Demon King beside him and the five demon kings at the banquet, Xia Zhiming immediately had a question mark in his mind - how long had he slept, and how come all seven monkey brothers were together in a short time.

However, at this time he did not intend to spoil the monkey's mood, so he fell directly to the ground, turned back into human form and sat down at the banquet.

At the banquet, everyone announced their names one by one, and the demon kings naturally focused their conversation around the three newcomers.

Bull Demon King: "You three have fought your way here, are you trying to cultivate merit so you can ascend to heaven and become a celestial official in the future?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he laughed and said, "I just want to have some fun! I just want to open a window for them!"

Xia Zhiming simply raised his glass and said with a smile: "If you can't stand it, then naturally you'll kill me."

Qing Xin shook her head and said, "I don't care."

Seeing the three people's response, Demon King Peng sighed and said, "Just do what you want..."

The Monkey King said, "The last time I went to Kutuo Mountain, those incompetent little demons were like this too. I was so envious of them."

King Yuxiong sighed: "What's the use of envy? There is a saying that goes - even if you do good with good intentions, you will not be rewarded."

The Dragon Demon King slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, I know what's next. It's that if you do evil unintentionally, you won't be punished. That's good! Great good!"

The Lion King: "Why are you two being so literary? Why don't you drink some wine? I'll drink first!"

After chatting for a while, the demon kings challenged each other to a duel. After a fight, Sun Wukong naturally followed through, and the battle ended in chaos. In the end, they all happily put away their weapons.

The banquet was a great success for both the host and the guests. The demon kings all reported back to their caves one by one and said they would meet again next time.

At this time, Sun Wukong met his opponent and finally decided not to wander around anymore. He finally took the man and the snake back to Huaguo Mountain.

On the road——

"Zhi Ming, those demon kings have such abilities, why don't they achieve enlightenment?"

"I think the immortal path is blocked."

"But... can't Buddhists put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas instantly?"

"But I, Old Sun, know that monks can't drink alcohol!"

……

The group returned to Huaguo Mountain, and from then on they often drank and had fun with the six demon kings, discussed literature and martial arts, passed around cups, went in the morning and came back in the evening, treating the thousands of miles away as if it were the journey to the palace, and unknowingly half a year had passed.

One morning, in the Water Curtain Cave——

Qing Xin pulled the lazy white snake out of her arms, and waited until Xia Zhiming lazily wrapped it around her neck before she spoke:

"Zhiming, today is the last day."

"I know, it's just a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"Before the monkey's soul returned to the underworld."

"Zhiming, don't curse him."

"Forget it~"

A man and a snake pushed the door open and came out. When they found Sun Wukong sitting on the throne in the cave, they discovered that this guy had already called over his fellow monkeys to have fun and there was a lot of laughter.

Noticing the man and the snake coming over, Sun Wukong was immediately delighted. He waved and invited them to the table, laughing heartily:

"Yesterday, I had a dream. In the dream, two people lured me to the underworld. When I woke up, they fought all the way to the King of Hell's Palace. They had crossed out all my names from the Book of Life and Death. From then on, I refused to submit to their rule!"

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that he would actually catch up with him. Then he smiled and asked, "Have you marked it for Qingxin and me?"

Sun Wukong nodded quickly, then patted his thigh and waved his hands, saying with a smile: "I didn't find you, White Snake, and Little Senior Sister, but I found a few senior brothers and my brothers, and I took them all away~"

"In that case, remember not to forget it next time."

"And next time?"

Xia Zhiming smiled but said nothing, changing the subject: "Monkey, we are ready to go back."

"Back to where?"

"Of course, we're going back to Sanxing Cave."

"..."

Sun Wukong was speechless and stood there for a moment. After a while, he said hopefully, "White Snake, why don't you stay a few more days?"

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming shook his head and smiled, "Don't you want to prepare something so I can take it back to Master and my brothers?"

Sun Wukong was immediately deflated, but he turned and jumped back onto his throne, waving his red cape behind him and shouting, "Boys! Bring us the best wine and fruit! Bring us the delicacies of the land and the sea!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"My king! What do you want?"

"Idiot! If the king says so, then of course we have them all!"

……

In the Water Curtain Cave, with Sun Wukong's words, it suddenly became busy and the monkeys and their descendants were busy.

They brought jars of wine, basins of fairy fruit, and handfuls of jewels...

Finally, after Sun Wukong had packed dozens of gift baskets himself, he looked at Xia Zhiming expectantly and asked, "White Snake, do you want me to help you carry them?"

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming immediately understood what Monkey was thinking, but he just chuckled and asked in return: "Do you want to go back and take a look?"

"miss you!"

"Let's go then~"

"real!"

"are you going?"

"go!!!"

……

------------

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

It was morning class time, and Patriarch Bodhi sat on the Jade Terrace. His disciples were all discussing the Dao seriously, occasionally performing hand gestures to demonstrate their magical powers...

At a certain moment, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly raised his hand. All the disciples were startled. Then they heard the Patriarch smile and say, "You can go now."

Qingyun asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

The disciples were puzzled, and Patriarch Bodhi had already stood up and left the hall. At this moment, several familiar voices suddenly came from outside the hall -

"Qingyun! I, Old Sun, am back!!!"

"Monkey, slow down!"

"Wukong, if you don't change your name, you'll get beaten up later~"

"Hehe, I forgot for a moment~"

Chapter 57 Xia Zhiming's Dreamland

In the Three Star Cave——

Hearing the monkey's familiar shrill voice, Qingyun and his fellow brothers suddenly laughed, and finally understood what the Grandmaster meant. They quickly and noisily walked out of the hall together, and saw—

Sun Wukong was full of vigor and vitality, wearing a phoenix-wing crown on his head, cloud-buying shoes on his feet, wearing a glittering golden cloak, and carrying a several-meter-long golden cudgel on his shoulder.

On the sticks were neatly hung gift baskets, each filled with fine wine, fruits, gold, silver, and jewelry...

Behind the monkey, Xia Zhiming was hanging on Qingxin's neck. Both the man and the snake looked at everyone helplessly.

Seeing this scene, all the brothers came over happily and walked up to Sun Wukong and teased him:

"Wukong, do you have my monkey wine?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Wukong, let me taste your peaches from Huaguo Mountain~"

"Give! Give! Give!"

"Wukong, your outfit looks really nice. Where did you get it?"

"Hehe! It looks great, doesn't it? I went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to grab it~"

"????"

"Monkey, did you bring me anything?"

"Qingyun, I, Old Sun, brought you some lobsters from the sea. Eating them will definitely make you taller~"

"monkey!!!"

……

Outside the hall, all the disciples were delighted. They happily accepted the gifts carefully prepared by the monkey, and then pulled the monkey into the hall for a chat.

The monkey then stuffed the golden cudgel back into his ears and put aside the last fruit basket that had not been delivered. He then began to talk about the reputation of his Flower-Fruit Mountain as the number one demon country in the world, and the story of him, a man and a snake traveling through thousands of mountains.

During the conversation, Sun Wukong lost the arrogance he had when he was in Huaguo Mountain. Instead, he was filled with endless innocence and joy. As the brothers listened to him, they were amazed from time to time and were full of envy.

Behind the crowd, the man and the snake had no intention of disturbing the rare reunion of the monkeys. They just found a table and sat down to watch the scene quietly.

Until a certain moment—

Looking at Qingxin's shoulder, Xia Zhiming suddenly discovered that the fruit basket that the monkey had put aside and had not yet been delivered suddenly disappeared from the table.

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Zhiming couldn't help laughing!

"Pfft~"

"Zhiming, why are you laughing suddenly~"

"Nothing to laugh at~"

"?"

Qingxin tilted her head and turned around to ask again, but she found that an extremely tiny blue electric light was shining directly on the white snake's forehead!

“It’s numb~! It’s numb~!”

"Zhiming, were you beaten by Master again?"

"No! Not Master!"

"Huh~?"

……

This is a rare gathering, but it’s a pity that such times are destined not to last long.

Two hours later——

In the main hall, after Sun Wukong finished chatting with his fellow brothers about his experiences over the past six months, he stood up and looked at the gift he had carefully prepared for his master, only to find that the basket was gone.

The monkey was stunned for a moment, thinking that someone had taken it by mistake. He was about to ask a question when he heard Xia Zhiming suddenly shout.

"Sun Wukong."

"White Snake, have you seen the basket I prepared for Master?"
