I'm tied to Athena.

Even if the six of them joined forces, there was no way Sun Wukong would have no chance of resistance...It seemed that something was wrong.

Could it be that! ?

A possibility came to Athena's mind.

Chapter 302: Is this the protagonist’s halo?

"This is really surprising." Li Yun looked at the grinning Monkey King in front of him, "How did the Great Sage manage to hide this from Athena?"

"Although the little girl named Athena is very smart, it's a pity that I am the ancestor of such tricks."

The Great Sage was very smart. He knew that if he used his clone from the beginning, he would be discovered soon, so he pretended to have fallen into a trap and followed the goddesses' plan. Even when he was smashed into the ground by Quetzal, he did not use his clone.

Until the moment the earth breaks apart...

At the moment when Ailei used the treasure to seal the earth, he showed his strength and broke the treasure with one stick. However, at that moment, when the goddesses were surprised by his strength, he used the art of concealing the truth, and the clone replaced the original body.

Perhaps only the Monkey King could seize this fleeting opportunity under the goddesses' raging offensive.

"I see. So the Great Sage is planning to get rid of us first?" Li Yun's gentle words made Anna and Guinevere's expressions become serious. As long as Sun Wukong made any unusual movement, they would take action immediately!

"I am going to attack you. The one next to you will not let me go." The Monkey King's words were not murderous. "I am here this time to have a chat with you."

"Chatting?" Li Yun was a little surprised. "As I recall, this was the first time that the Great Sage and I met."

"Can't we chat after we meet for the first time? Boy, I am very curious about you."

Sun Wukong's words made Li Yun's brain work quickly. To be honest, if the enemy who was fighting for life and death in the previous second ran over and said he had something to tell him in the next second, anyone would suspect that this was a conspiracy.

Li Yun naturally considered whether this was a conspiracy of the Great Sage at the first moment, but he quickly threw this idea out of his mind.

He didn't have that kind of aura. Sun Wukong didn't have the violent aura that just emanated from him, and his words and actions were full of boldness and cheerfulness. Li Yun's intuition told him that Sun Wukong meant no ill will.

"I wonder what the Great Sage wants to talk to me about?"

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

"No!" Before Li Yun even opened her mouth, Anna stood up to object, "I can't leave Li Yun to you."

"Aaaaa~~~" Tima also gently pulled his hand and shook her head to express her opposition.

"Lord Li Yun is too dangerous." Even Guinevere opposed Li Yun and the Monkey King having any private contact.

"Don't worry, it's okay." After patting little Anna and Guinevere on the head, Li Yun gave Tima a reassuring look and said, "I'll be back soon."

"Hahaha, good, good, boy, you have courage." Sun Wukong laughed heartily, and then he hugged Li Yun's neck like a buddy, "Let's go, let's have a conversation between men."

Sun Wukong did not take Li Yun too far away, he was within the sight of Anna and the others.

"We should be almost there." The Great Sage stopped and blew a light breath, and an invisible barrier covered them.

After being separated from the outside world, the Great Sage looked Li Yun up and down carefully. Although the Great Sage had already dispersed his murderous and violent aura, that undisguised gaze still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"that...."

"Well, you have indeed been forced to bear the fate of a hero by that woman." Before Li Yun could finish his question, he heard Sun Wukong's affirmative words while touching his chin.

The unexpected words left Li Yun speechless.

He only told Athena and the others that he was the new hero, and no one else, including Guinevere, knew about it. Why...

"I'm curious about how I know this?" The Great Sage said complacently, "It's not that easy to hide it from me."

Li Yun was stunned, "Can the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils also predict a person's fate?"

"Of course not. This is just an excuse." The Great Sage waved his hand. "Destiny is something that cannot be seen or touched. No one can see through it except that woman. I just smelled the scent on you."

"odor?"

"Ah, you have the same smell as that man. Um... No, I shouldn't say smell." The Great Sage felt that this word was a bit wrong. After scratching his head and thinking for a while, he chuckled and said, "Feeling, yes, it's a feeling."

"Boy, let me ask you, what do you think are the qualities that a brave man must possess?"

"Conditions?" Li Yun was a little embarrassed when asked this question, "Even if you ask me this, I can't explain it clearly... probably brave, gentle, strong, etc...."

"Ah, alas, that's too general. This answer can only get 30 points." The Great Sage sighed twice in disdain, and then replied: "The prerequisite for a brave man is cohesion!"

"Cohesion?"

"The hero in every story has the influence to make others act with him. Even enemies can be turned into partners through his words and actions. Bravery and gentleness are just used to enhance cohesion."

"Although the feeling you have is far inferior to his, I am a nobody, so I can easily sense it."

Well, the Monkey King boasted about himself again in a casual manner.

"So, the Great Sage just came here to confirm whether I am the new hero?"

"This is just a premise. Only if you meet the premise of 'you are a hero', I, Sun Wukong, will continue to chat with you." The Monkey King's expression became serious. "In other words, what I, Sun Wukong, value is not you as a person, but your destiny as a hero."

"Great Sage, just speak directly. It's not like you to talk in a roundabout way."

"Although I want to get straight to the point, I still have to ask you one more question. Why did you wake up that man? Did you obey fate, or did you resist it?"

Sun Wukong's eyes were serious, and he asked this question very seriously. At the same time, he was also expecting the man in front of him to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Of course it is to resist fate!" Facing the serious Monkey King, Li Yun was puzzled, but he also gave his answer very seriously.

Dark eyes met golden eyes, "I hate having my fate arranged for me."

"Okay, okay, I really didn't make a mistake!" After receiving a satisfactory answer, the Monkey King smiled happily, "I was right to take the risk and ask you this question! Although you look gentle, deep in your eyes you have the same ego as mine!"

"So kid, from now on, I'm your partner!"

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, then he said, "...Huh!?

Chapter 303 Daily Life Begins

"Um...what does the Great Sage mean?" Li Yun still couldn't believe it. How could the Monkey King, who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, become a partner so easily?

This is also the protagonist's halo... No, this is also the fate of the hero? But he didn't seem to do anything, right?

The Great Sage glanced at Guinevere and said, "I've already said it before. I hate that woman. I hate the guy who maintains the order of the gods even more. Defeating the Demon King is equivalent to depriving me of the greatest pleasure in the lower world. Therefore, I have the same goal as you."

With that said, everything can be connected.

Sun Wukong is the god of disobedience and the god of bravery and bellicosity. Fighting with the devil is probably his greatest pleasure in the mortal world. However, as long as the goddess of fate and the last king still exist in the world, his pleasure is likely to be taken away. In order to protect his own pleasure, he must also defeat the last king and the god of fate.

"But why did the Great Sage tell me this in secret?" Li Yun still didn't understand. "Although this reason would make Guinevere unhappy, she would have to endure it in order to revive the Last King."

"It's different, it's different." The Great Sage sighed helplessly, "The fate of a hero is different from that of others. Their every move is watched by that woman. If I tell her openly, I'm afraid she will target me directly."

"That's how Old Sun suffered in the past."

"A thousand years ago, I told that guy about this, but he didn't agree to my proposal, which led to me being targeted by that woman. You know what happened to me in the end. I was suppressed in Japan for hundreds of years."

"So, the Great Sage was not forcibly suppressed by Japan, but because of the Goddess of Destiny..." This is really an unexpected answer. Is this the real reason why the Great Sage was suppressed in Japan?

He was suppressed not because of Erlang Zhenjun's talisman and the efforts of the whole Japanese nation, but because the goddess of fate arranged such a fate for him.

"Of course. Otherwise, do you think that these Japanese villains can suppress me?" The Great Sage held his head high and snorted coldly, his words full of disdain for the Japanese gods.

"The reason why Old Sun fought with those little girls was to create an opportunity to talk to you alone. I believe that woman's attention has been diverted to that side..."

The Monkey King, who was originally feeling very proud, suddenly changed his expression and blurted out, "Hey, you saw through my tricks so quickly?"

"Boy, your snakes are too smart. They saw through my tricks so quickly. I have to hide first. If I am found to have contact with you, I will definitely be suspected by that woman."

"I will come to see you again some other day!"

"By the way, it's okay for you to tell them about this. After all, that woman can't eavesdrop on what we say specifically. And with what happened just now, she probably won't doubt the relationship between you and Lao Sun anymore."

After saying this, the Great Sage immediately transformed himself and disappeared in front of Li Yun.

The moment Sun Wukong disappeared, Athena and others hurriedly flew over from the sky above Nantai Mountain.

"Li Yun, are you okay?" Ishtar jumped off the Tianzhou and nervously grabbed Li Yun, looking him up and down, fearing that he was hurt.

"We are all fine, don't be nervous." Li Yun patted Ishtar's head, "How are things going over there?"

"We were tricked." Athena said with strong dissatisfaction in her tone, "The monkey used his clone to trick us in the middle of the battle... When I noticed this, I thought you were in danger, so I rushed over."

"I see... Let's talk about this when we get back."

Because the fluctuations of the battle had dissipated, the people who compiled the official history were able to enter Nikko National Park. Li Yun, who did not intend to have any contact with them again, planned to leave here directly.

"Ah."

So, the group left Nikko National Park. However, since they had no place to stay in Japan, they just found a hotel nearby to stay.

"Why did Lord Liyun choose this place?" Guinevere pouted. "Although you don't want to be discovered by the people who compile official history, there is no need to choose a hotel like this, right?"

"Let's not talk about Guinevere for now. You should at least choose a place that is worthy of your status as a goddess."

"Personally, I think this place is pretty good." Li Yun had a look of 'is that so', "and there's no one else here except us, isn't that great? It's like renting the place out."

Because of the Monkey King's rampage a week ago, the area around Tokyo, Japan is undergoing repair work in full swing, and there are no tourists at all. In addition, after the battle between the Monkey King and Athena, there are no tourists in Tochigi at all. Even the locals chose to stay at home safely...

Therefore, they were the only ones staying in the hotel chosen by Li Yun.

Ah, by the way, Li Yun and his friends came to Kinu River Onsen Ohara in Tochigi Nikko. Yes, that's right, it's a hot spring hotel. And this place is really good. At least among the many hot spring hotels in Kinu River, this one is one of the best.

"That's what she said..." Guinevere sighed. Li Yun had already said that, what else could she say?

But... they really are similar. Her master is the same, he won't complain even if he has to sleep outdoors. Material enjoyment seems to be non-existent for these two people, as long as they have a place to stay and fill their stomachs, it doesn't matter where they are.

"By the way, do you want to go take a hot spring bath?" Li Yun looked at the goddesses sitting on the tatami without any image, and couldn't help but smile, "After all, we are all sweaty."

"Eh....Wow, so much sweat." The goddesses finally realized that they were all sweaty. They hadn't noticed it before Li Yun said it, but now that he said it, they suddenly felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"Quetzal's heat is too strong, I can't stop it at all." Ishtar complained, "That damn monkey actually played a trick on me like this. Next time I see him, I will let Gugalan teach him a lesson!"

"Ah, next time I must tear that monkey into pieces!" Gorgon's eyes were also full of murderous intent.

"Well..." What expression should Li Yun show now... It seems that because of the Monkey King's teasing, the goddesses' attitude towards the Monkey King has become even worse. If he says now that the Monkey King is a partner, it will definitely cause strong dissatisfaction among the goddesses.

Just wait a little longer

PS: Happy New Year everyone.

Chapter 304: Topics among Goddesses

"Wow... the hot spring is really comfortable." In the open-air hot spring, Ai Lei completely immersed her body below the neck in the hot spring, with her long golden hair piled up high. Although she looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with her long hair piled up like this, she also had a hint of young woman's flavor.

Hmm...it seems like she is a young woman now.

"Is this thing really that comfortable?" Ishtar came in wrapped in a bath towel. She looked at the steaming hot spring pool with some doubt in her eyes. She seemed to have no memory of hot springs. "Is it similar to a hot bath?"

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Ai Lei lazily leaned against the edge of the pool. "Come to think of it, besides Athena and I, has anyone else ever soaked in the hot springs here?"

The goddesses who walked in from behind looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate no.

"After all, times have changed." Quetzal gently tried to touch the hot spring, then pulled open the bath towel and soaked in.

"Wow..." After entering, the South American Lord's expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised, "Great, this is not ordinary hot water."

"The hot springs at Kinu River were previously called 'Taki no Yu' and 'Shimotaki Onsen'. They are the representative hot springs of the northern Kanto region, so they are naturally different." Athena had already entered the hot spring while speaking, "Don't just stand there and watch. Come down."

The goddesses nodded and then soaked in the hot spring.

Then.....

"Huwa..." He let out a comfortable sigh.

"Come to think of it, when have you ever taken a hot spring bath before?" Hot springs are not only used to relax the body, but also for secret conversations.

For example, secrets between boys or girls.

"Hmm? In another world." Ailei raised her finger as if showing off and said, "I remember that I was bathing in the hot springs of Oceanus's house. They were better than the hot springs here."

"Eh... the hot springs of the water god's house... But, in the previous world..." Quetzal showed a hint of curiosity, "I remember that world was a world where the gods came down to earth to play a game similar to the King's Game."

"Well, it's a very interesting world. The gods seal their divine power and give the gift to ordinary people, and then let them take risks to become stronger. In this way, the world of gods and humans is connected."

"That's great! I wish I could go to that world to play." Quetzal seemed to be longing for such a world, and there was some expectation in his tone: "Then the elder sister can wrestle with her children every day."

"Aaah, I think if you say that, no one will dare to join your clan." Ishtar felt terrified just thinking about being beaten by Quetzal using wrestling skills every day.

Those kids will definitely be beaten into idiots.

"But then again, you've been there for seven years and you haven't gained a single clan. That's too bad." After complaining about Quetzal, Ishtar began to tease her twin sister again, and Elle skillfully grinned and retorted, "What the hell is it to you!"

"Since we're talking about the last world, why don't you tell us about Li Yun's story?" Gorgon's purple eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Before, I was so surprised by the experience of traveling through the world that I forgot about it."
