Just when Yang Xue was so embarrassed that she felt like she could dig out a palace with her toes, there came a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Sun Wukong immediately grasped his Ruyi Jingu Bang, his eyes sharp as he stared in the direction of the door.
"Who is it?" Yang Xue pulled Sun Wukong to sit down and poured him a cup of wine.
"It's me," came the voice of the God of Wealth. "I have something to talk to you about."
"Clang!" Sun Wukong suddenly stood up, grabbed his Ruyi Jingu Bang and walked outside.
"Don't..." Yang Xue lowered her voice, hugged his waist and shouted out, "I've gone to bed. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Alright. It's just a few words," he seemed to smile softly. "I have to return to the Heavenly Court to report tomorrow. There are some words that have been weighing on my mind for a long time. I thought if I didn't say them now, I might never get the chance."
"..." Sun Wukong couldn't bear it anymore. He strode to the door, even overturning the chair on the ground.
"Great Sage..." Yang Xue suddenly jumped up, clung to his back and hugged him tightly. She didn't dare to say anything else, since the God of Wealth was outside and surely could hear them.
"What's going on?" the God of Wealth asked immediately upon hearing the commotion. "Do you need help?"
"Nothing, nothing. The chair just fell over," Yang Xue said with an embarrassed smile while clinging tightly to Sun Wukong, hanging on his back. "God of Wealth, we can talk about it some other time. There will be plenty of opportunities. I'm a bit tired and want to rest early."
Although it wasn't very polite, she really didn't want Sun Wukong to rush out and fight with the God of Wealth after hearing whatever he had to say. She didn't know how to handle such a situation.
Moreover, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to say certain words.
"Okay, that's fine," he stood at the door for a while and then said gently, "Since that's the case, girl, rest early. I'll come back and talk to you in detail after I return from the Heavenly Court."
"Okay." She was hanging on the tall Sun Wukong's back like a koala but still couldn't stop slipping down.
When she heard that the God of Wealth seemed to have left, Yang Xue finally let go and was about to jump off his back.
"Be careful," Sun Wukong put away his Ruyi Jingu Bang, put his hands behind his back and held her firmly on his back.
"Okay." She suddenly fell silent, her face flushed. For the first time, she felt that her heart was beating out of control. She wanted to dash out of the door just like the previous Sun Wukong!
The room fell silent and there was no sound outside. Her heartbeat was especially obvious.
Especially when she was lying on Sun Wukong's back, her heartbeat was even more distinct.
She quickly moved her body. "Put me down."
"Wait a minute," Sun Wukong stood upright. His hands went around her legs and grabbed his own clothes. He took a deep breath to hide his unsteady breathing. "Where has he been staying these days?"
Yang Xue put her chin on his shoulder and leaned gently against his face. "In the Temple of the God of Wealth, I guess. I'm not sure."
"Your heart is beating so fast," he said out of the blue.
"No, it isn't," Yang Xue blushed deeply and struggled a bit. "Put me down."
"You jumped on me yourself. Are you really that afraid of hurting the God of Wealth's feelings?" At this moment, Sun Wukong seemed extremely calm and said imposingly, "Is it because he is so gentle that you're afraid he might say he likes you and you won't be able to reject him?"
"Great Sage..." Yang Xue was helpless and couldn't help but plead coquettishly, "Don't say that. He didn't say anything out of line. I know you don't like me getting close to other men. After all, our relationship seems to have changed. But the God of Wealth is a friend. Don't misunderstand."
"Misunderstand?" His voice suddenly rose. He turned to look at her and said, "You tell me it's a misunderstanding. Do you believe I'll chase after him right now and find out the truth?"
"Don't, don't, don't... Great Sage, I was wrong," Yang Xue was really distressed. Who would have thought that once the Great Sage stopped avoiding, he would be so jealous and even ready to get to the bottom of things? "The Great Sage is right. I'll be more careful in the future."
"Don't敷衍 me!" He turned around and gently placed her on the bed. "Otherwise, my Ruyi Jingu Bang is not for show."
Yang Xue stuck out her tongue and jumped off the bed. "Yes, the Great Sage's Ruyi Jingu Bang is the most powerful."
"..." Sun Wukong stumbled.
"..." Oh my god! What kind of bold words had she said!
Suddenly, she felt that the word "Ruyi Jingu Bang" didn't seem like a good word anymore.
"Come over and have some wine. I want to talk to you about something," thinking of the God of Wealth's actions just now, Sun Wukong couldn't help feeling a bit sulky. "No matter whose business it is, it's not as important as ours."
"Yes, yes, yes," Yang Xue sat opposite him, poured herself a cup of wine and drank it. She smacked her lips. "I didn't expect the Great Sage to be so domineering after he stopped running away."
"It's not domineering. It's a principle," he filled her cup again and seriously instructed, "After I leave, if the God of Wealth wants to say something next time, you must make it clear to him about our relationship."
"What's our relationship?" She wanted to be naughty again. She crossed her legs and peeked at his expression.
"What do you think our relationship is?" As he spoke, Sun Wukong appeared in front of her. Although they weren't in physical contact, their clothes touched. There was only half an inch between their noses.
"..." It seemed that she had underestimated Sun Wukong. When they met again, he was no longer the Sun Wukong who would just blush and run away.
"Let's talk business. I'll come to see you often in the future. Do you have any objections?"
"None," Yang Xue quickly shook her head. "I've been looking forward to the Great Sage coming to see me. How could I have any objections?"
Suddenly, she became timid and didn't dare to tease him easily anymore.
"They won't really go to my Flower - Fruit Mountain to look for you. Even though there are rumors in the Heavenly Court about the two of us, the more rumors there are, the more innocent we are. It'll make me feel more at ease if you stay in the Flower - Fruit Mountain."
He was already arranging things for her. It had to be said that the Great Sage Sun was really domineering when he wasn't shy.
"Don't worry. It'll be quite boring for me to stay in the Flower - Fruit Mountain without you," her heart was filled with sweetness, which meant that he had seriously thought about their relationship in the past few days.
"I won't ask who you really are, but others may," he suddenly reached out and held Yang Xue's hand. Since his appearance was different from before, it was completely impossible to associate him with the shy Sun Wukong.
Yang Xue's heart skipped a beat and she felt extremely excited.
"If you need anything for your cultivation, just tell me," saying that, he took out a small bottle from his pocket. "I got this from the Supreme Lord Lao Jun. It'll be beneficial for your cultivation."
"Magic pills?" This man had even begged for magic pills for her. Obviously, he had made full preparations.
For some reason, Yang Xue was suddenly extremely touched and even wanted to marry him.
"Great Sage!" She stood up and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. "I didn't expect the Great Sage to do so much for me in these few days."
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then he placed his hand on her back and said with a soft smile, "Who am I? Once I've made a decision and stopped being a coward, I'll never be ambiguous with the girl I like."
