When Yang Xue got up, she found that it was already late. She had slept for a whole day, and it was dark again.
But Sun Wukong had said he would wait outside. Half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of him.
She sat by the window, feeling sad, heart - sore and nervous.
This time was really awkward. How could she accidentally pounce on the Great Sage and even sit on him?
Judging from Sun Wukong's innocent look as if he had never seen the world, this kind of action must have been like getting struck by lightning to him.
He had hardly even held a girl's hand before, and suddenly there was such physical contact. The fact that he didn't overturn the roof like last time was already very remarkable.
Imagining that scene, she suddenly felt a bit pity for the Great Sage.
"Alas." She sighed, wondering if the monkey was too afraid to come back and face her.
Next time she must be more careful. She had to seduce the Great Sage slowly. Excessive force would lead to serious consequences.
"Sighing like this. Instead of going back to your room to rest, you're sitting here not even eating. Are you possessed?" Boss Hua came out of her room to go to the toilet and saw Yang Xue looking dejected. She couldn't help but tease her.
"It's worse than being possessed." She buried her head in her arms on the table. "Sister Hua, if I've flirted too much with an innocent man, how can I make up for it?"
Sun Wukong, who was just sitting on the roof adjusting his breath and about to come down, heard this and became flustered again.
"Man..." This word, this address, somehow made his face flush.
He froze again and sat motionless on the roof.
Hearing this, Boss Hua burst into laughter. She sat down beside Yang Xue with a meaningful smile, winked and asked, "Did you use the Bone - Painting Softness I gave you? That young man looks quite decent after dressing up. He does have more masculinity than that God of Wealth. No wonder you like him."
"No. I just accidentally pounced on him and knocked him to the ground." Yang Xue blushed deeply and stammered, "He may have never been close to women before. The Bone - Painting Softness and such things must never be used. I'll be content if I can just see him often."
"Silly girl, stop talking such discouraging words!" As an experienced person, Boss Hua immediately frowned and started lecturing, "What does that young man do? Don't let him have other girls outside. You can't just judge a man by his appearance!"
"Sister Hua, you don't understand. He's... doing business outside. He's always on long - distance trips. He doesn't have the time or energy for that." She couldn't help but smile. Sun Wukong had raised quite a few monkeys.
"Then you should be even more careful. When traveling outside, you'll meet all kinds of demons and ghosts. Those coquettish women are much more skillful than you. To avoid long nights and many dreams, you'd better act quickly, or you'll end up with regrets." Saying this, Boss Hua thought of her own experience and was a bit frustrated with Yang Xue's thoughts.
Yang Xue lowered her head and smiled faintly. "Don't be in a hurry. I understand him. Being too proactive will scare him away."
Sun Wukong: "..."
Is this Great Sage the kind of person who gets scared easily? No, how could this Great Sage be so useless.
He slumped on the roof and had to admit that he was indeed not brave enough. After all, who would teach him this kind of thing? Maybe he should consult the Bull Demon King.
"You're still too young. In my opinion, you'd better cook the raw rice into cooked rice earlier..." Boss Hua was about to say more when Yang Xue quickly covered her mouth.
She thought that if Sun Wukong was nearby and heard such astonishing words, he might leave without saying goodbye.
"..." Sun Wukong was petrified on the spot. What was the Bone - Painting Softness?
This Great Sage had never thought that one day he would encounter such a tricky problem.
Cook the raw rice into cooked rice!!!
He was completely unprepared!
Master, save me!
"Miss Xue, you're as beautiful as a fairy, but he can still be as upright as Liu Xiahui. Don't blame your sister for not warning you. Maybe he's just impotent. Maybe you should find a doctor to check..."
"Clang!"
"Smash!"
There was a commotion on the roof, and the tiles fell to the ground and shattered.
Yang Xue closed her eyes. It was over. The Great Sage was really outside.
Boss Hua was sleepy. "Okay, okay. Since you don't want me to say it, I'll go back to my room to rest. Where did this cat come from? It even broke my tiles."
Yang Xue forced a smile and agreed, "Yes, it must be the wild cats outside fighting."
Maybe it really wasn't the Great Sage. She hoped he hadn't heard.
"Right. Wild cats and dogs are so annoying this season. They like to climb onto the roof and make noise. It's their mating season. They make so much noise at night that people can't sleep." Boss Hua mumbled as she walked.
Yang Xue was on the verge of collapse. She grabbed her head and shouted in her heart, "Please stop talking!"
"..." Sun Wukong stared wide - eyed. Why did this lady talk like this...
...
Another half an hour passed. Yang Xue finished her meal and went back to her room to sleep. The Great Sage definitely wouldn't come.
She put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and then turned to walk towards her room.
"Creak." The door opened from the outside.
Yang Xue looked back. "Great Sage?"
"Yeah." Sun Wukong replied indifferently and sat on the chair beside. "You've finished eating. Do you have any wine?"
"Oh, yes. I'll go and get it for you." She looked at Sun Wukong suspiciously for a moment. "Great Sage, why is your clothes wet? Is it raining outside?"
"No. I accidentally fell into the river." He didn't dare to look up at Yang Xue, but on the surface, he was calm and even a bit aloof. "Bring a pot of wine. Let's have a chat. The God of Wealth has transformed into my appearance to take care of the master. I'll leave after you fall asleep."
When did he and the God of Wealth become so close that the God of Wealth could take his shift?
Maybe he couldn't beat the God of Wealth and that's why he was replaced.
But Yang Xue didn't ask. She brought two pots of wine.
"Great Sage, you don't have to come and see me often. You can accompany me after you finish your pilgrimage to the West." Although she roughly estimated that at their current speed, it would still take seven or eight years to reach the Western Heaven.
Sun Wukong immediately looked up and stared at her with a complicated expression, thinking of what Boss Hua had suspected before!
Those who dared to suspect that this Great Sage was impotent were all in the grave now!
His Gold - Banded Staff popped out of his ear again, making a soft humming sound!
"Great Sage, why is your Gold - Banded Staff..." Yang Xue was startled and pointed at the staff as thin as a chopstick in front of her, stuttering nervously.
"It's okay. It just wants to breathe some fresh air." Sun Wukong grabbed it and stuffed it back into his ear.
"Oh." Did he really hear it?
"I'll come and see you often. I'll use a hair to create a substitute for myself at the master's side." He must always appear in front of her, so as to prevent the God of Wealth from nagging.
Most importantly, he couldn't let people suspect that he was impotent!
"Actually, you don't have to. What if others notice? It will delay your pilgrimage to the West, and you won't be enshrined in the future..."
"This Great Sage doesn't care. As long as I can complete the task, it's already giving them enough face." Saying this, he suddenly reached out his hand. "Come here."
"Ah?" Yang Xue was stunned. Looking at his big palm, was he going to hold her hand?
The next moment, Sun Wukong stood up, grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit beside him.
Palm touching palm, the warm feeling was extremely clear. A strange, tingly feeling spread through her whole body from her palm.
A numbness shot through the top of her head. Yang Xue felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
This was their first hand - hold, and it was the Great Sage who took the initiative.
