The God of Wealth wanted to take Yang Xue to verify a conjecture. If their conjecture was completely accurate, Yang Xue would no longer have to hide in the future. She could walk openly in the Three Realms and even be respected by all sentient beings in the Three Realms.
Yang Xue repeatedly asked what the conjecture was. It was so mysterious that it sounded as if she were some extraordinary figure.
The God of Wealth kept his lips sealed and refused to say.
Yang Xue shook her head and flatly refused. "I'd rather cherish my life. What if going to the Heavenly Court is just like sending myself to death? Wouldn't it be the end of the whole story?"
"The end of the whole story? What does it mean?" The God of Wealth always heard some strange words from her mouth. They were quite fresh, but he just didn't know the specific meanings.
"Anyway, my lord God of Wealth, you'd better just distribute money in peace. Let other things take their natural course. Let's wait until I'm stronger. I dare not risk my head to verify anything." She tore off a chicken wing, leaned back, and drank some wine with great pleasure.
The God of Wealth looked at her oily hands. She clearly had an extremely beautiful face, but her behavior was just like that of an old farmer.
He hesitated to speak. He wanted to give a suggestion, but seeing her enjoying her food so much, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
"Burp~" After letting out a comfortable burp, Yang Xue subconsciously touched her belly. Just as she was about to burp again, she accidentally caught sight of the God of Wealth's indescribable expression and immediately sat up straight.
"Um, my lord God of Wealth, don't laugh at me. I feel comfortable eating like this. I'm really not a refined young lady... Hehe..." How embarrassing! Her image in front of the God of Wealth was completely ruined!
Seeing her squinting her eyes, with a red face because of the wine, looking like a simple and honest little girl, the God of Wealth couldn't help reaching out and pinching her soft cheek. "Why would I dislike you? Eat. Anyway, no one will fight you for it."
"Do you want to eat?" Yang Xue picked up the wine pot. "It's been monopolized by me. How about having some?"
The God of Wealth was attracted by her generous manner and couldn't help shaking his head. "I'll just watch you drink."
"Drink to your heart's content today. It's better for a celestial being to be happy." She picked up a pot of wine and handed it to him, smiling boldly. "I'll treat you."
How could one decline the wine offered by a beauty? The God of Wealth took it. As he drank, a slight sense of sourness suddenly welled up in his heart, slowly flowing through his whole body like a stream.
Yang Xue must have regarded him as a brother. Otherwise, why wasn't she so bold and generous in front of Sun Wukong...
...
In the dead of night, Yang Xue lit a candle and carefully took out the magic hair that Sun Wukong had given her. She thought that he should have returned from the Heavenly Court by this time.
What on earth had happened? Why did he go to the Heavenly Court?
What if it was inconvenient for him when she summoned the Great Sage at this moment?
After much thought, she changed into a neat silver - gray men's clothing and quietly went to find Sun Wukong.
Thinking that he and his master and disciples had been on a tiring journey and Sun Wukong probably hadn't eaten anything good for a long time, Yang Xue quietly went to the kitchen to take a few snacks and steamed buns, and took two pots of wine with her before setting off.
After careful analysis, she flew towards the east. Standing on the cloud, she realized that she had thought too simply. She suddenly wished she had a positioning charm to find Sun Wukong's location with one click.
After searching in the air for half an hour, Yang Xue had no choice but to take out the book "Xue" and was going to unlock some of its skills.
"My dear treasure, since you're a heavenly book, please help me." She held the book in both hands and prayed, then input spiritual energy and used her mind to give it a command.
"Find Sun Wukong!"
"Find Sun Wukong!"
After silently repeating this in her heart for a long time, the heavenly book "Xue" flipped its pages rustlingly and emitted a dazzling light in the dark night.
Yang Xue was overjoyed. She excitedly clasped her hands together and waited for Sun Wukong to come.
However, after the pages closed, she waited and waited, but the heavenly book showed no more signs of activity.
"It seems I was too naive to think you were all - powerful." She sighed, put the book away, and was going to search again. If it really didn't work, she would take out the magic hair to summon him.
She was very worried about Sun Wukong. What if it was her who had implicated him, and he didn't really give up on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures? Wouldn't it be difficult for him?
Just then, she suddenly felt someone patting her on the shoulder.
All of a sudden, her hair stood on end. Yang Xue suddenly turned around. "Who?"
"It's me." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from above. "Were you looking for me?"
"Great Sage?" After recovering from the shock, Yang Xue covered her chest and looked at Sun Wukong in front of her. "You scared me. How did you know I was looking for you?"
"Did I scare you?" Seeing her frightened look, Sun Wukong immediately pulled her into his arms and gently patted her on the back. "I came as soon as I heard your voice. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time."
"..." Surrounded by the warm embrace, all of Yang Xue's questions suddenly disappeared. She just leaned stupidly against his broad chest.
Was this still Sun Wukong?
When she first met him, he was a typical straight - laced man, always suspecting that she had some bad intentions. He was outspoken and had a loud voice...
But the man holding her now was clearly a gentle and considerate handsome young master. She hadn't seen his gray Buddhist robe for a long time.
Moreover, Yang Xue also noticed that in these few meetings, his clothing styles and colors were different each time, and even his hairstyle had changed.
"How did you hear me? I originally planned to find you. But after flying for a while, I found that I didn't have any powerful magic. So I took out my heavenly book, thinking that it could help me find you. I didn't expect you to really appear." She spoke softly, extremely happy in her heart. "Could it be telepathy?"
"Just now I suddenly heard you calling me, as if you were right next to my ear. Then a faint golden light brought me here." Sun Wukong was quite surprised. "Could it be the credit of that book?"
"Yeah, it's possible." Yang Xue left his embrace, took out the heavenly book, and handed it to him. "Do you want to try to unlock the golden hoop? I heard you went to the Heavenly Court. Did something happen?"
Sun Wukong took the yellowed book. When his finger touched it, he clearly saw a gilded character written on the cover, "Xue".
Yang Xue saw it too. "Wow, I gave it a name, and it actually wrote it down by itself."
Sun Wukong stroked the book. "Did the God of Wealth tell you I went to the Heavenly Court? Why does he keep coming to you instead of doing his job as the Good - Fortune Boy?"
Yang Xue couldn't help laughing. This was the real Sun Wukong.
"I went to ask my master," Sun Wukong carefully flipped through the yellowed pages, but there was still not a single word. "My original master, Patriarch Bodhi, he said he didn't know of any old man in the Three Realms who was like the one you described. This book is indeed worthy of the name of a heavenly book, but he has never heard of such a magical book either."
Yang Xue looked up. He actually told her that his real master was Patriarch Bodhi.
Since he trusted her so much, she should also try to tell him some of her own secrets.
"I know that you learned all your skills from Patriarch Bodhi. You sailed across the sea to find him to learn the art of immortality, and it took you more than twenty years." She stared into Sun Wukong's surprised eyes and quietly waited for his question.
"Did this book tell you that?" Sun Wukong was extremely shocked. Since he returned after learning the skills, he had never told anyone about his master, but she knew so many details.
