“...” Looking at the gleaming gold, Yang Xue felt a headache. Then she glanced at the Great Sage whose eyes seemed to be oozing ink. Summoning up her courage, she whispered, “Listen to my explanation...”
“I'm going to find him right now!” The Great Sage stepped past her and stormed out in a huff. “He hasn't even lifted the spell yet, but he just casually abducted you. I don't think he'll be the God of Wealth for long!”
“Hey, Great Sage...” In a hurry, Yang Xue directly hugged his leg. “Don't be impulsive. I have something important...”
“I'm really angry. Don't stop me!” He was seething with rage. With a scowl on his face, he tried to push her away. “You don't know your place at all! You're my woman. How could you just come with someone else without even saying a word when they called?”
“It was an urgent matter...” She tightly grasped the corner of Sun Wukong's clothes. “Can we talk it out nicely?”
“No!” Sun Wukong flew out of the Water Curtain Cave. “I'm going to...”
He was just about to say he'd be back soon when he looked up and saw the spectacle in the sky. He couldn't help but stop in mid - air. “Is the sky falling?”
Taking the opportunity, Yang Xue wrapped her arms around him. “The Heavenly Court has lost something very important. I'm sure they're looking for it right now. It's not a good time to go there.”
Sun Wukong turned to look at her and raised his eyebrows. “Is it related to you?”
“Mhm.” She gave a silly smile and kissed his cheek coquettishly. “Great Sage, don't be angry. I'll definitely let you know next time. But the Great Sage still doesn't trust me enough...”
“I was just worried about you!” He pretended to pry her arms off. “I was really worried, okay?”
“Mhm, I was wrong.” Yang Xue clung to him like an octopus. “Great Sage, I'm sorry for making you worry.”
“What did you steal to cause such a stir? Did you burn the Jade Emperor's beard?” Sun Wukong asked, his ears red as he tried to change the subject. He couldn't stand Yang Xue's coquetry.
“Not really. I took the Kunlun Mirror.” She leaned closer to his cheek as if showing off. “But, did you burn the Jade Emperor's beard?”
...
In the pavilion on the top of Flower - Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong looked at Yang Xue, who was being coy across from him, and seriously admonished her, “Don't do this again. Don't have any illusions. Those guys in the Heavenly Court are not to be trifled with. If they lock you up in the Heavenly Prison, you'll surely suffer.”
“But aren't you, the Great Sage, also fearless...”
“Can it be the same? If I go in, I can come out unscathed. But if you go in, I'll be beside myself...” Sun Wukong angrily pointed at her with his finger. Then he quickly stopped himself. “I really can't do anything about you. Even if you're lucky, you can't do whatever you want. Now you're not alone...”
“Mhm, next time I'll go with the Great Sage.” She took out the Kunlun Mirror like offering a treasure and showed it in front of him. “Take a look at this good thing. I got quite a haul this time.”
Sun Wukong glanced indifferently at the mirror placed on the table. Then it shrank into a tiny figure in front of him. He was completely unmoved by the legendary ancient divine artifact.
Yang Xue knew he was really angry, so she didn't say any more.
“Master, Sun Wukong was really worried about you. Maybe he was almost on the verge of crying.” The moment he saw Sun Wukong, Qing Xuan burrowed into Yang Xue's hand. “His eyes are so fierce.”
“Why are you following her? What on earth do you want? Go where you should go. Don't have any bad ideas.” Sun Wukong didn't easily trust this uninvited good - for - nothing. “You are indeed a rare treasure, but we can't afford you. Go back to the Heavenly Court.”
“But...” Yang Xue was reluctant to hand him over. But when she met Sun Wukong's warning look, she obediently shut her mouth.
“I just want to watch the fun. Now the Jade Emperor must be furious. The first person he'll suspect is you, Great Sage. I have a little suggestion. How about going to the Heavenly Court now to see what's going on and clear your suspicions?” Qing Xuan's big eyes were rolling around. There were plenty of ideas behind his innocent eyes.
“Brilliant!” Yang Xue clapped her hands and laughed. “Good idea!”
“Mhm, it's not a bad idea.” Looking at Yang Xue's excited face, he couldn't stay angry.
He also wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to see their attitude towards him.
For no reason, only Flower - Fruit Mountain caught fire, and many trees were destroyed by the stones thrown by the heavenly soldiers. He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Yang Xue was extremely excited. She got up and massaged Sun Wukong's shoulders. “Great Sage, aren't you angry anymore? Let's go and watch the fun now?”
“Don't be hasty. We'll go at night.” After calming down, Sun Wukong became more rational. “Going now will only arouse suspicion.”
“Great Sage is wise.” Qing Xuan blinked his big eyes and looked at Sun Wukong with a smile on his face.
“Hey... You weren't like this to me before. Do you like Sun Wukong too?”
“Yeah, I've known about his heroic deeds for many years. If you hadn't been guided and found me earlier, maybe I would have recognized the Great Sage as my master.” Qing Xuan took small steps and walked in front of Sun Wukong. “We're kindred spirits.”
Sun Wukong ignored him. He grabbed Yang Xue's hand and walked down the mountain. “I'll take you to eat. Little Monkey 88 misses you so much and has been clamoring to see you.”
“Is it the Great Sage who misses you? Are you going to kiss?” Qing Xuan jumped from the stone table to Yang Xue's shoulder and shouted excitedly. “I want to watch! I want to watch!”
“...” Yang Xue was speechless. Forgetting her shyness, she wondered why Qing Xuan seemed like a different person in front of Sun Wukong.
“...” Sun Wukong turned around, grabbed him from Yang Xue's shoulder, and said, “In your dreams!”
After saying that, he swung his hand, and Qing Xuan was thrown out like a stone!
“...”
“Don't worry. He'll come back by himself. Since he's recognized you as his master, he'll surely find you.” Then, Sun Wukong put his arm around her waist. “I'll take you to meet an old acquaintance.”
“Okay.” She curled her lips and said mischievously, “Weren't you going to take me to see 88? Did Qing Xuan hit the nail on the head?”
Was he really going to kiss her just now? Hahaha!
“...” Sun Wukong turned his head away and tightened his hand as he retorted awkwardly, “It's not like we haven't kissed before.”
Hey... The Great Sage pursed his lips, and his ears were red.
Although things were different now, the Great Sage was still so easy to tease. Otherwise, she'd pin him down in the grass and kiss him to her heart's content right now.
“I don't want to walk anymore. Great Sage, carry me.” Yang Xue stopped in her tracks and stretched out her hands waiting for him.
Sun Wukong didn't even look back. He just squatted down directly, putting his hands behind his back. “Get on.”
Her heart skipped a beat, as if it had been hit by something.
The Great Sage was so easy to appease. Such a boyfriend was really endearing.
...
In Yang Jian's mansion, the God of Wealth sat by the window and drank a pot of green tea. Listening to the chaos outside, he searched for her all afternoon but she didn't come back. His heart gradually turned cold.
He thought that after Yang Xue got such a good thing, she would at least come to see him.
Yang Jian came back from outside. Seeing his dejected look, he couldn't help laughing. “What, are you sad because she didn't come?”
“With the Kunlun Mirror, she could escape no matter what. But...”
“Hey,” Yang Jian shook his head. “It's reasonable for a girl to run away in a panic when she sees such a commotion. She didn't know she could leave safely.”
“Do you think, why did she fall for Sun Wukong?” The God of Wealth sighed by the window, looking aggrieved. “I'd feel better if she fell for you. His stubborn temper, yet she's so infatuated with him.”
“...” Yang Jian was helpless. “I think you need a cup of the Water of Forgetfulness.”
