The cute little monkey, Ba-ba-shi, hadn't seen Yang Xue for a long time. So, he brought some rare and precious fruits to her room but found her absent.
He had also been told by the old monkey butler to inform the Great Sage and Miss Yang that the Black Panther King and the Moon-white Fox had left, and Qingqing insisted on meeting Miss Yang.
To relay the message well to his sister, he had even sorted out his thoughts carefully. However, after waiting for a whole morning, neither the Great Sage nor Miss Yang got up.
He squatted on the corridor, looking at the scenery on the opposite mountain. It was almost noon when he finally saw the Great Sage come out of the room.
Just that, why was the Great Sage so strange today?
He clearly looked in high spirits, with redder lips and whiter teeth than usual, but there was full of melancholy between his eyebrows and he kept sighing.
"Great Sage, you've finally gotten up. You never lie in bed, so why did you stay in bed for so long today? Everyone thought you had gone out again." The little furry monkey squatted beside the door, looking extremely adorable.
Sun Wukong walked towards him with a smile, stroking his little head and asking, "What are you here for?"
"These are for Sister Xue'er. She said she likes sweet fruits. And Sister Qingqing is waiting to meet Sister Xue'er. She said she wants to explain the matter of Qingqiu carefully." Ba-ba-shi said in a milky voice, climbing up Sun Wukong's arm and sitting on his shoulder.
"Okay, anything else?" In a complicated mood today, he wanted to stay with Xue'er and had no intention of dealing with other things, so he was going to dismiss the little monkey.
"Um, there is more." Ba-ba-shi nodded seriously, "There are also two celestial immortals, and they brought some people from the Underworld. They've been waiting for a long time. They said they want to meet Sister Xue'er."
"Celestial immortals?" Sun Wukong asked seriously, "Which two are they? What are their characteristics?"
"Um..." The little monkey propped his chin with one hand, his big eyes rolling around, "One always carries a lot of gold with him. He gave each little monkey in the front yard a big gold ingot. He's the one who has come here several times before. And the other one has an eye on his forehead. He's good-looking, but a bit scary."
Sun Wukong sneered in his heart. Good for you, God of Wealth. You still haven't given up. Even at this time, you're still pestering Xue'er!
He put Ba-ba-shi on the ground, "Go and play. Go to find Xue'er tomorrow. I'll go and dismiss them first. You tell the cook to prepare some food and send it to your Sister Xue'er's room. She's weak and needs to replenish her strength. Don't skimp on the meat."
"Okay, Great Sage." Ba-ba-shi put the fruits on the high platform in the corridor and bounced away, "I'll go and find my mother and ask her to give the order."
"Go." Sun Wukong looked at the cute little monkey and felt extremely happy in his heart, imagining that maybe soon, he would also have his own little monkey.
"Hey, what's wrong with the Great Sage's neck? Was it bitten by a bug?" Ba-ba-shi stared at the red mark on Sun Wukong's neck and asked innocently, "Which mosquito dared to suck the Great Sage's blood? It probably won't be able to reincarnate in the next life or the life after that."
"Cough, cough, cough..." He touched his neck embarrassedly and felt sweet in his heart. Xue'er wouldn't reincarnate because she wouldn't die. "Hurry up and go."
He originally wanted to go and dismiss the God of Wealth and Yang Jian, but when he saw the bright red fruits on the high platform and thought of what happened last night, he picked them up and turned back into the room.
Yang Xue, who was extremely weak due to overexertion, was sleeping soundly even though she had taken the elixir he begged from the Supreme Lord Lao Jun. But her face was still a bit pale.
Her charming red lips looked as if they would bleed with a light touch because of last night. The whole person was huddled pitifully in the quilt, showing her bony but plump shoulders.
The clothes were originally thin, and last night they had long since turned into shreds in his hands and were now lying on the ground.
Looking at the scene from last night, Sun Wukong stroked his chin contentedly, and the smile on his lips wouldn't fade away.
He walked over and brought the fruit to her lips, "Xue'er, the fruit Ba-ba-shi brought. Have a taste."
"I'm so sleepy. I'm not hungry." Although she was sleepy and tired, it was almost noon, so she couldn't sleep soundly even with her eyes closed.
Especially because of the intense activities last night, today, when the Great Sage touched her lightly, she felt strange all over. It was as if she could burn at any moment, and she was longing for his approach...
She buried her head in the quilt, thinking whether this kind of thing was really so addictive.
She was in so much pain last night, but now, when his hand stroked her cheek, she unconsciously wanted to get into his arms.
But her reason told her that she mustn't do that, or after today, there might not even be a bone left of her.
"Do you feel better?" Sun Wukong picked her out of the quilt and rubbed his cheek against hers gently like holding a cat, "The Supreme Lord Lao Jun's elixir is very powerful. I'm sure you've recovered. The God of Wealth and Yang Jian are in the hall. How about we go and meet them?"
"..." Yang Xue opened her eyes and sensed something unusual.
Last night, because there were too many barriers set up, they couldn't appear directly in front of her. Fortunately.
Otherwise, in her current state, how could she meet people now.
"Don't go, don't go. Great Sage, I just want to sleep." She pulled the quilt over herself and buried herself, "Great Sage, bring me a piece of clothing."
She could feel that the Great Sage's gaze on her was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was looking at food, and he even swallowed his saliva.
"Alright then." He replied hoarsely and quickly walked to the door, "Then I'll go and have a look."
Yang Xue watched his slightly staggering steps and couldn't help but think, could it be that the Great Sage still hasn't had enough?
The God of Wealth waited and waited, and his face gradually turned ugly.
Especially when he felt Yang Jian's gaze on him, his breath became even more unstable.
Why did he always feel recently that the things Yang Jian said to him were strange? He always said some unusual things that were easy to misunderstand.
Moreover, his eyes were getting bolder and bolder. When they landed on a person, it felt like being stripped naked and looked at.
So, he just wanted to see Yang Xue to get rid of that unrealistic and terrifying feeling.
Finally, Sun Wukong came.
The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, stood up, "Where is Miss Yang?"
"She's weak and still sleeping. If you have anything urgent, I can convey it for you." Saying this, Sun Wukong sat down on the chair proudly, smiling and crossing his legs in high spirits.
He was wearing a moon-white robe today. The pure white inner collar was more distinct around his neck, just setting off the red mark on his neck.
But he was afraid that the God of Wealth wouldn't see it, so he pretended to tidy up his collar.
Yang Jian, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed something strange, "Great Sage, what's wrong with your neck?"
Saying this, his gaze turned to the God of Wealth meaningfully, "It seems that Miss Yang is really exhausted. I'm afraid the God of Wealth won't be able to see her today!"
"What do you mean!" The God of Wealth suddenly jumped up from the chair and walked aggressively towards Sun Wukong, "What did you do to her?"
"None of your business?" Sun Wukong raised his head, and the mark on his neck became more obvious, "She's my wife. Please show some respect, God of Wealth. Don't overstep your bounds and make everyone laugh."
