Chapter 157: Return to Old Ways

Yang Xue couldn't help but feel curious. "Then how did you come down to the mortal world back then?"

"I cultivated a clone on my own. It took a huge amount of time and spiritual power. It's not as easy as your way." He turned his head and smiled slightly, looking at her as if she were his own outstanding child. "You're extremely talented. Creating a clone should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

"..." She had actually tried it before. Although it couldn't be described as a piece of cake, it wasn't that difficult either.

Well, she might as well take it as a compliment.

This person was mysterious. Maybe she would have to interact with him frequently in the future. She might as well consider it as repaying the great favor he had done for her back then.

"May I know your honorable surname?" How could she not know the name of such an important person? "How should I address you in the future?"

"We'll have to deal with each other frequently in the future. You'll naturally know next time." With that, he put away his walking stick. "I hope to receive the clone the girl makes for me when we meet next time."

"I'll try my best." Yang Xue watched his disappearing figure and always felt that she had been tricked.

However, not long after, she was sure that she had been tricked.

This mysterious great benefactor turned out to be someone she was familiar with.

But that's a story for later. She had to go back to the Great Sage to reassure him.

Yang Xue knew that the Great Sage must be extremely anxious now. He might be thinking of some way to find her.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, she learned that Sun Wukong had left and hadn't returned for two days.

Only then did Yang Xue know that during the few hours she and the old man had been away, five days had passed in the mortal world.

It seemed that she still needed to explore and learn more about this world.

She went to the Spirit Mountain, the Heavenly Court, and even went to the Western Sea to find the White Dragon Horse. She also searched the Great Green Mountain and the Green Fox Hill. They all said that Sun Wukong had been there but then left.

Yang Xue was helpless. Suddenly, she thought of a place.

The Daughter Kingdom.

The autumn sun was particularly bright. It felt like being gently caressed by nature when it shone on her body.

The sky was high and the air was crisp. The leaves were turning yellow. The gentle breeze caressed her face, and from time to time, it made people feel a bit sad.

The ancient poets had written so many sad poems about autumn. Autumn seemed lively at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was indeed a sense of sadness. Because when Yang Xue looked at this kingdom that had the deepest bond with the Great Sage, she unexpectedly felt a strange sense of sadness.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the corner of her eye. Sure enough, it was wet.

She couldn't really explain why she felt this way. But when she came to the city gate of the capital and looked at the place where she had rescued dozens of girls overnight, she suddenly understood where this sadness came from.

She was sad for this mortal world that hid so much pain, for the tragic and comical dramas that were constantly staged in the world.

Especially in this place full of memories, it was of great significance to her. Since coming to this world, the memories here were the most unforgettable for her.

She quietly came to Hua'er's inn. Standing in front of the second-floor window where she often drank tea, Hua'er, wearing a long red robe embroidered with golden peonies, was drinking tea and stroking her cat while looking at the passers-by downstairs. While smiling, she let out a long sigh.

Yang Xue didn't show herself to disturb her. Maybe that long sigh of hers was because she had thought of her.

She gently raised her hand. The next moment, a娇艳 red rose appeared beside Hua'er's hand, even with glistening dewdrops on it.

This was her blessing for Hua'er. Yang Xue thought that Boss Hua'er must be happy and content in her later years. She wished that she could have a precious relationship with someone much younger.

Hua'er casually glanced at the rose and was so startled that she jumped up from the reclining chair. The tabby cat in her arms was also scared and nimbly jumped onto the table, carefully sniffing the suddenly appeared flower.

Yang Xue smiled slightly. She knew that Hua'er would definitely like this passionate red rose.

She seemed to be able to see that Hua'er would take this beautiful flower and walk through the long street to see the blacksmith she had admired for a long time.

Yes, the moment she saw Hua'er, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a moment of Hua'er's future life.

She was really different from before. She was no longer the White Bone Demon that everyone chased and beat. She no longer needed to hide and live in fear and adapt to the unpredictable future.

She seemed to have really stopped being a mortal.

Now she could fly freely in the air, and so many once unattainable immortals wanted to worship her as their teacher. Being reborn was really a magnificent and colorful experience.

Yang Xue was very grateful for this new life. Flying above the Daughter Kingdom, she suddenly couldn't wait to see the Great Sage.

She guessed that Sun Wukong must have given up looking for her and instead came to look for his master, Tang Seng, waiting for her to come back.

He was such an impatient person. He definitely wouldn't stay obediently on the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He would go crazy if he did.

Just outside the palace, suddenly a familiar voice rushed towards her.

"Xue'er!" Sun Wukong happily pulled her into his arms. "You're finally back."

"Great Sage, I missed you so much." Yang Xue tightly hugged his waist. "I knew you'd be here!"

"Hey!" Suddenly, a gust of wind flashed past her ears. Yang Xue's arms were empty, and Sun Wukong was gone.

A familiar figure flew down from above the palace and landed steadily in front of Yang Xue.

"Xue'er, why don't you look clearly? You can't even tell the difference between me and him!" Sun Wukong angrily held his golden cudgel and pointed at the figure behind her. "I hate it most when someone looks exactly like me. But now you even took the opportunity to hug my woman. Humph, I'll definitely beat you until you're disfigured!"

Yang Xue's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at the figure behind her that looked exactly like the Great Sage. No wonder she had felt a momentary doubt just now. Why did the Great Sage's clothes smell strange today?

Yang Xue quickly admitted her mistake. "Great Sage, I was wrong. It's all because I missed you so much that I didn't distinguish carefully. But why is he here and why is he wearing the same clothes?"

"It's all Master's fault. We were playing a game. He said he wanted to distinguish between us again. He asked us to go out for a while and wait for him to get ready before making a confirmation. Who would have thought that you would come back just in time!" Sun Wukong gritted his teeth in hatred. "Tomorrow I'll go see the venerable Patriarch Bodhi and lock this senseless monkey in the Three-Star Cave. If he doesn't change his appearance, he'll never be allowed to go down the mountain."

Yang Xue was also a bit annoyed. She turned to look at the Six-Eared Macaque who was watching the show. "How could you take advantage of the situation?"

"I also want a wife like you. Since you threw yourself into my arms, there's no reason for me to refuse. Besides, the Six-Eared Macaque and I have a deep connection. Naturally, we have the same taste in women. I've lived for so long and haven't seen a more charming woman than you..."

"Come and get your death!" Sun Wukong couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed his golden cudgel and rushed over.

"Freeze!" Yang Xue raised her hand, pointed at the Six-Eared Macaque, and gently floated in front of him.

Sun Wukong put away his golden cudgel and gloated. "Xue'er is really amazing. She can even subdue him."

"Great Sage, don't you have my secret manual? Why can't you tell the difference from him?" Yang Xue walked around the Six-Eared Macaque who was frozen in the air, conjured a wooden stick, and tapped on his head. "I'm not happy that he looks the same as my husband."

"I'm not happy either, but the disguise technique can't change the essence," Sun Wukong said with infinite distress. "Moreover, he has been following the Patriarch Bodhi in the Unknown Cave for the past few years. His strength is still on par with mine."

"Let me do it!" Yang Xue suddenly conjured two shiny silver knives. "Do you know what I used to do?"

The Six-Eared Macaque said tremblingly, "Don't mess around. Even if you used to rob and kill people, you can't use me for practice!"

"I don't need practice. My skills are perfect. Now that my spiritual power is so strong that even the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva wants to worship me as her teacher, it should be easy to change your bone structure." With that, Yang Xue carefully rummaged through her Qiankun Bag and took out the junk she had picked up from various places over the years.

She used to be a forensic doctor. So in this world over the past few years, she had the habit of putting away things suitable for surgery into her Qiankun Bag when she encountered them.

"Don't..." The Six-Eared Macaque kept begging for mercy. "Grandma, I was wrong. I'll never dare to tease you again. Please spare me!"

"What were you doing earlier? Why didn't you think about this outcome when you were flirting with my wife!" Sun Wukong said proudly. "Let you show off. I've said that my wife is peerless. No beauty in the Three Realms dares to provoke her, but you just didn't listen!"

"Great Sage, I'm wrong, okay? I'll never appear in front of her with the same face as yours in the future. Please stop her!" The Six-Eared Macaque watched as Yang Xue rummaged through her bag and took out all kinds of strange tools, each emitting a cold light. It was obvious that she was serious.

"Don't be afraid. In our world, there are countless men and women who spend money to have surgery on their faces. As the Six-Eared Macaque, what's this little injury? Moreover, I'll definitely not let you have any scars." Now that she had magic powers, Yang Xue was very confident that she could do this plastic surgery well.

"Master, Master, save me!" The Six-Eared Macaque still wanted to struggle. Suddenly, he felt a numbness in his arm and then unexpectedly fainted.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be scaring him and looking at the extremely sharp small knife in her hand, Sun Wukong couldn't help but look sideways and said, "You're not really going to do it, are you?"

"Of course." Yang Xue set up a barrier, put on a self-made disinfected mask and protective clothing. "From now on, no one is allowed to disturb me."

"Don't worry, wife!" Sun Wukong watched her serious look and was attracted by the way she looked in the glasses. "Wife is really amazing."

Twenty minutes later...

Yang Xue used magic to stitch up his wound. She took out a pill from her Qiankun Bag and put it into the Six-Eared Macaque's mouth, then put away all the instruments.

Sun Wukong watched in a daze. He almost rushed over to pick her up. How could he have such a powerful wife!

"Wife, can you also make pills?" Sun Wukong looked at the pink pill in her hand and thought that he had never seen such a special pill before. Maybe she had made it herself.

"This was given to me by the Supreme Lord Lao Jun. I gave him the secret recipe, and he made it for me. It has a miraculous repairing effect." Yang Xue packed up and waited for the person on the bed to wake up. "Bandage him up first. After a month, no one in the world will mistake the two of you for each other."

Sun Wukong got closer to the Six-Eared Macaque who was floating horizontally in the air. Suddenly, he felt a bit reluctant.

"What's this?" He pointed to the white gauze on the Six-Eared Macaque's face.

"It's a kind of gauze," Yang Xue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something. "Since I can ignore that rule, can I rely on my knowledge and medical skills to save people?"

"What do you mean? What are you going to do?" Sun Wukong was a bit panicked. Seeing her confident and excited smile, he felt uneasy. "Who are you going to save? There are so many sick people in the world. Can you save them all?"

He remembered that Yang Xue had said that she used to study medicine and later became a forensic doctor.

But he clearly remembered that she had explained that a forensic doctor was someone who dissected dead bodies. She was very familiar with the human body structure.

Suddenly, he felt a bit scared. He was worried that she might suddenly have a crazy idea and, taking advantage of her current abilities, go to the mortal world to dissect dead bodies everywhere!

Thinking of that scene, Sun Wukong shuddered.

What should he do? If one day in the future he made her unhappy, would she cut open his chest?
