"What do you want those Mother Monkeys for?" Sun Wukong asked in confusion.
He had no interest in any of those Mother Monkeys because he already had someone in mind.
Sha Wujing's face turned red as he stammered, "Well... I... I..."
"Sigh..."
"Forget it, I understand. I'll give you all three thousand Mother Monkeys," Sun Wukong said seriously.
Sha Wujing instantly looked as if he had won a grand prize, quickly waving his hands, "No, I only need one! Just one, really just one..."
"Is one enough?" Sun Wukong looked at Sha Wujing with a gloomy expression.
Sha Wujing fell silent; he couldn't respond to that.
"Then... how about another one?"
Sun Wukong patted Sha Wujing's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, they're all yours. I don't like Mother Monkeys, and I don't want any."
"555~ Monkey King, you..." Sha Wujing was so moved he couldn't find the words.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
After comforting Sha Wujing for a while, Sun Wukong helplessly said, "Old Sha, I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing. Why didn't you mention it to His Majesty before we came?"
Sha Wujing's expression darkened, as if Sun Wukong had hit a sore spot.
"I... I come from a poor family and I'm not good-looking. Unlike you, Monkey King, with your great powers and charming words, I can't even deceive a girl. How can I possibly speak to His Majesty in this embarrassing situation?"
"Then you... you shouldn't take it out on Mother Monkey..." Sun Wukong said, astonished.
Sha Wujing smiled slightly and explained, "At this point, the only one who wouldn't look down on me is probably Mother Monkey. It doesn't matter; if it's Mother Monkey, then so be it. It's better than being a lifelong bachelor."
Such a poignant statement naturally touched Sun Wukong. He patted Sha Wujing's shoulder, saying nothing.
He understood the pain of being single!
Thus, ahead in the group, the two began to whisper in unison.
"What use do I have for this iron rod?"
"..."
Li Hong felt quite helpless as he tried to shake off the incessant chatter from Peng, feeling a headache coming on.
It was as if this guy had turned into a different person, insisting on bragging about his numerous flat villas in Gao Lao Zhuang and his stunning wife whom Li Hong had never seen.
Li Hong was also a single man, and more so, he was a three-no youth without a car, house, or girlfriend. How could he endure such provocation?
At this point, Li Hong felt that joining this family visit group was completely a mistake.
The scenery of Gao Lao Zhuang wasn't particularly impressive, but Peng found it quite enjoyable.
The group stayed with Peng in Gao Lao Zhuang for a night, feasting on roasted python before happily continuing their journey.
Peng also caught a glimpse of Gao Cuilan. Although he was somewhat displeased with her old father, he still held back his feelings out of respect for Gao Cuilan.
After settling Gao Cuilan and her father in the villa bestowed by Li Shimin, Peng did not forget his mission and followed the group on the long journey westward to visit relatives.
As they traveled west, they were nearing the edge of the Tang Dynasty's territory.
With sunset approaching, they found themselves surrounded by forests, yet not a single homestead could be seen in the wilderness.
"Alas, it seems we might have to sleep under the stars," Golden Cicada said with a bitter smile.
Li Hong naturally understood that they were almost at Yellow Wind Ridge. There was a great demon known as the Yellow Wind Monster residing there.
With a half-smile, Li Hong remarked, "That may not be the case; the Empress is blessed. How could she possibly sleep in the wild?"
Just as they laughed, within a cave on Yellow Wind Ridge, the Yellow Wind Monster, adorned in leopard patterns and gleaming gold, lounged back in a chair listening to his subordinate, Tiger Vanguard, report.
"My lord, it's true! The meat of Golden Cicada is tender and juicy; when cooked, it's crispy on the outside and tender inside, crisp and smooth, leaving a fragrant taste that is rich yet not greasy."
"You fool! Do you really believe that butcher's words?" The Yellow Wind Monster scolded Tiger Vanguard irritably.
Tiger Vanguard scratched his head thoughtfully and replied, "Right, right! And after eating this Golden Cicada, it can also replenish kidney energy and enhance virility."
The Yellow Wind Monster remained unfazed and asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh, it seems there's another effect. After consuming it, one can achieve immortality."
The Yellow Wind Monster's eyes drooped, showing no interest.
"Forget it. We should support Supreme in his new venture selling meat; it's his first order after all. By the way, did he promise any benefits?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Tiger Vanguard eagerly presented a bottle of shimmering, fragrant elixir to the Yellow Wind Monster.
"This is the Weige personally refined by Supreme. I heard its effects have been enhanced several times!"
The Yellow Wind Monster opened the vial and took a look. After confirming it was the familiar blue pill, he finally felt at ease.
"Alright then, having taken Supreme's benefits, I can't just sit idly by. So, Tiger Vanguard, take my zero-watt treasure and go capture the Golden Cicada."
Tiger Vanguard was overjoyed and quickly bowed in response, "Yes, my lord."
A zero-watt treasure! Capturing a Golden Cicada would be a piece of cake; causing chaos would be no problem at all!
Meanwhile, the few people at the foot of the mountain continued to advance step by step, completely unaware that danger was about to strike.
Only Li Hong, who knew how the story would unfold, had a faint sense of foreboding.
"Monkey, where exactly are we?" Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong tossed the map tied to his waist towards Peng and replied irritably, "Look for yourself."
Peng wasn't annoyed; he took the map and glanced at it, finally exclaiming in disappointment, "Damn it, we still have so far to go!"
Li Hong leaned over curiously and asked, "How do you know how far we have left?"
Peng smirked and pointed at a constantly active red dot on the map. "See that? That's our current location. This is called Location Tracking, something a Western Monk like you wouldn't understand."
"…"
Li Hong thought to himself, What the hell?
This Damn it is clearly Satellite Positioning! When did the world of Journey to the West start using such high-tech stuff?
After walking a few steps, Li Hong noticed a large ear on the map and curiously asked, "What's that?"
"Hehe, that's the Thousand-Mile Eye Navigation System."
Peng proudly tapped on the ear icon, and suddenly a voice echoed.
"This is the Thousand-Mile Eye Three Realms Navigation System. Welcome to this navigation service. Target location confirmed: Great Thunder Sound Temple! In five hundred meters, turn right at the third Poplar tree…"
Li Hong: "…"
At this moment, Li Hong truly felt like he had been hit by a truck.
What on earth is this Damn it Thousand-Mile Eye Three Realms Navigation System? Is it not just a knockoff of some navigation software?
Just as Li Hong was complaining, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
A gust of wind comparable to a Category 12 hurricane swept through, stirring up yellow sand that danced wildly in the air. In the midst of the hazy yellow, it was impossible to see what was happening in front of them.
It wasn't until Golden Cicada let out a startled cry that everyone realized that Golden Cicada, who had been riding on the back of White Dragon Horse, had actually been blown away.
Moreover, as the wind speed increased, Golden Cicada's figure seemed to vanish from the air in an instant!
Wind Maiden sneaking in? Crystal explosion? Instant game over?
Everyone was left in a state of confusion!
