Chapter 368 Monkey King's Sheep-Fleecing
Chapter 368 Monkey King's Sheep-Fleecing
Just as Lin Liuyi was getting ready to go to interstellar space, Monkey sent a message.
"June 1st, can the system send me there to find Daiyu first?"
"Great Sage, are you all ready?"
"Of course!"
Not only did Monkey King pack his luggage, he even went to Heaven and took advantage of the situation.
He first went to the Queen Mother of the West to ask for some peaches, since his younger sister Daiyu loved to eat them.
Then he went to the Tushita Palace to ask Laozi for some more elixirs, because his sister Daiyu seemed to be in poor health and he needed to have some on hand.
At this point, Monkey King completely forgot that Daiyu had already been cured by the elixir he had given her.
When the topic of illness came up, he went to Shennong Guan and picked some herbs. Anyway, he had a space, and those herbs could grow in his space and survive. What if Daiyu needed them sometime?
Next, go to the Weaver Girl to ask for some cloud-woven brocade, so you can make clothes for Daiyu!
"Great Sage, what do you need this brocade for? You're not a woman, you can't wear this!"
"If I can't wear it, someone else can! Fairy Weaver Girl, give me more, and I want brightly colored ones!"
Monkey King stared at the other person, wanting more, but who knew if this fabric was enough to make clothes for Daiyu!
With food, clothing, shelter, and transportation all in place, now that we have clothes, we need to find the God of Food.
"God of Cookery, prepare one serving of every dish you have here!"
"Great Sage, I have over thirteen thousand dishes here! Do you want them all?"
"One of everything, please! And if there's more, I'll take that too!" He has plenty of space anyway!
Thinking of this, Wukong even asked the God of Food for some immortal rice to give to Daiyu later.
As for accommodation, Monkey King asked the Heavenly Court's weapon refiner to build a small house for Daiyu. Although the house was small, it had all the necessary facilities.
If it's alright, there's the Somersault Cloud, so Monkey King thinks he doesn't need it. However, he secretly got Daiyu a celestial horse.
Then Monkey King went to the Dragon Palace to ask the Dragon King for some pearls and corals, which isn't too much to ask, right?
"Not at all, Great Sage! I'll pack all the other underwater treasures in there for you. There's a big pink seashell inside; it would look beautiful as a bed!"
"This is good, this is good! Old Dragon King, you're really generous!" Monkey King was very satisfied.
"Absolutely! I'll give you some seafood too! Prime Minister Turtle! Go and prepare all kinds of edible fish, shrimp, and crabs for the Great Sage!"
Monkey King was even more pleased now, and so was the Dragon King. Back then, when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he had settled many scores for them.
Of course, Monkey King knew this too; otherwise, those people in Heaven wouldn't have been able to give him all sorts of things so easily.
"Great Sage, you're going to give this to a girl, right? There's one thing you absolutely must give her: Guanyin Bodhisattva's nectar. I've heard it's a holy elixir for beauty. If a girl uses just a drop, her face will be so soft and smooth!"
The Dragon King had heard that Sun Wukong was collecting things everywhere, supposedly to give to his beloved girl.
The Heavenly Court has already been thoroughly plundered, so the Dragon Palace is only a matter of time; the old Dragon King has long been prepared.
However, since Sun Wukong had already fleeced everyone in the East, the people of Heaven couldn't calm down without taking some fleecing in the West. So, the task of persuading Sun Wukong to fleece the West fell to the Dragon King.
Wukong looked at the old Dragon King with surprise, but then realized that it made sense.
"That's true, there seem to be some bamboo shoots left in the bamboo grove over by the Bodhisattva's place!"
Wukong thought about it and agreed. It didn't make sense to plunder from one place and then not from another. Back then, he had been suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years!
Without hesitation, Monkey King went straight to the Bodhisattva after leaving the Dragon Palace, shamelessly asking for the nectar in the jade bottle.
"Wukong, I don't give away this nectar so easily!"
"Good bodhisattva, please give me some, I really need it!" Wukong didn't dare to say what he was doing.
"The journey to the West is now complete, what use do you have for this nectar?"
"Well, I just wanted to plant some fruit trees on Flower Fruit Mountain, right? Bodhisattva, you can revive the ginseng fruit tree with your sweet dew, so I'm asking for some to save my fruit trees!" Wukong came up with a reason in a moment of inspiration.
"You!"
The Bodhisattva, being soft-hearted, gave Wukong half a bottle of nectar.
"Thank you, Bodhisattva. I'll dig up some of your purple bamboo and plant it on Flower Fruit Mountain!"
"You impudent monkey, go! Go!"
In this way, Wukong successfully dug up the purple bamboo and its shoots. He thought about it and realized that there was nothing left to gather in the west, only scriptures, which Daiyu probably wouldn't like to read.
Never mind then. Just now, thinking of the ginseng fruit, Wukong somersaulted to Wuzhuang Temple.
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal! Can I have two of your ginseng fruits?"
"Here you go! Now that you've got it, get out of here!"
Zhenyuan Daxian got a headache as soon as he saw it was Sun Wukong. All he wanted was the ginseng fruit. Give it to him and leave quickly. If he didn't leave, who knew if the tree could still be saved!
When Monkey King saw that Zhenyuan Daxian was so agreeable, he suddenly felt that something was missing!
What a pity! But he had already said it, so he could only take the two ginseng fruits, look at the ginseng fruit tree with reluctance, and leave!
Zhenyuan Daxian closed the door as soon as Sun Wukong stepped out of Wuzhuang Temple.
"Tch, you stingy person!"
Wukong thought for a moment and realized that he had already been to the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Palace, and the Western Paradise, so the only place left to visit was the Underworld.
But what can you bring to the underworld?
"Oh, Great Sage, take whatever you like." Yama didn't care. What's in the underworld? It's full of ghosts. How could Sun Wukong take a ghost with him?
Even if you really take the ghost with you, that's fine!
After much deliberation, Wukong picked a handful of red spider lilies from the River of Oblivion and then asked Meng Po for a bowl of soup.
Sigh, there's really nothing to bring to the underworld!
Next, of course, we'll take a stroll around Tang Dynasty and Gao Village, buy some things from that time for Daiyu, and visit our master and fellow disciples.
Finally, of course, we packed up the fruits and other things from Flower Fruit Mountain and brought them to Daiyu as well.
Lin Liuyi was stunned and couldn't help but tease, "Great Sage, you've really prepared everything. You're really going to meet your beauty in a flurry of activity."
Monkey King scratched his head and grinned, "Of course! I've been waiting for this day for ages. Daiyu deserves the best! Sigh, I just asked Nezha for some lotus roots and he beat me up! And that Erlang Shen, all I wanted was a puppy for Daiyu to play with, and he chased me for 108,000 li!"
Wukong shook his head as he spoke, indicating his dissatisfaction.
"Chang'e is the best! I cut down some osmanthus trees in front of her door, and she didn't say anything. The Jade Rabbit even gave me a litter of baby rabbits. I'll give them all to Daiyu later!"
Lin Liu grinned from ear to ear, thinking, "Brother Monkey is really daring!"
Asking Nezha for lotus roots and Erlang Shen for his Howling Celestial Dog's puppies—no wonder they get beaten up!
"Never mind, never mind, I've almost saved up enough anyway. Don't tell Daiyu that I'm going to see her on June 1st, okay?"
"Why? Oh, I get it, I get it, it's a surprise! No problem, I'll have the system send it to you right away."
Lin Liuyi didn't delay any longer and had the system open a channel to send Monkey King over.
