60: Chapter 60 What if Sun Wukong doesn’t go?
60 -60 What if Sun Wukong doesn’t go?
Sun Wukong’s tone was calm, which left the Four Seas Dragon Kings somewhat unsure, and they inadvertently exchanged glances. free𝑤ebnovel.com
There were not many dealings between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Race.
The demons that could make the Four Seas Dragon Clan personally leave the Eastern Sea for a visit were even fewer.
Although in ancient times, the Dragon Clan was already affiliated with the Demon Court.
But now the Dragon Clan is aligned with the Celestial Court and Buddhism, and the relationship between Buddhism and Daoism and the Demon Race is not very good, which has also led to a strained relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Race.
Given that, their visit as the Dragon Clan naturally could not be too enthusiastic, lest Sun Wukong sense something amiss and become wary, rendering all their subsequent calculations void.
If they failed to accomplish this task and Buddhism held them accountable later on, the Dragon Clan would be in trouble.
After pondering for a moment, the East Sea Dragon King laughed heartily and said, “What are you saying, Great King?
We have long heard of a Monkey King on Mount Huaguo with vast divine skills, and we have been eager to meet you.
It’s just that we haven’t had the chance to visit until now.
Today, hearing that the Great King has returned, my four brothers and I have come to catch a glimpse of the Great King’s splendor!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
Following the words of the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, the South Sea Dragon King, the North Sea Dragon King, and the West Sea Dragon King also chimed in at this time.
“Is it really just a visit?”
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered with golden light.
Were it not for the Dragon Clan’s formidable power, which made them difficult to offend, Sun Wukong would have already gathered his forces.
He laughed and said, “Please come in, sirs, please come in!”
At the same time, Sun Wukong’s gaze swept over the Dragon Kings without revealing a trace.
The Four Seas Dragon Kings couldn’t help but feel a shiver in their hearts, that feeling of being scrutinized made them feel as if they were naked.
But the sensation was fleeting and quickly passed.
They decided not to think too much about it.
What they didn’t know was that Sun Wukong had already seen through their levels of cultivation.
The most powerful, naturally, was the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage.
The other three Dragon Kings were only at the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, and the Tortoise Prime Minister who followed them had only reached the level of a Golden Immortal.
With such levels of cultivation, Sun Wukong was naturally able to relax a bit.
He also understood why they could easily break through his formation—it was because of the Treasure Bead hidden in the sleeve of the East Sea Dragon King.
Clearly, this bead must have been gifted by a formidable power behind the Dragon Clan.
Sun Wukong had already suspected this, and seeing such a powerful bead only confirmed his suspicions.
In contrast to Sun Wukong’s vigilance, the Four Seas Dragon Kings breathed a sigh of relief, at least seeing that Sun Wukong was not averse to their arrival.
This also meant that their purpose for this visit was half-achieved.
Now, all they needed was to coax Sun Wukong into agreeing to go to the Eastern Sea to fetch the treasure.
Soon, the Dragon Clan, led by Sun Wukong, arrived at a cave dwelling.
After the Four Seas Dragon Kings were seated, the monkeys of Mount Huaguo became busy, preparing food to entertain the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
Sun Wukong sat at the head, with the Four Seas Dragon Kings seated on both sides.
The four Tortoise Prime Ministers who had accompanied them sat below the Four Seas Dragon Kings on both sides.
After that, the fine wine and food flowed continuously.
Being treated so hospitably, the Four Seas Dragon Kings were overjoyed and ate to their heart’s content.
It wasn’t until after the third round of drinks that they finally began to converse, and the atmosphere became quite warm.
Above the void of Mount Huaguo,
The Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Bodhisattva, by tracking the energy left on the East Sea Dragon King, naturally became aware of what was happening.
They were quite pleasantly surprised in their hearts.
Secretly feeling that a great achievement was about to be accomplished.
The East Sea Dragon King began to boast skillfully, starting to feed Sun Wukong seductive flattery.
The compliments came one after another.
Sun Wukong was flattered to the point of ecstasy, feeling that it was such a pity they hadn’t met sooner.
No matter how he looked at it, the East Sea Dragon King seemed more and more pleasing to the eye, and he almost started addressing him as a brother.
Of course, this was just a facade; in reality, Sun Wukong’s guard against the Four Seas Dragon Kings had not lessened in the slightest.
After all, Sun Wukong was well aware of the potential dangers.
A stranger who starts flattering you the moment they meet you—Wukong didn’t believe it was without ulterior motives.
As the conversation went on, during the banquet, the Four Seas Dragon Kings also had their Tortoise Prime Minister bring delicacies from the Four Seas.
To share with the monkeys of Mount Huaguo.
Everything seemed as if it truly was a visit to Sun Wukong, and as for any other matters, they were not mentioned at all.
When it came to such things, the cunning of the Four Seas Dragon Kings was profound, not like the naive Demon King of Chaos.
Who could be easily manipulated and played like a pawn in others’ hands.
The banquet went on until midnight.
The full moon was sinking in the west.
Many of Mount Huaguo’s monkeys were also sprawled out, utterly drunk, hugging jars of wine and snoring away in a deep slumber.
Even the faces of the Four Seas Dragon Kings were somewhat flushed at this moment, showing signs of drunkenness.
The East Sea Dragon King staggered to his feet from his seat, waved at Sun Wukong, and, supported by the Tortoise Prime Minister, walked out of the cave dwelling.
Out of politeness, Sun Wukong naturally accompanied them to see them off.
He escorted them to the edge of the formation and didn’t take a step further.
After all, who knows what dangers lay beyond.
The Sea Dragon Kings didn’t think much of it.
Seeing Sun Wukong had escorted them so far, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang swayed his head, pushed away the Tortoise Prime Minister supporting him, turned around, and said to Sun Wukong in a wobbly voice, “My dear brother, I thank you for your hospitality today.
Another day, us four dragon brothers will hold a feast beneath the Dragon Palace, and you must grace us with your presence!”
Clearly, the main purpose of his visit had now begun.
As the East Sea Dragon King uttered these words, in the void, both Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva simultaneously turned their attention towards Mount Huaguo.
This was the moment.
Whether it would be successful or not hinged on whether Sun Wukong would accept the invitation.
Sun Wukong’s face was extremely red at this time, a clear sign that he was intoxicated, and he pushed away the monkeys that were supporting him.
He swayed and wobbled as he made a bow to the East Sea Dragon King.
“Certainly, certainly, Old Sun shall definitely…”
However, before Sun Wukong could finish his sentence,
Plop!
Sun Wukong directly collapsed on the ground, his breathing lengthy and soft through his nose and mouth.
Was he completely drunk?
“This macaque actually got drunk just like that?”
Above the Nine Heavens, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva were slightly startled as they watched this unfold.
The two had waited half the day, and just as Sun Wukong seemed about to agree, unexpectedly, he got drunk?
This made them feel as though all their efforts were in vain.
“Elder brother, does this mean Sun Wukong has agreed or not?”
Moonlight Bodhisattva’s mouth twitched, his voice hesitant as he spoke.
“I don’t know!”
Sunlight Bodhisattva shot a disgruntled glance at Moonlight Bodhisattva before continuing, “Now that this macaque has shown a positive response to the kindness of the Sea Dragon Kings, let’s just patiently wait!”
“What if Sun Wukong doesn’t go?”
Moonlight Bodhisattva said with a twitch of his mouth.
