233: Chapter 179: Emperor Jun’s Backup Plan_9 233: Chapter 179: Emperor Jun’s Backup Plan_9 Sun Wukong naturally didn’t really want to kill Master Ge. Since he was able to walk out of the Dragon Palace, it suggests that he didn’t offend Ao Guang to death. Otherwise, Ao Guang would absolutely dare to kill him. Even Great Emperor Ziwei, when confronting the other three among the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as adding Mount Ling to the equation, wouldn’t wish to make another enemy of the Dragon Clan. The matter would likely be dropped without further consequence. Ao Guang not killing Master Ge indicates that the situation isn’t too serious. Great Emperor Ziwei, with a severe expression, said to the Lady Dragon of Wealth, “Please convey to your esteemed father that I am at fault for this incident. Relay my apologies to the Dragon King, and I am willing to host a banquet to make amends. As soon as these words were spoken, the Lady Dragon of Wealth was taken aback. She hurriedly responded, “How could this be possible? You are the sovereign, and we are the subjects. How could subjects demand an apology from their king? Don’t worry. My father doesn’t blame you. He was just a bit annoyed with Master Ge. After giving him a beating, he felt better.” “If that’s the case, I also feel relieved. In truth, the ideas of sovereign and subject are nothing more than roles to protect this piece of heaven and earth and to safeguard the common people. I’ve never considered myself as a sovereign. The reason I sought the position of Great Heavenly Venerate is that I believed I had the capacity to bring greater happiness to the common people,” Great Emperor Ziwei sighed. This was indeed his heartfelt truth, without a hint of pretense or affectation. He believed that this piece of heaven and earth could be better, at least better than it is now. And only by becoming the Great Heavenly Venerate could Great Emperor Ziwei make the various decisions needed to realize some of his ideas. However, the others did not believe him, thinking that Great Emperor Ziwei was just making empty promises. Only Sun Wukong looked at Great Emperor Ziwei with admiration in his eyes. He alone believed Great Emperor Ziwei’s words. Great Emperor Ziwei noticed this and felt even more strongly that Sun Wukong was a kindred spirit. He looked at Sun Wukong with an increasingly soft expression in his eyes. Sun Wukong rolled his eyes; this fellow was getting sappy again. He didn’t bother to pay too much attention and instead said, “Alright, leave this matter to me. I need to tidy myself up first. It would be rather disrespectful to meet the Dragon King in my current state.” “That would be for the best. I will await your news in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure,” said Great Emperor Ziwei with a smile. Having achieved his purpose, he left. It was only then that the Lion Camel King and Ox Demon King managed to squeeze through the crowd. The Lion Camel King said with a look of envy, “Seventh brother, you’re incredibly powerful now, to be able to talk like this with the Ziwei Heavenly Venerate. The affairs of the Three Realms change with your coming and going. You are now far more formidable than your brother.” Sun Wukong laughed, “I’ve always been better than you; it’s not like this is something new.” Lion Camel King: “...” Seeing his chagrined expression, Sun Wukong patted the Lion Camel King on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Now that I’ve subdued the Primordial Demonic Qi, if you want to return to the Great Thousand Worlds, brother won’t stop you. But I must remind you, my enemies can’t contend with me and might come looking for you, so be extra careful.” The Lion Camel King shook his head, his frustration apparent as he said, “You don’t need to remind me. I’m aware of that. I don’t want to go back. From now on, I will stay in Huaguo Mountain. With seventh brother’s protection, life is truly peaceful.” “That is also an option.” Sun Wukong nodded. Ox Demon King became a bit anxious, grabbing the Lion Camel King and asking, “Fourth brother, that’s not honorable of you. Didn’t you agree to stick with your elder brother?” “The Purple Bamboo Forest is too boring. With the Bodhisattva Guanyin around, not even a loud fart dares to escape. It’s way too restrictive. Brother, I’m sorry, but I just can’t adapt. Being with seventh brother is much more comfortable,” replied the Lion Camel King. The Lion Camel King shook his head frantically, his face showing lingering fear. During his days in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he had truly understood the meaning of restraint. Actually, The Bodhisattva Guanyin hadn’t restricted them in any way, even allowing them to eat meat, drink wine, and make loud noises without issue. But under Guanyin’s powerful aura, they simply didn’t dare to do such things. In just a few days, it had nearly suffocated the Lion Camel King. He absolutely refused to even consider going back. Seeing his resolute attitude, the Ox Demon King felt quite gloomy. He unsatisfactorily said, “Such an ungrateful guy, you’re ruthless.” Thinking about the tedious life he would have to continue, he couldn’t help but shiver. If it wasn’t for his wife and children in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he would not want to go back at all. Life in Huaguo Mountain was so much more carefree. Sun Wukong tidied himself up again and after freshening up, he set out with Lady Dragon of Wealth. They entered the endless turquoise waters of the East Sea, plunging straight towards the sea floor. The Dragon Palace of the East Sea was not far from Huaguo Mountain, with rivers flowing directly from the mountain into the East Sea. With their divine skills, they quickly arrived inside the Dragon Palace. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals did not stop them, recognizing both Sun Wukong and Lady Dragon of Wealth. The Dragon King and Dragon Mother were playing chess, and maids were serving all kinds of rare and exotic fruits by their side—some so coveted that even Celestial Immortals would fight over them, yet here they were merely snacks for the Dragon King and Dragon Mother. The extravagance of the Dragon Clan was evident. Of course, to them, this was just the norm. The foundations of the Dragon Clan were indeed profound. Seeing Sun Wukong and Lady Dragon of Wealth approach, Ao Guang said with a smile, “Son-in-law, daughter, you’ve left.” Lady Dragon of Wealth’s face immediately flushed crimson. Sun Wukong stepped forward, grabbed Ao Guang’s beard, and said coldly, “Look at you, old mudfish, not seeing you for a while and you dare to take advantage of Old Sun, are you asking for a beating?” Ao Guang hurriedly apologized, saying, “Great Saint, don’t hit me, it was just a joke, Great Saint, please don’t hit.” Seeing him beg for mercy, Sun Wukong then let go of the old Dragon King’s beard. The old Dragon King wasn’t angry, knowing that Sun Wukong was just playing around. He had his servants bring over a chair and invited Sun Wukong to sit, saying with a smile, “Great Saint, it’s been almost a month since your last message. Those three were almost restless; now that the Great Saint has returned, surely Great Emperor Ziwei’s heart has also settled down.” “Haha, those three are just useless, mere chess pieces of the Jade Emperor; they surely can’t overturn the heavens.” Sun Wukong sneered. He then directly addressed the matter at hand, and said bluntly, “I’ve come to see you, Old Dragon King, because you’re wanted by Great Emperor Ziwei.” Ao Guang’s eyes immediately narrowed.
