236: Chapter 180 Houtu Makes a Move_3 236: Chapter 180 Houtu Makes a Move_3 The court assembly had ended, and Great Emperor Ziwei hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to accomplish the task so quickly. While he was in his sleeping quarters, Sun Wukong burst in directly with the Dragon Girl in tow. Great Emperor Ziwei was in his sleepwear, his eyes somewhat bleary with sleepiness. As the door was opened, he looked up intending to scold the intruder. But upon seeing who it was, Great Emperor Ziwei instantly perked up. “Is it done?” His eyes sparkled, and although he had guessed the outcome, he still felt a surge of excitement. Sun Wukong smiled proudly, answering smugly, “Of course it’s done. Who do you think I am? For Old Sun, this was nothing more than taking something within my grasp.” “That’s great, Wukong. How should I repay you? You’ve done so much for me, I’m moved.” Great Emperor Ziwei stared straight at Sun Wukong, a piercing look in his eyes that made Lady Dragon of Wealth grow anxious. Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, speaking irritably, “Enough, there are no outsiders here, stop pretending. To show our good relationship, you don’t have to be so nauseating, I’m about to throw up.” Great Emperor Ziwei reined in that idiotic expression, sighed, and said with a wry smile, “It’s just that I lack confidence. You know that we haven’t been working together for long, and although I feel our relationship is already very good, I worry about how you might see me, considering you really looked down on me in the past.” That wasn’t nonsense. Sun Wukong really had looked down on Great Emperor Ziwei before. In his eyes, other than the Jade Emperor, there wasn’t much to the Four Heavenly Kings worth respecting—they were ambitious to the point of being detestable. “Then, that’s your own lack of confidence, nothing to do with Old Sun. Now let’s talk business. I have promised the Dragon Clan some benefits,” Sun Wukong said seriously. Ziwei waved his hand, speaking, “I don’t want to hear it. I trust your deliberations, just let Taibai handle it. Here in the Three Realms, your decisions are as good as mine.” He didn’t even feel the desire to listen, yawning and ready to go back to sleep. This carefree sense of trust wasn’t feigned but a real confidence in Sun Wukong. Even Sun Wukong himself was somewhat bemused. Great Emperor Ziwei was maybe trusting him a little too much. Sun Wukong didn’t leave, but instead stood there and said, “I promised the Dragon Clan to first establish a Department of Water, so that they break free from the control of the Thunder Department and take charge of all the waters under heaven. Once we control the Thunder Department, let them take charge of that too. What do you think?” Great Emperor Ziwei knew that Sun Wukong surely had a rationale he wanted to convey before leaving. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes, but still began to contemplate the suggestion seriously. After a while, Great Emperor Ziwei finally responded, “Good idea, just wondering if the Dragon Clan has any Great Heavenly Venerates? The Thunder Department is one of the most important places in the Heavenly Court. Without a Great Heavenly Venerate in charge, it would be impossible to truly control it.” “They have one.” “Sure enough, the Dragon Clan still has hidden experts. I agree to your proposal. Summon Gold Star Taibai.” Great Emperor Ziwei finally looked invigorated. This matter still required his direct command. Gold Star Taibai wouldn’t dare to negotiate with the Dragon Palace without his consent. Shortly, Gold Star Taibai arrived. Hearing of the Dragon Palace’s submission and the conditions Sun Wukong had promised regarding the control of the Thunder Department, Gold Star Taibai’s expression was visibly surprised. He gave Sun Wukong and Lady Dragon of Wealth odd looks, glancing back and forth between them. Sun Wukong immediately understood what he was getting at, thinking he had made such a decision because of the Dragon Girl. Sun Wukong glared, speaking displeasedly, “Don’t overthink it, you old man. I’m not the kind of person you’re imagining.” With a faint smile, Gold Star Taibai then turned to Great Emperor Ziwei, saying, “Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Great Saint’s idea is indeed very good. Thunder Department needs to be controlled by our own people. Given the Dragon Clan’s relationship with the Great Saint, along with their consistent conduct, they can be trusted.” “Good, then entrust this matter to you to discuss with the Dragon Clan. If there are issues that can’t be decided, consult Wukong. His decisions are the same as mine,” Great Emperor Ziwei repeated to Gold Star Taibai. Gold Star Taibai wasn’t surprised; he was well aware of the Jade Emperor’s level of trust in Sun Wukong. “Yes.” “Taibai, you may go.” Great Emperor Ziwei waved his hand and then, with his gaze falling on Sun Wukong, he patted his dragon couch and said with a smile, “Wukong, would you like to sit with me for a long talk?” “Idiot.” Sun Wukong uttered dismissively, turning to leave. The fellow hadn’t been serious for more than a few minutes before starting to act foolish again. “Haha.” Great Emperor Ziwei laughed triumphantly. Lady Dragon of Wealth held back her laughter and followed Sun Wukong out. As they walked out of Great Emperor Ziwei’s sleeping quarters, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes again. He suddenly asked, “Do you think I chose the wrong person?” Lady Dragon of Wealth, pressing her lips together to stop a chuckle, said, “The Great Saint hasn’t made a bad choice at all. With your insight like a torch, Great Emperor Ziwei is a fine person.” The corners of Sun Wukong’s mouth lifted slightly. He knew in his heart that he hadn’t chosen the wrong person. “In the Three Realms, there are few as good as the Great Saint and Ziwei Heavenly Venerate,” Lady Dragon of Wealth stated sincerely. Though she appeared young, she had lived for many years. She was quite clear about the virtue, or lack thereof, among the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms. Such purity as displayed by Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei was rare to see.
