242: Chapter 181 Arranging Red Boy_2 242: Chapter 181 Arranging Red Boy_2 Sun Wukong also very much recognized this idea, and at the same time, he was clear in his heart that for the Ox Demon King and Iron Fan Immortal to make such a decision was absolutely not easy.
To send their own son into the greatest whirlpool, with the way they doted on Red Boy, they must have made a great determination; otherwise, such a thing definitely would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong said, “I can agree, but I also dare not guarantee Red Boy’s safety.
If something happens to him, I’m afraid you will blame me.”
The Ox Demon King clenched his teeth and said, “Wukong, rest assured, your sister-in-law and I have discussed it thoroughly.
Even if something happens, we will not blame you.
We need him to be tempered.
If he can rise up amid the chaos of the Three Realms, that would be the best outcome.”
Having said this, he gave a wry smile and continued, “They say that keeping a low profile prevents troubles.
Old Six did just that, but what was the result?
I think it’s better to be like the Queen Mother of the West, who, whether advancing or retreating, can always take the initiative.
I hope my child can become such an existence in the future, where no matter if he keeps a low profile or stands in the limelight, no one can harm him in the slightest.”
Sun Wukong glanced at the Ox Demon King, noting that the death of Old Six had given him a great shock.
Otherwise, he would not have so readily sent Red Boy away.
After some thought, Sun Wukong asked, “Have you discussed this with the Bodhisattva?”
This matter had to be agreed upon by the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Since Red Boy was a disciple of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, if the Bodhisattva did not agree, Sun Wukong would not send Red Boy over.
The Ox Demon King nodded fiercely and said, “The Bodhisattva has agreed, and she also thinks my approach is good.”
Sun Wukong nodded and responded, “Since the Bodhisattva also agrees, I too consent.
Tell Red Boy to find Tianpeng and say it’s on my behalf, to arrange a position for him to be tempered.
Tianpeng is meticulous and will surely take good care of my great nephew.”
Both the Ox Demon King and Iron Fan Immortal immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Sun Wukong.
They thanked Sun Wukong profusely, their faces flushed with excitement.
This made Sun Wukong himself somewhat reflective.
Neither the Ox Demon King nor Iron Fan Immortal had ever begged anyone before, yet now, for Red Boy’s sake, they were imploring Sun Wukong.
Such is the heart of all parents under heaven.
Whether immortal or demon, it is all the same.
When Red Boy learned of his parents’ decision, he was very delighted.
Being of a lively nature, staying in the Purple Bamboo Forest, although he had grown somewhat accustomed to it, was ultimately a bit lonely.
To be able to play in the Heavenly Palace was the best thing ever.
He had the heart of a child and would not overthink.
Red Boy bade farewell to his parents and went straight into the Heavenly Palace.
Sun Wukong could see that in the eyes of the Ox Demon King and Iron Fan Immortal, there was nothing but worry.
But they also knew that if they wanted their child to rise up, it was necessary.
Flowers grown in a greenhouse can never withstand the ravages of a storm.
“Old Ox, sister-in-law, if there’s nothing else, Old Sun will return to Huaguo Mountain.”
Sun Wukong bade them farewell, ready to return to Huaguo Mountain.
The Old Ox and Iron Fan Immortal sent him off with mixed feelings in their hearts.
When Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, everyone then asked him what had happened.
“Houtu captured the Dragon Girl, luring me over with the intention of killing me there.”
At these words, everyone was in shock.
Lady Ba in particular gazed at Sun Wukong, inspecting him from head to toe, fearful that he had come to harm.
Seeing their concerned expressions, Sun Wukong said with a smile, “Don’t worry.
Old Sun is fine.
Houtu did not anticipate my strength, which is why I fought my way out.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then thinking that Sun Wukong was already standing in front of them, realized how ridiculous their worries were.
Of course, their concern had caused them to feel muddled.
A cold light flashed in Lu Dongbin’s eyes as he said coldly, “Great Sage, since Lady Houtu was so unreasonable, do you just intend to endure it?”
Sun Wukong glanced at him and said with a sneer, “Do I look like that kind of person to you?”
Everyone shook their heads.
If anyone suggested that Sun Wukong was the type to meekly submit to others, they would be a fool.
In the past, he dared to create Havoc in Heaven just because of a momentary anger.
That kind of person simply cannot be silenced.
“What does the Great Sage plan to do?” they asked.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “I can’t kill Houtu, for my strength is not yet equal to hers, but I can kill those around her.
When I get the chance, I will kill a few of her followers as a warning.”
Reaching this point in the conversation, Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, “If an opportunity arises in the future, I’ll go and kill Lady Houtu.”
Since Lady Houtu wanted to kill him, Sun Wukong naturally would not be polite.
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
The Great Saint had such formidable courage, he even wanted to slay Lady Houtu.
“Humph, I’ve long found them displeasing to the eye.
When you go to kill her, I will definitely accompany you and strike together with you,”
said Nu Ba with a cold voice.
Lady Houtu’s calculations against Sun Wukong, with the intent to have Sun Wukong killed, had already enraged Nu Ba.
This time, Lady Houtu dared to use plots and schemes through the Dragon Girl to try and kill Sun Wukong.
The next time, she might plot against Nu Ba herself to kill Sun Wukong.
Nu Ba was no fool, she easily understood this point.
Therefore, her abhorrence for Lady Houtu had reached an extreme.
If the other party had defeated Sun Wukong in a fair and square battle, she would have nothing to say.
Sun Wukong looked at Nu Ba and nodded slightly.
“Is Dragon Girl all right?” asked He Xiangu.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “She’s fine, I escaped with Dragon Girl.”
At once, everyone felt relieved.
After all, they had spent so much time together with Dragon Girl.
If anything happened to Lady Dragon of Wealth, they would not be able to accept it.
“Birds of a feather flock together, the Jade Emperor is an old coin, and his followers are no good either.
To think that one of the Four Heavenly Kings would resort to such despicable methods, it’s contemptible,”
said Fan Yao disdainfully.
“Such Immortal Gods, what difference do they have from Demon Fiends?
They should be killed,”
Fahai declared with his hands pressed together, his murderous intent resounding to the heavens.
In the conflict with the Spiritual Sect, he was always at the forefront.
Fahai’s murderous aura had become even more intense.
Even Sun Wukong and the others were a bit worried that Fahai was falling into the Demon Dao.
But aside from his fierce and heavy killing intent towards evil Demons and Deities, he was compassionate to innocent living beings, willing to sacrifice everything to help them.
In such cases, people referred to him as one with a Buddha’s Mind and a Demon’s Hand.
He had a Buddha’s Mind, offering universal salvation.
He also had a Demon’s Hand, cutting down demons and dispelling evil.
Such a person was indeed an anomaly in the Buddhist Sect.
Of course, if this were not the case, he would not have been valued by Sun Wukong, who wished to keep him around.
“If one day I ascend to the Great Heavenly Venerate and that Demon Fiend Houtu is still alive, I will personally slay her,”
Fahai said in a grave voice.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Bai Yu even sarcastically said, “You monk, you’re becoming crazier by the day.
Great Heavenly Venerate?
You should try becoming a Heavenly Venerate first.”
Fahai glared at Bai Yu, causing Bai Yu’s neck to shrink as he dared not to speak any further.
He pursed his lips, and swallowed his words.
In his heart, Bai Yu murmured that the monk was becoming increasingly intimidating.
Had he been so terrifying before?
“Alright, let’s put this matter to rest for now.
You all don’t need to concern yourselves with it, I don’t want Houtu’s gaze to fall upon you.
With your strength, you cannot withstand her schemes.
The people around the Jade Emperor are utterly unscrupulous,”
Sun Wukong advised them, not wanting them to get involved.
Everyone understood Sun Wukong’s intention, although they felt some indignation, mainly towards Lady Houtu, they were also grateful to Sun Wukong.
It seemed as if they were working for Sun Wukong, but it was more accurate to say that Sun Wukong was protecting them.
He had never allowed them to do the real dangerous tasks; he took them all on himself.
Only by staying by Sun Wukong’s side could one realize how loyal the Great Sage equalling Heaven was.
There’s been a delay with something.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll be releasing 30,000 words a day.
