29: Chapter 29 Bluebird Is About to Cry 29: Chapter 29 Bluebird Is About to Cry Thinking of the phrase “smarter than a monkey,” Sun Wukong quickly shelved the thought. He himself was a monkey, and Lu Dongbin didn’t seem any smarter than he was. To say that he was “smarter than a monkey” wouldn’t that be insulting to himself? Lu Dongbin gave an awkward smile, knowing he couldn’t fool the eyes of this monkey. With a sigh, Lu Dongbin began to pour out his woes. “Great Saint, you don’t know how tough it is for us immortals now. Powers from all sides are trying to win us over, and it’s impossible to live a carefree life. Some big shots even resort to threats and violence. I really had no choice. I heard that the Great Saint had returned, and I wanted to come here and spend some days under your protection. You won’t drive me away, will you?” Lu Dongbin asked pitifully. Then his face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly because of an injury that had flared up. Sun Wukong watched him, unmoved. “Great Saint, since Immortal Master Lu is in such a pitiful state, please help him out and let him stay.” The White Crane pleaded on his behalf. Sun Wukong glanced at the White Crane, and with a cold laugh, said, “Is he too clever, or are you too dumb? This fellow is one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Grotto, the famous Ancestral Master of Pure Yang, Lu Dongbin. Even if he’s no match for Old Sun, if he truly wanted to live a hidden life, he wouldn’t be in such a pathetic state. He must have done something bad and come to Old Sun to use me as a shield.” Bai Yu was left with his mouth agape. Are all immortals this cunning? Lu Dongbin looked on with admiration. “Great Saint, you are supremely intelligent; I knew I couldn’t deceive you. The thing is, I went to Kunlun.” Sun Wukong’s heart skipped a beat, and with an expressionless face, he asked, “And then?” “I accidentally stumbled upon a female immortal from Kunlun bathing, and then accidentally got discovered, so...” The corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth twitched slightly. Just as he had thought. This lsp. “Will you leave on your own, or shall I see you off?” He took the Jingu Bang from his ear, eager to use it. But Lu Dongbin appeared unshakably confident. “Great Saint, there’s no use.” Sun Wukong suddenly had a bad feeling. “The female demon you just blew away was that immortal from Kunlun.” It was as expected. Sun Wukong looked at Lu Dongbin with an uncertain expression. Lu Dongbin, with a weary appearance, sat down on a rock beside him. He was now depending on Sun Wukong. “Fine, you can stay. But I hope you won’t regret it.” Sun Wukong suddenly put away the Jingu Bang. Now it was Lu Dongbin who felt uneasy. The Great Saint’s words sounded somewhat foreboding. Sun Wukong also found a sizeable rock to sit on and instructed the White Crane to pick some fruit. He chuckled and said, “I’m not afraid to tell you that I’m in the eye of the storm now. You know Kunpeng? I just clashed with him not long ago and ruined his plans. Sooner or later, we’re fated to collide.” “Gulp.” Lu Dongbin swallowed hard. Of course, he was aware of Kunpeng. Zhuangzi’s “Carefree Travel” has records of it. There is a fish in the Northern Darkness, its name is Kun. The Kun is so huge, I don’t know how many thousand li it measures. It gets angry and flies, transforming into a bird called Peng. Peng is so big, it needs two grill racks—one with cumin and one with spicy seasoning—and a bottle of Snow beer to take you bravely through the ends of the earth... Cough cough. Lu Dongbin cleared his throat, feeling like he had gone off track. As a symbolic figure of the Daoist Sect, he was even keener on how extraordinary Kunpeng was. From a time immeasurably long ago, it had a vast reputation, ranking among the most supreme entities between heaven and earth. “Great Saint, is it too late for me to leave now?” Oh, Daoist Ancestor above, he suddenly regretted his decision. “You can go. I won’t keep you.” Sun Wukong yawned, indicating Lu Dongbin was free to leave. Just as Lu Dongbin was about to make a move, he looked up and immediately turned pale as a ghost. Several female immortals stood outside Huaguo Mountain, all brimming with a murderous aura. The leader, dressed in blue feather garments, had piercing cold eyes staring at Huaguo Mountain with a lethal air. She held back the other immortals from attacking Huaguo Mountain, as if she knew the ferocity of Sun Wukong. And Sun Wukong had also recognized the identity of this blue-clothed fairy. Bluebird, the messenger under Queen Mother’s command. She absolutely was a Great Luo Celestial Immortal; her strength would not be inferior to Lu Dongbin’s. Moreover, she had helpers, and with several female immortals by her side, the injured Lu Dongbin was completely no match for them. The moment he went out, he would certainly be captured. “Great Saint, I was wrong, please cover me.” “I don’t have any, go ask them for it.” Sun Wukong pointed at the female immortals in the sky. Lu Dongbin’s face turned somewhat bitter, at this time, was Great Saint still in the mood for jokes? “Bluebird requests an audience with Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong.” Just at this moment, Bluebird’s voice came from outside Huaguo Mountain. Sun Wukong prepared to open the restrictions. Lu Dongbin immediately rushed over, grabbing Sun Wukong’s hand and pleading with hopeful eyes, “Great Saint, please pretend you didn’t hear.” “Bai Yu, go tell them I’m not here.” Sun Wukong gave Bai Yu a meaningful glance. Bai Yu got the signal; he left Huaguo Mountain and appeared in the outside world. Upon seeing a Demon King of the avian kind show up, Bluebird and her companions were slightly taken aback, but they did not make a move. Bai Yu was very polite; he bowed and said, “I am Bai Yu, a Demon King under the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s command, greeting the fairies.” “Where is Great Saint?” Bluebird asked. Bai Yu pondered for a moment before saying, “The Great Saint said he’s not here.” Damn it. Lu Dongbin felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out. Could he... really... play? After saying that, Bai Yu suddenly slapped his forehead, exclaiming, “Ah, look at my forgetfulness. I misspoke. You wouldn’t tell the Great Saint, would you, Immortal Bluebird?” “Hehe.” Bluebird sneered coldly, finding nothing amusing about the situation. At that moment, the restrictions around Huaguo Mountain were lifted. Sun Wukong staggered out from within. Bluebird had been quite arrogant at first, but upon seeing Sun Wukong, she instantly became somewhat nervous. She bowed slightly, saying, “Greeting the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.” “Let’s not beat around the bush; I’ve protected Lu Dongbin, you all can go back now,” Sun Wukong said nonchalantly. Bluebird’s expression stiffened, and facing such an overbearing Sun Wukong, the usually hot-tempered her did not dare to say a word. After a moment of hesitation, Bluebird finally said, “Since that’s the case, this little immortal shall take her leave.” She really prepared to go back. This left Bai Yu astonished. This was the prestige of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. Even Queen Mother’s messenger was so courteous to him. “Wait a moment,” Sun Wukong suddenly called out. Bluebird stopped, growing anxious. She suddenly regretted coming to Huaguo Mountain to capture someone for no reason. Just having this monkey not causing trouble elsewhere was reason enough to be thankful; why seek out abuse at his hands? “Old Sun has a craving for peaches of immortality, leave a few nine-thousand-year ones for me. Don’t tell me you don’t have any; I know you are the most favored by Queen Mother of the West.” Bluebird felt like crying. “At most one,” she offered after a thought. “Three, or I’ll keep one of your sisters here to accompany Lu Dongbin,” Sun Wukong threatened them. Bluebird decisively handed over the carefully preserved peaches of immortality, then, along with the group of female immortals, she quickly fled the scene. Lu Dongbin watched from below, stunned. There was such a tactic?
