"Do not be careless."

Upon hearing this, the fourth sister frowned and said seriously:

“I know you are highly skilled, perhaps even comparable to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven back then. But even he perished five hundred years ago under the siege of the Heavenly Court and several demon kings. It is because of this that you have this journey.”

The implication is clear: the Heavenly Court is powerful, so there's no need to confront them head-on. It would be better to revive Sun Wukong while no one has had a chance to react, and complete the mission of the chosen one. Why bother fighting against all those celestial beings and Buddhas?
"I see."

Wu Xian nodded, then looked at his fourth sister with gentle eyes and said softly, "So for this trip to Flower Fruit Mountain, I plan to only take Uncle-Master Pigsy with me."

"What do you mean!"

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister's expression changed, and her eyes gradually became somewhat dangerous.

"Fourth Sister, I have a question for you."

Wu Xian looked into Fourth Sister's eyes and said in a rare serious tone, "Do you think if I bring the Root of Talent back to Flower Fruit Mountain and revive the Great Sage, will those immortals and gods treat me like I'm nothing and let me go like a fart?"

"It's probably...unlikely."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister couldn't help but recall the Heavenly General named "Wang Lingguan" whom Wu Xian had killed with his staff in the Spider Cave.

According to what Zhu Bajie said later, the other party must have been of high status, supposedly a favorite of the Jade Emperor. Wu Xian killing him was undoubtedly a provocation against the Heavenly Court, and it seemed like a situation that would be difficult to resolve peacefully.

In fact, on the way to the Flaming Mountain, Fourth Sister had been expecting a heavenly army to descend and attack them, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, she gradually relaxed about the matter.

Looking back now, this seems illogical. Perhaps they knew that Wu Xian would return to Flower Fruit Mountain sooner or later and revive Sun Wukong, so they simply waited for him to come to them.

Moreover, because they were prepared in advance, Wu Xian was sure to be besieged by the Heavenly Court's heavy forces. No one knew how many powerful immortals and gods would appear, all for the sake of winning this battle and taking down this chosen one.

"Judging from your expression, you must have figured it out."

Wu Xian sighed, his voice tinged with melancholy.

"Regardless of the final outcome, whether the Great Sage can be resurrected or not, I and the Heavenly Court are destined to be enemies. Unless I am willing to kneel down and beg for mercy like the Bull Demon King, this matter will never end..."

At this point, Wu Xian shook his head: "It's a pity. I've been a monkey for over twenty years and have no intention of changing my race. So I can only go down the dark path and be irreconcilably opposed to the Heavenly Court."

"That's why this trip to Flower Fruit Mountain will be fraught with danger. I'm confident I can handle the powerful figures in Heaven, but if I bring you along, they might use you as a weak point, as leverage to force me to give up my resistance."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister immediately pictured herself being captured by heavenly soldiers, with a knife held to her neck, threatening Wu Xian. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice.

"Am I just a burden in your heart?"

"of course not."

As Wu Xian said this, he reached out and grabbed his fourth sister's hand, placed it on his chest, and said earnestly, "To me, you have never been a burden, but rather my weakness and an important person that I must protect."

Just like Princess Iron Fan was to the Bull Demon King, I don't want to see you suffer any harm, not even the slightest possibility.

Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister felt as if she had been struck by a critical blow, her whole body felt numb, and her gaze towards Wu Xian even showed signs of being drawn out.

If this world were a pornographic game, a percentage progress bar would definitely appear above Fourth Sister's head right now, and she would frantically add 1.

After a long while, Fourth Sister finally came to her senses. Seeing that the expressionless monkey face was about to lean closer, she immediately turned her head away arrogantly and snorted coldly: "Who is important to you? Stop talking nonsense here."

Why don't you take your hand back?

Wu Xian smiled, not caring about the arrogant man's hypocrisy, and pulled him into his arms with a forceful movement, then whispered in his ear:
"Don't worry, since I dared to return to Flower Fruit Mountain, I am confident that I can get out unscathed. Moreover, I always carry the Ruyi Scroll with me, so in a way, we are fighting side by side."

Fourth Sister was silent for a moment, then finally said, "This is the first and the last time." Wu Xian smiled and agreed, "After this matter is over, I will take you to travel through the Three Realms and Four Continents, and make up for all the scenery you missed in the past."

Raise a flag?

nonexistent.

For those without power, this is called raising a flag, similar to "I'll go back to my hometown and get married after this battle." But for those with power, this is romance, you know?
"Hmph! I don't need you to keep me company. I can watch it all by myself."

With her face pressed against the breastplate of the Traveler's Suit, Fourth Sister's lips curled slightly, but she quickly regained her aloof demeanor. She forcefully pushed Wu Xian away and turned to return to the courtyard where the Zhu family lived.

However, she stopped after taking only two steps, as if she had made up her mind. Turning around, she grabbed the prayer beads around Wu Xian's neck in surprise and said coldly, "Come on! Go to your room. I have something to say to you!"

"Oh... this isn't a good idea, it's not even dark yet."

Wu Xian blinked and pretended to be reserved.

"To go, or not to go?"

The fourth sister sneered, her eyes filled with disdain, as if to say, "Little Dog, are you no good?"

This is outrageous! Who do they think they are?!

Wu Xian was furious. He hoisted his fourth sister onto his shoulder and stormed towards the room Chen Long had prepared for him in Liu Liu Village...

Spiderwebs on the eaves reflect the moonlight, weaving a dream of longing for my beloved's return.

My heart's threads are secretly intertwined with yours; if I were to transform into you, to whom would you become?
When moving forward, the belly is 100%
……

Two months later, in Dongsheng Shenzhou, at Huaguo Mountain.

As the hometown of Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Huaguo Mountain is still beautiful and full of birdsong and fragrant flowers. However, monkeys, which used to be the most common creatures here, are now extremely rare.

In order to force Sun Wukong to submit and return to the position of Buddha, Erlang Shen led heavenly soldiers and generals to carry out a large-scale massacre of the living beings in Huaguo Mountain.

As a result, the number of monkeys and their offspring has dwindled to less than one-tenth, and even after years of recuperation, it is difficult for them to return to their former glory.

Besides, a considerable number of monkeys fled the Flower Fruit Mountain in panic. To avoid being hunted down by the heavenly soldiers, they had no choice but to seek a way to survive in other places in the Three Realms and Four Continents, such as Little Western Heaven and Flaming Mountain.

However, information from the Shadow God Map reveals that these monkeys who left their homes were either forcibly converted by Huang Mei or became experimental subjects of the Flaming Mountain Land God, and their fates were all extremely tragic.

Incidentally, before leaving Flaming Mountain, Wu Xian thoroughly tormented the land, having the Yin soldiers summoned to the mortal realm inflict hellish punishments upon him.

Every day was the same, never repeating, until he had experienced all the wonders of the eighteen levels of hell, before finally smashing his physical body and primordial spirit with a single blow, truly annihilating him and scattering his soul.

"Boom————!!!"

On the outskirts of Huaguo Mountain, a golden figure fell from the sky like a meteorite.

The moment it landed, a powerful force rippled out, sending the rubble on the ground flying ten meters high, and even causing the nearby waterfall to flow backward and surge into the air.

Without a doubt, who else could it be but Wu Xian?
