Journey to the West: The gods and Buddhas panicked when the monkey was trapped inside him.

When Ao Guang heard the names Sun Wukong mentioned, his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

This guy really dares to speak up!

He immediately put on a miserable expression and began to complain to Sun Wukong.

"My lord, you are wise! Although the East Sea may seem magnificent to me, it is nothing but an empty shell!"

"The Heavenly Court collects a huge amount of tribute every year, and those who fall short even slightly will be punished. Little Dragon's life is truly miserable!"

"Those divine objects you just mentioned, I, Xiaolong, have never even seen them in my entire life, let alone hidden them!"

Ao Guang kept complaining about being poor, looking as pitiful as could be.

Sun Wukong picked at his ear, completely ignoring the old Dragon King's pleas.

"Old neighbor, it's pointless for you to pretend to be poor in front of me."

"Your dragon race rules the four seas, your foundation is profound, even a single hair of yours is thicker than my thigh!"

Sun Wukong sneered twice, showing absolutely no mercy.

"Really? You should think carefully before you speak!"

"Absolutely true! How could I, Xiaolong, possibly expect anything from the Immortal? Every word I've said is true!"

"Alright, since you're so poor in the East China Sea that you can't even afford a small gift, then I, Old Sun, won't leave."

"I'm tired of living in the Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain. Your Crystal Palace is spacious and bright."

"From now on, this will be my villa. You all hurry up and prepare meals for me, serve me the best food and drink, I'll stay here for a thousand or eight hundred years."

Sun Wukong's shameless behavior made Ao Guang's eyelids twitch.

Ao Guang's eyelids twitched as he listened.

If this monkey keeps lingering and won't leave, he won't be able to complete the task assigned by the Buddhist sect, and he might as well lose his position as the dragon's head.

The most urgent task right now is to quickly put that stabilizing force out!

He quickly stepped forward and said, "If the immortal really wants a treasure, I think the Sea-Stabilizing Needle is actually very suitable for the immortal!"

Xiaolong's words just now were merely a test of the immortal's character! This divine object is an artifact of merit left behind from ancient times, and naturally it belongs to the virtuous.

"This celestial being is so sensible and knows the rules; he is absolutely its perfect master!"

Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly.

This old mudfish is really going all out to give away equipment; he even made up nonsense like testing someone's character.

"Don't do that, that's the lifeline of your East Sea, I'd be too embarrassed to take it." Sun Wukong waved his hand and declined directly.

"I, Old Sun, am a reasonable person; I won't take away your Dragon Palace's lifeline!"

"Immortal, you jest! What lifeline? Nothing is more important than your weapon!" Ao Guang slapped his thigh in frustration.

"This magic needle that stabilizes the sea is only fit to rust in our Dragon Palace; only in the hands of a celestial being can it truly shine!"

"Little Dragon humbly begs the Immortal to accept this Sea-Stabilizing Needle, as a token of goodwill!"

Sun Wukong stared intently at Ao Guang.

"Old Dragon King, you begged me to accept this, I didn't force you!"

"It was definitely a gift from Xiaolong to the immortal!" Ao Guang nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, you gave it to me voluntarily, so don't go to the Heavenly Court and accuse me of robbing your Dragon Palace!" Sun Wukong made it clear from the start.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured! Little Dragon will absolutely not tell on you!"

Sun Wukong then grinned, walked up to the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), and waved his hand.

The magic needle flew directly back into his hand.

He quickly stuffed it into his ear, hiding it completely.

Ao Guang breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this hot potato.

Before he could even say goodbye, a hairy hand reached out in front of him again.

"Alright, we're even now about the staff. You begged me to give it to you." Sun Wukong said with a mischievous smile.

"Now let's continue with what we just discussed."

"If your Dragon Palace doesn't produce a few decent rare and precious treasures today, I, Old Sun, am really not leaving."

Ao Guang was dumbfounded. How come this monkey, who had obtained the magic weapon, was still arguing with the bamboo pole?

"Immortal, aren't you asking the impossible? I've already given you the most precious treasure!" Ao Guang was on the verge of tears.

"Bullshit! Do you think I don't know what's good for me? You think you can just send me away with some useless piece of scrap metal?" Sun Wukong deliberately put on a stern face.

"Don't even think about letting me leave today unless you show me something real!"

Seeing that things were spiraling out of control, Ao Guang quickly came up with a plan and spoke up to calm Sun Wukong down.

"Immortal, please calm your anger! Since you possess a divine weapon, how can you not wear a magnificent and imposing cloak to match?"

"Little Dragon will go find you the most top-of-the-line outfit right away, guaranteed to make you a force to be reckoned with throughout the Three Realms!"

Sun Wukong stroked his chin, pretending to ponder for a moment.

"Wearing armor? Okay, take a look first."

"If you dare try to fool me with rags and scrap metal, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Ao Guang quickly ordered the sea patrol yaksha to strike the iron drum and golden bell, and the sound instantly spread throughout the four seas along the water veins.

Before long, three streams of water came rolling in.

The Dragon Kings of the South Sea, North Sea, and West Sea appeared in the main hall.

As soon as the three Dragon Kings appeared, Ao Guang pulled them aside and whispered among themselves. After hearing the whole story, the three Dragon Kings were dumbfounded.

The instructions from above didn't mention that this monkey would also demand rare and precious materials!

"Brother, what should we do? This monkey is too difficult to deal with," Ao Qin complained in a low voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get him a set of top-quality armor, and send this plague away as soon as possible!" Ao Guang urged.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the dragon kings had no choice but to spend a fortune, each pulling out their most treasured possessions.

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, took out a pair of lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Run, took out a golden chainmail.

The Dragon King of the South Sea, Ao Qin, presented a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown.

The three treasures, gleaming with precious stones, shone brightly in the main hall, clearly not ordinary items.

Sun Wukong didn't stand on ceremony and simply put the outfit on.

Amidst the flashing golden light, a majestic and arrogant Monkey King suddenly appeared before everyone.

It must be said, this outfit is indeed quite impressive. Sun Wukong looked at himself in the water mirror and was quite satisfied with his appearance.

But just when Ao Guang thought he had finally succeeded and was about to bid farewell,

Sun Wukong suddenly turned around, and his expression changed instantly.

He ripped off the phoenix-winged purple-gold crown from his head, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then slammed it onto the table.

"Old Dragon King, do you think I, Old Sun, am a beggar? You think you can just fob me off with a set of clothes and shoes?"

Ao Guang's smile froze on his face, and the other three Dragon Kings were also stunned.

"Immortal, this is a top-grade magic weapon put together by the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas! It is impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears!" Ao Guang hurriedly defended himself.

"This is considered top-quality? Do you think I, Old Sun, need these few scraps of iron and some tattered cloth?" Sun Wukong shouted.

Just as the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were at a loss, Sun Wukong suddenly slapped a jade pillar next to him.

With a loud crack, the jade pillar, as thick as a water bucket, shattered, scattering shards of stone all over the ground.

"You old Dragon King, you're not honest at all! Your mouth is full of lies!"

Sun Wukong pointed at Ao Guang's nose and began to curse, word by word.

"Just now I didn't want that stick, but you cried and shouted that it was the lifeline of the East China Sea, and that it was related to the life and death of the East China Sea."

"But what was the result? The moment I, Old Sun, asked you for a few rare and precious treasures, you, the old Dragon King, gave me your family's lifeline without a word!"

Sun Wukong sneered repeatedly.

"What does this mean? It means that what you're hiding in your Dragon Palace is countless times more precious than the very lifeblood of your Dragon Palace!"

Ao Guang was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

The other three Dragon Kings were also dumbfounded. How could this monkey be so cunning! They couldn't refute him at all; the flaw was simply too great!

Just now, in order to give away the magic needle, Ao Guang put on such a good show that he ended up getting himself into trouble!

"You're using a worthless stick as a shield, do you really think I, Old Sun, can't see through it?" Sun Wukong pressed closer.

When Sun Wukong saw that all the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were mute, he knew that he had completely controlled the situation.

He sat down directly on a long white jade table next to him.

"If you don't give me, Old Sun, an explanation today, and don't produce a treasure that satisfies me, I'm not leaving!"

"At worst, we'll just wait it out. I, Old Sun, have plenty of time!"

The four Dragon Kings of the Seas stood in the center of the hall, each inwardly groaning in despair.

This is like bringing back a living father! If they had known this monkey was this outrageously difficult, they would never have dared to take on this job.
