Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 785 - 784: Tricking Kuimu Wolf to Go Back

Kuimu Wolf hastily explained, "No, no, my lady, I didn’t mean that. Look at you, how could you think so poorly of me? I am wholeheartedly devoted to you and would definitely not fall for anyone else. What I said was just a joke, just a joke, not to be taken seriously, so you must not believe it, my lady."

Baihua Xiu naturally did not believe him either. Just now, she was merely moved by Kuimu Wolf’s words that if he did not act like a monster, but it was just a momentary thing. Being mortal, if she were to choose a husband, she would certainly pick a mortal. How could she possibly choose this monster?

After transforming into a mortal, Kuimu Wolf did not linger for long. He put away his weapon and then stood up and headed in the direction of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom.

Once Kuimu Wolf had left, Baihua Xiu quickly untied Six-Eared Macaque and then apologized to him, "I’m so sorry, elder monk, I really didn’t anticipate he would kick you. How are you, does it hurt? Do you want me to apply some medicine?"

Six-Eared Macaque rubbed the spots where the ropes had been and then waved his hand, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I’m a rough man by nature. Now, since your husband is on his way to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, I cannot let you return there directly. But, don’t worry, a safe place has already been prepared for you outside. Come with me first, and then I’ll transform into your appearance. That should resolve everything."

Baihua Xiu hesitated. This person’s words seemed somewhat different from what that young master had said earlier. One asked her to do something, while the other, to help him. She didn’t know whom to believe at the moment.

"You just stay here. Once Kuimu Wolf returns, you’ll still be of use," Chen Nuo said as he walked in from outside, addressing Six-Eared Macaque.

"It’s not that, Mr. Chen. Although your plan is very considerate, I think we should not trouble the princess with this. I believe I can handle it," said Six-Eared Macaque.

"Really? But what if you don’t understand, then would there be a chance for you to have second thoughts?" Chen Nuo spoke, "Didn’t we already agree on this matter before? What are you doing now? Could it be that you have your own opinions and want to do things by yourself?"

"I didn’t mean that," Six-Eared Macaque quickly explained, "I’m just thinking that if that monster gets angry and starts hitting people, a mortal princess couldn’t defend herself. It might be better to go in place of the princess."

Six-Eared Macaque spoke well, and even Baihua Xiu felt moved after hearing it, although she still refused.

Lin Xi sneered coldly. He would have believed it too if he couldn’t hear their true thoughts, but unfortunately, he could.

The monkey must have heard from somewhere that the monster was formidable because of its Exquisite Inner Gallbladder, not because it was inherently powerful. To defeat it, one needed to make the monster remove its Exquisite Inner Gallbladder first. However, the Exquisite Inner Alchemy was an extremely powerful Magic Artifact. If one could obtain it, they would surely gain a lot more mana.

That must have been what those above had told him. If he could secure the Exquisite Inner Alchemy for himself, he would certainly gain much more mana.

Regrettably, just as they had thought before, the Exquisite Inner Alchemy was indeed a great object. Six-Eared Macaque wanted it, and he wanted it too.

"No need. If I have asked the Third Princess of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom to do this, naturally I have my reasons. Besides, can you guarantee not making a single mistake while transforming? Otherwise, let the Third Princess handle it. She and that monster have years of friendship. If something happens, there’s no need to worry," Chen Nuo said, believing it would be better to let them resolve the issue themselves.

The Six-Eared Macaque was still somewhat reluctant and spoke again, "Then, as you said, they have years of affection. What if the princess regrets at the last moment? What should we do then? We can’t have come all this way for nothing, right?"

"Firstly," Chen Nuo said, "she won’t do something like regretting at the last moment. Secondly, our purpose in exterminating demons is to rescue the princess. If she doesn’t want to follow us, then there’s nothing we can do about it. After all, it’s her own conscience. Even if she really decides not to leave, then we’ll just have to consider ourselves unlucky and hurry back. That also saves us from the princess and the demon joining forces to capture us, don’t you think?"

Despite the words, the Six-Eared Macaque had no other choice but to accept, even if he was still unwilling.

"Fine," the Six-Eared Macaque said, "since you’ve put it this way, what can I do?" Though still reluctant, he could not win the argument with Mr. Chen and could only give in. In any case, when the time comes, he would just ask the Third Princess for the Exquisite Inner Alchemy. They would have saved her life, so even if she was reluctant, it would only be reasonable for her to reward them both ethically and emotionally.

Mr. Chen was a mortal and didn’t need the Exquisite Inner Alchemy, and neither did his master. The only one present who could make use of it was himself. After all, if he consumed the Exquisite Inner Alchemy, he’d be better able to protect them. What a good turn of events this would be.

The Six-Eared Macaque had his plans well thought out, already convinced that the Exquisite Inner Alchemy would eventually end up in his hands. So, there was no rush at the moment. After all, he was normally evenly matched with demons; without their inner core, the demon could not possibly be their opponent, so he was sure to defeat it.

With this in mind, the Six-Eared Macaque said to Chen Nuo with a smile, "You’re right, Mr. Chen. I’ll listen to you."

Chen Nuo smiled without a word, only arranging the ropes in such a way that they were easily escapable, then waited for the demon to return.

Outside, he disguised himself as the little demon and went to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, saying to the Kwimu Wolf, who was still drunk, "Your Majesty, terrible news! The lady, she, the lady she..."

At the mention of his lady, the Kuimu Wolf jumped up from his seat and grabbed him, urgently asking, "You speak clearly, make it quick! What’s wrong with the lady, speak up!"

"The lady, for some reason, has an unbearable headache. I don’t know why. Your Majesty, you must go and have a look. She’s in so much pain she can hardly bear it!" Chen Nuo said.

The Kuimu Wolf, looking at the little demon’s appearance, knew there was no lie. But his heart was in turmoil, unsure why things had turned out this way. Hadn’t his wife been fine when he left? How come she had developed such a painful headache now?

However, his wife had often suffered from headaches before, so even with his anxiety, the Kuimu Wolf didn’t doubt the truth of the matter one bit.

Just hearing that his wife had a headache, he didn’t dare to delay and immediately returned home.

Back in his cave abode, on seeing the Six-Eared Macaque tied up, Kuimu Wolf breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that this Monk was causing trouble. Since he was still firmly tied up, there probably wasn’t any issue.

With that, he strode into the house and indeed saw Baihua Xiu holding her head and groaning in pain.
