The Reckless Life of Xiexie

Chapter 10

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Suspension's cultivation had improved a lot on Spirit Mountain, all her spells were taught by the Monkey King. The Monkey King knew her spells like the back of his hand. It was not easy for her to stop him.

"Stop messing around. Get down."

"I don't want to." Not only did she not go down, she even tightened her arms and buried her head in the monkey fur on his neck.

Monkey King felt that his monkey fur was moist. Suddenly, he felt that there was a breath in his chest that could not be released. His body was made of copper and iron, and the body of the goblin was as soft as water. It was easy for him to push her away, but this breath in his chest made it impossible for him to push her away.

"Vixen, what kind of person am I, Old Sun, in your heart?"

Suspension raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were still filled with tears, and her cheeks were red. She panted a few times and held back her tears. Unknowingly, the smell of peaches seemed to spread out again. Monkey King turned his head to the side uncomfortably.

"Of course you're the best. Even Patriarch Bodhi said that you're gifted and that there's nothing you can't do."

"Heh, I, Old Sun, am not as good as you say."

If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been suppressed for 500 years, and he wouldn't have let those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals set fire to Huaguo Mountain, causing his monkeys to be injured so badly that they couldn't die even if they wanted to.

500 years. He had grown up and understood a lot. As long as he safely sent Tang Seng to the Western Paradise, it would take at least 100 years. He had also repaid the favor of Tang Seng for saving him. The rest of the time was completely up to him. Now that he was wearing the golden headband, as long as he did what those people wanted, everything would be peaceful.

At this moment, looking at his eyes and looking at the things inside, Suspension suddenly realized that the Monkey King now was no longer the naive and lively Stone Monkey that had just jumped out of the stone. He was also not the proud Monkey King who had just returned from his studies. He was now Traveling Monk Sun, the Monkey King who had been suppressed for 500 years and had experienced a lot.

"Alright, stop fooling around. You've already waited for Old Sun for 500 years. Old Sun promises you that in 100 years at most, Old Sun will be the king of Huaguo Mountain with you. You'll still be the second king, second only to one person and above everyone else. How about that?"

"No, I have to be above 10,001 people. I have to be above you too." As he said that, he pushed the Monkey King onto the bed and laughed. "I'll be above you too, right? Hehe."

"You little devil, you're going to crush Old Sun to death with your weight." The Monkey King exclaimed, his expression extremely exaggerated.

"That won't happen. Even the Five Finger Mountain can't crush you to death. How can I crush you to death?" As he said that, he moved his body and weighed it twice. "Look, I'm not heavy at all."

The bed frame made cracking sounds. The Monkey King realized that something was wrong and hurriedly got down from the bed with the Suspension. Just as he steadied himself and looked back, he saw that the bed frame had broken from the middle.

The bed … collapsed.

"Am I really … very heavy?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go." He plucked a strand of monkey hair and turned it into a piece of clothing. Then, the two of them quickly went to the clouds.

If the Suspension could see, he would find that the bed frame had cracked very neatly, as if someone had done it on purpose.

They went to find the Lingjie Bodhisattva. The Lingjie Bodhisattva followed them to the Yellow Wind Ridge, but they were too late. When they arrived, Marten and his rats had already left, leaving only the unconscious Tang Seng.

"This monster ran away fast. If I, Old Sun, meet him next time, I'll definitely teach him a lesson." The Monkey King said hatefully.

"Since the monster has run away, I'll go back. If you and your master encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Bodhisattva, for coming with me, Old Sun. Sorry for disturbing you."

The Lingjie Bodhisattva left. The Monkey King looked at him and smiled. He could compromise temporarily for the people he cared about, but he could not let this broken golden hoop imprison him for a lifetime.

"Wukong, where is Ba Jie?"

The Tang Seng woke up and asked. The Suspension remembered that Pigsy seemed to be still. However, the Yellow Wind Ridge was so big. Was he buried under the yellow sand?

"Master, I'm here. Old Pig is here."

Pigsy's silly voice came from behind. When he saw the Tang Seng, he immediately burst into tears. "Master, you've finally come out. That monster is too powerful. He can even control Old Woman Feng's wind. Brother Monkey was confused when he fought with him. Fortunately, Bodhisattva came. Otherwise, you would have become that monster's meal."

"Amitabha. Thank you, Bodhisattva, for saving me." Then he looked at Pigsy. "Ba Jie, are you injured again?"

"No, no. Suspension fixed me in place so that I wouldn't affect Brother Monkey's battle with that monster. I was buried under the yellow sand, so I wasn't injured."

These were good words, but why did it sound so strange?

Was he blaming her for fixing him in place?

Even the Suspension could hear it. How could Wukong not know?

"Amitabha. Everything is God's will. A strange combination of factors may lead to a good result."

The group continued on their way. Since the Monkey King came out, she knew that he was different. However, she didn't think about it carefully before. After this incident, she thought that she should think about it better.

However, the surroundings were too noisy. After talking to the Monkey King, she left the group.

Riding a cloud in the sky, she remembered that Marten had escaped. She went to the bottomless pit of the Pitfall Mountain and reported her name outside the pit. After a while, a group of white mice welcomed her in.

"You're here. Have a seat."

The white mouse casually pointed to the seat next to her. After she sat down, a maid served fruits and snacks. "I know you like peaches. These are the best peaches in the Pitfall Mountain."

"Thank you."

When she saw the peaches, she thought of Wukong again. They had only been separated for less than four hours. She wondered how he was doing.

The white rat glanced at her. "Yesterday, my Daoist brother came and told me that he saw your lover. He was a stone monkey that turned into a demon. I didn't expect you to be so capable. You found such a cultivator as your lover. Won't your cultivation improve rapidly after dual cultivation?"

"What … what are you talking about?"

Seeing Xie Xie's red face and red ears when she lowered her head, the white mouse was immediately surprised. "No way, you haven't done it yet?"

Suspension did not know what husband and wife were in the past. She only knew that she liked to be with Wukong. As long as they were together, she would be happy.

During the Thousand Demon Meet, Bai Pan-pian told her that if she wanted Wukong to return to Mount Huaguo with her, they would become husband and wife. In Buddhism, Wukong could return to Mount Huaguo if he violated the precept. That was why she used the Body Freezing Art on Wukong. She wanted to force herself on him. However, her cultivation was limited and she could not do it at all. She could only leave it as it was.

"Is Marten safe now? Where is he?"

"Taoist Brother is safe. He's on the mountain next to us. No one will be able to find him for a while."

The white mouse clicked its tongue. "You're really stupid. He's such a powerful person. You just let him be a monk. If he understands Buddhism in the future and doesn't want you anymore, where will you go to cry?"

"He won't. Wukong said that he would return to Mount Huaguo with me in less than a hundred years." Wukong said it. He would definitely not go back on his words.

"Heh. How many men can be trusted?"

In any case, up until now, every man she had met had said that they liked her, but they didn't like her appearance. If she changed her appearance to a more ordinary one, who would still like her?

"Wukong will not lie."

The white mouse found her insistence very funny and nodded casually. "Alright. You can believe your monkey's words. A hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye. Let's wait and see."

Knowing that Marten was safe, Suspension left the Bottomless Pit. She knew that the white mouse had good intentions, but she really believed that Wukong would not lie to her. Just as she said, a hundred years was just a blink of an eye to a demon. If Wukong really did lie to her, she would use her poisonous tail to stab him and make him roll on the ground in pain.

After leaving the Bottomless Pit, Suspension rode a cloud in the sky. For a moment, she did not know where to go. She did not want to return to Mount Huaguo, nor did she want to find Bai Pan-pian and the others. She just floated aimlessly in the sky.
