“I said, Bodhisattva, you brought me all the way here.”
“Can’t you come out and tell me why?”
“Then can you give me something to eat? I’m hungry.”
Qi Tian sat in the tree and called out for a long time.
As expected, the Bodhisattva did not respond to him. Without a reply, Qi Tian ran off to bother the Black Bear Spirit instead.
“Old Black, you must be the Black Bear Spirit from Black Wind Mountain, right?”
“Can you tell me how many robes that old Deng from Jin Chi collected back then?”
“By the way, now that you’ve become the mountain guardian for the Bodhisattva, you haven’t had any meat, have you?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, the Bodhisattva is really too cruel. A perfectly good carnivorous creature, forced to eat only vegetables.”
“How about this? I saw a goldfish in that lotus pond; let’s catch it and roast it to eat.”
“I tell you, my fish-roasting skills are absolutely top-notch!”
“Are you worried the Bodhisattva will blame you if she finds out?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just the two of us here. As long as you don’t say anything, I won’t say anything, the Bodhisattva won’t know.”
Qi Tian buzzed around the Black Bear Spirit’s ear like a mosquito.
The Black Bear Spirit opened his eyes and glared fiercely at Qi Tian.
This dead monkey, where did he get so much nonsense?
And how did he know those old stories?
He was just as annoying as that monkey, Sun Wukong.
Forget it, after all, it was the Bodhisattva who threw him here, so he didn’t dare to really lay hands on Qi Tian.
He simply closed his eyes and shut his ears with magic, letting Qi Tian make a fuss.
“Old Black, say something!”
“Old Black?”
“Old Black?”
After calling for a long time and pushing him a couple of times without any response, Qi Tian sighed.
“Fine, since you don’t want to eat roasted fish, I’ll do it myself.”
“I wonder what the flavor of the Inspiration King is like.”
Qi Tian licked his lips; he had been curious about this since he watched Journey to the West a long time ago.
Why did these little pets come down to eat humans, only to be taken back for education?
Clearly, there are rules in Heaven that gods cannot come down at will.
If gods can’t casually descend, then how come their mounts and pets sneak down and eat so many people without any punishment?
Isn’t this just bullying ordinary people?
So ordinary people should be tormented by you monsters?
As for whether the goldfish in this lotus pond is the Inspiration King?
Qi Tian couldn’t care less; you’re in Guanyin’s lotus pond, and you’re still just a goldfish.
If you’re not the Inspiration King, could it be that I, Qi Tian, am?
Anyway, this fish is definitely going to be mine!
Guanyin can’t stop me!
He casually plucked a monkey hair, transformed it into a net, and prepared to dive into the lotus pond to catch the fish.
Carefully approaching the swimming goldfish, Qi Tian seized the moment and cast the net over the goldfish.
But before he could celebrate, the goldfish gently flicked its tail in the net, creating a large hole.
The goldfish fell back into the lotus pond, even giving Qi Tian a disdainful roll of its eyes.
Are you stupid, monkey?
Don’t you see what kind of goldfish I am? You think you can catch me with a broken net? Dream on!
“You dare to mock me?”
Qi Tian’s temper flared up.
The net transformed into a harpoon, and Qi Tian became a tidal sea spirit, chasing the goldfish in the lotus pond.
However, it was useless; having lived in Guanyin’s lotus pond for so long, even the paramecium could become a spirit, let alone a goldfish?
“Hoo hoo hoo!”
“You, don’t run!”
“I’m definitely going to eat you today!”
After chasing for a long time, Qi Tian was panting heavily, the once pristine lotus pond now a complete mess, while the goldfish remained unharmed, still lively and jumping around.
After hearing Qi Tian’s threats, it aimed its tail at him and disdainfully flicked it.
“Damn it, I can’t take it anymore!”
Just as Qi Tian was about to run back to the group to ask the Monkey King for a monkey hair, a helpless female voice came from behind.
“Amitabha, if you have any questions, you can ask this poor monk. Why must you make things difficult for a fish?”
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the lotus pond, now in disarray, and sighed softly.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the lotus pond returned to its previous clean and tidy state.
She had been keeping an eye on the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, and she was already aware of the events surrounding the return of Zhi Zun Bao.
She just didn’t expect that along with Zhi Zun Bao, there were two other monkeys.
It would have been fine if they just came back, but it was hard to figure out where these powerful beings came from.
In her helplessness, one monkey was taken away by her, while the other was taken by Xu Putai.
She originally planned to throw Qi Tian on Mount Luojia and wait until Sun Wukong returned to release him.
This way, it wouldn’t affect anything.
Who knew this monkey not only caused a ruckus but was also clever enough to guess he was on Mount Luojia in the South Sea.
Then he went off to mess with the mountain guardian.
When the mountain guardian ignored him, he ran off to eat the fish she raised, making a complete mess of the lotus pond.
If this continued, even the Purple Bamboo Forest might be in trouble.
Seeing Guanyin come out, Qi Tian was delighted; he thought you really weren’t going to come out.
After tidying up his clothes, Qi Tian said meaningfully.
“Sun Wukong, meet Guanyin Bodhisattva.”
