The returning Guanyin Bodhisattva’s expression was calm, but tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing the Bodhisattva’s expression, Qi Tian knew that the negotiations had likely broken down, but he still asked, “Bodhisattva, what did the Jade Emperor say?”
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly, “The Jade Emperor, as the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, will not accept threats from individuals of unknown origin.”
Even when relaying Qi Tian’s words, she had tried her best to be tactful, not explicitly mentioning the threat.
But who was the Jade Emperor?
Having experienced countless calamities, he immediately understood the real meaning of her words, even after Guanyin Bodhisattva had softened her phrasing.
Would the Jade Emperor tolerate this?
I, the Jade Emperor, and you, a monkey of unknown origin, dare to threaten me?
Are you seeking death?
What if you have a powerful being backing you?
I myself am a powerful being!
And I reside within this world, able to command its entire power at any moment.
If you dare enter in your true form, it’s uncertain who would win.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor, without a moment’s hesitation, directly refused.
If anyone could threaten him, he might as well abdicate and raise pigs.
“As expected.”
Qi Tian sighed internally.
Although he had known the outcome, he still felt a tinge of disappointment.
Along with the disappointment, a hidden excitement arose within him.
You refused, so don’t blame me for what happens next!
【Qi Tian: @Monkey King, Peach Brother, the Jade Emperor refused. We can begin our actions now.】
【Monkey King: Received!】
After contacting Monkey King in the chat group, Qi Tian clasped his hands together and thanked the Bodhisattva. “Thank you for making this trip, Bodhisattva.”
He genuinely respected Guanyin Bodhisattva.
His threats before were merely due to their differing stances.
Now that the outcome was known, there was no need to speak that way anymore.
“I thought you would be angry, sir.”
Guanyin Bodhisattva didn’t expect Qi Tian to be so calm.
“Where did the Bodhisattva get that idea? I’m just a small demon for now.”
“Any Heavenly Soldier or General from the Heavenly Court could defeat me, and even the goldfish in the Bodhisattva’s lotus pond could jump up and give me a tail-slap.”
“How dare I oppose the Heavenly Court?”
While claiming to not dare oppose the Heavenly Court, Guanyin Bodhisattva saw no trace of fear toward the Heavenly Court or the Jade Emperor in his eyes.
However, she didn’t mind. The Jade Emperor was her superior, but she wouldn’t demand Qi Tian to respect him.
Many people in the mortal realm wouldn’t even respect the Jade Emperor, let alone name-calling him.
If she had to manage all of them, she would have been worn out long ago.
“Are you returning, sir?”
This was a way of politely asking him to leave.
But Qi Tian was a thick-skinned fellow. The good show hadn’t even begun, so why would he leave now?
“After traveling to another world, I haven’t had a chance to explore properly. Maybe I should stay a bit longer.”
Staying a bit longer, do you think this is a vacation?
“If you wish to stay for a while, you are welcome. But you must temporarily reside on my Mount Lozga until the matter of the Supreme Treasure is resolved.
“You can come and go as you please after that.”
It was basically telling him not to meddle in the Supreme Treasure’s affairs.
However, Bodhisattva, you’ve miscalculated this time. Our target has changed!
“Of course. Bodhisattva’s cultivation is profound. I also have some cultivation-related difficulties that I would like to ask for your guidance.”
“I hope Bodhisattva will not hesitate to teach me.”
Qi Tian smiled warmly, with no reluctance at all.
This was also the truth.
There was a powerful being beside him, who was practically an encyclopedia of cultivation. It would be a disservice to himself not to ask!
“Good.”
Guanyin Bodhisattva clasped her hands together.
But somehow, she felt like she had forgotten something.
Never mind. The Jade Emperor had only asked her to watch over Qi Tian, she didn’t have to worry about anything else.
Monkey King World.
“Finally able to go out for a stroll.”
“Stuck here for five hundred years, my bones have rusted.”
Monkey King’s only movable hand swung vigorously.
He could finally go out and move around. Although only for a short day, one day was freedom.
【Monkey King: @Supreme Treasure, I’m about to go to your world. Please agree.】
【Supreme Treasure: I’m ready. Just come over.】
Upon receiving the reply, Monkey King contacted the chat group.
In the next instant, Monkey King yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
However, neither the Heavenly Court nor the Western Heavenly Mount’s inhabitants noticed.
The one sleeping here was merely a fake body. The real body had already departed for another world.
In another world, Supreme Treasure mumbled beside a campfire.
“Didn’t Peach Brother say he was coming?”
“Why haven’t I seen him?”
The chat group’s travel was instantaneous. After he agreed, Monkey King should have arrived beside him immediately.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear.
“You’re dumb! If I, Old Monkey, didn’t hide, the Heavenly Court would know I had arrived.”
Supreme Treasure nearly jumped out of his skin, but he soon guessed who it was.
【Supreme Treasure: My god, Peach Brother, can you speak to me directly in the group next time? You almost scared me to death!】
【Monkey King: Sorry, sorry. I didn’t think about that.】
Monkey King was a little embarrassed. He had transformed into a flea during the travel process and was on Supreme Treasure.
The person was right in front of him, so who would chat in the group?
That’s why he spoke directly in Supreme Treasure’s ear.
【Supreme Treasure: Alright, just remember to share some of the Golden Elixir and Peaches with me when you steal them.】
【Monkey King: Don’t worry. You’ll get your share.】
【Monkey King: I’m leaving now. Be careful.】
Monkey King, who had transformed into a flea and was perched on Supreme Treasure’s shoulder, looked up at the sky.
Golden Elixir, Peaches!
Old Monkey’s here!
…
Thanks to “Li Tianyou” for the monthly ticket, thanks.
