Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 38: The Monkey is Missing Again?!

"Can you even compare the two? I ate an eagle, you’re eating Kunpeng!" Bull Demon King started making excuses.

Roc Demon King was not about to show weakness. "That works out just fine, you’re the White Kui Bull, and that one’s the Black Wild Bull; you’re not the same either!"

The two immediately started quarreling, when Sun Wukong interrupted, "No need to argue anymore. Cow eats cow, bird eats bird. Consider it your punishment; otherwise, don’t even think about leaving Huaguo Mountain!"

Having said that, he used his mana to snap the ropes. He wasn’t afraid of the two demons at the height of their power, let alone now.

Bull Demon King wanted to talk tough when he saw how arrogant the monkey was acting, but then he thought better of it; after all, he was no match for him.

Even though this monkey was in the Taiyi Realm, his movements completely surpassed those of the Taiyi.

Alas, Bull Demon King sighed; under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.

Roc Demon King felt the same way; words of blame turned into mutual comfort. The Black Wild Bull was not the White Kui Bull, and the eagle was not the Kunpeng.

Closing their eyes and steeling their hearts, they took their first bite.

The two demons, preparing themselves for a tragic moment, suddenly opened their eyes – could this be this delicious?

Both of them cried out in their hearts in surprise!

Bull Demon King chewed the beef meatball in his mouth, savoring its elasticity; although it was meat, it felt incredible to bite into.

The rich flavor of the beef blossomed in his mouth, savory yet perfectly seasoned. Was this the true taste of beef?

Roc Demon King took a bite of a bird wing, with the spiciness and cumin flavor blending perfectly with the eagle meat, instantly igniting his taste buds.

No wonder humans love to eat chicken wings so much. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

While savoring the eagle wing, Roc Demon King found himself forgetting his own identity.

"Delicious!"

The two demons, as if by agreement, sped up their eating. With the delicious food in their stomachs, their anger mysteriously vanished.

Bull Demon King beamed a radiant smile, setting aside his prejudices to simply savor the taste; it was indeed delicious.

There was nothing like it in heaven or on earth; he lived so long and had never tasted anything so exquisite!

"Mr. Monkey, I was in the wrong before. Let’s consider this an opportunity to get to know each other. I genuinely admire your strength, old Bull is thoroughly convinced. If you don’t mind, I would like to make friends with you!" Bull Demon King said earnestly.

"You are quite the man!" Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered with surprise, and then he looked at Bull Demon King with a bit of admiration.

"Same here!" Roc Demon King also stood up. This was the first time, besides his father, that he’d seen someone who could outpace him with speed, and who could also cook so deliciously; a rare talent among the Demon Clan!

In just a few words, Sun Wukong found they had the frank nature of true demons; since the grudge wasn’t personal, he happily agreed.

However, this time, Sun Wukong was not forming a brotherhood with the Six Demon Kings like in the original story but merely making friends with Bull Demon King and Roc Demon King.

In his opinion, everything else was nonsense; only cooking well was what truly mattered.

In a blink of an eye, a month had passed. To the Immortal Clans, a month was no more than the blink of an eye, but for Buddhism, it was different.

Buddhism couldn’t wait anymore, because the Heavenly Court was taking its time to go to the Lower Realm to capture Sun Wukong or to send envoys to placate him.

Having no choice, considering the poor relationship between the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain, Tathagata had to come over in person to inquire.

"Your Majesty, why have you not continued with the Journey to the West?"

Seeing Tathagata so anxious, Haotian felt smug inside. "How can we continue without completing the first part?"

Tathagata frowned. "Great Celestial Lord, didn’t that monkey already take the Sea-Calming Divine Needle? Didn’t the Dragon King report it?"

"He went to take it, indeed, but since he didn’t damage the Dragon Palace or kill members of the Sea Tribe, what grounds are there for a complaint?"

"Isn’t there still the Underworld?"

Tathagata asked in a deep voice.

"According to you, get the monkey drunk, and when his mind is unsettled, Hell can dispatch the Unchanging Soul Lock." Haotian smiled slightly, continuing, "It’s a pity that my monkey doesn’t touch a drop of alcohol, and moreover, his strength is formidable, and his divine soul is stable. Hell simply has no opportunity to hook his soul!"

"Venerable One, your Buddhism has indeed cultivated a fine disciple!"

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Tathagata’s face. If this monkey had been taught by his Buddhism, there would not have been so many problems.

It was unknown which sage from the heaven and earth insisted on meddling in this matter.

"Then please, Celestial Lord, do not concern yourself with these matters, and continue in accordance with the plan of my Buddhism," Tathagata replied with a nod, reciting a Buddhist mantra.

The depths of Haotian’s eyes gleamed, the plan of Buddhism...

"Alright!"

Seeing Haotian agree, Tathagata let out a sigh of relief, silently calculating the location of Sun Wukong, preparing to plan the timing.

But in the next moment, Tathagata’s expression stiffened.

Was the monkey gone again?!

Even with Tathagata’s temperament, at this moment he wanted to burst into curses. Ever since the monkey disappeared at sea in search of immortals, not a single event in his Buddhism’s plan had gone well.

"Celestial Lord, delay the execution of the plan. I have urgent matters to attend to!" Tathagata left in haste after dropping those words.

Haotian rose with a ponderous expression, carefully calculating, and a schadenfreude smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Monkey, is this the place?" Roc Demon King asked in confusion while looking at the unremarkable restaurant before him.

Sun Wukong nodded, "This is where my master resides."

"This signboard is really a bit..." Bull Demon King wanted to say something, but he seemed to hesitate.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong chuckled, "Think it’s written too arrogantly? But once you witness my master’s capabilities, you won’t think so."

"I studied cooking with my master for ten years, yet my culinary skills are merely a drop in the ocean compared to his. Also, no matter how much my cultivation improves, I always feel an unfathomable depth when facing Master!"

"Is it that terrifying?"

Bull Demon King shivered involuntarily.

"Let’s go. Haven’t you always wanted to taste the most delicious delicacies in the world? However, you may need to pay," Sun Wukong said excitedly, looking forward to eating his master’s cooking again. Although he had eaten it for ten years, who would turn down such a skill for free?

"Pay? I have money!" Roc Demon King patted the purse at his waist. Most Demon Kings liked to show off their demon heads, but Roc Demon King was willing to mingle in the human world, so he took on a handsome human appearance and naturally had a lot of human money.

Sun Wukong shook his head, "It might not be for money. Come on in."

After speaking, he led the way into the restaurant, while Roc Demon King felt somewhat baffled. He exchanged glances with Bull Demon King, and they both followed.

"Master, I’m back!" Sun Wukong couldn’t hide his excitement upon returning to Chaos Residence.

"Hmm, I knew already," Chen Nuo nodded, hearing the loud conversation outside, he wasn’t a fool.

Sun Wukong grinned, turning sideways to introduce Roc Demon King and Bull Demon King, "This is my master, the owner of Chaos Residence!"

"We pay our respects to you, senior!" Bull Demon King and Roc Demon King hastily paid their respects, not daring to be negligent.

To have taught someone as outstanding as Sun Wukong, it certainly was no simple feat; to bear witness was definitely something they looked up to!

"Hmm, rise," said Chen Nuo indifferently.

He turned his head knowingly, as the only one who could have an interaction with Sun Wukong was Bull Demon King. However, he did not recognize the handsome young man beside him.

"He is Bull Demon King, and this one is Roc Demon King," Sun Wukong said.

So it was, another one of the Demon Kings. Chen Nuo nodded lightly.
