Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 65 Farewell, Chaos Residence

Although this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it did contain a kernel of truth, but those powerful beings would not get involved in this matter.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Then you could still become a marshal, could it be that you bribed someone?"

"The Heavenly Court is truly casual."

Upon hearing this, Tian Peng immediately got angry. His status as the marshal of the naval forces was his pride, and he could not tolerate someone trampling on it!

Just as he was about to speak up and show off again, he realized that Sun Wukong was about to give him a couple more kicks.

"Hey, Mr. Monkey, go easy on my feet!" Tian Peng was shocked and scared, instantly turning into a coward.

"What did you call me?" Sun Wukong leaned in with his ear, pretending he hadn’t heard clearly.

"I remember you saying something about calling me what if you could hurt me?"

Seeing the foot that Sun Wukong was about to bring down, Tian Peng steeled himself and said, "Monkey Dad, don’t kick me, please don’t."

Sun Wukong stopped his foot but only to switch to the other one, grinning mischievously said, "I also heard you just said what would happen if I moved?"

"Sir Monkey! Please lift your noble foot, Sir Monkey!" Tian Peng completely gave up on his pride; he was in a near-death state as is, and should this foot come down, his fate would become uncertain.

Hearing the words he wanted to hear, Sun Wukong slowly nodded and withdrew his foot. However, seeing Tian Peng’s face as though he had a narrow escape from death, Sun Wukong began to hatch another wicked plan.

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"??" Tian Peng was baffled. Wasn’t this beating enough?

"Sir Monkey, you’re joking with me, right? I already called you Sir Monkey!" Tian Peng forced a slight smile as he spoke.

"Yes, but does that change my desire to kill you?" Sun Wukong said menacingly.

Tian Peng thought to himself: "This damn thing doesn’t seem to make any difference at all!"

"I, old Sun, was just sitting pretty, drinking wine, and you went straight to send a girl and a guy with a pudding below, holding a pagoda, to catch me!"

A girl? Pudding guy? What are those?

Tian Peng listened with a completely bewildered face.

But then it clicked for him; as soon as he thought about the defeat of Nezha that Gold Star Taibai had mentioned, he understood. The girl must be Nezha, the lad that looks like a girl!

As for the person holding the pagoda and accompanying Nezha, it could only be Li Jing. But what in the world did he mean by Li Jing being a pudding?

No matter what Tian Peng was thinking, Sun Wukong rambled on: "I didn’t take it seriously and let them go after winning."

"But here you come again, as if old Sun was made of mud!" Sun Wukong said angrily, his rage increasing by the second!

Drinking wine requires the right atmosphere, once might be overlooked, but you have the guts to come a second time!

Damn it! Nezha and Li Jing are screwing me over!

Tian Peng wanted to curse them out in his heart.

"Sir Monkey, how about I drink with you, I’m quite good at livening up the mood!" Tian Peng volunteered himself, desperate to save his own life.

"Just looking at you gets me mad, kill him, kill him!" Sun Wukong secretly smirked to himself, but his expression remained unmoved, even pulling out the As-You-Will Kitchen Knife.

Tian Peng was truly in a panic now; this monkey really wanted his life!

"Sir Monkey, I am a marshal of the Heavenly Court, a high-ranking official. If I die, they will definitely hold someone accountable!" Tian Peng shouted, his face full of horror as he began to struggle desperately. However, the rope binding him seemed thin, but with his mana sealed by Sun Wukong, he couldn’t break free at all.

Sun Wukong was not swayed, his hand moved and the knife fell!

Watching the As-You-Will Kitchen Knife chopping down, Tian Peng felt nothing but despair.

"Farewell, Chaos Residence!"

Tian Peng shouted with his eyes closed, using all his strength for a final farewell.

But he did not feel any pain; on opening his eyes, he found the As-You-Will Kitchen Knife had not landed on him, and Sun Wukong looked at him puzzled.

"You know about Chaos Residence?"

"I do, I do!" Tian Peng nodded repeatedly and said: "Isn’t that the place at Mount Fangcun, run by Shopkeeper Lin?"

After speaking, Tian Peng belatedly looked at Sun Wukong and asked, "Sir Monkey, you know it too?"

"I’m his disciple, how could I not know?" Sun Wukong casually stowed away the As-You-Will Kitchen Knife.

Tian Peng’s first reaction was disbelief, but then he thought, this monkey is so abnormal, in the whole wide world, apart from Shopkeeper Chen, who else could there be capable of teaching him?

No wonder Buddhism couldn’t find him back then, turns out he went to Shopkeeper Chen’s place.

Not being able to find it, that’s all too normal!

Unless it’s by a twist of fate or you know the exact location, that shop is impossible to locate by any means!

Unable to contain his joy, Tian Peng exclaimed, "Sir Monkey, Sir Monkey, I’ve shopped at the store before, and I’m even a VIP member, we’re practically family!"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and Tian Peng took a tumble, face first into the dirt, but he didn’t care about the pain and hurriedly tried to ingratiate himself, "Sir Monkey, it’s true what they say, no discord, no concord!"

"Look at you, all spineless like that, just call me bro," Sun Wukong rolled his eyes.

"Mr. Monkey!"

Tian Peng’s face lit up with enthusiasm, all previous complaints about Sun Wukong forgotten—after all, this was Shopkeeper Chen’s disciple!

He wasn’t a match, was he just showing off in front of the master?

"May I ask, Mr. Monkey, how many Divine Skills have you awakened?" Tian Peng asked cautiously.

Sun Wukong originally wanted to brag, but then he remembered Chen Nuo’s admonition to keep a low profile.

So he restrained himself and said lightly, "Not many, just ten."

Tian Peng: Holy shit, ten? That’s freaking amazing!

Envy and awe were all over Tian Peng’s face; he had only managed to eat his way to two.

"That weird movement technique and color-changing defense from earlier, you learned them from my master too, didn’t you?" Sun Wukong glanced at Tian Peng and said nonchalantly.

"Mr. Monkey, you really do have a keen eye!" Tian Peng was full of shock, not expecting to be seen through at a glance.

He laughed slyly, a hint of envy in his eyes as he said, "Mr. Monkey, how long did it take you to learn ten Divine Skills?"

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "About nine years and three months."

"That long?!" Tian Peng was shocked.

Sun Wukong nodded, "The master’s reverse Divine Skills Awakening gets harder and harder. That means with each skill you awaken, the difficulty for the next one doubles!"

Tian Peng nodded thoughtfully. No wonder his third Divine Skill had yet to awaken—he had thought it was ineffective.

"Mr. Monkey, does being a disciple come with meals?" Tian Peng’s eyes spun around, fishing for a loophole.

Sun Wukong shook his head, "Meals? You buy your own!"

Hmm...

Tian Peng’s face fell; Shopkeeper Chen was indeed strict. Not one for mixing business with personal matters!

"Then, Mr. Monkey, what are your charges?"

"Ten monkey hairs a day."

Tian Peng was startled—a monkey paying with monkey hairs, how sweet was that?

How come this monkey was so lucky, getting a Golden Immortal level Magical Treasure, forcing him to often team up with that dog to hunt for treasures.

Tian Peng wanted to cry but found no loopholes to exploit.

The thought of becoming Chen Nuo’s disciple for a shortcut dissipated from Tian Peng’s mind, but he scrutinized the sparse fur on Sun Wukong’s body and nodded silently.

No wonder he had awakened so many skills; he sure had eaten a lot!

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Tian Peng was silent for a while but then decided to kindly give Sun Wukong a heads-up.

"Mr. Monkey, your fur is much less than the average monkey’s!"

"I know that."
