Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 784 - 783 Urging Kuimu Wolf to Transform into a Human

"Husband, I... this is probably just a coincidence, right? They were headed to Journey to the West, and the Treasure Elephant Kingdom is right ahead, aren’t they? They might have just passed by and heard about this, then my father found them. You know, husband, my father has spent so many years and used so much manpower to find me—every year, quite a number of people come looking for you too. So why is it that now, when this Monk comes searching, you’re questioning me?" Baihua Xiu’s voice trembled with the threat of tears.

Kuimu Wolf felt that she seemed to make some sense. Indeed, it wasn’t good to accuse someone without knowing anything, but this coincidence was also a bit too fortuitous, which made it hard to believe, so he asked, "Do you mean to say, when you let that Monk go before, you secretly had him send a letter? Otherwise, how could they have arrived here so quickly?"

"I didn’t, husband! I really don’t know how this monkey got here. I didn’t do anything, really!" Baihua Xiu hastily insisted.

Seeing that he couldn’t get anything more from Baihua Xiu, Kuimu Wolf then began to interrogate Six-Eared Macaque, "Come on, you Monkey, tell me the truth. Did you receive a letter that brought you here?"

Having anticipated this, Six-Ears was certainly not about to confess. He defied, saying, "What letter? I don’t know about any letter. I came here only after hearing from the king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom. I am here to save the Third Princess. If you know what’s good for you, hand her over quickly, or you will regret it!"

Enraged, Kuimu Wolf kicked at the Six-Eared Macaque, "Hand over the Princess? Dream on! I’m telling you, that’s never going to happen. And look at you; you’re already captured by me. Still dreaming of finding the Princess? Delusional. I’m regretting letting your master go now. Since your master is already in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, I will just capture him too and have both of you stewed for a meal!"

When Six-Eared Macaque heard this, he glared at Kuimu Wolf, "You dare! Let me tell you, my master is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. You think you can eat him? You might want to check if you have that sort of luck!"

"What have I to fear when I have his disciple captured? I should have let him be, to go to the Western Heaven for Scriptures. Instead, he disobeyed and insisted on going to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, even aiming to help its king capture me. Now why doesn’t he remember the mercy I showed by not eating him? Well then, Treasure Elephant Kingdom, here I come!"

As Kuimu Wolf spoke, he grabbed his weapon and headed for the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, only to be stopped halfway by Baihua Xiu.

"Wife, don’t worry about me. After all, there’s no one there who can deal with me. This time, I will surely and securely bring Tang Monk back with me. Once I have him, I’ll let you have a good taste of Tang Monk meat, which is both beautifying and life-extending."

Baihua Xiu wasn’t actually worried that Kuimu Wolf would get hurt. She simply said, "Husband, I think if you’re going to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom now, it’d be better to change your appearance."

Kuimu Wolf was perplexed, "Why, wife? Isn’t the way I am good enough? Mighty and domineering—I’ll surely make great face for you, letting everyone say that you were captured by a fearsome monster."

Baihua Xiu looked at Kuimu Wolf, with his furry body and bared fangs, knowing that if he really went to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom looking like that, even getting through the city gates might be a problem, let alone trying to find her imperial father.

"Husband, I know you’re mighty and domineering, but could you transform into something that looks like a normal human? The way you are now really does resemble a monster, and I think it’s not very good," Baihua Xiu advised.

Kuimu Wolf had always been quite satisfied with his appearance, but after hearing Baihua Xiu’s words, he suddenly felt a bit insecure, "My wife, if it’s as you say, what should I do?"

"Can you transform into a mortal’s appearance?" Baihua Xiu asked. "Although your current form is fine, my father and those princes and nobles have only seen mortals, and they will surely be frightened by your appearance. It might be better to take on the form of a mortal. Try to behave normally too, so no one laughs at you."

Kuimu Wolf felt that Baihua Xiu made a good point and nodded eagerly, "Oh, right, right, my wife, you think things through so thoroughly. Look at your husband here, about to meet my father-in-law without understanding anything, truly reckless. Luckily my wife is intelligent and foresighted, considering even such a simple matter so carefully."

He said this to flatter Baihua Xiu because he had just misunderstood her, and he feared she might really get angry with him if he didn’t say some nice words now.

At this moment, Baihua Xiu’s mind was filled solely with the strategy she had already discussed with that gentleman before, leaving no room or mood to think about other matters.

Kuimu Wolf found it odd since usually, if something like this happened, his wife would have likely run off to cry in their room by now, not staying here, still talking to him with a pleasant demeanor. But he just found it strange, the thought flashing through his mind momentarily and then cast aside. Such things were not worth keeping in his heart; as long as he remembered his wife’s kindness, that was enough. Other matters were not his to consider.

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts, neither paying much attention to the other’s expression. If they had looked each other in the eye at that moment, they would have seen the guilt in both sets of eyes.

Regrettably, one was guilty about conspiring with others to deceive him, and the other felt guilty for scolding someone unsparingly without knowing the full story earlier. Either way, both were not good things.

"Hurry and transform, husband," urged Baihua Xiu, feeling uneasy with such emotions tormenting her and wanting to prompt Kuimu Wolf to change his form quickly. It’s better for him to leave soon. Out of sight, out of mind. Once he’s gone, she would gradually understand and accept the truth. In the end, enduring a brief pain is better than a prolonged one. As long as one makes a decision, things will become easier afterwards. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Reminded by this, Kuimu Wolf realized he had not yet transformed. He smiled and said, "Alright, my wife, just watch your husband and rest assured."

A puff of smoke flashed by, and when Baihua Xiu opened her eyes again, Kuimu Wolf had transformed into a mortal. His height hadn’t changed much, the fur covering his body and the protruding fangs had retracted, and his facial features were actually quite alright. Coupled with his tall stature, he looked every bit the image of a handsome and robust man.

"How is it, my wife? Have a look at your husband. This form is acceptable, right? If I weren’t a demon, I would also look like this," Kuimu Wolf said.

Baihua Xiu simply smiled faintly, "But husband, you are originally a demon. If you weren’t a demon, how could you have met me? Or are you saying this to tell me that you truly do not wish to stay with me anymore?"
