Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 912 - 913: Kowtow 1,000 Times (2nd Update!)
"Not in time? Not necessarily!"
Sun Wukong curled the corners of his mouth with deep meaning, "After tonight’s nightfall, come to the entrance of my residence and kowtow a thousand times, I, Sun, will help you solve this problem! Whether you are willing or not, it’s up to your own choice!"
With a flash of his figure, Sun Wukong had disappeared from the Battle God Platform and appeared below it. But this time, the experts of the Battle God Ape Clan looked at him with completely different eyes, all unconsciously making way for him.
Sun Wukong had already proven his strength with actual actions. The strong are respected anywhere, especially in the Battle God Ape Clan, where strength is revered!
"That guy!"
On the Battle God Platform, Toxic General Yuan Du clenched his fists, watching Sun Wukong’s departing figure with a complicated expression. Before Sun Wukong left, he said that if he kowtowed a thousand times outside his residence that night, he would help him solve his body’s hidden ailment.
Should he go or not?
"Wukong, can you really resolve his poison body plight for Yuan Du?"
Divine General Yuan Long continued to walk leisurely with Sun Wukong within the Battle God Mountain. After walking for a while, seeing Sun Wukong looking as calm as if nothing had happened, Yuan Long finally couldn’t help but ask.
The words Sun Wukong said to Toxic General Yuan Du before leaving were very light, but Divine General Yuan Long, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, still heard them. He had long seen through Yuan Du’s poison body plight but never said anything because he knew it was useless to speak.
Toxic General Yuan Du’s poison body was already beyond hope. Divine General Yuan Long had no confidence in being able to help Yuan Du at all, so what use would it have been to mention it?
Precisely because of this, hearing Sun Wukong say he could help Toxic General Yuan Du solve the poison body plight made Divine General Yuan Long as curious as a cat being scratched. He was truly too curious. Even the Battle God Monkey Emperor couldn’t solve the problem, so what method did Sun Wukong have?
What does he rely on?
"Of course, it can be resolved; it’s not a difficult matter."
Sun Wukong said lightly, "But I, Sun, won’t just do it easily, unless that Yuan Du can really swallow his pride and kowtow a thousand times in front of my door!"
"That’s not the question. What I want to know is, Wukong, exactly what method do you have to solve Yuan Du’s poison body plight?"
A true powerhouse can endure and adapt, bearing what others cannot bear. This is not submission; the true Divine Dragon can soar the Nine Heavens or dive deeply into the abyss. To yield to a stronger figure who can assist oneself is to travel further!
Divine General Yuan Long believes that Toxic General Yuan Du has such courage, able to endure what others cannot; otherwise, he would not have chosen the path of poison cultivation!
The only thing Divine General Yuan Long was curious about is the means by which Sun Wukong intends to help Toxic General Yuan Du remove the deeply ingrained poison, nearly into his bones?
"Well, I, Sun, naturally have my methods! We’ll talk about it once it’s successful; whether that guy is willing is another matter!"
A mysterious light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, not directly answering Divine General Yuan Long’s question. He possesses the Chaos Battle Body, containing Chaos Primordial Qi and mastering Chaos Fire, which is one of his biggest trump cards. Except for a few like Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, not many know about this, at most considering him as merely having a Chaos Body.
If not a fool or a dullard, one doesn’t go around revealing their trump cards all the time, and Sun Wukong is neither a fool nor dullard, so he won’t do such stupid things!
Some things, doing them is enough; there’s no need to say more. Leaving some mysteries and doubts for others may not be a bad thing.
Seeing Sun Wukong unwilling to say more, Divine General Yuan Long didn’t press further, as long as Sun Wukong truly has the confidence to cure Toxic General Yuan Du; it’s a great thing for the entire Battle God Ape Clan, isn’t it?
After a brief stroll without encountering any provocations, Sun Wukong’s performance on the Battle God Platform had already spread like a storm throughout the Battle God Ape Clan. Besides the other three War Generals among the Four Warriors, Wrath General Yuan Fen, Fire General Yuan Tong, and Cold General Yuan Bing, others definitely didn’t have the courage or confidence to challenge Sun Wukong.
Unfortunately, the three were currently roaming within the Battle God Peak in the Battle God Mountain and hadn’t returned yet, so even if they wanted to challenge, it would probably take a month or two.
No one came to provoke, so Sun Wukong felt a bit bored, ending his stroll hastily and returning to his residence in the Battle God Mountain.
"Brother Yuan, it’s time for you to leave!"
When Sun Wukong returned to his residence wanting some solitude, Divine General Yuan Long, like he had sworn to follow him, was lazily settled in Sun Wukong’s residence chair, showing no intention of leaving. Sun Wukong hinted several times, but seeing Yuan Long continuously feigning ignorance, Sun Wukong had to speak directly.
"Leave? No, no, the Divine General is in no hurry!"
Divine General Yuan Long smiled and waved his hand leisurely.
Rubbish, of course, you’re in no hurry! If you’re not in a hurry, Sun is!
Sun Wukong’s face darkened, staring displeasedly at Divine General Yuan Long, but Yuan Long, as if truly blind, continued munching fruits and sipping wine, completely ignoring Sun Wukong’s glaring.
This place was originally allocated by Divine General Yuan Long to Sun Wukong, so naturally, Sun Wukong couldn’t really put on a stern face and forcibly drive Divine General Yuan Long away; he could only swallow his dissatisfaction and started meditating.
Time passed like this slowly, the sun setting and the night falling.
Divine General Yuan Long occasionally glanced outside, waiting for Toxic General Yuan Du to come ask Sun Wukong for help, yet as night deepened, there was no sign of Yuan Du.
"Bastard! Truly hopeless!"
Anger slowly rose from within Divine General Yuan Long’s heart; he was very disappointed in Toxic General Yuan Du, as such a chance to break free from his shackles and open a new world was placed before Yuan Du, yet he didn’t cherish it!
Sorrowful for his misfortune, angry at his lack of effort!
Finally, Divine General Yuan Long’s patience reached its limit, and he abruptly stood up, cupping his hands to the meditating Sun Wukong: "Wukong, it’s getting late, you should rest; this general is leaving!"
He took a step towards the outside, but suddenly stopped. Outside Sun Wukong’s residence, the figure of Toxic General Yuan Du emerged from the shadows of the night. With a trace of hesitation, he came to the door, looking at Sun Wukong’s residence with a complex expression. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly knelt heavily on the ground and began to kowtow repeatedly towards Sun Wukong’s residence.
