Fahai hesitated and wanted to go guard the exit of the Demon Realm.
Sun Wukong glanced at him and said directly, "No need to say more, you’re not allowed to go to the Demon Realm’s exit, Old Sun worries that with your nature, once you get there, you’ll shout ’Mighty Heavenly Dragon’ and charge straight in."
Fahai chuckled dryly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Am I that reckless?"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes.
This guy, whenever he sees demons, never knows how to write the word ’death’.
The first time I saw him, he was already fighting with the three old Demon Heads at Lion Camel Ridge, truly fearless of death.
The second time I saw him was when he rushed into the lair of the Ox Demon King and attacked the group of demons under him.
If it weren’t for encountering me on both occasions, Fahai’s grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now.
Sending someone like him to guard the exit to the Demon Realm, if he could restrain himself, that would really be strange.
It’s not that he isn’t afraid of death, but being fearless doesn’t mean he won’t die.
Fahai scratched his bald head and chuckled awkwardly.
He also knew that what Sun Wukong said was mostly true.
Great Emperor Ziwei also glanced at Fahai with interest, smiling and said, "I know about him, he’s quite famous and widely known among the folk."
Sun Wukong asked in surprise.
"The untold tale of Fahai and two female Snake Demonesses."
Sun Wukong was surprised.
Having been imprisoned for thousands of years, he naturally didn’t know the later stories.
"Yes, one of the Snake Demonesses was a disciple of Lady of Mount Li, this guy harassed her relentlessly back then and even got her involved in a terrible disaster," Ziwei Great Emperor said, laughing.
Sun Wukong was astonished. Was this monk so formidable?
Harassing a Female Demon relentlessly, he hadn’t expected Fahai to have this side.
"Great Emperor jests, I was merely catching demons," Fahai said with a wry smile.
He knew the Great Emperor Ziwei was teasing him on purpose.
Just then, a timid voice came from nearby.
"Can I say something?"
Truth Listening wore a frustrated expression.
Only then did everyone turn their gaze toward Truth Listening.
Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Truth Listening shrank its neck.
Then, Truth Listening said, "I don’t want to go."
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and turned to ask Great Emperor Ziwei, "Great Emperor, there are three types of meat in this world considered delicacies, do you know them all?"
Great Emperor Ziwei immediately became interested.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Dragon meat from the skies, donkey meat from the earth, and fragrant meat from among humans."
"What is this fragrant meat?"
Having eaten dragon and donkey meat, Great Emperor Ziwei of course knew of them.
But what fragrant meat was, he did not know.
"It’s dog meat, incredibly delicious, the common folks call it fragrant meat," Sun Wukong said, his eyes constantly darting towards Truth Listening.
Previously, Truth Listening didn’t understand, but sensing Sun Wukong’s gaze, it suddenly got the hint and shuddered.
Great Emperor Ziwei, now intrigued, asked with a smile, "Then tell me, what are the ways to prepare this fragrant meat?"
Sun Wukong replied with a slight smile, "Actually, there are many ways to cook it, such as braised fragrant meat, which gets more flavorful the longer you cook it, and crispy skin fragrant meat. Since the dog spirits after becoming enlightened have no impurities and no fishy smell, they can be considered top-grade ingredients. This kind can be prepared as sliced fragrant meat or cumin fragrant meat. As long as you have enough fragrant meat, any flavor can be achieved."
Great Emperor Ziwei laughed, "Ordinary ingredients certainly don’t appeal to me."
Sun Wukong looked at Truth Listening and said smilingly, "You can rest assured that there will definitely be top-notch ingredients, and not only that, but in ample quantity as well. Any flavor you wish can be made."
Great Emperor Ziwei laughed, "Then I’m really looking forward to it."
Sun Wukong eyed Truth Listening with ill intent.
Truth Listening could no longer bear it and almost urinated.
Seeing Sun Wukong staring at him, Truth Listening quickly said, "Great Saint, you’ve misunderstood. I’m quite willing to go to the Demon Realm’s exit, to contribute to guarding the Three Realms."
Seeing it agree, Sun Wukong then sneered, "You sly thing. If I don’t scare you a bit, you just don’t listen."
Truth Listening gave a bitter smile. That wasn’t just a scare; you almost ate it.
If it didn’t agree, Truth Listening felt it might not survive.
This rebellious Great Sage, in a fit of pique, might stew it, which wouldn’t be strange at all.
"Take it with me to the Heavenly Court. Also, let Taiyi Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate keep an eye on it, don’t let this guy slip away halfway," Sun Wukong said.
He looked at Truth Listening and threatened, "You can also run, but if I catch you again, I’ll invite Ksitigarbha to join us for the fragrant meat."
Truth Listening looked dejected, having originally wanted to go to Huaguo Mountain and live a quiet life, avoiding all this trouble.
With Sun Wukong’s words, it had no chance of hiding anymore.
"I understand, Great Saint. You can rest assured, whatever Truth Listening promises, it will definitely accomplish," it said.
Seeing Truth Listening say this, Sun Wukong’s face looked a bit more pleased.
He glanced at Great Emperor Ziwei and said, "You also keep an eye on Zhu Long’s whereabouts. He is also an unpredictable factor and must be subdued. No matter how great his achievements, if he does not repent, he must also be killed."
Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed sharply.
"Don’t worry, I know what to do," Great Emperor Ziwei said with a slight nod, his eyes glinting with understanding.
Then, Great Emperor Ziwei left with a lamentingly looking Truth Listening.
