The Ancestral Dragon sighed, "After all, even a Supreme would not want an enemy like the Great Sage."
"Really? I’m quite honored then."
Sun Wukong was somewhat indifferent.
He was merely a Sub-Paramount combatant; if it weren’t for the Heavenly Court standing behind him, why would the Supremes be wary of him?
Sun Wukong never underestimated himself, but neither did he overestimate his own abilities.
He was always very clear about his understanding of himself and others.
Seeing Sun Wukong’s indifference, the Ancestral Dragon merely smiled faintly, saying nothing more.
Speaking any further would seem like flattering.
Sun Wukong’s understanding of himself was still not quite clear; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said what he did just now.
Though he wasn’t a Supreme, in the eyes of the Supremes, Sun Wukong was definitely someone who stood on equal footing with them.
No Supreme would dare to underestimate Sun Wukong.
Including the Ancestral Dragon himself.
While thoughts whirled in his mind, the Ancestral Dragon’s expression remained unchanged.
"Well then, since the matter is settled, it’s time for Old Sun to take his leave. Bodhisattva Guanyin, take care. If anything happens, come find Old Sun immediately. I’ve said before, I won’t let anyone bully the Bodhisattva."
Sun Wukong said in a solemn tone.
Bodhisattva Guanyin nodded slightly, her smile showing she naturally believed Sun Wukong’s words.
Indeed, this time, it was all thanks to Sun Wukong; without him, she might have been in real danger.
Her recently increased strength gave Bodhisattva Guanyin full confidence, but she didn’t entirely realize that the world now was different from before.
Supremes roamed the world, and Sub-Paramounts were not rare; Great Heavenly Venerates were not uncommon, merely top-notch experts in the world.
The true top-level strong ones were those Sub-Paramounts and Supremes.
Even if she became a Sub-Paramount, she wouldn’t dare claim dominance over the world.
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on the Ancestral Dragon, and he spoke, "Ancestral Dragon, Bodhisattva Guanyin is an old, close friend of mine. Since she resides above the South Sea, take care of her. Don’t act like nothing happened. Before your revival, the Dragon Clan received many favors because of the Bodhisattva."
The Lady Dragon of Wealth was Bodhisattva Guanyin’s disciple, and with the Bodhisattva as her master.
At that time, the Dragon Clan kept a low profile, but thanks to the Bodhisattva, some immortals didn’t dare to excessively bully the Dragon Clan.
Bodhisattva Guanyin had done them a favor, and if something happened within the Dragon Clan’s territory, it wouldn’t reflect well on them.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Ancestral Dragon understood Sun Wukong was expressing his discontent.
He smiled and nodded, "Of course, the Dragon Clan is genuinely grateful to the Bodhisattva. Even without your reminder, I wouldn’t let anything happen to her in the Dragon Clan’s territory."
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon speak this way, Sun Wukong finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Let’s go back, Bodhisattva. Do visit Huaguo Mountain when you have the time."
Sun Wukong stood up, ready to leave.
A wistful glance fell on him. Even without looking, he knew who it was.
Sun Wukong’s expression remained unchanged. He took a few steps forward, then turned around, slapped his forehead, and laughed, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot. Dragon Girl, do you have time now? Fan Yao and He Xiangu said they miss you and want to invite you to Huaguo Mountain as a guest. Would you like to go?"
The Dragon Girl was momentarily stunned. She glanced at the Bodhisattva.
Going to Huaguo Mountain was a pleasant prospect, but since it wasn’t Sun Wukong inviting her directly, she didn’t seem very happy.
If Sun Wukong had invited her, even at the risk of being laughed at, she would have eagerly agreed.
Seeing the Dragon Girl hesitate, even considering refusal.
Nu Ba found herself both amused and exasperated. How could the Dragon Girl be so naive?
Fan Yao and He Xiangu missing her was clearly a story made up by the Great Sage.
The one who truly wanted to invite the Dragon Girl to Huaguo Mountain was Sun Wukong himself.
But naturally, Sun Wukong couldn’t issue the invitation himself; he would feel embarrassed.
That’s why he said it was Fan Yao and He Xiangu who invited the Dragon Girl.
Everyone could see this, except the Dragon Girl herself.
The Ox Demon King smirked and said irritably, "Seventh Brother, if you miss Dragon Girl, just say so directly. What’s all this about Fan Yao and He Xiangu missing her? When I went to Huaguo Mountain earlier, I didn’t see Fan Yao or He Xiangu at all."
Once he said that, Lady Dragon of Wealth’s eyes lit up.
She looked at Sun Wukong with a burning gaze.
If what the Ox Demon King said was true, wouldn’t that mean Sun Wukong invited her himself?
This meant he wanted her to accompany him.
Thinking this, Lady Dragon of Wealth’s heart was instantly filled with joy.
Being called out by the Ox Demon King, Sun Wukong felt a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "That was something Fan Yao and He Xiangu discussed with me previously. Old Sun just forgot and only remembered it now. Old Ox, stop spouting nonsense. Dragon Girl, please get ready to go to Huaguo Mountain with Old Sun."
Lady Dragon of Wealth glanced at the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Bodhisattva Guanyin showed a kind smile, nodded, and said, "Since the Great Sage has invited you, go with him. I have already entrusted you to the Great Sage, and you are considered his person now. Huaguo Mountain is your home. Following me all the time is truly not ideal."
Lady Dragon of Wealth’s face turned red, but she was more flustered, thinking the Bodhisattva didn’t want her anymore. She was worried that her own behavior had angered the Bodhisattva.
To her, Mount Luojia was her home. If the Bodhisattva didn’t want her, she would be like a rootless duckweed.
