Chapter 366 Zhilan
Chapter 366 Zhilan
"Woman? What woman..." Lin Liuyi wanted to ask what was going on, how could Monkey King be seeing other women behind Daiyu's back!
Before he could finish speaking, he was teleported back by the system.
"Fa Cai, you're in such a hurry! Hey, I need to quickly video call Monkey King and ask what's going on!" Lin Liuyi didn't even care that he was still dizzy after returning, and immediately went to connect with Monkey King.
The video call connected quickly, and Monkey King's helpless face appeared on the screen.
Lin Liuyi asked anxiously, "Great Sage, what's wrong with the woman?"
Wukong looked at Lin Liuyi's face, which was full of reproach as if to say, "How could you cheat on Daiyu with another woman?" He felt helpless.
He quickly and patiently explained, "I didn't do anything. This woman is a celestial attendant I met when I was working in the Imperial Stables in Heaven!"
A former colleague? Why didn't she see this person when she read Journey to the West?
But the most urgent question is what this woman is here for?
"What are you doing? Trying to curry favor, huh? I'm the Victorious Fighting Buddha now!" Wukong said disdainfully.
He's a monkey, not a fool. When he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was hunted down by the Heavenly Court, this woman didn't show up. He was imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years, and this woman never even visited him once. Not to mention later on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, through rain, snow, and wind, this woman never showed her face.
Now that he has retired successfully and become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, he's trying to curry favor with us.
This woman had come to Flower Fruit Mountain several times before, but Monkey King had never seen her. It just so happened that Lin Liuyi ran into her this time.
To prevent Lin Liuyi from saying anything inappropriate to Daiyu, Monkey decided to meet the maid named Zhilan.
"Go, bring that woman here!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Lin Liuyi was also curious; someone actually tried to poach Monkey King, and they had pretty good taste.
Lin Liuyi then saw a fairy dressed in purple walking over with the old monkey.
When Lin Liuyi saw the purple dress, his heart tightened: My God, could it be Fairy Zixia?
Then she shook her head. Impossible. Even if this is Fairy Zixia, Monkey King wouldn't be Supreme Treasure!
"Fairy Zhilan, what brings you to my Flower Fruit Mountain? Surely the Jade Emperor sent you to deliver a decree?" Monkey King's attitude wasn't good; it was all this woman's fault that he now had to explain.
What if he said something to Daiyu on Children's Day? Wouldn't Daiyu, with her temperament, sulk?
Monkey King figured that he should take the initiative to tell Daiyu about this after it was over, otherwise if Lin Liu accidentally let it slip, Daiyu would definitely overthink it.
He wanted to eliminate all uncertainties, and thinking of this, Monkey King's face turned even uglier.
Fairy Zhilan bowed gracefully and said sweetly, "Great Sage, you flatter me. How could I possibly deliver the Jade Emperor's decree? I have come here today to let you taste the pastries I made myself."
Lin Liuyi listened from the side, thinking to himself, "This is a bit of flattery."
Monkey King sneered, "Pastries? I don't recall our relationship being that close. Fairy Zhilan, you should save the pastries for someone else!"
Fairy Zhilan blushed, but still refused to give up. She stepped forward and said, "Great Sage, I had no choice back then. My position in the Heavenly Court was low, and I couldn't help much. Great Sage, you can't ignore me because of these things."
"Hmph, fine, even if you're of lowly rank and didn't dare to stand up when the Heavenly Court was chasing me, did you even come to see me once when I was imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years?"
"me..."
"Don't tell me you didn't have time. That was five hundred years! Even a child in the mortal world would pick a peach for me to eat, but you didn't show up even once. If you had just given me a cake back then, I would consider you my friend today."
Zhilan was speechless under Monkey's questioning.
She had considered going to see Sun Wukong, but she was ultimately afraid that it would affect her.
She had finally managed to cultivate herself from a plant to an immortal, and she didn't want to be banished to the mortal realm, so she had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened.
Who could have imagined that this stone monkey would have such great fortune, and later become the Victorious Fighting Buddha?
Now, not only the Heavenly Court, but even the Western Paradise gives this monkey some face.
Over the years, Zhilan has been scheming in the Heavenly Court, but unfortunately she has neither money nor any precious plants, and her cultivation strength is also average.
After all this time, I've only managed to rise from a low-level celestial servant to a mid-level celestial servant in the Heavenly Court. The road ahead is still long.
If one relies on the Victorious Fighting Buddha, then things will be different.
With the monkey's influence, she could at least be promoted to a high-ranking celestial attendant, if not run rampant in the Heavenly Court.
So this was Zhilan's true intention, but she underestimated Wukong.
Monkey King wasn't stupid. Since Zhilan was that kind of person, why let her cling to him? What if she might stab him in the back at any time?
Although Zhilan was told this by Monkey King, she still didn't want to give up. After all, as long as she could build a good relationship with Monkey King, it would be a golden road to success.
Her eyes flickered, then she suddenly knelt down, crying out, "Great Sage, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time, you are so magnanimous! I know I was wrong, but I was too weak, and I was afraid. You are the Great Sage, please don't hold a lowly fairy like me against you. If you forgive me, I will follow you to the death this time!"
As Zhilan spoke, she actually began to express her loyalty.
Lin Liuyi frowned as he watched from the side; this was moral blackmail.
Monkey King frowned, but he believed the man's words.
Besides, he was already planning to go find Daiyu, so what was the point of having Zhilan follow him to the death?
"You don't need to say anything more. I have nothing here for you to follow. Go, and don't come to Flower Fruit Mountain again. Otherwise, I won't be so nice next time!"
Hearing Wukong's firm refusal, Zhilan was disappointed, but still couldn't help but make a request: "Great Sage, could you put in a good word for me with my immortal? You don't need to do anything, just mention it to me!"
Wukong was so angry he almost laughed. He had never seen such a shameless person. Had he been the Victorious Fighting Buddha for too long that people had forgotten his true nature? Who dared to come here and make demands?
"Get lost!" Wukong didn't bother to say another word. There was no point in talking to such an opportunist.
He slapped her out of Flower Fruit Mountain and told his monkey followers that if they ever saw this woman again, they should beat her out.
Lin Liuyi was speechless. She had thought this woman was Daiyu's rival in love, but it turned out that she didn't even like this woman, let alone the Great Sage.
She thought the other party was so clever, but it turned out they couldn't handle the Great Sage and resorted to moral blackmail, making unreasonable demands. It's truly speechless.
