Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

The Monkey King thought to himself, "Why would the Jiao Demon do such a thing?"

Recalling the scenes of Huaguo Mountain he had seen along the way, he seemed to understand.

Huaguo Mountain, where the spirit of nature is exceptional.

The Monkey King, with his transcendental aura, founded a nation. Though there were many rules, humans and demons lived in harmony — this was the fruit of the Monkey King's moral teachings.

That is to say!

This Monkey King has the potential to be ranked among the immortals!

The Monkey King, intelligent and quick-witted, suddenly saw the light.

Gathering a group of demons at the Northern Jambu Continent and fighting against True Warrior to seek amnesty always entails some risks. If the Heavenly Court fights them to death, wouldn't they end up in the Underworld?

Compared to that, Huaguo Mountain is much more peaceful.

Apart from the Monkey King, the Yurong King, the Lion Camel King, and the Peng Demon King had also come to realize this.

Although they despised the Jiao Demon King, they wished they could replace him.

However, there is only one Ao Yun, and if they all compete for him, they might end up fighting amongst themselves, which could be exactly what the Monkey King wants.

If a real fight breaks out, it would be more loss than gain.

Not only will the gifts they sent not be returned, but they will also risk their lives.

In such a case, it would be better to concede to the Jiao Demon King and cultivate a good relationship with him later.

If one day the Jiao Demon King really ascends to Heaven because of the Monkey King, the four of them could also have some mutual support.

If the Jiao Demon King ascends, they would also have a way in.

Right now, they have no way into Heaven and no path to the West.

As demons, used to slaughter, they naturally do not want to perform good deeds, but prefer to gather in the mountains and forests, living freely and joyfully.

Isn't that the sweet life?

Accumulate merit to become an immortal?

Pah!

Reliance on connections is still more economical.

In these Three Realms, what ultimately counts is the social relationships and etiquette!

The four demons discussed it over and felt that the Jiao Demon King's actions could leave them a way out, and their gazes gradually softened.

Wasn't it just a matter of who gets the son-in-law position?

Although the four demons were not sworn brothers with the Jiao Demon King, they shared bonds of meat and wine, and they were convinced that the Jiao Demon King would not kick them to the curb in the future.

Hiss—

Don't tell me there's actually a chance of that happening!

The affection between demons is just like a fart; when it's needed, they'll let one go; when it's not, they'll kick away without a second thought, and may even cut ties for fear the other could hinder their interests. This happens all too often!

Take the Bull Demon King as an example, he's the shrewd type.

While interacting with all the great demon kings, it's just a camaraderie of meat and wine. If you really need help with fighting and conflict, unless it's detrimental to the interests of the Bull Demon King himself, he won't lift a finger.

Before being subdued by Sun Wukong as a mount, who knows how many times they tried to enlist him?

But every time, it ended with just food and drink.

Working together?

Not even mentioned!

The four great demon kings exchanged excited glances, passing their thoughts among themselves.

They just looked scary, opening their mouths only slightly, as if they were breathing, not like they were using body language to communicate.

"We must guard against this Jiao Demon King!"

"Exactly!"

"After the matters here are settled, we'll have a talk with the Jiao Demon King!"

"It's only appropriate!"

No mention of the petty thoughts of the four demon kings.

Sun Wukong, opening his golden eyes wide, surveyed the somewhat nervous Jiao Demon King with a half-smile and slowly said, "You wish to become a son-in-law of Huaguo Mountain?"

The performance of the Jiao Demon here was different from that in the simulator.

Perhaps it's because the simulated self was nothing like the current frame of mind and, upon seeing the Jiao Demon's bloody and turbid aura, simply killed him with a strike of his staff.

However, the current behavior of the Jiao Demon King was very "clever."

Become a son-in-law?

He'd really thought of everything!

But on second thought, the Jiao Demon King was the illegitimate son of the North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun; he should know some insider information about the rules of the Heavenly Court. It may not be much, but enough to make a judgment.

For this reason, the Jiao Demon King wanted to join the Heavenly Court.

Compared to the "amnesty" plan with the other four great demons, the Jiao Demon King valued Huaguo Mountain even more.

Putting aside that this place is the source of ten continents and the birthplace of three islands, a peerless blessed land.

Just the current city was enough to make the Jiao Demon King covet.

If the amnesty plan fails, it would result in death and obliteration; Huaguo Mountain, while perhaps requiring more time, is safer.

This was the Jiao Demon King's contingency plan.

Yet, this is ultimately not the right path, but a deviant practice.

The true achievement.

It's not just about being a god in the Heavenly Court or an Arhat or Bodhisattva on Spirit Mountain; it also requires some cultivation. Otherwise, one will be but a rootless presence.

Who knows when a mistake might be made, leading to demotion back to the mortal world, or in severe cases, being taken to the execution platform, beheaded, and not having control over one's life or death.

For a demon king who doesn't cultivate or accumulate merits, even being granted amnesty is like jumping into a tiger's mouth.

If obedient, one might live on.

If harboring ill intentions, one would be executed on the spot.

However, according to the rules of the Heavenly Court, if there is to be amnesty, it would be for someone like him, a demon immortal with a pure aura; not for bloodthirsty and corrupt demons.

Unfortunately, the Jiao Demon King was not aware of this.

When the Jiao Demon King heard Sun Wukong ask, he immediately responded, "Indeed!"

In his mind, since Sun Wukong had asked, he presumably did not want to fight them.

Then the chances of success for this matter were very high.

Ao Yun!

You feisty little woman!

You will surely not escape my grasp!

"If so, who do you wish to marry into? Is it Huaguo Mountain's number one beauty?" Sun Wukong turned to glance at Ao Yun and asked the Jiao Demon King, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

"Indeed!"

The Jiao Demon King was elated. My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.

The number one beauty of Huaguo Mountain — isn't that Ao Yun?

This matter is as good as settled!

Inside the hall, the mysterious looks exchanged between the demons, Marshal Ma Liu and the Bengba Two Generals, were rather strange.

They had not expected the Demon King to have such a preference!

The one called "the most beautiful" in Huaguo Mountain was not Ao Yun, but a member of the fox clan from Huaguo Mountain.

However, all the Demon Kings present, including the two bare-backed macaques and the two red-butted horse monkeys, understood that what the Demon King desired was the Second King of Huaguo Mountain—Ao Yun.

But, the King deliberately confused the issue to deceive the Demon King's perception.

Was this a good idea?

It was not.

Yet, the City Lords of the seventy-two Demon King cities found the matter very amusing.

If it succeeded, the Demon King might become the biggest joke in the demon world!

Moreover, the Demon King and the other Demon Kings had come to Huaguo Mountain with such a fierce momentum, it was likely they had ill intentions from the start, perhaps even considering attacking Huaguo Mountain.

In that case, isn't fulfilling the Demon King's wish wonderful?

However, among all the Demon Kings, only the Fox King of Huaguo Mountain looked somewhat uncomfortable.

For most beings, foxes that have transformed into human form are mostly beautiful and charming as fire.

But among different fox spirits, there are unspeakable hardships...

...

"Oh?"

Sun Wukong looked surprised, then glanced at Ao Yun and burst into laughter, "The number one beauty of my Huaguo Mountain is feisty, leaving all the demons in Huaguo Mountain helpless."

"Even many of the Demon Kings of my Huaguo Mountain have been thoroughly subdued by her, with not a trace of temper left."

"Many of the Demon Kings have fallen for her tricks."

"You really are willing to marry?"

Was the Monkey King worried about him?

The Demon King scoffed inwardly, having already witnessed the fierceness of dragon maidens.

But for him, the Demon King, it was nothing.

He had plenty of tricks up his sleeve!

"Of course, I have fallen for the number one beauty at first sight," the Demon King said, staring intently at Ao Yun with a faint smile on his lips.

Love at first sight?

The faces of the Demon Kings of Huaguo Mountain varied, but they all shared the same thought—

It was lust at first sight, wasn't it?

However, Ao Yun remained expressionless throughout.

After all, the title "the most beautiful of Huaguo Mountain" had nothing to do with her.

Her?

She wasn't even second in line.

"Since the Demon King has made up his mind, I, as the King of Huaguo Mountain, should not cut the red thread of marriage tied by the Old Man under the Moon for you two," sighed Sun Wukong.

At the same time, the God of Marriage in Heaven suddenly sneezed.

"What's going on?"

"Sneezing for no reason?"

Unable to figure it out, the Old Man under the Moon did not dwell on it, but as he checked the red threads, he found a barely-there and somewhat eerie marriage thread.

"This is strange; how did a dragon come to be tied to a fox? And this fox..."

The Old Man under the Moon was puzzled, but he still took out his scissors...

A bad match is best severed.

But to his surprise, he found himself unable to sever this marriage thread.

Although the thread seemed elusive, always on the verge of breaking, it couldn't be severed because the relationship it signified hadn't truly ended.

"Forget it, since it can't produce anything of worth, let them be," the Immortal matchmaker shook his head, yet he turned his attention to another vague and indiscernible marriage thread.

This thread appeared golden and carried with it a grand aura, everlasting and indestructible.

The Immortal matchmaker understood that only the existence of a Heavenly Immortal could make a marriage thread so enduring, but he could not pry into such matters and thus did not know who the male party was.

Nevertheless, the female was clear; it was none other than the daughter of the East Sea Dragon King, the dragon princess Ao Yun.

"That Ao Guang surely has a fine daughter, destined to be the companion of a Heavenly Immortal," the Immortal matchmaker sighed, but he could only sigh to himself, for his duty was merely to watch over the various threads of fate, without any need to constantly report to the Jade Emperor.

In fact, the Immortal matchmaker felt that if enough time passed, the other gods might forget he even existed...

...

In Huaguo Mountain, inside Shuilian Cave.

Sun Wukong arranged for the Demon King and the others to rest in the guesthouse, while he turned to the fox king of Huaguo Mountain: "Fox King, what do you think?"

Fox King: "... It's up to Your Majesty's command. If my nephew can attract a great general to Huaguo Mountain, that would be his own ability, otherwise, I had already thought about driving him out of Huaguo Mountain."

"Then let's have him play along in a little performance," Sun Wukong said.

"My Lord, my concern is that my nephew might take the act too seriously," the Fox King said, sweating profusely.

Sun Wukong: "..."

After court was dismissed, the Fox King returned to his city and summoned the Fox Seductress before him, saying, "The Great King has arranged a marriage for you, how do you feel about that?"

The Fox Seductress was stunning, with eyes like phoenix triangles and eyebrows arched like willow leaves. She was slender and moved with a seductive grace.

"Uncle, may I know which hero the Great King has arranged for me?"

Fox King took a deep breath to calm his restlessness, lifted the teacup from the table, took a sip, and said, "Northern Jambu Continent, the Demon King, it is said that he is also the illegitimate son of the North Sea Dragon King?"

"The Demon King!" The Fox Seductress was visibly taken aback, then indifferently said, "Never heard of him."

Fox King was speechless.

If you've never heard of him, why were you so excited just now?

He thought there was no need to waste his breath.

"He is the Demon King of Northern Jambu Continent, with vast Divine Skills and boundless Mana. It's rumored that he even has a thousand-zhang original body," the Fox King slowly explained.

"A thousand zhang?" The Fox Seductress blinked her phoenix eyes, smiled, and said, "Sounds like a fellow who could put in a good day's work... When is the wedding? Do I need to move out of Huaguo Mountain?"

She knew that this uncle had always been displeased with her.

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh

Indeed!

Foxes could not understand each other, what a great sadness that was.

Seeing the Fox Seductress again lapsing into self-pity, pretending to be pitiful, the Fox King took a deep breath and said, "The wedding is tomorrow, and no, you don't have to move; he will marry into our family."

"Tomorrow, that's so sudden?"

The Fox Seductress was shocked but quickly regained her composure, and then said, "Hearing you say that, uncle, it seems this Demon King is quite eager to cling onto Huaguo Mountain's coattails?"

After thinking for a moment, the Fox King slowly nodded: "I suppose so."

"Oh~"

The Fox Seductress understood, there was no need to regard him as a serious contender.

However, the thought of a Demon King being ordered around by her was thrilling!

Meanwhile, within the guesthouse of Shuilian Cave, the five great Demon Kings were discussing the Demon King's upcoming wedding...
