Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing,"

Ao Yun stood up and said, "Now that Your Majesty has been bestowed the title of Eastern Leisurely Spirit King by the celestial court, we can expedite the drafting of the trade agreement with the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea, and we must plan relevant regulations. Both parties must sign for there to be something to rely on."

This was because Ao Yun's father had been urging him, hoping to establish trade with Huaguo Mountain, and even wanted to send his dragon descendants to study at the Three Lives Book City.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Three Lives Book City was not yet open, his brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces would have already been sent there.

To put his father's mind at ease, Ao Yun had to seize this opportunity to bring up the matter.

Taking the agreement document that Ao Yun handed over, he scrutinized it carefully, and found a clause: Whether it is Huaguo Mountain trading with the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea or vice versa, the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea must provide Huaguo Mountain with one percent profit.

Are you really Ao Guang's own daughter?

Is it so unfair?

Sun Wukong shook his head secretly and said, "This clause needs to be changed; we can't let the Dragon Palace be the only provider, it's too overbearing."

Ao Yun frowned and said, "In the future, trade will primarily use our Huaguo Mountain's Eternal Coins and Heavenly Dao Coins. Asking the Dragon Palace for one percent profit is already the least I've considered."

You should know that in Nanshan Continent, when countries trade with each other, those royalties and nobles demand not just one percent, but rather three to four parts or even seven to eight parts per ten.

Each country's demands are different, mainly depending on the mood of their rulers.

She thought that since the Dragon Palace was her own family, she could ask for less, and she expected her brother might criticize her for neglecting the family's interests, but she didn't expect him to think she was being too overbearing?

Is one percent too much?

Perhaps one thousandth then?

Sun Wukong said, "Although the Eternal Coins and Heavenly Dao Coins are issued by Huaguo Mountain, we don't lack these profits. Wherever we trade, we should pay taxes to them; it must be fair."

It was then that Ao Yun understood and said, "I see."

"Anything else? If not, you may leave. Everyone, back to your duties," said Sun Wukong to the crowd.

The demons dispersed without objection, except for the Fox King who stayed and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do about the Jiao Demon King?"

Sun Wukong chuckled, "Isn't he married into your family?"

Helplessly, the Fox King said, "Your Majesty, please don't joke. The Jiao Demon King has been battling for nearly six days and is about to wake up. If he goes berserk, it would be easy for Your Majesty to subdue him, but it could damage Huaguo Mountain considerably..."

Before he could finish, the Fox King's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he gestured to his throat, his voice chilling, "Your Majesty, should I take his soul to the netherworld before he returns?"

Ao Yun agreed, "That's a good idea."

Sun Wukong sighed, "Don't think of solving problems with force. If word gets out, wouldn't Huaguo Mountain be seen as a den of murdering bandits?"

"Go back, I have my plans."

"Yes!" said the Fox King as he left.

"Here you go, Your Majesty," Ao Yun, pulling out a hair from her bosom, said, "When Your Majesty left, I asked for a hair to use against that Jiao Demon, but unfortunately, it's not needed now since he hasn't emerged."

Sun Wukong said, "You keep it. The hairs on my body, pluck one and two grow back; they have already regrown. Besides, for ordinary immortals, my hairs are treasures hard to come by."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Wukong's hair, which could transform, was fashioned by Ao Yun into a gold and jade hairpin that she wore in her hair, carrying it with her wherever she went...

...

Outside the Shuilian Cave in Huaguo Mountain.

A yellow-haired monkey landed on the treetop, used the Invisibility Skill and hid itself, its twelve ears moving slightly, picking up information from Huaguo Mountain.

"Sun Wukong has been ennobled as the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King by the celestial court?"

In fact, he didn't need to use his Divine Skills, as the news had already spread throughout Huaguo Mountain by the various Demon Kings; a brief inquiry would reveal as much.

The six-eared macaque became increasingly jealous.

Being from the same monkey lineage, why are you so extraordinary?

He truly envied him!

However, he heard even more interesting news than Sun Wukong's—about the Jiao Demon King and a rather bizarre fox getting married, and the Jiao Demon King being the one to marry into the fox's family.

"Tsk tsk, the fame of the Jiao Demon King will probably be ruined forever now."

"Heh heh...ahahaha!"

The six-eared macaque laughed heartily, tears streaming down its face.

"However, it seems that fox charm might possess replenishing arts, and Sun Wukong also harbors intentions to kill the Jiao Demon King—this is a trap."

Although the six-eared macaque could not hear the sounds inside the Shuilian Cave, once inside Huaguo Mountain, it could hear most of the sounds within, naturally allowing it to deduce the current state of the Jiao Demon King.

"Pity the great Demon King of Northern Jambu Continent, willing to degrade himself to become an immortal, only to meet such a fate. Truly, it is sad."

The six-eared macaque mourned in advance for the Jiao Demon King and had no intention of causing trouble.

He had taken a liking to this place and would be distressed should the Jiao Demon cause damage in his madness.

As for how to take over the place?

Simple, he was utterly confident in his Metamorphosis Skill; even the heavenly gods and Buddha could not detect it. By transforming into Sun Wukong's likeness, couldn't he simply replace him?

Then, not only would he gain the desired status, but he would also own the name "Sun Wukong," rather than being just another monster known as "six-eared macaque."

Assuming another's identity, gaining everything they own; what harm could there be in that?

However, before transforming, he needed to thoroughly investigate Sun Wukong's strengths and habits. If possible, he had no desire to confront Sun Wukong directly.

A being who could use Bull Demon King as a mount should certainly not be underestimated.

If he could strike stealthily, he would never choose a direct confrontation!

"But if he can't find the opportunity to take action, what should he do?"

The Six-Eared Macaque thought about this problem and instantly scratched his head in frustration, jealousy rising from the bottom of his heart. He muttered to himself, "If I can't find the opportunity, I still have to transform into this Sun Wukong's appearance, borrowing his name to ruin his reputation."

Being of the same monkey stock, if he couldn't achieve ultimate success, then neither should anyone else!

The jealousy-ridden Six-Eared Macaque covered his four ears on the sides, leaving only two visible, making himself look somewhat normal. He jumped down from the tree and headed towards the White Jade Bridge.

Clang! Sourced directly from MV6LEMP6YR.

Two long halberds crossed, and the two monkey guards in silver armor standing in front of the White Jade Bridge called out, "Idle monkey folk, you are not allowed to enter Shuilian Cave!"

Six-Eared Macaque: "..."

One monkey guard asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

The Six-Eared Macaque said cheerfully, "I am the son of the brother of the uncle of the daughter of the second nephew of Sun Dajia from North Village, have you forgotten?"

The monkey guard's eyes were sharp, and he shouted, "Don't try to deceive me, the son of the brother of the uncle of the daughter of the second nephew of Sun Dajia from North Village is only three years old, how could you be as old as you are?"

"Who are you, really?"

"Admit it, are you a wild monkey who sneaked over from another island?"

"That's not right, outside Huaguo Mountain, there is a city wall, ordinary wild monkeys simply cannot get in, you must be a demon!"

The Six-Eared Macaque cursed and said, "Aren't you also demons?"

The monkey guard sternly said, "We do not eat or harm humans; we are the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, not foul-smelling demons like you. Tell us, where are you from?"

"Are you a well-behaved demon?"

"Or just a wandering demon?"

The Six-Eared Macaque whipped up a fierce wind, not wanting to engage in conversation with these monkey guards, and ascended into the sky.

"Truly just a passing wild demon monkey!"

The monkey guard adjusted his helmet, spat a few times, and cursed.

Another monkey guard said, "This wild demon monkey is really bold, daring to make trouble at Huaguo Mountain, and even coming to Shuilian Cave, really looking for trouble."

"Did you record his appearance?"

"I did."

"Pass this information to Marshal Sun Ma, and let him handle it."

However, the Six-Eared Macaque had not fully left; he circled back midway just to get out of the monkey guards' sight.

He deployed the Invisibility Skill, went directly to the pavilion in front of the entrance of Shuilian Cave, and looked at the majestic pavilion, admiringly saying, "Indeed imposing."

Just as he was about to enter Shuilian Cave, the two stone lions in front of the pavilion spoke.

Shi Wu said, "Who's there?"

Stone ear said, "Putting on airs and playing tricks!"

"Hmm?"

The Six-Eared Macaque lightly exclaimed in surprise, but dismissed them, attempting to pass the two stone lions. However, beams of spiritual light emerged from the eyes and ears of the stone lions respectively.

The surrounding spiritual energy gathered, condensing into a pair of eyes and a pair of large ears.

Firmly erecting themselves afterward, two ethereal lions blocked the Six-Eared Macaque's path.

As the spiritual energy fluctuated, the spell of the Six-Eared Macaque failed, and his true form was revealed.

"So it is just a monkey?"

"With a body full of filth."

"Certainly a foreign monkey."

"Must have eaten quite a few humans."

Using a Metamorphosis Spell to attain transformed bodies, Shi Wu and Stone ear, singing in chorus, stared intently at the Six-Eared Macaque and together shouted, "You demon, daring to run rampant in Huaguo Mountain, kneel down now, and perhaps you may be spared!"

The Six-Eared Macaque chortled coldly, taking out his compliant iron staff and attacking Shi Wu and Stone ear.

These two stone lions were indeed vexing.

He changed his mind, deciding to break into Shuilian Cave to evaluate its interior. Even though he couldn't defeat Sun Wukong, his Cloud Soaring Skill was extremely fast, making escape no problem.

"How audacious!"

Shi Wu's eyes bulged with anger; Stone ear's ears trembled.

The brothers, united at heart, each took out a strand of hair, transforming them into two gleaming maces, one heavy and one light, and struck at the head of the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque easily blocked their mace attacks with his compliant iron staff.

"Heh, with such meager mana, you dare try to strike your elder?"

No sooner had he taunted them than the maces suddenly grew three times heavier, pressing down towards the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Such boastfulness!"

Shi Wu's eyes widened, his expression fierce as he exerted even greater strength.

Stone ear did the same.

They both felt an overwhelming surge of strength, their mana raging, certainly enough to take down the intruding demon before them!

The Six-Eared Macaque immediately felt an immense pressure, baffled by their puzzling surge in power.

"These two were very weak just now, only the Metamorphosis Skill was somewhat profound. Why do they suddenly have such vigor now?"
