Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Previously, she had not dared to speak to Sun Wukong, but now with his affirmation, her motivation was even greater, feeling that all the little gadgets she had tinkered with were meaningful for the development of Huaguo Mountain, and she resolved to put more effort into this area in the future.

"My Lord, Nezha has arrived,"

At the entrance of the study, Yuyan came running in, and upon reaching Sun Wukong, she whispered in his ear.

"If he's here, he's here; what's with all the secrecy?" Sun Wukong asked.

"I am the Lord's immortal child,"

Yuyan put her hands on her hips, lifted her head, glanced at Ao Yun, and declared nonchalantly, "The message I carry is naturally for the Lord's ears only."

Ao Yun chuckled and said, "I even taught you for a while, why the sudden distance?"

Yuyan humphed proudly, "I have accompanied the Lord to heaven before. In terms of seniority, you may be older, but in terms of status, I..."

Smack!

Sun Wukong tapped Yuyan's head, causing her almost to tear up, and she complained, "My Lord, why did you hit me?"

Sun Wukong said, "Cut out your mischievous temper. With that little mouth of yours, who knows how much trouble you could stir up if you spoke recklessly outside."

Yuyan, feeling wronged, replied, "But I was only telling the truth."

Giving this mischievous little fox a glare, Sun Wukong got up and, together with Ao Yun, left the study room to personally welcome the deity from the Third Lotus Throne Sea Meeting.

"My Lord, Nezha has been brought here,"

Shuisheng bowed respectfully, stepped back slowly, and as Nezha revealed a strange gleam in his eye, he looked at Sun Wukong and then assessed the Dragoness, saying, "Who could have guessed, you monkey's already started a family?"

Ao Yun was bashful, but the flush on her face faded in an instant, and she said, "I am the Second King of Huaguo Mountain, not the elder brother's wife. Crown Prince Nezha jests."

She wished it were so, but alas, the elder brother had no such intent.

Nevertheless, the thought of accompanying her brother day and night was a dream that would make her wake up smiling.

"Really, the Second King, the Dragoness of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea? That old Dragon King certainly has the advantage of proximity,"

Nezha, somewhat sarcastic, then ignored Ao Yun's angry stare and only looked at Sun Wukong, "I've spent some time in Ao Lai Country and have come to understand the basics of Huaguo Mountain. You truly have great talent; no wonder His Majesty bestowed upon you the title of Eastern Leisurely Spirit King."

"Crown Prince Nezha jests. Nature has granted me this body so surely I must do something useful with it," Sun Wukong modestly chuckled, bent over to pat Nezha's head and said with a grin.

Instantly, Nezha's face reddened with embarrassment, anger, and indignation.

Was this Monkey King treating him like a three-year-old by reaching out to pat his head?!

Smack!

Nezha swatted away the Monkey King's hand, feeling a surge of rage, yet he still reined in his temper and spoke loudly, "After spirits of the lower realm awaken their intelligence, most act on instinct, following the law of the survival of the fittest, which often leads them astray, turning into demons or monsters."

"To subdue Huaguo Mountain, surely it was not only through your virtue and wisdom but also indispensable martial prowess, right?"

"Come, why not spar with me and see?"

He had sparred with the celestial warriors in the heavens, and it was not very intriguing.

That's why he descended to the mortal realm to test this Monkey King's abilities.

Sun Wukong said, "I've heard from Taibai that you often practice martial arts with the celestial warriors, so your skills must be extraordinary."

"That's right!"

Nezha lifted his proud head, "Among the celestial warriors, in terms of martial prowess, I'm top-notch; in terms of divine skills, also at the forefront."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong asked curiously, "Then how do you compare with Yang Erlang at Guan River Mouth, who's stronger?"

Nezha's face darkened but still replied, "He's a bit stronger than me. However, he is stationed all year round at Guan River Mouth, follows his instructions yet not the summons; as the Jade Emperor's nephew, he does not fall within our rankings."

"Oh~" Sun Wukong elongated the sound.

Oh, what?

Nezha's face red as a hot iron, angrily said, "Come on, fight with me and see if this Monkey King has any real skills. If not, I know some monsters in the lower realm that haven't caused any trouble, and I could introduce them to you to be your protectors."

Sun Wukong was surprised and then smiled warmly.

Nezha, though irritable, was not ill-hearted.

Protectors, by definition, were immortals tasked with guarding true immortals of virtue. Typically, they possessed great martial prowess and extraordinary divine skills.

For instance, Moksha, who serves The Bodhisattva Guanyin.

Or, as in their first simulation, himself, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk could be considered the protectors of Tang Monk.

However, it was clear that in that first simulation, he was the only one who fulfilled the protector's duty.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk at the start of the journey to the west were merely auxiliary, particularly Zhu Bajie, who, out of jealousy for his abilities and connections, added to his inherent laziness, often exacerbated the situation, truly annoying.

"Protectors are not necessary," Sun Wukong shook his head, "If you wish to fight with me for a thrill, I am happy to oblige. We only need to agree on the rules of engagement."

Nezha was undeniably talented and, if a real competition ensued, would be quick to let his competitive spirit flare up, possibly unleashing his full strength.

The aftereffects of such a battle could be more than Huaguo Mountain could bear.

In their simulation, they had taken the fight above the Eastern Sea to avoid repercussions to Huaguo Mountain, which still required some time for restoration afterward.

This time, he wanted to set the terms in advance.

"Rules?"

Nezha was puzzled - aside from prohibiting underhanded tricks like groin kicks and eye gouges, what other rules needed to be set for a bout of martial and divine skills?

Probably this Monkey King was intimidated by his reputation and sought to win by being crafty.

Heh!

"Speak your terms, I am quite skilled, let any rules be set, I will still triumph!" he boasted arrogantly.

"In that case, then..."
