184: Chapter 171: Joining Forces to Beat Up Tathagata_5 184: Chapter 171: Joining Forces to Beat Up Tathagata_5 Lady Dragon of Wealth said with a face full of sympathy, unable to help herself, she hugged Sun Wukong, wanting to comfort him.

Sun Wukong, who was initially quite sentimental, felt instantly awkward when embraced by Lady Dragon of Wealth, suddenly forgetting his sorrow.

“Ahem, Dragon Girl, let go of me first, I’m fine,”

Sun Wukong hurriedly said.

Lady Dragon of Wealth then released Sun Wukong, her face blushing slightly, somewhat disappointed, but also very shy.

Seeing Sun Wukong acting somewhat helpless, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.

The mighty Great Sage, it turned out, was as apprehensive as a tiger when it came to women.

“Hmph, that Jade Emperor is such a bad guy, to make Great Sage this miserable.

If I ever run into him, I’ll definitely squeeze him until…”

Fan Yao was still indignant, wanting to spew some fierce words.

But she suddenly realized that, no matter how much she cultivated, she likely would never be a match for the Jade Emperor.

So she resolutely shut her mouth, swallowing her words.

Sun Wukong laughed, knowing that everyone was just concerned about him.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already accepted all of this.

What I need to do now is to help Great Emperor Ziwei ascend to the position of Great Heavenly Venerate.

And I really want to see what kind of expression the Jade Emperor will have then.”

The spirits of the crowd were lifted.

One could imagine, once Great Emperor Ziwei ascended to the throne, the Jade Emperor’s face would surely be a sight to behold.

“Haha, I’m looking forward to that day, too.”

Nu Ba said with a laugh.

“I’m looking forward to that day as well.”

An imposing voice sounded, surprisingly belonging to Great Emperor Ziwei.

The crowd hastened to pay their respects, only Sun Wukong was staring at Great Emperor Ziwei, a smile playing on his lips.

Great Emperor Ziwei, gazing at Sun Wukong, exclaimed, “I never expected you to actually be the disciple of the Jade Emperor.

What’s more, I never anticipated that the Jade Emperor’s schemes would be so long-term.

He truly had you pegged to the core back then.”

“I hadn’t seen it coming either, but one thing he didn’t account for is that I eventually became his nuisance.

I think those were the outcomes he didn’t foresee,”

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

“Had he foreseen them, he definitely wouldn’t have given you a chance to rise, or he would have snuffed you out during the Journey to the West.”

Great Emperor Ziwei, who understood the Jade Emperor’s personality very well, said with a smile.

“What brings you here?”

Sun Wukong changed the subject, knowing that with Great Emperor Ziwei’s status, plus his recent rise in reputation, he would definitely not have looked for him without a reason.

Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile, “Can’t I come to see you because I miss you?”

He shot Sun Wukong a sidelong glance, exuding a rather flirtatious air.

Unfortunately, he was a man.

Sun Wukong almost gagged.

Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth watched Great Emperor Ziwei warily—what was he up to?

Could it be that he preferred men?

Do they now have another rival in love?

Had they been able to overpower Great Emperor Ziwei, they would have already blasted him away.

Sun Wukong’s mouth twitched, as he fought the urge to blast the other with his staff, he gritted his teeth and said, “Could you be any more disgusting?

Spit it out if you have something to say, fart if you have to, Old Sun can’t hold back the nausea much longer.”

“You ungrateful one, how could you speak to someone so rudely?”

Great Emperor Ziwei looked aggrieved, almost as if he were about to fashion his fingers into an orchid pose, the very picture of a woman.

Sun Wukong drew out his Jingu Bang, ready to smash it down.

Great Emperor Ziwei hurriedly dodged, his laughter quite embarrassed as he said, “Just kidding, don’t hit, please don’t hit.”

“Enough.”

Sun Wukong said coldly.

His Jingu Bang was not put away, ready to strike at any moment.

Great Emperor Ziwei chuckled dryly, then solemnly said, “Remember I told you about a big job I needed your help with?

The opportunity has come now.”

Only then did Sun Wukong put away his Jingu Bang, he eyed Great Emperor Ziwei and said, “Ready to take action?

But Old Sun already knows who his master is, it seems there is no need for action anymore.”

Great Emperor Ziwei was astonished, scratching his head, realizing this was indeed true.

The condition for asking Sun Wukong to take action was to discover the identity of his master.

But now that Sun Wukong already knew, it seemed there was no longer any need for him to act.

Great Emperor Ziwei felt a bit troubled, pondering if there was anything else that could tempt Sun Wukong.

After a long thought, Great Emperor Ziwei then said, “How about I offer myself in marriage?”

“Boom.”

The Jingu Bang came smashing down, and Great Emperor Ziwei quickly dodged.

Lu Dongbin was speechless, was this really Great Emperor Ziwei?

Why so unserious, even more outrageous than himself?

“I’m joking, for heaven’s sake, don’t hit.”

Great Emperor Ziwei said with a forced laugh.

Sun Wukong put away the Jingu Bang, his face still stern, he said, “I want to help you become Great Heavenly Venerate as this is how I will avenge myself.

As long as it benefits you, I can help you with it.”

Great Emperor Ziwei heaved a sigh of relief, this was great news indeed.

He earnestly said, “Recently, the Dragon King of the West Sea and Gou Chen have become quite close.

Tomorrow, the Dragon King of the West Sea is hosting a banquet for Gou Chen, and that will be our perfect opportunity to make a move.”

“What?

The Dragon Clan intends to ally with Gou Chen?

Why?

The Dragon Clan should remain neutral, or they should choose you, Great Emperor Ziwei.

After all, the Great Sage supports you, and he has done great favors for the Dragon Clan.

By no means should we choose Gou Chen.”

Lady Dragon of Wealth couldn’t help exclaiming.

The others shared the same thought, finding something amiss.

After looking at Lady Dragon of Wealth, Great Emperor Ziwei said, “It’s all because of Little White Dragon’s death.

Ao Run believes it was the Great Saint who killed him, and now he’s sworn enemies with Great Saint.

Naturally, he won’t be inclined to help me.”

Now it all made sense; the crowd had an epiphany.
