"Baolian Lantern? Damn, did we switch channels or something?"
Watching Goddess Nüwa sit atop a lotus platform, the Baolian Lantern floating above her head as it effortlessly blocked every attack, Sun Wukong felt a massive headache coming on and could not help complaining.
"If I remember correctly, shouldn't the Baolian Lantern be Chenxiang's magical treasure?"
"The Baolian Lantern was originally Goddess Nüwa's magical treasure. She merely bestowed it upon the Third Saintly Mother later, and it was eventually passed down to Chenxiang."
"Don't you read mythology?"
Lei Zhenzi looked at Sun Wukong with utter disdain.
"I only read Journey to the West. I don't know about the rest."
Sun Wukong shrugged, indicating that he did not know this story.
"That's why I say you're a monkey. You don't even know something this simple."
Lei Zhenzi sneered at Sun Wukong and continued, "If you're uneducated, read more books. Don't spend every day studying some storybook. What's the point? How many times have I told you? Journey to the West is just a novel. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was nothing more than a fictional creation, yet you cling to it every day."
Lei Zhenzi had always looked down on Sun Wukong over this matter.
So what if there was a novel written specifically about him? Did he really have to keep studying Journey to the West every single day?
"Tch, you're just jealous. At least there's a book written specifically about me, and it's widely known. You, on the other hand, are just a background extra."
Sun Wukong was equally sharp-tongued, leaving Lei Zhenzi speechless with a single retort.
"I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. Ask ten people, and at least nine will know Old Sun. But you? Nobody even knows who you are."
That was indeed
