The Clueless Monkey

Duke rode the clouds back to Seven Absolutes City. He had not been home for nearly a year, so Snake Princess assumed he had been fooling around with his disreputable friends and naturally gave him a cold reception. After Duke coaxed her with a few sweet words, she secretly rejoiced but complained that he was an absentee owner who never cared about his own estate.

Duke truly had never cared much. With his temperament, it made no difference whether he had this city or not. Since Snake Princess enjoyed managing it, he simply let her do as she pleased.

That night, Duke took out the scorpion tail he had acquired and considered refining it into a magical treasure.

In the past, Buddha had opened his teachings to all, and many spirits and monsters had gone to hear his sermons. The Scorpion Demon had gone as well. Confident in her formidable powers, she had seized a seat near the front. Tathagata Buddha disliked this and raised a hand to throw her out.

The Scorpion Demon was no coward either. She turned around and gave Buddha a sting in the backside, and the Horse-Stunning Poisonous Sting left him in unbearable pain.

Then there was Son Goku. Five hundred years ago, he had stolen and eaten countless Peaches of Immortality and immortal pills, paying his way to an indestructible diamond body. Blades and spears could not harm him, nor could water or fire. The reason Monkey had survived despite being beaten so badly was that body of bronze head and iron bones. Unfortunately, the Horse-Stunning Poisonous Sting was like the nemesis of his golden body. No matter how hard-headed Monkey was, the sting made him shriek in agony.

The Horse-Stunning Poisonous Sting's poison was ordinary and not worth mentioning against great supernatural beings.
