I Can Also Extinguish This Mount Frypan

Ox-King nodded.

"Yes, and besides, this way my senior brother and I can become even closer!"

After saying this, Ox-King looked at Chi-Chi.

"Chi-Chi, are you willing?"

Chi-Chi shyly covered her flushed cheeks.

"Father, I'll do whatever you say..."

Son Goku didn't really know what a bride was for.

But remembering that Bulma was Sun Mo's future bride, and how Sun Mo always had to look after her on the road, which was a bit troublesome, Son Goku hesitated.

Sun Mo saw Wukong's concern and quickly explained: "Wukong, why don't you thank Uncle Ox-King?

Let me tell you, Chi-Chi is clearly a good girl.

Once she becomes your bride, she'll cook for you every day and wash your clothes."

When Wukong heard she would cook for him, his eyes lit up immediately.

He looked at Chi-Chi and asked, "Really?"

Chi-Chi shyly fidgeted and said, "Wukong, don't worry, I'll do my best.

I'll definitely become an excellent bride..."

"Alright!" Wukong finally agreed.

With the engagement settled, everyone was delighted.

Ox-King asked, "By the way, Wukong, Sun Mo, don't you live on Mount Paozu?

What brought you all the way out here?"

This was Son Goku's turf—his father-in-law's place—and even though Sun Mo could already put out the fire with a Kamehameha, he didn't want to steal the spotlight, so he let Wukong do the talking.

Wukong replied, "Grandpa sent us out to search for the Dragon Balls and gain experience along the way!"

"Dragon Balls?"

Wukong nodded. "Yeah, Bulma said one of the Dragon Balls is around here."

Bulma immediately pulled out a Dragon Ball and showed it to Ox-King.

"Uncle, this is a Dragon Ball. Have you seen one before?"

Ox-King pinched the Dragon Ball between two fingers and examined it.

"So this is a Dragon Ball?"

"Have you seen it?" Bulma asked.

Ox-King slapped his thigh. "I remember now—there's a ball like this in my treasure pile!"

Bulma was overjoyed.

"Really? Can you give it to us?"

Ox-King scratched his head awkwardly.

"I could give it to you, sure!

But the whole mountain my castle is on is on fire, and the Dragon Ball is inside the castle—there's no way to get it out..."

Bulma panicked. "What?

The Dragon Ball is in the middle of that fire? Then we can't gather all the Dragon Balls!"

Son Goku looked at the distant blaze and the castle on the mountainside, then volunteered: "I'll fly over on the Flying Nimbus and see if I can get it!"

"Flying Nimbus?"

Ox-King looked puzzled.

Son Goku shouted loudly, and the Flying Nimbus landed in front of him.

Ox-King asked in surprise, "Is that Master's Flying Nimbus?"

Son Goku explained, "Master Roshi gave it to me a few days ago."

"What? You've met Master Roshi?"

Son Goku nodded.

"Yeah, and he gave us a Dragon Ball too."

Ox-King asked excitedly, "Do you know where Master Roshi is?"

Wukong nodded. "Yeah, of course I know. What do you need?"

Ox-King waved his arms excitedly. "Great! So you know where Master Roshi is!

Master has a Basho Fan that can put out the fire on Mount Frypan.

You've got Flying Nimbus to fly, and you know the way—can you borrow Master's fan for me?"

Son Goku nodded. "Borrow the fan for you? No problem. I'll head out now?"

With that, Wukong turned to leave.

Ox-King immediately cut him off. "Hold on, let Chi-Chi go with you. You two can spend some time together and build a bond..."

Wukong hesitated, glancing at Chi-Chi. "But only someone pure of heart can ride Flying Nimbus."

Ox-King nodded. "I know that. Chi-Chi's heart is the purest of all. She'll definitely be able to ride it."

Wukong still looked worried.

Chi-Chi stared at the soft, fluffy cloud. "Don't worry. My heart is as clean as toilet water."

With that, she climbed onto Flying Nimbus—and sure enough, she didn't fall off.

Bulma's pupils trembled.

"How is that possible? That little girl can ride Flying Nimbus!"

Sun Mo nodded. "Of course. She's a bit reckless, but her heart is very pure."

Bulma scoffed. "Hmph, riding Flying Nimbus isn't that impressive.

I think it's because I'm prettier than her, so the cloud let her on..."

Sun Mo choked for a moment, then nodded. "You make a good point."

Wukong and Chi-Chi flew off together, leaving Mount Frypan.

Ox-King laughed. "Sun Mo, I haven't seen my senior brother in years. How is he doing?"

Sun Mo nodded. "Mm, Grandpa's in good health. Eats well and sleeps well."

"That's good to hear!"

A nostalgic look crossed Ox-King's face.

"I really miss the days when my senior brother and I trained under Master Roshi.

It's been so many years in the blink of an eye...

Sorry about this—can't even get into the castle, so I can't properly host you!"

Sun Mo smiled. "No worries. We didn't do well either—came empty-handed without bringing any gifts..."

Ox-King laughed. "Gifts? How tacky!

My castle's full of treasure. I don't care about a few scraps. Don't be polite."

Two hours later, Wukong and Chi-Chi returned.

Ox-King rushed over eagerly. "Did you borrow the Basho Fan?"

Chi-Chi shook her head. "Dad, Master Roshi said the fan got stained with grease, and he threw it away long ago."

"What?"

Bulma was startled. "What? No Basho Fan? Then we can't get the Dragon Ball!"

Wukong immediately said, "But Master Roshi came himself."

As the words fell, Master Roshi arrived riding the Spinning Turtle.

Ox-King immediately bowed respectfully. "Master Roshi!"

Master Roshi swept his gaze over Mount Frypan and sighed. "So this is Mount Frypan. Quite something!"

Wukong asked worriedly, "Grandpa Roshi, can you really put out the fire?"

Master Roshi didn't answer Wukong. Instead, he looked at Ox-King.

"Ox-King, your reputation hasn't been great lately. You've been robbing a lot of money, haven't you?"

Ox-King immediately knelt.

"Your disciple is truly ashamed. I let greed get the better of me without realizing it. If the fire is put out, I'm willing to throw away all my treasure..."

Master Roshi waved a hand. "No need for that. That'd be wasteful. Just stop robbing people from now on."

"Yes, Master!"

Ox-King said devoutly.

Master Roshi faced the flames again. "But honestly, you can't even put out a fire like this? How embarrassing!"

Ox-King said shamefully, "Yes, Master is right. Your disciple is useless..."

Just then, Master Roshi leaned close to Wukong, avoiding Chi-Chi, and whispered a few words to him.

Wukong nodded, then walked with Master Roshi over to Bulma and Sun Mo.

"Bulma, Master Roshi says if you want him to help put out the fire, you just need to let him touch your chest..."

Bulma flew into a rage: "You pervy old man, what kind of joke is that?"

Goku didn't quite understand and asked in confusion: "It's just a touch on the chest, what's the big deal?"

Master Roshi leered: "If you won't let me touch, then I'm not going over to put out the fire."

Bulma roared: "Stop joking around! It's Ox-King's place that's on fire—why should I have to sacrifice my body for it?!"

She pointed at Chi-Chi in the distance and said: "Go feel her up instead!"

Master Roshi shook his head: "Are you kidding? She's just an undeveloped little girl..."

Bulma was so angry her veins bulged. Sun Mo immediately patted her shoulder, then rolled up his sleeves.

He said: "Alright, the routine's over. Now it's my turn to step in."

Master Roshi was taken aback.

"What are you going to do?"

Sun Mo looked up at Mount Frypan and said: "No need to trouble Master Roshi.

I can put out the fire on Mount Frypan too!"
