Her voice carried from afar before she even got close, showing she was angry to a certain degree.

"What happened, Bulma?"

"Son Goku" turned his head back, somewhat confused.

"How can someone be like this! The old grandma finally found her granddaughter, but she refuses to leave, wanting to stay here and enjoy life!"

"She also said a lot of hurtful things, and the old grandma cried!"

Having grown up in a wealthy family and doted on by her parents, she couldn't understand the choice of the girl named Buya.

"Even if her life is better now, she was forcibly abducted by Oolong back then!"

"It's okay, Bulma. No matter what choice they make, it's their own decision. We just need to respect their choice."

"Son Goku" spoke again to comfort her, and Bulma could only nod in agreement. However, as her attention returned, she suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Hey, Wukong, why are you so smart today! You don't seem like a brat at all!"

This discovery made Bulma marvel. In the short time she hadn't seen him, this kid was spouting such philosophical words, which was truly surprising.

"You're the brat! Damn you, Bulma!"

"Son Gohan" nearby became unhappy upon hearing this!

This was like scolding a monk for being bald right in front of him!

"Hey, Gohan, why do you talk so much like Wukong, and Wukong talks so much like you?"

Bulma looked at the two of them, one after the other, feeling quite confused. Why did it feel so strange!

"BOOM!" With a puff of smoke, an indignant Son Goku stood before her, looking refreshed.

"Stupid Bulma! Huh?! The transformation is gone!"

Son Goku was confused.

"Son Gohan" silently sensed the energy in his body, which he could still faintly detect as it slowly dissipated, and calculated the rate of loss.

"It seems Wukong's energy is temporarily depleted, which is why he had to cancel the transformation."

"From just now until now, it's only been about ten minutes."

"And I still have more than half of my energy left."

"Deactivate!"

After thinking for a moment, "Son Gohan" voluntarily deactivated his transformation.

Because it was the first practice and the first transformation, fundamentally, apart from appearance, physique, and voice, he was still himself inside.

"I still need to train a lot, otherwise it will be difficult to use it in actual combat!"

"But it's quite suitable for flirting later!"

Thinking of this, Son Gohan glanced at Bulma.

At this time, Bulma was playing with Son Goku, and was obviously a little shocked that their brothers had also learned to transform.

"Hey, Bulma, the matter here is resolved. We'll go back and ask them about their final decision and prepare to set off!"

The group re-entered the great hall, and Son Gohan asked the old woman and her granddaughter about their final choice.

As expected, the old woman chose to stay with her granddaughter. Having been alone for so long, she couldn't bear to part with her granddaughter.

Moreover, with her experience, she could probably guess that if she returned alone, she would not have a good end facing the villagers.

"Hey! Oolong, no matter what, you must take good care of the old woman, understand! Otherwise, when we come back after finding the Dragon Balls, I will definitely make Gohan deal with you!"

Seeing that they were about to part, Bulma could only make a final effort for the old woman. After all, the Six-Star Ball was given by them, and they had not perfectly fulfilled its request.

"Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of the old lady and Buya!"

Seeing Son Gohan looking over, Pig-headed Oolong quickly promised respectfully, speaking with utmost deference, indicating his absolute loyalty!

"Then, goodbye, old woman!"

After saying goodbye to everyone again, the group embarked on the journey to find the sixth Dragon Ball!

This day, seeing that it was getting late, the vegetation in the distance gradually became sparse, and the temperature rose significantly. Therefore, the team, which had returned to the configuration of three people and one dragon, chose to set up camp.

"Hey, Gohan, we're about to reach the Evil Desert marked on the map. We need to prepare enough water first."

It must be said that it is difficult to cross this boundless desert without water.

"Okay, let's rest nearby and prepare water resources. With Ribut leading us, it should only take about ten days to cross."

After cheering himself up, Son Gohan began to ponder the Yamcha they would soon encounter.

"It's best to beat this kid into a pig's head as soon as we meet, and then subdue him completely."

This time, even if Goku went hungry, he wouldn't lose.

Since Ribut had been carrying them all along, Bulma's tool bag had not been lost. After they had slept and eaten their fill, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

Some meditated and cultivated, while others immersed themselves in Sumari's love story.

Afterward, everyone gathered outside again and started a tea party.

"Wukong, do you want a wife?"

"If you say the word, I'll find one for you!"

Thinking of Chichi from Mount Frypan, Son Gohan felt like teasing.

This time, on their Dragon Ball journey, he not only had to find the Dragon Balls but also bring back a wife for Wukong.

"Wife? What's that? Can you eat it?"

Son Goku scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Of course, you can eat it, but not in the way you're thinking!"

Son Gohan winked at Wukong, as if there was more to it.

But Son Goku, being as innocent as he was, even after living with Son Gohan for many years, was still a blank slate when it came to romance and didn't understand his meaning.

He didn't understand, but someone present understood perfectly.

Bulma's face turned red, and she glared hatefully at Son Gohan.

"Hey, hey! Wukong is still a child, don't corrupt him!"

"I really don't understand how you can be so lewd at such a young age!"

"Huh? Did I say anything? I was just discussing finding a wife for Wukong in the future."

"Besides, we're both over ten years old this year. If we find a girl we like and date for a few years, then it'll be time for the man to marry and the woman to wed!"

Son Gohan began to argue.

"Then what did you mean by eating it and stuff! That's so perverted! You're a, a big pervert!"

Bulma hesitated slightly but still mustered the courage to say it.

"Besides, with your height, you have the nerve to say you're over ten years old!"

Bulma pouted, her expression clearly showing disbelief.

"You finally asked!"

Son Gohan's mouth curved into a smile. The reason he specifically steered the conversation this way was to take the opportunity to reveal his age and racial characteristics.

If he had brought it up out of the blue, it would have been too awkward. Now that Bulma had asked, it felt much smoother!
