Goku Hits Chi-Chi

"Where?" Goku's body jolted. His expression turned solemn as he followed Wang Yang's gaze.

Just then, a tiny black dot appeared in the sky. It gradually grew larger, until it finally became a pale yellow plane right before Goku's eyes.

A prominent logo was printed on the plane: CAPSULE!

Looking at it, Son Goku had a bad feeling. He carefully sensed who was aboard and nearly jumped out of his skin.

"It's Chi-Chi and Bulma! What are they doing here? What do I do now?"

"That's them. They spotted us here the whole time through Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball, so they're furious. I'll leave them to you. Give them a good beating!" Wang Yang said with a broad grin.

"Ah! I can't!" Goku was dumbfounded. He'd completely forgotten about defeating Wang Yang.

Chi-Chi was someone he could never defeat in his entire life. Whenever she got angry, all Goku could do was tremble.

Seeing Wang Yang and Son Goku standing there nervously, Krillin and Piccolo exchanged a glance, amusement in their eyes.

Heh! Who would've thought that the two strongest people on Earth were both afraid of their wives?

The plane hadn't even landed yet when a woman in a cheongsam jumped out.

As soon as Chi-Chi landed, she looked around, searching for her son, Gohan.

"Gohan!"

"Gohan, my Gohan! Where are you?"

Chi-Chi shouted.

Huh?

Wu Sheng turned his head slightly to look at Chi-Chi and Bulma, surprise on his face. He hadn't expected them to come, either.

He wasn't in a hurry to deal with Vegeta now. In his eyes, Vegeta was like a grasshopper in autumn—he wouldn't be jumping around for much longer.

"Goku, get over here!"

Unable to find her son, Chi-Chi roared at Son Goku.

"Chi-Chi, what are you doing here?"

Goku hurried over, not daring to disobey.

"Where's my Gohan?" Chi-Chi grabbed Goku by the collar and glared at him.

"There!" Goku forced a smile and pointed toward Wu Sheng.

"Gohan? How could he be Gohan? My Gohan is only five years old. He isn't that big." Chi-Chi looked at Wu Sheng. The boy looked a lot like Gohan, but he wasn't her son.

Bulma got off the plane, too. She wore a short, sky-blue skirt that showed off her curvy figure. With her hands on her hips, she tapped the ground impatiently with her booted foot and glared at Wang Yang, a hint of anger on her face.

"Bulma, you came too!" Wang Yang grinned and stepped forward, playfully putting an arm around her shoulders.

"Hmph! Do you have any idea how worried I was? If I'd known you were here, I wouldn't have spent all that time worrying." Bulma turned her head and snorted. Seeing Wang Yang still grinning as if he hadn't learned his lesson, she was so angry she wanted to give him a good beating.

Wang Yang paused at her words, then remembered that Bulma wasn't like Chi-Chi. If he insisted that Wang Sheng fight, she might worry, but she'd ultimately accept his decision.

Just like all the unreasonable things he asked of her: even when she wasn't entirely willing, she'd eventually agree.

"Bulma, I didn't consider your feelings this time, and I made you worry. I'll be sure to talk it over with you next time." Wang Yang quickly apologized, his contrition sincere.

"I'll let you off this time. Where's Little Sheng?" Bulma asked with a snort.

"There he is!" Wang Yang said, pointing at Wu Sheng.

"Goku just said he was Gohan, and now you're saying he's Little Sheng. What's going on?" Bulma asked, frowning in confusion.

"It's like this..." Wang Yang explained how the two had fused.

"If Fusion makes them that powerful, and Gohan was beaten so badly just now, why didn't you teach them how to use it?" Chi-Chi shouted at Son Goku.

Goku smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible! Gohan wasn't beaten badly at all. You must have seen it wrong. Look, he's still standing over there, full of spirit. If you don't believe me, I'll call him over, and you can ask him whether he was beaten badly." Wang Yang shook his head and spoke with righteous conviction.

"We all saw it. How could we have seen it wrong?" Oolong muttered.

"You must have seen it wrong. Fortuneteller Baba's crystal ball must have created an illusion and failed to show what really happened. That old woman's skills are poor, and her fortune-telling is expensive. Don't ask her to tell your fortunes next time. I'll do it for you." Wang Yang refused to admit anything.

"These youngsters are so dishonest. They didn't even pay for their fortunes!"

At Kame House, Fortuneteller Baba was complaining about Bulma and the others, muttering to herself nonstop.

She suddenly sneezed, blowing the crystal ball in front of her away.

"Which good-for-nothing is slandering me behind my back now? I'll find you!"

"#￥%..."

"Why is it you again? Oh, never mind. I'll let it go this time." Fortuneteller Baba saw the familiar face in the crystal ball and, feeling guilty, cut off her incantation.

Wang Yang winked discreetly at Bulma.

They understood each other perfectly. Bulma punched Oolong hard on the head.

"Shut up! If Wang Yang says it didn't happen, then Fortuneteller Baba must have gotten it wrong."

"..." Oolong felt deeply aggrieved. I told the truth. Why did I get hit, too?

"..." Master Roshi shrank back and slowly stepped behind Oolong.

"That's right, that's right. Wang Yang is right. Gohan really wasn't beaten badly." Goku laughed.

"You're still laughing? If you hadn't spent all your time training and stayed away from home for two years, Gohan wouldn't have gone off to fight. He could've stayed home and studied hard, like a good boy." Chi-Chi kept scolding Goku.

"Chi-Chi, don't worry. Once the battle is over, Gohan can study properly!"

After comforting her, Son Goku gave Chi-Chi a gentle pat.

Bang!

"Ah!"

A streak of light flashed past, accompanied by a loud scream. Chi-Chi was embedded in a rock, limbs splayed.

"Chi-Chi!" Son Goku looked at his palm, cried out, and flew toward her.

Wang Yang watched Goku with a helpless look. This was what happened when you didn't know how to control your own strength.

"Mom!"

Wu Sheng hurried over, worried.

"Dad, why did you hit Mom? Look how badly you hurt her!" Wu Sheng complained to Son Goku.

"Uh, Gohan, I couldn't control my strength. I just gave Chi-Chi a gentle pat, and it sent her flying!" Son Goku said with an awkward grin as he helped Chi-Chi up.

"Wang Yang..."

Looking at Chi-Chi's miserable state, Bulma swallowed nervously.

"What is it?" Wang Yang asked in confusion.
