As the saying goes, when rivals in love meet, they are bound to be red-eyed with jealousy.
Thus, the moment they laid eyes on each other, neither gave the other a pleasant look.
However, since Sun Wukong was standing right there, they both forced a smile onto their faces to leave a good impression in his heart.
"Wukong, who is this?"
"This is Chi-Chi!"
"Chi-Chi!"
Bulma was startled.
She remembered her being round and chubby back then; she never expected her to grow up so beautiful, though her taste in clothing... was still the same as before.
"Long time no see, Big Sister Bulma!"
Chi-Chi greeted Bulma with a smile.
Calling me 'Big Sister,' is she implying that I'm older than Sun Wukong?
Bulma thought to herself upon hearing this.
"Long time no see. If Wukong hadn't told me you were Chi-Chi, I wouldn't have recognized you!"
"Is that so!"
Chi-Chi smiled faintly.
"By the way, Chi-Chi, aren't you supposed to be at Fried Bread Mountain? How did you end up in West City?"
"This..."
Chi-Chi was just about to speak.
Suddenly, the person beside Sun Wukong spoke up for him.
"Chi-Chi had a falling out with her family and ran away from home!"
"Ran away from home?"
Bulma glanced at Chi-Chi and asked.
"Is that true, Chi-Chi?"
Chi-Chi looked at Sun Wukong and nodded.
"Then why did you come back with Wukong?"
"My father contacted Master Mutaito, and Master Mutaito called Wukong to come find me!"
"I see! In that case, Wukong, why don't you take her back to Fried Bread Mountain?"
Sun Wukong glanced at Chi-Chi.
"No, I'm not going back!"
Chi-Chi wrapped both arms around Sun Wukong's arm.
Seeing this scene, Bulma's jealousy flared up instantly.
Immediately, she also used both hands to grab onto Sun Wukong's arm.
"Uh..."
Sun Wukong was stunned.
They were just talking, why did they suddenly start grabbing him!
Seeing this, Chi-Chi glared at Bulma with a face full of anger.
Bulma, seeing this, didn't back down in the slightest and shot a defiant look right back.
"Um..."
Sensing the atmosphere around them turning sour, Sun Wukong was about to tell them to let go when Chi-Chi suddenly gave a hard tug, pulling Sun Wukong's body to the left.
"Damn it!"
Bulma cursed inwardly and immediately yanked Sun Wukong to the right.
Sun Wukong's body leaned toward the right.
But soon, he was pulled back by Chi-Chi again.
Whoosh...
Bulma put her strength into it and pulled Sun Wukong back.
Just as Chi-Chi prepared to pull Sun Wukong back, she realized she couldn't budge him no matter how hard she tried.
She looked up and realized that Sun Wukong was staring at her.
"Wu... Wukong!"
Sun Wukong glanced at Bulma as well.
"Are you two going to let go of me or not?"
Bulma let out a cold snort and loosened her grip.
Seeing this, Chi-Chi had no choice but to let go as well.
Just as Sun Wukong was feeling a headache over the two of them, Dr. Brief finished his work and walked over from the distance.
"Dr. Brief!"
Dr. Brief nodded, then looked at Chi-Chi and asked.
"Wukong, who is this?"
"She is Chi-Chi, the daughter of my grandfather's junior fellow apprentice!"
"Oh, is that so!"
Dr. Brief looked at Chi-Chi with a smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm Bulma's father! Welcome to our home!"
As he spoke, Dr. Brief looked at Bulma.
"Bulma, you must treat Wukong's friend well!"
Upon hearing this, Bulma looked at Dr. Brief with a dissatisfied expression.
She didn't know if Dr. Brief was truly oblivious or just pretending, but Chi-Chi was about the same age as Sun Wukong and was clearly her romantic rival.
He was actually telling her to treat her own rival well!
"Alright Wukong, you two chat!"
"Okay!"
After saying this, Dr. Brief immediately walked toward the house.
Once Dr. Brief had left, Bulma gradually calmed down.
This was her home, her home turf; how could she lose to an outsider girl here?
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Bulma's face.
"So Chi-Chi, if you aren't going home, where are you planning to stay?"
When Chi-Chi heard this, she was momentarily unable to answer.
When she came here, she only wanted to be with Sun Wukong.
She hadn't thought about anything else.
"Wukong!"
Chi-Chi looked at Sun Wukong.
"Chi-Chi, why don't you stay here for a few days and then go back? Your father must be worried about you!"
Chi-Chi glanced at Sun Wukong, then looked at Bulma and nodded.
You're still too green to fight me!
Seeing this, Bulma felt secretly triumphant.
"Oh right Wukong, I just finished making a cake. Could you help me taste if it's any good?"
"Sure!"
After saying this, Bulma immediately ran into the house to get the cake.
Taking advantage of Bulma being inside, Chi-Chi suddenly looked at Sun Wukong with a shy expression.
"Wu... Wukong!"
"What is it?"
"Wu... Wukong, I like you. Ever since we first met, I've liked you. Can you... can you be my boyfriend?"
"I... don't have any thoughts like that for now!"
"No thoughts like that?"
"I only want to train right now!"
"I don't believe you, you must like Bulma!"
The moment the words left her lips, Bulma walked out carrying the cake she had made and placed it on the table in the yard.
Bulma used a long knife to cut a slice, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Sun Wukong.
"Here Wukong, taste this cake and tell me how it is!"
"Okay!"
Sun Wukong used a fork to pick up a piece of the cake and took a bite.
"This cake is actually quite delicious!"
"Really! Then I'll make it for you every day from now on!"
Chi-Chi let out a cold snort.
"What's so good about cake! Wukong, I'll cook you a whole table of food this afternoon!"
Bulma's anger was instantly ignited upon hearing this.
"Like you're the only one who can cook! This afternoon, I'm going to make a table of food for Wukong too!"
"..."
Seeing the two of them bickering again, Sun Wukong immediately felt a headache coming on.
After they argued for a while, Sun Wukong couldn't take it anymore, so he ran off to the Gravity Room to train.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.
That afternoon, because of the cake incident in the morning, Chi-Chi and Bulma really started a cooking competition.
Although Bulma knew how to cook, she was still far behind Chi-Chi, who had been learning for several years.
At five in the afternoon, the two finished their dishes and called Sun Wukong over to taste them.
Sun Wukong sampled the food from both of them.
"How is it, Wukong?"
Chi-Chi asked.
"It's pretty good!"
"And mine?"
"Also... pretty good!"
Chi-Chi: "Then which one of us made it better?"
"The... same!"
"Hmm!"
Both pairs of eyes were locked onto him.
"No way, you have to pick one!"
"..."
"Look, a UFO!"
Sun Wukong pointed forward.
The two didn't even shift their gaze, continuing to stare at him.
"Speak!"
"Whoosh..."
Sun Wukong vanished using Instant Transmission.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Sun Wukong escape, the two immediately flew into a rage.
North King Kai's Planet.
North King Kai was lying leisurely on a chair when a figure suddenly appeared.
This person was none other than Sun Wukong.
