One Year

"G...Goku!"

The two of them were both startled by the sudden appearance.

"Th...there are two Gokus!"

"No! That was my clone!"

Sun Wukong's original body explained.

"A cl...clone?"

Before the Ox-King could react, Sun Wukong's clone had already turned back into a single hair.

"A hair! Does that mean the one who taught me the Flight Technique before was this hair?"

"No!"

Sun Wukong hurried to explain.

"I just created this clone!"

"If you came here using a clone, why did you appear in person?"

"Because...you came here!"

"Me!"

Chi-Chi was a little moved to hear that.

If she hadn't insisted on getting what she wanted, perhaps...they could have become the best of friends.

"Mm!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Just then, the Ox-King beside them raised the giant axe in his hand.

"You tricked my daughter, and you even used a clone to deceive me!"

As he spoke, the Ox-King was about to bring his axe down.

Chi-Chi flashed in front of Sun Wukong and said,

"Dad, Goku didn't trick me. I did all of this willingly!"

"Chi-Chi, you!"

The Ox-King could only sigh helplessly. In the end, he lowered his axe.

Just then, Chi-Chi turned around and looked at Sun Wukong with a bright smile.

"Goku, even if we don't end up together, we'll still be friends, right?"

"Mm!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Then, since that's the case, you should go back, okay? Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Sun Wukong glanced at the Ox-King.

The Ox-King deliberately snorted.

"Okay!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong plucked a hair from his head and used the Clone Technique again, turning it into a clone.

"Chi-Chi, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep teaching you the Flight Technique, so I'll leave my clone here to teach you, okay?"

Chi-Chi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I'm going?"

Chi-Chi nodded.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong used Instant Transmission and vanished.

"Chi-Chi...why put yourself through this?"

Two days later, Fortune Teller Baba came to the Ox-King's home and learned about what had happened between Sun Wukong and Chi-Chi.

"Ox-King, you're being foolish!"

"Foolish? Fortune Teller Baba, how am I being foolish?"

"What happens between Sun Wukong and Chi-Chi is a matter for the two young people. Why are you getting involved? Besides, you can't force love!"

"I don't care! No one can bully my daughter, even if he is Gohan's grandson!"

"Speaking of Gohan, I saw him a few days ago!"

"Gohan!"

"That's right! He's with Taishang Laojun now! We even talked about Goku!"

"Goku?"

"Yes! I once told Sun Wukong's fortune, and he'll have at least two wives!"

"T...two!"

"That's right! I think Chi-Chi might be one of them!"

"No! Impossible! Unless Goku and Bulma break up, I won't let Chi-Chi marry him!"

"Anything is possible! Chi-Chi has been innocent since she was little. If you don't let her marry Sun Wukong, she might...never marry anyone!"

West City, Bulma's home.

Sun Wukong was sitting on a chair in the courtyard, thinking about Chi-Chi.

"What's wrong, Goku?"

Bulma asked when she saw Sun Wukong sitting in a chair, lost in thought.

"N...nothing!"

"Really?"

Bulma looked at Sun Wukong with disbelief.

"Goku, you're not thinking about Chi-Chi, are you?"

"No!"

Sun Wukong hurriedly denied it.

"Then why are you spacing out?"

"I'm not. I'm just a little bored!"

"Really?"

Bulma didn't press him any further.

Three days later.

Sun Wukong's clone returned.

"Chi-Chi asked me to pass along a message!"

Sun Wukong's clone said.

"What message?"

"She said she's willing to be the second wife!"

"..."

Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of that year, Sun Wukong and Bulma grew much closer.

As for Chi-Chi, he barely kept in touch with her.

He only used the crystal ball from time to time to see how she was doing.

With Sun Wukong's guidance over the past year, Bulma had also learned how to use the crystal ball.

West City, Bulma's home.

Sun Wukong was sitting in the backyard of Bulma's home, drinking freshly squeezed juice that Bulma had made.

A dark-blue figure flew down from the sky.

It was Chi-Chi, whom they hadn't seen in a year.

"Chi-Chi!"

Sun Wukong and Bulma were both startled to see Chi-Chi suddenly arrive.

Chi-Chi smiled and nodded.

"Long time no see, Bulma, Goku!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Bulma, meanwhile, stared intently at Chi-Chi.

"Chi-Chi, how can you fly?"

"Tien Shinhan taught me!"

Since Sun Wukong had told her not to tell Bulma that he had taught her the Flight Technique, Chi-Chi used Tien Shinhan as a convenient excuse.

"Really?"

Bulma looked at Sun Wukong with obvious disbelief.

Chi-Chi and Sun Wukong were unusually close. Bulma didn't believe Chi-Chi would ask Tien Shinhan to teach her the Flight Technique instead of asking Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong gave an awkward laugh, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his face.

"Then why did you come to my house?"

"I know you and Goku are dating, but that's okay. I've made up my mind. If you agree, I don't mind being the second wife!"

"The second wife!"

Bulma glared at Sun Wukong through gritted teeth.

Sun Wukong was so frightened that he downed the juice in his hand.

"So that's why you've never wanted to marry me!"

"That's not it, Bulma!"

Before Sun Wukong could explain, Bulma had already run off.

Sun Wukong had no choice but to chase after her.

But Bulma was furious, and no matter what Sun Wukong said, she wouldn't listen.

With no other choice, Sun Wukong returned to the courtyard.

"Goku, what about Bulma?"

"She left in a huff!"

"Chi-Chi, did you come here today just to tell Bulma that?"

"No! There's something else, too!"

"What is it?"

"I've moved to Mount Paozu. Your grandpa agreed to let me move in!"

"My grandpa!"

"That's right! Fortune Teller Baba said he's with Taishang Laojun now."

"Is that so! Is he doing well?"

"He's doing great. He also said he'd come see you when he has time!"

"Then, Goku, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to Mount Paozu?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"I'll come visit you when I have time, too!"

"Okay!"

After saying that, Chi-Chi immediately flew into the sky and left Bulma's home.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong took out a crystal ball, ready to see where Bulma was.

A green figure suddenly flew down from the sky.

It was Piccolo.

"You're Piccolo?"

"That's right, it's me!"

Piccolo smiled.

"What are you doing here? Did you come for revenge?"
