Earth.

Vegeta returned to the estate, and Bulma seemed like a different person, completely drowning in Vegeta's affection.

Vegeta continued his routine, just as he had before he left. Every day, aside from training, he spent his time fulfilling his duties to Bulma.

The hazy, aimless days almost made him forget everything he had learned a short while ago.

Two months after his return, Sun Wukong suddenly sought out Vegeta. Watching Wukong struggle, looking as if he were constipated, Vegeta couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, Kakarot, just say what you want to ask. Don't stand there looking like you're constipated," Vegeta mocked.

"Vegeta... this... you..." Wukong hesitated, unsure whether to speak his mind.

"Spit it out! You're a grown man, stop acting so coy. It's a disgrace to the Saiyans!" Vegeta barked.

"Fine! Please teach me how to transform into a Super Saiyan!" Wukong shouted in response.

"So that's it? Why were you so embarrassed to ask? I really don't get you," Vegeta said, suddenly enlightened.

"Heh, I was just shy. I held it in for so long, but I couldn't help but come to you!" Wukong said, scratching his head.

Looking at the protagonist he had been a fan of for so long, how could Vegeta refuse?

"Fine, I'll teach you..." Vegeta proceeded to explain the secrets of the transformation.

"Finally, condense that power into your back and spine. Do you understand!?" Vegeta finished.

"I understand. Let me try."

A terrifying wave of energy surged across Sun Wukong's entire body, and a golden light erupted. His hair began to change slowly; between the gold and black, a faint shimmer of white flickered.

His pupils turned green. The immense energy caused the entire estate to tremble, even though he was desperately trying to control his aura, unlike Vegeta, who had been reckless and unrestrained when he first achieved it.

Bulma walked out, stumbling from the tremors. Wukong managed to stabilize his aura, and the ground stopped shaking.

"Sun Wukong, can't you go outside to transform? You nearly made me get splashed with my own crap while I was using the toilet!" Bulma yelled furiously.

"Oh, sorry, Bulma. It was my first time transforming, I couldn't control it!" Wukong apologized, though he still wore a nonchalant expression.

"Vegeta, teach him a lesson. That jerk..."

"Kakarot, let's go. Let me teach you how to control the evil energy of a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta said with a sinister grin.

"I don't know about that..." Wukong said, though his body was already eager for a fight.

However, the sudden inflation of his power made him arrogant, causing him to forget his fear of Vegeta.

With his base combat power of 10 million, his transformed state was a mere 500 million—equivalent to the strength Frieza had when he arrived on Earth in his mechanical form.

But he was still nowhere near Vegeta.

The two took to the sky, using the Flight Technique to fly toward a desert.

Vegeta faced Sun Wukong in his base form.

He didn't need to transform to beat him; the first level of the Killing Intent Fist was more than enough. Don't forget, his current base combat power was 150 million. With the boost from the first level of the Killing Intent Fist, he could reach 750 million—250 million more than Wukong.

"Vegeta, aren't you going to transform?" Wukong asked, puzzled.

"No need. Beating you is easy enough!" Vegeta said dismissively.

A great battle erupted...

An hour later, the two returned to the estate. Bulma burst into laughter at the sight of Sun Wukong, who was covered in bruises.

Ever since Vegeta had arrived on Earth, Sun Wukong's position as the strongest on the planet had long since vanished. Bulma felt a deep sense of pride—her man was just that powerful!

"Vegeta, why are you so strong? You beat me without even transforming!" Wukong asked, rubbing his aching body in confusion.

"Base combat power is the key. Your Kaio-ken, my Killing Intent Fist, and even the Super Saiyan transformation—they all provide a multiplier based on your base power. Your current normal combat power is only 10 million! I am ten times stronger than you. That's why I don't need to transform to beat you!" Vegeta explained.

"But I feel like I've hit my limit. I can't increase my base combat power anymore. Ordinary training doesn't do anything for me!" Wukong said, troubled.

"I have a way. Have Bulma build you a Gravity Chamber! That thing is useless to me now, but for you, there's still plenty of room for improvement!" Vegeta said.

"But I don't have any money... how much would that cost? Ever since I've been home, Chi-Chi has been nagging me to find a job," Wukong sighed. For a Saiyan obsessed with fighting, being forced to find a job was making his body feel like it was rusting.

"Bulma, give Kakarot some money so he doesn't let financial troubles affect his training. I still want to use him as a whetstone, after all. Besides, there aren't many Saiyans left!" Vegeta said to Bulma.

"I couldn't possibly..." Wukong said, feeling embarrassed.

"Wow, Vegeta-san, you're so shameless! Not only do I have to support you, but now you want me to spend money to support another man..." Bulma mocked, feigning shock.

Despite her words, she didn't hesitate to arrange for someone to fetch the money.

Vegeta and Wukong were both incredibly awkward.

Wukong feared Vegeta might punish him, while Vegeta thought to himself, Damn it, this annoying woman, she says whatever comes to her mind...

Ten minutes later, an employee from Capsule Corp arrived at the estate with a suitcase of cash.

"Director Bulma, we can only withdraw 100 million for now. If you need more later, we will prepare it."

"Fine. Take note of his appearance and his home address. Send him 100 million every year!" Bulma said, pointing at Wukong.

"Bulma, thank you so much! You've solved a huge problem for me!" Wukong said excitedly.

"Don't get too happy yet. Chi-Chi is a strong-willed woman; if she finds out, she might not necessarily accept it. When you take the money back, have her give me a call so I can explain it to her. With your brain, you'll definitely mess it up!" Bulma said.

"Uh, right. That would be a huge help!"

"If Chi-Chi hadn't made her move first, who knows, I might not have let you off the hook back then either, hehe!" Bulma teased.

"Hey, hey, hey! Bulma, what are you saying? I'm standing right here!" Vegeta roared in anger.

It seems that besides having immense combat power, Saiyans also have quite the jealous streak!

Goku panicked and hurriedly flew away. He really couldn't handle this; if he stayed any longer, he was going to get beaten up!

"Yo, I never expected our Saiyan Prince to get jealous too," Bulma said, walking up to Vegeta and lifting his chin with her finger.

"Hmph, you're done for..." Vegeta snorted coldly.

He immediately swept Bulma up into his arms and headed toward the bedroom.

"You jerk, let me go! It's broad daylight... the employees are still here!" Bulma struggled feebly.

"I didn't see anything..." The woman who had delivered the money broke into a cold sweat, feeling incredibly awkward.

More than a month passed!

Shenron on Earth had been revived, but this time he didn't come to Bulma's place. Krillin and Goku revived Tien Shinhan and Yamcha at Kame House Island.

They were afraid that if Vegeta saw Yamcha, he wouldn't be able to resist attacking him. After all, Bulma belonged to Vegeta now.

When an ex meets the current partner, things usually go wrong!

After Yamcha was revived, he was in low spirits. He didn't chat much with the others and left with his pet. He was never seen again after that!

"Hmph, you're smart enough to stay away," Vegeta muttered, having sensed their revival from the estate.

Seeing that Yamcha didn't come looking for Bulma, he chose to let him off.

Bulma woke up.

"Vegeta, take me to the Elf Continent to see it! I want to see the scenery you described, and your Queen as well," Bulma said, sounding slightly jealous.

"Fine, it's time to go discuss an alliance anyway."

Vegeta and Bulma got dressed. Bulma looked at Vegeta and said, "The battle armor suits you better—it's domineering, devilishly charming, and handsome. That elf outfit, while incredibly noble, doesn't suit you at all, especially with your hairstyle!"

"Alright, let's go. I'm not used to those wide robes and big sleeves either; they're inconvenient for fighting!" Vegeta replied.

Vegeta then unleashed his Space-Time Technique, and with a single teleport, the two of them vanished!
