"Goku, hurry up and make your wish!"

"Mm."

Goku nodded earnestly, then turned to face Shenron and said, "Shenron, please bring my grandfather Son Gohan back to life!"

"I am sorry, I cannot fulfill this wish!"

Upon hearing Shenron's words, Goku's expression suddenly dimmed, his eyes grew moist, and he slowly lowered his head.

"Why, Shenron?"

Ziye frowned slightly and asked in confusion; in his memory, Shenron was clearly capable of resurrecting people.

"Son Gohan refuses to be resurrected. I cannot override his will!"

Shenron explained in a detached tone.

Hearing this, Goku's expression eased significantly, and he returned to his usual self.

"Goku, it seems your grandfather is doing well over there, so don't worry about him!"

Ziye patted Goku on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Mm."

"Thank you, Ziye."

Goku nodded with a smile.

"State your other wishes!"

Shenron's majestic voice rang out once more.

"Since no one else has any wishes, then I won't be polite!" Seeing everyone's hesitation, Ziye spoke up without reservation.

"Shenron! Can you grant me an immortal body?"

Hearing this, Shenron hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "This... I'm afraid not. There is no such thing as absolute immortality in this world, at least not within my power. If it were just eternal youth or resurrecting a person, I might be able to manage that."

Hearing this, Ziye rubbed his chin and began to ponder again.

"Shenron, then please grant me the ability to recover rapidly!" Ziye said.

"This I can fulfill to the best of my ability!"

The next second, Ziye felt a mysterious power flow into his body, circulating through every part of him before vanishing.

"Your wish has been granted. Farewell."

With that, Shenron's figure slowly faded away, and the Dragon Balls scattered in all directions.

"Why did the Dragon Balls fly away?"

Goku asked with a puzzled look.

"Because after Shenron fulfills a wish, the Dragon Balls scatter across the world and won't regain their luster for another year," Bulma explained calmly.

"Does that mean I have to wait a year before I can find my grandfather's relic?" Goku asked.

"Theoretically, yes," Bulma nodded and said.

She then turned her gaze toward Ziye, moved slowly to his side, and with a blushing face, asked in a low voice, "Ziye, I'm planning to return to West City. Would you like to come with me?"

Hearing this, Ziye shook his head and said, "Goku and I have already promised Master Roshi that we would go to train with him once this was over!"

Although he understood Bulma's intentions, he only wanted to become stronger right now. After all, this world was very dangerous, and since heaven had given him the chance to transmigrate and even gifted him a cheat, he certainly shouldn't continue to live a mediocre life!

"That's right, I still want to become even stronger!" Goku also nodded and said with a smile.

"You still think you're not strong enough?"

Oolong asked with a look of disdain.

"Martial arts have no end. There is no strongest, only stronger," Ziye interjected immediately.

"That's right," Goku nodded with a smile.

"You two are really training maniacs. Do whatever you want!"

Bulma couldn't help but roll her eyes and say.

"What about you, Oolong? Where do you plan to go?"

Hearing Bulma's question, Oolong retorted:

"Hey, didn't you promise to take me to West City and introduce me to nice girls?"

"As for that? A pervert like you probably won't be liked by any girls!"

Bulma covered her mouth and giggled.

"Hmph, that's none of your business!"

Oolong crossed his arms over his chest, looking unconvinced.

"By the way, Bulma, could you leave your Dragon Ball Radar with Goku? That way, he can go look for his grandfather's relic a year from now," Ziye suddenly spoke up.

"Of course I can."

Bulma nodded with a smile, then took the radar out of her pocket and placed it into Goku's hands.

"Thank you, Bulma! Ziye, you're always so thoughtful!" Goku said, his face full of gratitude.

"Ziye, Goku! I plan on heading to West City with Bulma and the others. I hope you two can become masters like Master Mutten!" Yamcha said, cupping his hands in a salute to the two of them.

"Alright, then let's part ways here!"

Watching the figures of Ziye and Goku gradually disappear into the distance, a trace of loneliness couldn't help but appear on Bulma's face. She ran a few steps forward and shouted loudly, "Ziye, you must come find me in West City when you have the time!"

After parting ways with Bulma and the others, Ziye and Goku began to head toward the place where Master Roshi resided. After traveling for nearly three days, the two finally arrived at the small island where Master Roshi lived.

"Old man, we're here!"

Goku raised his voice and shouted loudly toward the house in front of them.

However, after a long while, there was still not a single sound from inside.

"Could it be that there's no one home?"

Ziye said, his face full of confusion.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

With that, the two pushed open the door and walked inside. They saw Master Roshi sitting cross-legged in front of the television, watching the women doing aerobics in the video with undivided attention, with drool dripping onto the floor drop by drop.

"Old man, we've come to see you!" Goku walked up to Master Roshi and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Goku, Ziye, why have you come?" Master Roshi asked afterward.

"The Dragon Balls have been found. As promised, we've come here for training," Ziye said calmly.

"I see. You two go sit to the side for now; don't disturb my television watching!"

"But old man, I'm hungry," Goku said, clutching his stomach with an unhappy expression.

"There's food in the fridge, don't bother me!" Having said that, Master Roshi ignored Goku and continued to watch the television with rapt attention.

Goku excitedly rushed into the kitchen, while Ziye chuckled softly and sat alone on the sofa. He casually picked up a magazine from the table, but the moment he opened it, all sorts of beauties in swimsuits came into view. Shaking his head helplessly, he tossed the magazine back down.

About thirty minutes later, the aerobics program with the beauties on TV finally ended. Master Roshi stood up, still wanting more. When he saw only Ziye sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where did that guy Goku run off to?"

Ziye chuckled and said with a meaningful smile, "He went into the kitchen and hasn't come out yet!"

Seeing Ziye's strange smile, Master Roshi curiously walked into the kitchen, but the scene before his eyes left him completely shocked, and an inexplicable surge of anger welled up in his heart!
