Heading to the Palace

"Yes."

Ziye and the others nodded earnestly.

"Tch, you have the nerve to tell others not to be lecherous?" Bulma said, her face full of disdain.

"Ahem..."

Hearing this, Master Roshi's face flushed instantly. After a few light coughs, he retorted, "Let's get going already!"

With that, the group boarded the plane piloted by Bulma and departed from Kame House.

"By the way, why don't we go pick up Upa? We're almost at the seventh Dragon Ball anyway!" Goku suddenly suggested.

"Sure! It's on the way to where we're going anyway!" Ziye nodded and said.

Afterward, with Bulma at the controls, the group flew for nearly an hour before arriving at the base of Korin Tower.

"Huh? Isn't this Korin Tower? The Upa you mentioned lives here?" Master Roshi rubbed his eyes and asked curiously.

"Mm..."

"Upa and his father have been guarding Korin Tower for generations!"

Goku nodded and replied.

"So, you two have challenged Korin Tower?" Master Roshi asked in surprise.

"Mm."

"Goku and I have already drunk the Ultra Divine Water there."

"Not only that, Ziye even traded two fish with Korin for a large jar of Senzu Beans."

Hearing the two speak so nonchalantly, Master Roshi was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor.

"What incredible little guys!"

"Is this Korin Tower really that amazing?"

Krillin asked, puzzled.

"Mm."

"As long as you climb it, you can gain great power!"

"My strength and Ziye's have improved a lot!" Goku nodded, saying with a serious expression.

"Really? Then I definitely have to come and challenge it when I get the chance!" Krillin said with a determined look.

"This is the place, Bulma. Let's land!"

"Alright."

Hearing Ziye's words, Bulma nodded and immediately began to maneuver the plane to descend slowly.

"Upa!"

"Goku... brother?"

Goku jumped off the plane and hurried toward Upa, the two of them embracing excitedly.

"Upa? We've already defeated the Red Ribbon Army. Once we find the seventh Dragon Ball, we can bring your father back to life!"

Goku said with an excited expression.

"What?"

"Goku, what did you just say?"

"Did you say the Red Ribbon Army?"

Bulma asked, her face full of surprise.

"Yeah."

"Those guys are all bad people. To steal the Dragon Balls, they actually sent Tao Pai Pai to kill Upa's father!" Goku said, his face full of anger.

"Tao Pai Pai? Is that the world's number one assassin, Tao Pai Pai?" Master Roshi asked in astonishment.

"Mm!"

"He and the rest of them have been wiped out by Ziye and me!" Goku nodded and said calmly.

"Wh... what?"

"What terrifying little guys!"

Master Roshi opened his mouth wide, saying in disbelief.

"I never imagined that the Red Ribbon Army, whom even the police couldn't handle, would actually lose to you guys!" Bulma also said, looking surprised.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Master Roshi, Bulma, Oolong, and Krillin!" Goku introduced them casually.

"H... hello!"

Krillin's face turned bright red, and he walked up shyly to greet her!

He then leaned into the ears of Goku and Ziye and whispered, "How did you two meet such a cute girl?"

Ziye: "????"

"I'm a boy!" Ziye couldn't help but roll his eyes as he spoke.

"Nani?"

Krillin shouted in embarrassment.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, leaving only Krillin standing there with a blushing, awkward face.

Afterward, the group boarded the plane once more and headed toward the location of Fortuneteller Baba. After flying for over an hour, they finally arrived at Fortuneteller Baba's palace!

"This must be the place."

Bulma said softly, then slowly began their descent.

"Hello, welcome! Please line up in an orderly fashion!"

Just after they stepped off the plane, a pink ghost suddenly floated over and addressed them.

"Excuse me, is this Fortuneteller Baba's home?" Krillin asked.

"You lot are together, right? Please wait in line here. I will notify you when it is your turn."

With that, the pink ghost floated back into the building.

"What a strange fellow!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream echoed from inside the house, and the expressions of the group changed drastically.

"Don't worry, follow me!"

Master Roshi chuckled, then led Ziye and the others straight inside.

"Hey! What gives you the right to cut in line!"

The moment they took a few steps, the surrounding crowd began to clamor loudly.

"Ignore them, let's go."

Master Roshi said indifferently, then led the group straight inside!

Stepping into the house, the previously bright view suddenly dimmed, and the eerie, gloomy environment made the group tremble.

"This place feels so terrifying!" Bulma gripped Ziye's arm, her heart filled with trepidation.

"Have guests arrived?"

At that moment, an old woman sitting on a crystal ball floated out from the room. Upon seeing them, she couldn't help but say with disdain, "Why is it you, you lecherous old man?"

"You old witch!"

"Lecherous old man!"

"Do these two have a grudge? Why are they bickering the moment they meet?" Krillin asked, puzzled.

"Fine, I won't argue with you! What business do you have here?" Fortuneteller Baba turned her head away and asked.

"Baba! Can you help me find something?" Goku asked excitedly.

"No problem!" Fortuneteller Baba nodded and agreed immediately.

"I didn't expect this old woman to be so easy to talk to!" Krillin couldn't help but remark in surprise.

"Hmph, you'll see in a moment!" Master Roshi said dismissively.

"However, I do require a fee."

"Ten million or so will do!" Fortuneteller Baba added.

"What? Ten million?"

Oolong and Krillin were immediately startled, shouting in shock.

"Is ten million a lot?"

Goku turned his head and asked calmly.

"It's not that much. It's a mere drop in the bucket for this young lady!" Bulma waved her hand, speaking with disdain.

"Is this enough?"

Suddenly, Ziye took out a massive ruby, placed it in front of Fortuneteller Baba, and asked.

"Enough, more than enough!"

Seeing the gem, Fortuneteller Baba's eyes lit up. She quickly tucked it away and said with a beaming smile.

ps: A note on the protagonist's age: because he transmigrated with his physical body and his body has shrunk, the protagonist doesn't know how old he is, so he is defined as being the same age as Bulma!
