Chapter 22: The Champion's Reward: Moments of Happiness
On a day of brilliant sunshine and gentle breezes, the wedding of Sun Wukong, Chi-Chi, and Bulma was held grandly across a vast, boundless meadow. The clear blue sky resembled a polished gemstone, and the breeze drifted leisurely, causing the emerald grass to sway like nimble dancers as if performing for this magnificent celebration. The venue was incredibly lively, with cheers and laughter rising and falling like surging ocean waves, echoing joyfully in every corner.
Krillin stood amidst the crowd, a look of pure happiness blooming on his face that shone brighter than the sun itself; he was genuinely overjoyed for Sun Wukong. Master Roshi arrived slowly, accompanied by his faithful companion, Sea Turtle. The old man's wrinkled face was wreathed in smiles, his eyes squinting into thin slits as he let his inner joy show without reservation. Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu were also in the crowd; Tien Shinhan's unique third eye radiated a sincere and warm light, while Chiaotzu hopped and skipped, waving his hands happily to offer his most sincere and beautiful wishes to Sun Wukong. Yamcha stood to the side with a haughty expression, muttering, "This Sun Wukong, to actually marry two women at once." Yet, beneath his seemingly dissatisfied gaze, he clearly revealed deep blessings and envy for his friend.
Other friends darted and played throughout the wedding site, their crisp, loud laughter spreading across the entire meadow. Piccolo stood quietly a short distance away, his green skin appearing particularly unique under the warm, gentle sunlight, like a piece of polished jade. His gaze was firm and focused, filled with blessings and expectations for Sun Wukong.
The wedding stage was decorated like a dream, as if a fairyland had descended to the mortal realm. Countless flowers clustered together, forming a magnificent sea of blossoms, while colorful ribbons fluttered lightly in the wind, as if whispering romantic secrets. Sun Wukong wore a gorgeous white tuxedo; its exquisite tailoring and dazzling decorations made him look even more handsome and extraordinary. Chi-Chi and Bulma stood on either side of him, their wedding dresses as white as snow, the hems inlaid with countless shimmering diamonds that sparkled under the sunlight. They looked like two fairies descended from the heavens, beautiful and intoxicating. Sun Wukong gazed affectionately at his two lovers, his heart overflowing with happiness and gratitude; his burning gaze seemed capable of melting all things, leaving only the three of them in the entire world.
As the wedding ceremony proceeded with solemn order, melodic music flowed like a babbling brook, gently soaking into everyone's hearts. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause of the crowd, Sun Wukong, Chi-Chi, and Bulma held hands and walked joyfully into the meticulously prepared bridal chamber. The room was filled with a faint floral scent—the fragrance of love. Candlelight flickered in every corner like bright stars in the night sky, lighting the way for their long journey ahead. The floor was covered in delicate rose petals, each one seemingly whispering the sweetness and warmth of their love.
The three sat together, leaning on one another, and began to recall the unforgettable moments of their past. Sun Wukong's thoughts drifted back to his childhood living with his grandfather, Sun Gohan. Those simple yet happy days were like a warm spring breeze, gently brushing his heart and filling him with endless warmth and nostalgia. He remembered the patience and love his grandfather showed while teaching him martial arts, and the sweat and laughter they shared while working in the fields; those ordinary yet warm scenes had become the most precious treasures in his heart. Chi-Chi blushed slightly as she recounted the journey of how she and Sun Wukong met and came to know each other. From the red-faced arguments at the beginning to the mutual understanding of their later love, every moment was like a brilliant pearl embedded deep in her memory, impossible to forget. Bulma also recalled their adventures together; those days full of challenges and surprises were the brightest gems in her life. The journey to find the Dragon Balls, the various dangers and hardships they encountered, and the way they supported and grew together in adversity all filled her with deep emotion.
In these warm, beautiful, and intoxicating memories, the bond between the three grew even deeper, like fine wine that becomes more mellow with age. Sun Wukong gazed affectionately at Chi-Chi and Bulma, his eyes filled with an intense, unbreakable love, as if they were the only two people left in the world. He gently took their hands and said in a soft, firm voice, "Having you by my side is the greatest fortune of my life. I will spend my entire life protecting you and giving you endless happiness." Chi-Chi and Bulma looked at each other and smiled, tears of emotion shimmering in their eyes, their hearts full of happiness and contentment. Afterward, on this romantic night filled with love, they began a new chapter of their lives together, the room permeated with the intoxicating scent of sweetness and joy.
Time flew by like a white horse passing a crack in a wall. Nine months passed in the blink of an eye, and Chi-Chi successfully gave birth to a cute son for Sun Wukong, whom they named Sun Gohan. As soon as the little guy arrived in the world, he opened his bright, clear eyes, curiously observing this novel world. His chubby cheeks were rosy, like ripe apples, making one want to give them a kiss. Sun Wukong held Sun Gohan, his face radiating the joy and pride of a new father; his brilliant smile seemed capable of lighting up the whole world. At the same time, Bulma also gave birth to a well-behaved daughter for Sun Wukong, named Sun Bra. Sun Bra inherited Bulma's intelligence and Sun Wukong's bravery and tenacity, becoming the apple of the family's eye from the moment she was born. Looking at these two cute children, Sun Wukong's heart was filled with joy and a sense of responsibility. He secretly vowed to use all his strength to protect them and let them grow up happy and healthy in an environment full of love.
At this moment of joy and happiness, Sun Wukong decided to collect the seven Dragon Balls and summon the dragon to fulfill a long-held wish. Hearing this, everyone enthusiastically offered their help. Some used their vast connections to search for the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls, while others used their unique abilities to sense their locations. Through their concerted efforts, the seven Dragon Balls were soon gathered. With a dazzling burst of light, the giant and majestic dragon appeared before them.
Sun Wukong looked at the dragon with a respectful and pious expression and said, "O Shenron, I wish to ask about the status of my parents. Is it possible to transport them to Earth?"
The dragon's massive body circled in the sky, its voice deep and majestic, echoing like an ancient bell: "Sun Wukong, your father traveled to a thousand years in the past before the explosion of Planet Vegeta, and your mother unfortunately passed away during the explosion. My power is limited, and I cannot fulfill this wish. I was created by Kami, and my abilities are restricted by him."
After hearing this, a trace of undisguised disappointment appeared on Sun Wukong's face, but his firm will soon allowed him to recover. He said with a determined gaze, "Then, can I use a wish to gain the ability to create Dragon Balls and create a Chinese Shenron? Perhaps the Chinese Shenron can fulfill my wish."
The dragon heard Sun Wukong's idea and, after a moment of silence, said, "This is possible."
Immediately, the dragon's body erupted with light, like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire sky. The dragon fulfilled Sun Wukong's wish and then transformed into seven Dragon Balls and departed. Relying on the magical ability he had gained from the wish, Sun Wukong created his own set of Dragon Balls according to his vision. When he chanted the incantation full of anticipation, "Come forth, Chinese Shenron, and fulfill my wish," the sky lit up with a brilliant, magnificent light that shot straight into the clouds, and a mighty and majestic Chinese Shenron appeared before everyone.
The Chinese Shenron's body was so massive it seemed to cover the sky. The scales on its body shimmered with colorful light, each one like the most precious gemstone in the world, flowing with brilliant, dazzling radiance. Its whiskers fluttered in the wind like soft ribbons, elegant and mysterious. Its eyes were sharp and piercing, containing endless wisdom and unfathomable power, making one feel awe and even fear to look directly at it.
Sun Wukong bowed respectfully, his attitude humble and pious, and said, "Respected Chinese Shenron, I hope you can fulfill my wish and bring my parents to my side."
The Chinese Shenron nodded slightly, its voice ringing out like a great bell, shaking everyone's hearts: "Kakarot, your filial piety is moving. I will fulfill your wish."
With a flash of brilliant, enchanting light, Sun Wukong's parents, Bardock and Gine, appeared before them. Sun Wukong was as excited as a child; he flew forward and hugged his parents tightly, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world went quiet, save for the sound of their family weeping in each other's arms.
Bardock looked at Sun Wukong, who had grown into an adult and a powerhouse of his generation, his eyes filled with relief and pride. He patted Sun Wukong's shoulder with his rough palm and said, "Son, you have become an incredible warrior. Dad is so proud of you."
Gine gently stroked Sun Wukong's face, her tears falling like broken beads: "My child, Mom missed you so much. You must have gone through many storms and suffered a lot over these years."
Sun Wukong hugged his parents tightly, pouring out his years of longing and concern, his voice choked with emotion: "Dad, Mom, I thought of you every single day. I have so many, many things I want to tell you."
Afterward, the Chinese Shenron said, "My mission is complete. I will remain by your side in the form of seven Dragon Balls. When you need me, simply gather the Dragon Balls and chant the incantation, and I shall appear once more."
Sun Wukong and the others thanked the dragon profusely and carefully collected the seven Dragon Balls of the Chinese Shenron.
From then on, Sun Wukong continued his happy and challenging life in the Dragon Ball World with his family and friends. Every day was filled with laughter and warmth, and their story became the most moving and beautiful legend in the Dragon Ball World, forever circulating on this magical land.
