"Tricking" Sun Wukong with Chewing Gum

Inside Zi Hanyan's bedroom at the Purple Jade Into Mist villa.

At that moment, with those faint, suggestive pants filling the air, the atmosphere in the room was painfully awkward.

Jun Wangchen rubbed his nose and looked up at the ceiling, speechlessly appealing to the heavens.

Though his shamelessness could expand or contract, grow thick or thin, or even disappear altogether, even he couldn't help feeling embarrassed in a situation like this.

He had come to the campus beauty's home, used her computer, and then been caught by her watching dirty videos on it...

At that moment, Jun Wangchen's life was like a fly crashing into a window.

The future... was bright!

The way forward... didn't exist!

Zi Hanyan's mind went completely blank. Her face looked as though it had been smeared with tomatoes, so red it seemed about to bleed.

"Jun Wangchen, what's going on?"

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Is the internet really this filthy nowadays?" Jun Wangchen panicked inwardly. His eyes darted around before his expression darkened, and he slammed the desk.

"Zi Hanyan, your computer must have a virus. These obscene images appeared because something breached your firewall. I'll install antivirus software for you in a moment so this won't happen again."

"Huh? Oh, okay. Thank you, Jun Wangchen!" Zi Hanyan blinked in confusion and answered with adorable bewilderment.

Jun Wangchen puffed out his chest, looking utterly righteous. "No need to thank me. I despise people who spread obscene videos more than anything. They'd better hope I never catch them, or I'll beat those bastards to death with two punches. They're not even human!"

With that, Jun Wangchen straightened himself and moved to shut down the computer.

Unfortunately, he moved too quickly and accidentally stepped on Zi Hanyan's skirt.

Riiip!

A tearing sound rang out, and with one sliding step, Jun Wangchen actually yanked Zi Hanyan's bottoms right down.

"Ah!" Feeling a chill below her waist, Zi Hanyan looked down. When she realized she was wearing nothing but her panties down there, her entire face flushed scarlet, and she covered her face with an embarrassed cry.

Jun Wangchen's gaze swept over the lace trim. Heat surged inside his nose, needing only the slightest push to become a nosebleed.

"I'm sorry, Zi Hanyan! I'll pull it back up right away!"

With his eyes practically glowing with desire, Jun Wangchen dared not hesitate. He hurried forward, grabbed Zi Hanyan's skirt, and prepared to pull it up.

Creak!

Misfortune never came alone. At this awkward, suggestive moment, someone suddenly pushed open the bedroom door.

"Miss, that hangover remedy was a little hot. You can first..." Uncle Fang had just begun to remind Zi Hanyan when the scene before him left him frozen in place.

In front of him, Jun Wangchen was crouching before Zi Hanyan, holding her bottoms in his hands.

Meanwhile...

"Uncle Fang, it's not what you..."

"How strange. Why isn't Miss in her room? Could she have... gone to look after Madam? Yes, that's possible. Madam has been sleepy these past few days, and naturally, her daughter would be concerned. I'll go look for her in Madam's room." Zi Hanyan had wanted to explain, but Uncle Fang blinked in puzzlement, acting as though he hadn't seen anything in the room, and answered his own questions.

With that, under their dumbfounded gazes, Uncle Fang slowly walked out and closed the door behind him.

The instant he shut the door, Uncle Fang broke into a cold sweat. "Oh no, oh no! I interrupted Miss's fun at such a crucial moment. She'll definitely scold me to death later. I'd better get out of here and explain things once she comes out."

Filled with anxiety, Uncle Fang took a few long strides and hurried downstairs.

Inside the room, Zi Hanyan wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it. Although it was a misunderstanding, Uncle Fang had witnessed such an embarrassing scene that anyone would have been too ashamed to face him.

"Jun Wangchen, you must never tell anyone about this, or I'll knock you stupid!" Zi Hanyan gave him a bashful glare, pulled her skirt back on, and fled the room.

Only belatedly grasping what had happened, Jun Wangchen felt like crying.

Oh heavens, what the heck are you doing?

I was having such a lovely day. Why did you have to pull something like this?

Was a refined, spotless man like me, with no messy past and nothing but handsomeness defining his entire life, really going to acquire a lifelong stain today?

Alas!

What a tragedy!

"Life is like the evening news. You can't skip it just by changing channels. When you fall, get back up before you cry!" Jun Wangchen shook his head in sorrow, having accepted reality.

Since it had already happened, he could only let things take their course and go give Zi Hanyan a proper apology first.

Having decided that, Jun Wangchen shut down the Heaven Shadow Computer, straightened his clothes, and prepared to leave Zi Hanyan's bedroom.

Beep, beep, beep!

He had just stepped out of the bedroom when the Groundhog Phone in his pocket suddenly chimed.

Jun Wangchen paused, then quickly took out the Groundhog Phone and opened WeChat.

Sure enough, someone on his friends list was messaging him.

Sun Wukong: "Nameless brat, you there?"

"Sun Wukong?" Once he saw who was displayed in the chat window, Jun Wangchen was startled, then immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I'm here! What brings you here so suddenly, Great Sage?"

Sun Wukong: "Let me ask you something. Did that QQ Candy the Old Lord has come from you?"

Jun Wangchen blinked and replied, "Yes, I gave him the QQ Candy."

"Good. Hurry up and get me a few hundred more bags. I haven't had my fill yet." Sun Wukong was delighted and made his demand without the slightest concern for reason.

Jun Wangchen's eyes shifted as he invented an excuse. "Great Sage, QQ Candy is extremely scarce where we live. I only obtained the bag I gave the Old Lord by chance while passing through a secret realm."

"How could that be?" Sun Wukong was rather disappointed. In his tens of thousands of years as a god, he had rarely encountered anything like QQ Candy, whose flavor lingered endlessly in his mouth after he ate it.

"Are you sure you really don't have any left? If you do, you must bring it out. I can trade you something for it."

Reading that message, Jun Wangchen's lips quietly curved upward.

That was exactly what I was waiting for!

Without a second thought, Jun Wangchen typed, "Great Sage, I really don't have any QQ Candy left, but I do have something else that tastes just as good. Would you like some?"

"Send it over!" Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he urged him on.

Jun Wangchen didn't hesitate. He immediately took out the chewing gum he carried with him, scanned it, and sent it to Sun Wukong as a red packet.

When Sun Wukong received the chewing gum, the unfamiliar item immediately piqued his curiosity. "Brat, what is this?"

"This is called chewing gum. It uses natural gum or glycerol resin as its base, mixed and pressed with syrup, mint, sweeteners, and other ingredients to make a candy people chew in their mouths. You can both eat it and play with it. It's perfect for someone as tall and heroic as you." Jun Wangchen flattered him as he typed.

Sun Wukong asked curiously, "You can eat it and play with it? How do you play with it?"

Jun Wangchen paused, opened his browser, and searched Baidu for ways to play with chewing gum. Then he copied the results and sent them to Sun Wukong.

"To think you can even do that! What a remarkable item. Wait a moment. I'll try a piece first." The more Sun Wukong read, the more amazed he became. Once he finished, he immediately tipped out a piece of gum and put it in his mouth.

After a few chews, Sun Wukong felt a cool sensation sweep through his mouth. Mixed into that coolness was an intriguing sweetness that left a lingering aftertaste.

Recalling how to play with it, Sun Wukong chewed hard, then gently blew.

In an instant, something resembling a balloon emerged from his mouth. It was wonderfully novel.

Sun Wukong froze at the sight, his eyes widening as amazement welled up inside him.

Something this delicious and fun actually existed in this world?

"Great Sage, how is the chewing gum?" After estimating that enough time had passed, Jun Wangchen typed his question.

Sun Wukong suppressed his astonishment and gave a thumbs-up. "Excellent! This chewing gum is so delicious and fun. I never imagined you would bring out such a wondrous item just to satisfy my appetite. I'm truly touched.

"Since you've done so well, you're my good friend from today onward. Tell me, what would you like? As long as it's within my means, I'll get it for you in exchange."

Jun Wangchen instantly perked up. After considering what he wanted, he typed, "Thank you, Great Sage! I've long heard that your body is like black iron, that you're immortal and never age, that your Fiery Golden Eyes can distinguish demons and monsters, that your seventy-two transformations are incomparably marvelous, and that a single somersault cloud carries you a hundred and eight thousand li. It's truly my honor to be your friend.

"I don't hope to reach your heights. I only ask that you teach me some combat techniques. Even attaining one ten-thousandth of your strength would be enough."

He had won his fight with Yi Tianchou today partly because his spiritual power was strong and partly because he had many support skills. In terms of combat experience or technique, he was absolutely no match for his opponent.

So, at this stage, besides increasing his strength, the most important thing was to improve his combat techniques. That way, he wouldn't be left in such a sorry state when he encountered experts in the future.

And when it came to combat techniques, Sun Wukong could certainly rank among the top three in the Divine Realm. After all, he had battled countless demons and monsters on his journey west to retrieve the scriptures. If Jun Wangchen could obtain his combat techniques, he would find it hard to lose against anyone at the same cultivation level. Even against someone several levels higher, he would still be able to put up a fight.

Sun Wukong frowned. "Combat techniques aren't something you acquire overnight. They come from fighting day after day, year after year. Everyone has their own combat techniques. It was only after battling all sorts of demons and monsters throughout my journey west that I developed techniques uniquely suited to me.

"Besides, my combat techniques are extremely aggressive. You need a powerful body and considerable strength just to barely execute one or two of them. Even if I shared them with you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to master them. You might even suffer cultivation deviation."

Jun Wangchen couldn't help feeling disappointed, but it made sense when he thought about it. Combat techniques were methods a person developed through fighting. If they were so easy to obtain, wouldn't everyone be able to transcend the ordinary and become a sage?

Since he couldn't obtain combat techniques directly, Jun Wangchen didn't dwell on it. Recalling the martial skills Yi Tianchou had used in their fight today, his eyes lit up, and he typed, "Great Sage, it's fine if I can't obtain combat techniques directly. But I'm sorely lacking combat skills right now. Do you have any of those?"

"Combat skills?" Sun Wukong scratched his fur and replied helplessly, "My combat skills are too ferocious. My master warned me not to teach them to anyone, or they could easily suffer a backlash."

Jun Wangchen was close to tears. My dear Great Sage, you really don't have anything I ask for.

Just then, Sun Wukong sent another message. "Oh, I've got it! I remember a lower immortal named Wang Xizhi gave me a copy of his life's ultimate art, the Scripture of the Sage of Calligraphy, a few days ago. It apparently lets you attack with written words and is extremely powerful. Want to give it a try?"

"Attack with written words?" Jun Wangchen was startled, then immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, yes!"

As the Sage of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi was a towering figure in both scholarship and calligraphy. How could the Scripture of the Sage of Calligraphy, his life's ultimate art after becoming an immortal, possibly be poor?

Seeing that Jun Wangchen wanted the Scripture of the Sage of Calligraphy, Sun Wukong didn't hesitate and immediately sent it to him as a red packet.

"Brat, keep working hard. From now on, I've got your back. If anyone dares bully you, just tell them my name. Now I'm going to take this chewing gum and tease that fool Bajie with it. We'll talk next time." Sun Wukong sent the message, then went offline.

Jun Wangchen said nothing further. He eagerly opened his wallet and tapped the treasure chest containing the Scripture of the Sage of Calligraphy.

"Immortal skill: Scripture of the Sage of Calligraphy. Learn?"

"Learn!"
