I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong! (Three-Tailed Monkey side story · finale)

Zhang Ming drank a cup of Monkey Wine. Brewed from a hundred different kinds of fruit, it tasted rich and mellow, as smooth as velvet.

The flavors danced on his tongue, bringing an intoxicating sensation.

Whether its lively acidity or its full-bodied fruitiness, every note lingered long after the wine slipped down his throat.

He silently marveled, Among all the wines brewed by all the races in the Trade Market, this Monkey Wine deserves a place in the rankings!

Looks like the Monkey World does have its own specialties.

The Monkey Wine packed quite a kick and was rich in certain mysterious elements. He felt little effect, but the two youngsters drank a little too much and soon grew drowsy.

The monkeys, however, barely drank. They were all somewhat apprehensive, patiently watching Zhang Ming's expression.

He cleared his throat and got straight to the point. "Part of the reason I've come this time is to see you and help you solve a few minor difficulties."

"If you have any minor difficulties, just tell me."

"The other reason is to show you a bigger world and help you take a longer view."

"Your world is called the Three-Tailed Monkey World. Beyond it lie bigger worlds and more civilizations. I'm no god, either, just a traveler on the Demon God's Sea."

Zhang Ming took out paper and a pen and drew a map of the Demon God's Sea.

The monkeys looked at one another, only dimly understanding.

Zhang Ming gave a wry smile. "You might not understand what I'm saying now, but one day you will."

[And when you do, you'll realize that I, Old Zhang, am still damned impressive! You'll still have to call me Great Sage. Is that right, Mr. Zhang, an ordinary traveler?] Miss Gourd teased him quietly.

*Exactly!
