Qian Renxue turned without hesitation and fled toward the Earth God Temple.
This monkey is definitely not someone to provoke, but I can hide from him.
No matter how wild he is, surely he won't come smash up my temple?
Then Qian Renxue thought, Should I pay my superior a visit?
The two thoughts fought furiously in her mind.
After a month of peace, the Douluo Continent finally boiled over again.
"What is she waiting for? Hurry up and see what the Handsome Monkey King looks like! Go latch onto that powerful backer!"
"That might not be an easy leg to cling to. The Handsome Monkey King has a bad temper."
"Hurry up! I want to see a heavenly official's splendor."
The people of the Douluo Continent were even more excited than Qian Renxue.
This was a heavenly official who had descended from the Heavenly Court, who knew how many times more powerful than the City God, and he had even fought his way into the Underworld.
Even if his fighting strength wasn't at the pinnacle of the Primordial World, it definitely ranked among the best.
Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu's brows were tightly knitted. Putting himself in her shoes, he thought that if he were Qian Renxue, he would find himself in a difficult position too.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the corners of Ning Fengzhi's mouth curled slightly.
"Spirit Hall's young mistress probably won't get through this easily. Someone like the Handsome Monkey King likely wouldn't allow another god to exist in his territory."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo nodded.
That was a normal line of thinking.
Meanwhile, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect was roaring, wishing the Handsome Monkey King would smash Qian Renxue to death with a single punch.
Qian Renxue had lived far too comfortably this past month, her strength improving every day.
These rats simply couldn't stand it.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, "Is he about to appear? A senior of our beast race."
If they hadn't been worried about exposing themselves, the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian would have practically pressed themselves against the Light Screen to watch.
Now this was a king among beasts. The only thing to complain about was his lack of Dragon Clan blood.
In the Primordial World, on Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Inside the Earth God Temple, Qian Renxue was wrestling with herself when the little monkey who had been bringing her fruit suddenly ran in.
"Earth Granny, come out! The king summons you!"
It's over. There's no dodging this. No need to agonize anymore.
Qian Renxue rubbed her face and arranged a natural smile before showing herself.
"Does the Handsome Monkey King wish to see this humble god?"
"Yes. Hurry over."
Qian Renxue followed the little monkey into the depths of Flower-Fruit Mountain, somewhere she had never been before.
The spiritual qi here was so dense that a single breath made her feel comfortable all over.
Soon, they arrived before a waterfall. Monkeys filled the grass in front of it and crouched all over the branches.
These monkeys were actually having a feast.
Qian Renxue's nose twitched. She smelled wine, and even just sniffing it left her a little dizzy.
The spiritual power inside her began circulating furiously on its own.
But Qian Renxue had no attention to spare for that, because she had spotted the golden figure seated on the throne at a glance.
It was a monkey covered in golden fur, wearing the Golden Chainmail Armor, the Phoenix-Winged Purple-Gold Crown on his head, and the Lotus Silk Cloud-Treading Shoes on his feet.
He lay on a throne carved from stone, both legs bent toward the sky, holding up an exquisite wine flask and pouring wine through the air into his mouth.
The clear wine soaked his fur, its fresh fragrance continually challenging Qian Renxue's understanding.
This blasted monkey. Just smelling this wine makes me feel like I'm about to break through, and he's wasting it like that?
Qian Renxue swallowed hard.
She discovered that it wasn't just the wine. Even the peaches these monkeys were eating were extraordinary.
Had you ever seen peaches glowing purple? Just smelling them made spiritual qi seem to burrow ceaselessly into her body.
In short, every moment set her nerves twitching.
Just then, the Handsome Monkey King suddenly put down his wine cup, sat upright, and looked toward Qian Renxue.
For the first time, Qian Renxue got a clear look at the Handsome Monkey King's appearance.
He truly deserved the name Handsome Monkey King. In bearing and form, he was better-looking than anyone Qian Renxue had ever seen. Even though she was human, she found this monkey handsome.
This beauty had already transcended the boundaries of species.
Perhaps this is what Earth Granny meant when she said that no naturally born spiritual being was ugly.
Qian Renxue sighed inwardly. She had thought herself very beautiful, yet she hadn't expected to fall short of even a monkey.
Sun Wukong also froze for a moment upon seeing Qian Renxue. She was different from the Earth Gods he had seen before.
"Hey, you're Flower-Fruit Mountain's new Earth God?"
Qian Renxue came back to herself and hurriedly bowed.
"This humble god greets her superior."
"Heh heh heh~"
Sun Wukong waved his hand. "All that fancy wording is no fun. Just call Old Sun the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
"Yes. This humble god greets the Great Sage."
Qian Renxue meekly accepted everything, not daring to resist in the slightest.
Sun Wukong was very satisfied with her good sense and immediately swept his hand.
"My little ones, hurry and show our guest to her seat!"
"Take a seat, take a seat, take a seat!"
Like little lunatics, the monkeys crowded around Qian Renxue and ushered her to a table near Sun Wukong.
Half-resisting and half-yielding, Qian Renxue sat down, secretly swallowing as she looked at the peaches on the table.
"Heh heh, everyone's here. Old Sun raises a cup!"
Sun Wukong stood up and drained a cup of wine before saying:
"Today is a joyous day for Old Sun, and I've specially invited the Earth God here as a witness."
Qian Renxue shot to her feet. She suddenly had a bad feeling, but before she could speak, Sun Wukong swept his hand, and a great banner unfurled behind him.
Qian Renxue immediately looked over.
"Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"
"That's right. When I went to Heaven to serve as an official, the Great Heavenly Venerable personally conferred that title on me. There's even a Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Mansion for me in the Heavenly Court!"
Planting a foot on his chair, Sun Wukong said something that made Qian Renxue explode on the spot. "Old Sun has rebelled and left Heaven again."
"The Heavenly Court held a grand Peach Banquet without even notifying Old Sun. In a fit of anger, I ruined all the Heavenly Court's Peaches of Immortality, then sneaked into the Peach Banquet and brought all those peaches back."
"Old Sun has decided not to serve as an official in Heaven anymore. Today, with the Earth God as my witness, I declare that from now on, Old Sun will only be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
At those words, the monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain acted as though they were high on drugs.
"Equal to Heaven! Equal to Heaven! Equal to Heaven!"
"Great Sage! Great Sage! Great Sage!"
Qian Renxue stood rooted to the spot. Although she wasn't dead yet, she felt her body stiffen.
She had only one thought now.
Who the fuck am I to witness your rebellion?
"Earth God, do you have something to say?"
Sun Wukong's monkey head suddenly thrust in front of Qian Renxue. His eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world, nearly frightening her into falling over.
"Great Sage, shouldn't you reconsider this...?"
"No need to reconsider!"
Sun Wukong swept his hand, and a flask of wine and a peach landed in Qian Renxue's hands.
"All right, go back where you came from. Guard Flower-Fruit Mountain's gates properly for Old Sun, or I won't let you off!"
Qian Renxue wanted to curse Sun Wukong inwardly, but looking at the wine and peach in her hands, she felt that he really was fucking loyal to his friends.
If she wasn't mistaken, this was a Peach of Immortality, wasn't it? Sun Wukong had said so himself just now. She simply didn't know what grade it was.
Qian Renxue's feelings were extraordinarily complicated. Having accepted such great benefits, how could she report Sun Wukong's rebellion now?
A mere eighth-rank Earth God like her really couldn't endure this sort of ordeal.
What a pity, Great Sage Sun. With such good treatment, why become a thief?
Qian Renxue didn't even dare imagine the consequences.
"Hmm? Why are you still here disturbing my little ones' feast?"
Sun Wukong's gleaming eyes turned toward Qian Renxue again.
"Could it be that you think Old Sun gave you too little?"
