The Useless Monkey
Upon hearing the news of the Red Fox Demon King's death, the Demon Tiger Demon King was not saddened by his passing, but rather enraged by his actions.
"However, I still want to thank you for being willing to make an exception for my elder brother."
The Demon Tiger Demon King then bowed to Sun Wukong regarding this matter.
"Demon Tiger Demon King, there's no need for that. If there's nothing else, I'll take my monkey brethren and return to my territory."
Sun Wukong bid farewell to the Blurred Demon King.
"Take care, brother. If you have the chance, come visit often and perhaps offer some guidance on my cultivation."
The Demon King quickly rose to see him off.
I will definitely come if I have the chance.
After exchanging pleasantries with the Blurred Demon King, Sun Wukong enlarged his mount, the Somersault Cloud, several times its original size, carried all his fellow Monkey Clan on board, and then piloted the Somersault Cloud towards the Water Curtain Cave.
To prevent the red envelopes from being blown away by the wind, Sun Wukong deliberately made the Somersault Cloud return at a much slower speed than Sun Wukong had come.
Sun Wukong manipulated his Somersault Cloud and flew for nearly an hour before finally bringing the little monkeys into the Monkey Clan's new stronghold, the Water Curtain Cave.
"Stone Monkey, is this the new home you found for us?"
As soon as they entered the Water Curtain Cave, Zhuzi excitedly asked Sun Wukong about it.
The other little monkeys ran around and jumped about, full of curiosity about everything there.
After they had seen enough, they surrounded Sun Wukong, as if they wanted to say something to him.
"Chief, come quickly and calm these little monkeys I just rescued. They seem to have a lot to say. I have to go now, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Upon seeing their formation, Sun Wukong felt a headache coming on and immediately called out loudly to the clan chief inside the Water Curtain Cave.
"They're here, they're here. They can't possibly eat you up."
At this moment, the chief of the Monkey Clan, leaning on a stick, swayed and walked towards Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong saw the chief coming, he quickly summoned his Somersault Cloud and flew directly out of the Water Curtain Cave.
Then, Sun Wukong maneuvered his Somersault Cloud and flew straight towards the location of the Eastern Jiaolong King.
Without the group of little monkeys slowing him Somersault Cloud, he went all out. However, due to the training period, Sun Wukong had already arrived at the Jiaolong King's cave.
When he arrived, he found that in a large open space in front of the Jiaolong King's cave, the Jiaolong King was standing on a platform, directing all sorts of little monsters to train below.
He originally wanted to go up and ask the Jiaolong King and the others to stop for a while, so that he could have a match with the Jiaolong King's student.
He was just about to step forward and bring up the matter with the Jiaolong King, but what happened next made him decide to wait and see.
At this moment, the monkeys being trained by the Jiaolong King in the training ground, except for Dazhuang, all the other little monkeys moved in perfect unison. But Dazhuang was very out of place among the other monkeys around him.
While the other monkeys went east, he went west; while the other monkeys chased dogs, he chased chickens.
In short, no matter what others did, he was either faster or slower than them, never keeping pace with them. At this moment, the Jiaolong King, who was sitting on the high platform, drinking tea and training his troops, was furious, trembling with anger, and crushed the cup in his hand into powder.
At this moment, the Jiaolong King suddenly stood up, grabbed a teapot from the table, smashed it onto the training ground, and began to curse Dazhuang.
"Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? Why are you always so out of sync with your little monkeys? They can all do such simple instructions right, why can't you?"
"Although I'm the one who captured you, I haven't mistreated or abused you since then. From the day I brought you here, I've taught you cultivation methods and guided your training so you can quickly become demons and gain a longer life. I've been so good to you, why is it that everyone else appreciates it, but you don't?"
The Jiaolong King's curses echoed through the sky, and he would occasionally let out a roar to vent his anger. The Jiaolong King cursed so much in one breath without stopping.
Then, seemingly pulling out a teapot from somewhere, he poured the tea down his throat to moisten it before plopping down and panting heavily, as if his anger hadn't been fully vented.
After a while, he stood up again and looked at Dazhuang with a serious expression.
"Hmm, little monkey, tell me, were those few moves difficult? I had so many of you monkeys stand in five rows and five columns, and I even put you in the very middle, so that no matter which side you were facing, you could imitate the moves the monkeys in front of you were doing."
"I didn't blame you for being a slow learner, but when I asked you to copy some homework and imitate your classmate's actions, you told me you couldn't even do that."
The Jiaolong King paced back and forth on the high platform, loudly reprimanding Dazhuang, the monkey in the center.
However, Dazhuang continued acting as usual, while on stage, a man picked his nose and looked at the Jiaolong King with a displeased expression.
"Ever since I captured you all a few years ago, I've taught all of you monkeys a set of boxing techniques. Ten days later, some of the other little monkeys have learned them all, some have learned most of them, and those who haven't learned them have almost memorized all the moves. But you? You haven't even learned the first move, and you haven't even memorized it."
"This set of boxing techniques only has 10 moves in total. One move a day, even someone with a bad memory should be able to memorize all the moves after 10 days. Even if they can't memorize them all, they should be able to learn one or two moves. But you, you haven't memorized a single move, and you haven't learned a single move."
At this point, the Jiaolong King's expression became extremely ferocious, all because of Dazhuang.
"I've tried so hard to memorize and learn every single chapter, but I'm just not smart enough to learn or remember this boxing technique."
At this moment, Dazhuang was picking his nose, looking very arrogant, and said to the Jiaolong King with a righteous indignation.
"You still have the nerve to say you're stupid and can't remember things? Ever since the day I brought you back, every time we feed you, you're always the first one to run to the front and eat the most. You can eat the portion of two or three monkeys' worth of food. You're a complete glutton, good for nothing but eating."
"You said you had a set of ten fist techniques, and it's understandable that you can't remember them. Now I'm going to teach you that's not even a staff technique, but the most basic requirements for wielding a staff. There are only four moves in total."
"The other monkeys learned it in less than half a day, but you've been at it for three or four days and still haven't learned it. If you can't learn it, fine, but when we ask you to practice with them, you just deliberately cause trouble."
