The Miserable Sun Wukong

However, he had no way to deal with it. Whenever he felt bored with his cultivation, Sun Wukong would go to sleep, and in his dreams he would always find some unexpected pleasure.

Once, in Sun Wukong's dream, he got rid of the heavy burden of the Five Fingers Mountain on his back, returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain, and became his king again in the Water Curtain Cave.

The moment he returned, the little monkeys excitedly surrounded him and brought him all the food in the cave.

After he sat down in his seat, he drank the passion fruit wine that a little monkey had brought him.

Suddenly, someone splashed water all over his face. He was about to get angry and see who was being so naughty when he woke up. It turned out that a sudden downpour had started, and the rain was hitting his face, making him mistakenly think that someone had splashed water on him in his dream.

The bitterness in Sun Wukong's heart suddenly arose from nowhere, and he didn't know where it would end.

He didn't want to see this scene before him, so he forced himself to fall asleep, trying to numb himself with a dream.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes and entered a dream, he saw a terrifying scene: the Dragon King of the East Sea came to him demanding his Law Treasure, and he was not in the Water Curtain Cave.

The Dragon King of the East Sea flooded Flower-Fruit Mountain with seawater, forcing all the little monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave out.

Some of the baby monkeys couldn't swim, and they kept bobbing up and down on the surface of the sea, struggling and looking very pained.

Upon seeing this scene, Sun Wukong repeatedly shouted to the Dragon King of the East Sea to stop.

However, the Dragon King of the East Sea ignored him and continued to attack his fellow Monkey Clan. Sun Wukong wanted to say something to the Dragon King of the East Sea, but then he woke up.

After having a nightmare, Sun Wukong felt a little melancholy. Then, he worried about whether the little monkey in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain would be bullied by other monsters.

In order to protect them from being bullied by other monsters, Sun Wukong abandoned his intention to continue sleeping.

Instead, he chose to enter a state of seclusion to cultivate diligently, but this seclusion took him several decades.

Although he felt refreshed after waking up, a wave of mental fatigue soon followed.

It pulled him straight into a dream, in which he returned to his days as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the Heavenly Court.

With the mindset that if it happens once, it will happen again, so Sun Wukong once again ventured into the Peach Garden and began eating the peaches inside.

While Sun Wukong was enjoying the peaches of immortality in his dream, Nezha arrived to visit Sun Wukong just as he was waiting outside.

And so, the following events unfolded.

Nezha wasn't good at comforting people, so he could only watch helplessly as Sun Wukong continued to cry until about fifteen minutes later when Sun Wukong finally calmed down and stopped crying.

After Sun Wukong stopped crying, he wiped away his tears and started gnawing on the roast chicken in front of him again.

Nezha didn't rush to say anything to Sun Wukong, but quietly stood aside and waited for Sun Wukong to finish eating the roast chicken.

"By the way, Ou Ba, have you ever visited my Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain over the years?"

Are all the little monkeys alright?

"Have any other monsters bullied them over the years?"

After finishing the roast chicken, Sun Wukong seemed to remember something and asked Nezha about the little monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Great Sage, don't worry about that. All the little monkeys you drew in the landscape series are doing quite well."

"After you were suppressed, I wanted to visit you first, but when I arrived here, I found that the gods there were watching you, so I had no choice but to leave."

Then I realized that without you, the little monkeys on Flower-Fruit Mountain would have no one to rely on, and they would worry about your safety.

So I went over and made up a reason, saying that you were traveling and improving your strength, and specifically instructed me to take care of them.

"Then I told your old clan chief the real situation and left him a stack of talismans that could be used to deliver messages to me."

Tell him to light the talisman whenever he's in danger, summoning me to come and help.

"Over the years, I have visited them from time to time and protected their safety. During this time, a leopard demon and a two-headed lion dared to invade your Water Curtain Cave."

"Those two Demon Beasts that threatened the safety of those little monkeys were captured and killed by me."

"None of the monkeys on Flower-Fruit Mountain died because of this; I've protected them all very well, so you can rest assured about that."

After hearing Sun Wukong's question, Nezha proudly patted his chest and told Sun Wukong that although he hadn't visited him all these years, he had taken good care of the little monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave.

"Look, this is the passion fruit wine they gave me. I visited them not long ago and helped them resolve the problem with that two-headed lion. After leaving there..."

"I thought I'd come here to see if those two immortals sent down by the Jade Emperor are still here. If they're not, then I'll come back and catch up with you properly."

"When I arrived here, those two immortals were already gone, so I went to the nearest market to buy you some food and brought it over so we could catch up and have a good chat."

Fearing that Sun Wukong wouldn't believe him, he took out the passion wine that the little monkeys had brewed for him and poured it in front of Sun Wukong so that he could smell it.

"How could I not believe you? You're my good brother. I wouldn't trust anyone else, but I would never choose not to trust you."

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, finding Nezha's behavior both amusing and exasperating.

"By the way, has anything interesting happened in the Heavenly Court in the last two hundred years? Tell me about it. I've been here for the last 200 years and I'm so bored I'm about to die."

"There isn't a single living thing that can talk to me or keep me entertained. The only living thing here is the tree in front of me, but it's not a spirit and can't speak."

As if suddenly remembering something, Sun Wukong Nezha asked Nezha about the events that had occurred in Heavenly Court over the years, wanting Nezha to tell him so he could have a good laugh.

"There have been quite a few major events in Heavenly Court over the past 200 years. Which type would you like to hear about first?"

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, he rested his chin on his hand and thought carefully about what had happened in the Heavenly Court over the years.

After recalling for a moment, he realized there were indeed quite a few, and he suddenly didn't know where to begin talking to Sun Wukong.

Tell me something interesting first, something to cheer me up and relieve my boredom.
