Utter Chaos

After speaking, the Azure Lion proudly patted its belly, revealing its true, majestic, and powerful demonic form.

Upon hearing this, the elephant demon looked puzzled and asked the Azure Lion, "Brother, where have you taken Sun Wukong now?"

"I've already stuffed him into my stomach. He charged at me earlier, and I couldn't dodge, so I had to fight back, and that's how he ended up in my mouth."

The Azure Lion looked at its belly, and after a while, it puffed out its belly and showed it to the monsters.

However, the third demon Kunpeng, was greatly surprised upon hearing this and said:

"Brother, I forgot to tell you, you absolutely can't eat Sun Wukong, otherwise there will be unexpected consequences."

"Where did you hear these strange words? Why can't I eat this? If I eat it, I won't be hungry anymore, wouldn't that be great?"

Sun Wukong roared loudly from inside the belly of the Azure Lion.

The little demon panicked and hurriedly reported to the Azure Lion:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sun Wukong is talking inside your stomach right now! What should we do?"

The Azure Lion said with a disdainful look:

"Why should I be afraid of him? If he's got the guts, I'll eat him up; if he's not, why should I bother with him? You guys quickly prepare some water. After I drink it, I'll vomit it out, then boil him up and drink it with wine."

The little demon quickly fetched half a basin of hot water, which the Azure Lion drank in one gulp. Then, he used his fingers to vomit up all the water, while Sun Wukong remained rooted to the spot in his stomach, motionless.

A long time passed, and the monster vomited until it was dizzy and disoriented, even bringing up bile. Sun Wukong remained completely still. The Azure Lion, seeing the vomit on the ground and not noticing Sun Wukong at all, said to Sun Wukong:

"Sun Wukong, why haven't you come out yet?"

After saying this, Sun Wukong turned over inside the stomach and said, "It's still early. I don't want to come out now. Let's talk about it later."

"You monkey, you're being incredibly rude! Staying inside my belly and refusing to come out is far too disrespectful."

The Azure Lion was a little angry at this moment, and said to Sun Wukong through gritted teeth.

"You monster are completely incapable of transformation. Ever since I became a monk, the clothes I wear have been very secure. Now that the weather is getting cold, I'm only wearing a thin garment. It's much warmer and less drafty inside your belly."

"I'll wait until spring before I come out."

Upon hearing this, the demons all said to the Azure Lion, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Sun Wukong is going to spend the winter inside your belly now!"

"If he wants to spend the winter in my belly, then I'll use the Grain Avoidance Method and not eat for the entire winter. I'll starve that Sun Wukong to death."

After speaking, the Azure Lion sat up cross-legged. However, Sun Wukong didn't want the Azure Lion- Azure Lion to have an easy time, so he threatened it, saying:

"My son, you don't know, ever since I was protecting Tang Xuanzang on his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, I passed through a place and casually picked up an iron pot, which can be used to cook some offal."

"I ate everything in your belly, completely empty. I just calculated that it should be enough for me to eat until the Qingming Festival."

Upon hearing this, the elephant demon was greatly surprised and trembled as it spoke to the Azure Lion:

"Brother, that Sun Wukong is capable of anything."

Kunpeng then said, "Eating what's inside your stomach is a minor matter, but the key question is, where should we put the pot?"

Without a second thought, Sun Wukong replied, "Then it's obviously just putting a pot between your bones. That makes things much easier. Why ask so many questions? You talk too much."

"Oh no! If we set up a pot and start cooking, the smoke will get into our noses and make us sneeze! What should we do?"

After speaking, Kunpeng was very worried about the safety of the Azure Lion, so he immediately stuck it to his belly and said to Sun Wukong.

"You don't need to worry about this at all. Let me use my Jingu Bang to poke a hole in his head, and it can even double as a skylight and chimney."

Sun Wukong, having kicked the Azure Lion in the belly, spoke slowly.

"Ouch, my goodness! What have you been doing in my belly? It hurts so much!"

Feeling the pain in his stomach, the Azure Lion's face turned ashen.

Although the Azure Lion wasn't afraid after hearing Sun Wukong's words, he was inwardly terrified and could only muster his courage and shout:

"Brothers, don't be afraid. Take all my liquor and let me drink a few cans to get that monkey drunk."

"When Old Sun, Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, I ate Laozi's elixir of immortality, drank the Taishang Laojun Jade Emperor's fine wine, stole the Queen Mother Niangniang's peaches of immortality, and ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow—what haven't I eaten? And what kind of wine are you talking about? You dare to boast in front of me."

After thinking it over, Sun Wukong pretended to be scared and said:

"Please don't give him this wine, or I'll beg you for mercy!"

None of the demons heard what Sun Wukong said. Just as the Azure Lion took the wine in his hand, Sun Wukong smelled its aroma.

"Do you have any more good wine? Give me some more."

Sun Wukong turned his head and opened his mouth wide; the wine flowed straight from the Azure Lion's throat into Sun Wukong's mouth.

As soon as the monster drank it, Sun Wukong drank it too. When the Sun Wukong drank that as well. He drank several cups in a row, all of them by Sun Wukong.

"Forget it, I'm not drinking anymore. I usually only need two glasses of this wine before my stomach feels like it's on fire, but now I've had several glasses and my face isn't even red."

The Azure Lion had no idea that Sun Wukong was actually helping him share the burden of the wine.

However, Sun Wukong was already drunk and causing a ruckus inside his stomach. His legs could no longer support him and he collapsed onto his stomach, so he started punching and kicking inside, swinging his intestines around like a swing.

By this time, the monster was writhing on the ground in pain, unaware of whether it was alive or dead. But Sun Wukong was oblivious to what was happening outside and was still amusing himself.

The demons were at a loss upon seeing this. Some of the bolder demons tried to approach the Azure Lion, but they were all torn apart by the Azure Lion claws and lost their lives. So they could only watch the Azure Lion's transformation from a distance.

After a long time, Sun Wukong lay motionless inside her stomach, while the Azure Lion fainted from the pain, muttering softly:

"Please forgive me, please forgive me! I know I was wrong now."

"It's too late to beg for mercy now. If only you had known this would happen in the first place!"
