Chapter 403: Wukong!

"How could this be?"

Stroking her belly, Bai Suzhen gazed at the newborn girl in the manor below, a faint flicker of disappointment crossing her eyes.

This was already her little benefactor's third reincarnation; the pure yang true spirit reborn in a daughter's body made it a dragon's chant physique.

Girls with this physique basically cannot live past twenty, which is why they reincarnate so frequently.

However, fortunately her little benefactor is kind‑hearted; each lifetime he is a great good person. Although he cannot live past twenty, from childhood he accumulates virtue and good deeds, and the merit built up also lets her enjoy a life of fine clothes and jade food in every lifetime.

"Alright, just keep waiting—I have plenty of time!"

Helplessly shaking her head, Bai Suzhen looked at her slightly swollen belly, then turned and flew back to Golden Turtle Island.

Recently Ao Yifan has been staying on Golden Turtle Island, after all, the several holy mothers and the Three Pure Maidens still need him to take good care of them.

Bai Suzhen's return had no other motive; she simply wished to serve Ao Yifan well, in hopes of helping him find her little benefactor's next reincarnation.

……

"Boom—"

A tremendous roar shook the three realms.

Inside the East Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Yifan brought Ao Run to look at the slightly trembling huge stone.

They knew the immortal fetus was about to be born!

"What a tremendous commotion—this immortal fetus is truly extraordinary!"

Ao Run couldn't help but say.

"Indeed, I never expected it to cause such a huge commotion!"

Ao Yifan nodded.

Even he felt somewhat surprised by the commotion of the immortal fetus's birth.

"Could it be because it absorbed that Mending Heaven Stone?"

Ao Yifan thought to himself: "The Mending Heaven Stone inherently contains divine power; plus it absorbed the merit of mending heaven, so it seems the immortal fetus has been over‑nourished."

At the same time, in the heavenly court, the August Heavenly Emperor felt a hint of unease well up in his heart.

Immediately afterward, the August Heavenly Emperor sensed the heavenly realm's qi luck churning.

"How could this happen?"

He calculated on his fingers, and the August Heavenly Emperor's face changed drastically.

"Could someone be trying to seize my position as Jade Emperor?"

But no matter how the August Heavenly Emperor calculated, he could not figure out the source of this palpitation; it seemed someone had deliberately blocked the heavenly secrets.

"Could it be that family again?"

Just because it can't be calculated doesn't mean it can't be guessed.

Having experienced the two previous great uprisings in the heavenly palace, the August Heavenly Emperor already harbored a psychological shadow toward his son‑in‑law's family.

Yet he could not help but admit that whether it was his own nephew or Nezha, they were existences like monstrous prodigies.

If not for his reliance on the heavenly realm's qi luck, he would probably still find it hard to deal with them.

Now, with the heavenly realm's qi luck churning, this indicates that the person emerging this time might even be impossible to suppress with the heavenly realm's qi luck.

Jade Emperor, danger!

"Huh? My child is truly extraordinary!"

In Nüwa Palace, Nüwa's gaze fell upon the East Sea, where she looked at the immortal stone that had once fought alongside Ao Yifan, and she couldn't help but recall the scenes from back then.

Who could have imagined that the little dragon she once easily controlled by possessing a crane boy would now have become a holy dragon capable of riding on her and running wild at will?

……

"Boom—"

A tremendous boom—only to see the East Sea's huge waves rolling, and then the immortal stone split open, a figure entirely wrapped in golden light flying out from within.

"What is this? A monkey?"

Ao Run blinked, then turned his gaze to Ao Yifan beside him, his eyes seemingly asking, 'You're a dragon, and Lady Nüwa a sage—how did you give birth to a monkey?'

Seeing Ao Run's doubt, Ao Yifan smiled and said: "Lady Nüwa is a sage of the demon clan; your child is naturally also of the demon clan. Moreover, she contains the myriad demon origins within her, so her child will randomly take on a demon‑clan form—most of the children I have with her are like that."

"Now I understand!"

Ao Run nodded, looking at the monkey child whose big eyes rolled about, observing the surroundings, and couldn't help but smile, saying: "This child of yours truly has a monkey's nature—mischievous to the core."

Just then, the monkey child seemed to have made out Ao Yifan and Ao Run, twitched its nose slightly, and then hopped over to stand before them.

"Child, greetings to father and mother!"

The monkey child knelt before Ao Yifan and Ao Run and called out.

"Hehe, good child, this is a gift from your mother!"

Ao Run smiled faintly; although the monkey child was not her own biological offspring, its cleverness made her very fond of it.

As she spoke, Ao Run pointed with her right hand, and a golden chainmail flew out, landing in the monkey child's hands.

"Thank you, mother—I really like this!"

Seeing the shining golden chainmail, the monkey child immediately excitedly put it on, truly feeling mighty and imposing.

"By the way, husband, what name are you planning to give this monkey child?"

Ao Run adjusted the golden chainmail on the monkey child, then turned to ask Ao Yifan.

"Wukong, Ao Wukong—meaning this child can rid himself of desire and obsession, returning to a state of purity."

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

"Well, husband, it's rare that you actually take the time to seriously name a child—indeed you now have a bit of a sage's demeanor."

Ao Run covered her mouth and laughed.

She knew very well that her husband possessed a name manual, from which all the children's names were taken.

Simply, in Ao Run's view, her husband really had no talent for naming children; thus, aside from Ao Sheng, the names of all the children she and Ao Yifan had were chosen by her personally.

After all, whose daughter is named Ao Sheng?

Competitive and eager to win, she learned skills from the Three Pure Maidens; now she spends all day away from home, saying she wants to challenge the Three Realms and dominate eternity—no one knows whose temperament she inherited.

In the end, Ao Run could only complain that Ao Yifan had chosen a bad name for the child originally.

Now, the monkey's name turned out to be surprisingly good.

But just as Ao Wukong's name was decided, suddenly, sweet rain fell from the sky over the East Sea, and in an instant all the creatures of the East Sea received its blessing.

Of course, most of that sweet rain did not enter Ao Wukong's body; it merely washed away his demonic nature, leaving a faint trace of immortal aura.

"Hehe, it looks like Wukong's mother made a move."

Ao Yifan said with a smile: "However, this woman keeps saying she abandoned the child back then and is unworthy to be its mother; I really don't know when her stubborn temperament will change."

"She's an immortal sage who's lived who knows how many years—her nature isn't something you can just change."

Ao Run said with a smile.

"No way! I have to go give her a proper lesson; by the way, I'll leave Wukong in your care for now."

Ao Yifan said.

"Fine, go ahead!"

Ao Run rolled her eyes; she naturally understood what Ao Yifan meant by "lesson."

However, she could also understand Ao Yifan's thoughts.

After all, making a lofty sage reveal a shy, alluring demeanor would better arouse this man's desire to conquer.
