582 chapters, Sun Wukong's about to have peach-blossom luck…
As the story goes, the old demoness in Suppress Dragon Mountain heard that the two little demons of the Lianhuadong Sect had been invited to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, so she ordered the little demons to prepare a sedan chair and, at the same time, told them to quickly fetch the Golden Hoop Rope. She got into the sedan and hurried off toward Pingdingshan.
Having descended the slope and left the black pine forest, the old demoness said to the little demon transformed from Sun Wukong's monkey hair, "You two listen well: in the Lianhuadong of Pingdingshan, I am a person whose word is law; moreover, the second-in-command of the Lianhuadong is my son. You just need to present a gift and secretly slip me a red envelope; I will speak a few good words for you before the Lianhuadong leadership, guaranteeing you a promotion."
Sun Wukong deliberately asked: "Granny, what gift do you want us to give you, and how much red envelope should we give the elderly person?"
The old demoness said, "Child, I won't make things difficult for you; this gift is also very simple. Just give me the moon of the night sky, the sun of the daytime, the White Jade Bed of the East Sea Dragon King, the Immortal Peach Tree of the Queen Mother, Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace, the Jade Emperor's Jade Cauldron, Sun Wukong's Golden Hoop Staff, and also an Olympic gold medal. Moreover, the Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus... how about you give me all the stars in the sky? Then the third and fourth leaders of Pingdingshan will be yours to occupy."
Sun Wukong heard the old demoness spout increasingly nonsense; it was simply not something a person would say, as if her mind had a bit of a problem.
Sun Wukong secretly laughed: "Everyone says people are greedy, but who would have thought this monster is even greedier than people? No wonder the world is like this…"
Sun Wukong deliberately teased the old demoness, saying, "Granny, the gift you want is quite simple. For us, it's easy to obtain. Actually, I want to ask what you need these things for."
Upon hearing that, the old demoness thought the things she wanted were very simple, and she was delighted beyond words.
"Children, you're still young and don't understand things," the old demoness said to Sun Wukong.
"I'm still young? The new monkey hairs that Old Sun has grown are older than your age!" Sun Wukong thought.
But Sun Wukong said aloud, "Yes, I'm still young, you're old. You're well-informed and experienced, so please tell us what you need those things for, and we'll give them to you later."
The old demoness joyfully said, "How come I'm so lucky today? Just as dawn broke, someone invited me to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh; halfway along the road, someone wanted to give me this one gift. Haha, this is truly the case where, when a person sets out, even mountains cannot stand in the way. Good child, do you really intend to give me those gifts I just mentioned?"
Sun Wukong replied, "How could that be false? If we were lying, the sun would rise in the east and set in the west, and ants would have to ride roosters."
The old demoness, amused by Sun Wukong, said, "You two kids, you really know how to speak, making people like you. Here's the deal: if you really give me those gifts I just mentioned, I will not only let you join the leadership of the Lianhuadong on Pingdingshan, but I will also give you the two most beautiful women by my side. How about that?"
Sun Wukong, also amused by the old demoness's words, laughed, "Granny, we two haven't made it big, we haven't become proper people. No money, no house, no fame—more like we have no name at all. As things stand now, we're just bachelors. One person eating fills the whole family; one person being happy makes the whole family laugh; one person's worries make the whole family sad. I'm always dreaming of a wife; having a wife would first relieve our loneliness, second add to our life's content, and third allow us to have children and carry on the family line. As Confucius said, there are three forms of unfiliality, and having no children is the greatest unfiliality. Our parents are constantly worried about us, urging us to fall in love early, marry early, and have children early. We just haven't found the opportunity. Look, the opportunity has come. Granny, as you set off today, we are having luck, we are having peach-blossom luck…"
