Chapter 876: Bajie caught Wukong's weakness

As the previous chapter said, Sun Wukong had turned into a little demon in the cave, running back and forth, helping the cave's monsters serve tea and pour water, quite pleased. Who would have thought that the Zhu Bajie hanging mid‑air was dissatisfied? He shouted to the cave's monsters: "Monsters, it's terrible! The Sun Wukong you caught turned into a little demon and ran away!"

You say Zhu Bajie isn't scatterbrained, right? How could he leak such a major secret to the monsters? The reader will surely raise doubts. Here we need to explain to the reader. Otherwise, one would think the storyteller is just boasting.

That foolish Zhu Bajie's previous incarnation was also an animal that had cultivated into a spirit, and he had not yet cultivated into a true person. Even after cultivating into a true person, he still harbored jealousy.

Everyone is jealous. Especially among peers, classmates, companions, and partners, jealousy and disputes are even more rampant. What's more, what about that Zhu Bajie lacking **?

This is one reason.

Moreover, that foolish Bajie and Wukong got along day and night, usually trading jokes and insults, a habit. They often spoke half‑true, half‑false, false‑true, just kidding. Bajie forgot that he was in the demon's cave, thinking he was on the road to fetch scriptures.

That fool, truly amusing.

Otherwise, how could you call him Zhu Bajie? Zhu Bajie, this muddle‑headed fool, knows nothing but eating three meals a day. Fond of eating, lazy, seeking comfort, just eating and sleeping brings ease........................

Zhu Bajie, this fool.

The monsters in the cave, hearing Bajie's shout—"Sun Wukong turned into a little demon and ran?"—could not help but be greatly startled, especially the Big Demon Chief and the Second Demon Chief.

Because everyone knows that if Sun Wukong runs away, this wine will not be ready.

The Big Demon Chief glanced at the spot where Sun Wukong was hung, and Sun Wukong was still hanging there just fine.

But at this moment the Big Demon Chief still didn't know that the true Sun Wukong had already turned into a little demon beside him.

The Big Demon Chief saw that Sun Wukong was still hanging properly beside Bajie, and thus felt relieved.

At this point the Big Demon Chief was already sixty percent unhappy. Was Zhu Bajie intentionally yelling nonsense, ruining everyone's drinking mood?

Sun Wukong, who sees all directions and hears all sounds, noticed the Big Demon Chief's displeasure and seized the chance to say to him: "Great King, Zhu Bajie is no good; he's spoiling the leader's drinking mood, affecting the leader's spirits."

The Big Demon Chief, provoked by Sun Wukong, felt his anger ignite. The Big Demon Chief waved his hand at the little demons nearby and said: "You lot!"

"Yes!" the little demons replied in unison.

"You go up and slap that fat‑headed, big‑eared mouth, ask him if he dares to keep spouting nonsense, ruining the leader's drinking mood."

"Yes."

Seeing the Great King wave his hand, ordering them to go forward and strike Zhu Bajie, the little demons were all overjoyed. These little demons had long wanted to beat that fat‑headed, big‑eared Zhu Bajie. No knowing why, or why not. Just because the little demons took a dislike to Bajie; just because the little demons liked to beat people.

The little demons swarmed forward, raining punches and kicks on Bajie. They beat him until he was calling for his mother and father. Actually Bajie's cries of "mother! father!" were just an act.

The reader knows, Bajie's body, too, has been cultivated for a thousand years, hard as steel, impervious to lightning and fire. The little demons' punches and kicks felt to him like a mere scratch.

Wukong saw Bajie feigning his cries, and said to the little demons who were hitting him: "Brothers, are you tired from hitting? If you're tired, let me have a few turns, just for fun."

Wukong said this, then shoved the other little demons aside.

Wukong deliberately rolled up his sleeves, put on a show, and said to Bajie: "Bajie, is your skin itchy? Why are you yelling like that? Looking for a beating?"

Bajie saw Houge angry and about to strike him. Bajie grew afraid. Houge's fist was not comparable to the little demons' fists.

Bajie pleaded with Wukong: "Houge, go easy on me! I was just joking with you a moment ago. Why take it seriously?"

Wukong said: "You fool Bajie, this is the monsters' cave—is this the place for joking? You forgetful thing, today I will certainly make you remember, let you properly taste the power of my Monkey Monkey Fist!"

Bajie laughed: "Houge, strike lightly. If you hit my junior brother too hard, I'll have to cry out again."

Wukong said: "Fool, I'm not afraid of your yelling; even if you yell again, the monsters won't believe you."

Bajie laughed: "Houge, just now that monster didn't believe me. This time, if I yell, the monster will surely believe me."

Wukong laughed and said: "Why? Could it be that I have some weakness you've grabbed hold of?"

"Yes!" Bajie said..................................
