Chapter 1981: Thank you for not abandoning me, the loyalty of a demon

~3 min read 565 words

"What do you say?" Fahai looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong."

Sun Wukong seemed hesitant, not knowing what to do. He had never seen such a situation; it seemed that in the eyes of the common people, this Great Immortal Huli was fundamentally a good person.

And he had heard the girl's whispering clearly. Buddhism also says, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

If this Great Immortal Huli were truly a bloodthirsty or greedy demon, he would have smashed him to death with one blow without a second word.

But the facts now showed that apart from not stopping the Second National Master from persecuting monks, this Great National Master had not done a single bad thing.

He was a demon, but he was a good demon.

If this were the Sun Wukong of the past, he would never have believed it. A demon is a demon; how could there be good ones? Which one hadn't cultivated into a spirit by drinking blood and eating raw meat, with bones piled like mountains?

"Wukong, I think we should spare the Great National Master's life," Tang Seng walked up and said leisurely. "But we can make a three-point agreement with the King of Chechi: from now on, pardon the forced labor of monks across the country and respect Buddhism."

"Great Senior Brother, this time I stand with Master. I think this demon is very special. Strictly speaking, aren't you a demon too? Aren't you also warm-hearted?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Sun Wukong and said very seriously.

"Fine!" Sun Wukong looked at Tianpeng and made a decision. He looked at the King of Chechi and said, "Then I will spare him, but can Your Majesty agree to what my Master said?"

Hearing this, the King of Chechi immediately smiled and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Of course I agree. I will issue a decree immediately that from now on, Buddhism and Daoism in the Chechi Kingdom will enjoy the same treatment."

"There is one more thing." Sun Wukong looked at Great Immortal Huli, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "If I, Sun Wukong, ever find out that this tiger spirit dares to disrupt the court or harm humans, I will definitely come back and take his dog head!"

The King of Chechi looked down at Great Immortal Huli, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Great National Master, Great Sage Sun has agreed to spare you. Why don't you thank him?"

Great Immortal Huli looked at the King of Chechi, then at Sun Wukong, his Adam's apple bobbing twice as he said, "Thank you, Great Sage Sun. I will certainly not commit the actions you spoke of."

Sun Wukong nodded, and the King of Chechi walked over to help Great Immortal Huli up from the ground.

Great Immortal Huli looked at the King of Chechi, his gaze finally softening from its sharp edge. He said dazedly, "Your Majesty, you already know I am a demon, so I am not worthy of this position of National Master!"

When he said this, everyone looked at the King of Chechi, only to see the King of Chechi smile slightly and say, "Whether the National Master is a demon or a human doesn't matter anymore. If you wanted to seize my throne, you would have done it long ago." ===== CHAPTER 1983 =====
