Chapter 2025: Honest Business, Fair Trade

~4 min read 630 words

Wu Feng immediately regained his focus and looked at the Mirror of Observation. In the mirror, Sun Wukong was hovering over the lake, holding the Priest old man in his hand.

He was now like a frost-bitten eggplant, completely drained of spirit, covered in wounds, and the look in his eyes had become dim.

"Old man, didn't you say that I was no match for you?"

"What's wrong? Are you really that fragile?"

Sun Wukong looked at the Priest he was holding with extreme smugness and said.

"Hmph!" The Priest's eyes still held unwillingness. He turned his head to look at Sun Wukong and said, "If you have the ability, return my torch and necklace to me, and let's see if you're still my match."

"Haha, that's really interesting. You lost, so you lost. You want me to return your weapon? Do you think that's possible?"

"You've been beaten like this, and you're still talking tough. That's quite something."

Sun Wukong said with a mocking expression in his eyes.

On the other side, in the grocery store, Wu Feng saw that Sun Wukong had already taken down the Priest and snatched the torch and the Space-Time Necklace, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"I say, Senior Wu Feng, these two things must be worth a lot, right? I spent so much effort to get them. You must buy them at the original price; don't cheat me."

Sun Wukong said to Wu Feng in his mind.

"Sun Wukong, why do you always distrust me?" Wu Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Have I ever cheated you once when you bought or sold things at my grocery store?"

"If you hadn't had my Clear Heart Ice Soul Bead when you defeated this old man from the Wuxiang Realm, do you think you could have won?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled embarrassedly; he could never seem to break his habit of being suspicious.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. Wu Feng's grocery store had always been honest and fair; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a resounding reputation within the Three Realms.

At this moment, three figures flew over the sky above the Tongtian River. Sun Wukong looked closely and saw that it was Fahai, Marshal Tianpeng, and General Juan Lian.

Fahai was the fastest, flying directly in front of Sun Wukong, while Tianpeng and Juan Lian followed.

Sun Wukong carefully examined Fahai from head to toe and said, "Fahai, are your injuries healed?"

Fahai smiled and said, "Yes, Tianpeng and Juan Lian joined forces to use their true Qi to heal my injuries."

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and said, "This Sea-Heart Flame, although it is an extremely strange evil fire, seems to be much less powerful than the Samadhi True Fire, or even the Red Lotus Karma Fire."

Fahai stroked his chin, his eyes darting around, and said, "I feel the same. This lethality is simply incomparable to the Samadhi True Fire."

"But there is one troublesome point: the Chen Family Ancestral Hall is still surrounded by this Sea-Heart Flame. All the villagers are using water to save it, but it seems like they can't extinguish even a bit of the fire."

Marshal Tianpeng also said, "The spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family are enshrined in that Chen Family Ancestral Hall. If it were to be reduced to ashes just like that, it would be quite a pity."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong fell into deep thought, then looked at the Priest he was holding and said, "Old thing, tell me quickly, how can this Sea-Heart Flame be extinguished?"

The old man's small eyes were gloomy as he glared at him, as if he didn't want to pay him any mind at all. ===== CHAPTER 2027 =====
