Chapter 2497: Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong withdrew his spiritual sense from the connection with Wu Feng and looked toward the King of Jisaiguo.

"Your Majesty, we do not want any rewards; we only need you to grant us one request."

When Sun Wukong said this, Tang Seng immediately looked at him. He was somewhat surprised and said, "Wukong, do not forget the duties of a monk."

Sun Wukong glanced at Tang Seng, smiled, and did not take Tang Seng's words to heart.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong told the King of Jisaiguo everything about the nine-headed bird at the bottom of the river suffering from headaches and insomnia, as well as the instructions Wu Feng had given him.

Tianpeng was gnawing on a steamed bun at the time, and when Sun Wukong said these things, he suddenly froze.

He said with some surprise, "So, Monkey Brother is not one to stand by and watch someone die after all."

However, when the King of Jisaiguo finished listening to Sun Wukong, a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes. He said, "The monster at the bottom of Wansheng River is so powerful; can you guarantee that he truly won't steal the national treasure again?"

A smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face, and he immediately said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. Once this monster has his demon tendons extracted, he will lose all his magic power."

"Not to mention that he will be no match for us brothers in the future, even an ordinary monk from the Kongming Buddha Pagoda could easily defeat him."

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Seng and the others, only to see their gazes fixed on the King, and he could clearly discern a hint of anticipation within them.

The King lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since Elder Sun says so, I think I should grant you this request."

Once the King said this, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone in the Westward Journey group.

Tang Seng slightly raised his head and said calmly, "That nine-headed bird seems to have an affinity with the Buddha-Light Sarira. Allowing a monster to be nurtured by Buddhist teachings for a lifetime is not without merit."

The King looked at Tang Seng, smiled, and said, "Master Xuanzang's words are very reasonable."

"The Kongming Buddha Pagoda originally had monks specifically assigned to guard the Buddha-Light Sarira. If we are to change the guard, I will simply give them some instructions."

"However, we must ensure that this monster will never steal the Buddha-Light Sarira again. After all, this is the most precious treasure of our Jisaiguo."

Sun Wukong still wore a smile on his face and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will certainly handle this matter properly for you."

The King looked at Sun Wukong, smiled slightly, and said, "Elder Sun's attitude is so firm, and the recovery of the national treasure is entirely to your credit, so I trust you completely."

Hearing the King say this, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone in the Westward Journey group.

After the vegetarian banquet, the group headed to their respective guest rooms to rest.

Tianpeng walked along the corridor, glanced at Sun Wukong ahead, and looked thoughtful.

Then he hurried to catch up with Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with confusion, and said, "Monkey Brother, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Sun Wukong looked at him with a serious expression and said, "You fool, when did I change my mind? Didn't I tell you before? I hadn't thought of any solution at all."

"Now that I have suddenly thought of a way, and since it's just a matter of saving him while I'm at it, why not?"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he strode away, leaving Tianpeng alone on the spot, seemingly still unable to figure it out. ===== CHAPTER 2499 =====
