Chapter 2498: Seeking Death

That night, Sun Wukong leaped from the top of the imperial palace hall, mounted his Somersault Cloud, and flew rapidly toward the Wansheng River.

A moment later, he arrived at the bottom of the Wansheng River.

He jumped with both legs and leaped into the palace.

This empty palace had not a single servant, which was strange. In such a magnificent palace, how could a great monster like the nine-headed bird have no servants?

Sun Wukong released a bit of his spiritual sense, sensed a demonic aura, and then opened the door to a room.

Inside the room, the lights were bright, and a large bed was placed against the wall directly in front.

"Ugh, I can't sleep, my head hurts so much!"

"Why isn't it dawn yet?"

The nine-headed bird lay on the large bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

"Nine-headed bird, your Grandpa Sun is here!"

Sun Wukong stood in the room and suddenly said in a loud voice.

"What are you doing?" The nine-headed bird suddenly sat up from the bed, reaching for the Heaven-Piercing Halberd placed by the bedside, and then said, "Didn't I return the Buddha-Light Sarira to you? Why are you still coming after me?"

Sun Wukong looked at him; on his five bird heads, every pair of eyes had deep, dark circles.

Clearly, he was still suffering from insomnia.

Sun Wukong stood where he was, smiling without a word. For some reason, he felt this monster was actually quite interesting.

"Fine, I get it. You're here to kill me, right?"

"After all, I stole the national treasure first, a crime beyond forgiveness. Then kill me, destroy my body and soul; I really don't want to remain in this world anymore."

A look of sorrow suddenly appeared in the nine-headed bird's eyes as he looked at Sun Wukong and spoke.

"Do you really want to die that much?"

Sun Wukong looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said.

"Yes, I want to die."

"Every second I live is worse than death. Kill me quickly; I am a heinous monster, you should kill me!"

The nine-headed bird looked at Sun Wukong and then said with extreme calmness.

"Tell me, what have you been doing for these past five thousand years?"

Sun Wukong found a stool and sat down, looking as if he were ready to listen to a story.

"What could I be doing? Eating people, eating people without spitting out the bones."

"As a great monster, if I don't do these things, what else could I do?"

The nine-headed bird paused for a moment and then said.

"Hehehe."

Sun Wukong laughed after hearing this, laughing inexplicably happily.

A person, or rather a monster, the more he wants to die, the more suspicious it is.

Sun Wukong looked up at the ceiling, recalling the investigation into the monster's whereabouts over the past half-month.

He had heard many strange rumors among the common people.

A bun seller said that he had sold half a steamer of buns that day—a fact he remembered clearly. When he went back into the room to get vinegar for a customer, he opened the steamer again and found that the buns in his steamer were suddenly full again.

A clothes dyer said that he ran a dye shop, and recently red clothes were selling well. But just while an acquaintance was passing by to say hello, all his clothes turned green.

There was also someone walking on the road who had nothing to do. The further he walked, the more he found he couldn't get ahead, because the road itself had started to retreat backward. He was completely stunned.

Sun Wukong raised his hand, golden light overflowing from it. He recreated these scenes and displayed them before the nine-headed bird. He smiled at the nine-headed bird and said, "Did you do these things?" ===== CHAPTER 2500 =====
