Chapter 167: Sun Wukong: Old Sun explained, but sister-in-law didn't believe it

Sun Wukong only realized what he had said after he finished the sentence, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

But it seemed... a bit late.

The stone door of the Banana Leaf Cave had already opened, and out came a heroic woman holding a long sword.

She didn't speak, but from her expression, she was extremely annoyed.

"Who did you say you were?"

"I..." Sun Wukong covered his mouth with both hands again. "Madam, it's Old Bull, Madam."

Princess Iron Fan laughed in anger. "Good, good, good, a good Old Bull."

"Hehehe... Madam, Old Bull has returned to see..."

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing, sister-in-law!"

Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, Princess Iron Fan swung her sword at him.

He couldn't fight back, so he could only let Princess Iron Fan chase him with the sword, just running away blindly.

"Who is your sister-in-law, you heartless Old Bull, you dare to come back!"

Sun Wukong felt like he had bitterness he couldn't express. The method Master taught didn't work either.

And why were women so scary when they got angry?

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look clearly, I am truly Sun Xingzhe."

Princess Iron Fan stopped and saw Sun Wukong transform back into his own appearance.

"Sister-in-law, Old Sun just wanted to come to you to borrow the Banana Leaf Fan to extinguish the fire at Flame Mountain."

"Sister-in-law, are you willing to lend it?"

Princess Iron Fan examined Sun Wukong and didn't speak for a long time.

"Sister-in-law?"

"Pfft!" Princess Iron Fan spat. "A good heartless Old Bull, it would be one thing if you stayed with that vixen, but now you're actually trying to trick me out of my Banana Leaf Fan for that vixen!"

"Take this sword!"

"Ah?" Sun Wukong immediately jumped away and ran. "Sister-in-law, I'm not Bull Brother, I am truly Sun Xingzhe, Sun Wukong!"

"Hmph, your brother disappeared for hundreds of years, how did you suddenly appear on my mountain?"

"Good you heartless Old Bull, you still want to take the opportunity to ruin Princess Iron Fan's reputation!" Saying this, she swung her sword at him again.

Sun Wukong: "..."

How was he supposed to explain so that sister-in-law would believe he was Sun Wukong, and that he was just here to borrow a Banana Leaf Fan?

There was no other way; Sun Wukong could only let her hack at him. "Sister-in-law, Old Sun has an indestructible body; you can hack away to vent your anger, and once you've vented, can you lend Old Sun the Banana Leaf Fan?"

Princess Iron Fan hacked at Sun Wukong more than a dozen times, but no matter how she hacked, she couldn't hurt Sun Wukong at all.

Maybe she hadn't been that angry in the first place, but not being able to hit him after hacking, and not being able to hurt him, made her truly angry.

"Fine, you want the Banana Leaf Fan, right?"

"Look over here!"

Princess Iron Fan took the Banana Leaf Fan from her mouth and fanned it, blowing Sun Wukong away, leaving a trail in the sky like a shooting star in broad daylight.

Flame Mountain, the shaded area where Tang An and the others were.

"Three."

"Two."

"One..."

As Tang An finished speaking, Sun Wukong flew back, looking disheveled.

When Tang An saw Sun Wukong's disheveled appearance blown by the wind, she laughed so hard she clutched her stomach, tears streaming down her face.

"Master!" Sun Wukong complained. "The method you gave is useless; sister-in-law didn't listen to Old Sun at all and just blew Old Sun away."

"Is that so?" Tang An didn't believe it. "Listening to you, your identity was exposed early on?"

"Then how were you exposed?"

"I... Old Sun..." Sun Wukong squatted down silently, scratching his ears and cheeks, completely baffled. "Was Old Sun's disguise that unconvincing?"

And why didn't she believe him when he disguised himself as Old Bull, and why did she say he was Old Bull when he disguised himself as himself?

Tang An looked at Sun Wukong's distressed and tangled appearance, trying hard to hold back her laughter. Really, she was almost laughing herself into a spasm.

Why was she almost laughing herself into a spasm? And why could she accurately predict Sun Wukong's return?

It was because, in order to eat melons, she had attached a small device to Sun Wukong's clothes that didn't need to be connected to the internet to transmit images in real-time.

However, that device was later broken by the Banana Leaf Fan, and Tang An had just estimated the approximate time it would take for him to return based on Sun Wukong's speed.

"Master, why didn't you give Old Sun that Wind-Fixing Bead?"

"If I had that Wind-Fixing Bead, wouldn't Old Sun have gotten the Banana Leaf Fan on this trip?"

That was a good question.

"Wukong, let me ask you, has the matter of you accidentally causing Princess Iron Fan to be poisoned by fire all those years ago been resolved?"

"Hmm? That hasn't been yet."

"Let me ask you again, does the fact that Red Boy can no longer return to Princess Iron Fan's side often have anything to do with us?"

"Ah? That... that is true."

Tang An clapped the back of her hand. "So, you really think Princess Iron Fan wouldn't recognize you?"

"And you really think that after you voluntarily confessed your identity, she was too stupid to insist on treating you as the Bull Demon King?"

Yang Jian put away his fan and said slowly, "Master didn't give you the Wind-Fixing Bead just so Princess Iron Fan could vent her anger and settle the causality between the two of you."

Only after the two of them said this did Sun Wukong suddenly realize.

"A woman's mind is truly hard to guess." Sun Wukong was so anxious he scratched his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do.

Just as Tang An wanted to speak, she suddenly discovered that some villagers were clutching their stomachs and falling to the ground in pain.

Not just one; almost everyone was like that.

"I? Did I poison them???"

Tang An suspected herself for the first time, but she hadn't.

Yang Jian and Sun Wukong hurriedly went over to check everyone's pulse. "It's nothing; they've been starving and thirsty for a long time, and suddenly eating and drinking too much, their stomachs can't digest it."

Saying this, Yang Jian took out some pills, dissolved them in water, and distributed them to everyone to drink.

Tang An looked at this scene, feeling a bit at a loss.

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

She lived in a peaceful era; although she couldn't say she was very wealthy, she hadn't suffered from hunger, nor had she suffered from long-term thirst.

So she didn't have this common sense; she didn't know that if people were lacking food and water for a long time, and suddenly ate and drank too much, their bodies wouldn't be able to handle it.

The old man recovered and waved his hand with a smile.

"You are gods; naturally, you haven't lived the bitter life we have. So you wouldn't know that if we suddenly eat something good, we would have acute abdominal pain."

"We are not unreasonable people; you are all gods who save the suffering, you came to save us, so how can there be any talk of owing?"

"It's just that we knew there would be acute abdominal pain, but we couldn't help but want to eat one more bite, drink one more sip."

Tang An laughed dryly, feeling embarrassed, because of the old man's words, she couldn't help but think more.

In her era, decades ago, the elderly had indeed suffered such bitterness.

If it weren't for those predecessors, one generation eating the bitterness of three generations, there wouldn't have been the life of later generations without worrying about food and clothing.

As for the term gods... those heroes who opened up peace for all ages were the true gods who saved the people from fire and water.

"Everyone, rest assured, once this matter is over, we will definitely return a clean and prosperous land to you."

"Master is absolutely right, but for now, how should we take the Banana Leaf Fan?"

"Banana Leaf Fan?" Tang An took out all the Wind-Fixing Beads and distributed one to each of the three of them.

"You really think this difficulty is just as simple as settling causality?"

"Let's go, I'm afraid we have to go to Moyun Cave again and find the Bull Demon King one more time." ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
