Chapter 420: Earthy to the extreme is trendy, don't you understand?

~8 min read 1,421 words

The next day, at a gold processing factory.

Tang An walked out of the gold shop with her head held high and her hands behind her back, wearing a thick gold chain as thick as an index finger around her neck and two rows of gold bracelets on her arms. There were also rings and earrings, all arranged clearly.

She also wore a head full of gold hairpins, looking like a peacock spreading its tail, a bit vulgar and flashy.

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha looked at each other in the gold shop, none of them willing to follow closely behind Tang An.

"Tsk, let's go, we still have to rush to the next attraction."

Tang An waved at them, completely unconcerned about other people's gazes, her social butterfly attribute fully maxed out.

Yang Jian took a deep breath and pulled Sun Wukong to the front. "Monkey Brother, you are the Senior Disciple, you go."

"Right." Nezha also gave a push.

Before Sun Wukong could retort, the two of them had already pushed him out.

The casual-style Monkey Brother was wearing a gold chain as thick as a thumb, wrapped around his neck three times. On his head, he wore a genuine pure gold version of the Golden Hoop, which Tang An said was for some "cosplay."

From head to toe, even the sunglasses he wore had their frames modified into pure gold by Tang An.

It was... a style focused on luxury and ostentation.

"Master..." For the first time, Sun Wukong felt the gaze of passersby like needles on his back, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"You two come out too." Tang An waved, naturally referring to Yang Jian and Nezha.

"If you two don't come out, I'm going in to drag you out."

Under Tang An's repeated urging, the two of them came out of the gold shop reluctantly.

Mainly, with their status, when would they ever need such ostentatious decorations to highlight their worth?

A little gold is fine, but a whole body of gold is inevitably a bit...

Earthy.

"What kind of expressions are you all making? Is my outfit very ugly?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison, afraid that if they said the word "ugly," Tang An would dress them up like that too.

"You need to straighten your backs and be generous, what are you afraid of?"

"Isn't it just a bit earthy? Earthy to the extreme is trendy, don't you understand?"

"And do you know how many people envy our gold jewelry? Do you know how expensive gold is now?"

No matter what Tang An said, the three of them still had the urge to cover their heads.

"Tsk, I didn't want to either, but we brought the Nian Beast out with us, and it spat out gold, so we can't just leave the gold there and let it go to waste, right?"

"Wouldn't that be too wasteful? Too extravagant?"

The three of them looked at the Nian Beast that Tang An had tied up like a Chinese Five-Red Dog; she hadn't wasted the gold at all, even the leash was pure gold, and the dog was so weighed down it could barely walk steadily.

"Phew..."

Too ostentatious, so socially dead...

The three of them tacitly kept a certain distance from Tang An, and wherever they went, their faces were written with the expression, "We aren't very familiar with her."

"Tsk." Tang An didn't care at all what the three of them were like; she walked her own way, her social butterfly attribute fully exerted to the extreme.

In the car.

The master and her three disciples got into the car, and Sun Wukong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could relax, they remembered Tang An's driving skills and inevitably tensed up again, fastening their seatbelts tightly.

"Master, how about I drive?" Sun Wukong had been curious about this thing for a long time.

"No, you don't have a driver's license."

Sun Wukong was so anxious he scratched his ears and cheeks. "When will I have a driver's license?"

"Uh..."

That was a good question, because the three of them didn't even have household registrations, couldn't get ID cards, let alone a driver's license.

Yang Jian seemed to have thought of something, manually performed a hand seal, and then swapped appearances with Tang An.

"Hmm?" Tang An hadn't reacted to what was going on when she appeared in the back seat.

"Oh my, that's cheating."

As expected of gods, there was nothing that couldn't be solved by magic. If there was, it was just that their cultivation and ability weren't enough.

Seeing Yang Jian use this method to drive, Sun Wukong was so anxious he slapped his thigh. "How come I didn't think of that, how come I didn't think of that!"

He wanted to swap with Yang Jian in distress, but Yang Jian just wouldn't swap.

Only Tang An, who had turned into Yang Jian's appearance, silently fastened her seatbelt in the back.

She deeply understood the saying, "People, when you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back."

"That... drive a bit slower." She gripped the seatbelt tightly, performed a hand seal with one hand, and first put several layers of defense on the car.

"Master, don't worry, Yang Jian has always been steady in doing things."

"Then that's h... ah!!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst Tang An's screams, she saw Yang Jian actually drive the sedan with the feeling of a spaceship at light speed.

What traffic jams, what pedestrians, what streetlights, what did that have to do with Yang Jian!

He directly used magic; although the car was on the road, it could travel freely and would not have any impact on any cars, people, or roadblocks.

Even if surveillance cameras took pictures, they couldn't catch him.

The window in Tang An's back seat wasn't closed, so when Yang Jian stopped, her hair had been blown into a crazy state, and it had even set into the shape of the wind...

"You call this steady...?"

"Blech~"

She opened the car door and vomited; although she couldn't vomit anything out, she just felt like vomiting.

Sun Wukong laughed uncontrollably, handing Tang An tissues while laughing.

Nezha went to buy her water so she could rinse her mouth.

Yang Jian cleared his throat, standing aside looking guilty like he had made a mistake, not daring to meet Tang An's eyes.

"You!"

"Master, please..."

"Me!"

"Master, please come in..."

In a fit of anger, Tang An got angry, made a "hmph hmph" sound, and walked toward the entrance of the amusement park in a huff.

Sun Wukong was about to laugh his head off behind her. "Brother Yang Jian, you actually have such a wild side."

"Let me try my hand when we go back, okay?"

Yang Jian lifted his chin slightly. "Hurry up and chase, if you don't chase, Master will be out of sight."

"Who said she's out of sight? Isn't Nezha following her all along." Sun Wukong laughed and scratched his cheeks, then touched the Golden Hoop on his head. "But what is this 'cosplay' Master mentioned?"

Yang Jian shrugged. "You'll know when we go in."

The two of them overtook Tang An and Nezha and teleported into the park.

"Hey, having magic is money-saving, how come I didn't think of that, and wasted two tickets in vain."

Tang An had just bought two tickets and finished checking them, and was planning to buy tickets for the two of them when she found they had already gone in.

This was a Journey to the West-themed amusement park, and there were quite a lot of people inside. Everywhere were children wearing Golden Hoops and holding Golden Cudgels.

Yang Jian looked around curiously and said to Sun Wukong, "Monkey Brother, I didn't expect that in the future, so many children would like you."

Sun Wukong said modestly, "That's just because children like playing with sticks." But in reality, his face was blooming with smiles.

A child stopped in front of Sun Wukong, looking at the pure gold Golden Hoop on his head. "Mom, this big brother is also Sun Wukong."

"Big brother, can I take a picture with you?"

Sun Wukong looked at Tang An, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

Tang An smiled and nodded, signaling him to follow his own heart.

Thus, Sun Wukong's first photo with a child was born. ===== CHAPTER 421 =====
