Chapter 183 Saint-Demi's Meeting
Chapter 183 Saint-Demi's Meeting
After agreeing with Lin Daiyu that he would add her to the group, Lin Liuyi hurriedly went to find Brother Monkey.
Great Sage, your wife has arrived!
After Daiyu finished eating the peaches, she indeed felt better.
The next day, Baoyu ordered a maid to bring over the festival gifts that the Imperial Concubine had bestowed upon him the day before, and told her to keep whatever she liked, but she refused them all.
How can any of this compare to the monkey's sincerity? I just wonder if the monkey really looks like the one in the book.
As Daiyu thought this, she couldn't help but bite her lip. What if she really looked too ugly?
She then went to pay her respects to Grandmother Jia. When Baoyu saw her, he rushed up to her and said with a smile, "I told you to pick my things, why didn't you pick them?"
Daiyu had long since put aside her worries about Baoyu from yesterday, but when she heard Baoyu bring it up again, she felt somewhat resentful. It wasn't because of Baoyu, but because she was, after all, the daughter of a noble family, yet the imperial concubine's reward was less than that of a woman from a merchant family. So she said, "I don't have such good fortune to receive such things. I can't compare to Miss Bao, with all that gold and jade. We are just ordinary people!"
Baoyu quickly explained and swore an oath.
Daiyu knew that she couldn't blame Baoyu for this, and besides, she had a monkey again, so she said, "You don't need to swear. I know very well that you have 'sister' in your heart, but you forget 'sister' as soon as you see 'elder sister'."
Baoyu offered another explanation, but this time Lin Daiyu didn't care. He gave her one explanation, and then he gave Baochai a different one.
Fine, fine, she'll grant their wish.
So she simply stopped arguing with Baoyu. Baoyu thought he had finally explained himself and that he did have feelings for Lin Daiyu.
Meanwhile, Lin Liuyi was looking for the Great Sage, but coincidentally, the Great Sage was causing a ruckus at the Peach Banquet. Upon hearing that Lin Liuyi had found his future wife, he hurriedly left the Heavenly Palace and returned to his Flower Fruit Mountain.
"June 1st, where is my dear sister Daiyu?"
Lin Liuyi didn't waste any time and quickly created a video connection for the two of them.
"Sister Daiyu?" the Great Sage asked softly to the person opposite him.
"You little monkey! How can you just come up to someone and call them 'sister' like that!" Daiyu covered her mouth with her handkerchief, blushing.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say, I'll call you that." The Great Sage scratched his head sheepishly and looked at the other person with a hint of shyness.
Looking at the Monkey King in his golden armor, Daiyu didn't think the monkey was so ugly after all.
"But you think I, Old Sun, am not human anymore? You wait!" Seeing Daiyu staring at him, Monkey King was afraid that she would dislike him because he was a monkey, so he immediately transformed, his monkey hair disappeared, and he revealed his complete human form.
Lin Liuyi was stunned. No, Great Sage, when did you learn this skill? She didn't remember this part when she watched Journey to the West!
With you showing your face so early, what chance do Erlang Shen have? You are undoubtedly the most handsome man in the Three Realms!
The man the Great Sage transformed into was handsome and refined, with bright eyes. In modern times, he would be a star at the very least.
Daiyu was also stunned. The Great Sage was not like Jia Baoyu, a pale-faced young man. Instead, he was more like Lin Ruhai, who was calm and full of life. She suddenly felt safe.
"Well, Daiyu, are you satisfied?" Dasheng looked at Daiyu expectantly, afraid that she was not satisfied.
Daiyu blushed and covered her mouth with her handkerchief, making a soft "Mmm" sound.
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Wukong was so happy that he did several somersaults.
Lin Liuyi was happily shipping the couple on the spot.
Seeing how happy the Monkey King was, Daiyu couldn't help but smile. She was about to say that she didn't care whether the Monkey King was human or monkey when she couldn't help but cough twice.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you sick?" Monkey King was very anxious. Daiyu was different from him. He was a stone monkey born with Taoist magic, so he was practically invulnerable to swords and spears and could not die.
Daiyu looked so delicate, which worried Wukong terribly.
"It's nothing, it's just an old ailment," Daiyu comforted him.
"Eat these two peaches first, and take this bottle of elixir as a snack too!" Monkey King busied himself taking out things, intending to send them to Lin Daiyu. He had specially scavenged this elixir from Laozi when he came out.
Lin Daiyu was overjoyed to see how concerned Monkey King was about her, but perhaps because she was spoiled, her temper flared up again.
"Are these things unique to me, or do all your monkey-like offspring have them too?"
"This is for you, only for you. I brought it especially for you. If you're still worried, I'll go to Heaven again and bring that Supreme Lord Laozi to you. I'll make that old man refine the elixir in front of you, and you can eat it fresh out of the furnace." The more Monkey King talked, the more feasible it seemed. He summoned his somersault cloud and wanted to return to Heaven.
"Hey, Great Sage Brother!" Daiyu quickly called out to him. She knew from reading the book that those people in heaven were not good people. What good could this silly monkey possibly get by going there?
When he heard Daiyu call him "Great Sage Brother," Monkey King was overjoyed.
"Sister Daiyu!"
"Great Sage, this is enough!"
Monkey King hurriedly asked the system to teleport him there, not even caring about the system's handling fee. He gave the system an extra bottle of elixir, instructing it to deliver everything to Daiyu intact.
After his joy subsided, the Great Sage said to the camera, "Daiyu, eat something quickly. You can't get sick and make me worry."
Daiyu happily resumed munching on the peach.
Seeing this, Lin Liuyi also started eating a peach. Daiyu glanced at her but didn't say anything, focusing on chatting with Monkey King.
As the two were chatting happily, a monkey came to report that someone from Heaven had arrived.
"Daiyu, you play with Liuyi for a while, I'll be right back!" Monkey King reluctantly turned off the video.
Daiyu lost her appetite for peaches. She had read the complete Journey to the West and knew that this was after the Monkey King had wreaked havoc in Heaven, and that Heaven had sent people to capture him.
Next, Monkey King will be imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain and will not be able to come out for 500 years.
"On June 1st, did the Great Sage really have to do this?" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Well, that's how it's written in the book. The Great Sage was pushed along by both Taoism and Buddhism. That's probably how the world's consciousness arranged it." Lin Liu had speculated with the system that this path to Buddhahood was one that the Great Sage was bound to take. Even if he didn't want to take it, who can say for sure what would happen with the later true and false Monkey Kings? In any case, in the eyes of the world, this path to Buddhahood was his.
"And what about me? Will I end up the same way?"
Lin Liuyi said that sometimes being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing, and could only comfort Lin Meimei. Now that she and Dasheng have both changed, maybe the ending will be different.
The Great Sage had just defeated the Nine Luminaries and was back online when he saw Daiyu crying. He immediately became anxious again.
"Good sister, don't cry. Who wronged you? I, Old Sun, will find a way to catch him right now!"
Daiyu was already quite sad, but after being interrupted by Monkey King, she was too embarrassed to cry anymore.
"Great Sage, are you alright?"
