One Night
Beneath the tranquil night sky, the Great Sage's expression was desolate and bitter, illuminated by the moonlight. It was a heart-wrenching sight.
He smiled silently as he gazed off into the distance. His fiery passion seemed to have been extinguished by a shower of ice.
Up ahead, Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan were affected by his emotions. Ye Zichen had watched the movie "Journey to the West," and although he didn't know everything, he knew most of the love and hatred between the Great Sage and Fairy Zixia. He also knew how deep the Great Sage's love for her was.
Pu Jingwan was different. She'd only met the Great Sage once. Right now, she was completely affected by the Great Sage's emotions. His emotions had driven her from her previous disdain towards Yang Jian to her current silence.
After thousands of years of waiting, the Great Sage was finally able to stand before Fairy Zixia once more.
After meeting again, all he got was a "it's all in the past". How cruel!
No one said anything else. Even when Yang Jian crawled out from beneath the Ruyi Jingu Bang, his face covered in dirt and dirt, he put his hands on his hips and cursed loudly. However, when they sensed the oppressive atmosphere, they all fell silent.
"What's going on? Why does the monkey look like that?"
Yang Jian snuck up to Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan and asked in confusion. He'd just crawled out of the ground, and his body still smelled of the earth.
He glanced at him but said nothing. He scratched his head, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hahahaha, I didn't guess right, did I? That monkey really was …."
"Shut up!"
Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan shouted at the same time, but the Great Sage was even faster.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang descended from the heavens. With a boom, it kicked up countless rocks and gusts of wind. Yang Jian, who'd just crawled out of the ground, returned to his "old home".
"Really? How on earth did he manage to live this long? I wanted to beat him up just now."
Pu Jingwan clenched her fists in anger. Even at a time like this, he was still making fun of the Great Sage? He was too heartless.
After spending so much time with him, she'd gained some understanding of Yang Jian.
His taunting skills had definitely reached the maximum level.
It was just that he wasn't smart enough. He didn't know when to mock and when to shut his mouth.
This kind of person should be silenced or made a mute so that he wouldn't come out and harm people.
In the face of Pu Jingwan's fury, Ye Zichen glanced at her, but said nothing. If one were to say that Yang Jian had gone overboard, he had always been like that. His words were filled with ridicule, but he never considered whether the situation was appropriate or not.
This could only be attributed to his personality. Ye Zichen, who'd known him for so long, didn't criticize him. He believed that the Great Sage was well aware of his personality, which was why he only used the Ruyi Jingu Bang to suppress him and did not fly into a rage.
He knew that Yang Jian's words were unintentional, but it was like a sharp blade that gently scratched his heart.
Ye Zichen walked up to the Great Sage and took out two bottles of divine brew. "Want some?"
The Great Sage grabbed the godly brew, then tilted his head back and poured the entire bottle into his mouth, not leaving a single drop behind. He didn't ask for more, and Ye Zichen didn't give it to him.
Ye Zichen drank to help him relax, not to make him drink himself into a drunken stupor.
"What do you think after that?"
Ye Zichen took a sip and laughed. The Great Sage rested his hands on the back of his head and leaned against the ancient tree he'd broken earlier. He looked up at the dazzling starry sky.
"What else could I think? Just live on."
His relaxed tone made Ye Zichen's heart ache. He understood exactly how the Great Sage was feeling right now.
They'd loved each other for so long, yet they'd broken up just like that.
Anyone else would be able to do it without the slightest bit of hesitation. The mess in front of him was the best explanation.
The Great Sage cared, very much!
"Then live on."
Ye Zichen patted the Great Sage on the shoulder, then swallowed his words. Saying anything more now was pointless. All he needed was the Great Sage's self-control.
Day and night alternated.
When day replaced night and brought dawn to the world, Ye Zichen and the others remained in the Yao Realm.
Halfway through, Yang Jian took advantage of the Great Sage's lapse to slip out from beneath the Ruyi Jingu Bang. This time, he'd learned his lesson. He didn't mention a single word about the possibility of being cuckolded. Instead, he picked up Little Burn and played with the dog.
Staying here was the Great Sage's idea. He said he wanted to use this method to stay with Zixia for a while longer.
After that, he might not disturb her life for the rest of his life. Instead, he would silently wish her happiness. Pu Jingwan revealed her rare emotional side. She covered her face and turned away, her shoulders trembling.
Perhaps she'd cried, or perhaps she hadn't.
No one knew what happened when she turned away, but they all knew that it had been a difficult night.
"How fast! It's already morning."
The Great Sage had been staring up at the sky all night. He spoke in a hoarse voice, then cracked his neck and slapped the ground.
He instantly shot to his feet and summoned the Ruyi Jingu Bang. He spun it around a few times, then slammed it back into the ground.
"Let's go."
This call brought Ye Zichen, Pu Jingwan, and Yang Jian back to their senses.
When they arrived in front of him, they heard the Great Sage laugh heartily.
"What are you doing? Don't worry too much about me. What's in the past is in the past. Let's hurry back to the God Realm. Doesn't Ye-zi have a lot of important business to take care of? Let's not waste any more time. "
"Do you have any idea who it was that delayed us?" asked Yang Jian, who'd been ignored all night.
Pu Jingwan glared at him, and Ye Zichen couldn't help but facepalm. Even the Howling Celestial Dog slapped its ears in exasperation.
In response, the Great Sage was even more direct.
As soon as Yang Jian said this, he felt his head go dark. He looked up and saw the Great Sage's Ruyi Jingu Bang towering into the sky.
Yang Jian's expression instantly froze.
"Monkey Bro, don't mess around. Heh heh heh …" Yang Jian laughed sheepishly. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Hurry up and put away your divine abilities."
He smelled like dirt, and if he tasted it carefully in his mouth, there were even bits of mud in it.
After eating half a night's worth of dirt, Yang Jian didn't want to eat any more.
The Great Sage snorted, then put the Ruyi Jingu Bang back into his ear. Yang Jian, frightened, stood obediently to the side and giggled foolishly. Ye Zichen didn't hesitate any longer. He nodded.
The way he saw it, it really was best to leave as soon as possible. Leave this place of grief for the Great Sage.
At that moment, Ye Zichen's transmission slip glowed. He took it out and sent his divine sense into it. Xuan Ji's transmission appeared in his sea of consciousness.
