Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 616 - 577: You Can Call Me Xiao Hua

As soon as he heard those words, Zhu Bajie trembled violently. No one was more familiar with those words than he was, and no one else would ever say them to him again. With some disbelief, he slowly turned around. Zhu Bajie turned as slowly as an aged elder, as if every movement required a tremendous effort. But a turn was just a turn, and no matter how slow, he eventually completed it.

When Zhu Bajie turned around, he no longer saw a person identical to himself, but instead a very familiar, bald monk with a large beard. Seeing that unforgettably bald head, the crescent spade, and the nine large Buddha beads strung around the neck, Zhu Bajie immediately began shaking with excitement. "Brother Sha? Are you really Brother Sha? Not someone else trying to trick me?" Although Zhu Bajie couldn't contain his excitement, he still had to ask. He had been fooled pretty badly by his eldest brother pretending to be Cuilan before.

"Second Brother, I'm really Brother Sha, the genuine article, guaranteed. If you don't believe me, just ask me a few questions and you'll know I'm real!" The joy of reunion was indeed exciting, yet it could also impart a sense of unreality, the fear that it might be just another dream or a cruel joke. Especially for Zhu Bajie, who had long thought Brother Sha dead and had searched for him far and wide without any clue to his whereabouts, seeing him alive and well all of a sudden was bound to raise some doubts. After all, there was the example of Sun Wukong before this.

"Alright then, I'll ask you, where did I hide my private stash?" Sha Wujing pointed at Zhu Bajie's navel and said with a smile, "Inside your belly button, and also in your ear holes. How about that? Do you believe me now?" Hearing Sha Wujing's response made Zhu Bajie's eyes light up, his doubts vanishing as he rushed over for a bear hug. This time, however, he didn't break into tears because of his previous reunion with Sun Wukong. Instead, he just kept laughing heartily, while Sha Wujing was laughing too, though his eyes were brimming with tears.

After a good laugh and releasing each other, Zhu Bajie looked at Sha Wujing and said, "Brother Sha, you disappeared after the great battle. I thought you were dead. I even turned the Netherworld upside down and didn't find your soul. And now, your strength seems to be even greater than mine! Quickly, tell me, where have you been all this time?" Sha Wujing responded with a smile, "No rush, no rush. Let's go up first. Our eldest brother is still waiting up there. Once all the brothers are gathered, we'll talk in detail."

After saying that, Sha Wujing pulled Zhu Bajie and they flew upward. Zhu Bajie couldn't hide his displeasure and muttered, "I knew it, that rascal Bimawen has tricked me again. To trust him so much, and then he cons me twice in a row upon meeting. Hey, Brother Sha, you've got to back me up later. I won't feel right unless I give that Bimawen a good thumping!" As Sha Wujing floated upward, he looked back and advised, "Second Brother, I suggest you not do that. Never mind the two of us, even if we had two more of you and two more of me, we wouldn't be a match for our eldest brother." As they talked, they were already floating to the surface.

"You plague-ridden monkey, always taking joy in my troubles! I, a fire attribute spirit, jumped into the river to help you fight demons. Do you think that was easy for me? Brother Sha is such an honest fellow, and even he's been corrupted by you, collaborating to trick me!" As Zhu Bajie said this, he swung his arms, splashing water all around towards Sun Wukong. Sha Wujing had already leaped out of the river, and without waiting for Sun Wukong to speak, Sha addressed Zhu Bajie somewhat awkwardly, "Second Brother, you've misunderstood our eldest brother. This time, this idea was mine!"

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Still, he climbed out of the river and came up next to Sha Wujing, draping an arm around his shoulders and advising earnestly, "Brother Sha, you weren't like this before. You've even started playing tricks on your second brother. Stay away from that lousy monkey from now on; he's a bad influence!" After saying that, he glared at Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong didn't make much of it, in fact, having successfully pranked Zhu Bajie once, Sun Wukong felt quite pleased, so he let Zhu Bajie grumble a bit.

"Alright, that's enough. Brother Sha did it to surprise you, didn't he? I remember that's how we first met. Okay, it's time for us to head back." After speaking, Sun Wukong patted both Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing on the shoulders. In a flash, the three of them reappeared in front of the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven.

"Bajie, go call Little White Dragon back. I'm going to check on our master with Brother Sha. Tonight, we brothers are going to have a hearty drink!" At the mention of Master, Zhu Bajie's excited mood couldn't help but turn a bit gloomy. However, having come to terms with their master's death during the time Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing disappeared, Zhu Bajie was somber but nodded in agreement. He soon left Heaven as a streak of firelight.

Sun Wukong watched Zhu Bajie leave and then proceeded to the Peach Garden with Sha Wujing. After Sun Wukong died, Fan Xin, due to intense grief, further stimulated her Ancient Bloodline and completed her evolution, transforming into a human form. After defeating the two invading Demons alongside Zhu Bajie and the White Dragon, Fan Xin had remained at Flower Fruit Mountain, guarding Sun Wukong's monkeys and descendants in his stead. Although Fan Xin had left the Peach Garden, the garden itself hadn't changed much and remained as usual. Whether it was when Sun Wukong rebelled against Heaven or when Tathagata Buddha led a large army to launch a surprise attack on the Demon Clan and the Taoist Sect, they all seemed to tacitly avoid the Peach Garden.

Therefore, it could be said that the Peach Garden was the only piece of land that remained untouched by any war, a pure land. As Sun Wukong walked through, familiar with every blade of grass and tree and feeling Fan Xin's presence, emotions welled up inside him, but he didn't show them. He kept walking until he reached the deepest part of the Peach Garden, where the little peach tree used to be, which was now gone. However, a Stone Pavilion had taken its place at the center of which was an area about three meters in diameter, and at the very center of this space bloomed a little myriad flower.

Looking at the Void Transcendence Flower, Sun Wukong was overwhelmed with a rush of emotions. At that moment, a rainbow light suddenly passed in front of the pavilion's door and then transformed into a human figure. Seeing this figure, Sun Wukong was shocked and blurted out, "Fan Xin? Aren't you at Flower Fruit Mountain..." Before he could finish, Sun Wukong realized something was wrong. The aura of the person in front of him was very similar to Fan Xin's, but Sun Wukong, with his Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, immediately noticed the differences.

Although Sun Wukong had not seen Fan Xin's human form, the familiarity with her aura was engraved deep in his bones. The woman in front of him had a similar aura to Fan Xin's and even had a hint of his own bloodline. But her true form was a rainbow light, whereas Fan Xin's was a peach tree. The woman looked at Sun Wukong, blinked her large eyes a few times, and revealed a puzzled look, saying, "Who are you? Why do I feel so familiar? I'm not Sister Fan Xin; my name is Zixia."

"Zixia? Why are you here? I am Sun Wukong, I..." Sun Wukong said, suddenly finding himself at a loss in front of the woman. The woman tilted her head and continued to look at Sun Wukong for a while, then continued, "I have been here since I was born, collecting the dawn and dusk light to water this little white flower every day. You're called Sun Wukong? That name sounds very familiar, but I can't remember who you really are!" Then another voice rang out, ethereal and pleasant.

"Wukong, she is the swath of rainbow clouds that became tainted with blood back then and only recently gained Spiritual Wisdom," Sun Wukong said, stunned, then looked directly at the little myriad flower in the middle of the Stone Pavilion and said in surprise, "You, you are the Transcendence Bloom? You can speak?" The voice replied, "That's one way to put it, but not exactly. My body is indeed this Transcendence Bloom, but my soul is the Queen of Xiliang!"

Sun Wukong was left speechless, almost slipping out a cry of 'Mother Teacher'. Then, with a strange expression, he looked at the woman standing in front of the pavilion and asked, "She's the streak of rainbow from back then? The one I caught casually?" The Transcendence Bloom replied, "That's right. Because of the special spirituality in your blood and the nourishment of Fan Xin's Spiritual Energy, she quickly developed Spiritual Wisdom and took on human form!"

Sun Wukong nodded but immediately asked, "Then, that, that..." Sun Wukong momentarily didn't know how to address the Transcendence Bloom. Calling her 'Mother Teacher' seemed inappropriate, but calling her 'Transcendence Bloom' felt too disrespectful. The Transcendence Bloom then chuckled and said, "You can call me Xiao Hua, hehe!"

Sun Wukong was quite speechless, but at that moment, he couldn't think of a better name and somewhat awkwardly said, "Xiao Hua, I can resurrect my master!" (To be continued.
