Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 656 - 604: Just One Word: Eat!

But when Sun Wukong fished Zhu Bajie out of Thunder Pond, Bajie was already wiping his mouth and belching contentedly. Seeing Zhu Bajie's satisfied look, Wukong wished he could kick him directly. Still, he ultimately restrained himself. However, he didn't let Zhu Bajie off the hook, grabbing his big ears, Wukong scolded, "You buffoon, must you eat everything? Do you know what you just ate? Did you have enough of living? Or do you want to turn into something unrecognizable like the Underworld God Army?"

Seeing Wukong's outburst, Bajie patted his belly and cried out, "Aiyo, Brother Monkey, be gentle, my ears are about to fall off. Let's talk this out nicely." Wukong didn't loosen his grip at all and said, "Pulling your ears is already letting you off easy, you know? I'm holding back from thoroughly thrashing you only because you're my junior brother. Today I must teach you a lesson. Not everything can be eaten willy-nilly!"

Zhu Bajie, covering his ears, howled, "So what if I ate two broken chains? Seeing them sunk at the bottom, I couldn't help but salivate. It's not like they were some rare treasure. Brother, please, be gentle, it hurts so much!" Wukong, seeing that Bajie was genuinely in pain, tears even welling up, finally let go of his ears. Although Wukong was still furious inside, in the end, he still cherished his second junior brother. "Bajie, oh Bajie, when will you change your gluttonous ways? Some things can't just be eaten willy-nilly. Do you even know what you just ate?"

Zhu Bajie rubbed his red ears and said plaintively, "It was just two broken chains after all, could they be treasures of some sort? When have you become so stingy, big brother?" Wukong sighed and, instead of explaining to Bajie right away, he immediately used his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes and stared at Bajie, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. "Eh? You dope, haven't you noticed anything wrong?"

Zhu Bajie scratched his head and said, "Something wrong? Didn't feel a thing, just a bit stuffed!" Wukong pressed Bajie's belly skeptically and then tried injecting some spiritual power into it. This was Wukong's unique Five Elements Spiritual Power, not something any ordinary person could absorb. However, this batch of Five Elements Spiritual Power entered Bajie's belly and after circulating through his meridians, Wukong directed it into Bajie's dantian, then severed his connection to the spiritual power.

"This is strange, the spiritual power all went into your dantian. Bajie, don't you feel like there's some mysterious disappearance of spiritual power inside you? As if suddenly there's a hole in your dantian, devouring your spiritual power? Hey, blockhead? What are you doing?" After Wukong finished speaking, he realized that Bajie had closed his eyes, a look of pure enjoyment on his face. Calling out to Zhu Bajie twice yielded no response, prompting Wukong to kick out in annoyance finally.

The kick landed squarely on Bajie's sizable backside, startling him so much that he stumbled and face-planted. Getting up with a sheepish smile, he waggled his bottom over to Wukong and said, "Big brother, what was that just now? It felt even more nourishing than eating a ten-ingredient tonic pill! My good Monkey Bro, do it again, pretty please, Brother Monkey~" Wukong pushed Zhu Bajie's face away with one hand, saying, "Cut it out, or I'll really burst your dantian next time. Now answer me, is there a feeling in your dantian as if a big hole has appeared, sucking away your spiritual power?"

Zhu Bajie focused inward to sense his state, then shook his head vigorously. "Don't feel a thing. But I do feel as if I've become more gluttonous. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I could devour the entire mountain of Spirit Stones just like before." As soon as Bajie finished his sentence, he noticed Wukong was about to give him another kick and quickly dodged, giggling mischievously. Wukong ignored his claim of being able to eat an entire mountain and said seriously, "The two chains you ate at the bottom of Thunder Pond, along with their small locks, I don't know their names, but I got them from a group called the Underworld God Army. Everyone in the Underworld God Army is bound by these chains, granting them an Immortal Body. No matter how many times or how severely their physical bodies are destroyed, they will not die and will recover quickly. Even I can't kill them."

After Wukong finished, Zhu Bajie's eyes widened. Then, he pulled out his Nine-Toothed Rake, ready to give his belly a try to see if he, too, possessed an immortal body. Wukong watched Bajie's actions without intervening, not because he wanted to see if Bajie had become immortal, but because he knew Bajie well - Bajie didn't have the courage to harm himself.

As expected, Bajie only gestured a few times but ultimately couldn't bear to harm his own flesh, he chuckled awkwardly and withdrew the Nine-Toothed Rake. Wukong then continued, "However, those bound by such chains have nearly ninety percent of their spiritual power absorbed by the small locks every day. Most importantly, unless one dies, the chains can't be removed." Bajie was taken aback and only then realized why Wukong had been asking if he felt his spiritual power being absorbed. Bajie looked a bit nervous. Having ninety percent of one's spiritual power absorbed daily would ruin anyone, their cultivation never to improve again.
