Chapter 475: Chapter 475 Tian Peng Prepares to Visit Chang’e

After all, his relationship with Fairy Chang’e hadn’t progressed, and Chang’e was so beautiful that, while no one dared to say anything openly, surely many Immortal Officials and divine officials liked her in private.

His status was decent, but in terms of looks, there were far too many who were better than him.

If Sun Wukong knew about this, he would definitely tease him both openly and secretly. He was already somewhat insecure; what if Sun Wukong’s comments made him too scared to pursue Chang’e further?

"Let old Sun take a guess at which Fairy has you so distracted," Sun Wukong wandered around the shop.

Tian Peng picked up a cleaning rag from the washbasin and continued wiping, occasionally stealing glances at Sun Wukong.

"Is it the Fairy who came last time to buy two milk teas?" Sun Wukong asked.

Last time a Fairy wanted to buy two milk teas, and even though Tian Peng knew that one could only buy one at a time, he almost made them for her anyway.

It was Sun Wukong who stopped him, ensuring the Fairy got only one cup. Regardless, rules were not to be broken.

Seeing Sun Wukong guess wrong, Tian Peng sighed with relief. It seemed Mr. Monkey truly didn’t know who it was—he was just guessing after all.

Just by looking at Tian Peng’s demeanor, Sun Wukong knew he had guessed incorrectly. In fact, he had someone in mind, but he didn’t want to reveal it too soon.

Tian Peng was on high alert now; if he said it too soon, he might discourage him, so Sun Wukong decided to casually throw out a few names to lower his guard.

"It seems not," Sun Wukong took another couple of steps. "Is it the Fairy who came for grape soda today?"

The Fairy had stared at the drinks menu for a long while; Tian Peng had eagerly introduced her to all the drinks, but in the end, she chose the grape soda she always bought.

"Ah, you’ve run out of guesses, Mr. Monkey. Why are you guessing wildly?" Tian Peng’s smile was irrepressible, and sure enough, as he had thought, Sun Wukong genuinely didn’t know whom he liked.

Sun Wukong looked annoyed, "I got it wrong again, huh? Why is it so hard to guess?"

"Mr. Monkey, you’ll never guess it right, because there’s no one," boasted Tian Peng.

Sun Wukong snorted, looking at Tian Peng’s smug face and desperately wanting to kick him. So he paced back and forth again, "Who is it then? Just tell me."

"I’ve already said there’s no one, why won’t you believe me, Mr. Monkey!" Tian Peng was very pleased internally, but he pretended to be quite angry on the surface, as if Sun Wukong was truly wronging him.

Watching Tian Peng’s smug expression, Sun Wukong couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Is it Fairy Chang’e?"

Tian Peng froze instantly; his first thought was that Mr. Monkey had incredibly good luck, but he quickly denied it, "No, no, I told you it wasn’t. Mr. Monkey, are you planning to mention every Fairy who buys milk tea?"

Although Tian Peng’s reaction was quick, he did notice the momentary daze that overcame Tian Peng when he heard Chang’e’s name.

Indeed, it was Chang’e. This guy had hidden it so well, yet he still managed to guess it.

"You know it in your heart," Sun Wukong scoffed, "All for that Fairy you’ve only met a few times, you dared to say that all my advice was worthless. I truly misjudged you. From now on, I’ll leave you be!"

"Don’t be like that, Mr. Monkey, it’s not the same thing!" Tian Peng quickly explained, "Besides, Fairy Chang’e has only exchanged a few words with me; I don’t even know if she would like me. And look at me, I don’t even believe any Fairy would fall for someone like me."

In fact, Tian Peng was simply too burly, his very frame carrying a sense of oppression.

As a general, it was indeed an excellent physique, but as a partner, it seemed rather intimidating; even Tian Peng himself was aware of this.

Sun Wukong alone was equivalent to three of him.

Not just in size, but in martial strength, he still couldn’t beat Sun Wukong. If switched with Fairy Chang’e, she could command five of him - let alone being partners, even being friends seemed unlikely.

Sun Wukong was just gossiping, but who knew that Tian Peng would touch upon his sore spot? He quickly tried to console him, "Hey, Tian Peng, don’t think like that. Didn’t you say yourself that she told you many heartfelt things? That shows she doesn’t care much about appearances. Don’t feel ashamed because of this."

Tian Peng turned off the tap, "Mr. Monkey, I know what I look like, there’s no need to comfort me." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Alright, alright, I can’t comfort you," Sun Wukong, who was not good at consoling people, said, "Anyway, Fairy Chang’e has always been able to touch your heart, something us rough fellows can’t do. So, let her comfort you when the time comes."

In the following days, Tian Peng eagerly awaited Fairy Chang’e’s visit, but since the last time, she had not come to the shop to buy milk tea.

Actually, it had only been two days, but since Fairy Chang’e had previously come to buy milk tea every day, the fact that she hadn’t appeared for two straight days made Tian Peng incredibly anxious. He lacked passion in his work and even made several mistakes with the ingredients.

That evening after closing up, Sun Wukong could no longer bear to watch Tian Peng’s listlessness and spoke to him, "Well then, since you’re so concerned about her, why don’t you go to Guanghan Palace to see what’s going on?"

"Ah?" Although Tian Peng was very keen to go, he said, "But wouldn’t it be impolite to visit her unannounced?"

"That’s true," Sun Wukong feigned agreement, "then don’t go."

Seeing that Sun Wukong didn’t continue to persuade him, Tian Peng couldn’t stay seated and hurriedly stood up, "How can that be alright? Fairy Chang’e is alone in Guanghan Palace, it’s really not good. What if something has happened? No one is by her side. Maybe I should go check. If there’s a problem, I might be able to help."

"Since you’ve already decided, then why ask me?" Sun Wukong huffed as he spoke.

Tian Peng chuckled, "Don’t say it like that, Mr. Monkey. I’m just being a little modest."

"Fine, fine, let all the pleasantries and flattery be yours," Sun Wukong, without giving it deep thought, waved it off as Tian Peng’s way to ingratiate himself with Chang’e, who he was fond of.

When Tian Peng left the milk tea shop, Sun Wukong even made an exception and let him take a cup of milk tea to Chang’e.

Tian Peng trotted off to Guanghan Palace, carrying the milk tea.

The moon was where Guanghan Palace was situated, and it was as silent as ever. The place was vast, and apart from a giant osmanthus tree, no other life forms were to be seen,

After a considerable walk, Tian Peng finally found Fairy Chang’e’s Guanghan Palace. With an uneasy heart, he knocked on the door.

After a long while, there was no response, and Tian Peng was startled. Could it be that Chang’e wasn’t in Guanghan Palace?

It was indeed odd, for if Chang’e wasn’t inside Guanghan Palace, where else could she be?

Therefore, Tian Peng knocked on the great gate of Guanghan Palace again, "Fairy Chang’e, are you in there?"

This time he used a bit of mana to knock. Given the vastness of Guanghan Palace, and as the only resident being Chang’e, shouting with just his voice - without mana - risked him yelling until his throat tore before anyone inside could hear him.
