Chapter 342: Returning from a Rewarding Journey
Translator: Kazeyuki_ Editor: Jimmy_
Qin Wushuang stayed for more than a month after accepting the Monkey King’s invitation. During this time, he was not only captivated by the beautiful scenery of the Monkey King Mountain, but he also experienced the spiritual Qi surrounding this place. And in this Monkey King Mountain, within each step, there were medical and miraculous fruits. Qin Wushuang had eaten many of the treasured herbs and fruits to his content under Bao Bao’s insistence.
And to the accumulation of the Spiritual Qi and Qin Wushuang’s martial arts stage, these things were extremely beneficial. This month long stay had allowed Qin Wushuang to consolidate his Advance Stage.
However, each time Bao Bao wanted to spar with Qin Wushuang, he felt depressed. Although the current Bao Bao was at the Perfect Stage, he already had extraordinary combat power despite his non-stabilized strength. If Qin Wushuang used the Graceful Spiritual Bow, Bao Bao would not be able to defeat him. If he did not use the bow, then he was less powerful than Bao Bao.
After spending one month together, this human and beast had built a deep relationship. Qin Wushuang had communicated to Bao Bao some of the interesting things about humans. It filled Bao Bao with excitement and a desire for Qin Wushuang to take him to the human countries to see the world.
Qin Wushuang laughed: “Bao Bao, for this matter, it would not work if you just ask me. The Silver Monkey King must also agree.”
Bao Bao said with a joyful smile: “The Silver Monkey King will not object.”
“Why?” Qin Wushuang was curious.
“If I am going to the Xuan Yuan Mound or other Spiritual taboo places, the Silver Monkey King would object for sure. He would say that I am not strong enough. However, your human countries has the least risk in the entire Tian Xuan Land. If I cannot even go there, then I can only stay at the Monkey King Mountain.”
Bao Bao’s words made Qin Wushuang laugh involuntarily: “Alright, if you can persuade the Silver Monkey King, I have no problem.”
Bao Bao bounced up: “Alright, I am going to ask him now.”
After he had finished, like a fleeing arrow from the bow, he disappeared in a gold light.
This was the truth behind an anxious and impatient monkey.
When Qin Wushuang returned to the Stone Forest Cave, the Silver Monkey King had obviously received the news from Bao Bao. He looked at Qin Wushuang with a smile.
“Wushuang, Bao Bao said that he wants to go with you to experience the human world, you will not object?”
“Silver Monkey King, it will be an honor to have the Gold Monkey King accompany me. What reason would I have to be against it?” Qin Wushuang answered smartly.
The Silver Monkey King said with a smile: “Since that’s the case, let Bao Bao follow you to see the human world. However, Wushuang, Bao Bao is the Gold Monkey King, he is deeply connected to the fate of the Monkey Clan. I hope you can take care of him.”
Qin Wushuang nodded seriously: “King, since you have entrusted Bao Bao to me, I will not let anything happen to him even if my body is torn and my bones crushed.”
The Silver Monkey King laughed: “Even the most powerful human warrior will not be able to hurt the Gold Monkey King. I am just afraid those elite warriors from the spiritual taboo places wandering in the human countries. Those warriors are not people that Bao Bao could face against. By the way, even at the Monkey King Mountain, I cannot protect Bao Bao if they come here.”
Bao Bao cried out: “King, I am smart. If I cannot fight them, I will run away. I will take care of them when I’ve gained my strength. Ha ha.” Both the Silver Monkey King and Qin Wushuang laughed.
“Ok, Bao Bao, you have stayed at the Monkey King Mountain for too long, and it’s time for you to see the world. I would be worried if you were to go anywhere else. However, the human countries are the most suitable places for you to gain some experience. Wushuang, since Bao Bao is going with you to experience the world, he is your friend. He can help you resolve your matter and help bear your burdens. Don’t be overprotective just because he is the Gold Monkey King.”
Suddenly, the Silver Monkey King changed his tone.
After a moment of silence, Qin Wushuang finally understood. Since he was going out to experience things, it would not help him gain any experience if Qin Wushuang was too overprotective.
“Bao Bao, if you are required to make a move between Wushuang and the Nine Palace, don’t hold back. Humph, the Monkey Clan can afford to offend the Nine Palace Faction.”
Bao Bao yelled: “Even if we cannot afford to offend them, I will beat them if they make me annoyed! I am the Gold Monkey King, could it be that I am scared of them?”
Strangely, Silver Monkey King was not against of his words. Instead, he encouraged: “Yes, you are the Gold Monkey King, you must grow up through battles! When it’s time to battle, you must bring out the feisty part of the Monkey Clan and show them the power of a Gold Monkey King!”
The Silver Monkey King said with a serious and sincere tone as if he was teaching his own offspring.
Bao Bao waved his two forearms to show his agreement.
“I think that in about six or seven days, those elders of the clan will return. You guys make some preparation and you can leave as soon as the elders return. Bao Bao, you must return to the Dispersed Praying Mountain in ten years time. The grudge between the Monkey Clan and the Barbarian Tribe cannot wait any longer than ten years!”
Bao Bao withdrew his playfulness and said seriously: “Ok, I will return before the ten year deadline. I will overturn the Barbarian Tribe!”
To Bao Bao, Qin Wushuang welcomed him very much. Regardless of everything else, Bao Bao would be a capable helper. The Silver Monkey King also promised that Bao Bao could help him deal with the Nine Palace Faction. This was another bonus.
Although Qin Wushuang knew that the Silver Monkey King would never make such decision that would not benefit him, regardless of any aspects, he had more confidence dealing with the Nine Palace Faction with Bao Bao by his side!
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang also remembered those words of Young Master Zhao. He said that Zuo Tianci, the Head of the Nine Palace was connected to the Xuan Yuan Mound.
This unknown layer of relationship had left Qin Wushuang feeling somewhat worried.
Qin Wushuang profoundly understood that in order to grow in the Tian Xuan Land, it would not be easy to survive without some capable helpers. With Bao Bao beside him and when he retrieved the Purple Flaming Electric Beast through the Seven Deadly Formation Arrays, he would have two elite warriors at the Perfect Stage accompanying him.
With this set up and these trump cards, he would surely give the Nine Palace Faction a big surprise when dealing with them.
Currently, the Nine Palace Faction was definitely spending all their efforts on finding a way to deal with his Graceful Spiritual Bow. And they must also be focussing their attention on Zhu Buqun, this newly arisen Perfect Stage.
They would never know that Qin Wushuang, a Middle Stage warrior in the past would hold two decisive trump cards! When he thought here, Qin Wushuang also felt extremely thrilled.
He already looked forward to handing this giant surprise to the Nine Palace Faction. The news of how he had taken Zhu Dazhong’s head, and Young Master Zhao as prisoner would also be the other surprises he would give to the Nine Palace!
…
Indeed as the Silver Monkey King had predicted, those elite warriors of the Monkey Clan had returned to the mountain after six days. When they learned about the invasion from the Barbarian tribe, these powerful warriors were filled with both anger and shock. After learning of the entire incident, they were also extremely grateful to Qin Wushuang.
Naturally, these elders did not object to letting Bao Bao go with Qin Wushuang to experience the human countries. All of them supported this idea.
On this morning, the Silver Monkey King led the group and accompanied Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao to the bottom of the mountain. The Silver Monkey King repeatedly gave instruction to Bao Bao.
After his instructions, he walked to Qin Wushuang and a jade box appeared in his hand. He said to Qin Wushuang: “Wushuang, after a discussion with the elders of the clan, we’ve decided to give you this as a parting gift. Please take it.”
Bao Bao grabbed it and said with a smile: “What present, let me see if you are being too cheap.”
When he opened it, he saw two blueish-gray fruits the size of a dragon eye fruit. It appeared extremely captivating like a flawless jade carved from stone. Emitting a delicate fragrance, it made Qin Wushuang feel refreshed and his entire body experience a wave of delight after smelling it.
Bao Bao laughed: “Tsk tsk, this time, the elders are being quite generous. Boss Wushuang, you are rich. This Green Ice-Heart Fruit is a thousand year fruit! When a human consumes it, even the one with the most ordinary talent could acquire the power of the Upper Sky and receive at least five hundred years of life!”
Qin Wushuang sucked in a breath of cold air: “What… How could I dare accept this?”
The Silver Monkey King gave a long sigh: “Wushuang, since this is our clan’s kindly feelings, just take it. After all, without you, most likely the Barbarian Tribe would have taken the entire Monkey King Mountain. Not to mention these rare fruits. In the mountain, we only have a single digit of these thousand year fruits. Its rarity is apparent. However, when we give out gifts, it is considered good fortune to give out things in pairs. Thus, we are giving you two, please don’t decline.”
Bao Bao urged him: “Yes, Boss Wushuang, without you, the Monkey Clan would have been in great trouble. Especially that Holy Ivory Flower, it would be a disaster if those Barbarians had taken it. Compared to those things, despite the rarity of these two fruits, it’s incomparable to the Holy Ivory Flower.”
All the other elders also nodded: “Take it, you are the first human to receive such gifts from the Monkey Clan, don’t decline.”
Qin Wushuang was deeply moved as he felt the passion from the Monkey Clan. It was exactly as the information had said that the Monkey Clan understood how to be grateful. They were the easiest clan to interact with in the Dispersed Praying Mountain.”
He immediately took it and said: “This way, I will not hesitate.”
Bao Bao laughed: “If you hold back, it would mean that you look down on the Monkey Clan.”
All the elders of the clan laughed. Silver Monkey King said: “Ok, this is farewell. Bao Bao, remember, the ten year promise.”
“Yes!”
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Wushuang’s sleeve: “Boss Wushuang, let’s go! I can’t wait to experience and see the colorful human world.”
Under the eyes of the Silver Monkey King and a group of monkey elders, Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao disappeared from their sight.
…
During the trek, Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao did not cause trouble intentionally. Along the way, Bao Bao had a lot of questions as if he had a catalogue of “One Hundred Thousand Questions of Why.” He kept asking a variety of questions.
Qin Wushuang was rather patient and answered all his questions without the slightest hint of frustration.
After walking for ten days, they arrived at the border of the Dispersed Praying Mountain. Qin Wushuang suggested: “Bao Bao, you are the Gold Monkey King. Each of your movements represents great importance. Thus, when we go out, I would like to ask you to hide inside my storage knapsack. I don’t want the people of the Nine Raven Country to know your background so as to avoid creating unnecessary trouble.”
Bao Bao had always heard about the evilness of humans from the Silver Monkey King. He nodded: “Ok, let’s make a deal that I will only hide for a while. After passing through this checkpoint, you must let me out.”
“Of course.” Qin Wushuang opened the storage knapsack. Suddenly, in a flash, something rushed out and it was Zhu Dazhong’s spiritual mouse. Qin Wushuang had sealed its movements. However, after this time, the effect had worn out and this spiritual mouse had regained its sense.
Now, after seeing an opening, it escaped and dug inside the earth.
Bao Bao laughed when he saw a spiritual mouse: “Let’s see where you can run off.”
He followed after this mouse and also dived underground.
