Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Going to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom (4th Update!)

“Great Sage, you…”

The Nine-Tailed Fox Elder was frantic, his hand trembling as he pointed at Sun Wukong, not knowing what to say.

“What ‘you’? Didn’t I, Old Sun, make myself clear enough? The stuff you’ve brought here, I, Old Sun, don’t fancy, and no one on Flower-Fruit Mountain does! Since you’re unwilling to agree to Leng Xuan’s requests, then take your leave at once! Flower-Fruit Mountain only welcomes smart friends, not confused fools!”

Sun Wukong coldly snorted, his brows filled with impatience. Should this Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe’s Great Elder utter another word of nonsense, he wouldn’t hesitate to personally throw them out!

“Elder, the alliance is of great importance, let’s not be too hasty in rejecting it!”

The coldness in Sun Wukong’s eyes was clear for all the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe’s delegation to see, and a middle-aged man beside the envoy Elder whispered into his ear, “It’s clear that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven values this Leng Xuan highly. We may as well agree initially and let him return to his tribe to explain things to the Elder Council himself. Since the decision regarding his mother’s punishment was made by the Elder Council, let him prove if he has the ability to persuade the tribe to change the decision, right?”

...

“Hmm, that makes sense!”

The envoy Elder, enlightened by these words, thoughtfully nodded his head, then raised his gaze to Sun Wukong who sat upon the high platform and gave a respectful bow, “Great Sage, I heard your clear intentions. It’s not that I don’t want to agree, but the decision lies with the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe’s council. A change must be discussed by the entire council, and what I say alone doesn’t count. Great Sage, what do you think if we go this way? Please accept our goodwill, and then you and Grand Steward Leng can come with us to Qingqiu to converse with the Elder Council and call for a tribe meeting to re-discuss the matter. I believe we will give you a satisfactory answer. What do you say, Great Sage?”

“Go to Qingqiu?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect had been quiet for a while, which made Sun Wukong uneasy, feeling as if a storm was brewing. Going to Qingqiu at this time, if the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect took the opportunity to attack…

Sun Wukong glanced at Leng Xuan, who looked at him with hopeful eyes. Sighing inwardly, he nodded and agreed, “Alright, Old Sun and Leng Xuan will accompany you on this trip! But whether we can form an alliance will depend on whether those Elders of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe are sincere enough!”

“Rest assured, Great Sage, I will send a message to Qingqiu right away. I am confident that this trip will yield a favorable outcome!”

The envoy Elder was overjoyed. With a sign from Sun Wukong, he was led away by the demon soldiers to rest. Leng Xuan, half ashamed and half grateful, looked at Sun Wukong and whispered softly, “Boss, I’m sorry for the trouble! I know that leaving Flower-Fruit Mountain at this time isn’t quite appropriate, but…”

“There are no ‘buts’!”

Sun Wukong interrupted Leng Xuan, placing a hand on his shoulder and looking him straight in the eyes, he said in a deep voice, “Do you remember what I, Old Sun, promised you when you first came to Flower-Fruit Mountain? I promised that I would do everything in my power to help you return to the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe and clear your mother’s name! Now the opportunity has come. It’s the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe seeking an alliance with us, and it’s the best chance to fulfill your wish. I, Old Sun, am willing to take the risk for you! Because, we have already become brothers!”

“Boss!”

Leng Xuan’s eyes reddened slightly, then he suddenly hugged Sun Wukong, chuckling with a bit of a choke, “You are my big brother for life, Leng Xuan’s big brother for life!”

“Silly boy!”

Sun Wukong laughed, reaching out to pat Leng Xuan on the back, while Zi Lan Fairy, who followed a step into the council hall, wore a proud smile at the corner of her mouth. That was the man she deeply loved, affectionate and loyal, full of life and blood!

The envoy Elder of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe sent word back to Qingqiu, and soon after, news arrived from Qingqiu. They sincerely invited Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong and the Grand Steward of Flower-Fruit Mountain, Leng Xuan, to visit. As for the request made by Leng Xuan, they could discuss it at leisure in Qingqiu.

“Is it not just about admitting they made a wrong decision in the past and wronged a good person? Such a trivial matter, yet it’s so troublesome!”

Although Sun Wukong complained aloud, he decided to visit Qingqiu together with Leng Xuan. Having promised to help, he would see it through to the end. Besides, Sun Wukong was curious to see what this ancient Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was really like!

“Zi Lan, I will be back in no time. Just concentrate on your cultivation inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, and if you feel bored, you can chat with Qing’er or wander around Flower-Fruit Mountain.”

Since only Sun Wukong and Leng Xuan were invited by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, it was inconvenient to take Zi Lan Fairy with them. Sun Wukong could only leave her behind at Flower-Fruit Mountain, but before departing, he gave her some careful instructions.

Zi Lan Fairy had been at Flower-Fruit Mountain for more than five years, and her cultivation had reached the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm. However, she was still somewhat weak compared to the many experts at Flower-Fruit Mountain. Sun Wukong did not demand high or mighty cultivation from Zi Lan Fairy, but being a bit stronger would certainly add to her ability to defend herself. The Heaven-Piercing Tower at Flower-Fruit Mountain, unlike the restrictions of the Ascend to Heaven Platform in the Heavenly Court, had no limits for Zi Lan Fairy and other Flower-Fruit Mountain higher-ups like Leng Xuan.

If Zi Lan Fairy wished, she could even remain in the Ninth Layer of the tower to cultivate all day long!

Zi Lan Fairy naturally agreed to everything Sun Wukong said. As she watched Sun Wukong and Leng Xuan leave Flower-Fruit Mountain with the envoy of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe, a touch of sadness suddenly appeared on her face.

“Wukong, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. The Queen Mother has shown me great kindness. She has called me back to the Heavenly Court, and I cannot refuse to return. I’m sorry!”

A spirit butterfly appeared on Zi Lan Fairy’s fingertip, a unique messenger butterfly from the Jade Pool. She had received it two days earlier. It was a message from the Queen Mother, summoning her back to the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Court. The Queen Mother promised her that the Jade Emperor would not pursue her past mistakes, and her words were earnest. Zi Lan Fairy had no choice but to comply; after all, she had begged the Queen Mother to allow her to leave the Heavenly Court to come to Flower-Fruit Mountain, and she could not refuse to return.

With a light sigh, Zi Lan Fairy turned and went back to Water Curtain Cave Heaven. Two days later, after leaving a clone in the Heaven-Piercing Tower within Water Curtain Cave Heaven, she secretly departed from Flower-Fruit Mountain and returned to the Heavenly Court.

Sun Wukong was unaware of the message from the Queen Mother to Zi Lan Fairy, commanding her to return to the Heavenly Court. Under the guidance of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe’s envoy, they reached the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom located in the northern part of the East Victorious Divine Continent.

“Is this the entrance to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom? It doesn’t seem to be anything special!”

In the midst of a barren wasteland, Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows in surprise as he looked at the desert in front of him.
