Chapter 10: How Could You Have Such a Disgusting Thought

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the Monkey King mentioned his previous life, he was still a little angry. “When I saw that I was going to die, I threw out my ape heart, the so-called Six-eared Macaque, to fool them. 

“They also knew that I used the Six-eared Macaque to fool them. In my battle with the Six-eared Macaque, the one who died was not my ape heart, the Six-eared Macaque. It was the real me who took the opportunity to fake my death.”

The Monkey King sighed and said, “Cutting off the ape heart was a good thing for me. Later, the Six-eared Macaque went on the pilgrimage to obtain the scriptures. I faked my death and escaped from my enemies. 

“However, my enemies knew me very well and knew that I couldn’t tolerate this vengeance like how the Dragons did. They were also afraid that if they pushed me too far, I would fight to the death with them. 

“Moreover, they were also afraid of me. I was a God that appeared out of nowhere. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tried to rope me in to be on their side. Thus, they turned a blind eye to my escape.

“Didn’t I go to the Netherworld to draw a line between myself and my monkeys? I originally brought my monkeys to shatter the void to find a comfortable life for myself. Who knew that I would encounter a spatial rift storm. When a spatial rift storm attacked me, I sent my monkey brothers into space to protect them. I may have died at that moment. After all, I’ve been reincarnated.”

Yan Qixun, who had seen movies on Gods of Honor and Journey to the West, could understand him. After all, there were countless versions of Gods of Honor and Journey to the West. However, Gongyu Mingxi, Yan Lingsu, and Yan Lingyu were all confused. Besides, Journey to the West had not been written yet at the time of their existence. 

However, when Gongyu Mingxi saw his son’s angry expression, she knew he had been wronged.

‘But Son, I can’t help you vent your anger on the Gods’ Gongyi Mingxi was thinking to herself and patted her son’s shoulder in despair.

Although she had memories of her previous life, and these were all her children, this son was the only one who followed her surname. He was the heir of the Gongyu family, so it was inevitable that she would feel some heartache. Seeing how her son had been wronged, how could a mother not feel despair?

On the other hand, even though Gongyu Hao was a little angry, it did not matter anymore. After all, others temporarily controlled him due to the Golden Fillet. He used the Six-eared Macaque to get rid of the Golden Fillet, and the Monkey King was finally free! Not only did he cut off karma, but he also made use of the Gods and Buddhas who tried to control his fate. Even if he were to throw himself into the mortal world and start from scratch, he would still be happy.

He could not bear to be wronged! As long as he was free, he didn’t care if he was a mortal. He was a monkey that was born and raised by nature. In the end, even those monkeys from the Huo Guo mountain were not his kind. And even though he was a mortal in this life, he had a family. It felt pretty magical and pleasant.

Yan Qixun expressed her worship. “Second Brother, let me give you a son. Listen to me sing.”

“The moon splashes on the river of stars, and the road is long. The wind and smoke are fading, and the shadow is fading. I’m extraordinary, and I’m the one who has been told to love and hate. In the end, do I suffer from loneliness?

“The illusionary world is in the sky, the hostility and resentment are not in the bosom, the enlightenment is blurred, and the six dust does not change.

“Anger, grief, and madness could be a man or a ghost or a monster, but the heart has the devil’s debt. Calling on Buddha, but there’s no turning back. Kneel to him as a teacher, and life and death do not matter.

“The world full of truth and falsehood, fate among people scattered and gathered indistinctly, it is brutal to break! What use do I have of this iron rod, so what if I have this change? 

“Life is still uneasy, and still gloomy, and a Golden Fillet is a fillet. I want this iron rod to do what it wants but have this confusion of change.

“Crushing the spiritual sky, unbridled and unruly, the world is a dangerous place. This rod will surely turn you into ashes.”

After Yan Qixun finished her song, she used her small eyes to signal everyone to express their thoughts. Speaking of which, she felt that this song suited Brother Monkey. Unfortunately, it was undeniable that everyone did not understand her gaze. 

Gongyu Mingxi smiled and said, “Although the song is weird, it still resonates with people’s hearts. The lyrics are perfect.” 

Yan Lingsu nodded. “I undoubtedly feel that the lyrics are sad and helpless.”

Gongyu Hao sighed at her song. “Speaking of which, my master, my two brothers, and that Little White Dragon were much more miserable than me. My master was initially the Golden Cicada. He was Buddha and had no choice but to reincarnate as a human. 

“Zhu Bajie was also the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Court. In the end, he was accused of coveting Chang’e. Not only was he being punished to the mortal world, but he also reincarnated as an ugly pig! It’s pretty insulting— the Gods and Buddhas of the Heavens were all f*cking heartless! 

“My Third Brother, Sha Wujing, although he was only a Curtain Lifting General of the Heavenly Court, he was still an immortal, right? He broke a cup, and they used this as an excuse to demote him to the mortal world. He became a river demon and suffered the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart. It was not fair. 

“Besides, the miniature white horse was even more miserable. He used to be Dragon Crown Prince. In ancient times, he would be noble. F*ck! In the end, he became a horse! He had no choice.” 

In the end, he concluded, “The Gods are detestable!”

His story finished, and he was too lazy to discuss it in detail. Besides his mother, it seemed like his sisters knew some of it.

At this time, Yan Qixun, who had read Journey to the West since she was young, watched Journey to the West, played Journey to the West, and watched countless interpretations of Journey to the West, had to take action. She then told her mother, the mythical story of Journey to the West. 

As for why she was so familiar with the story?

Of course, Yan Qixun would not say that her second brother was a character in a fairy tale in his past life. After all, her second brother was sitting right in front of her and eating a giant, flat peach. Who could say that Journey to the West was just a story? She could only say that there were records of her second brother’s deeds in the future, and she had read it from a book.

The Brother Monkey took a sizeable flat peach and nibbled on it. He did not forget to ask everyone to join him. “Don’t be shy. I’ve collected a lot. There are also many other fruits. Let’s eat them slowly in the future.”

They picked the fruits they preferred and nibbled on them as they listened to Yan Qixun’s story of the ups and downs of the fairy tale. They had mixed feelings of joy and anger when they heard of the Monkey King’s story.

After Yan Qixun finished telling her brother’s story, she curiously asked her brother, “Brother, do you have a pocket dimension? Is it some kind of portable storage? A treasure chest?”

Gongyu Hao pursed his lips and looked as if he did not care about those magical treasures. “I do not need to bother about the magical storage? I brought my pocket dimension and was born with it. All Gods naturally have their pocket dimension.”

“It’s in your ear?” Yan Qixun continued to ask curiously. 

Gongyu Hao rolled his eyes. “Of course not. How can you eat something that comes out of my ear? How can you have such disgusting thoughts?”

Yan Lingyu chuckled at his comments. Yan Qixun agreed said, “Alright, it’s quite disgusting. But didn’t you take your Golden Cudgel out of your ear when you used it?”

Gongyu Hao said, “How do you know? I pretended to take it out from my ear just to look more handsome.” Yan Qixun expressed her disdain from his answer.

Gongyu Hao said, “Enough about me, how about you, Third Sister? If you do not want to talk about it, it’s ok. You are still my sister by blood.”

As a former immortal, he was not interested in his sisters’ past lives. In any case, they were his sister now, and they were related by blood. They had been in the womb for ten months. Nothing could take that away. Even if they had suffered some grievances in their past lives and couldn’t turn back time, it was useless to overthink about it. After all, he is still here in this life.

Yan Lingsu was silent for a moment before she said, “Second Brother is a God, but I am a mortal. There is nothing worth mentioning. My parents died, and I am an orphan..”
