"You've finally co, Tang Sanzang." Sun Wukong dug his ear leisurely and said.
At the entrance of the cave, a figure stood there.
"How did you know I would co?" The figure gradually approached; it was a plump, bald monk.
"I was expecting a beautiful monkey. Who would have thought it'd be a hairless baldy?" Sun Wukong continued to dig his ear with an embroidery needle that seed to be his Jingu Bang.
"You're not satisfied with , and I'm certainly not pleased with you either. Look at you, you're all hairy," Tang Monk said, plunking down onto a stone stool while staring at Sun Wukong.
"You don't understand, this is what's handso. The female monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain always say so," Sun Wukong remarked, still at ease.
"But outside, they call this 'non-mainstream' and 'visual-kei.'
"Nonsense, they just don't appreciate art." Sun Wukong paused and added, "The female monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain practically worship ."
Tang Sanzang tilted his head and stared at Sun Wukong, saying, "Let's talk about the important matters."
"Aren't we already talking about sothing important?"
"Right now, there are two demons outside who want to eat . Only you can help ," Tang Sanzang said, looking towards the cave entrance with worry.
"I'm a demon too, hehehe..." Sun Wukong said with a cold laugh, grinding his teeth.
Tang Sanzang stared at Sun Wukong for a long while before saying, "But you won't harm ."
"Why?" Sun Wukong didn't understand, asking doubtfully.
"Because you want to get out of this damned place."
Sun Wukong laughed.
Tang Sanzang thought Sun Wukong had relented, but then Sun Wukong said, "This place isn't bad; I don't want to leave."
Now, it was Tang Sanzang's turn to be perplexed.
"Why? Isn't this the punishnt Tathagata Buddha gave you?" Tang Sanzang was eager to understand because he knew if Sun Wukong didn't help, he was as good as dead today.
"Because I feel quite relaxed here. I eat, I sleep, and I don't have to fight all the ti. Nor do I have to worry about my safety like you do." After finishing cleaning his ear, Sun Wukong proceeded to pull out a chicken leg from his chest and started munching on it.
Tang Sanzang watched Sun Wukong eat, swallowing his saliva and staring fixedly at the chicken leg.
"You want to eat?" Sun Wukong asked.
"I don't. Monks cannot break their precepts," Tang Sanzang said, closing his eyes.
"But you haven't broken the precept against eating at; however, you have broken the precept against anger," Sun Wukong comnted while eating and watching Tang Sanzang.
"So what should I do?" Tang Sanzang asked.
Sun Wukong said nothing, simply pulling out another chicken leg from his chest and tossing it to Tang Sanzang, saying, "There's no difference between breaking one precept and two. Since that's the case, might as well be a gluttonous ghost, hehehe..."
Tang Sanzang stared at the chicken leg, wanting to pick it up, but he slipped and fell with a thud.
"How comical," Sun Wukong said.
"Damn this place, why is it so slippery!" Tang Sanzang cursed and started eating the dust-covered chicken leg.
"Eat, eat; if you don't eat, you won't have a life to worry about," Sun Wukong said.
Tang Sanzang stopped and looked at Sun Wukong, saying, "Let's make a deal, shall we?"
"Deal about what?"
"You save my life, and I'll let you leave this place," Tang Sanzang said.
"I think this place is nice. Besides, what if you go back on your word?" Sun Wukong wiped his greasy hands on his body and asked.
"I am a monk; I won't lie," Tang Sanzang said.
"But you've just broken the precept against anger, haven't you?"
"..." Tang Sanzang stopped talking, but in his heart, he thought: Damn monkey, so cunning.
Sun Wukong smiled cunningly and glared at Tang Sanzang, saying, "I forgot to tell you, I can read minds."
"Fine, pretend I didn't say anything just now. Let's continue this conversation about saving ," Tang Sanzang said.
"What reason do I have to save you, or rather, what's in it for ?"
"I can let you leave this place and gain your freedom," Tang Sanzang said.
Sun Wukong's expression darkened.
"Baldy, you talk too much. I've said it's nice here, and I don't want to leave. Besides, I feel quite free here too," Sun Wukong said impatiently.
"Monkey, do you really think it's free here?" Tang Sanzang asked.
"Isn't it? I can do whatever I want here."
"Then can you go outside?" Tang Sanzang asked.
"Why go out and be chased around by demons like a fool?" Sun Wukong yawned, seemingly uninterested in Tang Sanzang's line of questioning.
Tang Sanzang laughed too.
"Since you say so, then I'll be going." Tang Sanzang got up from the stone stool, patted the dust off his behind, and made to leave.
Sun Wukong felt anxious.
He wanted to leave.
Yes, he yearned to leave.
He didn't want to be trapped under Five-Finger Mountain forever, a prisoner of Tathagata Buddha.
He was defiant, not conceding to Tathagata Buddha, believing that Tathagata had reneged on his word, and if he really battled Tathagata, he might not necessarily lose.
So he needed an opportunity, and now, it had co in the form of Tang Sanzang.
Only Tang Sanzang could set him free, and only by leaving could he truly throw himself into battle once more.
Therefore, the mont Tang Sanzang spoke of leaving, he beca flustered and eagerly wanted to speak.
"Roar!" A thunderous roar ca from the entrance of the cave.
Sun Wukong laughed again.
Because he saw Tang Sanzang retreating back.
Tang Sanzang also had his plans; he hoped Sun Wukong would beg him as that would allow him to invest the least and gain the most. It was unfortunate the demons that wanted to eat him arrived too early.
"Damn it, so early!" Tang Sanzang cursed as he sat back down on the stone stool.
"Why have you co back?" Sun Wukong asked, "Didn't you say you were leaving?"
Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong. He dared not say a word, nor could he dare to think, for he knew Sun Wukong had the Mind Reading Technique.
