The friendship between Sun Wukong and Nezha was indeed profound, which could be seen from the way they spoke to each other. Would they banter like this if their friendship hadn't reached a certain level?
Regarding why he was traveling to the West, if it had only concerned himself, Sun Wukong would have certainly told Nezha directly.
In Sun Wukong's view, he and Nezha were the type who could share their hearts with each other.
However, this matter didn't just concern him alone; it also involved his master's life and death, and even Zhu Bajie's. If the matter were to be exposed prematurely, it wouldn't just be his own life that was threatened, but his master's and junior brother's as well.
To bet his master's and his junior brother's lives for the sake of his friendship? Sun Wukong couldn't do such a thing.
Since he couldn't tell, and similarly, since Sun Wukong didn't want to deceive Nezha, naturally, he could only respond to this question with silence.
Although Nezha looked like a young child, he had lived for nearly two thousand years and was already mature in mind.
Seeing Sun Wukong's silence, Nezha didn't insist on prying to the bottom of it. Instead, he smoothly changed the topic to sothing else, like whether there were any interesting things encountered on the Journey to the West?
Thinking about amusing incidents, Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then recounted the story of the four sages testing their Zen hearts to Nezha.
After all, when talking about the most interesting thing on the Journey to the West, was there anything more amusing than Zhu Bajie kissing Bodhisattva Guanyin?
"Wow, Marshal Tianpeng reincarnated as a pig, and he actually, actually…" Hearing the story of the four sages testing their Zen hearts, Nezha's eyes widened in astonishnt.
Suddenly, he lay on the Chaos Heaven Silk laughing and rolling, and then, with an 'ouch', he actually rolled off the Chaos Heaven Silk and fell to the ground.
"It seems, despite the hardship of dining in the wind and sleeping in the dew on your Journey to the West, there are still quite a few amusing incidents, much more interesting than my ti in heaven!" Nezha said after chatting for a while about so funny incidents encountered on the Journey to the West.
"Dining in the wind and sleeping in the dew? Hardship?" On hearing Nezha's words, Sun Wukong's expression was sowhat strange.
"What's wrong? Is sothing not right?" Sun Wukong's strange expression caused Nezha to pause for a mont, looking at him curiously.
"It's true we often slept outside, but dining in the wind? Well, on this journey to the West, our als seem to be much more delicious than any delicacy!" Thinking of the tasty als and especially those grilled skewers and hotpot that the master made along the way, Sun Wukong involuntarily swallowed.
"Are you joking? On your journey to the West, you should be thankful if you could eat your fill, yet you were able to eat well?" Sun Wukong's words left Nezha sitting up, staring at him in confusion.
"Do you think I look like soone who jokes?" Sun Wukong said impatiently to Nezha, who appeared surprised and bewildered.
"How is that possible? Spending so much ti cooking would greatly affect the pace of your journey to the West, wouldn't it? You've been traveling for about a year now, right? How far have you gone?" After thinking for a while, Nezha asked Sun Wukong.
"How far have we gone? Let think, we took so detours, plus we stayed at Wuzhuang Temple for two months. We actually traveled for only about nine months, averaging twenty to thirty miles a day. That's less than a thousand miles a month, so by now, we should have traveled about eight thousand miles!" Sun Wukong calculated quietly for a mont before speaking out a rough estimate.
"The Journey to the West is one hundred and eight thousand miles. So you've been walking for a year and have only covered just a fraction of it? Are you really on a journey to the West or are you just traveling for fun?" Nezha said, barely able to suppress a laugh.
"We had no choice; we kept encountering trouble along the way!" Sun Wukong spread his hands and said with so resignation.
"You said your als were very good? I still find it hard to believe. It's getting late, and it seems about ti for dinner, right? How about I co over and have a al before leaving?" Nezha asked Sun Wukong as he looked at the sky, noting that it was getting late.
"Sure, let's go!" Sun Wukong nodded in agreent and with those words, he leapt into the air and flew towards Jiang Liu.
And Nezha? He used his ability to transform, turning into a handso young man, and followed Sun Wukong in flight.
Hadn't he just been in a fierce battle with Sun Wukong, and now they were going to eat together? It didn't seem quite fitting.
So, it was better to transform and avoid drawing too much attention.
...
At this ti, Jiang Liu was cooking, boiling a pot of century egg and lean pork congee topped with a sprinkle of green onions, the aroma of which wafted around irresistibly, prompting an involuntary lick of the lips.

He also stir-fried a few dishes with a mix of ats and vegetables, making this evening's al quite sumptuous.
Although the Tang Dynasty didn't have century eggs, making so wasn't too difficult a task!
Of course, due to Zhu Bajie, the big eater, the al might have looked like just a few dishes mixed with at and vegetables, but the portions were quite large.
Zhu Bajie alone could eat as much as ten people, and that was when he wasn't even eating as much as he wanted.
Before the dishes were ready, two streaks of escape light flitted by, and Sun Wukong together with Nezha, now disguised as a handso young man, descended.
"Hmm, it really slls good!" Nezha said in admiration after landing and twitching his nose a few tis.
```
"Wukong, who is this!?" Jiang Liu, who was cooking, glanced at Nezha and asked Sun Wukong.
"Master, this is my friend, his na is..."
Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Sun Wukong casually explained, but as he ntioned Nezha's na, Sun Wukong paused slightly and then turned to Nezha, asking, "Right, what should I call you!?"
"You can just call Zha'er!" Upon hearing Sun Wukong's question, Nezha glanced at Sun Wukong with a sowhat patronizing look before answering.
"What's going on here?" Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu's mouth twitched slightly.
This monkey was doing quite well. First, he had brought a girl over for a al, and now he had brought a friend. In Jiang Liu's heart, there truly was a sense of déjà vu, as if watching his own child bring ho a girlfriend and friends for a al.
But Sun Wukong actually didn't know his friend's na? That seed a bit fishy.
With so suspicion in his mind, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on Nezha, and he silently murmured in his heart: Character UI.
ID: Zha'er (Alias) (Blue).
Gender: Male.
Profession: War God.
Level: 80.
Equipnt: Fire Tip Spear (Epic Level):...
Wind-Fire Wheels (Epic Level), Chaos Heaven Silk (Epic Level), Qiankun Ring (Epic Level)
...
Wow!
Looking at the other party's character UI, Jiang Liu felt it was sowhat dazzling. What was it that made him feel dazzled? It was the radiance of the wealthy!
A whole set of Epic Level equipnt on hand, a level 80 Blue UI; based on the level and color of the character UI, this person's overall strength was only a bit less than Sun Wukong's, maybe even just half a notch less?
Moreover, this so-called Zha'er's alias? Then looking at the equipnt information on the character UI, the Qiankun Ring, Chaos Heaven Silk, Wind-Fire Wheels—these Dharma Treasures.
With such distinctive Dharma Treasures, not even a fool would fail to recognize this person's identity, right?
"Who would've thought, Wukong and Nezha are such good friends? Just a trip to the heavens, and he's already bringing Nezha ho for a al?" Realizing the identity of the handso youth in front of him as Nezha, Jiang Liu was sowhat surprised internally.
Of course, since the other party was using an alias and had no intention of revealing his identity, Jiang Liu naturally wouldn't disclose it either.
"Alright, the dishes are ready, everyone, please sit down and eat together!" With the cooking almost finished, soon, a big pot of preserved egg and lean pork congee, along with a few dishes of at and vegetables, were all prepared, and Jiang Liu called everyone to the table.
The Yellow Wind Monster hadn't left—so long as Jiang Liu didn't send him away, he would contentedly mooch als here.
Although Zixia had left, Nezha had co in her place, so the number of guests at the table had not decreased, and it remained lively.
During the al, a group of people sat together almost scrambling for the food, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Coupled with the food's own deliciousness, this al turned out to be very satisfying for Nezha.
"It feels like I haven't eaten enough! Tianpeng ate enough for at least a dozen people by himself!" Patting his stomach, Nezha looked at Zhu Bajie with a helpless expression, feeling a bit aggrieved.
But actually, when he thought about it, hadn't he himself eaten two big bowls in the fray?
That was more than he usually ate at any ti, so why did he feel like he had not eaten enough?
Thinking about how, in the heavens, almost all the ti he would be facing a table full of food alone, eating felt quite joyless.
Indeed, eating here, both the flavor and the atmosphere were so much better than when he ate alone.
"Holy Monk, thank you for your hospitality. No labor should go unrewarded, and today, having eaten a al personally cooked by the Holy Monk, Zha'er has nothing to offer in return, so let give you a little sothing, hoping the Holy Monk will like it!"
Although he didn't feel full, today's al was indeed very satisfying for Nezha, and even left him wanting more. Imdiately after, Nezha said to Jiang Liu.
As he spoke, Nezha's hand made a gesture, and a delicately crafted small house appeared in his palm, and he handed it to Jiang Liu.
"Is this a craft?" Looking at the small house in Nezha's hand, Jiang Liu was inwardly puzzled.
He reached out and took the small house.
Bowing his head to look at it, as Jiang Liu's gaze settled, the corresponding attribute information appeared before his eyes…
