Chapter 20 I am Sun Wukong...
After a long silence, Xiao Yangjiao leaned against the boulder.
With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth and one foot planted on a rock, he looked exactly like a hooligan.
"If you calculate the time, you won't be born for several hundred years. I don't know if I'll even live to see that day."
"I might not even exist in this world by then. You must remember to ask Yang Jian and Yang Chan to help me out if you happen to meet them."
For over a year since her transmigration, Xiao Yangjiao has had no one to tell her these words.
After Yuanshi Tianzun stopped her from saying certain things, Yang Jiao also realized the principle that future events should not be spoken of, and she forcibly kept them to herself.
At this moment, this rock became the place where she poured out her grievances.
"When will I find a master who will teach me my skills...?"
At this moment, she was preoccupied with worries and didn't think to use her Heavenly Eye to look at the little monkey inside. Otherwise, she would have been able to see the Monkey King she had been longing for staring at her with wide eyes.
As a stone embryo, it grows by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and only its eyes can move.
He stared longingly at the troubled little girl, thinking to himself:
"What skill does my sister want to learn?"
On the summit of Flower and Fruit Mountain, countless years have passed, and he stands there quietly, as if isolated from the world.
He had grown accustomed to loneliness over the long years, but suddenly a charming and lovely young lady appeared in front of him and took the initiative to talk to him and tell him stories.
All of this filled the little monkey with an indescribable joy.
"I really want to be born soon."
The little monkey thought to himself, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, because if he could break through the rock as soon as possible, he would be able to talk to the older sister.
【Ding. 】
[A five-star mythical figure's consciousness has been detected. The host can now use merit points to accelerate their growth.]
[One card-drawing token is awarded for every 100 years of merit.]
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yangjiao, who was lying on the ground, instantly perked up and did a somersault to her feet.
She was overjoyed!
As long as we use merit to support the growth of the Great Sage, she will not be unable to see the day when the Great Sage is mighty in her lifetime.
This feeling of raising your own idol...
Ahhhhh!
From this day forward, she will be a devoted fan of the Monkey King!
In an instant, when Xiao Yangjiao looked at that boulder again, her eyes no longer revealed admiration, but rather a bright and clear expression of love.
The joy of nurturing a character is something only those who have experienced it can understand. Right now, Xiao Yangjiao wishes she could go and pluck another handful of Yuanshi Tianzun to use as nourishment for the Great Sage.
It has been more than half a year now, and I have received a hundred years of merit from Yao Ji and a thousand years of merit from Yuanshi Tianzun on my first birthday, but I have not used them yet.
Without a second thought, Xiao Yangjiao fumbled around and used magic to draw out the merit within her body.
"what?"
She clearly mentioned it, so why can't I see it?
The little girl stood on the empty mountaintop, looking around at the vast emptiness, and circled around several times but couldn't find any merit.
"Huh?! Where did my merit go?! Where did all my great merit go?"
Little Yang Jiao was almost in tears.
If she hadn't genuinely felt the absence of merit within her body, she would have thought she had used her magic incorrectly and failed to activate it.
But now, it's neither inside the body nor outside.
"Who stole my merits!"
Apart from the rustling wind, the only sound here was her breathing.
With her chubby hands, she lifted every weed on the ground, lay on the ground, facing the yellow earth with her back to the sky, and paced anxiously in circles.
He gnawed on a mouthful of grass, seething with resentment.
After spitting it out, he shouted:
"Heavenly Eye!"
After a sound, a pale silver light enveloped her. Only then did Xiao Yangjiao realize that she had not lost her merit.
It is... so small that it cannot be seen.
The merit accumulated over a thousand and one hundred years, like a golden bean smaller than a pea, has always followed me to the back of my head...
The moment she breathed a sigh of relief, she recalled her first meeting with the Primordial Celestial Venerable. His great merits were so dazzling that she couldn't even open her eyes, and the seventy-two-colored auspicious clouds enveloped the entire Yang Mansion.
"The amount of merit required is so great that the Earth would have to be saved several times over to have such a large halo, right?"
Without comparison, it would be fine, but the thought of having only a tiny golden bean while the Celestial Venerable had a huge circle made Xiao Yangjiao so envious that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.
In the future, besides collecting tokens, she will have another hobby.
Accumulate merit!
Yang Jiao held the tiny golden bean in her hand and then gently pushed it towards the boulder.
Suddenly, the stone caved inward for a moment, and the merit was absorbed into it the next second.
She also looked inside.
The small stone monkey that was originally drawn with a sculpting brush is now visibly growing a few hairs!
……
"You damn system, you lied to me again!"
Given that 1,100 years of merit can only grow a few hairs, expecting the Great Sage to be born ahead of time is simply a pipe dream!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for contributing merit. You are now rewarded with eleven Mythic Card Draw Tokens.]
Even the 'ding' sound she loved so much couldn't pull Yang Jiao out of her grief.
Good heavens, this system has never been reliable even once!
Master, can I return this and exchange it for a more advanced and intelligent one?
As Xiao Yangjiao stood on the ground, looking up at the sky and letting out a long howl, the cry was abruptly cut off before it could even escape her throat.
She bit her tongue hard and looked at the little monkey in the middle of the boulder in disbelief.
Inside, the Monkey King was blinking his big eyes, looking at him curiously.
"Great Sage!!"
Little Yang Jiao excitedly jumped around the stone, her waving arms and legs making her look more like a monkey than Sun Wukong in the stone egg.
"Wuhu~"
She frolicked and jumped around wildly.
She's practically at the point of reverting to her ancestral ways if she punches herself in the chest a few times.
Overwhelmed with joy, Xiao Yangjiao leaned closer to the stone and peered inside, her eyes brimming with tears.
She blinked, and the Great Sage inside blinked back.
then……
"Wuhu~"
She ran off excitedly again.
Reaching the highest point of Flower Fruit Mountain, Xiao Yangjiao swiftly climbed a large tree using both hands and feet, stood atop the treetop, and shouted to the sky:
"The Monkey King really is a golden monkey!"
Its light golden fur seemed to be coated with a layer of light, and its big eyes occupied a third of its small head. A blink of its eyes could steal Yang Jiao's heart.
Such an adorable monkey, causing a ruckus in Heaven, what's wrong with that!
After being exposed to the wind on the mountaintop for a while, Xiao Yangjiao calmed down. After climbing down from the tree, she walked calmly and steadily to the boulder.
With just one glance, she uttered another:
"Wuhu~"
Having already witnessed many grand occasions, Yang Jiao felt that she had grown up.
This time she didn't run away. Instead, she leaped onto the boulder and landed flat on her body.
"My god~"
A long sigh.
The little stone monkey, standing in the middle of the rocks, was momentarily stunned. It moved its mouth as if trying to imitate her tone of voice, but it couldn't open its mouth at all.
After a long while, she could only utter a single word in a soft, hesitant voice.
"I...I..."
Upon hearing this word, Xiao Yangjiao got so excited that she got goosebumps all over her body.
With anticipation in her eyes, she looked at the little monkey with encouraging eyes.
"Speak up, keep going, what did I say?"
Say that classic line out!
"I..."
The little monkey couldn't speak and was extremely anxious, but the stone egg offered him no space to move; everything was hard and he couldn't break free or move.
Just blinking and uttering a single word exhausted him.
The little stone monkey sadly lowered his eyes, secretly feeling that he was really too stupid. He couldn't even say a word to the young lady. Would the young lady stop coming to see him again if she saw that he couldn't speak?
He really was waiting for the girl to talk to him.
"I..."
He spoke again urgently, but only one word came out.
Xiao Yangjiao suddenly remembered.
Wait a minute, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven doesn't have a name yet, so he can't say, "I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong."
Looking at that anxious little face, Yang Jiao smiled slightly.
He offered apologetic words of comfort:
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore, you're still young."
"By the way, let me give you a name."
Xiao Yangjiao lay prone on the rock and said, word by word:
"Sun Wukong".
The little stone monkey stared at her lips and secretly memorized them.
Sun Wukong.
He has a name now.
His eyes welled up with joy, and his small figure was incredibly adorable.
The little stone monkey really wanted to ask the young lady her name, but his clumsy mouth just couldn't learn to speak; all he could say was "I".
He lowered his eyes dejectedly.
Bang, bang, bang.
The three distinctive sounds of stone being struck pulled him out of his reverie, and he abruptly looked up at the young woman.
Xiao Yangjiao then flashed a big smile and excitedly blew away the dust from the stone before speaking.
"I should go find Peach and go home now. I promise I'll come see you earlier next time, okay?"
The little monkey doesn't like hearing the word 'go home,' and it hasn't appeared for a long time since the girl last said it.
He wants to talk, he wants to learn a few more words, so will the young lady be happy to stay and spend more time with him?
But the more anxious she was, the less she could open her mouth.
"Oh, right."
Xiao Yangjiao, who had jumped off the rock, had already walked a few steps when she suddenly turned back.
"I'm so happy today, so incredibly happy."
After saying that, she didn't look back and ran towards the depths of Flower Fruit Mountain.
When she last came here, she remembered that there was a wide and clear river between the two mountains, and peach trees grew on both sides.
Unbeknownst to Yang Jiao after she left, the little monkey stared at her retreating figure for a long time, its mouth opening and closing repeatedly.
"I am Sun Wukong..."
