Xu Milu glanced at Chen Xiang, who was happily munching on a sesame seed cake, then suddenly remembered something. She turned around and picked up a basket of spirited ping-pong grapes, placing it in front of him.
Ping-pong grapes, picked from the earth, are round and plump, as purple as amethyst crystals, and covered with a layer of white bloom. You can feel their sweetness even without tasting them.
Chen Xiang glanced at the juicy Ping Pong grapes, politely asked if he could eat them, and after receiving Xu Milu's answer, he stuffed the grapes into his mouth—but this time he was full after eating seven or eight grapes.
A layer of doubt appeared in his clear black and white eyes, as if he didn't understand why he was full after eating just a few grapes. So he looked up at Xu Milu.
“You were born half a celestial being, and you are only eighteen days old. You don’t know how to cultivate and breathe, so your spiritual energy is depleted. That’s why you get hungry so quickly. I will prepare some spiritual food for you these next two days so that your spiritual energy can keep up with your growth rate.”
Xu Milu explained patiently.
Although she knew that the celestial fetus was different from ordinary people and could grow up in an instant, she still couldn't help but treat it like a child.
A baby only eighteen days old!
If this happened in China, Liu Yanchang would definitely be charged with abandonment.
Just as he was thinking, the monkey hair on Chenxiang's wrist moved without warning. The golden hair, like flowing golden light, drew a large peach pattern in the air. The next second, the hair "banged" and transformed into a tiny Sun Wukong who was only three inches and three inches long.
"Little Phoenix! Little Phoenix! Hey? Here, here! I'm here!"
The little monkey was almost a scaled-down version of Sun Wukong. He had a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, a sunken face and a pointed mouth, and a pair of golden eyes with fire. He wore a phoenix-winged crown on his yellow hair, a big red cloak hanging down his back, and golden armor shining brightly on his body. He stood on auspicious clouds and held a golden headband in his hand. He was truly a handsome monkey king!
Xu Milu quickly picked up the little Wukong and placed it on the table, unable to contain her curiosity, and asked:
"Why have we never seen Master dressed like this before? You look so energetic and dashing!"
Sun Wukong jumped up and lay down on top of the basket of grapes, his legs dangling. He took a couple of bites of a grape and then grinned and said:
"I'm going to have a showdown with that Yang family's second son on the overseas immortal mountain! Of course I have to dress smartly, lest people say, 'Even a broken boat has three pounds of nails.' How come I, Old Sun, have become so stingy since entering the Buddhist order? Chenxiang, have you ever seen your senior sister?"
Chenxiang nodded, looking incredibly obedient.
"When I met my senior sister, she fed me. I ate fifteen bowls of rice, two roast chickens, seventeen sesame flatbreads, four melons, and seven fruits. It tasted delicious."
Xu Milu covered her face.
Why does this feel so much like a kindergarten kid reporting to their parents what they ate for lunch?!
Mo Xuan, who has just come of age according to the dragon race's calculations, Xu Achou, who is still in his cub stage, a wisteria tree demon who hasn't even taken human form yet, plus Xu Milu, the little phoenix, and then there's little Chen Xiang. Now the Mountain and Sea Restaurant can be renamed the Mountain and Sea Kindergarten.
Sun Wukong clearly hadn't expected that this would be the first thing Chenxiang reported to him, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond, so he just scratched his face:
“Excellent, excellent! As the saying goes, if you're determined to run a restaurant, you don't have to worry about big eaters! Just stay here with your senior sister; there's no more secluded place in the world than this.”
Chenxiang nodded in agreement, and seeing Sun Wukong waving at him, he went to the backyard, looking back every few steps.
"Master, is this a clone spell or some other supernatural power? The clone made from a monkey hair looks exactly like the real body! I want to learn it too. In the future, I can pluck a hair and turn it into a little person. Just thinking about it is so interesting!"
Xu Milu was a little curious, so she tentatively poked Sun Wukong's three-inch golden cudgel with her index finger. The other party immediately grinned and then laughed and cursed:
"You wicked fellow! You dare to defy your superiors! Take good care of your junior brother, and let me, Old Sun, have a good talk with this unreasonable uncle of his, and then have Erlang Shen find some magical artifacts and treasures in his private treasury."
Xu Milu readily agreed:
"Master, rest assured, even without your instructions, I will certainly take good care of Chenxiang. But I wonder... should we be wary of people from the Heavenly Court?"
She glanced at the backyard, and fearing that the sight would remind Chenxiang of his painful memories, she deliberately lowered her voice:
“Chenxiang lost his mother, and now his father Liu Yanchang has gone to the San Shengmu Palace to cultivate. He is still a child and has to suffer the separation of his parents. What exactly happened? Master, can you tell me in detail? So that I can have some idea.”
Sun Wukong held a grape and swallowed it whole, looking utterly lazy.
"The Third Holy Mother secretly married a mortal. Originally, the Jade Emperor ordered heavenly soldiers and generals to capture her and bring her back to heaven for punishment, but Erlang Shen found his own sister first and imprisoned the Third Holy Mother under Mount Hua for punishment. Chenxiang was already half a celestial being, and he also drank the Third Holy Mother's milk, which is why he was born so big—"
Xu Milu understood a little. Erlang Shen's approach could be considered a roundabout way of achieving his goal. He punished the Third Holy Mother first, thus preventing the Heavenly Court from imposing further punishment.
"Erlang Shen has also suffered a great loss of energy because of his sister. Right now, the Heavenly Court is watching him, and the people from Yaochi are keeping an eye on him outside. Of all the places in the Nine Provinces and Eight Desolations, after thinking it over, I think only your place is the most peaceful."
As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Xu Milu had some guesses.
The Heavenly Court forbids relationships between immortals and mortals because it fears the emergence of a half-immortal being like Chenxiang, who not only possesses the great fortune of the human race but is also born with an immortal nature. The spiritual energy he uses is several times that of ordinary people. If this is not prohibited, the spiritual energy in the world will only become less and less.
Just as Xu Milu was about to speak, Sun Wukong, as if guessing what she was going to say, tapped her head lightly from a distance:
