"Where did this monster come from? How dare you barge into the Southern Heavenly Gate!"
Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals were guarding it. Suddenly, he saw a ray of golden light shooting toward him. With a loud shout, he raised his saber and axe to block it.
"I'm not a monster!"
Sun Wukong stopped and quickly explained.
"I'm a stone monkey from the lower realm's Flowerfruit Mountain. I had an urgent matter to attend to, so I crashed into it.”
"Lower realm stone monkeys?"
The heavenly soldiers and generals who were guarding the gate sized up Sun Wukong. They did not see any demonic aura on his body. Only then did their expressions ease slightly and they asked.
"Even if you, a creature from the lower realm, have some divine powers, how dare you barge into the Southern Heavenly Gate!”
"I didn't barge in. I came to ask for a rain decree.”
"The decree of rain?"
"Yes, yes!"
Sun Wukong nodded and explained.
"I don't know why, but it hasn't rained on my Flowerfruit Mountain for three months. This time, the heavens are asking for a rain decree.”
"No rain in March?"
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals looked at Sun Wukong and sneered.
The Southern Heavenly Gate was the gateway from the mortal world to the celestial heavens. They guarded it all year round, so they could hear and see a lot.
According to common sense, there was a limit to the wind and rain in the mortal world. If there was no rain for three months, it was obvious that they had offended a great god in the sky, which was why the heavens had punished them.
"Leave quickly!"
At the thought of this, the expressions of the heavenly soldiers instantly changed. They held their sabers and axes and shouted at Sun Wukong to chase him away.
They were just ordinary soldiers. If they let Sun Wukong in, wouldn't they offend that great god?
However, they had never expected that the great god was the Jade Emperor.
"Please make an exception! Please make an exception!"
If he couldn't get the decree, how could it rain? Sun Wukong was anxious and was still praying.
"If you don't leave now! Don't blame us for being merciless!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals did not care about this. Their faces darkened and their voices turned cold.
Seeing that he couldn't make sense of it, Sun Wukong frowned and couldn't help but feel conflicted.
When he left Mount Innerheart, his master had repeatedly reminded him to guard the door and live a good life, not to cause trouble.
However, if he left without the rain, what would happen to the 40,000 monkeys on the Flowerfruit Mountain?
Creak ~!
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong clenched his fists tightly.
As the saying went, he had to obey his master's instructions for the lives of the monkeys and grandchildren of the Flowerfruit Mountain!
"Isn't this the king of Flowerfruit Mountain?”
At this moment, there was a soft cry and an old man walked out from the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Greetings, Celestial Sovereign."
Upon seeing this old man, the arrogant and despotic heavenly soldiers instantly turned amiable and bowed.
The old man ignored him and walked out of the Southern Heavenly Gate to Sun Wukong.
"Your Majesty, why did you ascend to the heavens? What's the matter?”
"You are…that old immortal!"
Sun Wukong suddenly remembered.
Not long after he returned to Flowerfruit Mountain, this old man came to Flowerfruit Mountain and said that he was an immortal from heaven who invited him to be an official in heaven.
However, Sun Wukong remembered Gu Ming's advice and refused on the spot.
Sun Wukong remembered that this old immortal's name seemed to be Taibai Jinxing.
"It's great that I don't want to see the old immortal here.”
After regaining his senses, Sun Wukong was excited again. This could be considered an acquaintance, so he quickly said.
" I don't know why, but there isn't a drop of rain in Flowerfruit Mountain in March. I went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to pray for rain, but the Dragon King of the East Ocean told me that I have to first get the Heavenly Court's decree for rain, so I came. However, he was stopped outside the door. Now that he saw the old immortal, he hoped that the old immortal would be merciful and help pass on the message.”
"I see."
Taibai Jinxing nodded and smiled.
"The storms of the mortal world are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. Your Flowerfruit Mountain is right beside the East Sea, so it should be the responsibility of the Dragon King of the East Sea.”
"There's no need for an edict…"
Sun Wukong was stunned and said anxiously.
"But the Dragon King of the East Sea clearly said…"
"Your Majesty, think about it."
Taibai Jinxing waved his hand and interrupted Sun Wukong.
"The mortal world is so big, and there are countless places that need rain every day. If we want the decree of the Heavenly Court, how can we make it in time?”
"This…"
"Therefore, if you want rain, you still have to find the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.”
"I understand. Thank you for telling me, old immortal.”
Sun Wukong's face was gloomy. He cupped his hands at Taibai Jinxing and thanked him before turning around and leaving.
"What kind of flying technique is this…?"
Taibai Jinxing couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Sun Wukong flying in the air at a speed that was so fast that it left people speechless.
However, he did not think too much about it. He smiled and turned around to enter the Southern Heavenly Gate.
"Eh?"
Seeing that Taibai Jinxing had returned, the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the door could not help but be stunned. Wasn't Taibai Jinxing going out to do something just now? Why did he return?
They didn't know that Taibai Jinxing's mission had already been completed.
"Your Majesty."
Taibai Jinxing reported to the Jade Emperor when he arrived at the Soaring Heaven King Palace.
"That Sun Wukong has already returned to the lower realm. Looking at his appearance, I think he's going to make a scene.”
"Alright."
The Jade Emperor responded indifferently with an expressionless face.
It was unknown if this word 'good' meant that he already knew about this matter or that this matter was handled well.
