King of Creation Chapter 1944 - 1929: Brother Monkey Pulls Off a Shocking Feat
Previously on King of Creation...
Watching Zhu Hong walk over with a gloomy face, Ye Zhen’s heart was like seven or eight buckets of water moving up and down, tense and chaotic.
To be honest, even when facing Dao Realm experts, Ye Zhen wasn’t this nervous.
Under Ye Zhen’s tense gaze, a gloomy-faced Zhu Hong walked up to Ye Zhen and unhesitatingly landed a solid punch on him.
"I say, Brother Ye, why are you so bad at handling things?"
Feeling his Qi and blood boiling from the punch, Ye Zhen was bewildered, "Brother Zhu, what’s going on? Just tell me clearly."
Zhu Hong’s gaze fell on Ling Qianbi beside Ye Zhen, pausing for a few breaths, "Ah, Brother Ye, you’re a smart guy. Of course, Old Zhu understands. Men, who doesn’t have three or four wives, who doesn’t love flirting? I understand all that."
"But this time, you’re here to find Hu Qingtong and their child. Why did you bring your newly taken concubine? Are you deliberately trying to upset Hu Qingtong or showing off?
It’s only been a few years, and you already have a new person by your side.
Be honest with me, besides Luluo, Feng Qingyue, and that senior sister of yours, and this newly taken concubine in front of you, how many women have you actually taken in over these years?" Zhu Hong asked.
"Newly taken concubine?"
Ling Qianbi was stunned, and Ye Zhen was bewildered once again.
However, Ye Zhen quickly responded, and within an instant, he roughly figured out the cause and effect.
Ling Qianbi, herself, was blushing red with embarrassment, although if Ye Zhen indeed wanted to take her, she wouldn’t have much room to resist. The longer she spent by Ye Zhen’s side, the more she admired Ye Zhen and served him with more intention.
The so-called love of a beauty for a hero, that’s the reasoning.
But so far, honestly speaking, there was really nothing between Ling Qianbi and Ye Zhen.
Having figured it out, Ye Zhen truly had a feeling like bumping into a tree upon stepping out the door.
Damn it, turns out the root of the issue was on Ling Qianbi.
So, in the end, it was Hu Qingtong who misunderstood the relationship between Ye Zhen and Ling Qianbi?
In an instant, Ye Zhen remembered the moment when they just entered the room and Ling Qianbi rushed to serve him tea.
Ye Zhen was used to being served by Ling Qianbi in his usual days, and at that time, he was only busy playing with Chi Ling’er, so he didn’t pay it any mind.
But now thinking back, in that situation, Hu Qingtong probably felt uncomfortable.
Hu Qingtong might have not only misunderstood Ling Qianbi’s identity but also thought that even before she returned to Ye Zhen’s side, the people around Ye Zhen had already started competing with each other.
Given Hu Qingtong’s proud and self-respecting nature, driving Ye Zhen and the others out wasn’t surprising.
Having figured things out, the previously worried Ye Zhen let a smile appear on his face.
Zhu Hong was taken aback, "Brother Ye, that’s not right. I’m asking you a question, and you’re still smiling?"
Zhu Hong was a bit annoyed, too. Their relationship with Hu Qingtong was somewhat like buddies, so when he asked her directly, Hu Qingtong couldn’t make up excuses and mentioned it roughly, saying Ye Zhen brought a woman over.
She herself had her hands and feet and didn’t need others to support her, much less willing to compete with others and let Chi Ling’er be distressed.
"No, I wasn’t laughing!" Ye Zhen hurriedly explained.
"You think I’m blind?" Zhu Hong’s eyes instantly widened.
"It’s not... sigh..."
Actually, Ye Zhen was indeed smiling because, upon knowing the truth, he felt relieved, and Ye Zhen thought that Hu Qingtong getting jealous was partly because of her proud nature, and partly, she still had feelings for Ye Zhen.
Otherwise, why get jealous at all?
"Brother Zhu, it’s a misunderstanding, ah, this is truly a huge misunderstanding!" Ye Zhen hurried to explain, "The relationship between Qianbi and me is not what you guys think. She is my disciple, and we have a master-disciple relationship."
Zhu Hong was stunned for a moment, then coldly sneered, "Brother Ye, these few years without seeing you, you’ve grown in wisdom, huh, treating your Brother Zhu as a fool?"
"She is your disciple? You, a guy at Ninth Stage of Dark Palace Realm, taking in a Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm martial artist as a disciple? Even if I’m dumb, I’d believe, but Qingtong isn’t dumb."
"Not... sigh..."
"Qianbi, come, you come and explain this, clear the whole matter up for Brother Zhu," said the somewhat anxious Ye Zhen.
Ling Qianbi stepped forward and narrated how she regained the memories of her past life and recognized Ye Zhen as her master from the previous life.
This matter sounded quite mysterious, but having experienced the Illusory Realm, Ling Qianbi narrated it seriously, which left Zhu Hong a bit dumbfounded.
"So this is real?" After hearing that, Zhu Hong was bewildered, not expecting the situation to be so complicated.
"If that’s the case, it’s truly a misunderstanding. You wait here." Zhu Hong hesitated for a moment, then turned back and walked toward Hu Qingtong’s small courtyard.
Inside the small courtyard, Hu Qingtong already had a face flushed red with embarrassment.
Although she is proud and aloof, it’s impossible for her to have no thoughts on the matter.
Thus, she listened in secretly while Zhu Hong and Ye Zhen were arguing and Ling Qianbi was speaking.
Upon hearing, she was so ashamed she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
She thought that she hadn’t returned to Ye Zhen’s side yet, and Ling Qianbi had already started a jealous spat with him. Unexpectedly, it was her own sea of jealousy making waves.
Now that’s awkward.
As Zhu Hong went in and explained things to Hu Qingtong thoroughly, Hu Qingtong barely listened.
Instead, she pondered a question, what on earth should she do about this matter?
Reuniting after so many years, only to create an awkward mess made her feel a bit embarrassed to face Ye Zhen.
Especially if Ye Zhen were to come in again, how should she face Ye Zhen’s disciple Ling Qianbi?
Don’t be fooled by Zhu Hong’s surname being Zhu and him being a Pig Demon, acting all carefree. In reality, Zhu Hong is quite meticulous, not to the point of being extremely detailed, but in terms of handling matters, Ye Zhen finds Zhu Hong more dependable and attentive than the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.
Zhu Hong noticed Hu Qingtong’s current predicament, thought slightly, and then said, "Hey, Qingtong, I and Brother Ye haven’t seen each other for many years.
Let’s borrow your esteemed place for a while, you prepare some snacks, and I’ll drink a few cups with Brother Ye."
Hu Qingtong lowered her head, replying in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
"Brother Ye, did you bring good wine?" Zhu Hong shouted.
"I did! I brought good wine!"
"Aren’t you planning to drink a few jars with your Brother Zhu? You wouldn’t be stingy to that extent, right?"
"Of course not, I’m just afraid Brother Zhu, you can’t handle it!"
"Nonsense, if you’ve got the guts, hurry up and come in for a few jars, let’s see who gets drunk first. Remember, no using spiritual power!"
"Alright!"
Ye Zhen heard this and rejoiced, then entered Hu Qingtong’s courtyard again with Ling Qianbi, Hur Chimei, and the kitten.
Just as they entered, Chi Ling’er jumped into Ye Zhen’s arms, "Uncle Ye is here, someone to play with me again!"
However, Hu Qingtong didn’t show herself, she went straight to the kitchen to prepare drinks and dishes.
"Master, I’ll go help in the kitchen," Ling Qianbi said.
"Go ahead," Ye Zhen nodded.
In the courtyard kitchen, Ling Qianbi came over to help, calling ’Senior Sister,’ turning Hu Qingtong’s face red.
"Mistress, it’s not your fault for misunderstanding; primarily, these years, I’ve been taking care of Master’s daily needs. It’s normal to feel strange at first glance."
With Ling Qianbi’s guidance, Hu Qingtong didn’t feel as awkward as before.
Inside the house, Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong let loose and drank big bowls of fine wine.
Ye Zhen was happy, happy that Qingtong had accepted him.
And Zhu Hong, this guy, purely wanted to indulge in a drinking spree with Ye Zhen here.
Having enjoyed several jars, the two started chatting, and Ye Zhen finally remembered his real purpose for coming this time and casually asked about the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba’s situation.
This was to inform Sunx Ba about the message from the ancestor of Devil God Palace, and he wanted to know Sunx Ba’s current situation from the Guardian Demon Commander guarding the Black Tiger Prison.
As soon as Ye Zhen mentioned Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong smacked his forehead, "Look at me, I’m excited to see you and distracted by the matter between you and Qingtong, I completely forgot about Brother Monkey!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen looked puzzled.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Hong’s expression became serious. He first stood up and extended his divine sense to observe the situation at Xuanjia Hill.
Then, with great caution, he cast three jade talismans: the Silent Barrier Talisman, Breath Concealment Barrier Talisman, and Guardian Jade Talisman.
At the moment the faint and blurry green light from the three jade talismans enveloped the entire courtyard, Zhu Hong came to the middle of the room, invoked his divine sense, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.
A giant pig head phantom flashed, and the figure of Sunx Ba, wearing dark crimson armor and towering over three meters, flew out from Zhu Hong’s mouth and landed on the ground.
Ye Zhen glanced at Zhu Hong with immense surprise, "You brought Brother Monkey inside your belly."
But the next moment, seeing the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba covered in scars and with a faint aura, Ye Zhen exclaimed, "What happened, why is Brother Monkey so severely injured?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong sighed deeply, "You don’t know, Brother Monkey has done something incredible this time! Even I have to give him a thumbs up!"
