Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 82: Exchange

"Die!"

With an angry roar, Sun Wukong pounced on Jiang Chen and began to grapple with him in close combat.

Mindful of the Heavenly Emperor’s command, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but hold back a little in his attack. When he was fighting with Sun Wukong, it seemed like they both had an equal chance of winning.

The two of them fought back and forth for a few Shi Chen. Neither could get the better of the other, and the battle gradually reached a stalemate.

At this time, the East Sea Dragon King seemed to see some clues and suddenly said, "My friends, immortal, both of you, please quell your anger for a moment and hear me out."

The East Sea Dragon King’s ordinary words fell into their ears, sounding as if a True Dragon was singing beside them.

For a moment, the sound of the dragon’s song was unceasing, causing the two of them to feel dizzy and instinctively ceased fighting.

With a single expression, the extraordinary cultivation level of the East Sea Dragon King was revealed.

Stepping back, Jiang Chen respectfully said, "If the Dragon King has a command, I dare not disobey."

Compared to Jiang Chen, Sun Wukong’s attitude towards the East Sea Dragon King was undoubtedly much more arrogant. He said rudely, "Old Dragon King, stop making noise. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t delay my business."

One didn’t know if Sun Wukong’s mind had been tampered with, making him lose his ability to think.

From the move that the East Sea Dragon King just made, any normal person could see his strength. But Sun Wukong didn’t. He acted like he didn’t see anything and carried on in his own way.

This behavior, unlike ordinary people, proved that either Sun Wukong was a fool, or there was something wrong with his mind.

But looking at Sun Wukong, he didn’t look like a fool. It was more likely that someone had tampered with his mind.

Thinking this way, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but inject a hint of pity into his gaze when he looked at Sun Wukong.

Being schemed against without realizing it, and even being smug about it.

Was this what it meant to be a pawn? How pitiful!

Sun Wukong, who had been paying attention to Jiang Chen all this time, felt the change in his gaze and suddenly bared his teeth at him: "Hiss~~What are you looking at? In a moment, your Grandpa Sun will gouge out your eyes."

Instantly, Jiang Chen’s face darkened, and all the emotions he had been brewing disappeared.

Indeed, those who are worthy of pity are also worthy of hate.

He even had the nerve to think Sun Wukong was pitiful, how ridiculous. Forget about how enviable his experiences were, just with that mouth of his, he deserved to get beaten up.

"Hmph! Beasts will always be beasts, uncivilized, ignorant of manners." With a cold snort, Jiang Chen warned.

"Remember, this is the last time. If you do it again, I won’t just break your teeth, I’ll smash your mouth."

Who knows what kind of method Sun Wukong used, but he had actually managed to restore his own teeth. If not, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have to put up with his nonsense here.

"You..." Hearing this, Sun Wukong subconsciously touched his mouth, then his face changed drastically, and he was about to take action again.

But at this moment, seeing that the two were about to fight again, the East Sea Dragon King hastily said, "Both of you, stop. Listen to me."

With that, he stepped forward and grabbed Sun Wukong.

As long as he grabbed Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong wouldn’t be able to fight with Jiang Chen. This point, the East Sea Dragon King still understood.

Being held back by the East Sea Dragon King, Sun Wukong seemed to realize that he was not Jiang Chen’s opponent and gradually calmed down, no longer stirring up trouble.

At this time, the East Sea Dragon King cleared his throat and finally spoke, "Both of you, it’s not good to continue fighting like this. Why not both of you take a step back, how about it?"

Hearing this, a puzzled look appeared on Jiang Chen’s face, and he asked in confusion, "How should we step back?"

On the side, Sun Wukong also looked at the East Sea Dragon King with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Stroking his beard, the East Sea Dragon King laughed, "It’s simple. Since the immortal likes the Sea Pacifying God Needle in your hands, why not exchange items?"

With that, he glanced at the Sea Pacifying God Pearl in the air, as if to hint something to Sun Wukong.

No monkey could be as shrewd as Wukong. How could he not understand what the East Sea Dragon King meant? He looked hesitant, as if he was struggling with a decision.

Was it worthwhile to exchange the Sea Pacifying God Pearl for the Sea Pacifying God Needle?

If Jiang Chen were to decide, it definitely wouldn’t be. The Sea Pacifying God Needle was nothing more than a stick used by Yu the Great to measure the depths of rivers and seas, while the Sea Pacifying God Pearl was used by Heavenly Dao to pacify the Four Seas.

The gap between them was evident at a glance.

But Sun Wukong was not Jiang Chen. He had the heart of a child and didn’t have as many twists and turns in his heart as Jiang Chen did.

In the world of adults, it’s all about profit.

But in Sun Wukong’s world, it depends on what he likes.

As long as he felt that he liked the Sea Pacifying God Needle more than the Sea Pacifying God Pearl, then this trade, in his view, was worth it.

Doing things purely based on liking, not tainted by a trace of self-interest, was a true manifestation of a child’s heart.

"Alright, do you want to swap, kid?" Without hesitating for too long, Sun Wukong had his answer.

Whether the Sea Pacifying God Pearl was more precious than the Sea Pacifying God Needle, Sun Wukong didn’t know and didn’t care. All he knew was that he liked the Sea Pacifying God Needle more than the Sea Pacifying God Pearl. That was enough. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Seeing the innocence in Sun Wukong’s eyes, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

A childlike heart is indeed a first-rate state of cultivation for a cultivator. Those with such a state of mind are more likely to observe the heart of heaven and improve their cultivation. But in Sun Wukong’s case, how long could he maintain his childlike heart?

When the innocence of the child’s heart is broken, Sun Wukong will be greatly damaged, and his cultivation will be regressed.

...

"Monkey, are you sure you want to swap?"

"You should know that your Sea Pacifying God Pearl is much more valuable than this Sea Pacifying God Needle."

"Is that still okay? Would you still like to swap?"

Although he was very tempted by the monkey’s proposal, Jiang Chen still wanted to clarify things to prevent trouble in the future.

It’s not that he didn’t want to take this advantage, but that this advantage was hard to take.

Sun Wukong’s background was huge. If Jiang Chen took advantage of him today, it’s not guaranteed that the Buddhist door wouldn’t take it back using other methods in the future.

Is the monk’s advantage easy to take?

It’s always been the case that the monk takes advantage of others, when has it ever been the case that others take advantage of the monk?

"Swap!" Even after knowing that the Sea Pacifying God Pearl was more valuable than the Sea Pacifying God Needle, Sun Wukong still did not change his decision. However, his eyes began to roll around subtly, as if he had something in mind.

Everything had been made clear, but Sun Wukong still insisted on swapping. Even if the Buddha himself came, he couldn’t find fault with him.

"Alright!" Seeing Sun Wukong’s straightforward answer, Jiang Chen simply said "Alright!" and then threw the Sea Pacifying God Needle in his hand to him. He didn’t worry about him taking the Sea Pacifying God Needle and running away.

Of course, Jiang Chen was not worried, because he had the means to suppress the Sea Pacifying God Pearl.

Whether Sun Wukong would run or not after obtaining the Sea Pacifying God Needle didn’t matter as long as he had the Sea Pacifying God Pearl.

After he handed over the Sea Pacifying God Needle, Jiang Chen didn’t care how Sun Wukong reacted. He directly used all his strength to activate the Sun Staff, suppressing the Sea Pacifying God Pearl floating in mid-air right then and there.
