"Can I give it to my girlfriend?" Krillin asked, surprised.
"Of course, as long as there's a girl you fancy and she's not to my taste, I can help you achieve that wish," Vegeta assured him.
"Let me try, Master Mutaito," Krillin said, rubbing his hands together, eager to get started.
Was opening a small bottle really that difficult?
"I want a legion of beauties," Master Roshi chuckled.
"As I said, I can grant any wish you desire, as long as you can open the small bottle," Vegeta nodded, not objecting.
Bulma, standing nearby, was speechless.
What a lecherous old man.
From Master Roshi to Vegeta, none of them were good.
"I'll go first!" Krillin took the small bottle, energy gathering in his hands.
However, fearing he might release a demon, Krillin cautiously asked, "What if the bottle breaks and the demon escapes?"
"With me here, you have nothing to worry about," Vegeta smiled.
"Alright, I'll try," Krillin increased his strength, attempting to twist the cap of the small bottle.
But no matter how hard Krillin tried, the cap of the small bottle remained motionless.
It wasn't just the cap that wouldn't budge; Krillin found it difficult even to break through the layer of divine power on the bottle itself.
Krillin struggled for a long time without success.
Master Roshi also made a strong attempt but achieved nothing.
"Let me try too... though I don't have any specific wishes," Goku laughed and tried to see if he could open the small bottle.
Goku was equally unable to do anything with the small bottle.
Tien and Yamcha also tried, naturally with no effect.
"This is why you all need to train harder. Don't limit yourselves to this small planet Earth. There are many powerful beings in our universe," Vegeta took the opportunity to lecture Goku and the others. "You can't even open a small bottle now. How can you contend with other powerful beings in the universe?"
Goku and the others lowered their heads, ashamed.
Goku and the others even lost the desire to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Yes, we can't even open this small bottle. It's too embarrassing.
Didn't you see Vegeta open it so easily?
"Alright, I won't discourage you any further. You should still participate in the tournament. Your path is still very, very long," Vegeta called out.
Goku and the others: "..."
You call this not discouraging us?
We're already incredibly discouraged.
Vegeta accompanied Bulma to watch the preliminaries.
The results of the preliminaries came out quickly, and the participating fighters were largely as Vegeta had predicted.
Except for Chiaotzu, the others successfully qualified for the tournament.
Chiaotzu was eliminated by Mercenary Tao.
The first match was between Tien and Mercenary Tao.
Tien easily won the match.
The second match was between Goku and a young beauty who refused to reveal her name.
This girl was none other than Chi-Chi.
"Why are you always so angry?" Goku asked Chi-Chi, puzzled.
"You should ask yourself!" Chi-Chi retorted furiously.
"Huh?" Goku looked confused. "I still don't understand. Did you mistake me for someone else?"
"You're Goku, aren't you?" Chi-Chi asked.
Goku scratched his head.
"Who is that girl?" Yamcha muttered.
"Goku, what have you been doing these past three years?" Krillin felt a pang in his heart.
I have a feeling this girl likes Goku.
If that's the case, then I'm the only single one left.
Krillin felt he should find a girlfriend as soon as possible.
"Vegeta, do you know this girl?" Bulma asked Vegeta.
"Yes, I do," Vegeta nodded.
"Oh? You know her? Don't tell me you also..." Bulma's face flushed with anger, and she glared at Vegeta.
Vegeta: "..."
"What are you thinking? There are so many beautiful women in this universe. If I wanted all of them... I'd have nothing else to do," Vegeta rolled his eyes and huffed.
"Universe? So many beauties?" Bulma pouted, unhappy.
"Bulma, you really know how to pick keywords," Vegeta said, somewhat speechless.
"Hmph, your focus is on the beautiful women in the universe!" Bulma glared at Vegeta, still angry.
"I am the supreme deity of this universe, so all the beautiful women in this universe are mine. It's only natural!" Vegeta declared grandly.
Bulma: "..."
"If you get jealous over such nonsensical things again, I'll really get myself a harem," Vegeta gave Bulma a warning.
"You, you, you... if you do that, I, I, I... I'll kill myself to show you!" Bulma's face turned pale.
Vegeta smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Sometimes girls need to be coaxed.
Other times, they need to be properly disciplined.
Otherwise, do you really think you can do whatever you want?
"So... who is this girl?" Bulma changed the subject.
"She'll tell you herself later," Vegeta shook his head.
"The second match officially begins!" the referee announced loudly.
Chi-Chi immediately launched a fierce attack on Goku.
Goku easily dodged all of Chi-Chi's punches and kicks.
"Have I met you before?" Goku asked, confused.
"Of course we've met!" Chi-Chi pursued, attacking Goku again.
Goku easily evaded her and moved further away, asking, "Really? When did we meet?"
"This is outrageous! You've forgotten everything, I'm about to die of anger!" Chi-Chi rushed forward and resumed their entangled combat. "You don't understand a girl's heart at all. I've been looking forward to this day!"
"What is it about?" Goku was perplexed.
"You forgot our promise!" Chi-Chi cried out.
"What promise?" Goku scratched his head.
"We promised! You would marry me!" Chi-Chi shouted.
Krillin and Yamcha were stunned.
Master Roshi also looked bewildered.
Bulma was surprised.
Oolong and Puar's eyes widened, and they perked up their ears.
Goku: "..."
Goku's expression was a little vacant.
"You finally remember," Chi-Chi huffed.
"Vegeta, tell me quickly what 'marry' means!" Goku immediately turned to ask Vegeta, who was in the stands.
Instantly, the audience in the venue stumbled and fell.
Chi-Chi also fell.
Vegeta remained silent.
"Idiot, 'marry' means getting married!" Krillin yelled from the other side. "You guy, when did you make a marriage promise with such a cute girl? You and Vegeta are so sly, only thinking about yourselves!"
