This phrasing is too subtle.
Those who understood knew that Wu Zhiqi was dreaming, having an assignation with his dream lover.
Those who didn't might have thought this foolish boy was a pervert!
Sun Kong's mind exploded instantly.
He never imagined that he used to shock others, but after taking in his second and third brothers, it was they who would shock him unpredictably.
It was as if the cycle of heaven was at play.
It was even more like some form of retribution!
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Who is Cui Lan Sister? Who spared... Wait, I dared to barge into the chaotic void for you, enduring countless hardships."
"And you're having erotic dreams, fantasizing about some Cui Lan Sister... Hold on, tell me honestly, is your sister-in-law named Gao Cuilan?"
"Is her hometown in Gao Laozhuang?"
"Is her father the village chief of Gao Laozhuang, Elder Gao?"
Because he recalled the original plot of "Journey to the West," Sun Kong's questions blurted out, and he simultaneously slapped his second brother, Wu Zhiqi, awake from his sleep. Wu Zhiqi, who should have been half-dead but was actually quite comfortable.
At the same time, he conjured half of the Huai River, trillions of tons of water, and threatened him.
Either confess honestly.
Or be sealed away again!
Seeing his elder brother's fury, Wu Zhiqi dared not trifle with Sun Kong.
He quickly confessed!
"Brother Sun, please don't."
Just as he began, he was interrupted by a furious Sun Kong, who stared at him fiercely.
"Don't pull my leg, tell the truth. I don't want to hear any apologies, I just want to know, is your wife Gao Cuilan?"
Seeing that Sun Kong was not joking and might actually beat him to death, then find a way to revive him, and beat him to death again.
If this continued, it would be agonizing.
Wu Zhiqi, who already revered Sun Kong, immediately replied respectfully.
And so, the nonsensical conversation that followed ensued!
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth right away, but I really don't have a wife, nor do I have a Gao Cuilan."
"You dare to lie to me again?"
"I'm really not lying, Brother Sun. I just accidentally spoke in my sleep."
"Just dream talk?"
"Of course, besides dream talk, there's a bit more... Actually, after I had my accident, someone sent me beautiful women every day, but I didn't fall for them."
"Are you sure you didn't fall for them? Or rather, besides falling for them, did you also speak to them, touch them, and have other more wicked thoughts?"
"Brother Sun truly has a keen eye. Your second brother, I did speak and touch, but it's really not what you think."
"Then what exactly? I'll give you an hour. If you can't finish explaining by then, you know my methods as Brother Sun."
Seeing that his second brother, Wu Zhiqi, had changed considerably in just a short period since they last met.
Although he still respected him.
Although he still revered him.
However, beyond respect and reverence, this fellow's eyes darted away, clearly hiding some secret. He would rather suffer than speak.
Sun Kong became even more enraged, but he raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang and struck the river water, splitting it in the middle, revealing a chasm thousands of feet deep.
The Huai River, which once flowed through an area of hundreds of millions of square li, had since split into two, north and south.
Such a feat.
It was terrifying.
To strike a Huai River millions of li long.
What about striking a person?
Hiss.
Unimaginable.
Even a Quasi-Saint mighty figure would likely be stripped of a layer of skin, let alone Wu Zhiqi, who was far inferior to a Quasi-Saint?
In an instant.
Wu Zhiqi, who had intended to conceal a small part, quickly confessed everything!
"Brother Sun, your second brother Wu Zhiqi has erred. I will immediately tell you everything you wish to know."
"However, I must tell you repeatedly, that girl's name is Cui Lan, that is true, but she is not surnamed Gao, nor is she from Gao Laozhuang or anywhere like that."
"There is also no father like Elder Gao."
"In fact, she is not my wife, nor even a confidante. It's purely my unrequited love. But don't trouble her. I will tell you from the beginning..."
Wu Zhiqi, who had strongly denied it just a moment ago, now spoke of his secret crush, Sister Cui Lan, with a face full of bashfulness that was quite sickening.
But Sun Kong had to admit that Wu Zhiqi, whom he considered a potential substitute for the second disciple in the future Journey to the West, truly had the potential in this regard.
More than half an hour later.
Wu Zhiqi finished recounting the entire experience.
Sun Kong himself was greatly astonished by the series of unbelievable events.
He had thought that the New Six-Eared Macaque captured Wu Zhiqi either to threaten him into submission or to turn him into one of their own.
But in the end, neither of these things happened.
The former could be explained by the New Six-Eared Macaque's apprehension of Sun Kong's strength, and the fact that even the Saints praised him, making them even more afraid to deal with him.
Or, Wu Zhiqi provided a reason that Sun Kong could not help but trust!
It turned out that a few months ago, he was ambushed by the New Six-Eared Macaque near the Chan River, captured, and brought here to be tortured, interrogated, and tamed every day.
But none of it made Wu Zhiqi surrender.
Nor did it make him betray Sun Kong.
In the end.
The New Six-Eared Macaque, in despair, could only choose to suppress and seal Wu Zhiqi in a secret space deep within the Huai River, using the terrain and celestial conditions to seal him until the Journey to the West.
During this time.
The New Six-Eared Macaque, either personally or by sending some demon kings, never gave up trying to persuade him.
Helpless.
Wu Zhiqi, with only Sun Kong in his heart, simply refused.
No matter how he was tortured, how much he was injured, wishing he could die but unable to, he gritted his teeth and endured with an unyielding spirit.
Until one day, a beautiful girl named Cui Lan came to the Huai River to fish. By accidentally releasing a fish, she broke the seal.
Wu Zhiqi himself could not escape.
However, he could manifest a sliver of his essence, less than one in a trillion, and appear by the river. The moment they met, he was captivated by Cui Lan.
From then on, he became someone who secretly loved her.
But unfortunately, Cui Lan already had a fiancé, and it sounded like he wasn't an ordinary mortal, but a reincarnated immortal.
A true rich and handsome man!
"So, you backed down just because of an immortal?"
After hearing this, Sun Kong looked at the somewhat pathetic Wu Zhiqi with disdain, snorted coldly, thinking that he could make gods cry anytime.
Why be so timid and afraid?
But seeing Wu Zhiqi nod, and saying that the person was an important immortal.
His cultivation, strength, and status were no less than Sun Kong's.
Sun Kong was even more enraged, wanting to slap him.
Finally.
He continued to ask, driven by curiosity and concern.
"Second brother, second brother, you are also an immortal, a Great Unity Golden Immortal at the peak, how could you be so sure you couldn't handle that immortal?"
"Could it be that person is from the Heavenly Court, and is a Primordial Golden Immortal?"
Hearing Sun Kong's consistent care, Wu Zhiqi was even more moved. While taking his pills, he finally revealed the crucial truth.
"Brother Sun, I've disgraced you."
"Wuwuwu, that person was like me before, not very powerful, far inferior to you, but I was tormented by that New Six-Eared Macaque."
"Let alone Primordial Golden Immortal or Great Unity Golden Immortal, even Heavenly Immortal, I..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his dantian, asking Chen Fei to look!
