Chapter Eleven: The Marriage is Set, Sun Yuan has no intention, Liu Er leaves the mountain

  "Don't just watch! I think we've all had enough to drink, let's call it a day for today's banquet! How about we bear witness to this couple's wedding next?" Sun Yuan suggested with a wave of his hand.

  "What a great idea! How come I didn't think of that?" Sun Wukong slapped the table and jumped up excitedly, thinking about the commotion at that time. This mischievous monkey who loved excitement couldn't sit still.

  Before long, the monkeys of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits received the news that the Grand King was going to hold a wedding ceremony for a pair of monkeys. Instantly, they all became busy, some looking for fresh flowers, others picking fruits, and the whole mountain was filled with joyful atmosphere.

  But some people are happy and others worry! There's no perfect situation in the world. Let's not talk about the marriage between Red Monkey and White Monkey, but just say that one of the descendants of Tongbei Ape is also in love with White Monkey. Hearing this news at this moment is like being struck by five thunderbolts.

  Before that, he knew the attitude of Tongbei Monkey King and was anxious for himself, but he also let out a sigh of relief. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would eventually gain the recognition of Tongbei Monkey King and marry the lovely White Monkey. However, who would have thought that after Erda Wang's descent from the mountain, Tongbei Monkey King changed his mind.

  At this time, all the monkeys on the mountain were celebrating the wedding, but only this monkey was carrying a jar of monkey wine and walked to the edge of the stream, drinking alone. However, the wine that usually tasted so delicious now seemed to have lost its flavor. Listening to the continuous laughter coming from the other side of the mountain, this monkey's heart felt even more bitter.

  Suddenly, a bird flew over the mountain stream and disappeared into the distant sky after a while. The injured monkey suddenly had an idea, "Since it's so sad here, why not leave Mount Huaguo and take a look at the world outside?"

  Under the faint sunlight, only this monkey's large ears had some patterns emitting purple light. Upon closer inspection, each ear had three curved lines, dividing each ear into three parts. If Sun Yuan were here, connecting it to the description of his past life, he would surely recognize that this guy was actually a young Six-eared Macaque.

  In a world without Sun Yuan, the long-haired and gibbon monkeys were somewhat disreputable, so the marriage between the red monkey and white monkey was also ruined. However, the six-eared macaque, who had been waiting for an opportunity, did not have one either. He could not imagine the stubbornness of the gibbon monkey. If it weren't for the fact that the gibbon monkey deeply admired a certain monkey, he would not have considered their opinions at all.

  Therefore, the young Six Ears Macaque also left Mount Huaguo in dejection. Due to Sun Wukong's arrival, although this life was somewhat different, the result was the same - Six Ears Macaque still left Mount Huaguo with a heavy heart, taking an important step in his monkey life. Of course, these were things that Sun Wukong could not understand. At this moment, Sun Wukong did not think that his actions as a matchmaker would actually drive one of the Four Great Spirit Monkeys, Six Ears Macaque, out of Mount Huaguo.

  The sky gradually darkened, and bonfires were lit on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. A newlywed couple, under the auspices of the King of Beautiful Monkeys, followed the human customs taught by Master Sun Yuan, performing three bows and nine kowtows, and soon they were married. Although their wedding was over, the revelry of the monkey troop had just begun.

  Different from the hustle and bustle of the Huaguo Mountain monkey group, Liu Er, who had made up his mind, prepared a bag of fruit, picked up several bags of fruit wine, and took advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark to step out of Huaguo Mountain one step at a time, embarking on his own solitary journey.

  Taking advantage of the daylight, Liu Er ran quickly and soon left the area where the monkeys often played before sunset, arriving at the border of Huaguo Mountain. Further ahead were unfamiliar places. Seeing that the mountain road was not easy to walk, Liu Er decided to rest for a night, and when the sun rose the next day, he would continue on his way, which wouldn't be too late.

  At night, Liu Er shrunk under a mountain cliff, with no companions by his side, only himself alone. He couldn't help but feel a little sad, but thinking of the wedding on Huaguo Mountain, Liu Er's heart surged with motivation again.

  In the dead of night, a beast's howl echoed through the air. Liu Er curled up tightly, his heart filled with regret. In his mind, he recalled numerous times when these beasts had passed by his hiding spot, only to leave again for some reason. It wasn't until now that Liu Er believed the old monkey's words - it seemed that Mount Huaguo was indeed a place of great fortune. Only after leaving Mount Huaguo could one truly understand what it meant to live by the law of the jungle.

  On the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, Liuer had never seen so many ferocious beasts. Even tigers and lions there were quite spiritual and gentle in comparison. Compared to the beasts that occasionally passed by Liuer's side tonight, leaving behind a foul odor, the beasts on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits seemed to have become much more lovely all at once.

  It was not easy to wait until dawn, Liu Er secretly stuck his head out from under the cliff, carefully looked around for a moment, and after making sure that there were no wild beasts, Liu Er couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his violently beating heart slightly stabilized, he quietly walked out from under the cliff and stood on the road again.

  He looked back at the direction of the main peak of Huaguo Mountain, and at this time, Liu Er's heart was struggling. Last night's experience told him that the outside world was not as peaceful as inside, and if he wasn't careful, he might end up dying in a foreign land.

  After a struggle, Liu Er's heart flashed with the beautiful face of Hong Hou again. With a determined look, he took big strides outwards, filled with an unprecedented sense of determination. Poor Liu Er chose a path of no return because he didn't know that most first loves end in nothing.

  Treading on rugged mountain rocks, crossing muddy swamps, after half a day's journey, Liu Er chose a large tree and quickly climbed up, panting heavily for several breaths.

  Starting from the early morning, walking down from the cliff, facing the bright sunshine, Liu Er seemed to have returned to his years in Huaguo Mountain. Along the way, Liu Er picked flowers and played with butterflies, living a carefree life. In a relatively short period of time, Liu Er couldn't help but suspect that what he heard last night was just his own illusion.

  But it wasn't until he saw the corpse of a wild beast that Liu Er realized how naive he was. It was the corpse of a gray wolf, and when Liu Er passed by, the body had not yet rotted. The wolf's abdomen had been cut open by something, and at this moment its internal organs were empty, leaving only a few segments of intestine.

  The muscles on the gray wolf's body were almost torn apart. When Liu Er appeared, a group of crows were pecking at the wolf's head. The crows did not seem to be afraid of Liu Er's appearance, and although they left the wolf, they did not fly far away. Instead, they landed on a nearby tree, their pale eyes fixed intently on Liu Er.
