Chapter 27: Sun Wukong Falls Asleep, Sun Yuan Difficult to Come

  Sun Wukong and his group, after bidding farewell to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, had a smooth journey for half a day. Everything that was recorded happened as expected. Sun Wukong's bamboo raft sailed with favorable winds and currents, crossing the ocean at an incredible speed.

  Seeing that nothing bad happened, Sun Yuan's heart, which had been lifted up, temporarily put down. Half a day later, the two monkeys began to enjoy the fruits and food on the bamboo raft.

  Thanks to the monkeys of Mount Huaguo working together, the food on the raft was more than sufficient, and two monkeys could eat to their heart's content without worrying about running out of food.

  After eating and drinking, Sun Wukong let out a hearty laugh and said, "Brother, I feel a bit mentally exhausted, probably due to the consecutive nights of feasting. You keep an eye on the raft for now, I'll take a nap first. When I wake up, I'll switch with you and you can rest."

  "Alright, go to sleep with peace of mind. Judging from the current situation, we'll have a smooth journey and can cross the vast ocean in just over ten days or so. Who knows, by the time you wake up, we might already be on land." Sun Yuan waved his hand, feeling delighted at this moment as well. He didn't expect their journey to go so smoothly. Was he also stealing Monkey King's thunder?

  Although the things he worried about before did not happen, and it seemed that all his previous preparations were in vain, Sun Yuan's heart was not lost at all. If he could arrive safely and stably, that would be the best. His only purpose for this trip was to cross the vast ocean and reach Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, everything else was just floating clouds.

  As for how to cross the vast ocean, whether it's by relying on someone else's prestige or struggling to survive and carving out a bloody path, it's all the same to Sun Yuan. For now, thanks to basking in the glory of Sun Wukong, the journey is peaceful and the voyage is extremely smooth. While Sun Yuan is delighted, he can't help but feel some worry - is the glory of the Handsome Monkey King really that easy to bask in? In Journey to the West, those related to the Monkey King didn't have many good endings.

  "Alright, I'll take a nap first, you hold the raft, I'm so sleepy, how can I be so sleepy?" The beautiful monkey king stumbled and staggered for a few steps, almost falling directly into the sea. With great difficulty, he found a place to steady himself and continued walking forward, making Sun Yuan break out in cold sweat.

  The beautiful monkey king swayed and swayed, finally arriving at the other side of the raft, lay down, curled up his body, almost in the next instant, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, with a faint snoring sound already coming over.

  "Isn't that right! Fell asleep so quickly?" Sun Yuan looked at the scene with some amusement, then poked Monkey King with a long pole. As a result, Monkey King didn't even react, obviously having fallen into a deep sleep. If it weren't for the occasional snoring sounds, Sun Yuan would have thought that Sun Wukong had suddenly died.

  An hour later, the Monkey King's snoring remained unchanged, and Sun Wukong didn't care, picked up an orange, peeled it, took a bite, and looked around with some boredom.

  The vast expanse of the sea, empty and desolate, the azure ocean undulates gently under the sun's rays, this scene is very majestic, at first it makes people feel very refreshed, but after watching for a long time, all of this will lose its original color.

  At this moment, Sun Yuan truly felt the feeling of the ocean wilderness. Although he knew that the sea was the hometown of life and there were countless living creatures at the bottom of the sea, in a few hours of sailing, Sun Yuan saw nothing but endless seawater and waves in his field of vision, which made this hundred-year-old demon's heart feel a bit hairy.

  Although the Monkey King was still asleep, looking at Sun Wukong sleeping on the other side, Sun Yuan's somewhat restless heart suddenly calmed down, no matter what, he was not alone now.

  Looking at the monkey on the other side, Sun Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sigh. He thought that in those days, this ordinary little monkey had dared to go to sea alone to seek immortality, which required great courage. Even if he himself knew what was going to happen afterwards, facing the desolate sea and desert at this time, his heart would also rise with a mind to retreat. Sun Yuan found it hard to imagine how Sun Wukong faced all of this back then.

  The cool breeze brought refreshment, the vast ocean seemed to have a life of its own, constantly heaving with a gentle rhythm. Under this soothing environment, Sun Yuan gradually drifted off to sleep.

  Suddenly, Sun Yuan, who was fast asleep, opened his eyes and swiftly moved to the central part of the raft. As soon as he moved, a huge wave crashed down on his original position, sending the long pole inserted into the raft flying far away.

  "What a close call!" Sun Yuan secretly wiped away a cold sweat, the wave just now was at least 6 or 7 meters high. Looking around at the calm sea, Sun Yuan felt puzzled, he found it hard to imagine how such a huge wave could form on such a calm surface.

  In an instant, Sun Yuan raised his head to glance at the monkey king on the other side, and what he saw made him feel a little relieved. The beautiful monkey king was still sleeping soundly, snoring softly, apparently still in deep sleep.

  But then he thought about it, Sun Yuan immediately discovered that something was wrong! Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, and he suddenly remembered that it had been four or five hours since Sun Wukong fell asleep. The sun in the sky had already set below the horizon, and it was almost time to get off work and go home. In a corner of the sky, the moon also began to appear, revealing its head and feet.

  "What's going on? How can one sleep for so long?" Something was off about Sun Yuan's situation, it was very clear that even if the Monkey King's physical condition was exhausted, it was impossible to sleep for such a long time. There must have been some kind of situation that occurred. Was the real test just beginning, and all of this was just to get rid of the Monkey King?

  Thinking of his own loneliness on the sea surface before, and then thinking of Sun Wukong's living environment all along, Sun Yuan suddenly let out a bitter laugh, thoroughly understanding the reason for everything.

  I think when Sun Wukong crossed the ocean previously, he must have fallen asleep on the first day as well. Otherwise, with his monkey nature, how could he endure drifting aimlessly in the vast and lonely sea for over a dozen days? By the time he arrived at the Southern Jambudvipa continent, it wouldn't be a majestic and wild Monkey King that arrived, but rather a somewhat neurotic little monkey.

  "Grandma's, those guys are really good at plotting." Sun Yuan spat out a mouthful of saliva, secretly scolding the Heavenly Court and the West. He warned himself not to mention it, but since the beautiful Monkey King was asleep, the true horror of the East Sea might only reveal itself now. With a superior being protecting him, Sun Wukong would be fine, but he couldn't say the same for himself. The true terror of the East Sea had just begun to emerge, which meant that Sun Yuan's real test had just arrived.
