”I am Xu Que!”

Whoosh!

Xu Que deactivated his Disguise Puppet. Xu Que's body was engulfed in a dazzling light, which faded to reveal the true appearance of Xu Que.

Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were dumbfounded. After all, they had just seen a monkey covered with golden fur transform into a gentle, majestic, pale-faced young man. It was unbelievable!

Sun Wu Kong is Xu Que, the famous young man who killed the Emperor of the Fire Nation!

Su Xiao Qi became flushed. Just before Xu Que revealed his true appearance, she had explained how much she adored him. She has no idea that she was saying those things to the real Xu Que! How embarrassing! She wished that she could hide herself from him...

D*mned monkey, d*mned Xu Que. They are all bad eggs!

”I don't understand… How did you enter our ancestral land?” Su Ling'er asked.

”I just used a secret magic art to change my temperament and appearance. Then, I concealed my cultivation level. That way, when I entered your homeland, the Lightning Pool Spell wouldn't be activated,” Xu Que explained with a wry smile.

”Why did you do that?” Su Ling'er continued to ask.

”Alas,” Xu Que sighed, ”I did what I needed to do to abide by the rules of this world. Sometimes, you need to hide your true self to get by!”

”Were you forced to do that?” she asked, a bit surprised.

”Of course not! In this world, no one can force me to do anything! All this time you have known me, you have only known me as Sun Wu Kong. Only now have I chosen to reveal my true self to you. What a twist of fate! Don't you think?” Xu Que said ruefully.

When he first came to the Mysterious Clan, his only goal was to act as tough as possible. He hadn't expected so many things to occur as a result of just visiting the Mysterious Clan. He was even enthroned as the Demon King of the Mysterious Clan just because of acting tough in front of them.

Su Ling'er still remembered the time when she first met Xu Que. Xu Que was disguised as Sun Wu Kong of course, and he was singing the song ”The King Ordered Me to Patrol the Mountain” just outside the tribe of the Tiger King, which was so weird and funny.

She believed that Xu Que meant no harm in singing this song. If he had, then why would he have been so willing to help the Mysterious Clan? He had even abdicated and handed the crown over to her.

”Why didn't you tell us you are a human being at the time?” Su Ling'er asked, puzzled.

Xu Que smiled and shook his head.

”Just imagine if I told you I was a human being back then. The Mysterious Clan would have driven me away, right?”

Su Ling'er and Su Xiao Qi were stunned a bit, then nodded silently.

Xu Que was right. The relationship between Mysterious Clan members and humans was quite unstable. It still was. The two parties were neither friends nor enemies, but they were extremely wary of each other. If Xu Que had revealed that he was human at that time, the people of the Mysterious Clan would definitely have thought he was conspiring against them.

”Then why do you tell us now?” Su Xiao Qi asked.

Xu Que squinted his eyes and sighed deeply. Then, he became earnest and sad.

”Alas, it is because I can't stand the inner torment anymore! It is so tiresome to cheat others. One small lie must be patched up with another thousand lies for people to still believe it to be the truth. You know I am an innocent, upright and honest man. For me, to tell a lie is even worse than death!”

Xu Que was so earnest and sincere, like a cute and innocent little kid. He almost shed tears as he spoke.

Snicker!
