Chapter 47: The Azure Lakes Secret (2/2)

Yakuzan nodded, then sat down cross-legged. The monkey entered deep meditation, following the steps of all players that used to do the same on the surface.

-

”You can't even speak a common language! How dare you refuse me?!” KongFu's voice echoed within Yakuzan's mind. It wasn't a secret that this monkey god was someone akin to delinquent in his prime.

He was the leader who followed his feelings more than common sense. No wonder the Snake Goddess played with him and his son!

KongFu's deal was simple. He would take over Yakuzan's body and bring him to glory! However, how could Yakuzan even accept it? What glory? He would disappear and not even see the glimpse of this glory!

And would it be his glory? Would he work hard for it and feast on his deeds? Yakuzan refused this spiritual will and forced him outside!

The monkey god's disbelieving eyes widened, then his soul flew out Yakuzan. He became a baby monkey that wouldn't look weird with a nipple in its mouth. He tumbled on the ground, then raised his eyes at the towering Yakuzan! ”You look down on me? While I was in my prime, I withstood phoenix ladies' flames and rekindled their hearts with my gaze alone!”

[Tidbit: KongFu never got the phoenix lady's affection. All he got was a chilly gaze that he misunderstood.]

”Uhu,” As if knowing this trivia, Yakuzan spat near the baby monkey. Behind this soul hid the old and arrogant monkey, so he would gladly spit on KongFu's face. Alas, he missed as KongFu would never allow for more mishaps!

”Fuck it, I am too old for brats like you,” In his baby monke soul, KongFu declared. He found out that his materialized form didn't need a vessel and that he could just latch himself to Michu anyway.

The worst was that he looked like an intangible baby soul, so who would take him as Monkey God and listen to him?

”Listen, brat,” KongFu returned from the yellow river! He had no responsibilities and nothing held him back! He was like a genuine delinquent and impulsive monkey with just too much strength and wisdom, ”You are going to become one of Michu's trusted aides. In the lands connected to the heavens, each race is supported by belief! Don't misunderstand this term, though. It can be either belief, admiration, or any other emotion! Even hate can work!”

Yakuzan replied, ”Uhu?”

”I wasn't hated by phoenixes. How could I? Ahhh?” KongFu raised his baby's middle finger! ”It's too early for any believers anyway. It's important to set up a foundation, though. You will be the first one to believe in Michu, but all I see is mutual respect.” KongFu crossed his arms and looked at Yakuzan.

However, monke returned from his first battle, stopping the analysis.

”Oh, Yakuzan! You did it! I see you two are great friends already! Hehe! KongFu, Nice to meet you! Why are you so small, though? Aren't you Monkey God?” Michu titled his head.

”I am Monkey God. In this form, I am small, but in my prime, I am the most handsome monkey in the world.” KongFu freely declared as he raised his chin. He added, ”It's just a matter of time before you see my spiritual will resembling the prime form.” To the Monkey God's words, Michu nodded a few times.

He thought that something bad had happened and KongFu's will failed to properly materialize, but after speaking with The Monkey God, Michu could see that that was not the case. Could baby monkeys speak in a common language and even this fluently? Of course not, so Michu knew that there was an old monkey behind that soul form.

However, while Michu had been gleefully smiling and enjoying the meeting of these two, KongFu's eyes dilated. He glanced at both Yakuzan and Michu then whispered inwardly, ”There is mutual respect between them, so why do I feel like there's a believer-like connection already between them?” Though faint, The Monkey God's senses wouldn't lie to him! Honed by hundreds of years of experience, KongFu also refused to believe that he was mistaken.

Thus, it had to be true! Albeit faint, Michu already began to tread on the path of God's successor!

”Hmm.” KongFu leaped, latched himself to Michu's right arm, then looked at the water reflections, ”This place is not bad. It will let me see through your flaws and teach you a few tricks. What kind of tricks do you want to learn first?”

”I want to get stronger and learn how to attack and defend with staff at the same time,” Michu replied honestly.

”Heh! That's the basics, son.” KongFu patted Michu's arm, then class quests began to flood Michu's eyes.

One of them was weird, though.

”What is this... Skirt Lifting Sweep? It sounds wrong.”

”Uhu.”

”Heh, you two. Where are your dreams?” The old man's perverted side finally got revealed! KongFu shook his head and shrugged, ”The strongest bask in the attention. Though you can never get enough of those eyes, at some point, you began to yearn for some more. Embarrassed... Sultry... Angered... Oh, son... Eventually, your staff will move on their own to see and feel more! Women are that great!”

”No, that's wrong.” Michu rebuked, ”It's already rude to look for too long at a woman, so it's even worse to touch her without permission!”

”Uhu!” Yakuzan nodded in agreement. Though he used to steal his desired items, he also had proper manners! Both of them displayed a righteous side that Monkey God couldn't believe!

Michu said out loud, ”I will be The Monkey God that everyone can rely on! My back will be inviolable and my friends will be able to feel safe by looking at it! Together, we will reach out for our dreams! Hehe.”

”If wind raises the skirt, then it's unfortunate. But when I do it, I am getting rebuked? Eh, son!” KongFu shook his head, not even wanting to comment on the righteous monke.

However, Michu added, ”You will apologize to the phoenix ladies!”

The old pervert blanked, looked to the side, and imagined himself apologizing to those beautiful ladies, ”Haha! My return is already heaven-defying! If I return and apologize, then they will think the heavens had chosen me! Haha! I want to see those beauties... all on me! By then, my soul should be in its prime! Haha!” KongFu then choked, ”Snake! Where is that snake bitch?!”

”Don't cuss,” Michu said. His image of The Monkey God already greatly shifted. Though he never paid attention to that skirt lifting thing in his skill description, Michu could compare KongFu to many old men on the streets that openly commented on passing women and their bodies! They were all old, the same perverts! ”I like Yumi, so don't hurt her with your vulgar tongue.”

”Vulgar tongue? Sure, I won't hurt her with it,” KongFu said, then urged Michu to show off his skills!

Those would be heavily necessary when the real Snake Goddess appeared.
