Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

He secretly wondered if the other man had seen him somewhere, and if he had, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

Meanwhile, inside Master Roshi's house, King Pilaf, along with his two henchmen, Mai and Ash, were searching for the Dragon Balls. They had searched almost the entire house, but still couldn't find anything.

"Could it be that this old man took the Dragon Balls with him?" Pilaf said, frowning.

Left with no other choice, the three of them went outside the Turtle Hermitage to look for more clues. Just as they stepped outside, they saw an alligator wearing sunglasses, lounging in a rocking chair, basking in the sun.

Upon seeing the crocodile, King Pilaf immediately ran over, took out a small knife, and said to the crocodile, "If you don't want to be turned into crocodile dumplings, you'd better tell the truth: where did Master Roshi go?"

Seeing that King Pilaf had actually taken out a knife, the crocodile was so frightened that it broke out in a cold sweat, and then obediently said, "I went out with the giant sea turtle."

Just then, Master Roshi was seen standing on the giant sea turtle, approaching the shore.

"They're back," the crocodile said excitedly, as if it had seen a savior.

Upon seeing Master Roshi, King Pilaf immediately shouted, "Old man, where are the Dragon Balls?"

This time, they finally got accurate information about the Dragon Balls, and King Pilaf was really looking forward to it. If he couldn't find it, he would really go crazy.

"What's all this noise about?" Master Roshi said with some displeasure, looking at the three strangers who had suddenly appeared on the once quiet island.

But when King Pilaf asked about the Dragon Balls, he nodded and said, "Oh, it's the Dragon Balls. I just gave them to a girl."

"What?!" King Pilaf looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had finally found the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls and he was determined not to miss them again.

"Where is that girl?" he asked anxiously.

Master Roshi pointed his staff in the direction where Bulma and the others had been, and then said calmly, "Right there."

Chapter 654 Bulma's Jealousy

King Pilaf immediately ordered, "Quickly follow me and chase after them. We must find the Dragon Balls."

Seeing King Pilaf's anxious expression, Master Roshi muttered again, "He's really valuable. Maybe we shouldn't give him any."

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, so Master Roshi could only sigh helplessly in his heart, filled with nothing but regret.

"Hey, give us a push!" King Pilaf shouted at Master Roshi. Their spaceship had transformed into a sea vehicle, but because it was stuck on land, it couldn't get into the sea.

Upon hearing King Pilaf's words, Master Roshi angrily retorted, "Intruding on someone else's territory without permission, and with such a lack of manners!"

However, the old man was no good either. He took the stick and started hitting the back of the spacecraft hard, quickly smashing a large hole in it. Only then did he manage to push the spacecraft into the sea.

King Pilaf quickly started the ship and sped across the sea.

"Your Majesty, it would be faster for us to fly," Ash said helplessly to King Pilaf.

However, King Pilaf angrily replied, "Shut up."

You must understand, he is the king, and no one is allowed to disobey any decision he makes; he is the supreme being.

Just then, Xiao Wu felt something wet under her feet. Looking down, she saw that the cabin was leaking.

"Oh no, it's leaking!" Xiao Wu shouted, but the water was too strong and quickly flooded the cabin. As seawater entered the cabin, the ship sank...

After a night's rest, Li Xiuyuan, Goku, and Bulma finally set off again at Goku's urging. Bulma pressed a button and stored the house directly into the Capsule, and then Goku summoned the Flying Nimbus.

Since receiving the Flying Nimbus from Master Roshi yesterday, Goku has been absolutely enamored with it, even using it to go to the toilet. This has made Bulma extremely envious. Li Xiuyuan, on the other hand, has no interest in it whatsoever. Moreover, even if he were given the Flying Nimbus, he might not be able to control it. Of course, this is on the premise that Li Xiuyuan doesn't make any moves. If he were to unleash his full power and directly use his supreme magic to destroy the restrictions placed on the Flying Nimbus, it would be an easy task. However, Li Xiuyuan has never been interested in the Flying Nimbus, so he doesn't even have such an idea.

"Goku, let us ride on the Flying Nimbus too," Bulma said to Goku after putting away the Capsule.

Since there are such convenient means of transportation, Bulma definitely doesn't want to continue riding motorcycles anymore. Riding a motorcycle is nowhere near as cool as riding the Flying Nimbus.

Upon hearing Bulma's words, Goku looked troubled: "Bulma, not just anyone can ride the Flying Nimbus. Only good kids can ride it."

Wukong's face was full of innocence, and his simple appearance made people want to laugh.

Upon hearing Goku's words, Bulma immediately flew into a rage and retorted, "Don't I look like a good kid?"

She's a genius girl with an incredibly pure heart, how could she not be a good child?

Seeing Bulma like this, Li Xiuyuan was completely speechless, thinking to himself, "You think you're truly free from worldly desires? If you are, I would have severed all ties with the mortal world long ago."

However, he couldn't say that out loud, so he smiled and said to Bulma, "Bulma, why don't you try it and see if you can sit on it?"

Anyway, Li Xiuyuan already knew the outcome, but in order to make Bulma give up on the idea, he still suggested that he try it himself, so that Bulma would not think about it anymore.

Hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Bulma nodded. Indeed, this was the best way. Whether she could ride the Flying Nimbus or not, she would know after trying it. However, in Bulma's heart, she was certain that she could ride it.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had said so, Wukong naturally wouldn't object anymore.

Bulma walked up to the Flying Nimbus with a satisfied smile on her face, and leaped into the air. But the next moment, Bulma fell off the Flying Nimbus face down and landed on the ground.

"Bulma, are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan quickly went over, helped Bulma up, and asked.

"It hurts so much!" Bulma's face was full of grievance, and then she continued, "Why? Why can't I sit on it? Is being pretty a mistake?"

It turns out that Bulma attributed the reason to her being too beautiful, which is why she couldn't ride the Flying Nimbus.

Seeing Bulma's aggrieved expression, Li Xiuyuan quickly advised, "Bulma, it seems that the Flying Nimbus is not destined to be yours. I think we should ride the motorcycle instead. It's getting late, let's hurry up and go."

Four Dragon Balls have already been found, and the fifth one is next. Bulma's Dragon Ball Detector even shows that the fifth Dragon Ball is nearby. This is what Li Xiuyuan cares about most. As for other things, Li Xiuyuan doesn't care.

Bulma nodded. The fifth Dragon Ball was indeed not far from here. Then, he took out the Capsule Corp. again, retrieved the motorcycle, and the three of them set off again.

"Goku, can you please not go so fast?" Bulma complained, clearly annoyed, as Goku kept swaying ahead.

However, Goku didn't take Bulma's complaints to heart at all, and instead muttered, "Bulma, why are you so slow?"

The Flying Nimbus was indeed much faster than a motorcycle, but this only made Bulma angrier. She then looked at Goku and shouted, "You've broken the traffic rules! Can't you watch where you're going?"

But at that moment, Li Xiuyuan saw that there was a dangerous area ahead.

"Bulma, be careful!" Li Xiuyuan quickly called out to Bulma.

Chapter 655 Mysterious Village

But at this moment, Bulma's mind was still on Goku and the Flying Nimbus, so she had no interest in listening to Li Xiuyuan's explanation.

"Ah." In that instant, the motorcycle took off. It turned out that this was a steep hillside. Bulma had been so focused on complaining about Goku that she hadn't noticed anything. Now, she and Li Xiuyuan were flying up.

"Sigh." With a helpless sigh, Li Xiuyuan quietly stretched out his palm and released a gentle force that enveloped himself and Bulma. Although this force was not enough to completely protect them, it was enough to prevent them from getting hurt.

Otherwise, he was really worried that Bulma would go straight to the hospital.

"Bang!" With a crash, the two people and the motorcycle fell to the ground at the same time. "Waaah, it's all Goku's fault, it hurts so much!"

Bulma sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands and said aggrievedly.

After all, she's a girl, and she must feel wronged after going through something like this, which Li Xiuyuan could understand.

Helpless, Li Xiuyuan walked up to Bulma and said, "Alright, stop crying. Look, the Dragon Radar is working."

Li Xiuyuan pointed to the Dragon Ball radar scattered on the ground and said.

Sure enough, a small white dot was flashing on the Dragon Ball radar, indicating the location of the Dragon Ball.

At that moment, Goku also came over and picked up a scattered Dragon Ball from the ground. "Look, the Dragon Ball is glowing."

Indeed, the Dragon Ball in Goku's hand was shining brightly at that moment. It should be noted that the Dragon Balls react to each other, and they will emit light when they get close.

Bulma immediately stopped crying, and then said excitedly, "That Dragon Ball is very close to us. We'll get the fifth Dragon Ball soon!"

Seeing Bulma stop crying and start laughing, Li Xiuyuan smiled too. No matter what, Bulma was still a girl. No matter how talented she was in scientific research, she was still just a girl, and that was beyond doubt.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan did not have any other reaction to Bulma's rapid personality change.

"There's a small village over there, let's hurry over there," Wukong said, pointing to the village not far ahead.

Li Xiuyuan and Buma nodded at the same time, and then walked directly towards the small village.

After the three of them entered the small village, Bulma asked in confusion, "Why is it so quiet here? It seems like there's no one here."

Indeed, the village was not small, but there wasn't a single person in sight, which was extremely strange.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's divine sense had completely enveloped the small village. It turned out that there were people in every house in the village, but for some reason, they all looked terrified, trembling and huddled in their homes, as if something strange had happened here.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, then said, "There are people here. I can already sense their presence."

Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Wukong nodded as well, and then said, "I sensed the scents of several people."

Then, Wukong walked to a house, knocked loudly on the door, and shouted, "I know someone is inside, why isn't anyone answering us?"

There were indeed people in the house. At this moment, with Wukong knocking so loudly on the door, the people inside were almost scared out of their wits.

"The door seems to be locked," Bulma said, looking at the door.

Upon hearing Bulma's words, Goku clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the door.

"Bang." The force of the punch was quite great, actually smashing a large hole in the door.

Then, Wukong gently pushed the door open: "Let's go in."

"That's strange, why is it so quiet?" Goku muttered, while Bulma looked at him with a dark expression. This guy was so rude, he actually broke their door. What if they were really home? Wouldn't it be dangerous if they asked about it?

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuyuan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Danger."

Although his voice wasn't loud, both Goku and Bulma heard it clearly. They were both stunned for a moment, but in that instant, a figure in the darkness appeared, holding an axe, and smashed it down hard on Goku's head.

Since Wukong was walking at the very front, he naturally bore the brunt of the attack.

"Bang." The axe struck Wukong's head firmly, but shattered instantly. Immediately afterwards, a large bump appeared on Wukong's head.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Goku clutched his head and squatted on the ground, screaming loudly. Bulma covered her mouth, the scene was too terrifying. It all happened in the blink of an eye, and she didn't even have time to react before she saw the axe chop down on Goku's head.

Li Xiuyuan, however, showed no change in expression, her face remaining calm. She had already noticed the masked man's movements and had also warned Goku and the others, but Goku's reaction speed was too slow, so he couldn't dodge the attack. If it were the dozen or so Saiyans under her command, they would have easily dodged it if she had warned them.

However, Wukong's current strength is still far from sufficient. Under these circumstances, meeting Li Xiuyuan's requirements is simply a pipe dream. So, Wukong has no choice but to endure the hardship.
