I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I didn't have the ability to stop that demon monkey from taking your dragon ball. Please forgive me..."

A handsome young man in a black robe knelt before an elderly man in elegant attire, his voice choked with sobs, his eyes filled with guilt. The elderly man, with long dragon horns and fiery red whiskers, was pale as paper, and continuously spitting blood. He was Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, whose natal dragon ball had been stolen by the Six-Eared Macaque!

"Brother! You must hold on!"

Another old man nearby shouted anxiously. He looked very similar to the old man sitting there, both with long dragon horns, but their whiskers were green. He was Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and the father of Ao Lie, the little white dragon, and Ao Shuang, the little dragon girl.

Ao Guang raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to say something, but then he dropped it again powerlessly. His eyes gradually dimmed, and his life force grew weaker and weaker.

"Uncle!" The young man in black robe was extremely worried when he saw this. He quickly reached out to support Ao Guang's body and tried to inject his magic power into him to help him recover. However, Ao Guang's injuries were too severe, and the young man's efforts did not have much effect.

Seeing this, Ao Run hurriedly waved his hand to signal the young man in black robe to step aside, then stepped forward himself and continuously injected his magic power into Ao Guang's body. Ao Guang's complexion improved slightly, but he was still in danger.

"Damned monkey! How dare you steal the treasure of my dragon clan! I will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!" Ao Run said gritting his teeth, with anger flashing in his eyes.

The young man in the black robe stood up, clenched his fists, and slammed them hard on the ground. "Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely help you get revenge! That demon monkey is so arrogant and domineering, we must not let him go!"

"Mo'ang, don't worry about me, go save Aoxue and Aoshuang! They are no match for that demon monkey!"

Ao Guang said very weakly. He knew very well that his daughter and the daughter of the Dragon King of the West Sea were fighting fiercely with "Sun Wukong" and they were very likely to be unable to defeat "Sun Wukong".

"Uncle, I'll go right away!"

Just as Moang was about to grab his weapon, put on his armor, and go to help his sisters Ao Shuang and Ao Xue, he suddenly saw Ao Xue and Ao Shuang coming to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea with a group of strangers.

"Daddy!"

Ao Xue saw the weakened Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and rushed over. Ao Guang smiled with relief as he saw his daughter appear before him safely.

"My child! Your father is leaving. You must live happily and joyfully!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea spoke weakly, saying he had now completely accepted his imminent death. His only wish was that Ao Xue could live happily and not seek revenge on the demon monkey or reclaim the Dragon Ball.

"Father! We got the Dragon Ball back!"

Ao Xue cried out with tears streaming down her face. Her words were like a thunderclap, shocking the Dragon King of the East China Sea to the point of being stunned! Li Chen injected the dragon ball into the Dragon King's body without hesitation, and then transferred some of his own magic power to the Dragon King to help him recover quickly!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

As the dragon ball entered his body, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, let out a deafening roar. The sound reverberated across the seabed like thunder, causing the surrounding fish and shrimp to flee in panic. Then, his body began to shimmer with a dazzling golden light, like a brilliant pearl, illuminating the entire underwater world.

Enveloped in this golden light, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, gradually underwent a transformation. His shattered scales regrew, becoming hard and smooth. His broken whiskers quickly mended, swaying in the wind. Soon, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, was fully restored to health and vitality, as if he had never been injured.

"Father!"

Ao Xue rushed over excitedly and hugged Ao Guang tightly, her eyes filled with tears of joy. She had never expected that the magical dragon ball could make her father recover so quickly, and her heart was filled with gratitude towards Li Chen.

"Sister! How did you snatch that dragon ball from that demon monkey?"

Moang questioned Ao Shuang, doubtfully. He knew Sun Wukong was incredibly powerful, and that even he wouldn't be able to defeat him, let alone his sister, whose martial arts skills were even lower than his. He couldn't help but wonder how they had managed to snatch the Dragon Ball from Sun Wukong.

"Yeah, you must have suffered quite a few injuries fighting that demon monkey, right?!"

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, looked at his two daughters with heartache, concern in his eyes. He knew the demon monkey was extremely ferocious, and if his precious daughters were harmed, he would never let it go. With this thought, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he secretly vowed to protect his daughters.

"That's not Sun Wukong, that's Liu'er Macaque. He was resurrected by the Rain Witch. It was this immortal who helped us with the Dragon Ball, and it was he who snatched it away!" Ao Shuang explained to everyone. When they heard that the one who snatched the Dragon Ball was not Sun Wukong but Liu'er Macaque, everyone woke up from their dream.

"I was wondering why that monkey's temperament suddenly changed and he came to the Dragon Palace every day to steal treasures. It turns out he is the Six-Eared Macaque!" The two Dragon Kings said thoughtfully, and then they noticed Li Chen. They realized that it was Li Chen who helped their daughter get the dragon ball back.

The two Dragon Kings stepped forward respectfully, bowed deeply to Li Chen, and expressed their gratitude, "Sir, we are truly grateful! Your assistance allowed our daughter to return safely, successfully defeated the abominable demon monkey, recovered the precious Dragon Pearl, and even saved my life! We sincerely hope to host a banquet in your honor. Please stay in the Dragon Palace for a while longer!"

Li Chen smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement. "Well, this is a good opportunity to take this opportunity to share an idea about defeating the Rain Witch. I wonder if the two Dragon Kings would be willing to listen to it?"

Hearing Li Chen mention the Rain Ancestral Witch, the two Dragon Kings suddenly looked solemn and replied in unison: "Speak, Immortal!"

Li Chen looked at them seriously and said slowly, "I believe that to deal with threats like the Rain Witch and the Six-Eared Macaque, we need to unite all the forces we can. As a local force near Mount Huaguo, your East Sea Dragon Palace has a unique advantage. If we can join forces to defeat the Rain Witch, I believe we will achieve better results."

Upon hearing this, the two Dragon Kings expressed their agreement, "Your Excellency is absolutely right! The Rain Witch and the Six-Eared Macaque have always been a major threat to the Three Realms. If they are not eradicated, the consequences will be endless!"

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, said excitedly, "Your Excellency's actions truly eliminate harm for the Three Realms! No matter when or where, as long as Your Excellency needs us, our Dragon Palace will fully support us and be at our beck and call!"

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, also echoed, "That's right! As long as the Immortal gives the order, my Dragon Palace will go all out and fight alongside the Immortal!"

Li Chen was delighted to see their enthusiasm. "Alright! Then let's work together to fight against the Rain Witch and the Six-Eared Macaque, and restore peace to the Three Realms!"

Finally, the two Dragon Kings immediately ordered their men to start preparing a banquet. Everyone sat down at the table, drank heartily, and discussed together how to deal with the challenges brought by the Rain Witch and the Six-Eared Macaque.
