We bear people have power

Guan Bo knew that a big shot had arrived as soon as he saw Xiao Bailong's posture, but he didn't expect this person to arrive so quickly and in such a shocking way.

This Black Wind Mountain Cave extends deep into the mountain's belly, separated by hundreds of feet of rock. It is reinforced by defensive formations, yet it is also permeated by Buddhist light, making it truly incredibly powerful.

He rushed out of the cave, only to see the Black Bear Demon feint an attack, forcing Monkey King to take a half-step back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Black Bear Demon transformed into a gust of wind and entered the cave.

Monkey King stood in mid-air, holding his staff, with a cold smile on his face.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sits serenely on a lotus throne, truly exuding sanctity; just one glance is enough to purify the soul.

Guan Bo was a little stunned by what he saw. He stood dumbfounded in front of the cave entrance of Black Wind Mountain, not knowing what expression to make.

The ungrateful Little White Dragon instantly changed his expression, grabbed Guan Bo's arm and said, "Bodhisattva, I have captured the second leader of Black Wind Mountain and await your judgment."

Guan Bo felt a surge of anger rising to his head. This guy turned on him way too quickly!

Just as he was about to curse, he realized that Little White Dragon's hand wasn't exerting any force at all.

A voice from the little white dragon whispered in his ear, "In a moment, I'll pretend to be caught off guard and get ambushed by you to distract them. You quickly hide in the cave."

Hearing this, Guan Bo's eyes welled up with tears; he hadn't been wrong about this friend after all.

Before the two best buddies could even put on their acting, the Black Bear Demon reappeared. Although he was still the same dark-skinned, burly man, he was now dressed in brand new clothes.

The dark-skinned man was dressed in a black and green silk jacket, covered with a dark blue brocade cloak, wearing a black horn turban and a pair of suede boots. Upon seeing the Bodhisattva's face, he straightened his clothes and descended the steps to greet her, saying, "The Bodhisattva's arrival brings glory to my humble abode on Black Wind Mountain. Years have passed since we parted, and now we meet again. Yesterday's events seem as vivid as if they were just yesterday."

Guan Bo and Xiao Bailong stared wide-eyed.

Is this still the same black bear demon who used to shout "Kill a thousand times!" and whose clothes were just strips of cloth?

This isn't just changing clothes; it's like she's been given a new soul.

At this point, Guan Bo and Xiao Bailong couldn't keep up the act any longer, so they had no choice but to focus on being spectators.

It must be said that the power of love is great; it can instantly transform the Black Bear Spirit into a gentleman—no, a refined gentleman. His conversation with Guanyin Bodhisattva reveals his profound Buddhist knowledge; all those years of chatting with the old man at Guanyin Temple have not been in vain.

These two, discussing Buddhism and Taoism, started with the topic of the kasaya (Buddhist robe), but their conversation drifted off to other topics.

Then, Guan Bo and Xiao Bailong's group of onlookers gained another member, oh, this one is the peach eater.

With a whoosh, Monkey King vanished without a trace, then returned with another whoosh, this time holding a large, pink peach in his hand.

Then this guy squatted down next to Guan Bo and Xiao Bailong and started eating heartily.

Juice splattered everywhere, and the aroma filled the air. Guan Bo felt completely refreshed after just one sip; this peach was definitely no ordinary fruit.

"Um, Great Sage, are these peaches from heaven?" Guan Bo asked, looking at Monkey King with the adoring gaze of a star-struck fan.

"You know your stuff. These peaches were taken from the Queen Mother's Peach Garden by me, Old Sun, and hidden in Flower Fruit Mountain. There aren't many left."

Everyone says monkeys are clever, and Brother Monkey is the cleverest of all. How could he not understand Guan Bo's meaning? So he deliberately teased him.

Over the past few days, Monkey King had already found out exactly what monsters lurked in Black Wind Mountain. Naturally, the friendship between the White Dragon and Guan Bo also didn't escape Monkey King's discerning eyes.

However, since Monkey King was a demon, he naturally wouldn't discriminate against other demons. After fighting the Black Bear Spirit for so many days, they had actually developed some camaraderie. An opponent who could give Monkey King a truly satisfying fight was extremely rare.

Therefore, whenever the Black Bear Spirit said "truce," Monkey King did not pursue and kill him. Otherwise, how could the Black Bear Spirit match Monkey King's enduring strength and indestructible body?

Generally speaking, if someone says there aren't many left, neither normal people nor demons would dare to ask for one. However, Monkey King underestimated Guan Bo's shamelessness. As soon as he heard it was one of those peaches that bloom once every nine thousand years, bear fruit once every nine thousand years, and ripen once every nine thousand years, he couldn't hold back anymore and directly asked Monkey King, "Um, Great Sage, could I have a taste?"

"Hey, you monster are quite straightforward. In all my years, this is the first time I've encountered someone who directly asks me for peaches of immortality," Monkey King laughed.

“They’re just being foolish. Who wouldn’t want these rare treasures of heaven and earth? Why be reserved in the face of the path to immortality? If you’re truly without desires, what’s the point of cultivating immortality or practicing the Dao? Since you have something to ask for, why hide it? Just speak up directly so you don’t miss the opportunity.” Guan Bo revealed his thoughts without reservation.

"Not bad, quite to my liking. But since you know how precious these peaches are, I can't just give them to you like this. What will you offer in exchange?"

The Monkey King has lived for hundreds of years; he can't be fooled with just a few words.

Guan Bo thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't have anything that could compare to the peaches of immortality. On a sudden inspiration, he said to Monkey King, "How about I sing one for you?"

The White Dragon even dropped the carrot in his hand, and Monkey King almost spat out a mouthful of peach juice.

Throughout history, Guan Bo is probably the only one who would exchange his singing for peaches of immortality.

This guy was quite confident, and he started singing at the top of his lungs: "Now I'll sing you a song called 'Wukong': The moon splashes across the Milky Way, the road is long and winding. The smoke and dust have cleared, and I'm left alone in the dim light. Who made me so skilled, who made me torn between love and hate... What use is this iron rod to me, what good are these transformations..."

As the song ended, Guan Bo, still full of enthusiasm, continued, "Next, please enjoy the male solo 'Where is the Road Ahead?' You carry the load, I lead the horse, welcoming the sunrise, bidding farewell to the sunset. We smooth out the bumps, forging a great road; we fight through hardships, and set off again… Where is the road ahead? The road is right under our feet!"

This song was truly magnificent, making both Monkey King and White Dragon turn pale.

"Next, I'll continue singing a song..."

As soon as Guan Bo opened his mouth, Monkey King stuffed the remaining half of the peach into it without hesitation.

"Stop singing! I used to think that Master's headband was the most unbearable curse in the world, but today I realized that there are heavens beyond heavens and demons beyond demons. With your voice, you still dare to sing. I, Old Sun, admire your courage."

With a peach in his mouth, Guan Bo felt the fragrance lingering in his mouth, as if it were permeating every pore of his body.

In the blink of an eye, Guan Bo felt his demonic power surge, pushing his newly acquired intelligence to the point of near-transformation.

The feeling of his demonic power surging was exhilarating, causing Guan Bo to roar out loud. This roar also drew Guanyin Bodhisattva's attention to Guan Bo.

“Hmm, this bear…” Bodhisattva frowned slightly, did some calculations with his fingers, and began to deduce Guan Bo’s background.
