I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

If he chose to escape, then perhaps he wouldn’t have needed to use the fifty or so talismans.

However, in order to save the Golden-Eyed Monkey King, An Lin had decided to stay.

The Golden-Eyed Monkey King walked up to An Lin and saluted. “Thank you for saving me.”

An Lin looked at the Ugly Monkey King in surprise. “We took all your immortal fruits, why are you thanking us?”

An ugly smile appeared on the Ugly Monkey King’s face. “It’s better that the immortal fruits ended up in your hands than in the hands of the despicable brothers who betrayed me. Furthermore, you could’ve chosen to escape straight away. However, you chose to stay and save me instead.

“Based on this alone, I must thank you.”

An Lin chuckled in embarrassment and took an immortal fruit from his storage ring. “How about this… I’ll give you an immortal fruit. After all, you worked hard to cultivate them. You should at least have the chance to taste them.”

Looking at the immortal fruit that An Lin held toward him, tears instantly formed in the Ugly Monkey King’s lightbulb-like eyes.

After being betrayed by his brothers, it could be said that his heart had already been severely scarred.

However, in a time of great danger, there was a person who courageously stood in front of him.

Not only did this person save him, he even gave him an extremely valuable immortal fruit…

There was absolutely no need for this person to do these things, yet he still did them.

Why…

Why was he so good to him…

The Ugly Monkey King was trembling as he accepted the immortal fruit.

Large tears rolled down his cheeks. This scene was very touching.

Xue Zhuoming, Luo Ziping, and the others were all stupefied. They looked on at the scene playing out in front of them in a daze.

What was going on?

Weren’t they thieves and bandits right now?

An Lin handing back one of the stolen immortal fruits was already a bizarre act.

However, the Ugly Monkey King accepting this immortal fruit with tears of gratitude streaming down his face had them in absolute shock.

Xue Zhuoming pulled at his hair in frustration. “Who can tell me what the hell is going on?!”

Tears welled up in Miao Tian’s large eyes. “Although I don’t know what happened, I keep getting the feeling that it’s very touching!”

Zong Yongyan waved his fan mechanically. “Big Brother An’s each and every action carries with it the demeanor of a supreme being. It isn’t something that we can fathom.”

Seeing the Ugly Monkey King’s expression, An Lin felt even more embarrassed. “Is one enough? My team has six immortal fruits. If one’s not enough, then I can give you my one too.”

Hearing this, the Ugly Monkey King shook his hands vigorously. “No, it’s fine, it’s fine. Keep the remaining fruits for yourselves!”

The monkey king wiped away his tears and looked at An Lin. “I still haven’t asked for your Dao title yet.”

An Lin joined his hands in salute. “I don’t have a Dao title yet. Just call me An Lin.”

The monkey king nodded. “Brother An Lin, my appearance is ugly, so you can just refer to me as Ugly Monkey King!”

“Ugly Monkey King sounds terrible! Why don’t we call you Xiao Chou ¹instead!

“It’s easier to say and also sounds good!”

An Lin had never contemplated how universally shocking his naming skills were. In his pocket, Xiao Hong trembled in fear, frightful that her master would be bashed to death.

Who knew, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King stood there in a daze as a warm feeling suffused through his body.

Xiao Chou…

What an affectionate name!

Back in the day, there was only a white fox who called me that…

Thinking of this, the Ugly Monkey King sniffed, and he almost started crying again.

“Big Brother An, let’s go. I have delicious food and drinks in my cave. Want to grab a drink with me?”

The Golden-Eyed Monkey King was extremely moved as he looked toward An Lin.

An Lin stroked his chin and looked at the time. “Sounds good to me, I haven’t had anything to eat today,” he nodded.

“Hahaha! Big Brother An, if you want to eat something particular, just tell me. The Mountain of Fruits and Flowers has an abundance of resources, I can get you anything you want…”

Just like that, they walked into the cave with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Standing in the wind, Xue Zhuoming and the others were all in a state of utter confusion.

Looking at the scene in front of them, they were absolutely gobsmacked.

Xiao Chou? Big Brother An?

What the hell is this?!

You came to steal, brother!

So be it if the bandit didn’t flee after stealing.

But what the hell was with the owner warmly receiving the bandit and referring to him as a brother?

Xue Zhuoming was utterly speechless. He couldn’t understand this development of events at all.

Luo Ziping rubbed his eyes, a look of astonishment on his face. “Have they gone crazy, or has this world gone crazy?!”

Zong Yongyan waved his fan stiffly and didn’t speak a word.

Miao Tian, however, grabbed onto Sun Shenglian’s hand and followed after An Lin. “Hurry up, Sister Sun, I’m also hungry!”

…

The monkey army brought in plate after plate of delicacies. There was also fine liquor and fruits unique to the Mountain of Fruits and Flowers.

An Lin and the Golden-Eyed Monkey King drank and chatted merrily. Next to them, the rest of An Lin’s group also ate quite a bit.

Although the members of the hunting group were wary, they also started eating after seeing that there was no problem with the food.

Only the soldiers who were tailing An Lin and his team remained outside the cave.

As they ate, there were also beautiful female monkeys who danced in front of them.

M-hm…

In the eyes of humans, they looked very ordinary.

“Brother Xiao Chou, what’s your relationship with Sun Wukong—The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal ² ?”

After a few drinks, An Lin asked the question that he was most curious about.

If it wasn’t for the Golden-Eyed Monkey King being so ugly, people really might’ve mistaken him for the legendary Sun Wukong.

At the mention of Sun Wukong, the monkey king’s eyes lit up. “He’s my idol! Think about it, he desired to trample through the southern skies and shatter the heavens! Think about how that strengthened the prestige of our monkey tribe!

“One day, I also want to carry a staff and fight my way up into the Heavenly Court!”

“Pfff…” Miao Tian couldn’t help but spit out the liquor she was drinking.

Luo Ziping and the others also wore strange expressions.

What the f*ck… They themselves were members of the Heavenly Court!

How about they fight right now?

“It’s a pity that Sun Wukong has already gone to the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, being the Victorious Fighting Buddha that he is. Or else, I’d definitely go to meet him in person.” There was a hint of disappointment on the monkey king’s face.

Hearing this, An Lin nodded thoughtfully. He drank another cup of fruit wine before asking, “Xiao Chou, this world is actually really big. Don’t you want to venture out into the world? Perhaps you’ll become much stronger during your journeys. At that time, the Buddhist Kingdom of the West may not seem that far at all!”

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King sighed. “I’ve already considered this before. However, humans are sinister and cunning, their trickeries running deeper than the deepest of seas. One slip up, and I might be consigned to eternal damnation. I’m better off just cultivating earnestly at the Mountain of Fruits and Flowers. Without any fortuitous encounters, cultivation speed may be slower, however, it’s much safer staying put!”

Unexpectedly, An Lin shook his head firmly. “If I wasn’t present today, what fate would you have met?”

Hearing this, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King was momentarily dazed. Then, as if coming to some realization, he sighed. “I’m afraid I would’ve died.”

An Lin nodded and continued, “Indeed. Human trickeries may run deep, but deep mountains have slipperier paths…

“Being in a spirit mountain, it’s hard to say whether a powerful beast will suddenly develop an interest in you or your land. Growing stronger quickly is the only way out of this predicament!”

The Golden-Eyed Monkey King looked at An Lin and asked, “So, what Big Brother An means is that…”

“What I mean is that you should follow me for a while and venture the outside world with me. If you feel unaccustomed to the outside life, then you can choose to return here!” An Lin explained sincerely.

Just like that, Xue Zhuoming and his hunting group became stupefied once again.

Staring at An Lin in astonishment, Luo Ziping and the rest of An Lin’s team either spat out the wine that they were drinking or choked on their own spit.
