Chapter 497: Being Deeply Moved
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Unfortunately for Xu Que, he did not get the chance to have sex with Su Ling’er that night since he wasn’t able to be alone with her.
After careful consideration, Su Ling’er decided to believe Xu Que. She would go with him to the Imperial City along with the remaining survivors of the Mysterious Clan.
She walked downstairs to the first floor and told everyone the news. However, she did not tell them that Sun Wu Kong was actually Xu Que. Instead, she just told them that Sun Wu Kong could guarantee a peaceful coexistence with the humans in the Imperial City.
Everyone became very excited.
“Living in the Imperial City? How can this be possible?!”
“Although humans have never tried to hunt us or kill us, there is still a great chance that they would kill us if we were to show ourselves to them.”
“Human beings simply don’t like us!”
“Well, I think things might be a bit different now. After all, the whole Fire Nation is under the control of our Shaman Demon King, who is also the leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction. With his authority to protect us, I think we might be able to live peacefully with humans.”
“Yes, I think you’re right.”
Xu Que, who was currently on the third floor, could hear what the Mysterious Clan members were saying downstairs. He then changed into the form of Sun Wu Kong and walked down to the first floor.
He stood in front of everyone and laid out a paper.
“Wo you yi ge meng xiang!” Xu Que read.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What on earth is he speaking? A foreign language?!
“Speak in a language we can all understand! You dead monkey,” Su Xiao Qi said.
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
Xu Que had modified the “I Have a Dream” speech to fit the needs of the Mysterious Clan. While this speech was originally created by Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, this speech was very touching and powerful when applied directly to the members of the Mysterious Clan.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were confused and astonished by his words.
What is he saying?! This nation will rise up? What nation? Us? All men are created equal?
He is right! All these years we have been working hard simply to be treated equally! To not be bullied by the Demonic Beasts! To have the same rights as everyone else!
Everyone began to shout.
“Shaman Demon King!”
“Shaman Demon King!”
“Shaman Demon King!”
Hearing this, Xu Que felt very upset and was about to throw the paper away.
Why do they always call me a Dirty Demon King? Can’t they call me a name that sounds better? Besides, am I really a dirty man?
However, there were still some people who had not been persuaded yet.
After all, the Mysterious Clan had been living a life of seclusion in the forest for many years. They were afraid that if they went to the Imperial City without fully preparing for and considering this decision, they may lose their lives. Even if they weren’t killed, they did not want to live as second citizens among the humans.
After these people had expressed their disagreement, Xu Que spoke again.
“It’s up to you. Do what you like,” he said. “For anyone who wants to come with me to the Imperial City, we leave tomorrow. As for those who prefer not to come, you alone will be responsible for what happens to you. I do not care if you get caught by the Demonic Beasts Clan and become their slaves. It’s none of my business. I wish you all good luck.”
He is right. If Sun Wu Kong leaves, we might be attacked again by the Demonic Beasts again…
The people who were originally opposed to the idea decided to change their minds. Thus, everyone now agreed to travel with Sun Wu Kong to the Imperial City. Su Ling’er was surprised at how easily Xu Que had persuaded everyone to agree with his plan.
Everyone began to cheer for Sun Wu Kong.
“Shaman Demon King!”
“Shaman Demon King!”
“Shaman Demon King!”
Xu Que couldn’t bear to be called “Shaman Demon King” any longer. He threw away his paper, turned around, and began to walk toward the stairs.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
“My God! We must have deeply moved the Shaman Demon King.”
“He probably never thought we would be able to still stick together after our last battle.”
“The Shaman Demon King must be crying, and he does not want us to see him cry!”
As Xu Que was walking upstairs, he felt the urge to spit out blood.
Crying? Seriously?!
He stomped up the stairs, trying to think of a way to get them to stop calling him Shaman Demon King.
Suddenly, a door in front of him opened.
Xu Que immediately smelled the familiar fragrance of Su Ling’er. She smelled just like a sweet flower.
“Xu Que, are you OK?” Su Ling’er asked. Su Ling’er also thought that Xu Que must be feeling very sad and touched.
I am fine. Why on earth does everyone think I am so emotionally weak?
Su Ling’er gently placed her soft hands on Xu Que’s shoulders.
“When I see everyone shouting your name together, I, too, am deeply moved by the scene. You can cry if you want, I won’t mind,” she said gently.
F*ck! I am not moved at all! I am feeling angry! OK!
“Don’t worry, no one will disturb us here. No one else will see you.”
Xu Que’s eyes sparkled. If this was true, then he was finally alone with Su Ling’er! He turned around to face her, his eyes rolling with tears.
Su Ling’er was surprised. She had never seen Xu Que cry before. She never thought a man as powerful as Xu Que could also cry like a child. This made her feel rather sad. Su Ling’er silently hugged Xu Que and patted him on the back.
“I am really touched by them! I really am!” Xu Que said through his tears.
I am such a good actor! Haha!
Xu Que did not feel any shame at all for faking all this.
Can I just have sex with her already? She admires me so much! Besides, I have already conquered her!
Xu Que continued to touch her body…
At last, his head was on her long, slim, snow-white legs…
Su Ling’er thought that he was probably just tired wanted to fall asleep in her lap, so she gently ran her fingers through his hair.
The clothes covering her legs were now very wet, stained by Xu Que’s tears and saliva…
