Ch 25-The Monkey King 2
Last chapter recap-
'Dam isn't that Jing yuan! I wonder if Blade and Dang Heng are here too, along with the other fox lady that was friends with them in the game' Meliodas said in his mind, although he was surprised that.
-----------------
looking at the quiet Meliodas Jing Yuan chucked and introduced himself. "*Chuckle* nice to meet you Meliodas my name is Jing Yuan commander of the cloud knights here at the Xianzhou Luofu," he said with a warm smile towards Meliodas.
"Huh? Xianzhou Lufou, doesn't it mean floating boat or something? Where are the floating boats?" Meliodas Asked
Hearing his words Jing Yuan only smiled at him and pointed out the window.
looking at his gesture Meliodas went towards the window and looked up seeing hundreds of floating islands interconnected by bridges and boats flying among the clouds.
"Dam I guess I better start looking up from now on" Meliodas joked making the others laugh
"hahahah indeed!, but now then let's get to the main point, let me see it," Wukong said with a laugh.
Meliodas hearing his words nodded and a little girl materialized out of nowhere making him surprised at the sheer amount of negative energy Rika had outside the ring.
"hoho!, the last time I saw a curse as strong as this one was in my battle against sukuna!" Wukong said In surprised
'Sukuna?, they have him here too!' Meliodas said in a surprised tone.
he remembers that Sukuna was called the King of curses from the sheer amount of cursed energy he had, just as Gojo called Rika the Queen of curses for having an absurd amount of cursed energy herself.
As Meliodas was in his thoughts Rika turned around facing Meliodas and raised her arms.
"huh?" Meliodas seeing her gesture was confused as to why she raised her arms
*Shake*
"Now she's shaking them?... Oh!" Meliodas who was still confused realized what she wanted and picked her up and seated her down on his shoulder earning him a face-covering hug from Rika that was on his shoulder.
on the side, Sun Wukong became amused at the Curse's actions. usually they would be hell-bent on causing trouble for living beings, but after meeting her, his view changed. At most, she looked like an overly clingy little sister.
'fufu~ now this is amusing. wonder how the kid tamed a curse like her' wondered Wukong on his mind with Amusement.
*Step*
*step*
*step*
As Melioas and Rika were having their little fun time wukong approached them earning him a dangerous glare from her.
"hey hey hey! It's fine Rika he won't do anything!" Meliodas said trying to calm down Rika that was trying to protect him.
Wukong finally reached them, he asked Rika "Are you evil?" he said casually
Hearing his words Rika shaked her head signifying a no.
"are you going to hurt anybody," Wukong asked again but this time rika didn't answer.
"let me rephrase that... are you only going to hurt whoever hurts Meliodas" Wukong asked.
hearing this rika nodded her head in a yes
Seeing her answer wukong said "I see good to know" Wukong said casually making Jingliu earn a tickmark on her forehead because of her king's casualness on the matter.
Even Jing Yuan's smiling figure couldn't help but have his lips twitch in annoyance at how casual Wukong was. "well if the king says so then she's good i guess " said Jing Yuan in defeat
"Here Meliodas" WUkong said giving Meliodas some sort of jade talisman with a monkey carved on it.
"What is this thing?" Asked Meliodas
"It's a sigil of recognition, as long as you show this to others they will not mess with you or..."
"Rika" Meliodas said giving them her name
"yes Rika, as long as you have that, no Adepti within our own law won't mess with you or try to exorcise it" Wukong said
Meliodas looked back at the Talisman with a smile knowing that Rika was finally safe and that he wouldn't be hunted down by the five strongest Adepti around.
"Oh yea by the way wanna be my disciple" Wukong asked with a casual smile
"..." (Everyone)
"...Really?" Asked Meliods, knowing he was going to be stuck here for three months melodies thought 'Fuck it why not, he is the strongest around here so might as well make the most of it'
"Sure I don't have anything better going on" he shrugged saying those words
"What do you mean by 'nothing better to do' you have a whole dam city to rule and manage!!!" said Jingliu as he grabbed Wukong's head in anger.
"H-hey come on, it's boring doing all that paperwork!" Wukong said as he attempted to get out of Jingliu's grip.
"PAPERWORK YOUR HARY ASS!!, ME AND JING YUAN ARE THE ONES THAT DO IT FOR YOU!!!" Yelled JIngliu in anger seemingly noyed at her king's personality.
"B-But I am doing work, having good relations with this boy here could be beneficial to our country or something like that," said Wukog in his defense or more like making the best excuse he could make at the moment.
"...*Sigh* fine," she said, letting go of his head
rubbing his head from the pain he looked at Meliodas and said "So you up for it," he said with a grin
"Hell yeah!" Meliodas said with a grin matching Wukong's energy
"HAHAHAH! Good!, then you will be staying here for the time being!" he said with a happy smile.
Hearing that he will stay here Jingliu also showed a smile as she could discover more about the mysterious boy she brought home.
"And you will be living with Jingliu... after all, you are a 'CLOSE FRIEND' of hers, right?" he said with a massive teasing gin.
Hearing this Jingliu went red and created a giant icicle and shot it at him only to be destroyed by one of his punches, the thing is that he wasn't mad but only found it even more amusing.
"Eh?, you heard that?" Melodas asked in surprise. he didn't think he would know of the event that happened when they came here.
"Heh of course I do, I was notified of both your rivals once you both entered through the barrier. And by coincidence the person that was supposed to pick you both up heard the conversation and reported it to me" he said as he kept on teasing Jingliu.
Meliodas hearing these chuckled nervously as he knew that he and Jinglius 'Spar would be sooner than he would have wished it would be.
