Outside the capital of Che Chi.
The Grand Preceptor led dozens of guards to welcome Madam Di Yong.
"Madam."
"Husband."
Two demonesses hugged each other in front of Monkey King.
"Mister, let me introduce you to my husband."
Madam Di Yong then introduced him to Monkey King. "He is the Grand Preceptor of Che Chi."
Monkey King looked over. The Grand Preceptor was a demoness in disguise.
This demoness had a beautiful face and golden pearls. When she stood together with Madam Di Yong, they could instantly cover up the sunlight in the sky.
"Emperor, I'm already like a sieve!"
Goku thought without batting an eyelid and bowed to the Grand Tutor.
He could already tell that this demoness was a scorpion spirit with powerful magic power.
Both the rat and scorpion spirits were mentioned in the Heavenly Book, and they were both related to Buddha.
Without a doubt, she was also a chess piece arranged by Buddha.
Monkey King didn't see this Grand Preceptor the last time he came. He must have intentionally avoided the Myriad Spirit Kingdom's investigation.
The Grand Preceptor seemed a little distant towards Monkey King, unlike Madam Di Yong.
After returning, he sent Monkey King to a side room in the Grand Preceptor's residence.
"Sister."
When they returned to their respective rooms, the scorpion spirit changed the way she addressed Madam Di Yong. "That person came with the Jade Faced Fox last time. I couldn't wait to avoid him. Why did you bring him back!?"
"Sister, don't worry. He's just an ordinary human."
Madam Di Yong told the scorpion spirit about Monkey King's coinage skills.
"Although his coinage skills are good, he can't be trusted."
The scorpion spirit was also interested in coinage, but she didn't lower her guard against Monkey King.
"You want to make him the prime minister, but the current prime minister is from the Star Luo Empire. It wasn't easy for us to obtain a place in Che Chi. If we openly make him our enemy, wouldn't all our previous efforts go to waste?"
"I understand even if you don't say it."
Madam Di Yong smiled. "I only promised him verbally. Why would I really promise him?"
"That's for the best."
The scorpion spirit's expression softened. "We must be careful and secretive."
"Of course I won't let him know."
Madam Di Yong told the scorpion spirit to relax. "This person doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. I can charm him and play him in the palm of my hand."
"No!
Sister, we can't let this person live. "
However, the scorpion spirit shook its head and said, "The people of All Spirits cannot be trusted. You'd better find an excuse to chase him away!"
"This …"
Madam Di Yong hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.
It was already late at night, so the two of them decided to rest.
"Star Luo?
Jade Emperor? "
Monkey King, who had been eavesdropping from afar, put down the book in his hand and pondered over their conversation.
The word 'Stellar Luo' from the scorpion spirit's mouth allowed him to quickly figure out many things.
"Stars in the sky, the Jade Emperor really likes to play."
He shook his head and laughed.
"If that's the case, there might still be variables in this matter."
Monkey King thought to himself. From the name 'Star Luo', he could deduce that the Heavenly Palace wasn't just there to lure a few rogue cultivators.
Perhaps they had really interfered in this matter.
But, what method did they use …
Monkey King pondered for a moment, then patted his head and laughed involuntarily.
"I've really been blinded by a leaf."
He thought it through. That method was unexpectedly simple. People with too many talents would definitely use this method.
"It was indeed the right choice to follow her."
Monkey King was very satisfied. He and Madam Di Yong had only been here for a day, but they had already roughly understood the situation.
This was much simpler than the investigation of All Spirits Kingdom.
It was a pity — it seemed like this trip would end sooner than he had imagined.
The next day, Madam Di Yong came to look for Monkey King with a radiant smile.
"My husband has gone to recommend you to His Majesty. I'll bring you around."
"Alright." Monkey King nodded.
"You're the wife of the Grand Tutor, why do you still want to do business?"
He asked on the way.
"It's just a hobby …"
Madam Di Yong's answer was watertight. She smiled and reminded, "Sir, you must not tell anyone. His Majesty doesn't know about this!"
"Don't worry, Madam."
Monkey King nodded. "I'm not a talkative person."
Madam Di Yong brought him around the capital of Che Chi Kingdom.
Monkey King had been in a hurry the last time he followed the Jade Faced Fox, so he didn't have time to admire the city. This time, he had a chance to take a good look around.
It had been decades since he stepped into a human kingdom. Monkey King also felt that it was very strange.
The streets of Che Chi Kingdom were crowded, and the peddlers' cries were endless.
Although it wasn't as prosperous and advanced as Myriad Spirits City, it was still a different kind of life.
There were many goods coming and going here, and he even saw glass.
It was some exquisite glassware, carefully placed in flannelette boxes by the peddlers.
Even though it was difficult to do business on the Path of Gold, there were still some small items from the Myriad Spirits Kingdom in the market.
Some children looked at the spiritual objects with great interest, listening to the stories of the Myriad Spirits Kingdom from the peddlers. Their eyes sparkled with anticipation.
This was very different from the human cities that Monkey King had seen when he was learning martial arts.
Now that he looked back, from the Monkey King of Flowerfruit Mountain to the Heavenly Venerable who ruled the world, Monkey King couldn't help but sigh.
"The world changes, it's really like a dream."
Monkey King thought as he sat in the courtyard to rest.
Thinking of dreams, he suddenly thought of a sacred art that he wanted to develop.
The Heavenly Palace schemed against him, how could he not scheme against the Heavenly Palace?
That night, Monkey King and Madam Di Yong returned to the Grand Tutor's residence and met the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor pretended to apologize to Monkey King. "If His Majesty is unwilling to invite you to be his minister, why don't you return to Myriad Spirits City first?
I'll invite you over after I convince His Majesty. "
This was just a superficial excuse. The scorpion spirit wasn't trying to help him seek fame.
"Forget it then."
Monkey King replied coldly.
Actually, this was exactly what he wanted. He didn't want fame in the first place.
"I'll return to Myriad Spirits City now."
Monkey King flung his sleeves angrily and was about to leave the Grand Tutor's residence.
"Wait, Mister."
Some people played the bad cop, while others played the good cop.
Madam Di Yong chased after him apologetically. After apologizing repeatedly, she ordered people to prepare a few boxes of jewelry for Monkey King as a thank you gift.
Monkey King's expression softened. "Madam, you're too kind."
"Mister's unhappiness is all because of me."
Madam Di Yong held his hand, her eyes filled with affection. "Please accept these, Mister, then you'll forgive me."
"… Okay."
Monkey King seemed to be moved by her expression. He accepted the jewelry and Madam Di Yong sent a team to send him off.
"My talisman is really effective …"
Before he left, he glanced at the two female demons and couldn't help but think.
"Sister, why are you still so polite to him?"
The scorpion spirit looked at the carriage leaving and was puzzled. "What else can we use him for?"
"This person is knowledgeable and priceless. Let's keep a good relationship with him. He'll be of great use in the future."
Madam Di Yong was already planning for the future.
The next morning, after the morning court, the king summoned the Grand Tutor for a private chat and talked about the coinage.
"Your Majesty, have you verified it?"
The Grand Tutor asked.
"Yesterday, the Grand Tutor gave me the technology. I got the craftsmen to study it and they all said it's feasible."
At this point, the king couldn't help but smile. "This way, our country's lack of money will be greatly alleviated."
“
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
The Grand Tutor hurriedly congratulated.
"The Grand Tutor has contributed greatly to this."
The king chuckled and nodded. Then, he was a little puzzled. "You said that you sent someone to steal this technology from Myriad Spirit. Why doesn't Myriad Spirit use it?"
"How could Your Majesty forget?"
The Grand Tutor smiled. "Myriad Spirit has long stopped minting copper coins."
"That's true!"
The king was enlightened, but then he became angry.
"Myriad Spirit really can't be trusted. They have such a good technology, but they keep it a secret. There must be a conspiracy behind it."
The Grand Tutor cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, please give the order to mint new coins."
"That's right."
