In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Chapter 144 Old Pig Steals Watermelon

Several months later, the master and his disciples strolled into a grove of trees.

Sha Wujing suddenly said, "Second Brother, look, what a big watermelon!"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy hurriedly asked, "Watermelon? Hmm? Where is it?"

Sha Wujing raised his hand and pointed to the right: "Look, isn't it right there?"

Pigsy looked closely and exclaimed, "Oh my! Sure enough, there was a patch of land hidden in the woods on the right, filled with round watermelons, like chubby little babies."

Pigsy's eyes darted around, then he suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out, "Ouch! Ouch! My stomach hurts terribly!"

"Master, you go ahead, I need to use the restroom."

After saying this, he handed the rake to Sha Wujing and then dashed into the woods like an arrow.

Chen Yi knew what he was trying to do, shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, we'll be in for a treat later."

Sun Wukong: "With that pig-headed cowardly appearance, he might get a severe beating from his master."

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "What the Great Sage said is also possible."

At this moment, Jiang Liuer was holding Eleven while sitting upright on the horse, softly reciting scriptures to Eleven.

He turned his head and saw Sun Wukong and Chen Yi whispering to each other.

Unable to hear their conversation clearly, Jiang Liuer, filled with curiosity, asked, "Wukong, Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"

Chen Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing, I just told a scary ghost story."

Eleven, nestled in Jiang Liuer's arms, brightened up, sparkling like jewels. She stretched out her little hand towards Chen Yi, uttering a childish voice, "Daddy, Eleven wants to hear~"

After growing for several months, Eleven can now speak clearly. He usually clings to his father, Chen Yi, but is quite afraid of his father, Sun Wukong. Of course, he also loves his other three uncles very much.

On the other side, Pigsy couldn't wait to walk into the melon field. The lush green watermelons looked like tempting gems, and he couldn't resist picking one to quench his thirst.

"Achoo~"

The sudden sound was like a thunderclap, startling Pigsy so much that he trembled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

Then he saw an old man guarding a watermelon in a shed not far away, eating a watermelon.

Pigsy quickly got up, tiptoed behind the wooden shed, and then started barking like a dog.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Upon hearing the shout, the old man quickly got up to investigate.

Meanwhile, Pigsy took the opportunity to lie down on the ground and start eating watermelon.

Unfortunately, his loud eating attracted the old man's attention.

The old man looked up and saw Pigsy lying on the ground, feasting on his food.

The old man immediately threw a melon rind at him.

To everyone's surprise, Pigsy didn't react at all and even threw the melon rind back, as if to provoke the old man.

Old man: "..."

He had lived most of his life and had never seen such a blatant melon thief.

The old man was so angry he was practically fuming. He grabbed a stick from the side, sneaked up behind Pigsy, and unleashed a furious beating on him.

"Ouch!"

"Who hit me, Old Pig!"

Bajie's screams echoed throughout the entire melon field.

Old man: "I'll beat you to death, you melon thief!"

When Pigsy saw that it was an old man, he was so frightened that he ran away immediately.

As he reached the edge of the melon field, he didn't forget to grab a watermelon and run away.

The old man felt both angry and amused when he saw Pigsy being beaten and stealing his watermelon.

Other melon thieves would be scared away by a few shouts and warnings from him.

This melon thief got beaten up today and was yelling in pain, but he still managed to grab one before leaving. I don't know whether to praise him or scold him!

……

Pigsy, carrying a round, green watermelon, ran all the way to Jiang Liuer.

The watermelon was large, with a smooth rind and an enticing fragrance.

"Master, look! Your disciple has brought you a big watermelon to quench your thirst." Pigsy grinned and carefully placed the watermelon on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Liuer's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile: "Bajie, where did you get this watermelon from?"

Before Pigsy could answer, Monkey King eagerly interrupted, "He stole... umm..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yi, who was standing to the side, quickly reached out and covered Sun Wukong's mouth tightly, preventing him from continuing.

Then, Chen Yi smiled obsequiously at Jiang Liuer and said, "Bajie just went to relieve himself. He probably ran into the melon growers on the way. He must have been transformed from them."

If Jiang Liuer knew the melon was stolen, he definitely wouldn't eat it.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy nodded repeatedly as if he had been granted a pardon, and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, I just met a kind old man when I was taking a dump. He saw that I was sweating profusely, so he generously gave me this big watermelon."

After hearing this, Jiang Liuer smiled and nodded, indicating his understanding: "I see, Bajie, you've worked hard."

"Wujing, go and cut it open quickly, and share it with everyone."

Upon hearing his master's instructions, Sha Wujing readily replied, "Alright!"

As he spoke, he picked up a sharp knife, walked over to the watermelon, squatted down, and prepared to start.

At this moment, little Eleven, with his cute little short legs, ran over to Sha Wujing and squatted down beside him like a happy little rabbit.

A pair of big, watery eyes stared intently at the watermelon in Sha Wujing's hand, and he kept swallowing his saliva, looking so greedy that it was hard not to laugh.

Seeing Eleven's adorable appearance, Sha Wujing couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and gently patted Eleven's head, saying softly, "Eleven, don't worry. Uncle Sha will cut the watermelon and pick the biggest and sweetest one for you later."

Eleven blinked her bright eyes, nodded obediently, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you, Uncle Sha~"

Sha Wujing: "So good~"

After the watermelon was divided, Shiyi held his large slice of watermelon as if it were a rare treasure and excitedly ran to sit down next to Chen Yi.

He proudly showed off to Chen Yi, "Dad, look, this watermelon from Eleven is even bigger than Dad's!"

Chen Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, Eleven is the best, Eleven is really amazing."

Hearing Chen Yi's praise, Eleven instantly smiled like a blooming flower, her eyes almost squinting into slits: "Hehe~"

Sun Wukong looked at Eleven with disdain and said, "Why are you laughing like an idiot over a piece of watermelon?"

“I’ve never seen you this happy when your master gave you the scriptures before.”

Eleven glanced at Jiang Liuer, then whispered to Chen Yi like a little mouse, "Father, Eleven doesn't like scriptures, they make me dizzy."

Uncle Jiang recites scriptures to him every day, and he falls asleep quickly.

Chen Yi also lowered his voice and replied, "Father doesn't like it either. Eleven is like Father in this respect."

Eleven's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, I look like Dad!"

"I don't want to be like my father." He wrinkled his nose in disgust as he said this.

Chen Yi glanced at Sun Wukong, whose face was as red as Bao Gong's, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Sun Wukong: "..."

What's wrong with being like him? What's wrong with being like him?

He is the all-powerful Monkey King, and this brat dares to look down on him!
