Tang Zhi and his two disciples were resting with their eyes closed on the lounge chairs of the Gulu Hot Spring Inn.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Yineng had just finished soaking in the hot springs and were feeling very comfortable.
Zhu Yineng said to Sun Wukong, “Senior brother, you’re great at fighting demons, but who knew you’d also be good at taking care of kids? If you opened a kindergarten, all the kids on Mount Sea Island would sign up.”
“I’m not interested. Taking care of these little ones is more tiring than fighting demons.”
“But senior brother, I think you should find someone to marry and have a bunch of your own kids. Look at our master. Even though he doesn’t have a lover, many women love him. As for me, I have many women who love me, but I only love sweet Chang. But you, you neither love anyone nor are loved by anyone. Do you think a life like that is meaningful?”
Tang Zhi interjected, “Yineng is right. Wukong, you should consider your future. Although your origins are a mystery and you were born from a stone, you can’t let that delay your life’s important matters.”
Just then, a voice suddenly said, “That’s right!”
The three opened their eyes to see a young woman.
Tang Zhi asked in surprise, “Who are you?”
“I’m Gulu’s sister, Gu Xiaoyun.”
Zhu Yineng murmured, “Gulu is an alien, so if you’re his sister, then you’re an alien too.”
Gu Xiaoyun ignored Zhu Yineng and fixed her gaze on Tang Zhi. “I suppose you must be Dr. Tang. Ever since I arrived on Mount Sea Island, I’ve heard people say you’re very handsome. I was curious, so I came to see for myself, and you’re even more handsome than I imagined!”
Tang Zhi blushed.
Sun Wukong grinned, “Master, looks like you’ve got another admirer, and this time from across the galaxy. I think you should also find someone to marry. Even though you’re a robot, you shouldn’t delay such an important matter.”
He mimicked Tang Zhi’s tone.
“Nonsense!”
Tang Zhi’s face turned even redder.
Just then, someone deliberately coughed.
It was Princess Xiangxiang.
Zhu Yineng said, “When did you get here? I notice that you always show up whenever there’s a rival.”
Princess Xiangxiang glared at Gu Xiaoyun with hostility, “Don’t try to seduce Brother Tang Zhi while I’m not around!”
“Seduce?”
Gu Xiaoyun was puzzled at first, then she understood and retorted loudly with her hands on her hips, “Who’s seducing Dr. Tang? I like Sun Wukong!”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked.
Zhu Yineng said, “You just met my senior brother and you already like him? If it were love at first sight with my master, I wouldn’t be surprised since he’s so handsome. But my senior brother…”
“Wukong is even more handsome than Dr. Tang!”
Zhu Yineng couldn’t believe his ears, “You think my senior brother is more handsome than my master? Is this a case of love being blind, or do aliens have different aesthetics? But let me remind you, love isn’t just about appearances.”
“Who said it’s just about appearances? I’ve been watching since you guys came in, but you didn’t notice me. Wukong can create things out of thin air, fly on clouds, and he’s talented in so many ways. Who wouldn’t love him?”
“Senior brother, you have someone who loves you now, and she’s an alien…”
