[Lighthearted, Sweet, and Satisfying + Journey to the West Fanfic + Regretful Pursuit + Mutual Protection]
The Three Realms are full of tales of the Victorious Fighting Buddha's unmatched prowess, but nobody knows that after attaining Buddhahood, he spends every day staring blankly at the top of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Because once, a little blade of grass grew there, keeping him company for ten thousand years.
Back then, he was a spiritual stone and she was a wild grass. He became the Great Sage just as she gained her first spark of awareness. He attained Buddhahood just as she took human form. Their karmic ties were unresolved and their love impossible to sever. Sun Wukong waved a hand and declared, “Buddha, I want to go down to the mortal realm and undergo tribulations!”
Reincarnated as a man in white, he immediately spotted the timid little girl who loved collecting shiny things and always secretly followed him. He was gentle yet distant with everyone else, but he spoiled her rotten!
“Broke something? It's fine, I'll pay for it.”
“Can't cook? It's fine, I'll do it.”
“You're a demon? What a coincidence, I'm not human either.”
When the demon king wrought havoc, she shielded him with her own body, and her soul returned to the heavens and earth.
The Great Sage flew into a rage. “You dared lay a hand on my grass? I'll wipe out your entire clan!”
He gave up all his Buddhist power and entered the cycle of reincarnation. After attaining Buddhahood, I wanted nothing at all. I only went to the mortal realm to pursue my little blade of grass.
