[Journey to the West] The Great Sage Is My Junior Brother

After Tu Yunzhou died, she was transported to a world with immortals. She huffed and puffed her way up a mountain and became a hermit's disciple.

She was her master's biggest headache, the most out-of-place senior sister in the sect, and the ultimate practitioner of effortless hedonism.

Senior Uncle: The Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. Hurry and join in.

Tu Yunzhou: Sorry, I'm not interested in taking the civil service exam. I'm a freelance immortal.

Senior Uncle: ...

More than a thousand years later, while she was leisurely sipping tea, her master, who was as elusive as a dragon, suddenly showed up.

"Disciple, come meet your newest junior brother, Wukong."

Tu Yunzhou: Pfft

Isn't this supposed to be Investiture of the Gods?!

*

She'd dodged the Investiture of the Gods, but not Journey to the West. Tu Yunzhou had gained a handsome little monkey as her junior brother.

What are junior brothers here for during their apprenticeship?

To get bossed around by their seniors.

"Hey, little monkey, massage my legs."

"Little monkey, my tea's a bit cold."

"Little monkey, pick me some fruit."

At first, the little monkey bared his teeth at her. Later, Tu Yunzhou said she'd teach him real skills, and he worked diligently, getting better and better at it.

Master: What did you learn from your senior sister?

Little Monkey: Your disciple has now mastered hand games, mahjong, guandan, eavesdropping, and gossip.

Master: ???

The day Sun Wukong was expelled from the sect, he looked back three times as he walked away, and all three times he was looking at her.

"Senior Sister, come visit Old Sun at Flower-Fruit Mountain sometime!"

Tu Yunzhou didn't answer, and she didn't go for a cup of tea either.

But when Sun Wukong caused Havoc in Heaven, she drew her sword in front of all the immortals for the first time.

When Sun Wukong was pinned beneath Five Elements Mountain, she went to the Western Heaven not with a jug of wine, as usual, but with a knife, to demand an explanation from the Buddha.

When Sun Wukong set off on his journey west, Tu Yunzhou said, "Only an idiot would go on a journey like that."

The senior sister who loved her afternoon naps was kept from getting even one uninterrupted rest by a string of little, childish calls.

"Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister!"

"Hey, Senior Sister~"

With dark circles under her eyes, Tu Yunzhou watched the golden monkey head bobbing around in front of her all day and let out a long sigh.

"Go on, which demon can't you beat this time?"

#He's my junior brother. What else can I do but protect him? #

#Senior Sister, why are you so lazy? #

#Senior Sister says she'll protect Old Sun, but she's helpless at daily life. #

Little scene:

"Senior Sister! All our other senior and junior brothers are at the dojo listening to a lecture. Why are we the only ones gossiping about people here? You're teasing Old Sun!"

"What do you know? Gossip is a form of cultivation! It's how you learn to deal with people!"

"I'm the great Handsome Monkey King, and I'm here eavesdropping on gossip with you?"

"I'm the greatest beauty among the immortals, and I'm here listening to gossip about the great Great Emperor Ziwei with a monkey like you. What do you have to complain about?"

"..."

*

"Wukong, have you learned how to deal with people?"

"Senior Sister, dealing with people is truly so, so, so difficult. I've only got the basics down."

"Then you still haven't learned. Dealing with people isn't hard. No matter which bodhisattva or immortal is backing that demon, just kill it. Your senior sister will always protect you."
