[Journey to the West] Cool Shade Beneath the Loquat Tree

P.S.

[Before You Read]

◇ The author talks a lot and is a bit unhinged. This story may contain anything from landmines to bizarre plot twists, so if that's not your thing, enter at your own risk.

◇ This is based on the 1999 Journey to the West animated series, with its Monkey King. The heroine is a bit of a blockhead, and it's mostly her pursuing him, but it won't be as easy as "there's only a thin veil between them."

◇ Please don't offer malicious criticism.

Yanhua is a loquat tree spirit who lives on Flower-Fruit Mountain. She's a kind and harmless little monster. Her only flaw is that she never bears fruit.

After years of painstaking cultivation, she finally managed to take human form. But she hadn't taken more than a few steps before a bunch of monkeys tied her up and dragged her off to meet their king.

And so Yanhua fell for a monkey at first sight, and it cost her a lifetime.

The Handsome Monkey King, still innocent and carefree at the time, looked up at Yanhua as the monkeys hauled her over. After hearing what had happened, he swung his legs and laughed.

"Since you're a spirit from Flower-Fruit Mountain, then you can take my surname, Sun, too."

Yanhua: ...The name Sun Yanhua doesn't sound very nice.

And so, this thoughtless refusal by a blockhead would cost her dearly in the years to come.

Five hundred years later, she hurried over and burst into tears before Sun Xingzhe, who had grown ever more clever.

Yanhua: Brother Monkey! Dear Brother Monkey! Please let me take your surname, Sun!

Sun Wukong: (Resting his chin on his hand) Oh? The threshold to the Old Sun family isn't so easy to cross.

This is the story of a blockhead who chases after a monkey and ends up giving herself away.

A fanfic based on the 1999 Journey to the West, featuring its Monkey King. The 1999 Monkey King is the best, and he's just too adorable. _(:з"∠)_
