[Journey to the West] Ao Gungun's War Chronicles

Ao Gun, nicknamed Gungun, was the only deep-sea mutated taro plant in the Eastern Sea. The moment he was born, he rolled straight into the Eastern Sea's Infernal Prison and became a trainee yaksha.

As someone who had transmigrated, Ao Gungun boldly innovated, successfully winning over the countless yaksha of the Eastern Sea's Infernal Prison and becoming its master.

After his coronation, Ao Gungun, for the sake of appearances, signed up for the Yaksha Grade C insignia exam, hoping to become a full-time yaksha.

At the exam venue, Ao Gungun received his test assignment. He was transported through the yaksha teleportation array to the Third Holy Mother.

At the time, the Third Holy Mother had been imprisoned beneath Mount Hua for sixteen years.

She had summoned a yaksha through the array to send one to the mortal world and find her son, Liu Chenxiang, to tell him that his uncle was coming, and he had better run!

Under Ao Gungun's management, the Eastern Sea's Infernal Prison had already established a customer-rating system for its "Yaksha Quick Dispatch" service.

Determined to earn a five-star review and pass the Grade C insignia exam, Ao Gungun went all in. Though he risked being instantly killed by Erlang Shen of Guanjiangkou, he thumped his chest and promised the Third Holy Mother, "Yaksha Quick Dispatch. We always deliver!"

When Ao Gungun found Liu Chenxiang, the young boy was huddled in a woodshed at the Liu residence, carefully plotting to assassinate the emperor and get the whole family executed.

The Liu in the Liu residence was the Liu of Liu YanChang, Liu Chenxiang's father.

After the Third Holy Mother was captured, Liu Yanchang quickly married a new bride and gave Liu Chenxiang two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Liu Chenxiang's two brothers were Liu Yanchang's legitimate sons, and his sister was his legitimate daughter. As the eldest son, Liu Chenxiang was an illegitimate child born of an unknown mother and an illicit affair. He wasn't even considered a concubine's son in the Liu household.

Ao Gungun: Well, that's a tough one to judge.

Ao Gungun: "I feel sorry for you, kid, so I'll give you two options."

Liu Chenxiang: "Tell me. I'll choose."

Ao Gungun: "Option one: come with me right now. I'll take you to Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Eastern Continent. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is the only one under heaven bold enough to defy convention over something like this."

Ao Gungun: "Just tell him your uncle has pinned your mother under Mount Hua and you want to split the mountain open to save her. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven will definitely take you as his apprentice and teach you carefully how to stand up to your uncle!"

Ao Gungun: "Option two: stay here and wait for your uncle to show up. Your mother is still alive, yet Liu Yanchang dares to abandon her and take another wife. Your uncle won't let him get away with it!"

Ao Gungun: "This is a scheme to lure a tiger into swallowing a jackal. It's much more worthwhile than assassinating the emperor. Once your uncle has finished off Liu Yanchang, I'll cast a spell and take you away at once. Don't worry, we yaksha are professionals at this. Your safety is guaranteed!"

Ao Gungun: "After that, I'll still take you to Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Eastern Continent to apprentice under the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. In eighteen years, you'll surely be able to save your mother!"

Hearing that he could save his mother, Liu Chenxiang grew incredibly excited. "I choose the first option. How could my mother be left a widow because of Liu Yanchang? Liu Yanchang has to live until my mother is free. I want her to divorce him!"

Liu Chenxiang's filial devotion moved the heavens, and he quickly arranged everything for his father. "After that, I'll submit a petition accusing Liu Yanchang of corruption and embezzlement, and make him pay back every last thing he's taken!"

Ao Gungun was delighted by his client's wisdom and decisiveness. There was no one more despicable than a corrupt official.

Unable to resist, Ao Gungun offered Liu Chenxiang another suggestion: "If you've got what it takes, you could copy your uncle's playbook. Splitting the mountain to save your mother and making a name for yourself is just the first step. After that, go cozy up to your grandmaster, the Tathagata Buddha at Mount Ling, and try to get a position in the Celestial Court, too. You have to show your mother you're no coward!"

Liu Chenxiang was instantly fired up. His eyes widened and his eyes reddened. "Tell my mother that Chenxiang isn't a coward!"

Liu Chenxiang could hardly wait. "Let's go. We're leaving right now. No need to wait until morning!"

Ao Gungun immediately took Liu Chenxiang to the Aolai Kingdom in the Eastern Continent.

The two boys excitedly circled Flower-Fruit Mountain again and again, but never managed to see the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Finally, Ao Gungun had a flash of inspiration and ran to the top of a cliff. There he found the legendary divine stone born of Heaven and Earth.

Ao Gungun: "...Well, maybe we should wait for the Great Sage?" Ugh, television dramas have ruined everything! They could wait for the Great Sage to be born, but could that greedy old official Liu Yanchang wait?

Liu Chenxiang was speechless. So much for "in eighteen years, you'll surely save your mother, get a job in the Celestial Court, make a fortune, and take care of her"! He was going to leave Ao Gungun a bad review!

As everyone knows, taro can reproduce on its own.
