Chapter 119: Husband and Wife's Rift
The big buck-toothed man beamed with joy, his oily face creasing into a wide smile like a chrysanthemum. He bowed repeatedly to Lei Hao and said: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss! I'm also thanking you on behalf of my wife."
Looking at his excited appearance, Lei Hao kicked him lightly with a raised leg and scolded with a smile: "Get out of here quickly, you've got a good deal and still pretend to be arrogant."
He hastily turned around and rushed out of the great hall, leaving his brothers behind. Judging from his appearance, he should be going to report the good news to his wife.
Lei Ya walked out, and all the Lei Wei brothers surrounded him, asking about the battle of Lei Hao's great disturbance in the heavenly palace, Lei Hao smiled and responded one by one.
While wanting to be alone with Leihao for a long time, Wulai saw Jiantou just leaving, and this group of goods without eyesight surrounded him again. He was immediately annoyed, staring at a pair of apricot eyes, leaning in, and lifting his foot to heavily stomp on the back of Leida's foot.
With an excited face, Lei Daniu suddenly felt a pain in the back of his foot. He turned around and saw Wu Lei staring at him with her eyes wide open. After a moment's thought, he understood what Wu Lei meant.
"Brothers, let's take a look at that guy Lao Ya. He hasn't personally taken charge of preparing a banquet since he got married. Now that we've got the head's blessing and have something to eat, we can't let him slack off." Lei Da Niu said loudly, winking at the crowd while secretly pointing at Lei Hao and Wu Lei.
The brothers quickly understood Leida's meaning and shouted loudly, rushing out of the hall like a swarm of bees. They also considerately laid down layers of restrictions at the entrance to prevent any ignorant little monsters from going in and disturbing Lei Hao and Wu Lei.
Lei Hao watched with a mixture of laughter and tears as the group of lovely brothers left, he wasn't blind, so he had naturally seen Lei Da Niu's small movements in secret just now.
After Le Wei's brothers left, the hall was only left with Le Hao and Xiao Hu Li. The hall that had just been noisy suddenly became quiet.
"Husband." Tearlessly, she gazed at Lei Hao with a deep sense of resentment and softly called out.
Lei Hao's eyes were fixed on Wu Lei, and his heart suddenly ached. He took two steps forward, gently embracing Wu Lei, and softly said: "Wu Lei, I'm back, aren't I?"
She buried her head gently in Leihao's arms, listening to his low and powerful heartbeat, suddenly feeling incredibly fulfilled, her heart was full, the dissatisfaction of being abandoned by Leihao in the water cave and fighting alone outside for years dissipated.
Two people quietly hugged each other, a warm feeling slowly rose up.
After a long time, Wu Lei suddenly spoke up in a low voice: "Husband, now even the little wolf teeth are about to have small wolf teeth, when will we also have one?" Wu Lei's voice was somewhat shy and expectant. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lei Hao's heartbeat suddenly speed up by several beats.
Lei Hao's eyes glazed over for a moment after hearing this, and he suddenly felt an unusual sensation in his heart. He had lived two lifetimes, never even getting married, let alone becoming a father, and hadn't even considered it before. At that moment, when Wu Lei spoke up, he suddenly felt a little bewildered, a little frightened, and also a thread of joy. He lowered his head and stared blankly at Wu Lei, as if seeing the little guy who would call him "Dad" with a lisp.
Lei Hao was about to agree, but the words had not yet left his mouth when he swallowed them back. At this time, his brother Sun Wukong was still suffering under the Five Elements Mountain, waiting for him was a fate of unparalleled humiliation, how could he be so careless and get married and have children at this time? Moreover, the aftermath of the two wars in Huaguo Mountain and one war in Heaven left too many hidden dangers, it's possible that the enemy family would come knocking on the door at any time, how could he get married and have children in such a turbulent situation?
So the top priority is still to improve his strength. Last time, he was severely injured by a single glance from Tathagata Buddha. If it weren't for the luck of having Bull Demon King's protection, he would have lost his life and not even a hair would be left! However, good fortune can't always follow him, and if he loses again in the future, he might end up with a disastrous outcome of losing everything.
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Hao finally spoke up: "Alright, let's wait for the dead monkey to return to the mountain, and then we'll hold a grand wedding ceremony. We'll invite all our brothers to come and have a good time." Looking at the small face lifted up, looking at him with unbridled expectation, Lei Hao couldn't bear to refuse, so he said as much.
As soon as Wu Lei heard Lei Hao's response, her face lit up with joy and she almost jumped out of his arms. When she heard that they would have to wait for Wukong to return, she didn't raise any objections. In her heart, Wukong was just a younger brother who had always been there. However, when Lei Hao mentioned inviting all the brothers to join in the fun, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes. But she still didn't say anything, having long grown accustomed to following Lei Hao's lead. She simply nodded lightly with her head bowed in his arms.
Lei Hao saw Wu Lei nodding without a word, so he just assumed she agreed and let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart, not thinking much about it. He had long been used to Wu Lei listening to him for everything, so he rarely tried to understand what was going on in her mind.
It was precisely because both of them had long been accustomed to it that a subtle crack appeared between the two without either of them noticing.
For the next three days, Lei Hao was drunk to the point of being incoherent, unable to distinguish between day and night. Originally, with Lei Hao's current physical strength, even if he drank tens of tons of alcohol in one breath, he wouldn't feel a hint of intoxication.
But as the saying goes, a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, and two fists can't defeat four hands! Lei Hao is capable of drinking, but he also can't withstand the many demons in Shuixindong.
Lei Wei, Lei Zi Jun and a group of old brothers under Lei Hao's command were well aware of his temperament. So every time there was a grand feast in the mountains, they would charge towards Lei Hao with their wine cups, regardless of rank or life and death. But if it were just them, Lei Hao could still pat his chest and say he could handle it.
But at this time, the Water Cavern is not only occupied by Lei Wei and Lei Zi Jun, but also all the monkeys from the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits! Moreover, they are led by Sun Wukong, the wine-loving king, who has a troop of monkeys that won't be happy without drinking.
Lei Hao couldn't remember which drunken monkey was swaying back and forth, carrying a wine jug to toast him! At that time, Lei Hao didn't think much of it, originally he didn't have any airs about his own little demon, so when he saw the monkey from Huaguo Mountain come to toast him, he was happy that Kengyuan Mountain and Huaguo Mountain's two groups of little demons were getting along without any distance between them, and with great joy, he tilted his head back and drank the whole jug in one gulp.
For the next two days, Lei Hao regretted accepting that monkey's wine jug every moment! If heaven could give Lei Hao a chance to turn back time to when the monkey came to toast him, he would definitely say two words to the monkey: "Get out."
He's just poured a barrel of oil on the fire! He's clearly poked a beehive full of drunken killers!
All the monkeys were also drinking with gusto, but when they saw Lei Hao take over the wine jug, all the monkeys stopped their movements and stared at Lei Hao with wide eyes as he drank it all in one gulp. The concept of hierarchy was deeply ingrained in the minds of the demon tribe, and although Sun Wukong had been very friendly to the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain before, he had never drunk with them together. It was unheard of for a big demon like Lei Hao, who shook the three realms, to drink with a small demon from Huaguo Mountain, and they were as surprised as if they had discovered a new continent.
How many monkeys were supported by the vast Flower Fruit Mountain, Lei Hao didn't know, he only knew that there were a lot! But now he can say very clearly that there are more than 50,000 monkeys on the Flower Fruit Mountain! More than 50,000 monkeys! Just like a neat queue, as soon as Lei Hao put down his wine jar, a furry monkey hand would pass over a jar of wine. Even though Lei Hao felt a little apprehensive looking at the dense crowd of monkeys, for the sake of his great king's prestige, how could he say half a word of refusal?
So in the following two days, Lei Hao only did three things: put down the wine jar, pick up the wine jar, and drink.
He had no idea how much Lei Hao he had drunk, he just felt his stomach was bloated terribly. After all, although he is now in human form, his physical body is a genuine demon body! With Lei Hao's current Golden Immortal cultivation, how big is his true body? Several hundred feet must be there, and with such a large belly, he even feels some discomfort!
After the three-day grand feast ended, Lei Hao plunged into his bedroom and slept for a whole day.
Several days later, Lei Hao finally woke up. He walked out of the bedroom with a refreshed spirit, but before he had taken several steps, he saw Wu Lei walking towards him with his head hung low.
Lei Hao looked at Wu Lei and felt that she was somewhat listless, just as he was about to call out to her, he saw her walking straight towards him, as if she hadn't seen him.
"Husband, you're awake." Wu Lei rushed into Lei Hao's arms, only to find that he was already awake. She lifted her head and exclaimed in surprise.
Lei Hao stretched out his hand and rubbed the soft little head, laughing: "What are you thinking about? You only realized I was awake after you'd already snuggled into my arms?"
A faint hint of desolation flashed in his tearless eyes before he forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking when Wukong will return to the mountain."
Lei Hao heard this and suddenly burst out laughing with a narrow, awkward smile: "So my Tears is in a hurry to marry me and have little Lei Haos, Little Tears are gone."
Wú lèi bèi léi háo dǎ qù dé hài xiū le, liǎn shàng fú qǐ yī mǒu yān hóng de dī xià le tóu.
Translation: Wu Lei was teased by Lei Hao and became shy, a faint red blush appeared on his face as he lowered his head.
Lei Hao paused for a moment, then continued: "The dead monkey is now entangled in some mundane affairs and can't get away. It may take hundreds of years before he returns to the mountain!" Lei Hao was well aware of Wu Lei's feelings towards Sun Wukong, which were like those towards her own brother, so she didn't tell her that Sun Wukong was currently being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, fearing she would worry.
But Lei Hao didn't know that after listening to Wu Lei's words, her face quickly lost its rosy complexion and turned pale, with a hint of tears in her eyes. However, she still said nothing, only flashing a faint red glow in her eyes, evaporating the tears.
When she lifted her head again, her tearless face had regained its usual smiling appearance.
(Brothers, you've been remembering and thinking that the little fox who came was redundant. Is it only now that you realize that my previous writing style had foreshadowing? Foreshadowing is sometimes not just one sentence!)
