Chapter 143 was sent out, then sent back.
Two days later, Sun Wukong finally found a family that satisfied Chen Yixin.
The family's surname was Mu. The male head of the household, Mu Yuan, was a fierce general of the Kingdom of Biqiu. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured when he was young, which made him unable to have children. Therefore, the Mu couple were over forty years old and still had no children.
When the couple learned that the holy monk wanted to give them a child to raise, they were overjoyed and eagerly waited at the door.
When Chen Yi and Sun Wukong arrived at the Mu family's house, Chen Yi quickly bowed and greeted the couple.
"Lord Mu, Madam Mu, are you well?"
Kihara nodded slightly and replied, "I'm well."
Madam Mu gazed at the little bundle in Chen Yi's arms, her eyes instantly drawn to it, unable to look away.
Madam Mu exclaimed in surprise, "This must be Little Eleven! She's so beautiful."
Chen Yi nodded and smiled, replying, "It is indeed Little Eleven."
After saying that, he gently handed Eleven over to them, wanting them to get closer, since Madam Mu would be Eleven's mother in the future.
Eleven, like a docile little lamb, lay quietly in Madam Mu's arms, showing Chen Yi an innocent smile, mistakenly thinking that Chen Yi was taking him to visit someone's house.
Previously, Chen Yi often took him out for walks, and many strangers had held him because they thought he was cute. So Xiao Shiyi thought it would be the same today. After being held for a while, he would be able to go home with Chen Yi.
Chen Yi looked at the well-behaved Eleven, and his eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.
"Lord Mu, Madam Mu, Eleven is very well-behaved and does not require much care. I hope you will treat him well in the future."
Kihara said confidently, "Holy Monk, rest assured, after Eleven, he will be the only heir of my Kihara family."
Madam Mu echoed, "We will definitely treat Eleven as our own son."
Chen Yi: "Then I'll have to trouble you two."
After Eleven fell asleep peacefully in Madam Mu's arms, Chen Yi bid farewell to the couple and turned to the person beside him, saying, "Great Sage, let's go."
Hearing Chen Yi's slightly choked voice, Sun Wukong gently patted his shoulder and said softly, "Okay."
After seeing off Shi Yi, Chen Yi and his group packed their bags and continued their long journey westward.
……
Two days later.
"Big Brother, Little Master seems very sad," Pigsy said to Monkey.
Sun Wukong: "Do you need to tell me?"
Since being sent away on November 11th, the little monk has never smiled again.
Sha Wujing sighed, "After all, we've raised Eleven for so long, it's normal to be reluctant to part with it. It will get better with time."
Seeing that Chen Yi was absent-minded all day, Jiang Liuer couldn't bear it, so he said to Chen Yi, "Brother Chen, if you can't bear to part with Eleven, we can take him with us."
Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I'm fine."
"I'm just not used to it yet, but I'll get used to it in a few days."
After all, the child has already been sent away. If we ask for the child back now, wouldn't that be going back on our word and breaking our promise?
Sure enough, the storm passed in a few days, because three days later, Kihara, like a whirlwind, caught up with them at full speed with Eleven.
Upon seeing Kihara's sudden appearance, the group was stunned into silence.
Chen Yi, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Eleven, whose eyes were swollen and red like walnuts, in Mu Yuan's arms, and rushed over in one stride.
"Wow wow wow..."
As soon as she fell into Chen Yi's arms, Eleven burst into tears of grievance, like a flood bursting its banks.
Chen Yi immediately panicked and hurriedly tried to comfort him, "Oh dear! Little darling! Don't cry, what's wrong?"
Sun Wukong asked in a deep voice, "Lord Mu, what exactly is going on?"
With a helpless expression, Mu Yuan sighed, "Holy Monk, our Mu family is truly unable to raise this child, so we have no choice but to return him to you."
Chen Yi had finally managed to appease Eleven, but upon hearing what Kihara said, he frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
Kihara explained with a wry smile, "Ever since the child woke up and couldn't find you two, he has been crying incessantly. No matter how we try to comfort him, he shows no sign of stopping."
“He fainted several times from crying, and we were really worried that his health couldn’t take it, so my wife and I decided to return the child to you.”
“You wouldn’t believe it, the moment I told him I was bringing him to you, he immediately stopped crying. It’s amazing.”
"This child has no affinity with our Mu family, but he has a deep connection with you, Holy Monk."
Chen Yi looked down at Eleven, who was clutching his clothes tightly, pouting, with tears welling in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry but couldn't. His heart softened completely.
Sun Wukong bowed to Mu Yuan and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Lord Mu, for returning the child."
Kihara waved his hands repeatedly, saying modestly, "Oh, Holy Monk, please don't be so polite. This is what we should do."
If it weren't for the holy monk, their kingdom of Bhikkhu would probably still be overrun by monsters.
After Kihara left, Chen Yi pounced on Eleven like a hungry tiger, kissing and hugging her, and soon successfully made Eleven laugh so hard she was doubled over.
"Giggle cluck..."
Eleven's silvery laughter was like heavenly music, making everyone in the group laugh involuntarily.
Pigsy: "Hahaha... It's so great to be back for the National Day holiday. The journey will definitely be even more lively."
Sha Wujing: "I'll stew a chicken for Eleven later, I see he's gotten thinner."
Since Chen Yi started raising poultry and livestock, apart from Jiang Liuer and Sha Wujing, the other three have broken their vows to eat meat. Therefore, Sha Wujing occasionally cooks some meat dishes.
Jiang Liuer: Apart from Wujing... I can't control the other two at all, so let them be.
When Pigsy heard that Sandy wanted to stew a chicken, he was overjoyed: "Brother Sandy, I'll kill the chicken for you!"
Although Sha Wujing can cook meat dishes, it is Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie who do the killing of chickens and sheep.
As he spoke, Pigsy looked at Chen Yi with great delight: "Little Master, one chicken isn't enough, let's kill three?"
Chen Yi was in a good mood today and answered without hesitation, "Okay, let's kill five today."
With Pigsy's appetite, three chickens definitely wouldn't be enough to fill his teeth.
To his surprise, there were two more than he had expected. Pigsy was overjoyed and immediately kissed Eleven's face several times.
"Little Eleven, your Uncle Pig is really benefiting from your help today."
"Eeya~ No~"
Little Eleven pouted, like a wronged kitten, and raised her little hand to wipe the drool off her face.
That disgusted little face made everyone burst into laughter.
