Chapter 17

"Damn it! You bastard!" Xiaowukong angrily jumped off the car and got into an attack stance.

"Oh? Do you want to fight me? You should be careful, or you'll turn into a carrot if I touch you~" The rabbit teased Xiaowukong.

"Damn it!" Xiaowukong felt helpless.

"Wukong, hit him with the staff." At this moment, Jingtian's voice came from the side.

"Right." Xiaowukong's eyes lit up. He took the staff from his back and swung it down with all his might.

!!! The rabbit quickly jumped to the side to avoid it and anxiously shouted at Xiaowukong, "Stop! Don't you want that woman to recover?"

Hearing the rabbit's words, Xiaowukong paused his swing halfway, stopped his attack, and turned to look at Jingtian.

Jingtian shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a helpless expression, "Hit him first!"

"Okay!" Xiaowukong grinned and swung his staff again, aiming at the rabbit in the distance. As the staff descended, it suddenly extended and hit the rabbit, who was caught off guard and hadn't reacted in time.

Seeing the rabbit crouching on the ground, holding his head and crying in pain, Jingtian made Bulma, who was still a carrot, float in the air and said to the rabbit, "Change back now, or I'll have Wukong continue beating you."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it right away." Hearing Jingtian's threat and seeing Xiaowukong shaking his staff, the rabbit had to stand up despite the pain, looked at the carrot, changed a few poses, and said, "Hey," as he clapped his hands.

With the sound of the clap, the floating carrot turned back into Bulma.

Amidst Bulma's confusion, "What's wrong with me?" Jingtian caught her as she fell from the sky.

After listening to Jingtian's explanation, Bulma angrily kicked the bound Rabbit Corps. Then, amidst the praises of the grateful townspeople who had gathered to thank them, she handed the Rabbit Corps over to the police who had arrived.

Seeing this, Jingtian thought, "That's right, in the original story, Xiaowukong actually sent the Rabbit Corps to the moon with the Golden Staff, which is too exaggerated."

After receiving a lot of food from the townspeople as a thank you to Xiaowukong, the four of them continued their journey in the car.

After leaving the town and hearing Bulma's complaints while hugging his arm, Jingtian smiled mysteriously and said to Bulma, "Alright, stop complaining. How about this: close your eyes, and I'll give you a gift?"

"Really? What gift?" Bulma asked excitedly and impatiently.

"Close your eyes first, and you'll see."

Bulma immediately closed her eyes, thinking, "What will Jingtian give me? Oh, never mind, whatever Jingtian gives me, I'll treasure it. This is the first gift from Jingtian~"

Then Bulma seemed to think of something, her face turned red, and she muttered, "Oh~ No way, is Jingtian going to kiss me secretly? Oh~ So embarrassing~ Hehe~"

Unaware of Bulma's wandering thoughts, Jingtian took out the jade necklace from his pocket, held it in his hand, and said to Bulma, "You can open your eyes now."

Feeling a bit disappointed that she wasn't kissed, Bulma quickly opened her eyes and saw the jade necklace in Jingtian's hand.

Although her family was very wealthy, this world didn't have jade. So, when she saw it, Bulma was immediately captivated by the bright green color of the jade.

She carefully took it from Jingtian, held it in both hands, and admired it for a moment before turning to Jingtian with a puzzled look, "What kind of gem is this? I've never seen such a beautiful gem, it's much prettier than the green gems at home."

Jingtian, slightly depressed by Bulma's comment about the green gems at home, calmed himself and explained, "This is a gem unique to my hometown, called jade. Do you like it?"

"Like~" Bulma happily wrapped her arms around Jingtian's neck and kissed his cheek. After letting go, she looked at Jingtian expectantly, "Can you put it on for me?"

"Of course~" Jingtian happily agreed, took the necklace from Bulma, and Bulma turned around, lifting her ponytail to expose her smooth, delicate neck.

Seeing Bulma's smooth, delicate skin, Jingtian was momentarily stunned but gently put the jade necklace around her neck.

When Jingtian said, "Done," Bulma let down her hair, sat back, and eagerly asked, "How does it look? Is it pretty?"

"Yep, it suits you very well, it's very pretty~" Jingtian naturally flattered her.

"Hehe~" Satisfied with the answer, Bulma happily held Jingtian's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and occasionally picked up the necklace, smiling happily.

Seeing this, Jingtian could only sigh helplessly in his heart, "Women..."

The journey was uneventful. Bulma, feeling a bit tired, was sleeping on the back seat, resting her head on Jingtian's lap. Xiaowukong, who had eaten, was also sleeping. With nothing to do, Jingtian used his spiritual energy to continuously stimulate his muscles for exercise.

Just as Jingtian was getting into the rhythm, a missile flew from the side of the car and exploded upon impact.

Startled, Jingtian instinctively expanded his mental shield to cover the four of them and flew out with the disintegrating car.

"What happened? What's going on?" Bulma, who had been woken up, asked in surprise.

Before Jingtian could answer, a mecha flew out from the nearby mushroom forest. When Jingtian saw the mecha, he subconsciously thought of Iron Man's suit and was distracted. The mecha picked up the black leather case containing the Dragon Balls from the wrecked car.

"Ah! My Dragon Balls!" Bulma's scream woke up Jingtian and Xiaowukong, who had finally come to his senses.

"Wukong, quickly go and get the Dragon Balls back." Bulma instinctively ignored Jingtian and turned to shout at Wukong.

"Okay." Wukong quickly pulled out the Golden Staff from his back.

Before Wukong could get into an attack stance, the mecha raised its right arm, and a machine gun port appeared. Without a word, it fired a burst of bullets.

Seeing the bullets coming, Jingtian's eyes narrowed. This was another difference from the manga; in the original, the mecha just threatened Bulma and flew away, but now it attacked directly.

Abandoning his plan to watch, Jingtian set up a mental barrier in front of the four of them. As Bulma screamed and jumped into Jingtian's arms and Wukong crouched down and screamed, the bullets flying towards them stopped in mid-air.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the mecha didn't hesitate and quickly flew away.
