Chapter 20

Jing Tian was startled back to his senses by Bulma, looked at her, and then raised his head to gaze at the majestic figure of Shenlong. After a moment of thought, he said, "Shenlong, do you know about Majin Buu?"

"..." Shenlong was silent for a moment, then moved his head and said to Jing Tian, "I know now..."

"Can I obtain Majin Buu's abilities without changing my body?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Shenlong, who had clearly just learned everything about Majin Buu, refused Jing Tian's wish without hesitation...

"Is that so..." Jing Tian thought for a moment and continued, "Then can I have Majin Buu's super learning ability? Is that possible?"

"..." Shenlong was silent for a moment, then said, "Your wish has been granted. Farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shenlong's figure suddenly disappeared, and the Dragon Balls on the ground quickly flew into the sky. After a brief pause, the seven Dragon Balls scattered in seven different directions, turning into streaks of light and vanishing.

Watching the Dragon Balls scatter and disappear, Jing Tian didn't use his divine sense to track them. After all, this was part of Little Goku's future training. Jing Tian didn't want to cause any accidents for Little Goku because of his actions, as this world had faced several crises that only Little Goku could resolve.

"Who is Majin Buu?" Bulma asked Jing Tian, puzzled after seeing the Dragon Balls disappear.

"Majin Buu..." Jing Tian thought for a moment and said to Bulma, "In short, he's a very, very powerful character. We don't need to worry about that now."

Bulma didn't take Jing Tian's vague answer to heart and asked, "Jing Tian, didn't you want to wish for control abilities? Why did you change it to super learning abilities?"

"Hehe..." Jing Tian smiled lightly and pinched Bulma's smooth cheek gently, saying, "Since my girlfriend is a great inventor, as her boyfriend, I should also have plenty of knowledge. Besides, the super learning ability allows me to learn martial arts and science instantly. This ability is perfect for me right now."

Hearing that Jing Tian was learning for her, Bulma felt very happy and hugged Jing Tian, giving him a kiss, "Jing Tian, you're so nice~"

"Haha, of course," Jing Tian said without any modesty.

The two chatted affectionately as they walked back to where Little Goku and the others were sleeping, waking them up one by one. After Bulma's explanation, everyone accepted the regret of not seeing Shenlong.

"What? The Dragon Balls flew away? Then the heirloom my grandfather left me is gone too?" Little Goku asked Bulma anxiously.

"I'm sorry, that's the case. But you can use my Dragon Radar to find them again next year," Bulma replied.

"No, I want to go now," Little Goku clearly couldn't wait.

"You won't be able to find them now," Bulma explained. "After Shenlong grants a wish, the seven balls must remain as ordinary stones for at least a year before they can turn back into Dragon Balls. There's no way to find them within a year."

"Ah~ It takes a year..." Little Goku and Krillin said in dismay.

Jing Tian glanced at Krillin and said, "Krillin, you want the Dragon Balls too?"

Krillin was startled. After some thought, he decided there was no harm in it and explained his wish to become fearless around women and to find a wife and get married.

Amidst Bulma and Oolong's gleeful laughter, Jing Tian said, "Actually, I recommend you live in the city. Once you see more, you won't be so afraid anymore."

Krillin thought about it and agreed.

Afterward, everyone learned that Jing Tian had tied the three bandits in the castle and that they hadn't come to seek revenge. They left in two cars, heading toward the city.

In the evening, they built a fire and grilled the food Little Goku had just hunted, chatting happily.

At this moment, Oolong asked the floating Puar, "Puar, what are you doing?"

"Admiring the moon~" Puar said.

"You're in a good mood, what's so special about the moon?" Oolong said, uninterested.

"It's a full moon tonight, and it's very beautiful," Puar explained.

"Full moon?" Little Goku asked, puzzled. Then he said seriously to everyone, "After a full moon, a terrible monster appears."

"Are you talking about werewolves?" Bulma asked, puzzled.

"No, but my grandfather died after encountering that terrible monster."

"Even the mighty Goku was killed, that monster must be very powerful," Krillin said, impressed by Little Goku's words.

"Indeed, houses and trees were destroyed," Goku said, using his hands to emphasize his words.

"What does the monster look like?" Oolong asked Little Goku, puzzled.

"I don't know, I was sleeping and didn't see it."

"You're amazing, the house was destroyed and you still slept. Your reaction is really slow," Oolong said, speechless.

"My grandfather often told me not to look at the full moon... But I don't think it's a big deal to look. I wonder if there are any monsters on a full moon night here..."

"Ah? What are you all doing?" Little Goku looked at everyone, including Krillin, who had shrunk behind Jing Tian, and asked, puzzled.

"Could it be..." Krillin said, trembling slightly.

"Can I ask a question? On the night your grandfather was killed, did you look at the moon?" Bulma, crouched behind Jing Tian, asked Little Goku with a strange tone.

"Hehe..." Little Goku scratched the back of his head and said, embarrassed, "Although Grandpa didn't allow it, I couldn't help but look when I went out to pee."

Bulma and Krillin looked at each other, and then Bulma gently pushed Jing Tian's back, who was still sitting on the ground.

"I've always felt he's not an ordinary child, but... I didn't expect... It can't be, it must be a coincidence," Krillin muttered to himself, though his trembling legs betrayed his fear.

"Huh? What are you all talking about?" Little Goku, seeing everyone huddled behind Jing Tian, asked, puzzled.

"Should we let him look at the moon and see what happens?" Oolong suggested, heartlessly.

"You're right, but if it's true, it could be troublesome," Bulma said.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Jing Tian said nonchalantly while finishing his food.

Jing Tian didn't really care much, and he had been using his divine sense to control muscle training, so he was often in a state of energy deficiency. Knowing the situation, he clearly chose the food over Little Goku.

Hearing Jing Tian's reassurance, Bulma felt a bit more at ease, but still felt uneasy. She pointed at the moon and said to Goku, "Goku, don't look at the moon."

As Bulma finished speaking, Little Goku reflexively turned his head to look at the full moon in the sky...
