Chapter 28 The West Sea Dragon Princess and Monkey Brother: “Old Sun Has Come to Borrow Weapons!”
While the Yellow Wind King was pondering, the little carp, full of innocence, spoke up, “Old Yellow, if you want to build a palace, why don’t you ask ‘Ghost Axe and Divine Chisel’ for help?”
“Ghost Axe and Divine Chisel? Can’t afford them.”
The Yellow Wind King rolled his eyes. Ghost Axe and Divine Chisel were two celestial deities in the Heavenly Court, leading a team of craftsmen responsible for constructing celestial palaces and temples. If the Jade Emperor issued a decree, the materials and costs would be covered by the treasury.
For example, when Sun Wukong was granted the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven, his mansion in the celestial realm was built by them. However, if a deity wanted to hire them privately, they would not only need to provide materials and cover the costs but also offer a substantial amount of merit and incense offerings.
Ever heard the saying, “It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away?”
If you refuse to be reasonable, let me remind you—our craftsmen also know how to use hammers! Big hammers weigh eighty, small ones forty!
Moreover, the Ghost Axe and Divine Chisel division also forged weapons, armor, and military supplies for the celestial soldiers. They were the ultimate logistics overlords.
Even the mighty Thunder Division had to show them respect—offending the logistics team was never a wise move. If trouble arose, a single word from them could summon reinforcements from the Thunder Division, Fire Division, and others, ready to punish the disrespectful.
The little carp, unconcerned, said, “It’s just money, right? I have plenty!”
The Yellow Wind King was stunned.
“I’m not talking about ordinary gold and silver. I mean spiritual treasures, merit coins, and incense offerings.”
The bronze coin that Bai Huizi had given him before leaving was a merit coin—it could dispel disasters and even summon deities.
The little carp asked, “Do pearls and corals count? My family has lots of those!”
Wait a moment!
The Yellow Wind King’s eyes shifted.
“Are you talking about your old home or your new one?”
“My old home, of course! The new one was just set up. I
“I need to compensate him and the mining demons properly—we can’t have them working for free, can we?”
Sun Wukong nodded.
“That makes sense. People and demons alike are driven by profit. If you offer them something in return, they’ll work harder.”
