Fairy Chang'e, as always, walked to the deepest part of the library and found it bustling as usual.

A group of elders surrounded Sun Wukong, chattering about something.

Of course, she didn't know that was Sun Wukong.

"Here we go again."

Thinking this, Fairy Chang'e still sat down not far away and perked up her ears to listen.

"Master, we've asked so many questions, you should answer a few for us!"

The elders employed a challenging tone: "Could it be that you can't answer even one?"

Sun Wukong shifted his gaze from the Heavenly Book and sighed, "What questions?"

He hadn't been listening to what these people were asking at all.

"Why don't the demons of Wanling Country pursue Immortal Cultivation but struggle as they do?"

Someone immediately asked.

"What is the purpose of Immortal Cultivation?"

Sun Wukong put down the Heavenly Book and counter-asked them.

"Naturally, it's for freedom and ease, free from worries about food and drink, living a joyful life."

An elder answered.

"Is it quicker to resolve worries through Immortal Cultivation, or by relying on one's own hands in Wanling Country?"

Sun Wukong asked again.

The elders all paused, furrowing their brows in thought.

Before they could come up with an answer, Sun Wukong questioned again, "How many demons in the world can transform into immortals?"

With his casual remarks, he left the elders speechless.

"The Master indeed knows some truths."

They said, somewhat grudgingly.

"This is common sense, even children on the streets know it."

Sun Wukong said, "How can you ask such questions?"

Chang'e couldn't help but chuckle softly, mocking that the elders were even less knowledgeable than children.

These elders were scholars from nearby countries who had been studying technology in the library for years, always trying to outdo one another.

Years ago, many had invited Sun Wukong to give lectures in Mountain and Sea City. The old scholars, feeling irked, would often come to him with profound questions.

Ostensibly seeking advice, but in reality trying to irk him.

However, over the years, Sun Wukong had never been bested.

Today, being chided like this, the elders felt even more reluctant.

"How should those immortals explain then?"

They continued to ask, "They have achieved immortal bodies and are naturally free and easy, why do they also struggle so hard?"

"Immortals are different from demons."

Sun Wukong took another Heavenly Book from the shelf, flipped through it, and said:

"Immortals here create new technologies and Spiritual Objects, taking pride in their achievements. Their efforts earn the respect and adoration of Wanling, which makes them happier than mere freedom and ease."

Having said this, he immersed himself in the Heavenly Book again, ignoring the elders further.

The elders looked at each other, wanting to refute Sun Wukong's words but could find no reasoning.

They shook their heads and could only leave helplessly.

Sun Wukong, unaffected, continued reading attentively. Wanling City compiled any technological advancements into Heavenly Books, so he never worried about running out of books to read.

Fairy Chang'e curiously eyed him. She found him interesting and wanted to make friends with him.

But this man was a loner. Even though they had read together for many days, he never greeted her. It would be embarrassing for her to greet him first.

Suddenly, she got an idea and quietly used an Immortal Law, causing a small object to fall at Sun Wukong's feet.

"He'll notice it and probably pick it up for me," thought Fairy Chang'e.

Sun Wukong indeed noticed it, but after glancing at the object on the ground, he moved his eyes away and continued reading.

"Fairy really is idle."

He thought to himself.

Fairy Chang'e might be the idlest of all fairies, while other fairies are actively involved in teaching and various performances in Mountain and Sea City, only Chang'e visits here every day.

It wasn't just about reading books; she also occasionally meddled in trivial matters.

Should he find her something else to do?

Sun Wukong thought about it, but still didn't bother her.

After a long time, a figure came over.

"I dropped something here."

The voice said.

Sun Wukong glanced at her and then stepped aside.

"Is this guy not going to pay me any mind?"

Fairy Chang'e felt helpless, as it turned out that she had to approach him proactively.

But since she approached, she couldn't miss the opportunity.

"This is a Ginseng Fruit Doll newly released by Mountain and Sea City."

Fairy Chang'e picked up the ornament from the ground and said, "It is said that the Great King personally ordered its creation; the reason why remains unknown."

Sun Wukong did not respond.

In Mountain and Sea City, the Dragon Car was still led by a statue of Daji, just as he had originally envisioned; Daji's charm was boundless, contributing to the popularity of even the Ginseng Fruit Doll ornament.

"You just mentioned that Immortals feel joy in creating new techniques and Spiritual Objects."

Fairy Chang'e asked, "What about the fairies of the Moon Palace? They do not engage in creation, so why are they still around?"

Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brow: "What brings joy and happiness to people is not only material."

The fairies of the Moon Palace are significant for Wanling City not due to creation.

They are an important cradle of art.

Sun Wukong was fully aware that for a civilization to thrive, art is essential.

He established Miao Yin Square for this reason; lately, the fairies had been showcasing their talents there.

"The fairies teach and educate, display their talents, and that's sufficient."

Sun Wukong said, "They are also valuable talents."

Fairy Chang'e opened the topic, eager to talk more with him, but Sun Wukong felt he had already wasted too much breath and didn't engage much with her, so she turned and left.

"This guy is really antisocial."

Fairy Chang'e couldn't help thinking.

She had just walked out of the library when suddenly a piece of paper flew towards her.

Fairy Chang'e caught it.

"What is this?"

She saw her own portrait on the paper.

"That's mine."

A young boy ran over hurriedly and took the portrait from her hand.

"This is a poster of Fairy Chang'e; she's going to perform at Miao Yin Square."

The boy said.

Posters were a new thing that appeared recently, said to be created by Sun Wukong for promoting Daji, but occasionally, fairies like Chang'e also enjoyed such a privilege.

"I forgot there was a performance today."

Fairy Chang'e then remembered.

She watched the boy and his companion walked away.

"Fairy Chang'e's dance is the most beautiful."

"I've been wanting to see it."

The two young kids chatted as they left.

Listening to their words, Fairy Chang'e felt she was doing something very significant.

"He's right."

Fairy Chang'e looked back at the depths of the library and then headed towards Mountain and Sea City.

Wanling Country could bring them joy.

In this nation, their dances no longer existed for a select few but now brought smiles to everyone.

"Maybe I shouldn't slack off anymore."

Fairy Chang'e thought to herself.

Inside the library, Sun Wukong put away his magic hand.

"I hope she will be more dedicated to her work from now on."

He thought to himself.
