Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan were discussing the Tao in the forest.

He suddenly felt something and turned his gaze toward the seaside.

"That is Hidden Dragon Energy."

Immortal Zhenyuan glanced at the seaside and immediately understood the reason, "Dear brother, that Human King has sent his Crown Prince over."

Sun Wukong nodded, reached out his hand, and a letter flew over from the seaside.

He spread the letter out on the ground, and it turned out to be a personal letter from Liu Heng.

This Emperor of the Han Dynasty, when he was serving as a prince, had four sons with the wife of the King of Dai, who later all passed away one after another.

After Liu Heng ascended the throne, he established the current Crown Prince. In recent years, he felt rather moved, thinking it better for the Crown Prince to study at Huaguo Mountain than in Chang'an. So, he specially offered gold and silver treasures, requesting Sun Wukong to take extra care of him.

"Dear brother should not agree to this."

Immortal Zhenyuan finished reading the letter and said to Sun Wukong, "Interfering too much with the Han Dynasty might bring trouble to Huaguo Mountain."

Sun Wukong pondered for a moment.

"It's okay."

He used a thousand-mile sound transmission to let Zhang Liang handle the matter.

"I will not interfere in the Human King's governance."

Sun Wukong said to Immortal Zhenyuan, "The Crown Prince staying at Huaguo Mountain for a few years won't cause any trouble."

The Han Dynasty Crown Prince coming to Huaguo Mountain to study would benefit the Southern Continent greatly, and a little trouble was nothing.

After giving instructions to Zhang Liang, Sun Wukong set the matter aside and continued to discuss the Tao with Immortal Zhenyuan.

Meanwhile, at the port, Zhang Liang received Sun Wukong's thousand-mile sound transmission and rushed to greet the Han Dynasty Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince's name was Liu Qi, and Zhang Liang had heard before that his nature was different from his father's, being rather fierce. Before meeting him, Zhang Liang was a bit worried.

However, upon meeting, Liu Qi respectfully bowed to Zhang Liang.

"Sir."

This attitude made Zhang Liang internally let out a sigh of relief.

This Crown Prince at least knew he could not be too arrogant at Huaguo Mountain.

What Zhang Liang didn't know was that Liu Qi had been intimidated by Sun Wukong.

The Han Emperor's letter, which was supposed to be in Liu Qi's embrace, inexplicably flew out upon approaching Huaguo Mountain, and Liu Qi couldn't hold it back.

Just this one spell made Liu Qi aware of the terrors of Huaguo Mountain, naturally not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Zhang Liang led Liu Qi towards Lotus Island.

"Lotus Island was named by the Second Great King. This small island is somewhat shaped like a lotus flower."

Zhang Liang introduced Lotus Island to Liu Qi.

Lotus Island was where demons learned management and administrative work. Every Demon King had to come here each year for further study, so it also had another name.

"The demons of Huaguo Mountain call this place Demon King Island."

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "As long as you claim to be a student of Demon King Island in the future, with my protection, other demons won't dare to trouble you."

Liu Qi nodded, but internally, he couldn't help feeling a bit worried.

*Demon King Island, do the Demon Kings here really not eat people?*

"No need to worry, the Great King asked me to arrange your studies. I have some reputation here." Zhang Liang said, "I live on the island, and you can concentrate on learning management."

As the Crown Prince, Liu Qi's focus on this trip was the management of Huaguo Mountain.

"Why doesn't the Monkey King want to see me?"

Liu Qi was still a bit uneasy.

Zhang Liang smiled, "The Great King is cultivating, and he will surely find time to see you in the future."

They walked past a stone lion.

"Mr. Zhang." The stone lion suddenly opened its eyes and turned its head to ask, "Who is he?"

Liu Qi did not expect the stone lion to speak, and he retreated in surprise.

Zhang Liang answered with a smile, "He is a guest of the Great King."

The stone lion looked at Liu Qi, the white light flashed in its eyes, then it nodded, closed its eyes, and turned back into an immobile statue.

Once they were far from the stone lion, Liu Qi felt slightly at ease.

"Sir, who is that stone lion?"

"It is a student here, just like you."

Zhang Liang replied.

This stone lion was a demon Sun Wukong brought back from the Three Star Cave, and since it had not yet taken human form, Sun Wukong placed it here to learn some knowledge in addition to cultivating.

"Being a lifeless object, transformation is more difficult for it than for ordinary demons, but with the Great King's guidance, it can hear from all directions, knowing everything happening on Lotus Island."

Zhang Liang told Liu Qi.

Although the stone lion had not yet taken human form, its strength was not to be underestimated, and once transformation succeeded, it would certainly be an important figure at Huaguo Mountain.

Liu Qi held this in his heart.

The two entered a bookstore, as Zhang Liang wanted to buy some books Liu Qi would need.

As soon as Liu Qi entered the bookstore, he saw two little demons squatting on the ground, engrossed in looking at a picture.

In the picture was a turtle, vividly lifelike and incredibly cute. As Liu Qi looked over, he saw the form of the turtle change, the lines gradually becoming distinct, and it turned into the character '龜'.

Liu Qi couldn't help watching.

The character '龜' disappeared shortly after becoming visible. The two little demons shook the book a few times and then ran to the counter.

"Sister, sister, help us!"

They handed the book to the female demon speaking with Zhang Liang.

The female demon extended her hand over the book and chanted a spell, causing the character '龜' to reappear.

Liu Qi continued to watch for a while, and then discovered that this book was not a toy, but a literacy textbook.

This method of learning to read was impressive.

*Liu Qi was secretly amazed. When Zhang Liang finished purchasing the books, he could not help asking,* "Sir, do all the demons at Huaguo Mountain use that book to learn to read?"

Zhang Liang nodded, "A Great Demon must also instruct them."

When he first arrived at Huaguo Mountain, the demons had already been using that book to learn how to read.
