Chapter 63 Bull Demon King and Daughter
"Hey, little sister," Cyrus said, raising his hand in a friendly wave as the black cloud descended to the ground.
The girl flinched at the sight of him and his companions. Her eyes widened in fear, and she took a step back, her hands trembling as they pressed against her helmet.
"Are you here to arrest me too? Don't come any closer!" she shouted, her voice sharp with panic.
Before anyone could respond, a sudden beam of light shot out from her helmet, hurtling straight toward Cyrus and his group.
"Ahh!" Bulma and Tais cried out, instinctively shielding themselves.
But Cyrus remained calm. In one swift motion, he pulled the two girls into his arms and tilted his head slightly, allowing the beam to pass harmlessly by.
"You bad guy!" Wukong shouted from atop the Somersault Cloud, his face flushed with anger. "Why did you attack Cyrus and Bulma?!"
Without hesitation, Wukong raised his Ruyi Stick, his grip tightening as he prepared to strike.
"Wukong, stop! She's not a bad person!"
Cyrus's firm voice cut through the tension. He stepped forward quickly, placing himself between Wukong and the girl.
Wukong paused mid-swing, his eyes darting toward Cyrus. Though he didn't fully understand, he trusted Cyrus implicitly. With a reluctant huff, he lowered the Ruyi Stick.
The girl stared at them, her posture still defensive but now tinged with confusion.
Cyrus turned to her, his tone gentle yet firm. "Little girl, we're not here to arrest you. Don't attack us again, okay? Otherwise, don't blame Goku if he smashes your pretty little head."
He reached out and lightly tapped her helmet, a gesture meant to disarm the tension. His casual demeanor seemed to throw her off guard, and for a moment, the fear in her eyes flickered into uncertainty.
"You… you're not here to arrest me?" Chi Chi stammered, her voice trembling but tinged with hope.
"Of course not," Cyrus replied with a gentle smile. "Your name is Chi Chi, right?"
Chi Chi's eyes widened in surprise. "My name is Chi Chi! How… how do you know my name?"
Cyrus chuckled softly, reaching out to tap the little helmet atop her head. "You're so cute—who else could you be but Chi Chi?"
For a moment, Chi Chi froze.
On the black cloud, Bulma and Taisi both groaned and rolled their eyes. Cyrus! Flirting with a kid now? they thought, exasperated. But to their astonishment, Chi Chi's face turned beet red.
"C-Cute?"
Chi Chi covered her face with both hands, peeking out shyly between her fingers. "W-Wow… no one other than my dad has ever called me cute before…"
Her happiness was so genuine and pure that Cyrus couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself. What a simple and innocent girl, he thought.
But then, a mischievous thought crossed his mind. Honestly, it's probably this very innocence that lets Goku win her over in the original story. Without her, Goku would've been a lifelong bachelor for sure.
"My name's Cyrus," he said aloud, gesturing to the group behind him. "And these are my friends: Bulma, Taisi, and Goku."
Chi Chi peeked out from behind her hands, her gaze darting between them. "Oh, um… hello!" she said, bowing politely.
"Chi Chi," Cyrus continued, his tone softening, "where are you heading?"
"My father wanted to put out the flames of Frying Pan Mountain," Chi Chi explained earnestly, her hands clasped together. "So he asked me to go find Master Roshi and borrow the banana fan."
Cyrus raised an eyebrow, then chuckled. "You want the banana fan? Well, no need to go looking for Master Roshi."
Chi Chi tilted her head, confused.
"Goku and I are Roshi's disciples," Cyrus said, slinging the large fan off his back and holding it up. "And this is the banana fan. Coincidentally, we're headed to Frying Pan Mountain too. How about you come with us? We'll help you put out the flames."
Chi Chi's eyes lit up. "You're Master Roshi's disciples? And you have the banana fan?" She gasped, clapping her hands together. "That's amazing! Thank you, Cyrus. You're such a good person!"
Cyrus blinked, momentarily taken aback by her enthusiasm. "A… good person?" he muttered, scratching the back of his head. Did I just get a nice guy card? Well… as long as it's not that kind of nice guy card, I'll let it slide.
He shook his head with a smirk and turned to Goku. "Goku, let Chi Chi ride your somersault cloud, and make sure she gets to Frying Pan Mountain safely."
"Got it!" Goku said, lowering the somersault cloud to the ground.
Chi Chi's eyes sparkled as she reached out to touch the golden cloud. "Wow! This soft, cottony thing can carry people? That's amazing!"
She carefully climbed onto the cloud but struggled a bit due to her short stature and small frame. After a few attempts, she noticed Goku's tail dangling nearby. Without a second thought, she grabbed it for support.
"Hey—!" Goku yelped, freezing in place as his body stiffened.
Startled, Chi Chi looked up. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"N-No," Goku stammered, his voice strained. "Just… please don't pull on my tail again, okay? It's… sensitive."
Chi Chi blinked in surprise, then quickly let go. "Oh! I'm so sorry, Goku! I didn't know!"
Cyrus couldn't help but laugh at the scene. "Alright, you two, let's get moving. The sooner we reach Frying Pan Mountain, the sooner we can help Chi Chi's dad."
Chi Chi gave an eager nod, and Goku guided the somersault cloud forward, Chi Chi sitting comfortably atop it, her excitement and curiosity bubbling over as they sped toward their destination.
"ah!!!"
"Tail, tail! Don't touch my tail!"
Goku yelped, leaping forward as if electricity had shot through her.
The Saiyan tail was a notorious weakness. Although Goku had overcome its debilitating effects through rigorous training under Cyrus, her tail was still incredibly sensitive. It was a boundary she only allowed Cyrus to cross—and even then, only reluctantly.
Chi Chi tilted her head, curious. "That's so weird. Why do you still have a tail?"
"It's just a little touch. You're so stingy," she teased, sticking out her tongue as she climbed onto the somersault cloud.
"You're the stingy one, you brat!" Goku retorted, puffing her cheeks.
"You're the brat!" Chi Chi shot back, scrunching up her nose.
Before long, they were pulling faces at each other like quarrelsome siblings. Watching the playful exchange, Cyrus couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"Alright, Goku, let's move out," Cyrus called, snapping them out of their little squabble.
"Right!"
The clouds soared into the sky. Goku and Chi Chi sped ahead on the somersault cloud while Cyrus, Bulma, and Taisi followed closely on the Black Dou Cloud.
"Whoa! This thing is so fast!" Chi Chi exclaimed, clutching tightly to Goku's shirt as the cloud darted through the air.
"Heh, my somersault cloud is the best!" Goku said proudly, glancing back with a grin.
Meanwhile, on the Black Dou Cloud, Bulma leaned closer to Cyrus. "Hey, Cyrus, how do you know that girl Chi Chi?"
Cyrus shrugged, playing it cool. "Her father, the Bull Demon King, is one of Master Roshi's disciples. That's how I know her."
Bulma nodded as if that explanation made perfect sense.
What Cyrus didn't mention was the truth: he had never met the Bull Demon King or Chi Chi before. His knowledge came from memories of another world—a secret he had no intention of ever revealing.
Moments later, the group arrived above Frying Pan Mountain.
The sight was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The entire mountain was engulfed in roaring flames, their heat palpable even from the sky. Amid the inferno, a colossal castle stood, barely visible through the smoke and fire.
"Ha! My dad is there!" Chi Chi said excitedly, pointing toward the base of the mountain.
"Dad! Dad! I'm back!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
Following her gaze, Cyrus spotted a towering figure lounging against a massive rock.
The legendary Bull Demon King.
He was everything the stories described—a hulking man with broad shoulders, a thick beard, and a horned helmet atop his head. His imposing presence was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine, his ferocious appearance making him seem like a demon guarding his domain.
As the group landed, the Bull Demon King stirred.
"Ha... Chi Chi? Is that you calling me?"
He yawned, stretching his massive arms, his booming voice resonating like distant thunder. Slowly, he turned his gaze toward the group, his sharp eyes narrowing as he assessed the newcomers.
