Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Prank Candy

At this moment, the villagers gathered around and saw Oolong, who had been defeated by John and the others. Immediately, everyone grabbed their hoes, axes, and machetes, wanting to kill Oolong. Frightened, Oolong screamed repeatedly and hid behind Goku.

John quickly stopped everyone, saying, "Let's spare him. Actually, besides extorting some money, he hasn't harmed anyone's life. Although he committed crimes, they don't warrant death."

At this time, a villager shouted loudly, "We can let him go, but he must tell us where the girls he kidnapped are!"

"Yes, he must tell us what he did to those girls!" other villagers shouted.

To prevent Oolong from transforming and escaping again, John tied his hands with rope and gave the other end to Goku. Together, they escorted Oolong toward his home.

Not far outside the town, on top of a mountain, there was a relatively large palace that was Oolong's house.

When the villagers finally arrived at Oolong's home, they immediately rushed inside, loudly calling out their daughters' names.

Soon, everyone discovered their daughters in a room, and what they saw surprised them all. They had thought their daughters would be mistreated by Oolong, but the scene before them was unexpected.

They saw their daughters and other girls in the room - some were doing yoga with the TV, some were playing mahjong, some were smoking, and most of the girls were dressed in luxurious jewelry.

All the villagers stood at the doorway, watching their once simple daughters transformed into their current state, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, when those girls saw Oolong return but tied up with rope, they became upset and angrily asked their parents to untie him.

Some girls told Oolong to quickly prepare food for them, while others told him they had seen another beautiful piece of jewelry they wanted him to buy.

A villager broke the silence, asking his daughter, "Didn't Oolong bully you?"

His daughter replied, "Bully us? No, not at all. I think being Oolong's bride is truly blissful."

Indeed, how could they not be happy? Oolong did everything for them, and they only needed to enjoy themselves. Unlike before at home, where they had to take care of fields and livestock and help with household chores. Compared to that, this life seemed like heaven.

At this point, Oolong, as if his grievances were finally discovered, began crying loudly. He complained, "I don't know why, but those pure and kind girls, once they came here, all became extravagant and excessive. I just wanted a understanding, innocent, and kind girl. Why is that so difficult?!"

In the end, despite the girls' pleas, they were taken back by their parents.

John and Bulma obtained the fifth Dragon Ball - the six-star ball. This time, they took Oolong along with them because Bulma thought that although Oolong's transformation ability was somewhat useless, it might become a special trick sometimes.

After Oolong boarded the ship with everyone, John took out a candy and gave it to Oolong. Bulma realized it was the prank candy that John had bought from the store before they left West City.

John smiled and gave Bulma a knowing look, telling her to wait and see the show that was about to unfold.

Bulma checked the Dragon Radar and found that the next Dragon Ball required crossing a desert to reach a place called Fire Mountain.

"Fire Mountain!" When Oolong heard they were going to Fire Mountain, he immediately shouted, "Do you know whose territory Fire Mountain is? How dare you think of going to his territory for a Dragon Ball?"

Seeing Oolong's terrified expression, Bulma couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is Fire Mountain that scary?"

Oolong, with a horrified expression, said, "Legend has it that someone called the Ox-King lives in Fire Mountain. He has stolen many treasures and keeps them in his castle."

"Many people covet the Ox-King's treasures every day, but they all die at his hands. No one has survived."

"Now you're telling me we need to go to the Ox-King's place for a Dragon Ball? Do you think that's possible? I haven't lived long enough yet. If you want to go, go ahead, but I won't." After saying this, Oolong instantly transformed into a fish and jumped from the boat into the lake.

"Ah! He ran away!" Goku exclaimed, while taking off his clothes and jumping into the lake, trying to catch Oolong.

However, Oolong was now a small fish, and once he hid in the water grass, Goku couldn't find him at all. After searching for several minutes, Goku found he really couldn't find any trace of Oolong and had to swim back up.

Goku said, "I can't find him. Looks like he got away this time."

Goku's words on the boat reached Oolong's ears as he hid in the water grass, making him laugh smugly.

At this moment, Bulma understood why John had given Oolong the prank candy earlier. She smiled at John and asked, "John, should you call out, or should I?"

John gestured and said, "After you!"

Hearing John's words, she began calling out with a mischievous smile: "PiPi, PiPi..."

As soon as Bulma's voice reached into the water and into Oolong's ears, he felt his stomach churning violently. He immediately rushed out of the water, transformed back to his original form, and ran to the bushes for an urgent bathroom break.

After about ten seconds, he walked back out from the bushes.

Oolong looked at the man and woman before him, feeling that he was truly unlucky to have encountered these two tricksters.

Seeing Oolong's reaction, Goku found it very amusing and imitated Bulma, calling out: "PiPi, PiPi..."

Oolong, who had just resolved his problem, felt his stomach churning again and rushed back to the bushes for another urgent matter, while Goku laughed heartily.

When Oolong came out from the bushes again and saw John preparing to call out, he immediately stopped him: "No, don't call out! I won't run away again, please don't call out anymore."

Seeing Oolong surrender, John said, "I hope you keep your promise from now on and don't play any tricks. Otherwise, don't blame us."

Oolong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course!" But in his heart, he was secretly thinking about how to get revenge, quietly plotting how to get back at these three people who had tormented him.
