Macaque grunts as he swung his shadow staff at the dummy as Wukong watches "keep your legs apart, step into the strike" Wukong said as he watches from the side, Macaque spins the staff above his head and swung it down onto the dummy knocking its head off "not bad, you're getting the hang with using a staff" Wukong said smiling, Macaque blushed a bit and smiled back "thank you, I have you teaching me to thank" he said his shadow staff dispelling. Now it was Wukongs turn to blush as he chuckles rubbing the back of his head "Dìdi, mother fetched me to get you and Wukong for lunch" Jun said making the two turn to her "we'll be there" Macaque said dabbing a cloth over him to remove the sweat

Jun nodded and went back into the palace "well we better get going" Wukong said, Macaque nodded and they went inside the palace towards the dining room. When they entered the dining room they saw the Empress, and Macaques siblings there the table was filled with fruit, red bean paste Bun, Fried rice, tea, dumplings, steamed vegetables, and Xiaolongbao "welcome snowflake" the Empress said smiling up at her son "hello mother, is father not joining us" Macaque said noticing that his father wasn't here "your father is busy for the moment I'm afraid, so he won't be joining us today" the Empress said as the two sat down. Soon they all began to eat "how has training been going?" The Empress asked taking a sip from her tea "really well, he's a fast learner and is mastering his powers really well" Wukong said

"Wow Dàgē, your crush is an amazing teacher" Mingli said making the tanned and copper simian blush "h-he is not my crush" Macaque said slightly glaring at his younger brother "please, you always stare up at the clouds with a love struck look on your face" An said remembering the times her younger brother would stare up at the clouds "and you would constantly sigh murmuring his name with a glow on your face" Dingbang said chuckling "and you would draw him all day smiling at your drawings" Liang said. Macaque's face and ears were now beet red in embarrassment as steam was coming out of his ears unable to speak

Wukong's face was bright red as he blinks rapidly at the information "children, stop teasing your brother" the Empress said raising her hand up "yes mother" An, Dingbang, and Lang said with a small bow, Macaque took a few deep breaths and his face returned to normal "thank you mother" Macaque said smiling taking a sip form his tea "though it would be nice to have grandchildren snowflake" The Empress said making the tanned simian choke on his tea "MOTHER!!!" Macaque shouted his face going back to beet red while Wukong's nose started to bleed while the Empress chuckled
