Snake Way was rumored to be one million kilometers long.
It resembled a giant dragon sleeping among the clouds, winding and twisting endlessly.
Its yellow, scale-like stone slabs stretched far into the dim sky of the Other World.
Below lay endless yellow clouds, the entrance to Hell. It was said that anyone who fell down there would have their soul lost forever.
"Whoa! It's so long!"
Goku stood at the starting point, the snake's head, shading his eyes as he looked into the distance with excitement.
"So this is Snake Way? As long as I run to the end, I'll be able to see King Kai, right?"
"That's right, but I've heard ordinary people need several years to finish it. Even for you, it will probably take half a year."
Kami stood nearby, giving his final instructions.
"Goku, remember not to fall off. Also, whatever you do, do not eat the food here. It's a trap."
"I know, Kami. You're as nagging as Chi-Chi."
Goku loosened his body, did a few high knees in place, then took a starting stance.
"Then I'm off! Krillin, let's race to see who gets there first!"
With a whoosh, Goku sprinted forward like a wild monkey set free.
After the battle with Raditz, even though he had died, his physical strength was still impressive. His running kicked up strong gusts of wind.
Krillin remained where he was, watching Goku's slow retreating figure and shaking his head helplessly.
"Half a year? I don't have that kind of free time."
Krillin turned and waved at Kami.
"Old man, you head back. Keep an eye on Earth. Don't let Trunks tear down your Lookout."
With that, Krillin pushed off the ground.
Boom!
A deafening sonic boom exploded at the start of Snake Way.
Kami felt a violent gust slam into his face and nearly knock him over.
By the time he opened his eyes, Krillin had already disappeared, leaving behind expanding rings of white airwaves.
Several kilometers ahead, Goku was running hard when he suddenly felt his collar tighten and his feet lift off the ground.
"Hey! Hey!" Goku flailed his arms and legs.
"Krillin? Why are you grabbing me?"
"You're too slow. At this rate, by the time we reach King Kai's Planet, the opportunity will already be gone."
Krillin carried Goku like a small chick.
His body was surrounded by a layer of white energy, showing that his Flight technique was operating at full power.
"Hold on tight. We're accelerating."
"Accelerating?"
Before Goku could react, the scenery blurred into streaks.
Krillin instantly broke the sound barrier, then exceeded it dozens of times over.
The maintenance guards on Snake Way were sitting on clouds and dozing off.
Suddenly, a violent windstorm swept overhead and blew them off their clouds before they could even react. Their spears flew off somewhere into the distance.
"What was that just now? A meteor?"
One guard crawled out from the clouds with his hat crooked and his face full of fear.
High in the air, Goku's face was distorted by the wind pressure. His cheeks puffed up as air filled his mouth.
"Krillin... slow down... I'm gonna puke..."
"Endure it! Chi-Chi isn't here. If you puke on yourself, you're washing it!"
Krillin did not slow down at all.
The Saitama Template granted him not only strength but also absurd physical toughness that ignored air resistance.
One million kilometers?
To him, that was only a two-day trip, and that already included time for resting and eating.
Two days later, halfway along Snake Way, an ancient-style palace suddenly appeared beside the road.
As soon as they landed, the vermilion palace gates opened silently as if they had sensed their presence.
A warm, sweet fragrance drifted toward them.
It wasn't ordinary floral perfume, but a strange mixture of musk and rare orchids that left people feeling slightly dizzy after breathing it in.
"Oh my, Snake Way has been lonely for centuries. Today, two warm sources of life energy have finally arrived."
A soft laugh echoed through the air as two rows of handmaidens wearing thin gauze clothing walked out carrying lanterns.
Behind them came a graceful woman.
Snake Princess.
Today she wore a flowing purple robe with a very low neckline, revealing smooth skin and elegant collarbones.
A silk ribbon loosely tied her waist. As she walked, her long fair legs appeared briefly through the slit of her skirt, each step capturing attention.
"Brave warriors, the journey is long. Why not come inside and enjoy some wine to relieve your fatigue?"
Snake Princess glanced at Goku, saw his simple expression, and quickly lost interest. Her gaze settled on Krillin instead.
What a handsome and powerful man.
Even though he was bald, the calm confidence in his expression and the strength hidden beneath his martial arts uniform made him extremely attractive.
"There's food? Great!"
Goku immediately rushed inside and grabbed a whole roasted pig from the table, stuffing his mouth without hesitation.
Krillin glanced at Snake Princess and activated his AR Data Vision.
Target: Snake Princess
Race: Demon Beast
Combat Power: 150
Evaluation: A snake dreaming of eating swan meat. Beautiful but weak.
Krillin didn't move at all.
Seeing this, Snake Princess smiled with determination.
She waved her hand and the palace doors slammed shut.
The lights dimmed instantly. Pink mist filled the hall as soft music echoed through the air.
Instead of approaching immediately, she slowly walked around Krillin.
"Big brother, why not come inside?"
Her voice sounded gentle and distant, as if whispering directly into his ears.
Walking behind him, she placed a slender finger on his shoulder and slowly traced downward along his back.
"This Snake Way is so long and lonely. Besides the sound of the wind, there is nothing here..."
Her body pressed gently against his back.
She leaned close and rested her chin on his shoulder, her breath brushing against his ear.
"I have thirty-year-old wine, a soft couch made from cloud silk, and my heart, which has waited for centuries. Don't you want to warm it?"
She took Krillin's hand and pressed it against her chest.
The handmaidens gathered around them, holding wine and fruit, laughing softly as they surrounded him.
"Stay here. As long as you nod, this palace is yours, this Snake Way is yours, and even my centuries of cultivation are yours.
You can live here forever and never worry about saving the world again. Leave that hard work to that silly boy."
She loosened the first button of Krillin's uniform and traced his chest lightly.
"See? Even your body wants to rest."
Krillin looked down calmly at Snake Princess.
She truly was beautiful.
If this had been the old Krillin from years ago, he might have collapsed immediately.
But now, images flashed through his mind.
Bulma's confident smile.
Blonde Launch carrying a machine gun with wild energy.
Blue-haired Launch working gently in the kitchen wearing an apron.
Compared to them, this place felt like cheap street food.
"Are you done acting?" Krillin spoke calmly, instantly breaking the atmosphere.
Snake Princess froze.
"What?"
Krillin pressed one finger against her forehead and pushed her away.
Then he calmly fastened his uniform again and brushed off his shoulders.
"First, your illusion techniques are low-level. This perfume gives me a headache, and that roasted pig is actually just roadside rocks. Only someone like Goku would eat that."
Goku looked up while chewing, "Huh? What did you say, Krillin? This meat really is kind of hard."
Snake Princess's expression twitched.
"Second, you said everything here belongs to me? Honestly, your entire palace isn't even as big as my bathroom.
With these assets, you're not even worthy of carrying my wife's shoes. Even a random hair from her head has more financial value than everything you own.
Third, and most importantly," Krillin leaned closer and smiled slightly.
"My wife is the richest person in the world and also a peerless beauty. I eat delicacies every day. Why would I be interested in leftovers that have been sitting here for hundreds of years?
You rely on illusions just to maintain your appearance. Stop embarrassing yourself."
Snake Princess trembled with rage.
"You... you..."
Green scales appeared across her skin as her pupils turned into slits filled with killing intent.
"You ungrateful man! I'll chew you up and swallow you!"
"Goku! Let's go! Stop chewing rocks!" Krillin grabbed Goku and stomped the ground.
Boom!
The two shot into the sky and smashed straight through the palace roof.
Snake Princess's furious scream echoed behind them as the palace collapsed and transformed into a giant green python thrashing through the clouds.
Krillin looked back briefly.
"What a waste of time. Monsters these days really lack self-awareness."
Goku, still dizzy from the wind, said, "Krillin, wasn't that a little harsh?"
"When dealing with a monster that wants to eat you, you destroy their confidence first. Besides, I was telling the truth."
Another half day passed.
At the edge of their vision, a small planet finally appeared floating in space. It was smaller than a town on Earth but radiated unusual gravity.
"We're here! King Kai's Planet!" Krillin slowed and stopped above it.
"Prepare to land. The gravity here is different."
As soon as Goku landed, his face smashed straight into the ground.
"So heavy! My body feels so heavy!" He struggled to move.
Krillin landed normally and bounced lightly.
"So this is ten times gravity? It feels about the same as Trunks' daily training."
He glanced at Goku and silently decided that when they returned, he would ask Bulma to prepare a gravity chamber for him.
Saiyans improved fastest under extreme gravity.
"Is anyone here?" Goku struggled to sit up.
"Yes, and he's very interesting."
Krillin smiled slightly as he looked toward the small round house ahead.
"Goku, listen carefully. If you want King Kai to teach you martial arts, you must pass his test."
"A test? Do I have to defeat him?" Goku's battle spirit immediately rose.
"No, it's harder than that," Krillin spoke seriously.
"King Kai loves jokes. You must tell one that makes him laugh before he accepts you as a student."
"Tell a joke?" Goku froze.
He was good at fighting, but jokes were much harder.
"Don't worry," Krillin leaned closer and whispered into Goku's ear.
"Later, just tell him this..."
