Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 267 - 167: The Lady Emerging from the Ground

Upon seeing Tang Sanzang turn and walk away, the Peacock Princess was instantly dumbfounded.

She had thought that this shameless guy would use force, but never expected that he would just walk away like that.

Watching Tang Sanzang’s retreating figure getting farther and farther, the Peacock Princess took another glance at Lion Camel City, and finally, gritting her teeth, called out, "Elder Tang, if you don’t mind, you can stay for the night."

Tang Sanzang’s feet paused mid-air.

The Peacock Princess said candidly, "I need protection."

Tang Sanzang tilted his head to look at her, then turned and left without looking back.

The Peacock Princess became anxious, "Elder Tang, I am willing to serve you in exchange for protection, is that not enough either?"

Tang Sanzang waved his hand and said, "The monk here will either mooch for free or engage in real love, but trade... that I won’t do! It’s too complicated and affects the mood."

The Peacock Princess was stunned. In all her years, having met countless demons and gods, she had never encountered someone who could speak of freeloading with such a sense of righteousness.

The Peacock Princess watched as Tang Sanzang was about to disappear from her sight and bit her lip, saying, "I ask for nothing in return, isn’t that enough?"

However, Tang Sanzang simply vanished from sight.

The Peacock Princess felt a wave of helpless frustration, looked around, sighed, and began to pack her belongings, preparing to move.

After all, the karma here was too great for her to bear.

Yet she really couldn’t understand; even after she allowed him to freeload, why did he still leave?

After walking for a while, Zhu Ganglie couldn’t hold back any longer, "Master, it’s not too late to change your mind now."

But Tang Sanzang merely gave him a cold glance and said, "Wufan, were you fighting over women with your master before this?"

Zhu Ganglie quickly called out, "Master, I was just helping you..."

Bam!

One punch!

The pig became a shooting star, vanishing without a trace.

Tang Sanzang smacked his lips, muttering, "Ah... the monk just wants some free love or to find some true love, why is it so hard?"

The journey that followed could be described as smooth sailing.

However, there were some odd events, such as passing by Moon City and seeing many cages used to carry geese discarded outside the city.

Continuing the journey to the west, a peculiar mountain loomed ahead. It was odd because although it was large, it wasn’t particularly tall.

Yet, it spanned a vast area with towering trees, massive black pines one more imposing than the next, as if they were covering the sky.

Walking in the forest, the sunlight was sparse, almost too dim to see the path.

The roars of wild beasts occasionally echoed through the mountain forest, creating a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

But compared to the monk’s sullen expression, the gloominess of the mountain seemed trivial.

Ever since leaving Lion Camel City, Tang Sanzang had been in a foul mood, clearly hung up on the fact that he hadn’t succeeded in mooching for free.

"Wujing, keep an eye on the master, I’ll go beg for some vegetarian offerings," Sun Wukong said.

"Big Brother, you’ve been running yourself ragged lately, let me go instead," the Six-Eared Macaque said.

Zhu Ganglie said, "Big Brother, Little Six, you rest, I’ll go this time."

The fellows were competing to go beg for food, not because they were particularly diligent, but because the expression on their shaven companion was capricious, and they feared he might lose his temper and vent his frustration on them with a few punches.

As the three of them were red-faced with argument, Sha Wujing said, "Gentlemen, no need to fight over it, we still have plenty of lion, white elephant, and Golden Winged Great Peng meat left over, there’s no need to beg for food."

The trio glanced at the honest and simple Sha Wujing and said in unison, "Pah!"

They couldn’t walk on, so they might as well follow carefully.

Just then, Sun Wukong furrowed his brows and said, "There are demons!"

Zhu Ganglie grunted, "Big brother, stop talking nonsense. Along the way, we haven’t seen a single demon, not even the ones that were supposed to be arranged for us. And now you expect us to run into wild ones? You just want to find an excuse to sneak out for some fresh air!"

The six-eared macaque tilted its head to listen carefully, then with a serious expression, said, "There are definitely demons!"

Zhu Ganglie looked at him with suspicion.

The six-eared macaque and Sun Wukong both looked towards the front.

Indeed, after a while, they heard a cry for help from a distance: "Save me, save me!"

The voice seemed to be that of a woman!

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Tang Sanzang, who had been downcast and depressed, suddenly lifted his head!

Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque both spoke up as if to claim credit: "Master, this one is definitely a female demon!"

Sun Wukong said, "There is a thick, dark aura ahead, swarming with demon energy, surely a female demon who’s been around for years!"

The six-eared macaque added, "I can hear what she’s thinking. She wants to sleep with you, drain your life essence, and achieve the status of a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

The gleam in Tang Sanzang’s eyes sparkled as he said, "You mean to say she’s a bad demon and wants to sleep with me?"

Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque nodded at the same time.

Tang Sanzang laughed joyfully, "Then there’s no need to feel burdened by conscience, right?"

The two nodded again.

Boom!

Tang Sanzang disappeared from the spot, leaving only the White Dragon Horse standing there in a daze…

…

In the distance, a woman was tied to a large tree, her upper half bound to the tree with vines, and her lower half buried in the ground.

Her complexion was pale, with an expression of sheer terror.

Beside her, a local deity poked his head out: "Ma’am, I advise you to run quickly. The one coming is not Tang Sanzang!"

Diyong madam scoffed and said, "Are the lies of the heavenly court so childish these days? Three hundred years ago, I had inquired clearly. The mission of Buddhism to spread to the east requires Golden Cicada to incarnate as Tang Sanzang and go to the Western Heaven to obtain the True Scriptures, to bring the scriptures to the East and fulfill the grand celestial undertaking.

To ensure Tang Sanzang can successfully acquire the True Scriptures, Buddhism arranged for the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Ganglie, and General of the Curtain Sha Wujing to protect him closely.

Moreover, with the White Dragon transformed into a horse to provide the means of travel...

Now, I’ve seen such a group from afar, and you’re telling me they’re fake?"

The local deity said, "Ma’am, as soon as you came down, you closed off your life and death perception, seeking to break through to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. You’ve only emerged from seclusion yesterday and are unfamiliar with the current situation.

There’s been a change in plans!"

Diyong madam laughed, "Oh, a change indeed. Before, it was agreed that it was up to one’s own ability, and if I truly managed to sleep with Tang Sanzang and take his vital essence of ten lifetimes, Buddhism would accept it.

What now, you’ve had second thoughts?

Came to deceive me?"

The local deity looked at this stubborn woman, speechless.

Diyong madam laughed, "Caught in the act, and now you’ve nothing to say?"

The local deity wanted to say something else, but then they heard footsteps approaching, along with a sleazy voice: "Miss, where are you? This poor monk has come to save you!"

Upon hearing this, the local deity dropped the line, "Then I wish you good luck."

Having said that, the local deity dove into the ground and fled in panic.

Diyong madam sneered, "Little dwarf, still trying to fool me? What were you thinking?"

Then she pretended to be in great pain and cried out, "Save me, high monk, save me!"

Amidst her cries, they saw a monk with a shining bald head and a foolish, punchable face emerge from behind the trees, his eyes gleaming as he looked at her and asked, "Miss, how did you end up tied here?"
