Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 528: Jiang Liu: I Respect Bodhisattva Guanyin the Most!

The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team, including the White Dragon Horse, consisted of five members. Although Jiang Liu appeared to have the lowest cultivation level, barely reaching the Realm of Heavenly Immortal, including Sun Wukong, no one dared to underestimate him.

After all, along the way, they had all witnessed Jiang Liu's variety of miraculous methods with their own eyes.

Moreover, up to now, no one knew how many more miraculous methods Jiang Liu had hidden.

Therefore, facing the threat from Jiang Liu, Zhu Bajie immediately backed down, not daring to say anything further.

After begging for mercy a few times, he quickly turned around and returned to his room to rest, not daring to tease the master anymore.

"Master, we will also go to rest!" As Zhu Bajie slinked away, it made Sun Wukong secretly chuckle. He then greeted Jiang Liu and headed back to his own room along with Sha Wujing to rest.

Although Princess Gaoyang's face wore a shy demeanor, as Sun Wukong and the others went to their rooms to rest, Princess Gaoyang silently, yet also turned and walked towards Jiang Liu's room.

"Uh..."

Watching Princess Gaoyang turn towards his room, Jiang Liu felt a bit awkward for a moment, inwardly hesitating whether to go in or not!

After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath and stepped toward his room!

If he is not afraid of the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, what is there to be afraid of!?

Of course, the main thing is that he had no improper thoughts; he was entering only to understand Bodhisattva's intentions, purely for official business!

Even if he truly got seduced by the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, it would still be a sacrifice for the sake of duty, a great sacrifice on his part.

Can't help it, if I don't enter hell, who will?

If possible, he really wished he could switch places with Zhu Bajie!

"Jiang Liu, it's getting late, you, aren't you coming to rest?"

As Jiang Liu was lost in his thoughts, at this time, Princess Gaoyang was already lying in bed. Originally facing away from the door as she lay down, sensing Jiang Liu's inaction, she turned around and spoke.

"Well, I, I'm not very tired yet, no, not in a hurry to rest..."

Though Jiang Liu had mentally prepared himself and even found an excuse, thinking it was one thing and daring to do it was another.

Hearing Princess Gaoyang's words, okay, inviting him to bed, Jiang Liu chickened out.

"Not in a hurry to rest? Then I'll keep you company for a chat..." Seeing the obviously timid look on Jiang Liu, Princess Gaoyang sat up from the bed with a smile on her face and said.

To tell the truth, the feelings between him and Princess Gaoyang, of course, the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden knew about them and greatly admired the relationship between him and Princess Gaoyang.

Just didn't expect that after she took on the appearance of Princess Gaoyang, she would see a side of Xuanzang not known to others.

So, he was this timid when in the room?

This is really interesting!

Of course, she did not forget her mission, which was to pretend to be Princess Gaoyang, and then get some words out of him!

From his willingness to swear an oath to heaven for Princess Gaoyang, it was apparent how deeply he felt for Princess Gaoyang.

Naturally, if Princess Gaoyang asked him about anything, he would definitely not hide it.

That's why Bodhisattva assigned her this task.

"Talking, huh? Okay, we can talk..." Hearing Princess Gaoyang's words, Jiang Liu nodded and visibly relaxed.

If she insisted on inviting him to bed to rest, that would have been really awkward.

Should he agree? Or should he agree?

Is this finally starting? The purpose of her becoming Princess Gaoyang, could he find out soon?

"Since the day we parted at the Liusha River, we haven't seen each other for so long, how have you been these days?" Princess Gaoyang sat on the bed, looking at Jiang Liu with affectionate eyes and asked.

"Hmm, pretty good, the journey has been quite nice!" Jiang Liu nodded to Princess Gaoyang's inquiry.

As the words fell, after a slight pause, Jiang continued to ask, "And you? Have you been doing well with Bodhisattva?"

"I've been doing pretty well too, Bodhisattva has been very kind to me, and by the way, she often mentions you too, often praising you!" After nodding her head, Princess Gaoyang did not forget to boost Bodhisattva's image.

"Praising me? If it weren't for my being on the Journey to the West, she would probably want to flay me, right?" Princess Gaoyang's words made Jiang Liu secretly sneer.

One knows one's own family affairs; after all, he had tricked Bodhisattva many times along the way.

Of course, these internal sneers were not something Jiang Liu would show on his face; following Princess Gaoyang's words, he nodded and said, "Bodhisattva has indeed taken great care of me on this journey, and I am very grateful in my heart!"

Jiang Liu's answer brought a smile to Princess Gaoyang's face, clearly very satisfied.

Next, Gaoyang and Jiang Liu, each harboring their own ulterior motives, exchanged a few more words.

Though the conversation seemed casual, it was actually full of indirect probing.

Jiang Liu listened carefully, memorized their words, and also responded appropriately to keep the conversation going.

If it had been the real Gaoyang in front of him, Jiang Liu would have already embraced her and lain down on the bed to whisper sweet nothings.

But knowing that the Gaoyang before him was the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden in disguise, Jiang Liu naturally knew what should and shouldn't be said.

In any case, when it came to the topic of the Bodhisattva, it was always safe to pick positive things to say.

After chatting back and forth for a while and feeling it was about enough, suddenly, the Gaoyang transformed by the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden sighed softly and said, "Jiang Liu, I, I…"

Her hesitant demeanor clearly showed that she had something to say, yet was unsure whether to speak!

"Gaoyang, what's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Seeing her deliberately display a hesitant demeanor, Jiang Liu's heart stirred slightly, but he maintained his composure and pressed her for an answer.

"Jiang Liu, you, you should give up going on the Journey to the West for Scriptures," urged Gaoyang, seemingly gathering great courage under Jiang Liu's questioning, "What's so good about the Journey to the West for Scriptures? Now that I am fine, let's, let's just elope!?"

"Ah!?" Jiang Liu widened his eyes in surprise, looking incredulously at Gaoyang before him.

If it had been the real Gaoyang who said these words, Jiang Liu would not have been surprised.

But the Gaoyang before him was fake, so why would she say such things?

His thoughts raced; the Zen Pearl Dragon Lady was transformed into Gaoyang by the Bodhisattva. So, would the Bodhisattva let him just quit?

Impossible!

Thus, were these words a form of reverse psychology? Was she trying to test his intentions?

So, this was the Bodhisattva's purpose? To test him? To see if he would give up the great endeavor of the Journey to the West for Scriptures for the sake of Gaoyang?

Or was it that she had already developed some doubts about him?

Otherwise, why would she suddenly send the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden to test him without reason?

Gaoyang's words shocked Jiang Liu, and of course, they also made him think a lot.

Soon, Jiang Liu roughly understood what Gaoyang, no, more precisely, what the Bodhisattva's purpose was.

"Gaoyang! What are you talking about!?"

Having realized the Bodhisattva's purpose, Jiang Liu's expression became stern as he looked at her and said, "There's a saying, 'A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!' I promised the Bodhisattva to go to the Western Heaven for scriptures! How could I abandon my mission halfway? Are you saying that my words mean nothing?"

"Besides, the Bodhisattva has taken great care of me along the way, even giving me three golden headbands, a Mystical Mirror, and a Ninth Grade Black Lotus. And you just mentioned, the Bodhisattva has been very kind to you as well, how could we be ungrateful?"

"Amitabha, in this life, the person I respect the most is the Bodhisattva. You are asking me to betray a promise to the Bodhisattva!? That is simply impossible!"

"Words like these! You should never mention them again in your life, otherwise, between you and me, all ties will be severed!"

With a stern demeanor, Jiang Liu looked seriously at Gaoyang as he spoke.

This attitude evidently startled Gaoyang, showing she was unprepared for Jiang Liu's strong reaction.

From Jiang Liu's expression and his words, Gaoyang could clearly feel Jiang Liu's attitude, and even more clearly feel his deep reverence for the Bodhisattva.

"Sorry, sorry, I misspoke just now…"

Seeing Jiang Liu's bristled attitude, Gaoyang was indeed taken aback, not feigning her reaction. After taking a deep breath to calm her startled emotions, she subsequently bowed her head like a child who had done something wrong and quietly apologized.

"Alright, Gaoyang, since you realize your mistake, let it go. Such matters should never be mentioned again!"

Seeing Gaoyang with her head bowed in admission of her error, the stern look on Jiang Liu's face naturally faded, and his voice softened a lot as he comforted her quietly.

"Really, this phase of competing in acting, I'm absolutely not inferior to anyone!" inwardly, Jiang Liu silently praised himself.

The acting skill of the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden was indeed not bad; if it weren't for the prior warning from Yuanling and his own character panel ability, he would have truly been deceived by her.

But likewise, Jiang Liu felt that his own acting was also quite remarkable.

At least under this attitude, he successfully deceived the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden!

Even though the words just now were indeed a bit cheesy, the effect seemed to be very good.

With her head slightly bowed, the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden still appeared like she had done something wrong, but her eyes briefly shifted.

Immediately, she raised her head again, her gaze resting on Jiang Liu as she asked, "Then, Jiang Liu, let me ask you one more question, if the scripture seeking is over, what do you want, to return to secular life or to be awarded at Spirit Mountain!?"
