Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 620: Poor Golden Hair Lion (4th Update)
He cried, at this time, Golden Hair Lion truly felt an urge to weep.
Since the ancient war between shamans and demons, the Human Clan had flourished, and the days of the Demon Clan had been tough, continuously enduring the humans' cries to attack and eliminate them.
After becoming the mount of Bodhisattva Guanyin, although Golden Hair Lion had become the mount of another, at least his life was guaranteed, right?
However, who would have thought that Bodhisattva Guanyin would actually demand him to face a calamity?
Golden Hair Lion knew about the incident where Muzha faced the calamity and ended up perishing completely, which filled his heart with immense fear.
Fortunately, Bodhisattva Guanyin had agreed that he could select a few Dharma Treasures from the Tathagata's treasury for self-protection.
He had chosen a few defensive Dharma Treasures, initially thinking that protecting himself shouldn't be a problem, but who knew, the final outcome was still a narrow escape from death.
If Guanyin's actions had been a bit slower, or if he had held out for even a shorter time, he would have perished completely, too.
The horrors of an Immeasurable Kalpa were once again displayed before Golden Hair Lion, causing indescribable fear in his heart.
Initially, after returning to the Purple Bamboo Forest, Golden Hair Lion felt that he was finally safe and completely let down his guard.
Thinking that the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team had already left Zhuzi Country, it should be absolutely safe to have some fun at this time!
But in reality? He hadn't even left the Purple Bamboo Forest when Master Xuanzang suddenly descended from the sky!
Is there no living room left for him? He had returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest, yet Xuanzang still wouldn't let him be!?
Alright, if he couldn't provoke, could he hide then?
After escaping the Purple Bamboo Forest, he even buried himself in the soil, planning to wait out the days of the Journey to the West's Immeasurable Kalpa before emerging.
This should be fine, right?
But what about in reality?
Not even a day had passed before Xuanzang had descended from the sky again!
What on earth is going on?
Is there no way left to live?

Could it be that Heaven truly decreed that he must face this calamity?
Getting up from the ground at this time, fear secretly surged in Golden Hair Lion's heart.
On the first day, Xuanzang landed right beside him; he could no longer bury himself in the soil, as it proved to be ineffective.
So, where should he go then?
In such a vast Triple Realm, where else was suitable for him to hide?
"Right, there is one place…" After thinking for a long time, suddenly, Golden Hair Lion had a stroke of inspiration.
He remembered that he had once incidentally read that Western Liang Women's Country was a unique place because it only had women and no men.
Moreover, Master Xuanzang had already passed through the Western Liang Women's Country on his scripture-seeking journey and, as far as he knew, Xuanzang avoided women as if they were venomous snakes.
In that case, hiding in the Western Liang Women's Country would be absolutely safe, wouldn't it?
"Great, I'm truly brilliant," he thought.
With this thought, Golden Hair Lion silently praised himself and then soared into the sky, flying toward the direction of Western Liang Women's Country.
...
Putting aside what Golden Hair Lion was thinking, Jiang Liu had already arrived at the palace of the Women's Kingdom, descended from his cloud, and landed.
Seeing Jiang Liu descend, Xiaoyu, appearing as a child, seemed quite fond of him, walked over, and grasped the edge of Jiang Liu's kasaya.
"Xiaoyu, how were you let out?"
Seeing her demeanor, Jiang Liu bent down, picked her up, and asked.
"Maitreya Buddha and my master made a deal; they brought out some treasure, and only then did my master agree, so I can come out for two months every year!" Xiaoyu answered upon being asked by Jiang Liu.
"Not released directly, but you can come out for two months each year?" Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flickered through Jiang Liu's heart.
However, upon reflection, keeping his daughter in the Netherworld Blood Sea under the care of Ancestor Minghe seemed not too bad?
After all, his goal was to overthrow the Great Thunder Monastery.
Whether he could succeed, nobody knew.
If he succeeded, good, but if he failed, his daughter would also be implicated, right?
In the hands of Ancestor Minghe, she could at least protect herself, right?
Since his daughter could come out for two months a year, Jiang Liu felt happy for her, so after thinking it over, he decided to stay in the palace of the Women's Kingdom for two months, which was also a way to compensate for the guilt in his heart.
After all, it was because of his paternal affection toward Xiaoyu that he had been unable to take drastic actions, leading to Xiaoyu's body being somewhat forced out of her control, wasn't it?
Moreover, it was also a means to protect the King of Women's Kingdom.
Who knew when Xiaoyu might suddenly appear, take over the body, and then target the King of Women's Kingdom?
Having considered this decision, Jiang Liu thought about it and informed Sun Wukong and the others as well.
Journey to the West for Scriptures could spare two months, would Guanyin, no, Maitreya Buddha be anxious? Jiang Liu thought it quite unlikely.
After all, he had helped rescue Xiaoyu.
Besides, even if Maitreya Buddha became anxious and urged him to hurry on the road, it wouldn't be too late to leave then.
Hearing that Jiang Liu was willing to stay and keep her company, Lingyu was of course very happy.
Similarly, the King of Women's Kingdom, hearing that Jiang Liu was willing to reside in the Women's Kingdom for two months, was also very happy.
About the matters concerning Lingyu and Xueyu, Jiang Liu naturally inquired in detail.
Lingyu practiced the Concentration Art, a cultivation method taught by Ancestor Minghe, which primarily cultivates the power of the Divine Soul.
On the other hand, Xueyu practiced the Blood Sea Sutra, which seemed to be the top cultivation method of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
In terms of cultivation, with personal guidance from Ancestor Minghe, both Lingyu and Xueyu advanced very rapidly—it wasn't an exaggeration to say they progressed by leaps and bounds each day.
Jiang Liu also took a look at Lingyu's character panel.
A blue-quality panel, level 35 strength.
In just a few months, reaching level 35? Such speed was indeed very fast.
In terms of the cultivation levels of mortal-world cultivators, does this count as having reached the Controlling-Law Realm?
…
The Golden Hair Lion, upon arriving in the Women's Kingdom of Western Liang, hadn't shown any intention of flaunting himself and instead stayed low.
In his original form, his golden large canine appearance attracted a lot of attention.
Changing into a Taoist body, his form as a man was equally eye-catching.
Thus, after some consideration, the Golden Hair Lion decided to transform into a small dog.
Woof, woof, woof!
Making a pitiful, weak, and helpless appearance, the Golden Hair Lion walked down the street with a pitiful look but kept casually glancing at the women around him.
So many beautiful women.
Women usually have compassionate hearts, right?
Hoping that a beautiful woman, overwhelmed with compassion, would take him home would be perfect.
Not only would he be able to stay in this kingdom of beauties every day, but he could also safely wait for the Immeasurable Kalpa to pass—wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Great, truly fitting of me!
Woof, woof, woof.
Transforming into a small puppy, the Golden Hair Lion pretended to be very pitiful as he sat on the street, while also waiting for a kind-hearted beauty to pick him up.
At this moment, suddenly, a little girl came bouncing up to him, very happy, and picked him up in one swoop.
The Golden Hair Lion looked up and saw a pretty young girl with a blue rune between her brows, which looked somewhat mysterious.
"Shoot, just a little girl? I don't really want to stay with her!" After one glance, the Golden Hair Lion silently shook his head.
He struggled to jump out and ran off into the distance.
"Doggie, doggie…"
Lingyu watched the little dog thrown onto the street and hurriedly chased after it, her face looking anxious.
Although she seemed just a young girl, with her level 35 cultivation, her running speed was quite fast.
"What the heck? Such a small kid has cultivation?" Looking back and seeing Lingyu catching up, the Golden Hair Lion secretly marveled inside.
Although for a Taiyi True Immortal like himself, this level of cultivation was nothing, it was quite surprising on a human girl.
"Xiaoyu, run slower, don't fall over…" From behind Lingyu, a luxurious carriage curtain was lifted, and the King of Women's Kingdom yelled worriedly at Lingyu.
"Got it, Mommy!" In a baby voice, Lingyu replied and continued chasing after the Golden Hair Lion.
The Golden Hair Lion, hearing the King of Women's Kingdom's words, looked back and saw her, his eyes suddenly brightening a lot.
"Such a beautiful woman, and she carries an aura of affluence! So, behind this little girl, there's such a beautiful mother? Couldn't be better, if she would take me home, then wouldn't it be…"
With a thought, the Golden Hair Lion felt secretly thrilled and stopped running, letting Lingyu pick him up.
"Doggie, doggie, got you! Come home with me!" Seeing that it was a stray, Lingyu held onto it and then turned to walk towards the carriage.
"Looking at her, the woman on the carriage might be the King of Women's Kingdom? If I, transformed into a dog, stay by the King of Women's Kingdom's side, could I perhaps get a chance to… taste what she is like?"
"Phew, I told you, how could it be destined by heaven that I must face a calamity? It must have been just bad luck before!"
"Has all my bad luck already dispersed? Is it all good luck now?"
"Just by chance, could I be picked up by the King of Women's Kingdom?"
At this time, the Golden Hair Lion felt that he had finally shed his bad luck and at last his bitter days had passed.
As Lingyu held onto him, a guard nearby helped and directly hoisted both Lingyu and the Golden Hair Lion into the carriage.
"Imperial Brother, Xiaoyu looks very happy!" Inside the carriage, the King of Women's Kingdom spoke to Jiang Liu.
"Yes, it's her time to be carefree and merry, she should play more!" Jiang Liu nodded, and seeing Lingyu happy, naturally made him feel happy too.
Immediately after, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Lingyu, holding the Golden Hair Lion, walked into the carriage.
The Golden Hair Lion felt secretly thrilled. As the curtain lifted, he indeed saw the King of Women's Kingdom sitting inside.
Wait a minute.
There was actually another man beside the King of Women's Kingdom?
