Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 514: Xiaotian Dog Actually Escaped

Therefore, the Three Demons shifted their attention to Sun Wukong, "Mr. Monkey, what’s going on? Can you tell us? I see that Shopkeeper Chen is as calm as ever. Could it be that Tian Peng being demoted to the mortal world isn’t a big deal?"

"What are you all thinking?" Sun Wukong huffed, "He’s been demoted to the mortal realm, how could that not be a big deal?"

"This really isn’t a big deal, my master had already guessed it," Sun Wukong explained to the Three Demons.

"But Mr. Monkey, since Shopkeeper Chen had already guessed it, why didn’t he stop it?" the Three Demons were puzzled, "Given Shopkeeper Chen’s abilities, he could surely speak a few words in front of the Jade Emperor, right? Why didn’t he say anything when Tian Peng was being demoted?"

"What do you think is the reason my master didn’t speak up?" Sun Wukong countered.

The Three Demons looked at each other, none of them knew.

But based on their guesses, Chen Nuo had never been afraid of anything; surely if he didn’t take action, it wasn’t out of fear. They thought, there must be another plan in Shopkeeper Chen’s mind.

"Could it be that Shopkeeper has his own plans?" Xiong Daoren asked.

The other two demons wanted to speak but Xiong Daoren beat them to it and could only look at him resentfully.

Sun Wukong nodded, "So you do know, then why ask? What’s there to ask?"

After saying this, he left, leaving the Three Demons, none willing to acquiesce to the others.

"What’s wrong with you, why are you so quick-mouthed?"

"Heh, what’s that supposed to mean? If I think of something, of course, I’ll say it. What, just because you speak slowly, you blame others for speaking quickly? There’s no such logic in the world."

"All of you, always trying to outdo each other in quick wit. You might as well think about whether we should now be helping Tian Peng out."

The Three Demons quieted down again. They started to think about how they could help Tian Peng, and after several days of thinking without any ideas, they decided that they still needed to descend to the mortal world and find Tian Peng first.

No sooner said than done, after bidding farewell to Chen Nuo, the Three Demons immediately set out to search for Tian Peng.

Sun Wukong was in the study, where Chen Nuo was painting for He Xi. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Master, the Three Demons have already left, should I still be concerned?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Not for now, let’s just see how things go. You stay at the milk tea shop, and I’ll stay inside the store," Chen Nuo said.

Sun Wukong nodded; he and Chen Nuo were quite in sync. Whatever Chen Nuo said, Sun Wukong could immediately understand and didn’t ask further questions, straightaway heading to the milk tea shop outside.

Inside the shop, it was still peaceful, at least for now.

The Three Demons had no idea where Tian Peng could have gone and just used their connections to start searching for him.

Days in the mortal realm always fly by quickly, and the Three Demons searched for several days in the human world to no avail.

Suddenly, a thought struck Xiong Daoren’s mind; he remembered the Xiaotian Dog.

So the trio immediately got up and went to visit the Xiaotian Dog.

At that moment, the Xiaotian Dog was curled up sleeping beside Yang Jian when a clamor erupted in his mind. Startled, the Xiaotian Dog almost rolled off the ground, clutching his head.

Yang Jian glanced at the Xiaotian Dog, "What’s the fuss for, out of the blue?"

The Xiaotian Dog instantly transformed into his humanoid form, "Master, I’m so sorry, my brothers are calling me; I need to take a quick trip."

Yang Jian immediately thought of Xiong Daoren, that blabbermouth, but merely nodded and said, "Go ahead."

With a somersault, the Xiaotian Dog arrived in the mortal world and then looked at the Three Demons with an arrogant expression, raising his chin, "What’s up now? It’s taken you this long to think of me?"

Xiong Daoren rubbed his hands together, "Ah, I’m really sorry, brothers were only thinking of escaping at that time. Look at you, your awakened Divine Skills are so powerful, you even managed to escape on your own, truly admirable!"

Xiaotian Dog wanted to slap him on the head, "Admirable? Do you have any idea how I escaped from there?"

"No matter what method you used, you did escape, right? And considering how powerful you are, even such powerful ones couldn’t deal with you." Xiong Daoren said with flattery.

"Hmph, you guys are only good at sweet-talking." Xiaotian Dog snorted.

Turning his head back, Xiong Daoren gave Roc Demon King a look, and in an instant, as if by magic, Roc Demon King conjured up two boxes from his hand.

The small box contained a dark substance, dabbed with chili on the lid of the box, which Xiong Daoren offered to Xiaotian Dog as if presenting a treasure.

"A modest gift, please don’t take it to heart." Xiong Daoren said.

Xiaotian Dog looked at the box with some disdain, "What’s this? What’s inside? Why does it look so strange? Don’t try to fool me with some trash you picked up from the roadside."

"How could this be trash!" Xiong Daoren exclaimed, surprised, "Do you know what this is? This is personally made by Shopkeeper Chen, spicy rabbit and chilled rabbit meat; it’s an entire rabbit!"

"Rabbit?" Xiaotian Dog took the box, smelled the aroma carefully, and indeed, it was richly fragrant. Although it looked like there was a lot of chilies, it wasn’t choking at all.

"You smell that? Isn’t it fragrant?" Xiong Daoren could tell by Xiaotian Dog’s reaction that he must have caught the scent.

"It is fragrant, but are you sure what’s inside here is an entire rabbit?" Xiaotian Dog was still somewhat skeptical.

How could a rabbit be turned into this dark thing.

"Indeed, it’s an entire rabbit, and it’s not just a whole rabbit. This smaller box on top is filled with three rabbit heads!" Xiong Daoren stated.

"Rabbit heads?" Xiaotian Dog, who had never eaten rabbit heads before, was disdainful, "Do you really take me for a dog? How do you eat rabbit heads?"

You are a dog after all, Xiong Daoren complained inwardly, but his face still bore a smile.

After all, he had come to ask for a favor, and it would have been inappropriate not to present something, "Look, let me show you how to eat this."

As Xiong Daoren spoke, he opened the small box, and the numbingly spicy fragrance wafted out, making the Three Demons and the dog shiver all over.

"See, like this," Xiong Daoren picked up a rabbit head, oriented the mouth upwards, held the upper jaw with one hand and the lower jaw with the other, and with a slight force, the rabbit head split into two halves.

While explaining to Xiaotian Dog, Xiong Daoren prepared to put the rabbit head into his own mouth, "Just like this, first eat the meat inside the upper jaw."

Xiaotian Dog snatched the rabbit head from Xiong Daoren’s hand, "Aren’t you supposed to show me how to eat it? Why are you eating it yourself?"

"I was just about to explain how to eat it!" Xiong Daoren, reluctantly having the rabbit slip from his grasp, had no choice but to lick the residual grease on his hand.

Even just the grease retained the delicious spicy and savory flavor.

Xiaotian Dog had only returned the day before yesterday, and had been in the manor without going out, so he was not aware of the situation with the rabbit.

Initially thinking that Xiong Daoren was just casually giving him something to fob him off, he wanted to clarify.

After realizing Xiong Daoren wasn’t fooling him, Xiaotian Dog put the split rabbit head into his mouth, bones and all, and chewed, "With that said, what did you want me for?"

Truly a dog, the Three Demons watched as Xiaotian Dog gobbled down the rabbit, bones and meat together.

Xiaotian Dog, oblivious to anything wrong, gorged on all three rabbit heads in one go.

After finishing them, smacking his lips, he looked at the other box containing the chilled rabbit, thinking to himself that he would wait and eat that after returning.
