Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 691: The Domineering Zhu Bajie

"Could it be? I, Old Pig, am aware of the core of this girl-chasing skill yet will never be able to learn it in my lifetime?"

The just recently excited Zhu Bajie, upon this thought, began to pity and resent himself.

Let's not speak of what Zhu Bajie was thinking, Sha Wujing next to him looked at Zhu Bajie's demeanor with surprise, feeling very strange and not understanding what was going through his second brother's mind. Why was he so excited one moment and then suddenly looking so emotionally wounded?

"Mysterious Bird Benefactor, please don't be like this, as within my heart there is still one who I hold dear..." Watching Mysterious Bird's relentless behavior, Jiang Liu shook his head firmly.

He had seen his fair share of female demons who coveted his body, so he knew well enough how to deal with them.

"Holy Monk, I understand, your heart truly holds affection, it's just that you're too shy to admit it, there's no need to lie to me!"

Regardless of how much Jiang Liu rejected her, the Mysterious Bird remained unmoved and continued to speak to Jiang Liu with a beaming smile.

"Amitabha, I ask Mysterious Bird Benefactor to have self-respect, otherwise do not blame me for being discourteous!" Pronouncing a Buddha's name, Jiang Liu's expression grew much more serious.

"Alright, alright..." Seeing Jiang Liu getting to the brink of anger, Mysterious Bird sighed with a bit of helplessness and took a couple of steps back.

"Although Holy Monk, you may not fancy me, I, on the other hand, fancy you a lot, and I hope you can give me a chance to follow you, to do whatever I can for you!" Mysterious Bird's expression also turned much more serious as she earnestly spoke to Jiang Liu.

"If you truly feel this way, you may take a trip to Flame Cloud Entertainment City to meet Demon King Ox and his son!" Jiang Liu pondered for a brief moment before responding to Mysterious Bird's demeanor.

No matter if Mysterious Bird truly wished to submit to him or not, and regardless of other concerns, advising her to find Demon King Ox and his son would be the right move.

Sending powerful individuals to Flame Cloud Entertainment City in droves, whether they could retain such individuals, that would be left to the methods of Demon King Ox and his son.

"Flame Cloud Entertainment City?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Mysterious Bird slightly tilted her head, looking at Jiang Liu with surprise.

"Yes, that's right, Flame Cloud Entertainment City!" Nodding emphatically, Jiang Liu affirmed.

While talking to Mysterious Bird, Jiang Liu was actually feeling quite urgent inside.

As the time of Soul Demon's death was inching closer to an hour, he had no time to spare chatting with Mysterious Bird; it was better to find a way to send her away quickly.

"Okay, Holy Monk, I understand, then I will go have a look at Flame Cloud Entertainment City!"

Hearing Jiang Liu's definitive words, Mysterious Bird cocked her head in thought. The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was destined to head towards Western Heaven for Scriptures. If he really was making an excuse to send her away, she would come back to find them.

After nodding her head, Mysterious Bird leapt into the air, transforming into a large black bird and flew towards the direction of the Flame Cloud Cave.

Phew...

Jiang Liu watched as Mysterious Bird took off, feeling a wave of relief wash over him; she had finally left.

Then, looking at the sky where the sun was already setting in the west, he said, "Oh dear, it's getting late. Disciples, we might as well sit down and rest a bit, shall we?"

Speaking, Jiang Liu took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion and tossed it onto the ground, creating an Immortal Mansion before diving straight into it.

"Huh? Is it getting late?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong and the others gazed up at the sky, somewhat bewildered.

The sun was indeed setting in the west, but it was only the afternoon, right? To wait until dark, wouldn't it take at least two or three Chinese Hours? Yet Master said it was getting late?

Although they were puzzled in their hearts, Sun Wukong and the others didn't say much.

On the Journey to the West, Master acting like this wasn't the first time, so it seemed there was nothing to be surprised about?

"Bajie, take out your golden body, and make it quick!" Once they entered the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Jiang Liu promptly addressed Zhu Bajie.

"My golden body?" Bajie didn't understand why Master was in a hurry for his golden body, but he didn't ask further. As for Master's words, he naturally obeyed unconditionally, so he directly took out his golden body.

Without any fuss, Jiang Liu pointed at Zhu Bajie's golden body, and the skill of the Soul-Returning Spell landed directly on it.

Visible to the naked eye, the health bar of Zhu Bajie's golden body, which was empty before, now restored a small portion.

As the health bar replenished, it wasn't long before Zhu Bajie's golden body's fingers twitched, followed by his eyes slowly opening.

There was a bewildered look in his eyes, clearly not understanding what was happening.

"Master, you can actually use my golden body to resurrect this evil demon!?" Although Bajie knew long ago about Master's resurrection ability, seeing his own golden body opening its eyes and the demon creature that stole his body being revived, Bajie still felt secretly astonished.

"Is it you...?" Looking at Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong around him, the Soul Demon's consciousness slowly came back, remembering its defeat and near-death clarity, trembling inside, and with a bowed head, not daring to resist at all.

"Soul Demon, is it?" Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon the Soul Demon, without any intention of wasting words, he directly asked.

"Yes, Holy Monk, I am the Soul Demon..." nodding slightly, the Soul Demon replied.

"I'll ask you, why did you try to steal Marshal Tianpeng's golden body from the Heavenly Court?"

After receiving a direct response from the Soul Demon, Jiang Liu didn't mince words and asked straightforwardly about what he wanted to know.

"Ah!? Holy Monk, have you, perhaps, misunderstood something?" However, hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Soul Demon raised his head, looking at Jiang Liu with an astonished expression, completely baffled.

"Misunderstood? Has this humble monk misunderstood anything?" Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, questioning in return.

"You demon, caught red-handed and still trying to argue!?" Zhu Bajie, hearing the Soul Demon's words, also became annoyed, shouting angrily.

"No, no, there's a misunderstanding!" Alarmed by Zhu Bajie's words, the Soul Demon's expression changed, hurrying to say.

"Although I did indeed steal Marshal Tianpeng's golden body, but this body wasn't stolen from the Heavenly Court, ah!" the Soul Demon vociferously defended.

"Not from the Heavenly Court? Then where did you steal it from!" Jiang Liu asked, pressing for an answer.

"Holy Monk, you are unaware, but I was subdued by Maitreya Buddha eight hundred years ago and confined in the underground prison of Eastern Temple!"

"A few days ago, by a stroke of luck, I escaped from the underground prison of Maitreya Buddha. Just so happens I saw this golden body was quite useful to me, so I stole it along the way!"

"Eastern Temple, the place of Maitreya Buddha!?" Upon this news, everyone from the Scripture Seeking Team was slightly surprised.

"Is it really so?"

This news, though it made Jiang Liu a bit astonished, after pondering for a moment, he seemed to think it made sense.

Maitreya Buddha is now in charge of the overall coordination of the Journey to the West. Simply put, the ninety-nine eighty-one trials of the Journey to the West are arranged by Maitreya Buddha, right?

Therefore, these events being covertly arranged by Maitreya Buddha seem reasonable?

However, as one of the Three-World Buddhas, first trapping me in Pansi Spider Cave and now committing an act of theft?

It seems that Maitreya Buddha's breadth of spirit and capacity are somewhat lacking after all.

"Well, turns out my golden body was stolen by Maitreya Buddha!?" Zhu Bajie, beside him, didn't share Jiang Liu's expectant mindset. Suddenly hearing the Soul Demon's words and learning of this news, Bajie's face showed even more rage.

As he spoke, Zhu Bajie turned around and strode toward the door, visibly furious.

"Wait, Bajie! Where are you going!?" Seeing Bajie's demeanor, Jiang Liu was startled and asked.

"Where am I going? Of course, I'm going to seek justice from Maitreya Buddha. Without rhyme or reason, he stole my golden body — what was his purpose!?" Responding to the question, Zhu Bajie didn't look back and shouted loudly.

Disgruntled, he even intended to confront Maitreya Buddha for justice?

Zhu Bajie's words left everyone from the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team internally shocked. Since when had Bajie become so domineering?
