Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 499 - 272: Simpleton

The little elephant also seemed especially excited at this moment, mimicking Big Black Donkey with a similar roar, though the sound was slightly immature, it caused even greater fear among the animals.

Seeing this scene, the two creatures, one big, one small, one black, one white, let out proud smiles and drove the already terrified beasts even harder.

Lu Yu touched his forehead with a slightly awkward gesture. He should have thought of it earlier, that the only one who could create such a ruckus in Mountain Luoxia without any restraint was the silly Big Black Donkey.

However, looking at Little White Elephant following behind Big Black Donkey and mimicking him, Lu Yu's forehead was filled with dark lines. This newborn little guy seemed to have learned some crooked ways from the unreliable Big Black Donkey.

With a light flick of his sleeves, the fleeing beasts only felt a darkness before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a new place.

Big Black Donkey and Little White Elephant were having a great time when suddenly, the panicked beasts vanished without a trace, causing the two to rapidly blink, feeling as if they had seen an illusion.

But even as they blinked their eyes sore, those beasts did not reappear before them.

At this, Big Black Donkey immediately became furious and yelled loudly, "Which fellow dares to mess with your Black Lord's hunt, hand over my prey right now!"

After saying this, Big Black Donkey looked around furiously. Little White Elephant, following his lead, also glared angrily around, but unfortunately, being so young, he had no intimidating presence and instead looked a bit cute.

Just then, a tremendous pressure descended from the sky, squarely hitting Big Black Donkey, flattening him to the ground instantly, even leaving an imprint of a fat donkey on the ground.

Big Black Donkey immediately realized he might have kicked the iron plate, and hastily pleaded, "I'm not sure which immortal is passing by, but I accidentally disturbed your mana. I hope you'll be generous and spare me this time. My master is Tea Saint Lu Yu, with vast Divine Skills and powerful mana. Please reconsider your action."

Big Black Donkey's words flowed smoothly as if he had rehearsed them countless times, and Lu Yu was instantly stunned.

The Little White Elephant following behind was also shocked, staring in disbelief at Big Black Donkey, who was proficiently begging for mercy on the ground, unable to believe this was the same formidable Old Demon of Black Mountain.

Big Black Donkey, seeing Little White Elephant's expression, understood that his recently cultivated image of an expert had completely shattered.

However, he still put on the demeanor of an experienced elder, and said solemnly to Little White Elephant, "This is called knowing the current affairs as wise. There's no shame in surrendering if you can't win. We must learn to judge the situation. That's true strength."

At this moment, Little White Elephant didn't quite believe Big Black Donkey and still looked skeptically at the boastful donkey, as if waiting for his next words.

Seeing this, Big Black Donkey sighed slightly. He knew his loyal follower seemed to have lost trust in him, but he still pressed on, "Sigh, I see you're still too young. Once upon a time, I too was an ambitious young demon, always ready to face difficulties head-on. But after being trashed by life, I realized that this world is illusory, everything is but a fleeting dream. Why obsess over it when you can relax and let go?"

Big Black Donkey began a lengthy discourse, seemingly to prove to Little White Elephant that his compliance was not out of cowardice, but a transcendent realm of detachment. However, no matter how Lu Yu listened, he felt this fellow was off-topic, simply spouting nonsense.

Yet, Little White Elephant was utterly captivated by Big Black Donkey's speech. He suddenly realized that his leader was truly grand, a genuine hermit, a trustworthy senior to rely on. Accordingly, he copied Big Black Donkey's gesture and lay down next to him, mimicking the surrendering action.

Big Black Donkey quietly touched his own forehead, feeling for the first time that his unreliable master's leftover books were truly powerful. He didn't understand; he merely translated some content directly from the books, and yet it had such an effect. At that moment, it seemed as if a new door was slowly opening for him.

This scene left Lu Yu dumbfounded; this simpleton actually could bluff so well, and Little White Elephant truly was naive. So, he slowly walked towards Big Black Donkey.

At this time, Big Black Donkey was still continuing his lecture, leaving Little White Elephant dazed and continuously nodding, his eyes filled with reverence.

Suddenly, a figure blocked the sunlight descending from the sky, which greatly displeased Big Black Donkey. His words not only impressed Little White Elephant but also made him feel inflated, as if he had become a hermit of the mortal realm in an instant, and the falling sunlight was his emitted wisdom.

But now, someone blocked the light, obstructing his wisdom. Big Black Donkey immediately got angry, "Who's blocking my sunlight, don't you see I'm at a critical moment?"

He looked up to see Lu Yu's face, smiling but not quite smiling, and was extremely startled. He hastily covered his eyes, convinced he had seen wrong. It couldn't be that his own master had appeared beside him.

Before he could compose himself, he heard Lu Yu's mocking voice, "Isn't that the enduring hermit? How do you like playing the role of a mortal?"

Upon hearing this, Big Black Donkey's heart sank. It was over, all the nonsense he had spouted had been heard by his master. What to do, what to do.

Big Black Donkey's heart raced as if he were an ant on a hot pan, having personally experienced his master's tricks. The endless variety of those tricks had terrified him.

"Master, you're really joking. In front of you, who would dare claim to be a hermit? Just give Lao Hei the word, even through fire and water, I will make him know what's what," Big Black Donkey said seriously, while cautiously observing Lu Yu's expression to determine his next move.

However, Lu Yu's face was as impassive as an ancient well, showing no signs of change, which greatly disappointed Big Black Donkey, who felt his usually successful skills had failed.

"Enough with the chatter. Where are Qingyun and the others?" Lu Yu interrupted Big Black Donkey's flattery, asking softly.

"Master, Brother Liu has gone into closed-door cultivation, and Xiao Qi took the two little ones back to the Western Sea for a family visit," Big Black Donkey quickly answered.

This obsequious manner made Little White Elephant on the side stare in shock; he gently rubbed his eyes and sized up Big Black Donkey to confirm that what he was seeing was indeed a donkey and not a dog.
