MTLNOVEL Chapter 621
Moreover, after rushing for half an hour, the pace was incredibly slow, it was completely like a relaxed outing.
At this speed, who knows in what year and month they'll reach the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple and complete this Westward Journey disaster!
At the beginning, Sun Wukong would patiently advise Chen Sanzang, at least to increase the pace a little bit while traveling.
But this guy wouldn't listen, insisting on maintaining quality and standards for three meals a day. Cultivating Immortality? Of course, one should not treat oneself badly. As for Immortals needing to be emotionless, it's all nonsense; isn't the pursuit of longevity for better enjoyment?
So after the monkey advised him three times, he gave up too.
Do whatever you like, I'm done, those baldies in the West can come manage if they want!
For Sun Wukong, the most he did was run small errands and prepare meals three times a day; the rest of the time he was quite free.
After dragging on and off, who knows how much time they spent until they finally arrived at Yingchou River.
The Dragon Clan's aura made the little tiger, serving as a mount, very uncomfortable, feeling hesitant to move forward once they arrived.
Fortunately, Chen Sanzang emitted Buddha Power to appease it, allowing the young tiger to somewhat return to normal.
There's no help for it; the innate dignity pressure from pure Dragon breeds greatly suppresses the bloodlines of ordinary demons.
"Old Chen, do you want to eat Dragon meat?"
Such a strong Dragon aura was sensed by Sun Wukong even before reaching Yingchou River.
After so many days together, the monkey had figured out Chen Sanzang's character, so his first thought wasn't to conquer a Dragon, but rather to consider how to cook the Dragon meat to best unleash its flavor.
It's known that Sun Wukong had mixed in the Heavenly Palace in his days, enjoying dishes like Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow more than once.
He often visited Lord of Stove for free meals and drinks.
As the saying goes, heavenly Dragon meat, earthly donkey meat—now finally encountering a Dragon with pure bloodline, how can one not savor it and pay tribute to the temple of one's organs?
"Little Kongkong, don't mess around. The Dragon Clan is related to the powerful figures behind the poor monk; this Dragon might even be sent deliberately to serve the monk as a bodyguard."
Rolling his eyes, Chen Sanzang already learned some secret info from Old Xi.
Nowadays, even the Ancestral Dragon has joined forces with the powerful figures behind Old Xi, allowing pure Dragon sons and grandsons to be driven by them?
Clearly, the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King, Little White Dragon Ao Lie, was sent as a high-level bodyguard.
In the original story, Ao Lie was quite pitiful, being cuckolded and then called out by his father, sent to the Dragon Stripping Platform, then saved by the Goddess of Mercy, placed in Yingchou River awaiting Tang Sanzang, the Jingren.
Then, due to greed, this guy ate Tang Sanzang's White Horse, leading to the Goddess of Mercy sawing off his dragon horns, stripping his dragon scales, turning him into the White Dragon Horse, ridden by a man.
Truly tragic!
This lifetime's Little White Dragon, though not as miserable as in the original, still couldn't avoid being cuckolded, having his corner wedged by Nine-Headed Snake.
However, he wasn't deposed by his father; instead, a deal was struck, making Ao Lie part of this Westward Journey disaster.
Whether he remains the White Horse for the Jingren or becomes the Jingren's disciple depends on his own fortune.
"Golden Immortal Peak Dragon Clan, yet the aura is unstable, with hidden injuries inside; as a bodyguard, might not be quite fit."
Sun Wukong puckered his mouth, finding it somewhat unimpressive.
"Then shall we eat him, Little Kongkong continue with daily errands and chores?"
Chen Sanzang silently countered.
"Not necessary; even though the power is lacking, making him weak as a bodyguard, he fits perfectly as a runner handling errands and serving people."
Sun Wukong promptly changed his decision.
After all, he's the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Monkey King who once stirred up the Heavenly Palace; how can he do chores every day?
"So pretentious! First capture this young Dragon, then observe it for a while; if there's no problem, train it well. If there is, it can be a reserve food supply, for roasting when feeling lazy."
Chen Sanzang smacked his lips; honestly, he hadn't tasted pure Dragon meat before, no idea how delicious it could be.
"Little Kongkong, how about Dragon meat hotpot today? You go to the Four Seas for some ingredients, after all, you're fast on your feet."
"...Eating Dragon meat hotpot in front of pure Dragon Clan, Old Chen, your heart must be pitch-black!"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, with an unusual hint of tears at the corner of his mouth, and without saying a word, disappeared with a flip.
After being trapped for years, out for a while now, awakened by Chen Sanzang's tempting ideas, he's indeed looking forward to trying Dragon meat.
"Amitabha, dear Dragon Donor, having eavesdropped for so long, won't you come out to meet?"
Regarding Sun Wukong's departure, Chen Sanzang wasn't bothered at all, instead, he disembarked from the young tiger, found a large stone in the shade, pulled out a deck chair, lay on it, and placed several cooking utensils and spices around.
Hiding in the pool within Yingchou River, Little White Dragon Ao Lie's dragon face twisted, revealing a distressed look in his dragon eyes.
He hadn't seen Chen Sanzang's look before but could feel the immense Buddhist Power radiating from him.
Clearly, this monk wasn't a good character.
And the monkey that just flew away, Ao Lie obviously recognized, isn't that Sun Wukong trapped under the Five Elements Mountain?
The name of Great Sage Sun Wukong was quite famous to Ao Lie, especially since his father had given him special instructions when he was sent to Yingchou River.
