Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Looking at such a grotesque lion-monkey creature, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but say with a hint of distaste, "This... looks a bit disgusting... Shall we just twist the head off? This guy is all sinewy meat, should taste not bad."

Upon hearing this, the lion-monkey creature hurriedly cried out, "No no no, don't eat me, esteemed monk, that staff just went down my throat, swallowed quite a bit of saliva..."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang immediately felt queasy and waved his hand, "Can't eat, just kill it then."

The lion-monkey creature was then dragged away by the six-eared macaque...

Shortly after, a scream was heard, and a wisp of soul went to the underworld.

Black and White Impermanence were squatting at the Ghost Gate bragging when they suddenly saw the lion-monkey creature walking over with a disheartened look.

The two quickly got up and said, "Fellow Taoist, why are you here too? Are you looking for your master?"

The lion-monkey creature sighed and said, "Sort of..."

"Well, you're late, he has already reincarnated. But no worries, Buddhism has given notice, you can jump the queue. Would you like to reincarnate now, or wait a while?" Black Impermanence asked.

The lion-monkey creature thought for a moment and said, "Might as well reincarnate now..."

White Impermanence said, "Then, do you have a place in mind?"

"The farther from Mount Ling the better, ideally never to see that baldy in my lifetime!" the lion-monkey creature said.

Black and White Impermanence apparently misunderstood, thinking he meant Manjushri Bodhisattva. After discussing, they reported to the Judge, and after deliberation with the Ten Kings of Hell, finally, King Yama said, "He doesn't want to meet the Bodhisattva? That's a bit troublesome... But since it was his own request, and since the Jade Emperor has also said, 'we grant what is asked,' we really need to arrange this for him. Let's send him to the Dharma-Ending Age to peacefully be a human."

"The Dharma-Ending Age among the Three Thousand Great Worlds?" King Qin Guang exclaimed, "really send him there? Once sent, there would be no coming back."

"Whether he comes back or not, that's for Mount Ling to worry about, we are just fulfilling the lion-monkey creature's request." King Yama said.

Eventually, they decided, and then took the lion-monkey creature to the cycle of reincarnation, sending him off to the Dharma-Ending Age.

...

Meanwhile, on Emerald Cloud Mountain.

Tang Sanzang watched as the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan stood before him. Princess Iron Fan kicked the Bull Demon King, who obediently and respectfully handed over the banana fan, "Esteemed monk, this is the banana fan, you can take it to use it to fan the flames and extinguish the fire at your leisure."

Tang Sanzang cocked his head looking at the Bull Demon King, then said proudly, "When my disciple came to borrow it before, you refused. Now you want to give it to this poor monk, it's not that easy!"

Having said that, Tang Sanzang sat down on a chair, "If you want to give this poor monk the fan, you'll have to show some sincerity."

Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan: "@#￥..."

The two had lived for so long, especially Princess Iron Fan, who had been sought by countless people over the years for the fan, each one coming to plead eagerly. And now, before them, this fellow... actually demanded that they beg to give it to him. This request was too beastly...

Guests had not yet dispersed, and being publicly faced with such a demand, the Bull Demon King felt his face hanging by a thread.

Princess Iron Fan also thought this monk was a bit too much…

Just as the Bull Demon King hesitated about whether to continue, Tang Sanzang yawned and said, "Wujing, these past few days, I've still been craving beef. That soy-braised beef, bring a couple more plates!"

Wujing looked at the Bull Demon King ingenuously and said, "Master, there's not much beef left..."

The Bull Demon King was almost in tears. If there's not much beef left, why are you looking at me?!

Then the Bull Demon King noticed that the bald guy, the two monkeys, a pig, and even that horse were all looking at him!

His legs went weak, and he quickly put on a smile, saying, "Honored monk, could you please just take this banana fan?"

"Oh? Are you begging me?" asked Tang Sanzang.

The Bull Demon King nodded vigorously and said, "Yes... I'm begging you..."

Tang Sanzang yawned and said, "If I agree just because you beg me, where would my dignity be? No way!"

The Bull Demon King was dumbfounded...

Wujing then said, "Master, cooking beef in soy sauce is a bit troublesome, it needs to be marinated for a few hours. Should we prepare some ingredients now?"

The Bull Demon King, noticing that Wujing was addressing him again, got anxious: "General Roller Blind, if you need ingredients, just say so; why are you looking at me?"

Wujing said, "The main thing is that my master has high standards for ingredients, ordinary demons don't suffice. Last time we had your body, it was incredibly tasty. I was thinking if we switched the ingredients, it might not meet my master's expectations... Benefactor, you have divine skills and can resurrect with blood, how about contributing another body?"

The Bull Demon King glared and shrieked, "Damn, are those even human words? Because I lost my original body, I've been significantly weakened, and people have attacked me, barely catching a breath. Now you want me to donate another body? Can't you be a bit more humane?"

Wujing shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I'm a good person. How about donating half a body?"

"Do you think this is a vegetable market where you can haggle? I'm telling you, no way, no chance!" the Bull Demon King continued to roar.

Wujing shrugged and said, "Benefactor, you're too agitated. I'm actually considering your well-being. Half of a body, you'd recover in just a moment. But if you keep arguing with me and my master loses his patience..."

The Bull Demon King shuddered, suddenly turned around, and with a smiley face toward Tang Sanzang, said, "Honored monk, look... Your quest for the True Scriptures to benefit all living beings is not easy, and the journey is long. You're so busy, why don't you quickly take the banana fan and extinguish the fire of Flame Mountain so you can continue your journey west? Let's not waste any more time, shall we?"

Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "No, I want to eat meat."

The Bull Demon King, with teary eyes, looked towards Princess Iron Fan, who also stepped forward and said, "Honored monk, thanks to you, I could reconcile with my husband. I have nothing else to repay you. This banana fan – I'll give it to you to use on your journey to the west to fan yourself and cool down..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang slowly opened his eyes, "Are you giving this to me?"

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King panicked, his physical condition now problematic, likely known to everyone, making their future days tremendously difficult.

Having the banana fan would at least keep some of those guys at bay, but without it, it would be like undressing and waiting for the wolves!

However, Princess Iron Fan insisted, "Yes, I must give it!"

Tang Sanzang laughed, "So, you are giving this to me? I didn't force you, right?"

Princess Iron Fan said, "It's the proper thing to do; how could I say I was forced? Honored monk, please take it."

After saying this, Princess Iron Fan directly placed the fan in Tang Sanzang's hand and then shared the command words with him.

After hearing them, Tang Sanzang smiled happily, casually handed it to Wujing, and said, "Wujing, hold this. Use it to fan me on the road or something."
