Chapter 141: Dinner Time [Third Update]
Now look what's happened, Tang Sanzang was sent flying deep into the starry sky with a punch by Tang Sanzang himself. Looks like the mission to retrieve the scriptures is off the table now.
Suddenly, everyone felt the urge to curse up a storm.
They didn't want any trouble; they just wanted to wrap things up quickly and head home for a warm meal.
Just when they thought they had dealt with one troublesome baldy, another popped up.
Now look what's happened, Tang Sanzang was thrown deep into the starry sky. How are they supposed to retrieve the scriptures now?
By the time he comes back, it'll probably be his next life.
With that, the grand plan of retrieving the scriptures at Mount Ling has certainly gone bankrupt. When the time comes, Mount Ling in its fury will definitely need a scapegoat.
A few people exchanged glances, then took another look at that super thug of a baldy below and instantly felt bitter.
They didn't even need to think about it; they were most likely the scapegoat.
After all, that baldy below was way too fierce.
Thinking about this, they really felt like crying but had no tears to shed.
They were also baffled by when exactly he had joined their group without them noticing a thing!
"Are there no scheming baldies in the world!" The Monkey King grumbled to himself.
But that was a problem for later; first, they had to deal with the big baldy at hand.
So, after exchanging looks, the Demon Kings shouted in unison, "The holy monk has boundless mana, we admire him. In this instance, we lose, let's call it a draw overall!"
Tang Sanzang cocked his head and said very dissatisfied, "A draw..."
Then he looked at his big iron pot, water inside it already boiling. But it was empty, and he wasn't happy about it!
Cold sweat slowly slid off the foreheads of the Demon Kings in the sky...
And not just them, the demons who came with them were also secretly wiping off their sweat...
A deadly silence fell between heaven and earth; no one dared to make a sound.
Just as everyone was about to buckle under this intangible pressure, a roar came from the horizon, "Sun Wukong! Where do you think you're going!"
Everyone turned towards the sound, only to see the Radiance King chasing the Six-Eared Macaque back.
With a weeping tone, the Six-Eared Macaque ran furiously toward them, shouting as he ran, "Big brother, if you're human, just admit it already. This woman is crazy!"
The Radiance King swung his lantern at the Six-Eared Macaque, hitting him repeatedly and eliciting continuous screams...
It couldn't be helped; the Radiance King's lantern hit the soul directly, making it tremble with even the slightest touch, regardless of how tough one's body was...
Otherwise, the Six-Eared Macaque's skills would not have let him suffer so deeply.
Moreover, the Radiance King's methods perfectly countered the Six-Eared Macaque, leaving him truly helpless...
Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque being beaten so miserably, Sun Wukong finally stood up and exclaimed, "Sun Wukong, if you're going to take a beating, don't drag me into it... I swear, I am not as tough as you."
"I... fuck your uncle!"
The Six-Eared Macaque couldn't help but curse loudly.
But the next moment, he was caught up by the Radiance King, who hit him on the head with another lantern!
Helpless, the Six-Eared Macaque could only continue to run furiously...
And so, everyone watched as the two ran past them again and disappeared...
With all this commotion, the mood had lightened up quite a bit.
Sun Wukong said, "Master, it indeed was a draw. Everyone tried their best, and there's nothing we can do about it. How about we just let this go?"
Tang Sanzang didn't reply, only staring at that big iron pot...
Sun Wukong rubbed his brow and looked up at the Demon King.
The Demon King immediately understood and hurriedly shouted, "Holy monk, we brothers came to see you and have prepared a small gift for you, please kindly accept it."
After speaking, the Demon King glanced at a few crab spirits, turtle spirits, shrimp spirits, and a devil fish spirit in the pile of monsters!
Then, without another word, he waved his giant hand and directly grabbed them!
These monsters had a very heavy murderous aura, and they often destroyed cities and villages.
Normally, the Demon King couldn't be bothered to deal with them, but now it was time to make an offering to save his own life, so he naturally brought them out as a sacrifice.
The four senior monsters immediately cried out, "Demon King, you can't do this!"
The Demon King didn't care about that at all and directly morphed them back into their original form, then threw them downward.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Four loud thuds, and four mountain-sized giant seafood slammed onto the ground.
Tang Sanzang, looking at these senior monsters that had been fiery for at least two or three years, said with an embarrassed face, "Ah... you youngsters, coming is enough, why bring any gifts?"
Sun Wukong quickly said, "Master, it's just a little token from your own brothers; you should accept it."
Tang Sanzang said, "I see… well… then as your teacher, I will reluctantly accept it."
Upon hearing this, several Demon Kings immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Sanzang waved to the Demon King and others and said, "Since you are here, let's have a meal together."
Upon hearing this, one Demon King immediately smiled, just about to agree when he suddenly caught a glimpse of coldness in the monk's eyes...
The Demon King quickly grabbed him and hurriedly said, "Holy monk, I just remembered, my wife is giving birth today, so we won't bother you now. We'll accompany you another time..."
Tang Sanzang said with a look of pity, "Ah, that's the case, then I won't keep you. Be careful on the road."
Without another word, the Demon King turned around and ran off with his people.
The other Demon Kings weren't foolish and immediately understood the implication.
This monk wanted to have the delicacy all to himself!
So they stepped forward one by one, saying, "Holy monk, I rushed out and left my food stewing at home, so I'm leaving first."
"Holy monk, look at the wind picking up, I fear it's going to rain. I had just hung out clothes to dry when I left, so I need to go back and get them."
"Holy monk, I didn't secure my dog at home, need to check on him before he tears the house apart, I'll take leave first."
...
With the four Demon Kings leading, the rest of the monsters also found various reasons to bid farewell and leave.
Just then, what was once a sky-darkening army of monsters turned into a clear sky extending for miles, without a single monster hair in sight.
Tang Sanzang sighed and said, "Ah, I wanted to host a feast for everyone to eat, drink, and be merry together. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right… Wukong, you see, it's not that your teacher is stingy, they truly didn't have the time."
What could Sun Wukong say? He nodded vigorously, saying, "Right, right, right... Master is right."
Eventually, the master and disciples sat down and feasted once again.
Just then, the Six-Eared Macaque came back, saw everyone eating and screamed, "Big Brother, you are still eating seafood hotpot?! Don't go too far!"
Bam!
A gourd hit him on the head, making the Six-Eared Macaque scream in pain and continue running.
Thus, on the journey to the West, several faux monks were eating seafood hotpot, while two monkeys occasionally passed by...
Three days later.
The group satisfied themselves with food and drinks, and the Six-Eared Macaque came back with his head full of bumps.
