After observing in secret for a while, Jiang Liu had a rough understanding of the Taiji Yin-Yang Pot's "heartfelt" special effect.

In short, there's a taboo in human interaction called "talking deeply on shallow acquaintance."

This "heartfelt" effect seems to unintentionally create an illusion that one has a deeper relationship with others than they actually do, leading them to utter words that they wouldn't normally speak.

For example, Zhu Bajie would not normally speak of his relationship with the Supreme Elder Lord, but today, he involuntarily talked about it.

For instance, Sha Wujing had never thought about integrating into the Journey to the West for Scriptures team, but suddenly he felt somewhat guilty and even took the initiative to strike up a conversation, something he wouldn't normally do.

Then there's Sun Wukong; maybe he has some rapport with Zixia, but regarding matters that would embarrass him, he would never speak of them, but today, he seemed to have the interest to talk...

Jiang Liu was vigilant about this effect in advance, so he did not say anything inappropriate, which made him quite relieved afterward.

Well, to put it simply, this Taiji Yin-Yang Pot is a bit uncanny.

In a previous life, the dinner table was the best means to close the distance between people, which is why dining culture was so popular then

However, this Hot-Clear Pot seems to be able to catalyze and even greatly magnify that effect!

Actually, it's not just Sun Wukong and the others, even Jiang Liu himself feels as if his rapport with his several disciples has deepened. In fact, while he was inquiring about Sha Wujing's situation, an idea even flashed through his mind.

That is, if he can't complete the task of kicking Sha Wujing out of the Journey to the West Team, it seems there wouldn't be any punishment! If there's no problem, why not keep him!?

In short, after having Zhu Bajie and the others tidy up the bowls and the Hot-Clear Pot, Jiang Liu recalled the idea he had at the dinner table and felt secretly alarmed.

Unconsciously affecting others' emotions, the effect of this Hot-Clear Pot is indeed somewhat similar to the Buddhist Sect's methods of inducing demon possession.

It's also fortunate that he was on guard in advance, so he restrained himself, and even the words he hesitated to say, he forcefully kept to himself.

Now that he thinks about it, if he wasn't beforehand vigilant, perhaps he would really have opened up to Sha Wujing, revealing his true plan to lead everyone to overthrow the Heavenly Deities and Buddhists?

Although at the dinner table, he specifically asked Sha Wujing, if he had some private matters that he didn't want Tathagata to know about, would he tell Tathagata?

At that time, Sha Wujing hesitated, wavering between speaking out and not.

But that was under the effect of being heartfelt!

Normally, without the effect of heartfelt interaction, would Sha Wujing still hesitate!? Clearly, he would definitely tell Tathagata!

At this thought, Jiang Liu felt secretly alarmed, thankful that he could see the attributes of the Hot-Clear Pot.

At the same time, Jiang Liu also felt an urgency in his heart; having Sha Wujing stay in the team was indeed detrimental.

It's no good, he must find a way to kick him out of the Journey to the West Team as soon as possible!

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Bajie and the others quickly finished tidying up the bowls and utensils, and seeing Jiang Liu in a ponderous mood, Sun Wukong approached and asked.

"Oh, nothing much, I was just thinking about where the demon creature that kidnapped Princess Baihua Xiu could be!" Hearing Sun Wukong's inquiry, Jiang Liu casually found an excuse to answer.

"Huh? Do you know my mother?"

However, following Jiang Liu's words, suddenly an immature voice rang out from outside the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, calling in.

"What's the situation!?" Hearing someone shouting from outside, Jiang Liu and the others were slightly startled.

As they were surprised, they saw a child walk in.

The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, wearing a garment sewn from the pelts of some unknown animals, with clear eyes and an elegant appearance. Hands in his pockets and a twig in his mouth, he had a trailblazing and extremely cool demeanor as he walked in.

"What did you say just now, child? Princess Baihua Xiu is your mother!?" Seeing the child entering, Jiang Liu was silent for a moment before asking.

"Hmm, this house is quite nice, although much smaller than my home, but everything is quite exquisite. I hadn't expected there to be such a nice house here!"

Though only a seven or eight-year-old child, with a blustering cool manner, the child looked around and seemed quite satisfied with the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, giving his candid appraisal, like a little adult.

"You little scamp! Didn't you hear my master talking?" Seeing the child's irrelevant answers, Zhu Bajie, considering himself Jiang Liu's top henchman, was the first to stand up, speaking with a lack of good cheer.

"Crashing into someone's mansion, huh? Hm, you pig-headed one makes a point!"

Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, the child nodded in agreement as if he found it reasonable, then continued, "So what? From now on, this Immortal Mansion is mine! All of you get out of here!"

"You little brat, are you dreaming!?" Seeing the child's insolent words, Sun Wukong, next to him who found the whole situation amusing, couldn't help but laugh and said.

"Hey, you monkey, such lack of insight. I'm an Innate Taoist Body, a talent born to this world. It's your fortune that I've taken a liking to your mansion. Hand it over quickly, else you'll risk this Young Master cracking your monkey skull!"

Hearing Sun Wukong's words, the child pointed at Sun Wukong and cursed back at him.

```

But the juvenile speech did not convey any sense of authority. Instead, it just made people laugh.

"Oh, you want to smash I, Old Sun's head, huh? Give it a try!" Sun Wukong, confident in his skills, chuckled upon hearing this and even stretched his head forward.

"Then don't blame me for not being polite, Young Master!" Seeing Sun Wukong in such a state, the child gulped, tried to bolster his courage, and spoke up.

As he spoke, he lifted his little fists and smashed them down toward Sun Wukong's head.

With a 'bang,' Sun Wukong's head, which was tougher than refined iron, didn't budge at all.

Instead, the child clutched his own hand, crying out in pain and looking at Sun Wukong with a mix of shock and anger, exclaiming, "Is your monkey head made of iron? It's so hard!"

"Heh heh heh, didn't you say you were going to smash I, Old Sun's head? What's the matter? Don't have the ability?" Hearing the child's words of shock and anger, Sun Wukong chuckled, mockingly asking.

"Hmph, don't get cocky! See how awesome I am!" The child retorted angrily to Sun Wukong's mockery.

In the midst of speaking, he raised his hand, and immediately a pair of delicate and mini hammers appeared in his hands, saying, "You monkey, dare you try my Mountain Crushing Hammer?"

"Stop the nonsense; bring out whatever moves you have!" Hearing the child talk about using weapons, Sun Wukong almost laughed, impatiently responding.

"Then I won't hold back!" The child bit his teeth, raised the iron hammer, and smashed it down toward Sun Wukong's head again.

With a 'thud,' it was as if he had struck steel rather than flesh and blood.

The iron hammer fell heavily and bounced high, leaving the child's hands tingling with numbness, and his heart was alarmed.

Was this monkey's head really that hard?

"Character panel!"

Jiang Liu didn't interfere with Sun Wukong and the child's playful scuffle. From the child's recent words, Jiang Liu could roughly guess his identity. His gaze rested on the child as he silently called up in his heart.

Immediately, a translucent character panel appeared in front of Jiang Liu.

ID: Wolf-Chasing Boy (Blue).

Gender: Male.

Profession: Demi Immortal.

Level: 41.

Equipment: Mountain Crushing Hammer (Perfect Level): ...

"Wolf-Chasing Boy? That name is quite interesting. Also, Demi Immortal? So he's half-human, half-immortal? It seems that he really is the child of the Yellow-Robed Monster and Princess Baihua Xiu?"

"But how old is this child, to have reached Level 41?!" After seeing the child's character panel, Jiang Liu silently marveled.

Looking at the child, just seven or eight years old, but already achieving Level 41—if judged by the cultivation level of human cultivators, that would be comparable to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

So, having a good father combined with the advantage of an Innate Taoist Body, he could achieve such accomplishment?

This truly made countless cultivators and demons blush with shame.

Level 41, and the character panel was blue. Although it seemed trivial in front of Sun Wukong, being merely a toy for mockery, it had to be admitted that the bratty child's boastful words did have some substance.

Thud, thud, thud!

Leaving Jiang Liu's thoughts aside, the playful tussle between Sun Wukong and the bratty child continued. Regardless of the child pounding his dainty hammers on Sun Wukong's head forty-nine times, until his hands were numb from vibration.

Looking at Sun Wukong, he was still completely unharmed, not even a single monkey hair damaged.

"Heh heh heh, little brat, your strength is a bit weak. It's not even enough to tickle your Grandpa Sun. Now, how about I, Old Sun, give you a hit?" Sun Wukong chuckled, offering after the child had pummeled him forty-nine times and was gasping for air.

"I, I..." Watching Sun Wukong emerge unscathed, the bold-talking brat stepped back in horror, looking at Sun Wukong.

"What? You don't dare?" Sun Wukong asked with amusement, mockingly teasing.

"Come on, let's do it! Stop beating around the bush!" Although there was some fear and caution in his eyes, the brat didn't intend to run away but stood his ground defiantly, saying.

"Heh heh heh, then I, Old Sun, won't hold back!" Sun Wukong responded with a laugh.

Then he bent a finger and approached the brat, flicking him gently on the forehead.
