Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Watching the appearance of Sun Wukong, the Yellow-Robed Monster felt a natural sense of gravity in his heart. If possible, he did not wish to get involved with such a person.

After all, this was someone with formidable strength who dared to challenge the Jade Emperor himself.

Yet, without any reason, he couldn't simply turn away a guest, could he? After all, a visitor who comes is a guest, especially one brought by his own son.

"Since he is my son's friend, then let him stay in my cave for the time being. I will prepare a feast to treat you all later!" the Yellow-Robed Monster said, sounding very enthusiastic.

One reason was that one does not strike a smiling face; he hoped by treating them warmly, they would not find faults.

Secondly, he also hoped to hasten their departure by feasting them soon.

"Thank you, Great King, for your hospitality!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu responded with a humble and polite nod.

Following the Yellow-Robed Monster's order, the cave was quickly filled with fruits, vegetables, and delicious wines, looking quite lavish.

The Yellow-Robed Monster's household of three naturally played host, with even Princess Baihua Xiu dressing in beautiful gowns, playing the gracious hostess, and during the feast, she personally offered Jiang Liu two cups of wine.

"My son is mischievous; I thank you masters for taking care of him last night!" seeing Jiang Liu, the Monk, indifferent to meat and wine, Princess Baihua Xiu raised her cup and said.

Clearly, what her son did last night, Princess Baihua Xiu and the Yellow-Robed Monster had also inquired about once.

"It's nothing. I see Wukong and your child seem to have taken a liking to each other! It was no trouble at all!" Jiang Liu also raised his cup and drank it all at once.

He spoke the truth; he could tell that Sun Wukong indeed liked the cool and tough demeanor of Wolf-Chasing Boy.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong would not have spent time playing and joking with the child.

"The Great Sage has taken a liking to my child; that's his good fortune!" the Yellow-Robed Monster said to Sun Wukong.

"Oh? You know I, Old Sun!?" Hearing the Yellow-Robed Monster's words, Sun Wukong, his face full of glee, said smilingly.

Wherever he went, people recognized him, calling out to him as Great Sage, which naturally made Sun Wukong very happy.

"Oh? Father, do you know this monkey?" hearing his father's words, Wolf-Chasing Boy curiously asked the Yellow-Robed Monster.

Wolf-Chasing Boy didn't know Sun Wukong's status, but he had tested Sun Wukong's capabilities last night, using all his might yet unable to inflict the slightest harm. His skills were terrifyingly formidable.

"Of course I know him!"

The Yellow-Robed Monster nodded his head, unclear whether he was answering Sun Wukong or his son, and said, "Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. Even if the Great Jade Emperor dispatched a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, they could not subdue him, the one who dared to cause Havoc in Heaven.

In all the Three Realms and Six Paths, anyone slightly knowledgeable has heard of the Great Sage's name!"

"Hahaha, indeed, you demon creature, you are quite knowledgeable, not wrong!" Hearing the Yellow-Robed Monster's praise, Sun Wukong nodded delightfully, feeling quite pleased with the Yellow-Robed Monster's compliments.

Indeed, any somewhat knowledgeable person should have heard of I, Old Sun's name; otherwise, it would mean their knowledge was insufficient.

"Whoa? I had no idea! So you, monkey, you are so formidable!?" Wolf-Chasing Boy, appearing somewhat astonished and admiring, looked at Sun Wukong.

Clearly, the cool and tough boy also had a restless spirit. Now hearing that Sun Wukong dared to cause Havoc in Heaven and that even a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals could not capture him, it kindled some admiration in Wolf-Chasing Boy.

Like him, to be unrestrained and act on impulse, isn't that it!?

"Amitabha Buddha..." Although the atmosphere seemed quite pleasant, Jiang Liu quietly chanted a Buddha's name, his gaze falling on Princess Baihua Xiu, and said, "When I was on my way here, I happened to pass through the Royal City of the King of Treasure Elephant Country where I saw that the Imperial List was posted everywhere in the city, stating that the King of the Treasure Elephant Country has persisted for over a decade, seeking a sage to bring the princess back home!"

With a clatter following Jiang Liu's words, Princess Baihua Xiu's wine cup dropped on the table, she froze, tears welling and then rolling down from her eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong!?" Seeing the state of Princess Baihua Xiu, Wolf-Chasing Boy, somewhat bewildered, spoke to Baihua Xiu.

"Master, please refrain from speaking of the affairs of the Treasure Elephant Country!" Seeing his wife's condition, the Yellow-Robed Monster also felt a surge of anger, but with Sun Wukong and his party nearby, he did not dare to take action and just darkened his expression, saying to Jiang Liu.

"Ah, Great King, do you think you and Princess Baihua Xiu can keep things going like this, and it will last long!?" Facing the Yellow-Robed Monster's words, Jiang Liu remained fearless, looked him directly in the eye, and sighed as he asked in return.

"As the saying goes, even an honest official struggles to settle domestic affairs, this is my family matter, please do not interfere!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Yellow-Robed Monster also realized that he was specifically targeted, not merely invited home as a guest by his son, and his expression grew even uglier.

"You demon creature, so it was you who abducted the princess of the Treasure Elephant Country!"

As the discussion reached this point, the situation seemed to become clear as day. As Jiang Liu's top henchman, Zhu Bajie slammed the table and rose to his feet, shouting angrily.

"I, Old Pig, can't stand fellows like you the most! If there's a girl you fancy, just pursue her properly. What is this about abducting someone directly? What kind of behavior is that!"

"So, your purpose is to take my wife away? So you've come here to start trouble!"

Seeing Zhu Bajie's aggressive stance, the Yellow-Robed Monster waved his hand and a knife appeared in it, glaring at Jiang Liu and the others as he spoke.

Naturally, as confrontation became inevitable, many Little Demons surrounded them from within the cave, their eyes unfriendly as they stared at Jiang Liu and his group.

"Master, Monkey, you, you've deceived me!?" Seeing his own father getting ready to take action, the Wolf-Chasing Boy also glared at Jiang Liu and the others, shouting angrily, feeling deceived.

He had kindly invited them to visit the cave, but had they actually deceived him?

Sun Wukong, however, had no intention of starting a fight. Facing the look from Wolf-Chasing Boy, he seemed somewhat embarrassed to meet his gaze and simply turned his head, looking towards Jiang Liu, obviously waiting for Jiang Liu's decision.

"Bajie, put away your weapon!" Seeing the angry expression on Wolf-Chasing Boy's face, Jiang Liu sighed softly inside and then spoke to Zhu Bajie.

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie didn't have much to say, still looking somewhat disgruntled as he put away his Supreme Treasure Golden Rake.

As someone who aspired to become a Casanova, Zhu Bajie naturally detested methods like those of the Yellow-Robed Monster, which involved forcefully seizing women without any finesse.

"Indeed, as I said, do you think you can really last with Princess Baihua Xiu like this?" After Zhu Bajie had put away his weapon, Jiang Liu's eyes turned to the Yellow-Robed Monster, continuing to inquire.

"Whether it can last or not, we've lived together for over a decade and have had our own child! I don't seek eternity, just to cherish the present," the Yellow-Robed Monster replied earnestly, feeling somewhat relieved that Jiang Liu hadn't resorted to violence, as he gazed intently back at him.

"A decade has passed, has Princess Baihua Xiu ever visited her home? The heart is made of flesh; keeping her imprisoned here like this, could she possibly be happy? Shouldn't love consider the needs of the other?" Jiang Liu pointed at Princess Baihua Xiu, who was weeping beside them, and asked the Yellow-Robed Monster.

These words caused the Yellow-Robed Monster to pause for a moment. He turned his head to glance at his wife, finding himself at a loss for words.

Indeed, having locked her up here for over a decade without a single visit home, it was only natural for her to miss her home, wasn't it?

However, although he felt a bit guilty, having acted this way for over a decade, the Yellow-Robed Monster was naturally not going to soften his heart just because of a few sentences from Jiang Liu.

"Hmph, Master, don't you think you're meddling too much? This is my family matter. I will make my own decisions, and I don't need an outsider like you interfering!" Shaking his head, the Yellow-Robed Monster put aside his brief moment of softness, staring seriously at Jiang Liu.

As of today, for the Yellow-Robed Monster, his home had become a stable sanctuary where he lived with his child.

This home, the Yellow-Robed Monster would never let it fall apart.

"Great King, I have your best interests at heart!" Seeing the stubbornness of the Yellow-Robed Monster, Jiang Liu sighed helplessly and shook his head.

Such infatuation was indeed admirable, but such actions, in Jiang Liu's eyes, were extremely foolish!

The Yellow-Robed Monster was a leader among the Star Abodes in heaven, a single day in heaven equating to a year on earth. Him disappearing for just over a dozen days didn't matter much.

But if this continued for the long term, an inevitable day of reckoning would come. Could it be he didn't know what the repercussions would be?

"If you are thinking of starting a fight, then let's make it clear, but if you truly have my best interests at heart, I advise you to leave now!" the Yellow-Robed Monster stated earnestly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Liu.

"All right, we'll set aside Princess Baihua Xiu's issue for now!"

Ignoring the Yellow-Robed Monster's attempt to dismiss him, Jiang Liu continued staring intently at him, pressing on: "Let's talk about your problem. Do you think you can stay in the Mortal World forever? If your actions come to light, what do you think the consequences will be?!"

"I!?" Jiang Liu's words startled the Yellow-Robed Monster, his eyes filled with shock as he stared back at Jiang Liu.

"Master, who exactly are you!? Do you know my identity!?"

"Wolf-Chasing Boy has good aptitude, half-human, half-immortal, and he possesses an Innate Taoist Body!" Instead of directly answering the Yellow-Robed Monster's question, Jiang Liu brought up Wolf-Chasing Boy's qualities.

"Half-human? Half-immortal?" This statement made Sun Wukong and the others shift their gaze between Baihua Xiu and the Yellow-Robed Monster.

Half-human naturally came from Baihua Xiu's lineage.

And half-immortal...
