Chapter 295: pilgrim

Coiled Silk Ridge, Coiled Silk Cave!

At this moment, the seven stunningly beautiful spider fairies all wore worried expressions.

"Elder sister, what should we do?"

The spider fairy in yellow clothes had a tense little face that had turned somewhat pale.

"Yes, elder sister, if we really can't, let's just move quickly— that Shang Sanzang will soon arrive at our Coiled Silk Ridge!"

The fourth sister in pink clothes urged.

"Fourth sister, is the situation really that serious? If we just close our abode and refuse to come out, I don't believe that pilgrim will still barge into our abode to cause trouble!"

The fifth sister in green clothes said.

"Ah, fifth sister, you don't understand!"

After a long sigh, the second sister in blue clothes, her face full of worry, said: "Even if we close off and don't go out, we might still suffer that undeserved disaster; I heard from the monsters who fled earlier that the Yellow Brow Great King was just a step late, didn't come out of his abode to greet the pilgrim, and was pierced through the shrimp thread by the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly with a spear, dying a miserable death!"

"Yes, the Yellow Brow Great King, I heard he was originally a child attendant of the Eastern Buddha; when the Eastern Buddha came to guard the corpse, he didn't dare say a word, wiping his tears as he left."

The third sister in purple clothes said helplessly.

At that moment, the eldest sister in red clothes shook her head and said: "The Yellow Brow Great King is fine— he died at least without pain; but the Black Bear Demon was torn apart limb from limb by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and I heard they smeared honey on him and roasted him until he smelled delicious!"

"Hmph, really, who knows what those big shots are thinking— the Great Shang wants the Buddhist scriptures, so just let the Buddha send them over; why bother sending a pilgrim, only bringing disaster to us monsters along the way!"

The youngest sister muttered discontentedly.

"Yes, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who caused havoc in Heaven, the Third Prince Nezha, Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly of the Heavenly Court, and the True Lord Erlang, Heavenly Court Judicial God— especially Nezha and Erlang, who participated in the War of Exterminating Saints, how could they be sent on a pilgrimage? Isn't that overkill?"

The sixth sister in orange clothes, rubbing her brow, said: "I think we should just flee; I heard the Nüwa Niangniang is preparing to open her doors to recruit maidens, and with our beauty, we might even be selected."

"Exactly!"

The seventh sister's eyes lit up: "Rumor has it that the Great Sage Equal to Heaven possesses the bloodline of the Nüwa Niangniang; if we become disciples of the Nüwa Palace, we wouldn't have to live in fear like this."

"Huh? How did this rumor spread?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the abode.

In an instant, the seven spider fairies felt their hairs stand on end, almost revealing their true forms.

"Freeze!"

Before the seven spider fairies could react, a pleasant voice sounded.

Immediately, the seven spider fairies discovered they could not move.

In the next moment, a male and female figure appeared before them.

"Who are you?"

The eldest spider fairy steadied herself and asked the newcomer.

"We?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile: "We are here to rescue you from your suffering."

The seven spider fairies did not believe Ao Yifan's words.

After all, who would be a good person who sneaks into the abode of seven yellow-flower fairy demons and immobilizes them without a word?

But the seven spider fairies dared not say those words.

After all, since the other side could easily immobilize them with an immobilization spell, if they wanted their lives, it would be a piece of cake.

"Fellow Daoist, begin now— the power of reincarnation can only sustain twelve hours; we must leave here, otherwise time and space will become chaotic, and we will find it hard to return to our original time and space."

Hou Tu Niangniang said.

"Alright!"

Ao Yifan shrugged; although he was also curious about the sights of the Three Realms in this time and space, helping Hou Tu Niangniang perfect the Six Paths of Reincarnation was more important.

"Begin!"

As Ao Yifan approached the seven spider fairies, instantly the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk enveloped them.

"What do you want to do?"

The seven spider fairies trembled with fear, feeling the terrifying power from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk beneath their feet.

"Take a deep breath, relax, otherwise it will hurt!"

Ao Yifan comforted, saying as he pulled the youngest sister into his embrace.

…

"Ding dong, congratulations host for successfully enabling the seventh spider fairy to bear offspring, reward: cultivation increase of 100,000 years!"

"Ding dong..."

"..."

Time is limited; this time, Ao Yifan fully exerted his efficiency.

When everything ended, the seven spider fairies were dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Not coming to kill them?"

"Fellow Daoist, it's already done!"

Hou Tu Niangniang's face showed a hint of joy; the Six Paths of Reincarnation law now only lacks the Hungry Ghost Path.

When she completes the union of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she can truly step onto the Sage Path.

"That's good then!"

Ao Yifan nodded, then tossed several treasures to the seven spider fairies.

There was no way— during his earlier exploration, Ao Yifan had already confirmed that these seven spider fairies were truly poor, not even possessing a decent treasure.

For monsters to have sunk to this state is truly pitiful.

The treasures Ao Yifan produced were the payments given by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the Fire Spirit Holy Mother when they sought him; although he himself didn't think much of them, in the eyes of the seven spider fairies they were indeed formidable treasures.

"Hmph, don't even think about using treasures to bribe us; what you've done to us, we won't forget!"

Seventh Sister said, but she held a fire-attribute immortal sword in her hand, with no intention of letting go.

The other spider demons were likewise.

"All right, these magic treasures I'm leaving for you to protect yourselves; as for the matter of the pilgrims, I'll take care of it."

Ao Yifan said, and then took Hou Tu Niangniang away from the cave dwelling.

He was also curious, after all these years, just how much his children had grown.

Of course, what he mainly wanted was to see what that mischievous monkey was like.

……

"Disciples, your master has returned from begging!"

In a ruined temple at the foot of a mountain, Shang Sanzang came running back with a pile of fruit and dry rations.

"Why so slow?"

Ne Zha said unhappily: "Are you slacking off again?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Sanzang, who was handing out dry rations to several people, shuddered and said: "Third Prince, you wrong me, poor monk; although I am a martial monk, I am still a mortal flesh-and-blood body, and during the day I still have to carry the White Dragon Grandfather, so my legs are naturally a bit clumsy."

"You dare to talk back?"

Ne Zha furrowed his brows, and the killing intent in his eyes frightened Shang Sanzang into sitting down hard on the ground.

"All right, Ne Zha, don't scare him!"

At that moment, Ao Lie, who had transformed into a dragon horse, advised: "We're on the pilgrimage; we ultimately have to bring him along. Come, Sanzang, give your Dragon Grandfather a leg rub—you've been carrying him all day, he must be exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Shang Sanzang hurriedly got up and ran to the dragon horse to give him a massage.

There's no helping it; among these elders, this Dragon Grandfather has the best temper, and it's also because he carries this Dragon Grandfather on the road every day—with the Dragon Grandfather's protection, his life is somewhat better.

Otherwise, he'd probably have already had his innards torn out by the worst-tempered Third Prince.
