186. Chapter 186: Niu Mowang Forces a Marriage! Guanyin Arrives

In the desert, the wind and sand blew.

Zixia held the Purple-Blue Sword, her face pale, walking slowly through the desert.

Behind her, blood had already soaked through her purple gauze robes.

"No, I cannot stop here. If they catch up, everything will be over."

Zixia murmured to herself, looking at the boundless wind and sand ahead, a sense of bitterness rising in her heart.

"Zhizunbao, you said you would wait for me..."

"I am coming to find you now..."

She gritted her teeth, walking forward with stubbornness.

As the scorching sun gradually faded and Taiyang Xing was about to sink below the horizon, Zixia could no longer hold on; she collapsed directly onto the desert and fainted.

Ever since her Purple-Blue Sword was drawn by Zhizunbao, the magic power within her body had begun to dissipate gradually. After being struck by Yang Jian, she had now reached her absolute limit.

Above the sky, Niu Mowang rode the clouds, peering downward.

"Tang Sanzang, oh Tang Sanzang, where exactly are you..."

A look of excitement appeared on Niu Mowang's face; this time, as long as he ate the Buddha-fruit that was Tang Sanzang, his cultivation would surely step into the highest realm.

Just then, his pair of bull eyes suddenly caught sight of the fainted Zixia Xianzi below.

Niu Mowang's eyes lit up; he descended directly from the clouds and ran over in a hurry.

Zixia Xianzi's body was mostly covered by the clouds, and Niu Mowang flipped her over quite casually.

When he saw that face, which looked just like Zhu Yin, Niu Mowang felt his heart pounding wildly.

"So beautiful..."

Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Niu Mowang had already cast his mission of searching for Tang Sanzang to the back of his mind.

In this life, this old bull loved nothing more than this.

He channeled his magic power to stop the bleeding on Zixia's back, then hoisted her up and turned to head toward Niutoubao.

At this moment, inside Niutoubao.

Ye Ming had just escaped from where Jade-Faced Fox was; as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Niu Mowang in the sky, carrying Zixia Xianzi, landing with a face full of excitement.

Watching Niu Mowang carry Zixia in one hand and hold the Purple-Blue Sword in the other, scenes flashed through his mind.

A few days ago, after he transformed into a human form and drew the Purple-Blue Sword, he had tricked the Moonlight Box away from Zixia Xianzi...

Even though these things were not done by him, seeing Niu Mowang walk over carrying Zixia Xianzi, a feeling of awkwardness rose in his heart.

"Virtuous brother! Great news!"

Niu Mowang saw Sun Wukong and said with a laugh: "In a few days, after Tang Sanzang arrives, the two of us brothers will get married together!"

"You marry Xiangxiang, and I marry Zixia!"

"From now on, we shall be carefree and happy!"

Ye Ming thought to himself that the plot of the Great Sage's wedding was about to begin, and he laughed out loud, "Big brother is right!"

"Little brother congratulates big brother in advance!"

"I see that Zixia Xianzi's injuries have not yet healed; why doesn't big brother treat her wounds first, and take the opportunity to cultivate some affection?"

Niu Mowang nodded in full agreement, rubbing his chin and muttering: "I must find a way to make Jade-Faced Fox return to Jileishan."

He muttered to himself while walking toward the house.

Ye Ming smoothed the monkey fur on his hand, stared in Niu Mowang's direction for a while, and then walked straight into his own guest room.

"The plot of A Chinese Odyssey has become very jumpy and difficult to understand due to the appearance of the absurd item, the Moonlight Box."

"And now, I have become Sun Wukong; the biggest thing I have to face is dealing with Guanyin in a few days!"

In the previous Reincarnation Secret Realms he entered, he could rely on his knowledge of the plot to change it at will, without fearing a butterfly effect.

But this time, in this Westward Journey Plane, the risks of doing so were somewhat unpredictable.

The mission requirements were to resolve Sun Wukong's inner demon and to survive.

If he followed the original plot, he could also survive.

But he would definitely not be able to complete the task of resolving the inner demon in this layer of the Reincarnation Secret Realm.

In this A Chinese Odyssey, what is Sun Wukong's inner demon? 【If I put on the Golden Hoop, I cannot love you; if I take off the Golden Hoop, I cannot save you!】

Ye Ming guessed that only by saving Zixia, not being controlled by the Golden Hoop, and acknowledging this love could he successfully complete the mission in this layer of the Reincarnation Secret Realm!

But the point in time he was currently in was extremely awkward; Niu Mowang had already sent out the invitations for the 【Long Life Feast】 to all the demons.

The immortals and gods in heaven must already know as well.

Perhaps Guanyin was already on her way.

According to Ye Ming's deduction, the path of reincarnating into Zhizunbao was the result of the operation of this Heavenly Dao.

The more he thought, the more Ye Ming felt the complexity of this matter.

He took out the Moonlight Box and rubbed it in his hands.

"This Moonlight Box contains a Time Law!"

"If I can successfully absorb this Time Law, my Time Control will surely reach an even more terrifying result."

"No matter what I do now, it will cause negative effects; it is better to first contemplate this Time Law!"

Ye Ming's eyes flashed, and he cast his mind directly into the Moonlight Box.

The Time Dao was exceptionally fantastical.

The Time Force he had controlled before was merely knowing the result without knowing the reason.

Now, upon coming into contact with the Time Law within the Moonlight Box, he instantly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Just by touching this Time Law, he felt his foundation in the Time Path begin to rise! The Great Dao was right before his eyes, and without realizing it, Ye Ming became lost in thought.

A day of Time passed quietly.

After Niu Mowang revived Zixia Xianzi, he began to pester her relentlessly, using all sorts of methods to force her to marry him.

At the same time, he ordered his band of demons to head directly to the east of Niutoubao to search for the whereabouts of Tang Sanzang.

Inside the room, Ye Ming was observing the Time Law within the Moonlight Box; he gained much, and his facial appearance shifted between young and old.

Gradually, this aura of law-power drifted outward, directly affecting the surrounding environment.

Under the influence of these fluctuations, the wooden furniture in the room began to decay and then return to its original state.

In the courtyard, Niu Mowang was pestering Zixia, rubbing his large hands together, and said with a shy face:

"Fairy, if you follow me, Old Niu, I will grant you everything you desire."

"Look, if I hadn't saved you from the Desert, you surely would have died there from your severe injuries."

"Shouldn't this life-saving grace be repaid by offering yourself to me?"

Zixia looked at Niu Mowang before her with a cold face, remaining silent.

Now that her magic power had dissipated, she was no match for Niu Mowang and could not escape Niujia Bao. But after Zhizunbao pulled out the Purple-Blue Sword, her heart already belonged to another; even if she died, she did not want to marry Niu Mowang! Just then, a wave of aura drifted out from the room in the distance, and every object enveloped by this fluctuation decayed in an instant.

Niu Mowang was greatly shocked, sensing that it was actually his sworn brother who was comprehending the power of the law.

He hurriedly channeled his magic power, pulled Zixia away, and shouted: "Brother, find a quiet place to comprehend it, don't destroy Old Niu's place!"

"Fine!"

Ye Ming heard Niu Mowang's voice in his ears; anxious to comprehend the power of the law and not wanting to tangle with Niu Mowang, he went straight out of the room, preparing to leave Niu Mowang's sight before entering the Blessed Land to continue comprehending the law.

When he came out, Zixia Xianzi saw Ye Ming wearing the Golden Armor Saint Clothing at a glance, and her eyes instantly lit up with light as she said in surprise:

"Zhizunbao!!" Ye Ming had reached a critical moment in comprehending the Time Law and did not want to waste time; he habitually gave Zixia a cold look and flew away on a cloud.

Crack!

Zixia only felt the sound of a heart shattering within her; thinking of how he had snuck away before, and seeing his cold gaze now, her heart instantly broke.

There is no sorrow greater than a dead heart.

The bright light in her eyes faded away at once.

Niu Mowang glanced at the departing Sun Wukong, then looked at Zixia; although he had doubts in his heart, he still smiled and asked Zixia: "Fairy, what do you think of Old Niu?"

"Fine! I will marry you!"

Zixia's face was cold, her eyes fixed on the direction where Ye Ming, transformed into Sun Wukong, had left, and she said coldly.

Niu Mowang was overjoyed and immediately clapped his hands: "Good, good, good! Prepare tomorrow, we shall marry the day after!"

Just then, two ox-demons ran over in a hurry, shouting:

"Great King! Great King! Tang Sanzang has been captured!!"

"Good!" Niu Mowang clapped his hands abruptly, "Lock him in the dungeon first, wait for the demons to arrive in these two days, and we will immediately start the 【Long Life Feast】!"

"I will use this as a betrothal gift to marry Zixia Xianzi!"

Niu Mowang looked at the darkening sky, excitedly preparing for the wedding in Niutoubao.

Besides his own wedding, he was also preparing for the wedding of his sister Niu Xiangxiang and Sun Wukong.

This time his brother had sent Tang Sanzang over, and he had picked up Zixia Xianzi himself! It was truly a triple blessing! Suddenly, Niu Mowang frowned and looked up at the sky.

"Hum!!"

A burst of Buddha-light arrived, and Guanyin appeared, sitting on a lotus pedestal and holding the Lamb Fat Jade Purifying Bottle.

"Niu Mowang, why don't you hurry and send Tang Sanzang out."

Niu Mowang's eyes flickered, his fists clenched and loosened several times.

Guanyin took one look, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she scolded: "Do you really intend to make the fake act real?"

"Could it be that you want the entire demon race to be wiped out?"

Niu Mowang breathed heavily through his nose and slowly lowered his head, "Guanyin Dashi, please calm your anger; I will send Tang Sanzang out right away."

With a wave of his large hand, Tang Sanzang, who was muttering incessantly in the dungeon, flew out instantly and landed below Guanyin Dashi.

"Ah, Sister Guanyin, it is actually you who has come to save me!"

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed; after performing a Buddhist salute, he continued to mutter: "Namo Amitabha, Sister Guanyin, I wonder where Wukong has gone now."

"Please help this poor monk find him; not seeing him for a day, this poor monk is deeply worried!"

Guanyin nodded, flicked her orchid finger, and disappeared, taking Tang Sanzang with her.

Niu Mowang looked at the direction where the two had disappeared, a trace of ferocity appearing in his eyes.

The sky had turned completely dark.

After Ye Ming flew a hundred miles out of Niujia Bao, he wanted to immediately escape into the Blessed Land to continue comprehending the law power within the Moonlight Box.

The Great Dao was right before his eyes, yet he could only linger at the door, unable to break through. This feeling was truly quite uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a red cloud swept over from the distant sky, triggering a riot of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

Ye Ming frowned, sensing that the newcomer was not well-intentioned, and pulled the Ruyi Golden Cudgel out from his ear with his right hand.

"Click!"

Guanyin, sitting on the lotus pedestal, waved her hand casually and tossed Tang Sanzang not far from Ye Ming.

The other party held the Golden Zen Staff, waved it excitedly at Ye Ming, and sat cross-legged on the ground with composure, "Wukong, so you are here!"

"We agreed to scout the path, why have you been missing for a whole day?"

"You have made your master very worried!"

He was about to continue speaking, but after seeing the glare from Guanyin Dashi, he smiled slightly and shut his mouth.

Guanyin looked coldly at Ye Ming, who was holding the Golden Cudgel below, and scolded:

"Sun Wukong, in order to marry Niu Mowang's sister, you actually used your master Tang Sanzang as a wedding gift, and even invited demons and ghosts to eat the Tang Monk Feast together!"

"Do you admit your mistake?"

Ye Ming took a deep breath, looking at Guanyin Dashi sitting on the lotus throne in mid-air, his heart filled with gloom.

He had not expected this scene to arrive so quickly!

And most importantly, he felt a thick, baleful aura emanating from this Guanyin.

Ye Ming knew that today, things would likely not end well!

The other party was determined to force him into reincarnation and trigger the subsequent plot.

Ye Ming scanned his surroundings and suddenly saw a familiar figure on a distant hilltop.

The moment their eyes met, he saw that figure slightly open their mouth at him.

Ye Ming nodded quietly, spun the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand, pointed it at Guanyin in the sky, and bared his teeth: "You old hag! It's only because you're a woman that I won't kill you! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Tang Sanzang, sitting cross-legged on the ground, saw this, placed his Golden Zen Staff across his knees, tilted his head, and looked at Ye Ming, "Wukong, how can you speak to Sister Guanyin like that?"

Ye Ming suddenly turned his head and glared at Tang Sanzang with a face full of baleful aura, "Shut up!"

Tang Sanzang's expression remained unchanged, and he said kindly, "You're scaring me again."

Seeing the conversation between the master and disciple below, Guanyin indifferently raised a finger and pointed at Ye Ming, saying, "Do you know that you have already committed a heaven-reaching crime, and you have also snatched Zixia Xianzi's Moonlight Box."

"You're clearly trying to avoid me!"

Ye Ming casually pulled the Moonlight Box from his waist and tossed it aside, "Since I can't avoid it, I'll fight you to the death!"

The Moonlight Box hit the top of Tang Sanzang's head and bounced away.

"What are you doing?"

Tang Sanzang tilted his head, then suddenly leaped up, grabbed the Moonlight Box, picked up his staff, and said to Ye Ming, "Oh, Wukong, you're being naughty again. I told you not to throw things around!"

"Sigh! Throwing things around is wrong!"

Ye Ming watched as Tang Sanzang walked over while muttering, and with a flick of his palm, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel dropped to the ground.

"Oh my, I haven't even finished speaking, why did you throw your stick away too?"

Tang Sanzang watched Ye Ming pick up the Golden Cudgel and continued, "The Moonlight Box is a treasure; throwing it around will pollute the environment."

"What if you hit a child?"

"Even if you don't hit a child, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants!"

He saw Ye Ming place his hand on the Moonlight Box and asked kindly, "Ah, what are you doing?"

"Let go!"

"Ah. You want it?"

"If you want it, just say so! If you want it, I will give it to you."

"If you want it, I won't refuse to give it to you; it's impossible for me to insist on giving it to you if you say you don't want it."

"Let's all be reasonable! Now I'll count to three, and you tell me if you want it or not?"

"Damn it!" Ye Ming backhanded Tang Sanzang to the ground and began a sudden, explosive beating.

"Yapping on and on! Yapping on and on! Completely ignoring whether people can stand it!"

"Sun Wukong!" Guanyin Dashi immediately spoke to stop him, her fingers pinching the willow branch inside the Lamb Fat Jade Purifying Bottle. (End of chapter)
