Chapter 414: Wangmu: Guanyin, You Go!
After Wangmu left, everything in the room calmed down. Xuanzang took a slight breath, wondering if he had been a bit too bold.
After all, this Wangmu was the head of the female immortals of the Three Realms; how could he have taken advantage of her so directly?
Perhaps at this very moment, the immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms were watching in secret.
Careless, truly careless.
Meanwhile, in another room.
Wangmu, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Tianyu Pusa stood facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat unusual.
Tianyu Pusa could not help but tease:
"Your Majesty, I never expected you to be such a sentimental person. To complete this tribulation, you actually sacrificed yourself for others; the sacrifice is quite significant. I admire you."
"Do you have an opinion?" Wangmu Niangniang said calmly.
"Of course I have no opinion." Tianyu Pusa covered her face and chuckled softly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned; at this moment, she could not see through what Wangmu was actually trying to do.
This series of actions by Wangmu was completely out of bounds and violated the plan everyone had previously discussed.
"Your Majesty, you are, after all, the mistress of the female immortals. Regarding this matter with Xuanzang, isn't it a bit willful?" Guanyin said.
"This palace is also doing this to complete a tribulation of the Journey to the West. With the Heavenly Dao above, it sees everything. How can you call it willful, Guanyin?" Wangmu said earnestly.
If she hadn't seen Wangmu nearly consummate her relationship with Xuanzang, Guanyin would have almost believed her.
"However, looking at the situation, whether Xuanzang has a pious and flawless Buddha heart is truly open to question," Tianyu Pusa said.
"The current situation is whether the Heavenly Dao will acknowledge that this tribulation has been passed. If it does not acknowledge it, all our efforts will have been in vain.
Of the Eighty-One Tribulations ordained by Heaven, if one fails, then the Journey to the West will not be considered complete. If it cannot be completed, the Heavenly Dao will not bestow Merit," Guanyin Bodhisattva said.
"Oh!" Wangmu nodded, but her expression was indifferent.
Whether the Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit or not had little to do with her. In this kalpa, the benefits the Heavenly Court could obtain were only so much, and most of it remained in the hands of Buddhism.
Seeing this attitude from Wangmu Niangniang, Guanyin did not know what else to say.
From the beginning, she should not have agreed to let Wangmu Niangniang enter the tribulation; otherwise, this trouble would not have occurred.
……
Before dawn.
Xuanzang was sitting on a meditation cushion, meditating to cultivate his magic power. He had thought that after the incident with Wangmu Niangniang, this night would be peaceful.
But the tree desires stillness, yet the wind will not cease!
Just as his meditation reached its depths, a graceful and enchanting figure drifted in.
"Hehehe."
A crisp, melodious, and heart-stirring laugh, like silver bells, echoed in the air.
Just hearing a bit of this sound was enough to make one's imagination run wild, as if one were amidst the mortal world.
Xuanzang opened his Heavenly Dao Eyes to look; all illusions had nowhere to hide. He saw the Buddhist Bodhisattva, Tianyu.
Tianyu Pusa's cultivation might not be as profound as Guanyin's, but her supernatural ability to captivate the heart was absolutely masterful. Every smile, every movement, was entirely natural and contained infinite Charm.
Xuanzang wondered, is this really a Bodhisattva, and not a disaster that could charm the world?
"Imperial Brother."
Tianyu Pusa smiled beautifully and walked over with lotus steps. She wore thin black gauze, her skin white with a rosy tint, a lovely sight.
Compared to Wangmu Niangniang, this Tianyu Pusa was even bolder, throwing herself directly into Xuanzang's arms.
"Again?" Xuanzang thought to himself, it was hard not to have thoughts with such a beauty in his arms.
"Imperial Brother, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Tianyu Pusa asked, burying her head in front of Xuanzang, looking up with an expectant gaze that mixed purity with seduction.
"Niece Desire, this is not love at first sight; it is clearly lust at first sight," Xuanzang said.
Although a beauty had thrown herself at him, the feeling this Tianyu Pusa gave him was not at all like Wangmu.
Being with Wangmu was like reuniting with an old friend of many years, as pure as rain after a long drought.
But this Tianyu Pusa, while feigning purity, was full of schemes behind her eyes, harboring ill intentions.
Hearing this, Tianyu Pusa acted coquettishly, hitting Xuanzang's chest with her small fists, and said, "Imperial Brother, you are so bad. Don't you know how much charm you have yourself? You have to make me say it so bluntly.
Since Imperial Brother has said so, then I won't hide it. That's right, I am just craving your body."
After speaking, the woman even greedily inhaled the scent on Xuanzang, her intoxicated expression making her eyes lose focus, appearing incredibly exaggerated.
"Slap!"
Xuanzang slapped Tianyu Pusa away, saying righteously:
"You are not worthy!"
"Hiss!"
Tianyu Pusa gasped, feeling a burning sensation near her gate of reincarnation. Her face flushed red, and she felt depressed. Why was Xuanzang acting like this at this moment?
In terms of beauty, she was not much worse than Wangmu Niangniang, and she was even more enchanting and alluring, as well as more considerate and sensible.
"Imperial Brother, you hurt me."
Tianyu Pusa said delicately, her eyes filled with spring water, looking pitiful.
"If you know it hurts, then leave," Xuanzang said.
Although this Tianyu Pusa was charming and moving, he had no interest in her at all, so he couldn't even be bothered to continue the act.
If it were Guanyin who came, he might have had a different attitude.
Seeing this, Tianyu Pusa was furious; she did not believe she couldn't take down Xuanzang.
And so, she actually began to dance gracefully right in front of Xuanzang.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Xuanzang saw countless afterimages before his eyes, with seven or eight Tianyu Pusas dancing at once.
Each one postured and preened, yet their styles were entirely different.
Although it was only one person, her temperament ranged from mature to pure, from royal-loli to noble, from icy to an Empress...
"Quite the player."
Xuanzang commented inwardly; he feared that among the Venerables and Arhats in Thunder Sound Temple who spent their days chanting, few could withstand this level of Charm dance from a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Outside the room, it was now Wangmu Niangniang and Guanyin Bodhisattva's turn to watch the show.
"So this is the method of your Buddhism; tsk tsk tsk, it's a real eye-opener," Wangmu said.
Guanyin remained silent, took a deep breath, and said:
"Tianyu once danced amidst the mortal world to cultivate a Buddha-heart, becoming tainted with endless mortal aura, reaching the peak of tempering human nature; every movement, every frown, and every smile can stir the instinctive desires of all living things.
It is just unexpected that it seems to have no effect on Xuanzang."
"Pah, that just means her cultivation is not yet up to par," Wangmu Niangniang said.
"True hunters always appear in the guise of prey; Tianyu relied on her Charm divine ability to try and take Xuanzang down in one go, but how could it be that easy?"
Wangmu Niangniang had great confidence in Xuanzang, and at the same time, this proved from the side that her own charm was many times greater than that of Tianyu Pusa.
Although she was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, she was also a woman, and women all possess a certain amount of vanity.
"If even Tianyu cannot take him down, then the only one left to act is you, Guanyin," Wangmu said.
"Me?" Guanyin's expression changed slightly.
"Why, are you not going to act? If you do not act, this palace will continue to sit and discuss Taoism with Xuanzang," Wangmu Niangniang said.
"I will consider it," Guanyin thought for a moment, then said softly.
