Chapter 178: then translation of chapter title

Inside the Ox Demon King's demon city, chaos reigned; Zhou Shuo dared not separate from the two girls, the three of them searched everywhere together, and soon they found Tang Sanzang in a kiln—yet this destined scripture-seeker was really somewhat awkward, not only loving to talk but also loving to go off-topic.

Zhou Shuo, Tang Monk (Tang Sanzang), and the Bull Demon King.

Niu Mo Wang had just been forced to wear a green hat, furious his ox-face turned pitch black; seeing Zhou Shuo at the place where Tang Seng was held, he immediately wanted to charge and started fighting with Zhou Shuo.

Zhou Shuo, the Bull Demon King, and the Banana Fan (a specific magical fan).

In the dazed darkness between heaven and earth, Zhou Shuo did not know how long or how far he had drifted; when he finally landed safely, he found himself unknown where on a ridge of withered, dying grass.

Zhou Shuo, the Flying Swallow Maiden, Heroine Ying, and the Bull Demon King.

Full of anger, Zhou Shuo flew back the way he came, all the way until the sky grew dark, only then returning to Niu Mo Wang's demon city; he saw that the place was littered with the bloody corpses of many monsters, decked out in red and colorful banners, with many young ox-demons beating gongs and drums, bringing a very unexpected celebration.

Looking at those monsters' corpses, Zhou Shuo temporarily suppressed his anger, sneaked into the city, and found the imprisoned Yingnvxia and Feiyanv; the two girls were also panicking, Niu Mo Wang had not yet done anything to them, but he had already issued an order to forcibly marry them.

After discussing with the two girls for a while, Zhou Shuo mentally labeled Niu Mo Wang as a dead man, and then began to think of ways to deal with his banana fan.

Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, the Flying Swallow Maiden, and Heroine Ying.

After night fell, the whole demon city began to clamor; the big and small ox-demons hoisted Tang Seng up high, and Tang Seng's two disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Heshang, were also bound nearby, prepared to be used as food for the wedding feast.

The Flying Swallow Maiden, Heroine Ying, the Bull Demon King, Zhou Shuo, Sun Wukong, the Golden Hooped Staff, and the Seven-colored Auspicious Clouds.

Without needing Zhou Shuo to act, Sun Wukong first apologized to Tang Seng, then with a flurry of blows from his Golden Hooped Staff he pressed Niu Mo Wang to the ground and rubbed him about; when Niu Mo Wang could no longer bear it and was about to draw his banana fan, Zhou Shuo suddenly snatched the fan away and then backhanded it, blowing Niu Mo Wang away.

Seeing Niu Mo Wang blown away, Sun Wukong exhaled, then clasped his hands in apology and thanks to Zhou Shuo for rescuing his master, but he had one request.

Zhou Shuo, Sun Wukong, the Flying Swallow Maiden, and the Purple-Cyan Treasure Lamp.

Sun Wukong took the Purple-Blue Precious Lamp, threw it to the ground; as the lamp shattered, one purple and one blue flame burst forth, instantly taking shape as two women who looked exactly alike but had different dispositions and expressions—indeed they were Qing Xia and Zi Xia.

Qing Xia, with a stern face, was somewhat better; Zi Xia, with an innocent expression, tilted her head to look at Sun Wukong, her big eyes full of inquiry, while Sun Wukong smiled and clasped his hands, then together with his two junior disciples rescued Tang Seng, leaving Qing Xia and Zi Xia utterly at a loss.

"What is this?" Yingnvxia stared at the rapidly changing situation, unable to help but blink; in the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong had turned over a new leaf, the pilgrimage party was complete, yet they were still here!

"Sun Wukong, where do you want to go?" Zhou Shuo did not answer Yingnvxia, but instead gazed at the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

"Of course I will protect my master on the journey to the West for the scriptures." Sun Wukong, with his furry face, looked at Zhou Shuo and spoke decisively.

Zhou Shuo, Sun Wukong, and Supreme Treasure (a character from A Chinese Odyssey).

Sun Wukong, Zhou Shuo, and the Moonlight Treasure Box.

Zhou Shuo, the Moonlight Treasure Box, Tang Monk, the four pilgrims, and the Prajnaparamita mantra.

In the dazed gazes of Zi Xia and Qing Xia, the elongated Moonlight Treasure Box emitted a beam of light that enveloped Zhou Shuo, Feiyanv, Yingnvxia, and Tang Seng and his disciples; the seven vanished together in the light, and when the glow faded, the Moonlight Treasure Box itself also disappeared.

Water dripped drop by drop; Feiyanv and Yingnvxia dazedly awoke from the quiet cave, looking at Zhou Shuo standing on the stone platform, only to see him shaking his head at them, then pointing into the cave.

In the dim cavern, beneath the Golden Hooped Staff laid across the ceiling, the devoutly kneeling figure turned slowly at Zhou Shuo's pointing, revealing a heart-shaped face framed by hair, with a golden hoop upon his forehead.

The Flying Swallow Maiden, Heroine Ying, Sun Wukong, Supreme Treasure, and the Water Curtain Cave.

Sun Wukong, Supreme Treasure, Heroine Ying, the Flying Swallow Maiden, and the pilgrimage team.

As Sun Wukong donned the Golden Hoop Mantra, elsewhere in the illusory world, the gluttonous and lustful Zhu Bajie, the fame-obsessed Sha Heshang, the wronged and martyred Little White Dragon, and Tang Seng, troubled by his lineage, each with the help of fated ones, overcame their psychological barriers and began to undertake the pilgrimage.

Although the pilgrimage was the task of Tang Seng and his four disciples, the waxing and waning of righteousness and evil concerned the whole world; as the five set out on their journey, Zhou Shuo bade farewell to Yingnvxia and Feiyanv and began anew his own travels in the world.

The East Victory Divine Continent, the Northern Kuru Continent, Goddess Nuwa's traces, and the Southern Jambu Continent.

The Southern Jambu Continent, the Han Sea Desert, the Highland Forest Sea, the East Victory Divine Continent, and Fangcun Mountain.

Zhou Shuo, the Dream World Grand Tour, and various worlds.

The Qin Dynasty World and Chiyou.

The Yang Shen World, Hong Yi, and the Heaven Beyond Heaven World.

The World of the Extraordinary, Zhou Shuo, the Corpse Elder, disciples Tian Yao and Tian Qi, the Shu Mountain World, the Asura Demon Palace, and the Emei Sect.

Zhou Shuo went through great effort to send Tian Yao and Tian Qi back to the Asura Demon Palace of the Shu Mountain World, and that Master Shipi, not idle, directly sent them out to scour everywhere for fated ones of the Emei Sect and all heterodox paths under heaven, capturing them and bringing them to the Asura Demon Palace, which provoked countless experts from across the world to besiege him.

The Corpse Elder and the Venerable Victory Chan Master.

After breaking free from demonhood and entering the Buddha's path, Zhou Shuo immediately rushed forward and embraced a thigh; the Shipi Elder, answering his request, crossed time and space to seize the Chiyou who was about to break free from the illusory Journey to the West world, pressed him to the ground and rubbed him about, beginning the endeavor to teach him the path to Buddhahood.

Zhou Shuo and the Super-dimensional Warship.

Zhou Shuo and Earth.

Zhou Shuo and the Super-conscious Dimensional Annihilation Bomb.

Zhou Shuo.

Accompanying Zhou Shuo's bewilderment, a voice talking to itself sounded from the void, then a fist of flesh slammed down from the sky; in the instant he could not react, it crushed him into a pulp, and as the fleshly fist withdrew, Zhou Shuo recovered on the spot, looking at the void as he jumped and cursed.

MMp, you damn dead-end, you damn TJ, won't you write an outline? You deserve to be so messed up; I wish you forever remain a flop.

Accompanying Zhou Shuo's stomping, a fleshly finger probed out of the void; in the moment he could not react, it pressed him into a slab of flesh, then the finger lifted, and after the flesh had reconstituted, it pressed down again.

An existence, enraged and ashamed, to punish Zhou Shuo for his insolence, pressed its finger against him a hundred times in succession, causing him to shift back and forth between rotting flesh and human form without cease; finally unable to bear it, he could only let out a loud shout.

"I was wrong, I wish you become a god in the next book—don't press anymore." Accompanying Zhou Shuo's pleading voice, the flesh finger retracted into the void; everything seemed as if it had never happened, leaving only Zhou Shuo wiping cold sweat where he stood.
