Chapter 1792: Mother, I brought a gift

It wasn't that the brothers Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao didn't want to flee back to the Heavenly Court. For one thing, they hadn't had enough fun in the human world yet.

Compared to the day-after-day fire-tending and alchemy in the Heavenly Court, life in the human world was incredibly happy for the two brothers.

Under such circumstances, the two brothers naturally didn't want to return to the Heavenly Court to live that kind of life again.

Secondly, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao believed they hadn't completed the task Taishang Laojun had entrusted to them. After all, they hadn't even captured Tang Sanzang, so how could they count as having caused trouble for Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and their disciples?

So, in order to capture Tang Sanzang and complete the task Taishang Laojun had entrusted to them (it definitely wasn't because they wanted revenge and to regain face)...

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao came to the Yalong Cave, prepared to seek out their old mother, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon.

The bumpy journey didn't mean much to Yin Jiao, but for Jin Jiao, it was miserable to the extreme.

After all, Jin Jiao was now severely injured, and with the bumps along the way, his injuries were compounded; he could only be said to be hanging on by a thread.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, seeing Yin Jiao bring over a creature that she didn't know what it was, couldn't help but say:

"Good child, Mother knows you are filial, you don't have to bring a gift for Mother the moment you return."

Jin Jiao, hearing this, couldn't hold back his tears, and Yin Jiao immediately said:

"Mother, this isn't a gift, this is Big Brother Jin Jiao!"

"What? What happened? How could your Big Brother Jin Jiao be beaten into such a state? Tell Mother quickly!"

Yin Jiao, hearing the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon's words, told her everything he had encountered recently, including the fact that they had followed Taishang Laojun's orders to descend to the mortal world.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, hearing that the matter was like this, couldn't help but gasp and say:

"Child, Mother knows that the merit of obtaining the scriptures is like 'flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water.' The water here is very deep, and you two blockheads simply cannot grasp it!"

"Not to mention anything else, just the strength of Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng—even before they were plotted against, they could suppress you two. And there is also the 'light of justice of the Three Realms,' Fahai. It was a great stroke of luck that you two brothers were able to save your lives."

"Think about it carefully: even if I were there, could I have captured Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and the others?"

"Even if we take a step back and say we captured Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and the others, would you really dare to lay a hand on Tang Sanzang?"

"Don't talk about you two; even Laojun probably wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Doing so would inevitably offend the Western Buddhist Sect."

"When the time comes, Laojun will perform a 'righteous cut,' saying that what you two did was your own personal action. What will you do then?"

"Child, listen to Mother's advice: don't think about revenge anymore."

Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, now hearing these words from their old mother, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, also realized the truth.

"Mother, you are right. If we only do this to vent our anger and end up implicating you, Mother, then we are unfilial!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, seeing this, immediately comforted them:

"It's fine, it's fine. You are all Mother's children. It is only natural to come to Mother to cry and complain when you have suffered grievances outside."
