Chapter 1985: Marshal Tianpeng

It was from that day on that Tiger Power Immortal donned Daoist robes and, together with his two brothers who had shared life and death with him—Sheep Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal—arrived at Chechi Kingdom.

The world is full of vicissitudes; he truly had not expected that everything would end up like this, and even less did he expect that when he was about to be killed by Sun Wukong, the common people of Chechi Kingdom would all stand up to speak for him.

And that King of Chechi, knowing full well that he was a demon, did not hold a grudge and still allowed him to serve as the National Teacher.

The words of the Second National Teacher still rang in his ears: "Big Brother, with our cultivation base, even if we killed the King and seized his throne, those guards—even if they were a thousand-strong army—would be like paper in front of us three brothers!"

Tiger Power Immortal had immediately rebuked him at that time, saying, "Second Brother, have you forgotten the King's kindness in recognizing our talent, and the respect and courtesy he has shown us for so many years? Why do you have no heart to repay such kindness?"

Sheep Power Immortal stroked his goat beard and sneered, "That's not it. What is the goal of us three? We are here to cultivate and become immortals; we need the best Daoist resources. If you, Big Brother, became the King, wouldn't we be able to obtain more Daoist methods?"

Tiger Power Immortal had glared fiercely at his two junior brothers then and said, "Has the King not exhausted his efforts over these years to collect Daoist methods for us, and has he not supplied us with as much as possible?"

"Furthermore, don't you two forget, if we truly become addicted to killing, although our Daoist methods might become stronger, we will never be able to attain the Dao and become immortals!"

It was precisely that time that Sheep Power Immortal and Tiger Power Immortal abandoned the thought of killing the King of Chechi and seizing the throne.

At this moment, the moon was high in the sky, bright and flawless, reflecting off the entire Three Pure Ones Daoist Temple as if it were inlaid with a layer of gold.

On Tang Sanzang's side, they had already finished their evening banquet and returned to their respective guest rooms to rest.

The evening banquet prepared by the King of Chechi was extremely sumptuous; although they were all vegetarian dishes, there were delicious mountain mushrooms and crisp, sweet snow lotus roots. The table was full of vegetarian dishes that were perfect in color, aroma, and taste—it could be said to be the highest level of courtesy, and the King of Chechi personally accompanied them to the banquet.

It is said that this night, Marshal Tianpeng ate eighty-seven steamed buns all by himself, leaving the palace maids serving nearby completely dumbfounded!

Sun Wukong even mocked him, saying, "You fool, are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Can you pay some attention to your table manners?"

Marshal Tianpeng gave a silly laugh and said, "Monkey Brother, this is just how I eat. If I eat slowly, I'm afraid I won't get full!"

The King of Chechi also held a cup of fruit juice, a smile appearing in his eyes, and said repeatedly, "There is plenty, don't worry. This Master, we have plenty of grain in Chechi Kingdom!"

Fahai sat to the side, laughing. He simply held a vegetable-filled bun and, with a cup of apple juice, ate slowly, watching Marshal Tianpeng's eating style with eyes full of shock and appreciation.

After a night of rest, the sun in the east gradually climbed up the window lattice, and all things in the world seemed to have regained new vitality.

Tang Sanzang rode the White Dragon Horse, leading his four disciples as they headed out of the Chechi Kingdom palace.

The King of Chechi, leading two rows of honor guards, personally came out to see them off.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to see us off any further. Thank you for your hospitality."

Tang Sanzang dismounted, looked at the King of Chechi, and smiled.

"Holy Monk, the journey to the West is perilous. I wish you a smooth journey."

The King of Chechi also wore a smile and said. ===== CHAPTER 1987 =====
