Chapter 2468: The Cowardly Tianpeng

"Is that so? I don't believe it."

General Juan Lian looked at Fahai and said immediately.

Marshal Tianpeng, suspended in mid-air, rolled his eyes a few times and suddenly said, "If the Buddha-Light Relic is lost, then it's lost. We can't handle this monster; why don't we just leave it at that?"

"Jisaiguo hasn't had any incidents of monsters hurting people for so many years. I don't think this monster intends to hurt anyone at all. There's no need for us to risk our lives against it, right?"

Sun Wukong was furious upon hearing this. He looked at Tianpeng and shouted, "Idiot, what are you talking about?"

"Is the theft of a national treasure not as serious as hurting people?"

"Every time you are cowardly and afraid of death. Now that Fahai and I can't even gather our true Qi, if you two don't go down, who will?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Sun Wukong, lowered his head, and muttered softly, "You said it yourself, your true Qi hasn't gathered yet. If Brother Sha and I go down, isn't that just sending ourselves to death?"

Sun Wukong really wished he could raise his staff and strike Tianpeng on the head.

He had tolerated his cowardice and hiding at the back every time, but this time, he and Fahai had been severely injured and could no longer fight, yet this idiot still dared not engage.

Fahai was suspended in the air, his thick brows furrowed. He felt extremely uncomfortable; his internal organs felt as if they were no longer his own.

Those golden ripples were so powerful that even after regulating his breathing for a long time, his organs still repelled each other, and true Qi was rampaging through his meridians.

Tianpeng was thinking about how to excuse himself and avoid this battle when a point of starlight fell silently from the high sky into the center of his brow.

A voice echoed in Tianpeng's mind, "Tianpeng, you are the person with the simplest state of mind. Although this Nine-Headed Bird has the powerful evil art of thought waves, you are not afraid of it."

Tianpeng was shocked and said to the voice in his mind, "Who is it? Is it the Heavenly Emperor? You haven't forgotten me?"

The Heavenly Emperor smiled slightly and said, "Marshal of the 800,000 Water Army of the Heavenly River, how could I forget you?"

A look of sorrow suddenly appeared in Tianpeng's eyes. Since he was demoted to the mortal world, he had suffered so much.

He could no longer enjoy fine food and clothing, living in the open every day, and more importantly, he could no longer see Chang'e.

Tianpeng frowned, feeling extremely confused, and asked the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, "Heavenly Emperor, I would like to ask, what is meant by a person with the simplest state of mind?"

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled and said, "Your life is nothing more than eating, drinking, and lusting after beauty. You have no worries. Even when I demoted you to the mortal world, you never had any worries, did you?"

Tianpeng frowned, as if he had been seen through by the Heavenly Emperor, and said, "My feelings for Chang'e are true. Why did you demote me to the mortal world!"

The Heavenly Emperor laughed and said lightly, "Which beauty are your feelings not true for? Do you dare to argue with me?"

"If Chang'e were willing, I would naturally not punish you. The Heavenly Law has been changed, and immortals can now love freely."

Tianpeng was stunned and said, "Has the Heavenly Law changed? How come I didn't know?"

"Does that mean I can pursue Chang'e?"

The Heavenly Emperor suppressed his urge to laugh. This Tianpeng's nature was still the same; he hadn't changed a bit.

He said leisurely, "I tell you responsibly, you can indeed pursue Chang'e, if you can complete the Journey to the West Kalpa Tribulation and return to the Heavenly Court. The problem is, I don't know if Chang'e likes you." ===== CHAPTER 2470 =====
