Chapter 2609

Tianpeng has given up on himself at this point.

If he's going to suffer, he might as well make everyone else suffer; since things have come to this, he might as well drag them all down with him.

This was the mindset of Tianpeng, who had been pushed to the edge.

"Fine, fine, fine! As long as I can treat the King, I don't care how many there are!"

Seeing Tianpeng agree, the official in charge finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure on him lighten significantly. At the same time, he marveled at the immense strength of the guy before him; several soldiers had used all their might and still couldn't budge him.

If this stalemate continued, it would surely lead to some kind of trouble.

"Hmph, you dead idiot, why are you dragging me along when you've been given a chance to enter the palace and enjoy yourself?"

"Hmph, what enjoyment? I, Old Pig, don't know how to treat any illnesses. If I go in and don't know a thing, won't the King just set up a giant pot and steam me? I don't care, if we go into the palace and cause any trouble, and Master blames us, I won't be the only one taking the fall!"

"What a dead pig-head!"

Sun Wukong immediately began to curse and grumble.

But he couldn't resist the pushing and shoving of the soldiers, so he had no choice but to call for Sha Wujing and, pulling the White Dragon Horse along, head toward the royal palace.

"Husband, can that Monkey really treat illnesses?"

Not far away, Wu Feng and Xiao Bai were watching this scene.

"He is, after all, close to the Quasi-Saint realm. Besides, he is a disciple of the Patriarch Bodhi; having been exposed to it, he should know a thing or two about the traditional Chinese medical arts of inquiry and diagnosis. Furthermore, the King's illness is not simple; how could it be cured by mortal medicine and doctors?"

"I saw that the King only had the symptoms of ordinary weakness, how is that not simple?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai cast her gaze deep into the palace, observing the King's symptoms, yet she couldn't see anything complicated about them!

"My lady, it seems you still haven't experienced the myriad states of the human world. As the saying goes, physical illness can be cured, but heart disease is hard to resolve!"

Wu Feng suddenly feigned a profound expression.

Xiao Bai was even more confused by Wu Feng's words and asked suspiciously: "What heart disease?"

"It is, of course, lovesickness. Just think about it: the King's beloved concubine was abducted by a demon, and the King is left to spend his nights alone. As a normal man, how could he not be lonely, empty, and cold?"

"Bah, you old lecher!"

Hearing Wu Feng say this, Xiao Bai's face turned bright red. She had discovered that ever since Wu Feng stepped into the Saint realm, he had become increasingly improper, completely unlike the Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, who only knew how to keep a straight, old face all day long.

There was no longer any image of a profound, desireless, and inactive Saint.

"Alright, it's time for us to go back. That Daoist Ziyang should have noticed that Sun Wukong and the others have arrived in the Zhuzi Kingdom. Let's return to the temple and watch a good show in peace!"

Watching the direction in which Sun Wukong and the others had left, Wu Feng revealed an expression of anticipation for a good show, then turned and pulled Xiao Bai back to the Ziyang Temple.

Although the Ziyang Temple was small, the air was indeed fresh; it was a pure land far from the hustle and bustle of the world. This Daoist Ziyang certainly had a unique eye, which confirmed the traditional Daoist mindset of avoiding the world. But once the world is no longer peaceful and the Kalpa Tribulation rises again, how can those who cultivate the Dao truly avoid the world?

Regarding this, Wu Feng shook his head.

In the end, when the true world-ending catastrophe arrives, how can there be an intact egg under an overturned nest? Always avoiding the world will only lead to destruction.

As a modern transmigrator and owner of the Grocery Store System, having experienced so many tribulations, he had long understood that everything must be fought for. If you don't fight, you will disappear in the torrent of the Kalpa Tribulation or live out your life as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
