Chapter 240

The last time Rulai was angered into vomiting blood was the last time.

However, both times he was angered into vomiting blood by the same person, and it was none other than she, Tang An.

It seems this blow to Rulai was quite big; last time he vomited blood, he at least had been injured first. This time he wasn't injured, and he was still angered into vomiting blood by her.

"Rulai, are you okay?"

Out of humanitarianism, Tang An still had to show a little concern.

Rulai's body trembled slightly; that expression was clearly being angered to the extreme. He was almost on the verge of losing his mind, wanting to kill Tang An regardless of everything.

Of course, him almost losing his mind was his business. Whether he could kill Tang An was the Qingping Sword's business.

Just at the moment when Rulai deliberately lost his mind and wanted to make a move, the Qingping Sword bloomed with intense brilliance, forcibly pulling his sanity back.

"Return the things in the treasury, and I can choose not to hold it against you."

"Otherwise, this matter will not be easily let go."

"Threatening me?" Tang An sneered: "Does Rulai think I, Tang An, was scared into growing up?"

"As for not easily letting go, hehe... whether it's easy or not depends on whether you don't want to let it go easily, or I don't want to let it go easily, right?"

"Rulai wouldn't be naive enough to think that at this point, we could still have room for reconciliation, right?"

Rulai thought he had caught a loophole in Tang An's words and continued: "You admit that you stole the treasury."

"Me?" Tang An was not panicked at all, her smile even wider. "Buddha, since you arrived, you have been in this Princess Mansion with us."

"If I really stole it, then how can you, Buddha, escape responsibility?"

"Did you allow everything to happen, then force me to have to hand over the treasury items, and then secretly hide some for yourself?"

"Or is it that from the beginning, it was you, Buddha, who instructed me, deliberately letting me put on this show, and then the two of us together embezzled the treasures in the treasury?"

"Shh, no matter which situation it is, Rulai, you must keep your voice down; this is not something to be said out loud, it's not glorious."

Rulai's facial muscles twitched, and his blood pressure soared again.

"Nonsense! Fabricating out of thin air! Deceiving people too much!"

"Yay, Rulai, your idiom learning is not bad." Tang An clapped for him, "So what? Are you going to bite me?"

Her triumphant look really made Rulai so angry that his gums bled from biting.

"Tsk, such a big temper, aren't you afraid of being angered to death?"

"You say if Rulai Fozu passed away like this, would the sarira he turned into be laughed at for a thousand years?"

"Tang An!" Rulai's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. "I will warn you one last time, return the treasury items, and I can let bygones be bygones."

"Oh?" Tang An's eyes grew cold, "What? Rulai, have you ambushed other means, intending to deal with me, right?"

"So the meaning of you threatening me now is, if I don't take the blame for this and take out your Lingshan treasury magic treasures, you will use those means on me in advance, right?"

"Not only do you want to slander me, but you also want to threaten me, and even more, you want to harm me in secret."

"Rulai, oh Rulai, don't you feel ashamed of the two words 'Buddha'?"

It seems that after this round of tossing and turning, she also learned a key piece of information.

Rulai might have other means to deal with her.

What kind of means? Targeting the Great Tang? Or just targeting her? But in this other world, besides the Journey to the West group, what else does she care about?

If it's said to be Sun Wukong and the others, that doesn't make sense. After all, the backers are all there; even if Rulai wanted to move, he couldn't, right?

Even Jiuyue has now become a disciple of the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, and is not someone Rulai can easily move.

"I'll see how long you can be triumphant."

In Rulai's eyes was a crazy intention of revenge; it seems he was very certain that his means would be absolutely effective against Tang An.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became as cold as ice, and even breathing seemed to be somewhat obstructed.

Suddenly Tang An laughed "pfft", "Don't worry about how long I can be triumphant; you should think about what you and your Lingshan should do."

"You are already overwhelmed, and you still want to consider for me?"

Anatuo had just crawled back from serious injury when he heard Tang An's mockery; he really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Destined One, stop being arrogant! Today's shame, my Lingshan has noted it down, and I, Anatuo, have also noted it down!"

Tang An glanced at Anatuo contemptuously and raised her hand to admire her fingers, "If I remember correctly, the eighty-one tribulations have already passed fifty-two."

"Adding the three tribulations of Zhuzi Kingdom—saving the king, saving the queen, and destroying the demon—it should be fifty-five tribulations in total."

"Eighty-one minus fifty-five, how many are left?"

Does she not know? No, she just wants to say it out to annoy them.

"The remaining twenty-plus tribulations, I can guarantee, will take at most half a year."

"A day in heaven, a year on earth."

"Hiss—let me calculate, how much time do you have left waiting for me to seek scriptures?"

"A day? Oh no, it seems there is only half a day left."

"In half a day, not only do you not have the Tripitaka Scriptures, but you don't have any other volume of scriptures either. Even the wordless heavenly book, you can't take out."

"Rulai, oh Rulai, shouldn't it be your Lingshan that should be worried and anxious?"

Rulai's complexion was as colorful as a rainbow.

It could be said to be green turning purple, purple turning black, black turning red, red with green...

Tang An continued to add insult to injury: "Rulai, if I were you, I wouldn't care about anything else; I would first take the various Buddhas to finish the homework before talking."

"After all, when the eighty-one tribulations end, if your Lingshan can't take out the scriptures, how will the Heavenly Dao calculate it then? Can your Lingshan still get the merit?"

"You won't be busy until the end, only to find it was all for nothing, and the record is negative, right?"

"Yay, then does that count as you being busy for nothing, not picking up the sesame or the watermelon, and even losing an orchard along the way?"

Anatuo wanted to stand out and angrily scold Tang An, but was glared back by a look from Rulai.

"Destined One, I have noted this matter down."

"Good." Tang An's smile seemed to be saying: "Come on, am I afraid of you?"

Rulai didn't say anything else, took the various Buddhas and left, disappearing from the Princess Mansion.

Tang An waved at the sky, "Rulai, don't forget, when I go to the Great Thunder Sound Temple later, you have to reimburse me for my egg money."

The various Buddhas turned their heads and glared angrily at Tang An; she was simply deceiving people too much!

But glaring was glaring; there wasn't a single one who dared to turn back and find trouble with her.

"Tsk, cowards." Tang An clapped her hands and patted her Universe Bag.

As expected of the Lingshan treasury, it filled her Universe Bag completely.

"It's fine, what we lack the least is Universe Bags; who doesn't know how to do nesting dolls?"

Yang Jian walked up, somewhat worried.

"Master, Lingshan has suffered such a big loss this time; listening to Rulai's meaning, he will definitely take action against you in secret."

Tang An also knew, but just as Lishan Laomu said, what should come cannot be avoided.

It was nothing more than her stimulation accelerating the triggering of her tribulation.

"No worries, no worries, Master, rest assured. With us here, it won't happen like last time, leaving you to face the tribulation alone." Sun Wukong comforted Tang An with a smile, but in reality, he was actually nervous too.

Nezha didn't speak, only looked blindly toward Lingshan, his killing intent sharp and exposed.

"Monkey Brother, Second Brother."

"I want to comprehend the Law of Heaven and Earth."
