Chapter 241: How Nice, Another Day of Rushing Homework at Lingshan

"Relax, relax, you don't need to be so nervous."

Tang An laughed it off, "What's meant to come will come; there's no hiding from it."

"As for my safety, rest assured. I can guarantee that someone is backing me up."

"Since we can't hide from what's coming, why don't we have one more satisfying bit of fun before the Tribulation arrives?"

Where to have this fun? Naturally, at Lingshan.

"System, can I exchange for something else?"

This time, what Tang An wanted to exchange for wasn't a loudspeaker, but an Invincible Sound Transmission Talisman—one that couldn't be broken by force, couldn't be destroyed, and was limited to one day in the Mortal World!

What is an Invincible Sound Transmission Talisman?

The Invincible Sound Transmission Talisman comes in a pair. One is with Tang An, and the other has no distance limit, left for Wukong to toss into Lingshan.

Not only could she watch the spectacular scene of Lingshan rushing to finish their homework through her own talisman, but she could also continuously activate Taunt mode, making them lose focus, break down, and fly into a rage of impotent fury.

"It's up to you, Wukong."

His Somersault Cloud was best suited for this task.

"Don't worry, Master." Before Sun Wukong left, he didn't forget to instruct Yang Jian and Nezha, "You must look after Master well; do not leave her side."

Yang Jian and Nezha nodded; they had learned their lesson last time. So, no matter what, they would not leave Tang An alone again.

Western Heaven, Lingshan.

Inside the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, there was a sea of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Dharma Protectors, and Vajras...

They were all sitting in rows, each with a pen in hand and countless sheets of paper, working frantically to catch up.

They had been brainwashed by Rulai and wanted to create a miracle, so they were currently full of vigor.

This formed a concrete scene where "the pen shafts were practically smoking from writing."

The most miserable of all were Anatuo and Mahakasyapa.

The two of them were clearly being punished severely by the Buddha, but because they had to write the scriptures, they had to be kept here.

The two of them gripped their pens, practically vomiting blood while writing the scriptures, yet they dared not let a single drop of blood stain the pages. After all, once stained with blood, it would have to be scrapped and rewritten immediately.

That scene was more than just miserable.

"Pfft—hahahahaha..."

Tang An's explosive laughter suddenly appeared in the Great Heroic Treasure Hall.

"The spectacular scene of all the Buddhas rushing to finish their homework, hahahahaha..."

"Oh my, don't break your pens; if you break them and accidentally make a mess, you'll have to rewrite it. What a waste of paper."

"This Buddha here, why aren't you writing? Do you not know how to write?"

"Oh—I get it, you didn't forget the content of the scriptures, did you?"

"Oh, what should we do about this? What should we do?"

"Yo, Rulai is writing too? Let me see Rulai's handwriting; it's not bad at all."

The Buddhas were so angry that their veins were bulging, and a large 'rage' character seemed to pulse on their temples.

"Destined One, you..."

"Silence, do not let your hearts be disturbed." Rulai's voice came, forcibly suppressing everyone's resentment.

After all, compared to hurling a few insults, it was more practical to hurry up and write a scripture.

Tang An's applause rang out, "As expected of the Buddha, your state of mind is truly high."

"Of course, I don't mean to taunt everyone; I'm just here to urge you to update."

"After all, we have already returned to Zhuzi Kingdom and are about to set off for the next stop."

"I wonder how your make-up work is going? Will you make it in time?"

"Write slowly, write slowly, I'm not in a hurry, ah, no rush."

Rulai's temple throbbed faintly; what on earth did he do in his past life to provoke such a disaster?

Mortal World, Zhuzi City gate.

Having had her fill of taunting, Tang An temporarily put the Sound Transmission Talisman back into her Universe Bag.

"Let's go, it's time for us to handle the finishing touches."

What are the finishing touches? Naturally, it's Zhuzi Kingdom.

Outside the main palace hall.

Tang An looked at the King and Queen walking toward her from the hall, as well as the Surrender Document they were offering.

"It seems you have made your decision."

The King of Zhuzi Kingdom sighed, "I know that if I do not surrender today, the people will surely suffer in the days to come."

"Although I cannot be called a good Emperor, I do not wish to see my people and soldiers shed blood in vain."

"Furthermore, the Princess has saved the lives of the Queen and myself. For such great kindness, there is no way to repay it."

"After much thought, this is the only solution, and the best strategy."

"I ask that the Princess tell the Emperor of Great Tang to please treat the people of Zhuzi Kingdom well."

Tang An took the Surrender Document and flicked her robes; her skirt fluttered in the wind, her presence fully unleashed, unrivaled in her brilliance.

"From today on, there is no more Zhuzi Kingdom, only Zhu Zi City."

"As for how to govern the new city, I naturally trust in the Emperor of Great Tang."

Several days later, on the journey to fetch the scriptures.

Taking over Zhuzi Kingdom was easier than imagined.

Tang An was in a great mood, so almost every day she had Sun Wukong go to Lingshan to insert the Sound Transmission Talisman. While disturbing the Buddhas, she kept urging them to speed up their progress.

At times like these, it would have been better not to urge them, but the more she urged, the more their mental states shattered.

In particular, Tang An updated her progress every day, and for Lingshan, her daily updates were almost like a non-stop ticking clock, an alarm clock broadcast they found most unbearable.

That mindset, it was simply something else!

"Oh, another beautiful day, hello everyone."

"Still rushing to copy the scriptures? Why have so many of you stopped? Do you not like writing?"

"Oh~ is Rulai giving a lecture?"

"Hey, aren't you all supposed to be high-ranking monks who have attained the Dao? What, did you attain the Dao of Daoism? You can't even recite the scriptures from memory?"

"I get it now, you are all listening to gibberish; you haven't grasped the profound meaning of the Buddhist scriptures at all!"

"Rulai, I'm reporting them for slacking off in class and not listening carefully!"

Rulai turned the Buddhist Beads in his hand; he had lost count of how many strings of Buddhist Beads he had already snapped.

Honestly, being pestered by Tang An for so long was truly a different kind of cultivation, a path of cultivating the heart.

"Rulai, why did you stop lecturing?"

"Oh~ I know! Could it be that you, the Buddha, don't even remember the scriptures you wrote yourself?"

"Ho ho ho, you Lingshan folks really have a show going on, each act more spectacular than the last."

"Snap!"

Rulai's eyes were tightly shut; the talk of cultivating the heart was premature!!!

"Tsk, look at that, getting angry again, snapping the Buddhist Beads again. Even if your Lingshan Buddhist Beads are bought wholesale, you shouldn't waste them like that."

"Don't be angry, it's just that the Scripture Treasury is empty, just that the treasury followed suit and emptied out, and just that you are working overtime to write scriptures yet still can't recite them."

"It's fine, I don't mind at all, just stuff whatever you want into my hands later, I can't read them anyway."

"You know, the common people of Great Tang are quite deceitful; if they had such good things, they wouldn't use them for anything else. Wouldn't they just be purely wasting the fruits of your labor?"

!!!!!!!

If a scholar can bear it, who else can? Even Rulai couldn't bear it anymore!

"Zhunti, Jieyin, Two Sages! Why haven't you acted to cut off her methods yet!"

"If we let her continue to interfere, we really won't be able to finish the scriptures in time!"

Zhunti and Jieyin, the Two Sages, sighed, but in the end, they still took action.

Tang An's side suddenly went black, and the Sound Transmission Talisman exploded directly.

"Damn it! Can't play fair, are you guys incapable of playing fair!"
