Chapter 242: The Tribulation of Bajie's Seven Aunts

Tang An was blasted until smoke was coming out of her mouth, and her hair was almost styled into a charred, crispy, explosive perm.

"I *************!!!"

"No martial virtue, you can't even play fair, you little *, I *************!"

Sun Wukong and the other two lowered their heads and scratched their brows in a tacit and unified manner, giving off the impression that they were trying their hardest to hold back laughter.

"Are you guys laughing?" Tang An turned her head, and the expressions of the three of them immediately returned to normal.

"No, no, how could Old Sun laugh at Master?"

Yang Jian then said, "Master's attack power has greatly improved; I am happy for Master."

Nezha nodded and said, "Mm, happy for you."

Tang An raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Really." Their voices were, one could say, perfectly in unison.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Tang An pointed toward the west, "You two just wait for me!"

"Saints, right? Zhunti, right? Jieyin, right?"

"Fine, I, Tang An, will remember this!" Let's see how she gives them both a trendy hairstyle after she finishes the pilgrimage!

Western Heaven Lingshan.

Zhunti and Jieyin seemed to have heard Tang An's angry cursing, and their expressions shifted slightly.

However, their Heart Realm was stronger than Rulai's, so they did not take it to heart.

"Amituofo."

In this heaven and earth, there were only Rulai, Zhunti, and Jieyin.

Rulai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smug smile at the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"The plans you made in advance have come in handy at this moment."

Jieyin seemed not to want to make things so rigid, "Do you know, if this matter is brought out, the Causality and grievances between you and her, unless you can send her back after the Journey to the West ends..."

"Otherwise, given her temperament, I fear your future will be..."

Rulai laughed, "You two making that move early, wasn't it just to better control Tang An, this suddenly appearing Destined One?"

"And isn't this move you laid out prepared for me to preside over the Journey to the West Calamity?"

The implication was, don't make it sound so noble.

The dishonorable methods were prepared by you in advance. I am merely using them when necessary.

If you say I am not a good person, how much better could you be?

It is all just hypocritical rhetoric; saying a word or two is enough, yet you go on endlessly.

Zhunti frowned slightly, "Since you insist on using it here, then the two of us will say no more."

"The Causality involved, the two of us have long since been tainted by it for the sake of Lingshan."

"Right and wrong, fortune and misfortune, everything must wait until the Journey to the West Calamity ends to be resolved."

In fact, Zhunti and Jieyin both understood that the moment they wanted to use this to contain the Destined One, the Causality between the Destined One and Lingshan had already formed.

It was just that under this Journey to the West Calamity where this Causality was formed, it was vastly different from the Journey to the West Calamity they had imagined.

Since things had already developed to this point, none of them could withdraw; they could only bite the bullet and go to resolve all the uncontrollable risks of the Journey to the West Calamity.

On the road to the West.

The weather was gloomy today, and Tang An felt stifled inside as well.

"Here." Nezha took out a lollipop and handed it to Tang An.

Tang An unwrapped the lollipop and leaned back against Jiuyue's fox tail. "Do you guys think, what will it be like after we finish the Eighty-One Tribulations?"

With the Eighty-One Tribulations nearing their end, she only just realized this question. She was just a person who had transmigrated here; after the Eighty-One Tribulations ended, would she go back?

If she went back... would they still remember her in the future?

"Accompany you back."

"Hm?" Tang An took the lollipop out of her mouth, her eyes brightening in an instant. "You still remember?"

She thought the three of them had only said that to comfort her at the time.

Yang Jian said, "We are also very curious about what Master's world is actually like."

Sun Wukong hopped over with a grin, "Old Sun also often wonders about those 'big birds' Master mentioned that can fly in the sky without flapping their wings. And those things called 'cars' that run faster than horses."

When they were bored, Tang An would often tell them about modern things.

Jiuyue then said, "Big Sister, you also said that if Jiuyue went back to your place, I would definitely be a big star; Big Sister can't leave Jiuyue behind."

Tang An turned away and lowered her eyes with a faint smile; really, saying these things makes one's eyes get sand in them.

It was also at this moment that the sun pierced through the clouds, and the light illuminated the haze.

The weather cleared up, and the emotions in Tang An's heart cleared up as well.

"There is demon Qi."

Tang An looked at the mountain not far away; her Eye of Truth easily discerned the demon Qi.

However, that demon Qi faintly revealed a golden hue, and it did not look like ordinary demon Qi.

"Have you guys seen that kind of demon Qi before?"

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha had long since become accustomed to demon Qi.

Only after Tang An's reminder did they all look over.

"Hey, it is a bit different." Sun Wukong patted Yang Jian's chest with the back of his hand, "Brother Yang Jian, you take a look, can you see any clues?"

Yang Jian directly opened his third eye to gaze at the situation inside that mountain.

However, the moment he opened his Heavenly Eye and saw the scene in the mountain, he hurriedly turned his head to look elsewhere, his face slightly awkward and uncomfortable.

Tang An's head poked out, extending toward where Yang Jian was looking down.

"Yang Jian, are you... blushing?"

Yang Jian gave two dry coughs, "It... it is that there are seven female demons bathing in a pool in the mountains."

"I, I did not see them clearly; after realizing something was wrong, I immediately looked away."

"Pfft—"

Tang An wanted to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't.

The dignified Erlang Shen actually had such an embarrassed and awkward moment. However, Tang An still trusted his character; if he said he didn't look, he must have realized something was wrong and immediately shifted his gaze.

"Female demons bathing? And seven of them?"

Tang An's eyes lit up, "Oh! It's that person, you know, that person."

"Who?" Sun Wukong did not understand why Tang An's mood was fluctuating so wildly.

"Tsk, it's just the tribulation caused by Bajie's seven aunts." She couldn't help it; this meme involuntarily popped into her mind.

"Bajie?" Sun Wukong scratched his cheek, finding this quite novel.

"That is Marshal Tianpeng; if he is recruited by the Buddhist sect, he will be given the name Bajie."

Once Sun Wukong heard this, he thought it was good, "Then I, Old Sun, will just call Marshal Tianpeng down again and have him take the seven aunts back, wouldn't that solve it?"

"Uh..."

How was she supposed to explain this meme to Wukong?

"Marshal Tianpeng probably hasn't digested the persimmon he ate last time, so we should just handle it ourselves."

Tang An imagined the scene of the sisters bathing from the original show, her smile turning slightly lewd.

"You are all men, so don't go over there."

"As it happens, I was just thinking of taking a bath myself."

"Jiuyue, let's go."

"Alright." Jiuyue carried Tang An on her back and dashed toward the mountains.

Nezha wanted to call out to Tang An, but then remembered she was going to bathe and felt too shy to speak.

"Those are demons, she cannot go alone!" Nezha could only watch Sun Wukong and Yang Jian fret in anxiety.

But it really didn't seem appropriate for the three of them, as grown men, to rush over.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then whistled to summon Putian Ying, telling it to go and keep watch.

Xiaotian Quan looked up, acting "clever," and asked, "Master, why not let me go?"

Three pairs of eyes glowing with red light looked over, and in an instant, Xiaotian Quan appeared so small and weak, its frame trembling with fear.
