Chapter 275: A flammable and easily coaxed firecracker, and a silent and polite stubborn donkey
"So much nonsense, say it quickly." Tang An had almost tied Shen Gongbao's tail into a dead knot.
Shen Gongbao struggled on the ground in anger, and with a thrust of his butt, he knocked Tang An over.
"Hmph, you, you mortal, are actually, not, not afraid of me."
"Yet, you have, have, such, prejudice, quite..."
Why did he stop talking?
Because Tang An climbed up from the ground, walked over, and lay down in front of Shen Gongbao. Then, she manually pinched Shen Gongbao's mouth shut.
"I don't have prejudice against you; I'm just being a little bit of a brat."
"If you say the line, I'll let you go. Of course, if you need to rehearse or find the feeling, I can accompany you to satisfy your acting addiction."
Shen Gongbao: "..."
Whose kid is this! Can someone come and manage her!
"Come, look there, what is that?" Tang An pointed to the big mountain and let go of Shen Gongbao's mouth.
"A mountain."
"So when you see the mountain, what thoughts naturally arise?" Tang An signaled for him to find the emotion and say what was in his heart.
Shen Gongbao was actually led astray by Tang An. He sat up, and although his hands and feet were bound, his temperament and momentum were not lacking.
"Prejudice in a person's heart is a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can never move it."
"What I said, what is wrong with it?"
Shen Gongbao seemed to have a spine of pride. Before his voice fell, he heard a sound from afar.
"Boom~" A thunderous, muffled sound.
The mountain Tang An pointed to, the mountain Shen Gongbao was looking at, was broken in half by Sun Wukong right in front of them.
Yes, it was just a matter of one Golden Cudgel; he was playing around to scare Ao Bing.
"Master, what are you talking about? Why did you stop?" Sun Wukong was playing with the kid while also paying attention to Tang An's situation.
Seeing this, Shen Gongbao fell into a deep silence...
Tang An waved her hand. "It's nothing, he's just a bit broken. You continue playing your game."
"Alright, Master."
Tang An turned back to look at Shen Gongbao. "You just said, what is prejudice in a person's heart like?"
Shen Gongbao sized up Tang An, no longer daring to have the slightest bit of contempt for her.
"Like, a mountain?"
"Like a mountain?" A rebellious smile rose at the corners of Tang An's mouth, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned the Qingping Sword.
The Qingping Sword appeared, possessing a temperament quite like Tang An's.
It was the kind of feeling of secret smugness and arrogance, as if she were about to show off in a big way.
"Break them."
The Qingping Sword flew into mid-air. Seeing this, Sun Wukong was startled and grabbed Ao Bing by his dragon horns, pulling little Ao Bing back.
Slow down, this little dragon's body wasn't enough to be blasted by the Qingping Sword.
The Qingping Sword bloomed with cyan light in mid-air, and waves of sword radiance rippled out, covering the mountain below.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom~"
Three times, just three times, and all the mountain ranges in front of Tang An and the others were blasted into rubble by the Qingping Sword, continuously sliding toward the ground level.
Tang An's inner monologue: "You could have solved it in one go, but you deliberately used three times. You're quite good at showing off, aren't you?"
Qingping Sword: "Just tell me, was that show-off satisfying or not?"
Tang An looked at Shen Gongbao and Ao Bing, who were stunned on the spot, and nodded very satisfactorily. "Satisfying!"
She cleared her throat and said, "Now can you tell me what is in front of you?"
Shen Gongbao couldn't recover for a long time. How could a mortal cause such destructive power?
And that sword, what was its origin? Why did the mere pressure emitted by the sword body make him feel fear?
"Are you stunned by Sister's handsomeness?"
"Are you fiercely worshipping Sister in your heart?"
"Huh? Answer me!" Her expression was so smug that the corners of her mouth were almost reaching the sky.
Shen Gongbao finally came to his senses. "Who exactly are you? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Oh, you're so scared you're not stuttering anymore." Tang An took back the Qingping Sword and introduced herself again. "My name is Tang An, the Tang of Tang An, the An of Tang An."
"I'm just here to get the Universe Ring and return it to Nezha."
"You can choose not to give it, but you'd better think clearly: do you want to become a mountain, or do you want to guard the mountain in other people's hearts?"
Shen Gongbao always felt that Tang An's background was extraordinary, and although she looked reckless and unreliable in her actions.
Yet, in her words, there always seemed to be hidden suspense.
"What you broke was only the form; you cannot break the true mountain in people's hearts." Shen Gongbao seemed to be debating the Dao with Tang An.
Tang An shrugged indifferently. "But I can break their heads, letting them break the mountains in their own hearts themselves."
"If there is prejudice or bias in a person's heart, it is vulnerable before the truth."
"The truth I speak of is a weapon, the truth of a sword's edge."
"The truth is in my hands. Not only can I destroy the prejudice in his heart, I can even scatter his ashes."
Tang An looked at Shen Gongbao after speaking. "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Shen Gongbao fell into an incomparably shocked contemplation. He had never, never looked at this problem from the angle Tang An spoke of.
Was the high mountain he considered insurmountable just a result of insufficient strength?
"Are you considering being Sister's little brother? Sister will let that evil peach know who the true god in charge of evil is."
Tang An reached out to Shen Gongbao. "I've said so much; if you don't give it to me, I'm going to be unhappy."
Shen Gongbao knew he couldn't fight Tang An and that monkey demon, so he could only take out the Universe Ring.
In fact, he also wanted to see—to see if Tang An, who had appeared so suddenly, could really change the prejudice in people's hearts.
Tang An took the Universe Ring and looked at Ao Bing.
"Little brother Ao Bing, you don't mind giving Sister a ride, do you?"
Ao Bing knew he couldn't beat the monkey demon before him, nor could he fight the woman who could break mountain ranges with one sword.
But he was just stubborn; he didn't know what fear was.
"Universe Ring, give it to me." He wouldn't trust two strangers who had appeared suddenly.
Tang An wasn't angry either; she threw the Universe Ring to Ao Bing.
Ao Bing took back the magic weapon and bowed. "Thank you." After saying that, he turned and went to save Nezha.
"As expected of being born from one pearl, one is a flammable but easily coaxed firecracker, and the other is a silent and polite stubborn donkey." Tang An looked at Sun Wukong and Shen Gongbao. "We should also go and rendezvous with Nezha."
"Let's go."
Chentang Pass.
Yang Jian and Nezha stood in mid-air, watching the out-of-control Demon Pill attacking Li Jing.
"Master?"
"Why is Master... so... round?" Nezha understood some of the situation, but he was even more confused.
Yang Jian's focus was on the completely out-of-control Demon Pill Nezha.
"Aren't you going to help?"
"Help? Kill Li Jing?" But Tang An told him not to kill Li Jing.
Yang Jian held his forehead. "I observe that Li Jing has an upright aura; he looks like a true Chentang Pass Commander-in-Chief."
Nezha looked at the other version of himself. "Why is he out of control?"
"What does 'Demon Pill' mean?"
"It's just fate playing tricks." Tang An, Sun Wukong, and Shen Gongbao flew over.
Of course, Tang An was holding onto Ao Bing's dragon horns, letting Ao Bing bring her back.
Nothing else; since she was already here, she just wanted to check in and experience it.
Ao Bing had originally flown away, but Sun Wukong riding the Somersault Cloud to send Tang An up was just a matter of an instant.
Ao Bing also sensed that the two had no malice and had the heart to help Nezha, which was why he tacitly agreed to bring Tang An back.
As a result, just as the few arrived at Chentang Pass,
Ao Bing saw Nezha completely out of control and hurriedly rushed down.
Tang An was caught off guard and fell from the top of his head.
"Good, good, good, what an impatient and stubborn little dragon." ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
