Chapter 277: The Picture of Mountains and Rivers, it

The two Nezhas watched with their own eyes the appearance of the Life-Swapping Talisman.

They also watched with their own eyes how Li Jing, without hesitation, traded his own life to save his son's.

"You would actually do that? Why?" Nezha asked into the void, but could not ask for a result.

Rather than saying he was asking Li Jing, it was better to say he was questioning the Li Jing of his own world. He wanted to ask why he couldn't be the kind of father the one before him was.

"Who is Nezha to you?" the little old man in the cloud asked Li Jing.

Li Jing answered without any hesitation, "He is my son."

In just four short words, each word was filled with a father's most sincere emotions.

Nezha's lips parted slightly, unable to believe it. Between the flow of his eyes were waves that were hard to describe.

What kind of state of mind was he in? It was truly too complex to describe.

The Demon Pill Nezha took out the Peace Talisman Li Jing had given him and saw the appearance on the Peace Talisman clearly.

A few tears fell onto the talisman paper; the Demon Pill Nezha couldn't help but shed tears.

"Will I become an immortal in the future?"

Nezha knew the Demon Pill Nezha was asking him.

"Yes."

The Demon Pill Nezha had a kind of crazy smile, as if he wanted to have a good time before he died. "Will I also grow up to look as good as you in the future?"

"Yes." Nezha didn't understand, but he still answered.

"Then... can I really survive the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Nezha smiled faintly, unable to hide his rebelliousness. "It's just a Heavenly Tribulation; I'll help you."

He was much luckier and much happier than himself.

He had parents, close friends, and a master.

Since that was the case, he should be even happier and live the happy life that was out of his reach.

Chentang Pass.

Li Jing and Lady Yin had already started fighting with Ao Bing.

Taiyi Zhenren had also started fighting with Shen Gongbao.

Although the commoners were watching, they stayed far away, not daring to get close.

Only Tang An, Yang Jian, and Sun Wukong seemed out of place in this world.

In such a chaotic scene, the three of them even had the mood to sit together and drink tea.

"Master, why did you let Nezha follow? Are you afraid the Demon Pill will erupt again?" Yang Jian asked.

Tang An rested her arms and looked at Li Jing and his wife. "I just wanted Nezha to know that he can actually be very happy too."

"At the very least, there is a version of him that can have a happy family and grow up loved by his parents."

Sun Wukong couldn't sit still; he was eager to try and wanted to join such a lively scene.

"Wukong, if you want to go, go. It's best to mediate; just don't let the situation result in serious injuries."

"Alright, Master, leave it to me." Sun Wukong flew out impatiently. He didn't even summon the Golden Cudgel, helping Li Jing and his wife deal with Ao Bing together.

After all, they were mortals and couldn't beat Ao Bing.

Yang Jian observed the battle, fanning himself. "According to what Master said, the matter of the Demon Pill and the Spirit Pearl cannot be changed. I'm afraid the three-year predetermined Heavenly Tribulation will descend soon."

"Master wants to protect the Demon Pill and the Spirit Pearl, right."

"I mean, you don't want to watch Nezha die again. You want Nezha to just be Nezha; even if he is a Demon Pill, he doesn't have to become a lotus incarnation."

Tang An turned to look at Yang Jian. He was worthy of being Erlang Shen.

"Yes, since there's no need to cut flesh to return to his mother and scrape bones to return to his father, why can't Nezha just be Nezha?"

"It's just a Heavenly Tribulation. If we fight for it, there's still a chance."

Actually, Tang An also had selfish motives.

She wanted to save Nezha and Ao Bing. She was also calculating how far the pure Demon Pill and Spirit Pearl bodies could grow without the obstruction of a lotus incarnation.

In the future, could they become a great help?

"Master, why is there a feeling of guilt?" Yang Jian's voice brought Tang An back to her senses.

Tang An sipped her tea. "I feel that I am becoming less and less pure."

"Even when saving people, I'm calculating the gains and losses. It seems... quite annoying."

Yang Jian refilled Tang An's cup. "Does Master know why you have this thought?"

"Why?"

"Because you still have a bottom line, and you still have true pure kindness in your heart." Yang Jian clinked his cup with Tang An's. "That's why you feel guilty for calculating against others."

"Master should also know that at the beginning, the three of us really wanted to kill you. At the same time, we were also guarding against and calculating against Master, to see what kind of person Master really was."

"But now, don't the four of us have a bond that isn't family, but is better than family?"

Tang An nodded, feeling comforted, but also feeling a sting in her heart. "You really are... speaking the truth, huh."

Yang Jian couldn't hide his smile. "Everything at the beginning was the fault of the three of us."

"Taking this opportunity, Yang Jian, on behalf of Brother Monkey and the third brother, toasts Master with tea instead of wine. Please forgive us, Master."

Tang An smiled and raised her wine glass, clinking it with Yang Jian's.

It was nothing to begin with; once spoken, it actually promoted their relationship to be even better.

"Yang Jian."

"Hmm?"

Tang An looked at Lady Yin's back. "Rest assured, I will definitely help Princess Yaoji completely resurrect and return."

"The time hasn't come yet, but believe me."

Yang Jian was deeply moved. She was always like this, always planning things for the three of them in her heart. No matter when, she treated everyone equally.

And she, however, always put herself last in her considerations.

It didn't matter; having them think for her and protect her safety was the same.

It was also at this moment that Ao Bing had flown into the sky, deciding to draw water to turn into ice and bury Chentang Pass alive.

Nezha and the Demon Pill Nezha also returned from outside.

Tang An had no intention of interfering. "Nezha, Wukong, come back."

This beautiful turnaround battle was also an opportunity for the Demon Pill Nezha to rename himself; they didn't need to intervene.

"The person we should manage is there." Tang An pointed to Taiyi Zhenren, who was fighting with Shen Gongbao.

The mischievous smile at the corners of her mouth grew thicker. "When the Picture of Mountains and Rivers comes out in a moment, we'll follow them in."

Such a good treasure, and it was the treasure of her 'good senior uncle'—if she, Tang An, didn't take it, it would be too much of a pity.

"Re, rebellious disciple, I am your master!"

"Shut up, do you know what 'details determine success or failure' means?"

"Roar roar roar~"

"Oh~" Tang An raised her eyebrows, smiling slightly lewdly.

"Nezha stabbing Ao Bing's butt twice, poor Ao Bing~"

She watched happily as the two pairs of masters and disciples fought happily in the thick water vapor.

Don't say it, this immersive viewing experience was truly incomparable to any awesome cinema.

It was precisely when Nezha disguised himself as Shen Gongbao and stabbed Ao Bing twice, bumping into Taiyi Zhenren, that Tang An finally stood up from her chair.

"The Picture of Mountains and Rivers has finally appeared."

She waved her hand, and the four disciples moved at the same time.

Stuck at the moment Shen Gongbao used the Thunder Whip to pull Taiyi Zhenren in, the four of them, right in front of Shen Gongbao and Taiyi Zhenren, slipped into the Picture of Mountains and Rivers. ===== CHAPTER 278 =====
