Chapter 293: The Yuxu Palace Treasury, Here I Come~

Tang An held Chenxiang, and Chenxiang held a Chang Sheng Tao.

The peach was almost as big as Chenxiang, but he held it and gnawed on it quite happily.

"So cute, mwah~"

At this moment, it really wasn't that Tang An was lecherous; it was just that this little milk dumpling Chenxiang was too cute, far too cute.

As a godmother, she was truly about to be melted by the child's cuteness.

Even Chenxiang's cheeks, which were like those of a milk dumpling, had been kissed red by Tang An.

She didn't just kiss him; she kissed him with the intensity of a cupping treatment.

Chenxiang was kissed until his eyes were brimming with tears; his rhythm was basically: cry twice, take two bites of the peach, neither task delayed.

Nezha watched this scene silently, though he felt no unhappiness. After all, he wouldn't go so far as to be displeased by an infant.

But when he watched Tang An kissing Chenxiang, his eyes flickered slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking, but a faint blush spread across his face.

"Little Master, time to eat." Yang Chan had relied on Yang Jian since she was young, so she still knew how to cook.

Yang Jian and the others didn't need to eat, but Tang An would feel famished if she didn't.

"Coming, coming." Tang An handed Chenxiang to Yang Jian and trotted off to eat.

Chenxiang looked up at his uncle, looking aggrieved as if accusing Tang An of bullying him.

Yang Jian's smile held tenderness as he pinched Chenxiang's other cheek. "Be good, eat your peach."

He couldn't very well say that Tang An was just used to bullying children and thought Chenxiang was fun to play with, which was why she had kissed him so fiercely.

Tang An held her chopsticks in her left hand to spear braised pork and put it in her mouth, while her right hand shoveled rice; she ate with such relish that even Xiaotian Quan felt hungry watching her.

Yang Chan brought over another platter, separated the roasted venison, and then called everyone to eat together.

Tang An was eating too much to speak, only giving a thumbs-up to Yang Chan's culinary skills.

Sanshengmu could fight, could raise a child, and could cook so well. Someone like her, wouldn't she succeed at anything she did?

Seeing Tang An's gesture of praise, Yang Chan was naturally happy as well.

"Second Brother, how is your journey to the West going?"

Yang Jian took a sip of wine, "We are almost at Lingshan."

"Then... after the scripture pilgrimage, Second Brother and Little Master, what are your plans?"

Yang Jian looked at Chenxiang; if Chenxiang could grow up safely and soundly without being affected by the New Heavenly Law, he would likely return to his Judicial God Temple after the pilgrimage ended.

It was just that while the pilgrimage was nearing its end, the matters after the pilgrimage were far from simple.

Tang An finished eating and set down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Plans can't keep up with changes; I won't write a retirement plan for now."

"But if that day really comes, I would like to live in a small wooden cabin deep in a peach blossom forest, in a place where peach blossoms cover the mountains and plains."

"Right in front of the door would be a stream, with petals drifting down in the flowing water."

"When the wind blows, peach blossoms fall like rain; it would truly be a fairyland on Earth."

"By then, I'll raise a dog, and my disciples can come visit me occasionally, but they must bring me delicious food."

"And also, also, I want to practice my alcohol tolerance..."

A moment ago, she had said she wouldn't write a retirement plan, but every sentence that followed was the reclusive life she wanted most in her heart at this moment.

Yang Chan lowered her head to hide a faint smile, "If Little Master doesn't mind, you could live here at my Huashan."

"For one, there would be someone to look after you, and for another, Little Master likes the food Yang Chan makes. At that time, you can come over for meals every day."

This would kill two birds with one stone: it would solve Tang An's survival problem and also solve her own problem of lonely days with no one to chat with.

"Good." Tang An thought this plan was excellent, "Then I shall rely on your care in the future."

See? Her retirement plan was already drafted.

The group gathered together, eating and drinking, not realizing that the sky was gradually darkening.

Tang An sat on a peach tree, watching the peach blossom rain fall, set against the beautiful sunset; it was truly a beauty that emptied the soul.

"Right, I almost forgot the main business." She sat up abruptly and leaped down to the base of the tree.

Nezha stood to one side of the tree, having been guarding there silently the whole time.

"No need to help, this little height can't stump me."

Tang An took out the Lie Kong Claw, wanting to test if she could tear open space again.

For one, if she could, she wanted to try going to the Yuxu Palace treasury to conduct a deep cleaning operation for her good Senior Uncle.

For another, it was to see if the plot in the Demon Child World had truly shifted after the Heavenly Dao patched its own bugs.

"Hey~"

"Hey!"

Tang An swiped at the space in front of her, swiping several times; she could see the appearance of the Yuxu Palace treasury, but it was as if the other party had manually hung up the phone—she could only look, but couldn't get in.

Did the Heavenly Dao modify the bug of the Lie Kong Claw here too? Or had Yuanshi Tianzun sensed something and was guarding against her right here?

"Senior Uncle, there should be some trust between people; you can't guard against me like you're guarding against a thief."

Although... her intentions were indeed not pure.

But her original intent was good; she was going to do a deep cleaning for the Yuxu Palace treasury.

"The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi has been taken, do not be greedy again."

Greedy? Hah, he actually said she was greedy?

"Senior Uncle, you have successfully caught my attention. I am determined to take your treasury; even Jesus couldn't save it, I said it!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't understand what Tang An meant.

Although the space rift had closed, and Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't heard what Tang An said.

But it didn't matter; the goal had been set, and the next step was execution.

"Let's go, Nezha, let's assemble."

The two returned to the house, where Yang Jian and Yang Chan were still playing with Chenxiang.

Yaoji's remnant soul had also awakened; the family was truly enjoying a happy time together.

It was just a pity that this scene of happy harmony was about to be interrupted by her.

Tang An first took out the Journey to the West Calamity Book and wrote down two Tribulations on it. One Tribulation was to save 1,111 children, and one Tribulation was to deal with the deer demon.

The book acknowledged this record, which meant that Tang An's two Tribulations counted.

But Tang An still wanted to test it, so she also wrote in the Demon Child World's resistance to the Heavenly Tribulation. The key was that the Journey to the West Calamity Book could actually record it as well.

In other words, could the hardships encountered during their scripture-seeking journey, as well as those related to the Eighty-One Tribulations, be counted among them?

Tang An's eyes lit up, "Then if we go to the Demon Child World again, can it count as another Tribulation?"

"Grinding one Tribulation into four, my goodness, this is too awesome!"

"Let's go, my disciples, we are about to embark on another adventure."

Although there were still a few demons to play with on the road to the West later, playing with any demon wouldn't be as profitable as the Demon Child World.

If there were another Ascension Exam for Mo Wan Nezha this time, she would have to find a way to sneak into the Yuxu Palace treasury no matter what.

She also needed to get a few more of Aunt's claws; in case they couldn't be used after being used a few times, she had to be prepared for contingencies.

Bichiu City.

To ensure that the Journey to the West Calamity Book only counted Tribulations on the road to the West, Tang An and the others returned here first.

Then, from this place, they headed to the Demon Child World.

"Come on, my disciples."

"This time, we must not get separated again."

To be on the safe side, Tang An took out the Immortal Binding Rope and tied the four of them together.

Only after confirming that the Immortal Binding Rope was secure did Tang An cut open a spatial rift.
