Chapter 294: You

Demon Child World, Chentang Pass.

"Whoo-hoo~"

Compared to the first time she traveled through, Tang An clearly had experience this time.

She spread her arms, enjoying the process of falling freely from the sky.

When she was only about three meters from the ground, the Red Armillary Sash slid from her hair, wrapped around her waist, and placed her steadily on the ground.

"Thrilling!"

Tang An smoothed out her hair, which had been blown into a wild mess, and turned to look at Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha, who had just flashed into existence beside her.

"It's a good thing we used the Immortal Binding Rope this time; we actually ended up in the same place."

"But where has the plot progressed to now?" Tang An looked around carefully, then saw Taiyi Zhenren casting a spell by the Lotus Pond not far away.

"Holy crap!"

No way, she went through all that trouble, and Nezha and Ao Bing's physical bodies were still destroyed?

"Wait, no." Tang An saw Mo Wan Nezha standing perfectly fine beside the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus.

That is to say, Mo Wan Nezha's body was preserved, but the Tribulation that should have been suffered by the Spirit Pearl still manifested on Ao Bing.

It perfectly fulfilled the ordeal of the Spirit Pearl suffering, its physical body being destroyed, and needing to be reshaped with a lotus.

"Heavenly Dao, you are truly..."

The words Tang An wanted to curse were stuck in her throat; the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense that Tang An wanted to curse, and faint thunder was already brewing.

"Tsk, are you that sensitive?"

Just as they were speaking, movement appeared on the ground in front of the four master and disciples.

Two Barrier Beasts and that Sea Yaksha emerged from underground.

The three of them had their backs to Tang An and the others, and the Sea Yaksha turned to run.

"Bye-bye~"

"Bang!"

"Bye-bye" was said in the previous second, and the demon was knocked senseless by Yang Jian's blade in the next.

The two Barrier Beasts didn't notice what happened here and were still fighting obliviously.

"Good thing no one saw, here."

"What for?"

"I'll beat you half-dead, you beat me half-dead, and we'll say the Yaksha did it."

"Oh~ If Lord Li sees us beaten so badly, he won't blame us."

Then, they started fighting.

Taiyi Zhenren heard the commotion behind him, turned his head, and saw Tang An and her three companions.

"Oh my, where did you lot hide off to? Are you hurt?"

Tang An looked back toward Chentang Pass; the fighting had already started there.

"I'm fine, but these two little things are quite fun. You don't mind if I take them, do you?"

These were, after all, three-second defense concept gods; keeping them would be a decent help.

Mo Wan Nezha looked toward the direction of Chentang Pass, "Since you've come, can you help me guard him?"

Tang An couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, "Sure, sure, sure, but you have to do me a favor too."

"What favor?"

"Participate in the Ascension Exam and find an opportunity to enter the Yuxu Palace treasury."

"Fine!" Mo Wan Nezha didn't hesitate at all.

"Then go, leave this place to us." Tang An knew that as long as Mo Wan Nezha was still alive, the group of sea demons invading Chentang Pass wouldn't be able to stir up any major trouble.

"I'm going too." Nezha looked at Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, "Brother Monkey, Second Brother, you must ensure her safety."

"Go, go." Sun Wukong knew that regarding the matter of Chentang Pass, Nezha would certainly not sit idly by.

With the two of them going together, it would be enough to ensure the safety of Chentang Pass.

Tang An, Sun Wukong, and Yang Jian came to Taiyi Zhenren's side and saw Ao Bing, who had just finished reshaping his physical body.

If Tang An remembered correctly, the next part was the scene where Shen Gongbao appeared, followed by the three dragons breathing fire to kill his own nephew.

"Taiyi Zhenren, tell me what happened after we left."

Taiyi Zhenren sighed melancholically and recounted the origin to Tang An.

It turned out that after Tang An and the others left, the Heavenly Dao suddenly brought down a Heavenly Punishment.

But this time it wasn't a Heavenly Tribulation; it wasn't aimed at Nezha, but at the Spirit Pearl, Ao Bing.

The Heavenly Dao learned that the Dragon Clan had deceived the Heavens, so it sent down a Heavenly Punishment, determined to beat Ao Bing back to his original form.

Mo Wan Nezha wanted to enter the Heavenly Punishment to help, but the Heavenly Dao did not allow it, so no matter what, he couldn't get in.

It was Taiyi Zhenren who used the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus to merge into the Heavenly Punishment, barely protecting Ao Bing's soul. After that, it was time to reshape Ao Bing's physical body.

"Sure enough, it's not much different from what I guessed."

"The Heavenly Dao doesn't allow the Demon Pill to intervene, but it allows the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus to enter, helping to correct the plot, thereby completing the result of the Spirit Pearl's physical body being destroyed from another angle."

As Tang An was speaking, the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus opened, and Ao Bing's figure appeared within it.

"Good treasure." Tang An's eyes lit up as she looked at the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus; she waded into the pool and dragged Ao Bing out of the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus.

Then, she tucked the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus into her Wealth Gathering Ring.

Taiyi Zhenren: Huh?

How did she go over there with such a straight face and then take the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus away?

He even thought Tang An was going to check on Ao Bing's condition. He never imagined that not only did she push Ao Bing out, but she also took the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus?

Ao Bing was also full of confusion; his physical body had just formed, and he had no idea what had happened.

"I say, fellow Daoist, don't make a scene, that Treasure Lotus is mine."

"Just because you say it's yours doesn't make it yours. If you call out to it, will it answer you?"

"Ah?" Taiyi Zhenren looked at the person before him, then thought back to that day, the heroic silhouette who single-handedly offered a treasure to save the commoners of Chentang Pass...

These two children, are they really the same person?

"Alright Taiyi Zhenren, you aren't familiar with me, so you don't understand my style. Once you get to know me, you won't find anything I do strange."

"It is merely a Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus; I only want it to save people and help them resurrect."

"Think about it this way: I saved your precious disciple's life. If you trade the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus for it, are you really at a loss?"

"Uh... I..."

Taiyi Zhenren was almost being bamboozled by Tang An to the point of being unable to think straight, "Is, is it really like that?"

"Tsk, don't worry about so many details."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'."

"Don't copy the way I talk."

"Because the way you talk is fun."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Shen Gongbao found them.

Even though he had participated in the resistance during the Heavenly Tribulation, the death of Ao Bing had caused him to lose everything.

Therefore, saving people is one thing, and killing people is another; the two do not interfere with each other.

"Yo, Eunuch Shen, long time no see."

Shen Gongbao had not expected to see Tang An and the others again, "Ah, Shen Gong, Gong, Gongbao!"

"Not important."

Heh, she even started rhyming?

Is this a matter of rhyming?

"Master!"

"Disciple."

Seeing that Ao Bing was not dead, Shen Gongbao finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"Shen Gongbao, I saved your disciple, how should you thank me?" Taiyi Zhenren smugly claimed credit.

"Ao Bing, come back quickly." But Shen Gongbao did not seem to appreciate it.

Seeing this, Tang An used the Red Armillary Sash to bind Ao Bing. It seems that if she doesn't follow the script of the Heavenly Dao, her treasure vault won't be easy to obtain.

"Taiyi Zhenren, it's your turn."

"My turn for what?"

"Taunt, use that classic line of yours."

"Classic line?" Taiyi Zhenren thought for a moment, "You hit me?"

"Right, but it's still missing a bit of that punchy, asking-to-be-beaten feeling."
