Chapter 368
Julia saw that Tang An was unwilling to take her west, and her face showed bitterness.
Tang An couldn't understand either, "Your family has money, has houses; you're a young lady of wealth, carefree, so why go to the Western Paradise?"
Hearing her question, Julia pondered, and for a moment didn't know how to answer.
"I..."
"I don't know what I should do either; hearing that everyone is going to that place, I thought I'd go take a look."
Heh, does that mean she hasn't suffered, lives too comfortably, and is just bored?
"Then have you heard of our Great Tang?"
"Great Tang?"
"Yes, the Great Tang of the East."
"If you want to suffer for no reason, I recommend you go east to the Great Tang. There, you will see a new world you've never seen before." Tang An even took the opportunity to promote the Great Tang's tourism industry.
"The food, clothing, housing, and crops grown there are all different from your Tianzhu."
"If you have good sisters who also want to go to the Western Paradise, why not travel together to the East? I don't know what dangers you'll encounter on the road."
"But in my Great Tang's prosperous age, monsters are not allowed to run rampant. At the very least, I can guarantee your safety in this regard."
Julia tilted her head and sized Tang An up, "Are Great Tang women all like you?"
"Of course not." Tang An folded the Peacock Feather Fan, "Great Tang women are scholars, warriors, merchants, farmers, officials; all kinds of talents are everywhere."
"What men can do, they can do. What men cannot do, there are those among them who can."
"Everyone is themselves, each with their own intelligence, each with their own strengths. Why compare them to me?"
Julia listened to Tang An's speech, her eyes bright. It seemed that compared to the Western Paradise, she wanted to go to the Great Tang even more.
"Alright, I still need to sleep, so I won't see you off; decide where you want to go yourself."
Tang An reopened the fan, covered her face with it, and continued to rest.
Julia still wanted to hear stories about the Great Tang, but seeing that Tang An was truly asleep, she didn't continue to disturb her.
After she left, Tang An picked up the Peacock Feather Fan.
"Jinbao, where are you?"
"Why are you calling me, Sword Master?" The Jinbao Sword came out, acting cheap and having a rather sassy, arrogant air.
"Your tone is indeed cheap enough."
"Sigh, you're killing the donkey after it's done its job, turning heartless, right?"
It couldn't spit, otherwise, with that emotion, it would have at least sprayed Tang An's face with saliva.
"Do you want to hear your own tone? You sound like a little resentful woman."
"I am Qingping, the Qingping Sword! Not a little resentful woman!"
Tang An curled her lips at it, "Alright, enough nonsense, take me to find my Master."
"Hmm?" The Jinbao Sword circled Tang An, "Can't you just call out and go there yourself?"
"Master won't answer me, otherwise why would I ask you for help?"
"Won't answer you? Tang An, you have days like this too?"
"Are you going or not?" Tang An grabbed the hilt of the Jinbao Sword, pretending to spit. "If you don't go, I'm going to spit on you."
"Hey, hey, hey!" The Jinbao Sword flew out with a "whoosh", "Since the Master didn't summon you, it means he doesn't want to see you, so why bother going?"
Tang An took a deep breath, truly losing her patience.
"One!"
"Two~"
She put her hands on her hips, her eyes narrowed, "Th..."
Before she could finish saying 'three', Tang An's figure vanished from the spot along with a burst of green light.
The Jinbao Sword was still acting sassy, not answering Tang An, wanting to see her get frustrated and go wild.
As a result, there was no sound from the other side; it turned its head, and the person was gone!
What the f***! Isn't this a disaster!
It couldn't have lost her, could it?
It's over, it's over, it's over, where did she get lost to?
"Little Master?"
"Tang An?"
"Oh my, oh my..."
It made the Jinbao Sword scurry around in a panic, but it just couldn't find her.
However, it could feel that Tang An was safe.
Just as the Jinbao Sword was about to forcibly return to Tang An's side, Tang An appeared out of thin air again.
"You, you, you, you..."
"You're finally back, where did you go?"
"Who was it? Did the Master take you away? What did you talk to the Master about?"
Tang An sat on a stone stool, poured herself a cup of water, her face showing a relieved and relaxed smile.
"Guess."
The Jinbao Sword circled Tang An several times, its words so dense that it made Tang An feel annoyed, so she simply took it back into her body.
That evening.
Kou Yuanwai's house, inside the steward's room.
Tang An, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha appeared here, full of sneakiness.
"Their window paper is really easy to poke through."
Tang An lowered her voice, peeking inside with one eye open and one eye closed.
"Oh ho ho~" she laughed, a bit silly, and a bit sleazy.
Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha also followed her method to look, each watching a window.
As a result, Nezha turned red in a second and turned away, not daring to look anymore.
Not only did he not look, but he also walked to Tang An's side and blocked her view with his hand.
"What are you doing?" Tang An was confused.
"You are a woman, you..."
"What about being a woman? I'm not a child, you're the one who shouldn't be seeing this." Tang An gently patted his hand away; not only did she watch, but she also took out her phone and recorded it.
After confirming that she had recorded both of their faces, as well as substantial evidence, Tang An turned around with a sleazy smile.
"Now it's done; I have solid evidence to report the Noble Consort Xi for adultery."
"Hmph hmph hmph, I'm not a dumb beauty; I have plenty of strength and means."
She happily put away her phone and swaggered back.
"La la la la la..."
"Who!" Steward Kou's cautious voice came from the room.
"Ah, got carried away." Tang An turned around, and before she could speak, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian each grabbed one of her arms and flew her away.
Nezha hadn't left yet, and Steward Kou came out of the room pulling up his pants.
It was dark outside, and he couldn't see Nezha's appearance clearly. But he happened to meet Nezha's gaze full of killing intent, which gave him such a fright that he collapsed to the ground.
The third day.
Tang An had rested well and eaten enough delicious food, so she planned to leave this place.
After all, if they didn't leave, Kou Yuanwai wouldn't be able to die. If he didn't die, he couldn't live, and they wouldn't have a tribulation to gather.
Kou Yuanwai tried to persuade them to stay several times, but Tang An's intention to leave was set, so he couldn't say much more.
Only when seeing Tang An off, he put on a grand display and gave many gold and silver treasures for them to use as travel expenses.
And this action of his disturbed many commoners who came to watch and join in the fun.
Someone like him, who flaunted his wealth, would attract other people with ulterior motives, even if he didn't attract the gang of robbers from the original story.
As for those generous gifts, Tang An naturally accepted them without any politeness.
Many commoners sighed, saying that Tang An and her group of ascetics ate other people's food, lived in other people's houses, and could actually have the nerve to accept such generous gifts.
Tang An laughed at the time, thick-skinned? Since they were given for free, why shouldn't she take them? Taking them makes her thick-skinned?
Heh, they should go out and ask about her track record; thick-skinned? If she hadn't robbed Kou Yuanwai's house before the robbers did, she would already be considered a person of integrity.
