Chapter 434: The Public Toilet Everyone Wants to Check In At, the Kind Where You Actually Get Into a Fight

"Going back?" Nezha asked Tang An.

"Mm." Tang An nodded, her expression somewhat weary.

"Are we teleporting back, or taking the car?"

Tang An thought for a moment, "I want to go for a drive."

"Mm."

On a deserted stretch of road, Tang An took the car out from her Wealth Gathering Ring.

Nezha sat in the driver's seat, and Tang An sat in the passenger seat.

"You know how to drive?" Tang An was somewhat surprised.

Nezha leaned over and helped her fasten her seatbelt. "I learned after watching once."

Of course, he had actually secretly practiced beforehand when Sun Wukong and Yang Jian wanted to drive out for fun.

"As expected of you." Tang An leaned against the window, feeling at ease, and rolled it down. "Let's go?"

"Where to?"

"I don't know, let's just go wherever the road takes us." Tang An only just realized that no matter where she was, she was like a rootless duckweed, with no family waiting for her to return.

Nezha took out all sorts of lollipops in various flavors from his Universe Bag.

He could tell Tang An was in a very bad mood, and Tang An had once said that eating candy could make one feel better. If the mouth is sweet, the heart won't be as bitter.

"Let's go home."

"Home?" Tang An was somewhat surprised.

"Mm, home."

Tang An suddenly smiled, "Right, home."

Even if there was no blood relation, given the bond the four master and disciples had forged along the way, they could be considered an inseparable family.

On the way home.

Nezha drove the car very steadily; as Tang An felt the breeze, with a lollipop still stuffed in her mouth, she unknowingly fell asleep in peace.

He parked the car steadily on the side of the road and took a blanket to drape over Tang An.

The way she looked while sleeping was no longer the boisterous, restless appearance from before. Instead, it was quiet, with a touch of serene, mature beauty.

The wind stirred her hair, and Nezha carefully brushed it aside with his hand, not letting the hair disturb her sleep.

"Clearly already so tired, yet you still have to put on such a heavy shell." In Nezha's eyes, there was nothing but shattered heartache.

He wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, but he restrained himself and clenched his hand.

"When will everything end, when will you truly be free?"

If he could choose, he would rather be the one to guard the so-called Zhenmo Pass, leaving her free in the Three Realms; at the very least, she would be truly happy.

But she had lost her loved ones, lost her spirit, lost her freedom, and also lost her true happiness.

His eyes were slightly red; he really wanted to hug her and tell her that if the sky fell, he could carry it for her.

But now his cultivation was far inferior to hers, and he couldn't even bring himself to say those words.

He also knew that if the sky really did fall, she would carry it in front without hesitation, sacrificing herself to protect the Three Realms and their safety.

And her lack of hesitation might be seen by others as righteousness, or because she had no other choice. But in Nezha's eyes, he knew it was because she was tired; she didn't want to continue struggling painfully in this world.

"I still don't know, even now, how to give you the conviction to stay."

"You asked me to go see her several times, but I was unwilling. Because I was afraid, afraid that once you helped me resolve my obsession, you would have no more attachments."

Nezha lowered his gaze, and a teardrop fell, landing on Tang An's hand.

The scalding hot teardrop caused Tang An's finger to tremble slightly, but she did not wake up.

She didn't know how to respond to Nezha, and even less how to respond to his words.

Because as for that question, she herself didn't know either.

Before, she lived for herself; now, she lived for her grandmother and mother to successfully reincarnate, for the bond between the three of them, and for the sake of all living beings.

But if everything she wanted to do was accomplished, what would she do then?

She didn't know; she herself had no answer.

For the next two days, Tang An did not go looking for the other little ghost's head.

Instead, she stayed at home, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. Aside from binge-watching shows, she just lay flat.

Idling away the whole day, yet it was a rare and happy ease.

Yang Jian tried many cooking methods, changing up the ways to make delicious food for Tang An every day.

Sun Wukong would go out to drive for fun from time to time, taking Wutian out to absorb the resentment of workers and students.

The days were plain, but Tang An liked them very much.

"Master."

Yang Jian sat down on the sofa nearby, "I heard from Third Brother that you are going to the island nation?"

"Ah?" Tang An put down her potato chips and checked the time. "No need, my Primordial Spirit can just make a trip."

She had previously said she would send the person who set the array back in ten days, but Tang An was too lazy to move, so she had delayed it for a few more days.

"You guys watch TV here, I'll nap for a bit, my Primordial Spirit is going to leave its shell." Saying this, she lay down on the sofa and fell asleep the moment she touched the cushion.

And after her Primordial Spirit left her body, she naturally arrived at that abandoned hospital.

The national team members had also come to the hospital earlier. But after those people entered, they only surveyed some war crimes evidence on the walls and some remnants of the array.

No matter how they walked around or investigated, they simply couldn't discover that there was still a half-dead person lying in this room.

It wasn't until Tang An arrived that the figure of the person who set the array became visible.

He was lying on the ground, on the verge of death; there were feces and urine on the floor, and blood had flowed everywhere, a black-red mess.

But because there was a trace of Immortal Pill power in his body keeping him alive, his injuries had not continued to worsen, preserving his life; he was not dead yet.

"A small step forward, a giant leap for civilization; don't you even know this basic common sense?"

"You are being very uncivilized like this; what difference is there between you and a dog relieving itself by the side of the road?"

"Oh, even a dog can control its bowels, yet you cannot; you are truly not even as good as a dog."

Tang An pinched her nose, truly feeling that the smell here was too foul.

The person who set up the array used all their strength to lift their head to look at Tang An. "You... you..."

He had not consumed water or rice for over ten days; his voice was hoarse, and he could no longer speak.

"Tsk tsk tsk, let me see."

"There is still defiance in your eyes; it seems your bones are indeed quite hard."

"Fine, then I will be a good person to the end, and see this through to the finish." Tang An formed a seal with one hand and activated the Teleportation Array.

"Now I will send you back, and I have prepared a big gift for you."

Tang An raised her hand and threw him into the array, and she also stepped into the Teleportation Array.

A blue-green light suddenly appeared, and the room was empty.

When the two appeared again, they were at a famous location in an island nation. It was also the famous Jingguo Shrine, a place that all countrymen want to "check in" at by burning, smashing, or splashing feces.

"Do you know what kind of people are enshrined in here?" Tang An lowered her head to look down at the person who set up the array, who was sprawled on the ground.

The person who set up the array looked at Tang An with resentment, "He, heroes!"

"Heh~"

Tang An sneered, feeling extremely speechless. "Are your eyes blind? Inside there are clearly nothing but shameless, degenerate, and inhumane criminals."

"I will not allow you to, in, insult, my great..."

"Insult? What I said is merely the most objective fact." Tang An pulled the person who set up the array with her Dharma Power as if tugging on a dog leash, dragging him into the courtyard of the Jingguo Shrine.

Not a single islander who came here to worship and seek blessings noticed their existence.

"Still want to absorb Faith Power?"

"Just based on you lot? Are you worthy?"
