Chapter 484: Chenxiang Beats His Uncle, Does the Wave Heaven Cloak Display Great Might?
"Godmother!"
"Godmother, Godmother!"
Chenxiang came running over; the little boy had already grown into the likeness of an eighteen-year-old.
Tang An was leaning against the Qianzhang City Tower drinking wine; seeing Chenxiang arrive, she sat up in surprise.
"Hmm?"
"How long have I been asleep? How is it that children grow like bamboo shoots after the rain?"
"Godmother, I heard you woke up, so I came right after sparring with Uncle."
"You? Sparring with your uncle?" Tang An raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure it wasn't your uncle pinning you down and beating you?"
While they were talking, Sun Wukong and the other two arrived. Yang Jian was clearly suppressing a smile, likely afraid that if he laughed out loud, he would make the child cry from frustration.
"Godmother~" Chenxiang held Tang An's left arm and took out his Opening Heaven Axe.
"I can already unleash thirty percent of the Opening Heaven Axe's power now, really."
Tang An exchanged a look with Sun Wukong and the others, and then she too was infected by the urge to suppress a laugh.
The corners of her mouth were almost cramping; she barely managed to hold it back.
"You mean to say, you used the Opening Heaven Axe to beat your uncle until he couldn't fight back?"
Chenxiang shook his head and whispered into Tang An's ear: "I secretly gave Uncle a hand-chop from behind and knocked him out."
"Then I hid all his Magic Treasures. We were both bare-handed, and he couldn't beat me at all."
Tang An supported her forehead; she truly had never felt that suppressing a laugh could be so painful.
"You mean to say, you just hit him with your hand, and you knocked out Erlang Shen, who has achieved Meat Body Sanctification, possesses the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and can withstand the Heaven-Turning Seal, is that right?"
If she accidentally laughed out loud, wouldn't that give the child a psychological trauma?
Chenxiang knew Tang An didn't believe him, "Really, I really knocked Uncle out."
"Chenxiang, look at what that is," Tang An pointed to a great river eight hundred miles wide outside Zhenmo Pass.
Chenxiang naturally knew, "That is the Weak Water Godmother requested from the Heavenly Court, spread here to prevent the Outer Realm Demon Race from suddenly invading."
Tang An pursed her lips, trying her best not to show any amusement.
"Have you ever thought that perhaps those were all your uncle going easy on you?"
Chenxiang stood up, displeased.
"Godmother, I am really very strong now!"
"I know, I know, I know." She laughed obviously, barely able to hold it in anymore.
"Godmother, if you don't believe me, I will spar with Uncle again for you to see."
"Hey, don't... hey!"
The child had reached a rebellious, impulsive age; seeing Tang An didn't believe him, he immediately wanted to wield the Opening Heaven Axe and have a contest with Yang Jian.
"Uncle, this time Chenxiang won't hide your Magic Treasures; let's have another match."
Seeing that Chenxiang had already taken a stance, Sun Wukong and Nezha automatically moved away from Yang Jian's side and ran to sit by Tang An.
"Hey, you two..." Yang Jian really didn't want to fight Chenxiang, because if he used even a little too much force and hurt the child, it was possible that Yaoji and Tang An would both chase him down to beat him.
"Come on, Uncle, Chenxiang will definitely give it his all."
Yang Jian sighed helplessly and looked at his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, Opening Heaven Axe, Golden Bow and silver pellets, Sniper Rifle-style Magical Artifact...
After looking for a long time, he could only look at the Xiaotian Quan beside him.
Xiaotian Quan's fur stood on end, "Master, you can't use me as a Magic Treasure to throw, can you?"
Yang Jian raised his hand to take the cloak off Xiaotian Quan, then looked at Tang An.
"Master, what is this cloak called?" What was it called again? He had forgotten.
"Wave Heaven Cloak." Tang An answered before she realized it; it really was a case of dead memories suddenly attacking her.
She hadn't expected that a joke she made casually back then would actually come true at this moment.
Yang Jian threw out the Wave Heaven Cloak, "Watch closely, Chenxiang, this is a treasure bestowed by your godmother in her early years."
"Be careful!"
"Come on!" Chenxiang was full of fighting spirit.
"Wave Heaven Cloak!" Yang Jian threw out the Wave Heaven Cloak and urged it with Dharma Power; the cloak grew larger and larger, wrapping toward Chenxiang.
Chenxiang gripped the handle of the Opening Heaven Axe with both hands, jumped up, and slashed down, splitting the Wave Heaven Cloak in two.
The bone in Xiaotian Quan's mouth fell to the ground.
Very well, uncle and nephew fighting, and the only one injured is the dog?
"Master, my Wave Heaven Cloak!" Xiaotian Quan was so anxious; every time Chenxiang slashed it open, it felt a pang of pain.
The scene took a turn from this moment on, with two people and one dog in a chaotic brawl.
Tang An choked on her laughter on the city tower; it wasn't easy to be able to see this famous scene in her lifetime.
When Tang An withdrew her gaze and was just about to drink, she inadvertently met Kong Xuan's eyes.
He had arrived long ago, but he didn't speak, just sitting there silently the whole time.
Sometimes he would stare blankly at Tang An; Tang An knew he wasn't looking at her, but rather looking at Yunxiao Xianzi through her.
"Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will make Yunxiao Xianzi wake up."
Kong Xuan smiled, raised his wine pot, and took a large gulp of wine. "Actually, you don't have to be like this."
"Hmm?"
"You don't have to feel like you owe anyone; on the contrary, it is the Three Realms that owe you." Kong Xuan naturally hoped for Yunxiao's return, but he didn't want Tang An to carry an extra layer of psychological burden.
"You are always inadvertently putting pressure on yourself, always wanting to make it up to others."
"In fact, the one you should make it up to the most, the one you should treat the best, is only yourself."
Tang An was stunned for a moment, not expecting the proud Flower Peacock to be capable of speaking such logic.
"As expected of someone who is a confidant to Yunxiao Xianzi." She raised her wine pot, "Cheers."
The half-finished battle between Chenxiang and Yang Jian paused, and he looked toward Tang An, who was drinking.
"Uncle, will this really make Godmother happier?"
He always felt that Tang An shouldn't be drinking alone atop a high building, as if isolated from the world.
In truth, this play was a scene deliberately staged by Yang Jian and Chenxiang, merely to amuse Tang An a little.
"She did smile just now, didn't she?" Yang Jian understood Tang An very well; he knew that at this moment, Tang An was relaxed.
"Then Uncle, are we still fighting?"
"Fight. But from here on out, I won't hold back; it is time to truly test your cultivation."
"Ah???" Chenxiang had not expected it to turn into the real thing; this feeling was exactly the same sense of dread as when Tang An used to spot-check his homework.
"Uncle, don't."
"Don't run, watch the blade!"
"Ah!!! Godmother, help me!!!"
Chenxiang took to his heels and ran; he couldn't win, he absolutely couldn't win.
A few days later, Heavenly Court.
Tang An's Primordial Spirit left her body to handle some matters at the Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing that Tang An had arrived, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were immediately restless, rising to welcome her from far away.
After all, although Tang An held a position in the Heavenly Court, given her status today, he, the master of the Heavenly Court, had no choice but to treat her with the utmost respect.
"Tang gi..." The Jade Emperor felt calling her that was inappropriate, so he wanted to change how he addressed her.
But even if he changed it, Tang An was still a Princess, and it sounded even more like he was taking advantage of her.
"The Jade Emperor need not be so polite; just address me as you did before." Tang An did not have many airs; of course, this was on the condition that she would respond with the same attitude the other party showed her.
The Jade Emperor wiped his sweat; every time Tang An came, it was never for anything good. He did not know what idea she had for the Heavenly Court this time.
"Girl Tang, what is your purpose in coming this time?"
