Chapter 529

Tang An stroked Jiuyue's head, wanting to comfort her.

But before Tang An could even speak, she felt a wave of weakness and dizziness brought on by her impending dissipation.

Just as she was about to collapse to the ground, Sun Wukong and Yang Jian grabbed her arms from both sides.

Nezha appeared behind her and placed his hands on Tang An's back.

The three of them simultaneously channeled their Primordial Spirit power into Tang An, making her Primordial Spirit feel less weak.

"You..."

"When did you arrive?"

Or rather, looking at their expressions, it seemed more like they had been following her the entire way.

"I didn't expect I had become so weak that I couldn't even notice you following me."

After Tang An felt a bit better, she severed the connection of fate between the four of them. And they, in turn, could no longer channel Primordial Spirit power to Tang An.

"Master, you..." Yang Jian had not expected Tang An to do this.

Tang An just smiled, "I am about to disappear; I cannot continue to affect your fates."

"Don't be foolish and channel Primordial Spirit power to me; it's useless."

She had to do this, even though the action seemed exceptionally cruel.

Yet Tang An knew deep down that if she didn't, when she dissipated, the three of them would risk their lives and crazily damage their own Primordial Spirits to save her.

From beginning to end, she wanted to protect the lives of the three of them; how could she become a burden to them at a time like this and damage their foundations?

"Since you're all here, and I still have a little time, why not walk with me?"

Tang An didn't know if she could finish the Journey to the West, but it didn't matter anymore; she would just go wherever the road led.

"Okay."

All four of them agreed, and Jiuyue also handed over the affairs of Qingqiu to someone she trusted in the clan to handle temporarily.

They set off again, taking Tang An with them.

Great Tang, Chang'an.

Tang An arrived at the place where everything began; every brick and tile here was the same as before, with no difference.

"Do you remember?" Tang An looked at Nezha, "It was right here that you deliberately tried to scare me."

"If I hadn't read child psychology, I really would have been scared by you."

Recalling the scene of her first meeting with Nezha, Tang An couldn't help but want to laugh.

Nezha also looked at the place where they first met, a faint smile on his face.

It was fortunate that he came that day; it was the most correct decision he had made in his life.

"By the way."

Tang An pointed to the Wealth Gathering Ring on Nezha's hand, "Your magic treasures are all inside, you didn't forget to take them out, did you?"

"Mm."

"How about you transform one for me again?"

"Transform into what?"

"Just like at the beginning, like a tsundere, arrogant kid, saying one thing but doing another, showing off your magic treasures to me."

"Alright."

"Huh?" Tang An thought Nezha would refuse without a second thought to such an embarrassing thing.

Unexpectedly, he agreed without a second thought.

Nezha transformed back into his initial appearance; at that time, he truly hadn't resolved his inner conflict, just a boy with a feminine appearance.

He snapped his fingers, recreating the initial scene.

Tang An also saw the version of herself from the beginning, cowardly, unskilled, and playful.

"Tsk, why is the little kid acting so cool? You're clearly very cute."

"Let go!"

"Ah!" Tang An was startled, which even surprised Nezha.

"Is this the Fire-Tipped Spear? So the legendary Fire-Tipped Spear looks like this?"

"Universe Ribbon! This is the Universe Ribbon, right? Nezha, your magic treasures are all so cool, so stylish!"

"What about the Wind Fire Wheels? Let me see the Wind Fire Wheels."

Nezha looked at Tang An with great disdain, as if despising her lack of experience.

But the next second, Nezha summoned the Wind Fire Wheels.

"Ride them, ride them and let me see."

"What a hassle!" Nezha grumbled, but still stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheels, holding the Fire-Tipped Spear and the Universe Ribbon.

"Wow!!!"

"So cool! Whose Nezha is this, how can he be so cool!!!"

Nezha almost lost himself in the praise, desperately suppressing the corners of his mouth from curling upward.

Tang An, watching this scene in the courtyard, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The 'Secretly Pleased Brother' is truly the 'Secretly Pleased Brother'; it turns out he had already started being secretly pleased back then.

But as she laughed, why did her vision become blurred with tears?

As Nezha performed along with the illusion, he looked back at Tang An and saw her teary eyes.

"What? Moved to tears by my acting?"

Tang An laughed through her tears and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Not only the 'Secretly Pleased Brother', but also the 'Arrogant Brother'."

She stood up and looked around the courtyard, as if wanting to deeply imprint all of this into her mind. And the maids coming and going in the Princess Mansion couldn't detect their presence at all.

"By the way, is there paper and a pen?"

"Yes." Nezha took out paper and a pen from the Wealth Gathering Ring.

"Yang Jian, can you write for me?" She couldn't hold a pen anymore; of course, even if she could, her handwriting wouldn't be as good as Yang Jian's.

"Just tell me what you want to write, Master."

"Okay."

Tang An wanted to give this letter to Li Shimin.

She didn't dare to say goodbye to Li Shimin in person; for one, she didn't want to experience the pain of life and death separation. Secondly, she couldn't bear to see Li Shimin, an old man, send off a young person.

After everything was written, Tang An read the letter once and then handed it to Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, sorry to trouble you with a trip."

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and said, "Wait for me, Master, I'll be back in a flash."

While Sun Wukong went to deliver the letter to Li Shimin, Tang An took Nezha and Yang Jian to another place.

This place was where Tang An officially began her Journey to the West, and where Li Shimin saw her off.

"Hey, Nezha. When I was a 'one-cup-down' drinker back then, what were you actually thinking?"

She remembered that before she drank that farewell wine and fainted, she saw Nezha's expression was very subtle.

Nezha couldn't help but smile, "I was thinking that it turns out one can poison someone like that; if it really worked, I would go and poison Li Jing too."

"Hiss, little kid, your thoughts are very dangerous."

"But I like it."

Tang An leaned against the wall, looking at the past scenes like a bystander.

She didn't notice at all the change in emotion in Nezha's eyes when she said, "But I like it."

"Tell me, why was I a 'one-cup-down' drinker?"

"Also, why didn't I ask that cheap father for more travel expenses back then?"

Given her style of robbing people later, she really did ask Li Shimin for too little travel money back then.

Yang Jian laughed, "Master can go and ask now; the Tang Emperor will guarantee to give you anything."

"No no no." Tang An shook her finger, "What's given is boring; I just like robbing."

"A 'hardcore bandit' style Journey to the West, robbing all the way, is the essence of our scripture-seeking team."

Well, to put it bluntly, she was just mischievous, feeling that things given for free weren't as satisfying as things robbed.
