Chapter 8: Tell your sister, there's a blond guy named Liu Yanchang who is her nemesis
The Generals Heng and Ha cried out that they were wronged, but when it came to reporting the accounts, they were remarkably efficient.
Things like whose mansion was smashed and needed repairs, the mountain gate being burglarized, and the various Magic Treasure, spiritual pills, and millions in incense offerings lost along with the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze Beast...
Nezha himself stood there listening, completely bewildered. When did all this happen? Had he ever been to any mountain gate? Didn't he just run into the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze Beast on the road?
When did he attack a mountain gate, burn down a mansion, and steal so much incense, Magic Treasure, and spiritual pills?
Pure slander, pure and simple slander!
Could Nezha, with his temper, endure this? He was already talking about stabbing his colleagues with his Fire-Tipped Spear.
Fortunately, Yang Jian reacted quickly and, with sharp eyes and fast hands, pulled Nezha back.
"Second Brother, they are bullying us too much!"
"Let's go, back to the Mortal World first."
Yang Jian pulled Nezha, silently bowed to the Jade Emperor, and dragged him down to the mortal realm.
A day in Heaven is a year in the Mortal World.
In the time they had wasted, half a month had already passed down below.
During this half-month, Tang An used the travel money given by Li Shimin to live well, eat well, and even bought the monkey a few sets of clothes, looking quite dashing and debonair.
"Master, Master! Does this look good on me, Old Sun?"
"Good, good, good."
"Master, Master! There's a hat here, hehehe..."
"Buy it!"
"Master, Master..."
"Buy it!"
"Mas..."
"Buy it!"
As Wukong called out "Master" all day long, Tang An's purse grew emptier bit by bit.
It didn't matter; she could always sell Magic Treasure to those little demons later to earn it back.
Who could blame her when the monkey was so obedient and the first to call her Master so sweetly?
Thinking of the Great Sage she had worshipped as a child, now following her so cutely, carrying all sorts of things without complaint, having such a sweet mouth, and being so patient while accompanying her shopping!
This was just too incredibly satisfying!
Tongfu Inn.
By the time Tang An returned, Nezha had already found her.
She didn't know how these immortals found people, but this way, it saved a lot of effort in searching everywhere.
"Come, this is my room. Come in and see the things I bought for you, then we'll set off."
Nezha and the others followed Tang An inside, and as soon as they entered, they saw a huge pile of things on the table and the bed.
"Who did you rob to get all this?"
"Hey, is your Master that kind of person?" Of course, the main reason was that she didn't have the physical strength for it.
Otherwise, if she brought these three disciples along, she would dare to rob the Jade Emperor too.
"The things piled on the bed are all for Wukong. He likes leopard print, but I think it's too flashy and seductive. Take a look at what I bought—how is it?"
Tang An gave the clothes to Wukong and told him to change and see.
Wukong actually liked these clothes, so he listened to Tang An.
He turned around, and he was wearing a black robe with a gold belt; his aura was that of a dark, scheming boss. Paired with his physique and abs, plus a Golden Cudgel, he looked so handsome!
"Handsome! Worthy of being the Great Sage!" Tang An clapped her hands excitedly, focusing on the idea that she would dress up and spoil her own disciple.
Nezha snorted and wanted to slam his Fire-Tipped Spear onto the table, only to realize that the table was so piled up there wasn't even room to put the spear down.
"Tsk, look at you, why are you unhappy again?"
"Everything on this table is yours."
"Hm?" Nezha's eyes brightened, but not wanting to appear too happy, he turned his face away in a haughty manner. "I don't care for them."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you don't care for them, but I do."
Tang An had long since figured out Nezha's ways. "If you have the ability to unpack all the packages on the table in a quarter of an hour, I'll admit you're impressive."
In the past, whenever he heard "I'll admit you're impressive," Nezha would be completely hooked and filled with a competitive spirit.
But today, the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably; his heart was no longer fighting for victory, but feeling warm.
"I'll open them, what's so hard about that."
Nezha held his Fire-Tipped Spear in one hand and said he was going to open those packages.
"Hey, hey, hey! Use your hands! Use your hands!"
His Fire-Tipped Spear was coated in Samadhi True Fire! If he burned them, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
"Using my hands, then." Nezha haughtily put down the Fire-Tipped Spear and began to violently unpack the boxes.
Watching Nezha and Wukong both playing happily on their own, Tang An felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Oh!"
Tang An turned back, intending to ask Nezha what had happened up there, but when she turned, she saw there was another person in the room.
"My goodness, Erlang Shen!"
"So handsome!!!"
When Nezha saw Tang An with stars in her eyes again, he muttered "lovestruck" and continued unpacking his things.
Yang Jian bowed respectfully, "Master."
Tang An was a little flattered; she hadn't expected Yang Jian to call her Master right away.
She looked at her three disciples, her smile looking absolutely worthless.
After all, behind one good-looking face was a handsome face, and behind that was an even handsomer face!
Hahaha! Both handsome and capable of fighting! Who wouldn't be smug being the master of these three!
However, Tang An seemed to recall something and retracted her smile in a second.
She beckoned Yang Jian to lean in mysteriously, "You still have a younger sister, right?"
"Yes."
"Has she been betrothed to anyone?"
"Not yet." Looking at Yang Jian's protective demeanor, it was clear he was unwilling to even think about this matter.
"Let me tell you," Tang An leaned closer to Yang Jian again, "Hurry to Huashan and tell your sister that there is a blond guy named Liu Yanchang who is a jinx to her."
"He jinxes her career, jinxes her fortune, and even jinxes her into having a prison sentence."
Seeing Tang An acting mysterious and not looking like she was joking, Yang Jian immediately turned serious.
"Where did Master hear of this?"
"No need to hear it from anywhere; you forgot I am the Destined One, I can foresee the future."
Yang Jian hesitated, hesitating whether to believe Tang An.
"Tsk, if you don't believe me, just go to Huashan and see for yourself. We will set off first, you can just catch up later."
Yang Jian was somewhat hesitant, "But the journey west, I was supposed to..."
"Rest assured," Tang An patted his chest, "With those two here, no demon can touch me."
"Go quickly, don't let her actually run into that blond Liu Yanchang later!"
Thoughts swirled in Yang Jian's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he respectfully bowed to Tang An.
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, Yang Jian thanks Master for the reminder!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, go on."
Before leaving, Yang Jian looked at Nezha and Sun Wukong, "You two, protect Master well."
Having said that, Yang Jian flew away.
Tang An clapped her hands and asked the System: "Does this count as accumulating Merit? I am saving a little fairy, not letting her be ruined by that blond Liu Yanchang."
The System replied: "Only after the prevention is successful can Merit be calculated."
"Fine, no rush."
Tang An looked at Nezha and Wukong, "Then let's pack up and hit the road too."
"Hit the road?" Nezha looked at the huge pile of things in front of himself and Sun Wukong.
"How do we hit the road?"
"Of course by..." Tang An only remembered halfway through, "Right, without a mount, how do we hit the road?"
If she had known, she wouldn't have let that Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze beast go back first!
"Can you go back now and bring the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze beast back, is there still time?"
Nezha: "..."
"Tsk, you've learned to be bad from Wukong, learning how to send telegrams with your face."
