Chapter 80

Jilei Shan, Moyun Dong.

Tang An and her four disciples had arrived; looking at such an impressive cave dwelling, it was quite rare.

"No wonder they call him Niu Mowang."

Comparing the two, the monsters they had encountered before were simply not on the same level as this cave dwelling.

Saying this, Tang An looked at Honghai'er, "What are you still standing there for? Call for someone."

"Call for what?"

"Call for help, if you don't call, how will your father come out?"

Honghai'er rolled his eyes at Tang An and pouted stubbornly, but even though he was stubborn for a moment, he still obediently called for someone.

"Dad~ help~ I've been kidnapped by the Destined One~"

"Slap~" Tang An gave his head a tap, "Did you not eat? Call louder."

"You know I haven't eaten?"

Honghai'er felt even more aggrieved when he mentioned this; he, the dignified Great King of the Holy Infant, had been bullied by the four of them for half a day, hadn't even eaten a meal, and was just tied up here!

He was still a child, and he still needed to grow!

"Call." Nezha brandished his gleaming Fire-Tipped Spear, causing Honghai'er's anger level to instantly drop to zero.

No choice, he couldn't beat them, couldn't beat them at all.

"Dad! Hurry out and save me, I'm really about to be bullied to death by them!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

These few shouts sounded quite genuine, as if they came from the bottom of his heart, not at all like he was acting.

Not long after, the stone door of Moyun Dong opened.

"Wah-ya-ya! Who dares to bully my son!"

Niu Mowang came out wielding his iron rod, wearing armor, draped in a majestic cloak, with two bull horns on his head; he looked very burly and domineering.

When he saw clearly who was in front of him, he froze for a moment, and then froze again and again.

"Worthy Brother!"

Niu Mowang recognized Sun Wukong at a glance, but he clearly couldn't figure out why Sun Wukong was together with the Judicial God and the Great God of the Three Altars.

"Niu Mowang, shall we go inside and talk?" Tang An beckoned to him, finding some sense of presence.

Niu Mowang sized up Tang An, "The Destined One, is actually a mortal woman?"

"Hey, what's wrong with being a woman? I don't like hearing you say that."

Niu Mowang seemed to glance at the sky, then turned his face and sneered: "So what if you don't like it? How dare you kidnap Niu Mowang's son?"

"Release him immediately!"

Seeing this, Yang Jian's peripheral vision also seemed to glance at the sky, but he didn't make any move.

Nezha naturally protected Tang An, saying coldly: "Niu Mowang, have you been living a peaceful life for too long?"

Sun Wukong, at this moment, was playing the role of a peacemaker.

He would persuade Niu Mowang for a while, then persuade Nezha for a while.

"How about this, two brothers, let's go into the cave to drink and talk, how about that?"

"Gurgle~" Tang An looked down at her stomach, "Fine." She was truly hungry.

Niu Mowang snorted coldly, flicked his cloak, and returned to the cave first.

However, the cave door wasn't closed, letting the four of them enter.

Inside Moyun Dong, at the banquet table.

Niu Mowang sat in the seat of honor; as soon as he sat down, a stunning beauty came up to greet him.

"Great King~"

That delicate, tender voice—it gave Tang An a shiver.

Both crisp and numbing, truly worthy of being a vixen.

However, she didn't look as pure-blooded as Jiuyue, and her charm couldn't compare to Jiuyue's, so in Tang An's view, the Jade-Faced Fox was still a bit lacking.

As soon as the Jade-Faced Fox arrived, she leaned against Niu Mowang as if she were boneless.

Niu Mowang touched the Jade-Faced Fox's hand and comforted her in a low voice.

"My precious beauty, I am going to chat and drink with my worthy brother, why don't you go to the back cave and wait for me?"

Then Niu Mowang whispered to the Jade-Faced Fox: "Those two, one is the Judicial God, the other is the Great God of the Three Altars; it's dangerous here, go back and hide quickly, and let me, Old Niu, handle this."

The Jade-Faced Fox clearly didn't want to leave, but was half-pushed and half-coaxed by Niu Mowang, and taken away by minor demons.

Watching the two of them, Tang An couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

You have to say, calling someone a vixen is actually a compliment. She hoped someone would call her a vixen; if they called her that, didn't it just mean she was good-looking and had a lot of money?

Things like that, the more they cursed, the better; she wouldn't mind at all.

Tang An silently ate gossip while silently eating a chicken leg. In any case, coming to this Moyun Dong was very friendly to her gossip brain cells and her stomach.

After the Jade-Faced Fox left, Niu Mowang dismissed those on both sides.

At this time, only Niu Mowang, Honghai'er, and Tang An's group remained.

Niu Mowang chanted spells repeatedly, sealing off the cave dwelling to prevent others from investigating.

"Worthy Brother!"

Niu Mowang suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with hot tears.

"Worthy Brother~ are you, are you doing well?"

He and Sun Wukong were sworn brothers; when they were once high-spirited, they even boasted about attacking the Heavenly Court together.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Niu Mowang sighed, turning his face to the side, unable to face Sun Wukong directly. "Big Brother has failed you!"

Sun Wukong was momentarily puzzled, "Where does this failure come from?"

Niu Mowang sighed again and slowly explained to the group.

His attitude before and after was like two different people.

Before long, Tang An was full and understood everything.

It turned out that back then, Sun Wukong's six sworn brothers were supposed to help him level the Lingxiao Palace. But for some reason, when the agreed time arrived, the other great demons lost contact and couldn't rendezvous with him.

When Niu Mowang intended to go support Sun Wukong alone, people from the Buddhist faith stepped in.

They didn't attack Niu Mowang and the minor demons, but blocked Niu Mowang's path to save Sun Wukong, and advised him to think more about Princess Tieshan and the fetus in her womb, not to get involved in causality and right-and-wrong, and not to implicate his wife and child.

Therefore, Sun Wukong was left isolated and helpless in the chaotic battle at the Heavenly Court, and was finally pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha.

Hearing this, Tang An raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Journey to the West Calamity, so it started being arranged from that time."

Saying this, Tang An asked Niu Mowang again, "You just said all that, aren't you afraid we'll sell you out?"

Wukong had been pressed for so many years, and Niu Mowang had never appeared, nor had he offered any explanation. But now, why was he explaining?

Was it because he had been controlled by others for so many years?

Niu Mowang looked directly at Tang An and bowed to her.

"Please don't blame me for what I said outside the cave just now, Destined One."

Tang An waved her hand, "I know you are the Big Brother that Wukong swore an oath to; he values relationships the most, so I won't make things difficult for Wukong."

"Otherwise, why do you think I specifically captured Honghai'er to find you, and why did I follow you into this cave?"

Since she was full and satisfied, it was time to get down to business.

But before getting down to business, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

"Des..."

"Don't speak yet, listen to me."

Tang An stepped on a stool and looked at Niu Mowang with a devil-may-care attitude. "I played along with your act, we saved your child for you, we can't have worked for nothing, right?"

"I'm not greedy, I just want some gold, silver, magic treasures, pills, spirit herbs, and the like."

"You are the dignified Niu Mowang, and you're still guarding the Jade-Faced Fox's millions in assets; don't tell me you can't bring it out."
