Chapter 84: Uncle-competitor? Could his uncle be the Jade Emperor?

The old man wanted to drive Nezha and Yang Jian off the boat, but when he saw Nezha's gaze and Xiaotian Quan baring its fangs, he felt a strange fear in his heart and could only shut his mouth.

"Jiuyue, you and Wukong wait for me on the shore; no need to rush." Tang An waved her hand, greeting Jiuyue and Wukong.

One monkey and one fox, the two of them were flying across the river in the sky.

Crossing a Black Water River was like crossing a small puddle after the rain for them; there was no difference, they just zipped across.

But the old man turned into by the Tuolong rowed the boat very slowly, unhurriedly.

Tang An rubbed her stomach. "At this speed, when will I get to eat king crab? So hungry~"

Nezha looked back at the Tuolong; if it weren't for the fact that Tang An wanted to use him to fish for a dragon, Nezha would have wanted to roast him and eat him directly.

"Swish!"

Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear shot out, entering the water surface, and when he pulled it back, it had already skewered a fish.

"Wow! So amazing!" Tang An clapped her hands in admiration; she really thought it was amazing.

Seeing this, the Tuolong was also stunned for a moment.

But the next second, Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear pointed at the Tuolong, his posture so handsome.

"Either you handle the fish, or I handle you."

"Wow!!!! Even handsomer!" Tang An was practically blinded by his handsomeness.

Nezha glanced at Tang An sideways; without needing to think, he must have been secretly pleased!

At this moment, the Tuolong didn't think Nezha was handsome. He tilted his neck back, looked at the fish delivered to his eyes, and let out a cold snort.

"What big talk!"

The boat instantly moved to the center of the Black Water River, and a black tornado rose up, without any warning, sweeping Tang An, Nezha, Yang Jian, and Xiaotian Quan to the bottom of the lake.

Tang An only felt her vision go black, and when she could see clearly again, she had been swept to the River Mansion and tied up with seaweed.

"Should have said earlier that skewering a fish could speed up the progress!" Would she have had to sway on the boat with an empty stomach?

Seeing Tang An, a mortal, enter the water without a trace of panic, the Tuolong couldn't help but be curious.

"I heard you are the Destined One going to the Western Heaven to seek scriptures. What have you experienced on the journey west? Why have you cultivated such iron guts?"

Tang An shrugged. "I think you should ask what the monsters have experienced."

The Tuolong laughed. "Little girl, you really have big talk." As he spoke, he looked at Yang Jian and Nezha, who were tied up with seaweed.

"I know you two are extraordinary, but once you've entered my Black Water River Mansion, you have no way to escape."

Seeing this, Tang An intentionally "kindly" reminded the Tuolong: "Don't say I bullied you. You'd better let them go first, otherwise, even if your uncle comes, he won't be able to save you."

The Tuolong turned to look at Tang An, as if he had heard a joke.

"Do you know who my uncle is, that you dare to boast such big talk?"

"Big talk?" Tang An signaled him to look at Yang Jian. "Then do you know who his uncle is?"

"Hahaha~" The Tuolong was seeing someone compete with him on uncles for the first time. "Could his uncle be the Jade Emperor?"

"Hey, you guessed right."

"Pfft~" The Tuolong clutched his stomach and laughed, tears almost coming out. "Little mortal, do you really think I don't know who the Jade Emperor's nephew is?"

Tang An looked at Yang Jian, then at Xiaotian Quan. "I think you really don't know."

With such obvious features, it was clear he hadn't had the luck to see Yang Jian.

"Hmph~" The Tuolong flicked his sleeve. "You are just a mortal; how would you know the divine might of the Judicial God?"

Mentioning the name of the Judicial God, Yang Jian looked at the broken seaweed tied to his body, then at Xiaotian Quan. He just remained silent, the corners of his mouth very hard to suppress.

Tang An also couldn't help but shake her head while suppressing the corners of her mouth. Sigh, so helpless. She rarely told the truth a few times, and people didn't believe her. Hard to handle.

"Forget it, why am I chatting with a mortal like you? I'd better go find my beauty and report the good news to her."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Jian or Nezha to speak, and walked away happily with his big teeth bared.

"What is he happy about?" Nezha didn't understand. "Shouldn't he be at death's door?" As he spoke, Nezha wanted to break free from the seaweed binding.

"Hey, hey, hey." Tang An stopped Nezha. "Just stand there and rest for a while. If he doesn't tie us up, how can we have a good show to watch when the West Sea Dragon King comes later?"

She was now full of anticipation, unable to wait to see what the West Sea Dragon King's mood would be when he came and saw them tied up by the Tuolong.

"West Sea Dragon King? Does he dare to come?" Yang Jian didn't think the West Sea Dragon King had the guts. "Could it be that he secretly facilitated this tribulation?"

"It's not the West Sea Dragon King; it's me."

The person speaking was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, with a gentle and intellectual temperament.

"This little woman greets the Destined One."

Whenever Tang An saw someone good-looking, the corners of her mouth would rise uncontrollably. "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."

But the woman knelt directly on the ground. "I ask the Destined One to save my life."

"This little woman used this desperate measure purely because..."

"No need to say more." Tang An signaled her to get up first. "I don't judge without knowing the full picture, but knowing the full picture, it is definitely their full responsibility."

Of course, Tang An held the script and originally knew the full picture.

This place was originally the River Mansion that the Tuolong had occupied. The Tuolong had relied on the West Sea Dragon King's background to bully men and women and occupy the mansion as king. Such a monster deserved to be dealt with properly.

"As expected of the Destined One. Rumors say you have vast supernatural powers and know many things. Seeing you today, it is truly well-deserved."

A look of worship appeared in the eyes of the River God's daughter.

"This little woman will save you now."

"No need." Tang An didn't want to come out. How could she extort something big if she came out after finally pushing the plot forward?

"Why?" The River God's daughter didn't understand.

"Like this, listen to me. You go over now, and you say this to the Tuolong..."

Tang An's mind was now full of pushing the plot. She wanted to eat king crab! She wanted to eat Australian lobster! She wanted to eat abalone!

If she got hungrier, she would eat the dragon!

"Good, good, this little woman understands."

The River God's daughter trusted Tang An extremely and hurriedly did as Tang An said.

Inside the River Mansion, in front of the Tuolong's desk.

"Beauty, you're here?" Seeing the beauty come over, the Tuolong immediately stood up.

The River God's daughter gave a coquettish snort and started acting.

"The Great King said that the West Sea Dragon King is your close relative. Now that the Destined One has been captured, why not invite your uncle to come and enjoy it together?"

"Could it be that you have no relationship with the West Sea Dragon King and were just intentionally deceiving me?"

"Sigh~" The Tuolong walked over and hugged the River God's daughter's shoulder. "It wasn't easy to get the Destined One; let's just enjoy it ourselves. Why go find my uncle?"

The River God's daughter pushed him away gently, moving out of his embrace without a trace.

"It seems the Great King must be lying to me. That uncle of yours is not the West Sea Dragon King at all."

"Beauty~" The Tuolong's heart was almost melting. "How could I bear to deceive you?"

"Since you want to see my uncle, I'll send someone to invite him in the next few days."

"No." The River God's daughter stopped him again. "Such matters must be done by you and me personally to appear formal."

The Tuolong was a bit troubled. "But on the shore, there is still that big disciple of the Destined One guarding. What if..."

"Is the Great King afraid?"

"It's just that if the Great King can't even deal with the Destined One's big disciple, even if you send minor demons, you won't be able to invite the West Sea Dragon King."

How could the Great King admit defeat in front of a beauty? "How could this King be afraid? I'm just afraid of delaying the time."

"Like this, Beauty, you wait here. This King will take that trip to the West Sea Dragon Palace and be back in a flash."

After the Tuolong left, the River God's daughter came over.

"Tsk, they say heroes can't pass the beauty pass, but no one said crocodiles can't pass the beauty pass either."

"Benefactor, hurry and taste this."

Hearing Tang An say she was hungry, the River God's daughter immediately took out some fruit and food to cushion Tang An's stomach, and she fed her personally.

"No wonder ancient emperors knew how to enjoy themselves. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to pass the beauty pass either."

Seeing Tang An enjoying being fed by the River God's daughter, Nezha's expression clearly turned cold.

"Promising."

"Tsk, you're still young; you don't know how to enjoy yourself yet."

Nezha took a deep breath. He wanted to say a few words to her, but thought better of it.

He could only turn his face away angrily, thinking about how to vent his anger on the West Sea Dragon King and the Tuolong later. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
