Chapter 99: They are just monsters! Not turtles in a wishing pool!
"Eighty!"
"Eighty!"
"Eighty!"
Tang An rolled up her sleeves, tired and panting.
And Luli Daxian, lying on the ground getting beaten, was groaning in pain.
One was tired and sweaty, the other was bruised and swollen, too horrible to look at.
"Princess? Great-Grandmother? Ancestor!"
"Please stop making me guess, just say it directly, okay?"
They say a woman's heart is hard to guess, but the heart of a woman who purely wants to convince people with "Virtue" is even harder to guess.
Back to Tang An.
Whatever the Queen put in, Tang An would guess what she wanted, so they would have to take it out.
It didn't count as open robbery, but it was even more ruthless than open robbery.
But these three monsters were too poor; apart from some gold and silver, they didn't even have any extra decent magic treasures.
"What I want? Let me think."
Tang An actually thought about it seriously, but only for a moment.
"I want to eat the mooncakes made by Chang'e herself, I want the immortal clothes woven by Zhinu, I want that beautiful glazed lamp of the Jade Emperor, and I want the lotus throne under Guanyin Bodhisattva's butt."
"Oh right, and Li Jing's pagoda."
Hearing this, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong both smiled and shook their heads helplessly; she really never forgot about the pagoda at any time.
Nezha was somewhat surprised, the smile at the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he turned his face away.
Listening to what Tang An said, Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian's faces grew paler and paler.
Yangli Daxian: "That's just a cabinet, not a wishing pool!"
He was also just a monster; he wasn't a turtle in a wishing pool!
Besides, was she crazy? What kind of wishes were those? Who could satisfy them? Who could satisfy them at all!
At this time, Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha looked at each other; clearly, they already had a plan in mind.
"Look, you two are so incompetent that I can't even bully you."
"Boring."
Tang An sat back on the stool; apart from her three disciples, the people beside her, including the King and Queen, didn't even dare to make a cautious move.
They were afraid; they were afraid that Tang An's disrespectful remarks would really be heard by the immortals, and they would suffer along with her.
They were even more afraid that if Tang An was unhappy, she wouldn't beat Luli Daxian, but would take the Golden Brick and beat them up instead.
"Smack."
Suddenly, Tang An snapped her fingers.
"How about this, let's change the way we play." Tang An remembered that in the Journey to the West she had watched before, there were scenes like beheading or being thrown into an oil pot.
However, their strength was too far from Yang Jian, Wukong, and Nezha's, so it was boring to compare.
"You." Tang An pointed at Yangli Daxian.
"Me?" Yangli Daxian immediately felt bad; he wanted to escape, but found he couldn't escape at all.
"Of course."
"Since you are three National Teachers and claim to have great abilities, of course you have to compare some things to show your abilities."
"Your big brother and second brother have already competed with us; isn't it just you who hasn't shown your abilities yet?"
"I remember, is there one of you who can play with an oil pot?"
Yangli Daxian was so panicked he almost couldn't stand steady; playing with an oil pot wasn't his ability either!
"Don't be so nervous, rest assured, I won't let you go into the oil pot."
Tang An took out the Universe Bag. "Yang Jian, Wukong, you two help me hold it."
"Nezha, come help."
The master and three disciples worked together to take out of the Universe Bag a...
Pot!
To be precise, it was an enlarged Mandarin Duck Pot.
"Come on, I've prepared the pot base; see for yourself if you want to wash up and come down, or if we should help you?"
Yangli Daxian:!!!!!
So she wasn't even pretending anymore? Picking him, it turned out she was just purely greedy!
No, who performs talent shows by performing into a pot?
Who watches performances by holding chopsticks and watching the food perform!
Was she drunk! Or did she eat too many poisonous mushrooms?
"Hmm?" Tang An noticed Yangli Daxian's rich inner activities at this moment.
Although Yangli Daxian's inner activities were very rich, he still "Smack!" and knelt there.
"Great-Grandmother, Ancestor, the three of us know we were wrong, we really know we were wrong."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes." Luli Daxian crawled up and knelt there. "Great-Grandmother, we really know we were wrong."
"That's more like it." Tang An took back the Huntian Ling and skillfully tied it back into her hair.
"Alright, you haven't done any great evil, so your crimes are indeed not punishable by death." Tang An patted her big pot. "But I'm really craving mutton hotpot."
Yangli Daxian was so scared by Tang An's words—one moment talking about the Heavenly Court, the next about the Underworld—that he had just stood up and hadn't even stood steady before kneeling there again.
"Useless." Tang An had also learned Nezha's way of looking down on people. "Why don't you hurry up and take care of the good wine and food, and slaughter pigs and sheep for us?"
"Yes yes yes, yes yes yes yes!"
Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian hurriedly went to handle it; Huli Daxian had already recovered to normal, and he stood on the side, not daring to speak at all.
After all, high is high, but he had seen clearly what kind of torture his brothers had suffered at Tang An's hands.
"Mutton."
"Coming, coming."
"Bamboo shoots."
"Coming, coming."
"Shrimp."
"Coming, coming."
The three National Teachers became waiters in a hotpot restaurant in the palace.
The King and Queen swallowed their saliva watching the master and three disciples eat, so greedy~
But Tang An had disciplined the three National Teachers so obediently that they didn't even dare to speak, and didn't even dare to leave their seats.
"You two don't be idle either, hurry up and write the edict that Chechi Kingdom is offering to Great Tang."
Tang An, while eating shabu-shabu mutton, didn't forget about her national affairs.
"Hey, you'd better be obedient and don't force me to do it. I really want to convince people with 'Reason', but I'm afraid your bodies, which are half-buried in the earth, won't be able to withstand my reasoning."
The King swallowed his saliva and hurriedly wrote the edict in fear.
A Princess of Great Tang was so fierce, easily disciplining several National Teachers. If they didn't know what was good for them, they would be the ones disciplined.
"You, go watch him write, and bring it over when the edict is written."
Tang An placed the Golden Brick on the table. "If you want to play any tricks, first think about whether you are enough to be beaten."
After saying these two sentences, Tang An's expression changed again.
"Yang Jian, don't you want to taste the spicy pot here? How refreshing it is?"
Yang Jian looked at the spicy pot, shook his head, and continued eating his tomato pot.
Sun Wukong was shaken by the spiciness, but it made him high. "Master, Master, my old Sun has never seen this way of eating; it is truly delicious, delicious!"
Nezha's face was red from the spiciness, but he was eating heartily; where was there any image of the Great God of the Three Altars?
"Yang, Yang Jian...?"
Luli Daxian was just about to pour them wine, but hearing this address, his hand clearly paused.
It couldn't be the Yang Jian they thought, could it?
"Wow! Nezha, you actually eat lotus root?"
"Born from the same root, why be so impatient to fry each other!" Then Tang An also picked up a piece, because if she was a moment slow, she wouldn't be able to eat it!
"Ne, Nezha???" Yangli Daxian hurriedly held onto the chair beside him; his legs were already not listening to him.
Great Sage? Could the Great Sage be... the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?
Nezha is... the Great God of the Three Altars?
Yang Jian is the Judicial God, the True Lord Erlang who listens to the call but not the proclamation!
He, they... ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
