The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Driven by hunger, the smell of blood didn't disgust him; instead, it made his mouth water, and he wanted to open it and swallow the flesh to replenish his body's deficiencies.

Coupled with the scorching sun of the past few days, he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.

"Monk, are you regretting it now?"

Suddenly, a crisp sound reached his ears.

Tang Sanzang opened his eyes in confusion. Was he so hungry that he was hallucinating?

"Stop thinking about it. You're not hallucinating, and you should recognize who I am."

"Immortal Bai Zhi??"

Tang Sanzang was initially confused, but after searching his memory, he finally matched the voice with Bai Zhi's image.

He was pleasantly surprised to realize that it was the blank paper speaking to him.

Could it be that he was about to escape from a desperate situation? He thought he was doomed.

"Now you know to call me an immortal? My brother Wukong is not much less capable than me, so why did you drive him away?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang fell silent for a long time before saying with a wry smile, "Immortal, it is this humble monk's fault."

"Don't give me that, monk. I think you're not realizing your mistakes, but rather because you know you're going to die."

Bai Zhi had read Journey to the West, so how could she not know the monk's personality?

Being pedantic is an understatement; to put it bluntly, he's stubborn and inflexible. This time, he said he knew he was wrong, but later, during the incident with the real and fake Monkey Kings, after the monkey killed several bandits to save Tang Sanzang, this guy's old habits resurfaced. He thought the monkey was wild and untamable, and forcibly took Tang Sanzang away by talking to him.

"Do you remember what I told you before? Leave professional matters to professionals. You're the kind of person who's incompetent but obsessed with doing things. You don't have any skills yourself, but you insist on ordering capable people around."

"This humble monk is only acting out of compassion; I have no intention of driving Wukong away."

He spoke up in defense.

"Heh, do you remember what you said back then? You said you would trust everyone, but you would rather believe strangers than the people who have always protected you."

"Monk, tell me, is this your Buddhist path?"

When I first watched the TV series "Bai Zhi", I thought this part was just too stupid. She didn't listen to the Monkey King, but loved to listen to the gossip of other people.

However, after spending more time online, Bai Zhi felt that this was perfectly normal.

Some people are just like that; they love to believe in their own beliefs.

"Alas, Amitabha."

Tang Sanzang was speechless. This was indeed as Bai Zhi had said. Although he said it, he would not actually do it as he said it.

"What's that monster yelling about here? Is it going to suddenly attack and hurt someone?"

The soldiers guarding the area gathered around and discussed the matter with some fear.

"Hey, what are you afraid of? The king's son-in-law, Young Master Kui Mu, is very powerful. If this monster dares to act recklessly, he will suppress it in no time."

The soldier casually poked Tang Sanzang in the cage with his spear, causing the monk to wince in pain once again.

"Monk, I'll give you a chance. I can save you this time, and even call that monkey back, but you must promise not to use the headband indiscriminately again, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang disregarded the pain from the spear and hurriedly asked, "Is what the immortal said true?"

"Do you really think I, the dignified Lord of Abundant Wealth and Vast Land, would lie to you?"

"This humble monk agrees! This humble monk agrees!!"

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed; these past few days, he had truly been thinking of Sun Wukong's kindness.

If Sun Wukong were here, Kui Mulang wouldn't have caused so much trouble. Basically, one blow from the monkey's staff would have been enough to end it all.

"Look, monkey, it's done!"

High up in the royal palace of Baoxiang Kingdom, Bai Zhi smiled and said to the monkey, "Later, I'll go with you to deal with Kui Mulang and show that monk a thing or two, so he won't just let his usual petty squabbles go unnoticed. He really doesn't know what divine powers are."

"Xiaobai, thank you for doing so much for me."

The monkey said seriously.

"We're all friends here, this is nothing. Let's go. Remember to go easy on Kui Mulang when you beat him up later, he's had a tough time too."

"it is good!"

Sun Wukong's favorability has been increased to 95.

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then quickened her pace.

"Oh dear, what a pity. It would be great if this favorability system could be displayed for pretty girls. It's a waste to give this to this stinky monkey."

"Hmm... Once the favorability rating reaches 100, I can summon the monkey's shadow in the Star Iron World. It could even act as a mysterious guest defender at the Martial Arts Ceremony~"

"Hehe, let these challengers try it out and see what the remnants of the Great Sage really are."

Bai Zhi arrived at the palace where Kui Mulang lived, her mind filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

"Wake up, the show's almost over, it's time to wrap it up."

Bai Zhi walked into the building, which reeked of alcohol, and patted the unconscious Kui Mulang.

"Who dares to pat me like that... uh... it's Zhenjun, cough cough, I just drank a bit too much and said some nonsense, please don't mind it."

Kui Mulang was still half-asleep when he saw Bai Zhi's face, and he immediately sobered up and slapped his mouth.

Then he saw the monkeys next to him.

"It's the Great Sage! Oh dear, you have no idea how much Bai Zhi Zhenjun has been running around for you. Even I, a demon, am moved by Bai Zhi Zhenjun's boundless righteousness."

“The Great Sage and the True Lord have come here to save that monk, right? It’s alright, I can take a beating. You guys beat me up later, and I’ll say a few words to that monk while I’m at it. I guarantee that monk will never dare to treat the Great Sage like that again.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi immediately cast an admiring glance at Kui Mulang.

This guy is really good with words; he's practically a master at boosting your popularity.

Chapter 761 Bai Zhi, captured by Laozi

"Kui Mulang, you might feel a little pain later, so please bear with it~"

"I understand, I understand. I have to act. I'll definitely pretend to be in a lot of pain. After all, mortals only judge by appearances. If you're not assertive enough, those mortals will definitely take advantage of you."

Kui Mulang nodded repeatedly, "After all, although you are not tall, your abilities are top-notch."

……

Looking at Kui Mulang, Bai Zhi said meaningfully, "Now there's no need to pretend anymore."

Kui Mulang blinked, not understanding what Bai Zhi meant.

But after Bai Zhi patted him, he suddenly felt a powerful force strike him.

Kui Mulang: ?!

Before he could even react, he was embedded in the wall.

"Xiao Bai, did you hit me that hard?"

The monkeys were startled by Bai Zhi's sudden attack. This Kui Mulang wasn't particularly strong; wouldn't it kill someone?

"Don't worry, he won't die. It's just acting."

"Are you really acting?"

Seeing the Divine Lord plunge his sword into Kui Mulang's body, the monkey smirked. It looked like he was going to kill him.

Kui Mulang watched in despair as the Divine Lord lowered his blade, the power of which he suspected could obliterate his soul.

He couldn't understand what he had done to offend Bai Zhi, since she had been perfectly fine just moments ago.

Could it be that saying, "Though short, one's abilities are boundless"?

My lord, I wasn't saying that only shallow people would judge your abilities based on appearances. I absolutely didn't mean to insult you!

These thoughts flashed through Kui Mulang's mind, followed by the Divine Lord's slash plunging down fiercely.

Endless divine lightning struck him, leaving his mind blank.

"You audacious fiend, how dare you wreak havoc on mortals here! Today, I, the True Lord, will subdue you!"

The sound that echoed through the heavens and earth pulled Kui Mulang back to reality.

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched his chest.

But unlike the severe injuries he had imagined, the place seemed no different from before, as if the massive attack had never happened.

However, the huge craters around him told him that the attack had indeed occurred.

"Demon, why don't you surrender immediately?"

When the voice came again, Kui Mulang immediately realized that Bai Zhi had definitely held back. Although he didn't know why he hadn't died despite the pain, surrendering was the best option now.

"I am willing to surrender! You are a benevolent and righteous ruler! I am willing to surrender!"

At this moment, the king, who had been awakened by the loud commotion, hurriedly ran over.

"This...son-in-law, what's going on?"

Looking at Kui Mulang kneeling on the ground, the king seemed somewhat confused.

"Your Majesty, your son-in-law is most likely a monster in disguise."

The minister next to the king immediately spoke up, and the other ministers nodded in agreement.

"what?"

The king was somewhat surprised.

"This...don't you know?"

The ministers gaped in disbelief. “If that monk were a monster, how could he have been so easily trapped by your son-in-law? And if your son-in-law is so powerful, how could he be so unknown?”

"We thought it was a delaying tactic of yours, to keep this monster son-in-law here while you went to find a more powerful sorcerer to subdue him."

"Oh dear, how did you know that's what I was thinking? Actually, I discovered a long time ago that this person was a monster, but I held back for the time being because of the monster's strength."

"But now that a celestial being has come to subdue the demon, I naturally have no more worries."

As he spoke, the king looked behind Bai Zhi and said, "Thank you, old immortal, for coming to our rescue. We have no way to repay you."

"Old god?"

Bai Zhi listened to the king's words and was a little confused. Where did she and the monkey look old?

Kui Mulang, kneeling on the ground, looked as if he had seen a ghost and didn't dare to say a word.

"Little White...cough cough."

The monkey glanced at Bai Zhi's back out of the corner of its eye and coughed lightly.

"What's wrong, monkey? You think you're indestructible? You can't catch a cold?"

Bai Zhi was a little confused; the atmosphere seemed to have changed in an instant.

The monkey became even more anxious, making faces and glancing repeatedly behind Bai Zhi.

Angelica dahurica: ?

Seeing the monkey's movements, Bai Zhi realized something was wrong.

But clearly, it's too late now that we've discovered it.

"My disciple, you're always appearing and disappearing like a ghost. Why didn't you come to see your master after you returned?"

"Do you still feel that your teacher is too old and useless?"

As he said this, an old but strong hand landed on Bai Zhi's shoulder.

Bai Zhi's body also stiffened at this moment.

"Master, what brings you here?"

Bai Zhi turned around stiffly, and just as she had guessed, it was indeed Laozi. The old man was smiling kindly at Bai Zhi.

"I had no choice but to come. Recently, I've lost track of my two young servants, and even the Green Ox is nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, a batch of pills is about to be produced, so I don't have time to look for them."

"I see you're quite idle these days, but instead of helping your master refine medicine, you insist on interfering in mortal affairs with this monkey."

"It seems I haven't assigned enough homework. Have you thoroughly studied and understood the Tao Te Ching that I gave you?"

"You don't know where your two boys and the blue ox went?"
