Today's first update: Chapter 1769! 1/2!
"Cut the damn nonsense!"
Listening to the other party ramble on, Bai Qi grew so impatient that veins bulged on his forehead. He placed a sword against the pig's neck, making Bajie's bristles stand on end.
"No, no, let's talk this out! My Monkey Brother—you all know him, right? You call him the Douzhan Martial Saint. Even if you won't do it for this pig's sake, do it for the monkey's sake!"
"Hmph. The Douzhan Martial Saint is one of our Human Race's Lords of the Era, and he is also Xu Kun's senior brother. By that logic, you're practically related to Xu Kun, the one that Weak Water God devoured!"
Bajie froze, pointing at himself before pointing at the Heavenly Reaching River. "Me... him... we have that kind of connection?"
"So, we ask that you lend us your aid and save Xu Kun!"
Uh...
Bajie scratched his head so hard that he pulled out several pig bristles.
Meeting everyone's earnest gazes, Bajie finally softened. "Fine. Since that's the case, I'll give it a try. But so much time has passed. Besides, I still owe Peng Li my life. Whether he'll show me this courtesy is hard to say!"

Bajie offered no explanation and turned to charge toward the Heavenly Reaching River.
He shouted, "Hey! Peng Li, don't harm my senior brother's junior brother! Hand him over, or don't blame Old Pig for getting nasty!"
Everyone: ...
Was this pig toxic or something?
No matter how long he shouted, the Heavenly Reaching River remained calm.
"Fine, fine, fine!
