"Elder Tang, please do not keep me at arm's length."
The Peacock Princess drew close again and spoke softly.
"Fairy maiden, I know you are lovely and graceful, but we can never be together. Along this journey to obtain the scriptures, I have faced countless temptations, yet I remained steadfast and made it this far."
Jiang Ming spoke.
"I'm different, Brother Tang."
The Peacock Princess hugged one of Jiang Ming's arms and coquettishly pleaded.
Jiang Ming pretended to remain unmoved, closed his eyes, and chanted, "Amitabha Buddha."
The Peacock Princess secretly smiled. She had an idea. Pretending to leave, she arranged for some little demons to deliberately drive Jiang Ming to the lakeside. Moreover, Jiang Ming ran there himself; no one was actually chasing him.
After arriving at the lakeside, Jiang Ming witnessed the Peacock Princess's enchanting dance in the water.
As she sang the song Jiang Ming had just taught her, her waist swayed like a flower peacock dancing gracefully.
In the end, Jiang Ming decided to go along with it and fulfill the Peacock Princess's infatuated feelings.
In the peach blossom grove, a hundred flowers bloomed amid fragrant birdsong, while a busy butterfly gathered nectar.
At that very moment, Jiang Ming's clone made his move. He first killed the most troublesome Golden-Winged Roc Eagle. Using the great divine abilities Five-Colored Divine Light and Universe in the Sleeve, he instantly suppressed the Golden-Winged Roc Eagle as he tried to flee. Then, he personally used the Thirty-Six-Petaled World-Destroying Dao Lotus to refine him into ashes.
Jiang Ming also took away the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle and released the Six-Eared Macaque.
After emerging, the Six-Eared Macaque merely furiously struck the two demons twice with his staff. The two demons, already at death's door, instantly vanished into ashes and were beaten to death.
