Tang Yu pushed the door open as he spoke.
The door was unlocked.
Amitabha!
It seems the female benefactor's three scratches on her palm meant this, asking me to come find her at the third watch.
See, the door was left open for me.
Tang Yu's desire flared, and he quietly entered the room, locking the door behind him. "Female benefactor, this humble monk has arrived."
Thinking of Gao Cuilan's appearance and the feeling of her soft little hand, Tang Yu swallowed hard.
To hell with the scriptures.
He'd conquer this woman first.
Although he couldn't stay here, he figured he could enjoy himself for a bit.
"Female benefactor, female benefactor."
Why was it so quiet? Had she fallen asleep?
Tang Yu felt his way in the dark and got onto the bed.
He reached out and touched, and a soft, fragrant body was in his arms.
"Ah…" A sudden scream echoed in Tang Yu's ears.
Tang Yu quickly covered her mouth. "Female benefactor, it's me, Little Tang."
Now, by the faint moonlight, Gao Cuilan could see Tang Yu's face clearly. She let out a couple of muffled sounds, meaning he could let go.
Tang Yu released her, grinning. "Female benefactor, you scratched my palm three times, signaling me to come at the third watch. This humble monk has arrived."
You're really something else.
Gao Cuilan was speechless. Just three scratches on her palm meant he should come at the third watch?
If she scratched five times, would he have to wait until dawn?
It was because Tang Yu was holding her hand and wouldn't let go that she had struggled and accidentally touched his palm.
However, she never expected a monk to come to her room in the middle of the night.
Could her charm be that great?
Gao Cuilan blushed a little. She quite liked Tang Yu, this handsome monk.
But him coming to her private room in the middle of the night still made her very shy.
"Female benefactor, don't be shy. Let this humble monk guide you."
Tang Yu said as he pulled Gao Cuilan into his embrace. Gao Cuilan half-heartedly resisted.
And then!
A scene of passion unfolded.
Western Heaven.
All the Buddhas' eyes turned green, especially Tathagata's. His face was cold and stern, his chest heaving violently, looking like he was about to explode with anger.
As a pilgrim, they could overlook him eating meat and drinking wine.
But he had even broken the precept against lust.
The Buddhist Sect's reputation was completely ruined.
Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced over, her face slightly red, and averted her gaze. She quickly recited a Heart Sutra, and only then did she feel her intense emotions calm down.
"Venerable Guanyin, you should go there later."
Tathagata Buddha feared that Tang Yu would become too immersed in the gentle embrace and forget the great task of retrieving the scriptures. He asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to go down and remind him at the appropriate time.
What happened with Gao Cuilan had already happened, and it was too late to stop it now.
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt a bit apprehensive about this task. She now had a very negative view of Tang Yu.
There were several times she wished she could just kill him.
But she couldn't disobey the Buddha's command.
"As you command, Buddha!"
At the same time.
Somewhere in the Primordial Era.
Jieyin and Zhunti, two Sages, were also calculating.
What exactly was going on?
Who was making a move, interfering in all of this from the shadows?
But unfortunately, no matter how they calculated, they couldn't figure it out.
For them to be unable to calculate it, it could only mean that another Sage was interfering.
Taishang Laojun is their senior disciple, unfathomable. If he were to intervene, it would indeed be troublesome.
However, in their eyes, there was no need for their senior disciple to get involved in this Journey to the West.
Tongtian was still imprisoned in the Primordial Era, so he could be directly ruled out.
That left only one possibility: Primordial Lord of Heaven!
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances, suspicion dawning between them.
The suspect was, naturally, Primordial Lord of Heaven.
Primordial Lord of Heaven hadn't done anything, yet this scapegoat had been placed directly on his head. If he knew, he'd likely cough up blood from anger.
Meanwhile, the culprit who had made the entire Western Heaven Buddhist Sect turn green and left the two Sages bewildered was still enjoying a night of tender embraces.
A night of tender embraces, a hero's tomb.
This saying was indeed true.
After Tang Yu's diligent efforts overnight, Gao Cuilan seemed even more beautiful.
Elder Gao, being experienced, couldn't fail to see what had happened to his daughter.
Tang Yu didn't hide it either, openly walking out with her hand in his.
"Good, good, my fine son-in-law."
Elder Gao was overjoyed. He had been worried about his daughter's marriage, and unexpectedly, things had fallen into place like this.
"Here in Gao Family Village, I am a renowned wealthy man, with hundreds of acres of land and other properties. I will leave them to you here in Gao Family Village."
In Elder Gao's mind, after what had happened with his daughter, this son-in-law was a done deal.
Tang Yu wished he could stay, but he couldn't.
"Father-in-law, this absolutely cannot be. I, this humble monk, bear the great responsibility of fetching scriptures from the Western Heaven. It is a great act of benevolence to save all sentient beings. How can I disregard the welfare of the world for personal romantic attachments?"
Tang Yu put on an air of great compassion.
He was already fair-skinned and handsome, and with a serious expression, he looked quite like an enlightened eminent monk.
Gao Cuilan looked at Tang Yu with admiration. The monk she had taken a liking to was indeed no ordinary bald donkey; he had the world in his heart.
"What do you mean by that?"
Elder Gao's expression suddenly turned cold. "Are you trying to eat and run? I, Elder Gao, am not someone to be trifled with here in Gao Family Village."
If he knew his daughter had been taken by someone else, and that person had simply wiped their mouth and left.
Then what face would he have to remain here, or what dog-like face would he have to survive in this world?
You damn silkworm.
You're threatening me?
Tang Yu sneered. "Old man, who do you think you're showing off to? Believe it or not, I'll have my disciple tear down this Gao Family Village of yours."
He hadn't said he didn't want the wife. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful wife?
If he could stay here, Tang Yu definitely would have stayed. Why bother fetching scriptures?
But, he was not in control of himself.
He hadn't expected this old man to threaten him.
Was he giving him too much face?
Elder Gao was stunned. How could he have forgotten this?
What followed was worry. The master and that monster had both disappeared for a whole night?
Would they be able to return?
"Father, I am already Little Tang's person,"
Gao Cuilan said shyly. "This daughter's life belongs to him, and her death will be for him. I know Little Tang bears a heavy responsibility, and it is for the sake of all beings in the world, so this daughter has no regrets. I will wait for him, wait for him to return from fetching scriptures."
So touching, truly so touching.
Lanlan, you are truly too good.
Don't worry, I'll definitely develop fewer sisters for you along the way.
Tang Yu looked at Gao Cuilan with emotion. "Lanlan, don't worry, I will never fail you. When I return from fetching scriptures, I will marry you."
"I'll wait for you."
Seeing this situation, what else could Elder Gao say? He sighed helplessly. A daughter grown up is hard to keep.
At this moment, two figures appeared in the courtyard as if by magic.
It was Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear and walked forward with a smile. "You idiot, why aren't you hurrying to pay respects to Master with me?"
Seeing them return, Tang Yu was not surprised at all.
