He's Here, He's Here

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were very obedient to Tang Yu, and both retreated to the side simultaneously, watching their cheap junior brother.

Only Sha Wujing was left in the arena. He looked pitifully at his newly accepted master, then at the Bodhisattva.

In a short while, the Heavenly Soldiers had charged down and surrounded Sha Wujing.

"This formation is comparable to when I, Old Sun, wreaked havoc in Heaven back then," Sun Wukong said, looking at the dense Heavenly Soldiers.

He didn't know what this San Lengzi had done to pull the Queen Mother down to the mortal realm, not to mention making the Jade Emperor mobilize half of the Heavenly Court's forces.

Huh?

Tang Yu looked at the Queen Mother, and a realization dawned on him.

Could it be that this guy just happened to witness the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother exercising, and then he hazily pulled the Queen Mother down?

The Jade Emperor shoved hard against the bed.

Looking at the Jade Emperor's ashen face, it seemed very possible.

Tang Yu had to admit, his imagination was quite vivid.

However, he didn't want to take Sha Wujing in the first place, so it would be better if he died.

Even Tang Yu hadn't expected that such a situation would arise by chance.

Sha Wujing absolutely dared not fight the Heavenly Soldiers. He knelt on the ground, "Curtain Rolling admits his mistake, begging the Jade Emperor for mercy."

You embraced my Queen Mother and made her stand in public dressed like this.

Do you think a mere admission of fault is enough for me to spare you?

"Take him down," the Jade Emperor said with a low growl, trembling with anger.

In one moment of carelessness, his Queen Mother was embraced and taken to the mortal realm.

"Your Majesty, please listen to this humble monk," Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

Although she was not polite to Tang Sanzang and his disciples, she dared not offend the Jade Emperor easily. Not only was his cultivation far superior to hers, but he was also the top leader of the Three Realms.

"This Sha Wujing absolutely cannot die."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said meaningfully.

The Journey to the West Tribulation still needed him; how could he be allowed to die like this?

The Jade Emperor was already in a bad mood, and being contradicted by Guanyin Bodhisattva repeatedly made him even angrier.

He found that Guanyin Bodhisattva's brain didn't know how to turn.

Don't I know that Sha Wujing cannot die?

But if he didn't do anything after such a grand display, would the Jade Emperor still have any standing in Heaven?

Kill Sha Wujing first to save my face as the Jade Emperor, and then you can revive him.

It won't delay the Journey to the West!

"What are you, to be qualified to speak to me? Call your boss."

The Jade Emperor retorted directly. He didn't want to waste any more words with this idiotic Bodhisattva and wanted to speak to their boss directly.

Sha Wujing did not resist at all, nor did he dare to, so he was directly captured by the Heavenly Soldiers.

He looked pleadingly at Guanyin Bodhisattva, hoping she could save him.

He had embraced the Queen Mother and pulled her down to the mortal realm; the Jade Emperor was determined to kill him.

"Since that is the case, please allow Your Majesty to wait a moment. This humble monk will return and ask the Buddha to preside over this matter," Samantabhadra said, secretly glancing at Guanyin, his meaning clear: you watch here and don't let the Jade Emperor really kill him.

After speaking, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva returned directly to Spirit Mountain; he was going to invite their boss.

Otherwise, he and Guanyin couldn't handle the situation here.

He cursed Sha Wujing to death in his heart, "Why did you have to hug the Queen Mother?"

This could easily trigger a war between Buddhism and Taoism. Sha Wujing absolutely could not die, but looking at the Jade Emperor, it was impossible for him to just let it go.

Hmph, the Jade Emperor snorted, standing with his hands behind his back high in the sky, his robes fluttering. This pretentious posture made Tang Yu sigh with admiration.

As expected of the Lord of the Three Realms, look at how he puts on a show.

He could casually summon hundreds of thousands of subordinates, looking like he would kill anyone who disagreed.

The master and his two disciples stood not far away. Tang Yu even took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and looked on with amusement.

Seeing Tang Yu's smugness, Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression immediately turned cold.

Your smoking and drinking, although already common knowledge, can't you pay a little attention to your image in public?

Tang Sanzang had completely disgraced the face of Buddhism.

The corners of the Jade Emperor's mouth twitched, and he burst into laughter: "Venerable Guanyin, your choice of this pilgrim is truly extraordinary and exceptional. This also shows the unique vision of your Buddhism."

This pilgrim was like a hooligan. He really didn't know how the once devout Golden Cicada had become like this.

Guanyin's expression was a little unsightly, and she forced a smile: "Amitabha, perhaps experiencing hardships along the way has changed him a bit. This is within normal expectations. Your Majesty need not worry too much."

Damn it.

"Is this old guy badmouthing me?"

Tang Yu shot the Jade Emperor an annoyed glance. He regretted ever draping a kasaya on the Queen Mother.

Well, come to think of it, the Jade Emperor sure knew how to have fun.

This old guy really knew how to play!

He had a chance to let Gao Cuilan try on the Queen Mother's clothes.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu's body suddenly felt hot, and he had the urge to have Sun Wukong carry him back to Gao Family Village.

Though he really wanted to go back, he figured those scoundrels from the Buddhist Sect wouldn't agree.

Sha Wujing was pinned down by two heavenly soldiers, his head bowed in silence.

He knew his life hung by a thread.

The Heavenly Court had long abandoned him, Juan Lian.

Thinking of this, Sha Wujing felt wronged.

To think I, Juan Lian, served the Jade Emperor for so long, only to be banished to the mortal realm for a mere broken Glazed Lamp.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and he burst into tears.

His crying drew everyone's attention.

A fierce, scowling man with a thick beard, with nine skulls hanging around his neck.

Now, seeing him weeping uncontrollably, it looked incredibly strange.

"Jade Emperor, I, Juan Lian, truly didn't do it on purpose. For so many years, I've been loyal to you. Not only was I banished to the mortal realm, but now you want to kill me."

The Jade Emperor snorted inwardly. You embraced my Queen Mother. If it weren't for your role in the Journey to the West, I would have scattered your soul to the winds.

"Jade Emperor, this Curtain Rolling General was once loyal and devoted. Why must you fly into such a rage over a trivial matter?" Guanyin Bodhisattva said at the opportune moment.

The Jade Emperor looked towards her, his gaze deepening. "May I ask, Bodhisattva, why has Juan Lian fallen into such a state? Do you not know?"

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't know what to say.

Whether it was Marshal Tianpeng or the Curtain Rolling General, both had fallen because of the Buddhist Sect, in order to complete this Journey to the West Tribulation.

However, it was also due to their cooperative relationship with the Heavenly Court.

Juan Lian's downfall, though influenced by the Buddhist Sect's machinations, wouldn't have happened if the Jade Emperor hadn't allowed it. Who would dare do anything!

All in all, didn't you also want a piece of the pie from this Journey to the West Tribulation?

At this moment, a voice echoed from the void.

"Jade Emperor, I have arrived."

He's here, he's here...

He walked in, smoking a cigarette, wrapped in a kasaya, looking dazed.

Seeing Tathagata Buddha, the Jade Emperor's expression faltered.

What is this getup? Why does he look so… rough?
