Would You Join This Sage in Equaling Heaven?

At that moment, the White Bone Demon realized what they were trying to do.

She felt awful all over.

And that pig was already looking at her with a lecherous grin.

It sent a chill down Bai Jingjing's spine.

"Amitabha. This humble monk is coming, female benefactor." Zhu Bajie narrowed his little eyes and slowly stepped forward.

At that moment, Bai Jingjing could no longer remain calm.

She swung the cane in her hand and smashed it at Zhu Bajie's head. "I'll beat you to death, you pig!"

With that blow, Zhu Bajie's head buzzed, and stars danced before his eyes.

He had never expected that this frail-looking old woman could unleash such terrifying strength.

Without question, the White Bone Demon had failed again.

She immediately turned into a wisp of smoke and fled.

At that moment, Sun Wukong returned as well. With a single glance from his Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, he saw through the White Bone Demon's true form. "Demon, where do you think you're going?"

But he was still too late. Bai Jingjing had already escaped.

Zhu Bajie stared blankly for quite a while before recovering. He saw that the courtyard from moments ago had become an empty stretch of land.

He immediately realized that it, too, had been conjured by the demon.

"Damn demon, count yourself lucky you ran fast." Sun Wukong snorted, gripping the Golden Cudgel.

Above them, Guanyin Bodhisattva watched everything unfold and felt a wave of helplessness.

Why did Tang Sanzang refuse to follow the script every single time?

The Buddha had even instructed them to complete at least one trial.

Yet even completing one trial seemed difficult.

Western Heaven.

Great Thunderclap Monastery.

In the past, auspicious clouds drifted through the air, and immortal mist lingered everywhere.

Now, smoke rose from blasted craters, rolling thickly through the air.

Seeing this scene in the lower realm—

What the hell?

What was going on?

Tang Sanzang could pull something like this?

Tathagata Buddha especially felt somewhat regretful now.

When Tang Yu first broke the precepts, he should have stopped him.

If he had stopped him, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But it was already too late to stop it now.

Besides, Tang Sanzang was truly difficult to handle now.

If he were not the appointed scripture seeker, Buddha would have wanted to slap him to death.

In truth, Buddha would already be burning incense in thanks if they managed to complete even one trial.

As for whether Bai Jingjing lived or died, he did not want to think about it anymore.

Because the situation had long since slipped beyond his control.

"Reporting to Buddha, I have already informed Guanyin Bodhisattva and asked her to find a way to complete at least one trial."

Silver-headed Ketu had returned and reported to Buddha.

"Let us hope so."

Tathagata Buddha's voice was somewhat hollow, and his eyes had become vacant.

He had already done his utmost to investigate the variable, but had found nothing at all.

With the variable's existence, the journey to the west seemed to be growing more difficult by the day.

The only solution was to eliminate him, but they did not even know what the variable was. Eliminate my ass.

Exhausting.

Tathagata Buddha was tired.

Only when he occasionally lit a cigarette did he feel a little more relaxed.

Bai Jingjing returned to White Bone Cave.

Naturally, she was unwilling to give up so easily.

She paced back and forth, thinking.

Did she really have to attack directly?

That was the worst possible option. Otherwise, she truly would not dare.

Because that monkey, Sun Wukong, was not someone easy to provoke.

A smile appeared on her face, innocent and brilliant, revealing pearly white teeth. "I refuse to believe you would still have ideas about a man."

Then she transformed into an old man.

This time, she also brought the golden silk ribbon with her.

If anything unexpected happened again, she would not mind attacking directly and capturing Tang Sanzang alive.

"Master, I think that demon will come again," Zhu Bajie said. She had already come twice, so she probably would not give up like this.

Tang Yu rode backward on the donkey. "Your master isn't afraid, so why the hell do you care? Besides, it's a female demon."

His eyes lit up slightly. Should he have Sun Wukong immobilize her first?

Then he could have some fun with her.

Although he had never seen Bai Jingjing's true appearance, could a female demon possibly be ugly?

Obviously not.

Suddenly, an old man leaning on a cane appeared ahead.

She was back again?

Talk about thinking of something and having it appear. But why had she turned into an old man this time?

Later, I'll have Wukong immobilize you.

At that thought, Tang Yu immediately felt a heat rising within him.

But Sun Wukong had gone wandering all over the mountain with the Golden Cudgel, searching for the demon. He should be back soon.

"Old man, why are you here?"

After encountering demons one after another, Zhu Bajie had naturally become wary. He carefully examined the old man.

He did not have Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze. What the hell could he possibly see?

"I am a farmer from the foot of the mountain. I got lost while climbing up," said the old man transformed by the White Bone Demon.

Zhu Bajie looked at Tang Yu, asking his master whether they should help the old man.

After all, this was a desolate mountain wilderness. The old man was advanced in years, and his movements were not very nimble.

San Lengzi merely gave him an indifferent glance. He did not care about such matters at all.

If the person could be eaten, he might have studied him a little.

Tang Yu was just about to speak when a flash of golden light suddenly streaked before his eyes.

"Bold demon! You dare deceive my master? Take this!"

With a flash of light, Sun Wukong charged straight at her with the Golden Cudgel in hand.

Not good.

The White Bone Demon was horrified.

She raised her hand and threw out the golden silk ribbon.

But strangely, the ribbon did not hinder Sun Wukong in the slightest.

The power released by the ribbon vanished without a trace the instant it touched Sun Wukong, like a single cowhair sinking into the sea.

When they saw the golden silk ribbon, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's expressions immediately changed.

At that moment, Bai Jingjing had no time left to escape.

Bang.

The Golden Cudgel struck heavily against her head.

"Ah..."

Bai Jingjing cried out miserably as blood flowed down from her head.

The transformation technique she had cast could no longer be maintained.

She revealed her true form.

Her face, originally pale as snow, turned even whiter.

Like a crystal doll, she seemed as though she might shatter into pieces at any moment.

Terrifying power surged from the Golden Cudgel.

It pierced straight into her heart.

Her heart began to pound violently.

Her head buzzed.

In an instant.

It was as if her past and present lives flashed before her eyes.

"Heaven and earth shall bear witness, the sun and moon shall be our ceremony, rivers and mountains shall be my betrothal gift, and all lands beneath the sky shall be our matchmaker."

"Would you join this Sage in Equaling Heaven?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the monkey before her.

She remembered. She remembered everything.

Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel still rested against her head.

The purple silk draped over him slowly floated into the air.

It transformed into a purple garment and settled onto Bai Jingjing's body.

At the same time, Bai Jingjing herself underwent an earth-shaking transformation.

She became even more beautiful and captivating.

Tang Yu stared at the scene in disbelief.

He seemed to understand something.

"Are you all right?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the monkey before her. Tears instantly streamed down her face as she choked out the words.

Trembling, she reached out a hand, as though she wanted to touch his face...
