At this moment, the White Bone Demon realized what they were planning.

She was utterly distraught.

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

This sent a shiver down Bai Jingjing's spine.

"Amitabha, female benefactor, this humble monk is here," Zhu Bajie said, narrowing his small eyes as he slowly advanced.

At this moment, Bai Jingjing could no longer maintain her composure.

She swung the staff in her hand, aiming to cleave Zhu Bajie's head: 'I'll beat you to death, you pig.'

With one strike, Zhu Bajie's head buzzed, and stars danced before his eyes.

He never expected that this seemingly frail old woman before him could unleash such power.

Undoubtedly, the White Bone Demon failed again.

She directly transformed into a wisp of smoke and fled.

At this moment, Sun Wukong also returned. With his Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, he immediately saw through the White Bone Demon's true form; "Monster, where do you think you're going?"

But it was too late; Bai Jingjing had already escaped.

Zhu Bajie's vision cleared, and it took him a good while to recover. He looked at the courtyard, which had now become an empty lot.

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

"Damn demon, you're lucky you ran fast," Sun Wukong grumbled, gripping his Golden Cudgel.

Above, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had witnessed everything, felt a flicker of helplessness.

Why did Tang Sanzang always deviate from the script?

The Buddha had instructed that at least one tribulation should be completed?

Even one tribulation seemed like a long shot.

Western Heaven.

Great Thunderclap Monastery.

Where clouds of auspiciousness and ethereal energy once floated, there were now battlefields and billowing smoke.

Seeing this scene from the mortal realm.

What the hell.

What was going on?

Tang Sanzang could actually operate like this?

Especially Tathagata Buddha, he was starting to regret his decision.

He should have stopped Tang Yu from breaking the precepts in the first place.

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

But now, it was too late to stop it.

Besides, Tang Sanzang was quite difficult to handle now.

If he wasn't the designated pilgrim, the Buddha would have gladly slapped him to death.

In fact, completing even one tribulation was already a stroke of luck in the Buddha's eyes.

As for the matter of the White Bone Demon's life or death, he no longer wanted to consider it.

Because the situation was long beyond his control.

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

Silver-headed Ketu returned and reported to the Buddha.

"Let's hope so."

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

He had tried his best to track down the anomaly, but there was no news.

With the existence of this anomaly, the Journey to the West seemed to be getting more and more difficult.

The only way was to eliminate it, but they didn't even know what the anomaly was, so how could they eliminate it?

He was exhausted.

Tathagata Buddha was tired.

Only occasionally, when he lit a cigarette, did he feel a moment of relief.

Back at the White Bone Cave, Bai Jingjing naturally wasn't willing to give up so easily.

She paced back and forth, deep in thought.

Did she really have to take action herself?

This was a last resort, otherwise she wouldn't have dared.

Because that monkey, Sun Wukong, was not someone to be trifled with.

A smile flickered across her face, innocent and bright, revealing her pearly white teeth: "I don't believe it, you have designs on men too?"

Immediately, she transformed into the appearance of an old man.

This time, she also brought the golden silk scarf.

If any more accidents occurred, she wouldn't hesitate to capture Tang Sanzang herself.

"Master, I think that demon will come back?" Zhu Bajie said. She had already come twice, she shouldn't give up like this.

Tang Yu rode the donkey backward: "If your master isn't afraid, why the hell are you? And it's just a female demon."

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

Then he could have some fun with her.

Although he hadn't seen Bai Jingjing's true face, were there any ugly female demons?

Obviously not.

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

She's back again?

Just thinking about it, but why did she turn into an old man this time?

I'll have Wukong subdue you later.

Thinking this, Tang Yu suddenly felt a bit hot.

But Wukong was wandering all over the mountain with his Golden Cudgel, looking for the demon, and should be back soon.

"Old man, why are you here?"

Seeing the demon again and again naturally made Zhu Bajie wary. He took a careful look at the old man.

He didn't have Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, so what could he possibly discover?

"I'm a farmer from down the mountain, I got lost going up," said the old man, who was the White Bone Demon in disguise.

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

After all, in these desolate mountains, such an old man, being so advanced in age, wasn't very agile.

San Lengzi glanced indifferently. He didn't care about these matters at all.

If the person could be eaten, he might study them.

Just as Tang Yu was about to speak, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Bold demon, how dare you deceive my master! Take this!"

With a flash of light, Sun Wukong, holding his Golden Cudgel, struck forward.

Not good.

The White Bone Demon was greatly alarmed.

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

But strangely, the scarf didn't stop Sun Wukong in the slightest.

The power emanating from the scarf, upon touching Sun Wukong, vanished without a trace, like a single strand of hair in the ocean.

Seeing the golden silk scarf, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's eyes instantly narrowed.

At this moment, it was too late for Bai Jingjing to escape.

Bang.

The Golden Cudgel struck her head heavily.

"Ah..."

Bai Jingjing let out a scream, and blood flowed directly down from her head.

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

She revealed her true form.

Her face, originally as pale as snow, was now even whiter.

She looked like a crystalline doll, as if she could shatter at any moment.

A terrifying power surged from the Golden Cudgel.

It pierced directly into her heart.

Her heart began to beat violently.

Her head buzzed.

In an instant.

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

"Heaven and Earth as witness, Sun and Moon as betrothal gifts, the land as dowry, mountains and rivers as matchmakers."

"Will you be my equal, Saint?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the monkey before her.

She remembered, she remembered everything.

Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel remained poised above her head.

The purple silk draped over him slowly floated up.

It transformed into a purple dress and donned Bai Jingjing's body.

At the same time, Bai Jingjing underwent a world-altering change.

She became even more beautiful and captivating.

Tang Yu watched this scene in disbelief.

He seemed to understand something.

"Are you alright?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the monkey before her, tears streaming down her face in an instant, and choked out her words.

She trembled as she reached out, as if to caress his face
