Not Enough Money

Tathagata Buddha's expression turned stern. He let out a snort, his gaze deepening as he looked at Joyful Buddha.

Arriving at a brothel in the lower realm, Joyful Buddha transformed himself into a handsome man and walked in.

The people at the brothel quickly greeted him.

But upon asking, Joyful Buddha's expression couldn't help but freeze.

It was because there were no women available; they had all been booked by Tang Sanzang.

The reason Tang Yu was so eager to find women wasn't because he was truly desperate.

It was because he discovered a cultivation technique for dual cultivation between men and women recorded in the Nine-Nine Heavenly Merit.

He could get pleasure while also cultivating, so why not?

This cultivation method benefited both men and women.

However, Tang Yu was the primary focus, so some of the women quickly couldn't handle it.

It was fine, there were plenty of people.

They could just switch.

And so, Tang Yu began his energetic "yo-ho-ho" in the room.

He switched partners several times during the process.

Multiple girls were carried out.

However, the next day, the girls felt refreshed and seemed even more beautiful after Tang Yu's "nourishment."

A few brothel girls who had gynecological issues also unknowingly recovered.

Zhu Bajie was in the adjacent room, diligently working away.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Joyful Buddha easily discovered them.

Outside Tang Yu's room, a line of girls was queuing, waiting for their turn to serve him.

This made Joyful Buddha's face turn a bit green.

He had finally gotten an opportunity to come down and release some tension, only to find that all the girls were booked by Tang Sanzang.

He hadn't really enjoyed himself much since converting to Buddhism.

Even though he was the Joyful Buddha, he was still a member of the Buddhist Sect and had to maintain some decorum.

With his magical power, he could go anywhere else in an instant.

But when traveling, the Buddha had instructed him to keep a low profile and not show off.

Moreover, he had a mission to bring Sun Wukong back.

However, it wasn't easy to come down here, and doing nothing felt like a waste.

"Do you still have no women available here?" Joyful Buddha asked, taking a swig from a pot of wine.

"They've all been booked by a single guest for now."

The brothel madam gritted her teeth, putting on a look of tragic resignation. "If you're really in a hurry, I suppose I'll have to step in myself."

She was over fifty, and her makeup made her look like a ghost.

As she walked, her rouge and powder flaked off.

Joyful Buddha paused, frowning as he looked at her.

After a moment's thought, he sighed, "Alright."

He'd just have to make do. What else could he do?

He still had a mission after this.

And so, Joyful Buddha put his arm around her and led her to a room upstairs.

Golden Ao Island.

Biyou Palace.

Sovereign Tongtian had already learned the news that Tang Sanzang was a variable.

He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

The destined pilgrim had become a variable.

How interesting.

Moreover, in the temples along Tang Yu's path, the monks had begun eating meat and frequenting brothels.

The Buddhist Sect hadn't noticed this yet.

Invisibly, the Buddhist Sect had lost a great deal of faith.

And their merit had also decreased unknowingly.

As a Sage, he could easily deduce all of this.

Through the Mystic Light Mirror, he naturally saw Joyful Buddha, his once proud disciple, Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.

He merely saw him embrace an old woman over a hundred years old and walk into the room.

Tongtian's expression darkened slightly.

Although they had already been converted by the Buddhist Sect, they were once his disciples.

He felt somewhat ashamed.

"Master, now that we know Tang Sanzang is the variable, what should we do..." Old Mother Lishan asked.

Tongtian smiled. "We naturally have to give them some assistance. I heard from you that Tang Sanzang has already reached the Human Immortal cultivation, right?"

With a wave of his hand, a pill appeared in Old Mother Lishan's hand.

"This Creation Limitless Pill is enough to help him reach Earth Immortal cultivation. Also, issue a decree that any disciples of the Jie Sect are to assist Tang Sanzang without reservation if he needs anything."

He had to lend Tang Sanzang, this variable, some help.

If there was anyone who most wanted to strike a blow against Buddhism, it was he, Sovereign Tongtian, because even Tathagata was once his disciple.

His most talented disciples had all been converted by the Buddhist Sect, which was a grave humiliation for him, Tongtian.

If he could, he would have loved to fight those two Sages from the West immediately.

But he could only think about it. If a war between Sages were to break out, that old immortal Hongjun would surely intervene.

"Yes, Master."

Old Mother Lishan responded and withdrew from Biyou Palace.

Tang Yu spent the entire night indulging in pleasure at the brothel.

Moreover, through this dual cultivation technique, he felt he was already on the verge of touching the threshold of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

This was quite good.

As for Zhu Bajie, he had already come out and was waiting for his master to settle the bill.

Tang Yu didn't even look, throwing over some money he had exchanged for his staff.

He said grandly, "No need for change."

With that, he prepared to leave.

But he was stopped.

"Guest, your money is not enough."

This made Tang Yu pause slightly.

What? This much money isn't enough?

Is this a black shop?

"What do you mean, this much money isn't enough? You're running a black shop, aren't you?"

The attendant explained helplessly, "Guest, you ordered eleven girls yesterday, not including the two your disciple had."

He found it strange that monks would visit a brothel.

However, brothels, like the Buddhist Sect, opened their doors wide.

As long as you had money, it didn't matter if you were a monk or just bald.

Tang Yu was a bit dumbfounded; he hadn't really considered these things.

When calculated like that, it wasn't exactly expensive.

And the quality of the girls was quite good.

But here was the problem.

He was out of money. This payment for services was money he had exchanged for his staff.

"Do you have any money?" Tang Yu looked at Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie turned his head away, saying nothing.

You said you were paying, and now you want me, Old Pig, to settle the bill.

Besides, he didn't have any money either. Even if he did, he wouldn't take it out.

At this moment, several people had silently surrounded them, all looking fierce.

It seemed they were afraid the two would skip out on the bill.

"Go ask Wukong and San Lengzi if they have any money."

"Master, do you really think Brother Monkey and Disciple Sha are people with money?"

At this moment, the gazes of the people around them became unfriendly.

The meaning was clear: if they didn't pay, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.

"Heh heh, I advise you to find the money, or don't blame us for being impolite," the attendant said with a cold laugh.

Damn it.

Who are you threatening?

Tang Yu's eyes widened, and he snatched back the money he had given to the male escort.

"Amitabha, Er Daizi, there are so many innocent girls here being forced into prostitution. As a monk, I must be compassionate and rescue this innocent woman from her plight."

Tang Yu chanted a Buddhist phrase, his expression filled with pity for the world.

That was incredibly shameless. When you were enjoying yourself, why didn't you mention how innocent these women were?
