India Captures the Jade Rabbit (16)

Meanwhile, Ao Tu was adjusting Guanyin Bodhisattva's robes.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, moved by Ao Tu's kindness in tidying his clothes, tidied Ao Tu's clothes again.

Ao Tu hadn't been on guard before, and this Bodhisattva was quick to grab Ao Tu belt.

Now, let's reconnect.

Ao Tu said, "I remember the Little White Dragon's Dragon Pearl was with the Teacher."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded gently, walked slowly to the side, took out the Dragon Pearl, handed it to Ao Tu, and said, "Disciple, here you go."

Ao Tu accepted the bead, looked down at it, and saw his Teacher's bare feet on the ground, his soles white and tender, his toes like jade. He said, "It's not good to take it for free. I'll make a pair of shoes for Teacher another day."

Guanyin Bodhisattva thought for a moment, then sat on the couch to the side, crossing her legs.

Ao Tu stood to the side, and could see the soles of her snow-white feet.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a holy and compassionate expression, smiled gently at Ao Tu and said:

"My disciple, if you're making shoes, don't make too many styles. Just make one pair of monk's shoes. But I know your preferences; haven't you always liked it when I didn't wear shoes?"

As she spoke, Guanyin Bodhisattva slightly extended her bare feet.

Ao Tu gently took the foot, feeling its soft and delicate warmth, and said, "Teacher, you've misunderstood me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said, "I understand."

The two talked for a while longer, Guanyin Bodhisattva invited Ao Tu to stay for a few days.

Ao Tu was willing to stay, but he had to return to the Blood Sea and could not stay long, so he had to take his leave.

After some time, Ao Tu left the Chaoyin Cave, took the Jade Rabbit Spirit with him, and headed straight for the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The Jade Rabbit was already licentious, and after talking with the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Spirit for a while, it became even more so.

Ao Tu was riding the clouds there, but she took off her clothes, crawled outside Ao Tu, and didn't use her magic to protect herself. The two rabbits flew around in the wind.

Ao Tu had no choice but to transform her back to her Original Form and put her in his palm.

The Jade Rabbit Spirit asked, "Father, where are we going?"

Ao Tu said, "Blood Sea."

The Blood Sea is located in the Netherworld Realm. Since Wukong and his companions are heading to the Netherworld Realm, they will definitely visit the Blood Sea along the way. Therefore, Ao Tu returned ahead of time to wait for them.

In a short while, they arrived at the Blood Sea.

The demons and the Asura King bowed in worship.

The Jade Rabbit Spirit was overjoyed. She was in Ao Tu's arms, and when the demons paid homage to Ao Tu, they were also paying homage to her.

Minghe came out to greet him and said to Ao Tu, "Cult Leader, our sect originated in India, and the competition is fierce. You must not indulge in women at this time."

Ao Tu said, "I know what's important."

As he spoke, he went inside.

The Minghe caught up and offered advice.

Ao Tu said, "Sun Wukong will be here soon; go and bring them over."

The Minghe had no choice but to descend.

Ao Tu went into the hall to rest for a while, then called the Little Spider Demon over to massage his shoulders.

The Jade Rabbit Spirit raised her head in Ao Tu's arms, saw the Little Spider Demon, compared herself to it, and couldn't help but say, "Such a young age, yet you have such a pert and round bottom, and you deliberately wear these clothes that show off your bottom, coming here to seduce your father!"

The Little Spider Demon blushed upon hearing this.

Ao Tu turned around with a smile and said, "Let me see, isn't this really an outfit that shows off your buttocks?"

The Little Spider Demon blushed and turned to face Ao Tu.

Ao Tu gently lifted her up and placed her in his lap. Sure enough, her buttocks were pert and round, and her dress outlined her beautifully.

Ao Tu pondered to himself that although the Little Spider Demon's buttocks appeared round, they could only be described as pretty, and it was only because of the clothes that accentuated them. She was far inferior to the Teacher, who wore simple clothes but had a slender waist and plump buttocks, full and voluptuous, and looked otherworldly and holy.

The Little Spider Demon wasn't taught how to serve, because not long after, Wukong and the others arrived.

Ao Tu sent the Little Spider Demon and the Jade Rabbit Spirit away to avoid them, while he waited leisurely in the hall.

Minghe led Wukong and the others into the hall.

Ao Tu asked, "Great Sage, weren't you protecting Tang Sanzang on his Journey to the West? Has the Journey to the West been successfully completed?"

Wukong shook his head and said, "Don't mention it! Don't mention it! We can't go on the journey to the West!"

As he spoke, he repeated what he had said before.

Ao Tu exclaimed in surprise, "Is this really true? I thought Tang Sanzang was a good monk, but I never imagined he would also fall into worldly ways. Truly, the ways of the world are unpredictable."

Wukong said, "Now that Master has gotten married and is staying in the Tianzhu Kingdom, we brothers have divided our belongings. We thought we should finish what we started and not go to see the King Tang empty-handed. Now that we can't go to Spirit Mountain Ling, we thought that Dragon Brother is very knowledgeable in Buddhist Dharma, so we had no choice but to come here to ask for a few scrolls of Scripture to take back, so that we can have something to show for it."

Ao Tu said, "That's easy. But I don't have any scriptures here; you'll need the Great Sage to copy them."

Wukong said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Ao Tu said, "In that case, Great Sage, please wait in the side hall. I will inform you of the Scripture shortly."

Wukong thanked him again and went to wait.

Only Bajie and the Little White Dragon remained.

Bajie bowed and said, "Master, I have missed you dearly since we parted ways at Gao Village. Now that our Journey to the West has ended, I have come to seek your help. I have a Brocade Kasaya to offer you!"

As he spoke, he presented the Kasaya.

Upon seeing this, Minghe waved his hand and took the Kasaya.

Ao Tu said, "This was given to me by my disciple!"

Minghe looked at the Kasaya, then returned it to Ao Tu, saying, "It's a treasure."

Ao Tu glanced at it twice, accepted the Kasaya, and looked at Bajie with a smile, saying, "Alright, you fool. What do you want? Tell me."

Bajie exclaimed happily, "I've long admired the beauty of the Asura woman; I wish I could marry into her family!"

Ao Tu said, "The Asura King still has several Princess who are not yet betrothed. I will have someone arrange for you to meet them another day. If that doesn't work out, I will find you other princesses to marry."

Bajie was extremely grateful upon hearing this.

Ao Tu said, "By the way, where is Sha Wujing? Considering our past acquaintance, if he has nowhere else to go, we could invite him to come and be a leader."

Bajie said, "Before we came here, in the Netherworld Realm, Junior Brother Sha sought refuge with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and became his messenger."

Ao Tu said, "Very well, very well."

So he sent Bajie away.

Only the Little White Dragon remained.

Ao Tu laughed and said, "Isn't this the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace?"

The Little White Dragon said, "Now that our Journey to the West has failed, we have nowhere to go. I beg my cousin to give us a job so we can stay."

Ao Tu laughed and said, "When you need someone's help, you should become their cousin."

Left with no other option, Little White Dragon said, "Please, cousin, give me a job so I can settle down."

Ao Tu glanced at the Patriarch Styx beside him. This old man was quite tactless, still sitting there. Ao Tu had to speak up himself, "This is my cousin. I want to make things difficult for him. Aren't you going to leave?"

Upon hearing this, the Patriarch Styx took his leave.

Ao Tu said to the Little White Dragon, "Assigning tasks is not difficult, but we have a grudge!"

The Little White Dragon was taken aback and asked, "What grudge do you have?"

Ao Tu said, "Back in the Baoxiang Kingdom, you disguised yourself as Palace Maids and seduced me, then injured the 605th scale on my left hand."

The Little White Dragon said, "My cousin had already become Five-Clawed Golden Dragon that day. I was Tang Sanzang's White Horse, so I didn't know and couldn't recognize him. Besides, I exhausted all my strength that day and didn't leave a single mark on my cousin's golden scales. I guess my cousin has been fighting with others for a long time and has misremembered his injuries."

Ao Tu said, "You did it. The scales are still there. Look."

Ao Tu extended his left arm.

Little White Dragon stepped forward to take a look.

All that could be seen were golden scales, their Laws flowing freely, without a single scratch.

The Little White Dragon examined it carefully but couldn't find any wounded scales. He said, "Cousin, there are no wounded scales."

Ao Tu said, "I'm mistaken, it's on the right arm."

He then extended his right arm.

The Little White Dragon went to check, but still couldn't find it.

Ao Tu said, "Search carefully."

The Little White Dragon searched carefully, but found only endless Supernatural Ability Laws and principles within, still unable to find the injured scales.

Ao Tu said, "I think it's on the leg."

The Little White Dragon said, "How could you not remember my hands and feet? You're clearly just playing a trick on me!"

Ao Tu laughed, "So you saw through me? What, you think I was just teasing you? You committed the crime of disobedience, serving Tang Sanzang as his horse, and you didn't live to see it end. Now you come to rely on me, thinking it'll be easy? At least Bajie knew to bring a Kasaya, but you come empty-handed! I happen to be short of a Mount. If you can be Patience, you can turn into White Horse for me to ride!"

The Little White Dragon, his face flushed with anger, said, "Ao Tu, how heartless you are! We were once family. When you sought refuge in the West Sea, you even stayed temporarily in my palace. Now you make me carry you like a horse!"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "Cousin, don't you know that times have changed? Nothing in this world is easy; you have to prove yourself. You couldn't even carry Tang Sanzang to the Western Heaven, so asking you to carry me is already doing you a favor."

Having said that, he took something out of his sleeve, threw it on the ground, let it roll a few times, and landed in front of the Little White Dragon.

The Little White Dragon looked over and was startled.

It was his Dragon Pearl.

Ao Tu said, "We are both Dragon Race. It would be a disgrace to me to let someone steal the pearl. If you don't want to be a horse, take the pearl and go. Or hide in some pool with mudfish. That would be shameful. Don't say you're my relative from now on. Unless you can persuade Tang Sanzang to change his mind and complete the Journey to the West the West, I might not think much of you."
