At this moment, as Erlang Shen was being dragged away by the old woman, he could only endure the bold girls around him asking him all sorts of questions and touching him inappropriately, while praying that the believers would dawdle a bit while they were worshipping, so that he could catch up with Sun Wukong after his blind date.

"Hehehe, I never thought Erlang Shen would have a day like this. This has truly broadened Old Sun horizons."

When Sun Wukong noticed Erlang Shen's miserable state when he left, he couldn't help but burst into laughter in his heart, almost showing it on his face.

These worshippers were quick in their worship; after offering incense to the Buddha statue and exchanging a few words with the guide, they left. Soon after, all the worshippers began to leave.

After all the believers had gone far away, Wukong brought out the Bodhisattva statue he had hidden earlier and placed it back in its original spot. Then, Sun Wukong left. After leaving, he wandered aimlessly, not knowing where to hide to escape the Heavenly Court's pursuit.

"Sigh, where should I go next? When I was traveling among humans, I seemed to hear them say something like, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place.' So, why don't I just go sit in Erlang Shen's temple at the Guan River Estuary? No one would ever guess that I'm staying in Erlang Shen's house."

After pondering for a while, Sun Wukong made a bold decision: he would go to the temple at Erlang Shen Guan River Estuary where Erlang Shen was located, impersonate Erlang Shen, and use his Somersault Cloud to rush towards Guan River Estuary at full speed.

With Sun Wukong traveling at full speed, he soon arrived near the Guan River Estuary. He first went to a secluded place and changed his clothes, appearance, and even his Jingu Bang to be the same as Erlang Shen's.

Then he swaggered towards the temple where Erlang Shen was, and none of Erlang Shen recognized him along the way.

So Sun Wukong felt perfectly justified in impersonating Erlang Shen there, living the life of Erlang Shen.

However, Erlang Shen was still being pulled along by the old woman, going from house to house in their village looking for any girls he could fancy. Erlang Shen was too eager to capture Sun Wukong, so he could only give a smile and refuse them one by one. Luckily, Erlang Shen was handsome, so the girls didn't hold it against him, but just felt a little sorry for him.

"I didn't expect this young master to have such high standards. There are so many beautiful young girls in our village, yet you haven't found a single one you like. Well then, since you want to leave, I won't stop you. Take care."

After the old woman led Erlang Shen through the house, she realized that Erlang Shen's heart was not in the place and his vision was not strong. Instead of continuing to look around, Erlang Shen said goodbye to him.

"Auntie, I'm leaving now. Hope we meet again someday."

"Keep this money and spend it as a thank you for your kindness earlier."

Erlang Shen, no longer coy or pretentious, immediately took out a gold ingot from his pocket to thank the old woman for her kindness. Then he bid farewell to her and left the place to go to the temple they had just visited to look for Sun Wukong.

However, by the time he arrived, Sun Wukong's aura had almost completely dissipated. He had no choice but to leave and search for any remaining traces of Sun Wukong that he could detect.

However, this time Sun Wukong left very cautiously, leaving not a single clue for Erlang Shen to use as a tool to capture him.

However, faced with this situation, Erlang Shen had no choice but to wander aimlessly, searching for Sun Wukong's whereabouts to see if he had left anything behind that could be used to prevent him from catching him.

However, Erlang Shen was disappointed. He had searched the area within a ten-mile radius of the temple carefully, but he could not find a trace of Sun Wukong. It was as if Sun Wukong had simply vanished from there.

Erlang Shen was not Qi Ingestion and expanded the search area once again. He spent nearly 4 hours carefully surveying the area within a hundred miles centered on the dilapidated temple, but still could not find any trace of Sun Wukong.

He was feeling a bit agitated and didn't know where to look for Sun Wukong.

"Erlang Shen, what's wrong with you? Haven't you caught Sun Wukong yet?"

"How can this monkey be so cunning?"

At this moment, Dawdling Heavenly King Li Jing had caught up with them by following their tracks, said this to him.

"Sigh, I was almost able to catch that Sun Wukong, but that guy actually hid in a temple, pretending to be a Bodhisattva, accepting worship from the villagers to evade my pursuit. He never expected that I would discover his whereabouts."

"So I stood outside the temple waiting for everyone who had come to worship him to leave before going in to fight him. But an old woman from the village insisted on introducing me to some young girl. I had no choice but to let her drag me around and introduce me to all the girls in the village. At that moment, I could only pray that these pale-faced people would dawdle a bit until I got back."

"When I rushed back, there was no one there. That Monkey Sun had long since run away. I spent several hours searching the area within a hundred miles of that temple, but I still couldn't find a trace of that Monkey Sun."

Erlang Shen sighed and told Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, about the whole story.

"Sigh, I can't do other things, but I can find that demon monkey."

Upon hearing Erlang Shen's words, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, knew what he was about to do.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, took out his Demon-Revealing Mirror and flew straight into the clouds, illuminating the surrounding area. In this very act, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing 'Sun Wukong whereabouts, though Sun Wukong remained oblivious.

"Erlang Shen, I now know where that demon monkey is."

After Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, found Sun Wukong's location using the Demon-Revealing Mirror, he quickly descended to the ground and told him about Sun Wukong's whereabouts.

Where is he located now?

"I'll catch him and send him to the Jade Emperor!"

Erlang Shen hurriedly asked about Sun Wukong's current location.

"Erlang Shen, there's no need to worry, Sun Wukong. All the monkey needs to do is hide in your temple at the Guan River Estuary right now, impersonate you, and do his bidding there."
