The Dragon King of the West Sea's Third Prince
"Great Sage, I am Ao Lie, the third Ao Lie of the Dragon King of the West Sea."
After revealing a fawning expression, the White Dragon told Sun Wukong his identity and name.
"Okay, I've memorized your name now. I don't need to say anything more about mine, right?"
Sun Wukong said that he had memorized the White Dragon's name.
"Great Sage, of course I know your name. Your name is renowned throughout the land, how could I possibly forget it?"
This is what Ao Lie said to Sun Wukong in a flattering manner.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go down quickly, my master's term is up."
"Let me first teach you how to introduce me to my master."
Only then did Sun Wukong realize that he and the White Dragon had stayed in the sky for too long, and Tang Xuanzang must have been waiting on the ground for a long time. So, he pulled the White Dragon down from the sky.
"Why haven't you transformed into human form yet? What are you going to do with your master looking like this?"
After landing, Sun Wukong noticed that the White Dragon had maintained its previous enormous size, so he asked it why and urged it to transform into human form.
"I'm sorry, Great Sage, I was punished by the Jade Emperor for violating the Heavenly Rules. There was a problem with my method of transforming into human form. After I activate my magic Law Power, I will directly transform into my half-dragon form."
"My appearance, being half-human and half-deaf, was terrifying, so in order to avoid becoming like that, I decided not to become like that."
Ao Lie explained why he could no longer take human form.
"Never mind, it's fine this way. Just hurry up and take me to see my master."
After hearing Ao Lie's words, Sun Wukong realized that he himself had no other choice.
All I can do is keep this enormous dragon-like form in place as I go to see Tang Xuanzang.
"Master, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've brought back the guy who stole your white horse."
"He can't return the white horse to you, because he ate it after he took it."
"So we discussed it and agreed that from now on he would be your mode of transportation and carry your luggage."
Sun Wukong, accompanied by Ao Ye, approached Tang Xuanzang and told him the bad news that Tang Xuanzang's white horse had been eaten by Ao Lie.
However, there is good news: Tang Monk's mode of transportation from now on will be the White Dragon Ao Lie right in front of him.
"Wukong, is this real? Will this White Dragon be my mode of transportation from now on?"
Now that he has seen the White Dragon, he no longer looks afraid.
Not for any other reason, but because Sun Wukong is here.
Although Sun Wukong and the White Dragon had been in the sky for so long, the White Dragon still looked arrogant and overbearing when it first flew out.
Even now, his face is full of flattery towards Sun Wukong, and you can tell from the scene that he is his eldest disciple.
They were fully qualified and capable of protecting themselves in front of this White Dragon.
Therefore, Tang Xuanzang did not show any fear; instead, he excitedly asked Sun Wukong a question.
"Master, you're not mistaken. This White Dragon will be your mode of transportation from now on."
"Ao Lie, come and greet our master!"
After Sun Wukong became pregnant with Tang Xuanzong's child, she had Oli Ge give her to him.
"Great Sage, may I ask what our master's name is?"
After hearing about Sun Wukong's life, Ao Lie first decided to name Sun Wukong Tang Xuanzang.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce you."
"Our master is the highly virtuous monk Tang Xuanzang from the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands. His mission is to travel to the Western Heaven Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, to find the Buddha Tathagata, and to receive the complete Buddhist Sanzang from him."
Sun Wukong began to introduce Tang Xuanzang's background and name to Ao Lie.
"What? Our master is actually Tang Xuanzang!"
The elderly man was visibly shocked after hearing Sun Wukong's answer.
"What's wrong, bro? Is there a problem?"
After seeing his appearance, Sun Wukong asked in confusion.
"But you don't know this, didn't I say before that I was punished by the Jade Emperor for violating the Heavenly Rules?"
"Actually, my sentence shouldn't be over yet, but I met Bodhisattva Guanyin."
He went to the Heavenly Court to plead with the Jade Emperor on my behalf, and he succeeded in releasing me.
"But in exchange, I have to wait here for a monk who is going to the Western Heaven Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Who exactly is that monk, what is his name, what does he look like? Whose fault is it that the Bodhisattva didn't tell me back then?"
"He just said that once the monk appears, he will come and tell me all the information about him. I just need to wait here."
"So I waited quietly here for hundreds of years, thinking that Bodhisattva Guanyin would never appear again."
"But I didn't expect that Bodhisattva Guanyin would suddenly appear here a few days ago and tell me that I should wait for that monk named Tang Xuanzang, who was accompanied by a monkey with extremely powerful Law Technique."
"I kept this in mind, and when you arrived here just now, I sensed that someone from above was coming."
"However, after I finished this formality, I found that only my master was there, so I assumed he wasn't the monk I was waiting for."
"I originally planned to leave, but my stomach suddenly started churning with cravings, so I had no choice but to take my master's white horse with me."
You'll find out what happened next.
Ao Lie solemnly told Sun Wukong everything that had happened to him.
"You mean that after you meet your master, you will also become his disciple and protect him on his journey to the West."
After listening to Ao Lie's words, Sun Wukong immediately said what he wanted to say next.
"Senior Brother, you understand me so well, I'm really touched."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Sun Wukong's words, Ao Lie excitedly stepped forward, hugged Sun Wukong tightly, and said to Sun Wukong joyfully.
To Sun Wukong's surprise, after he said these words, the people in the ranks changed how they addressed him.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
Upon seeing their appearance, Tang Xuanzang revealed his unclean face.
"Master, from today onwards you are my master."
After seeing Tang Xuanzong of Tang walking towards them, White Dragon Ao Lie released Sun Wukong and pounced on him.
However, Tang skillfully dodged it.
"Master forgot to tell you, I am the other person Bodhisattva Guanyin found for you to protect you on your journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures. My name is Aoye (熬夜)."
