A Fierce Battle

After a while, the wine in the pot decreased, and the Little White Dragon, seeing this, secretly thought something was wrong and used the Water-Expelling Method.

Then the wine in the Old Yellow-Robed Demon robe rose higher and higher, but even when it overflowed the cup, it did not spill.

The Old Yellow-Robed Demon was overjoyed upon seeing this. "I never expected you to have such methods."

Upon hearing this, Little White Dragon smiled and said, "I can pour a few more cups."

After speaking, the Little White Dragon continued to use his Law Technique, causing the wine in the cup to increase.

Seeing this, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon raised his wine cup and drank to his heart's content. The cup was very tall, like the pagoda he lived in.

The Old Yellow-Robed Demon swallowed the excess wine in one gulp, then took a bite of the dead man, and, emboldened by his drunkenness, said to the Little White Dragon:

"Can you sing? If so, sing me a song."

Upon hearing this, the Little White Dragon sang a song in the style of traditional opera. Then, the Little White Dragon addressed the Old Yellow-Robed Demon:

"Not only can I sing, but I can also dance. Would you like to see me, Your Highness?"

Seeing this, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon felt pleased, so he took the sword from his waist and threw it to the Little White Dragon, saying:

"Then take this sword and perform a few moves for me."

The Little White Dragon looked at the sword in his hand and thought to himself:

"You wished for this, and it came true! If you want to see it, then go to Hell and see it."

After thinking it over, the Little White Dragon raised his sword and brandished it freely in front of the Old Yellow-Robed Demon.

The Old Yellow-Robed Demon stared intently at him. Seeing this, the Little White Dragon slashed at the Old Yellow-Robed Demon with his sword.

Seeing this, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon dodged to the side, feeling extremely happy. He simply raised the weapon beside him to block the Little White Dragon's attack.

The Little White Dragon then revealed its true form and flew into the sky, where it fought with the old man in the Yellow Robe.

The two sides fought fiercely, from the ground all the way up to the sky, instantly scattering the dark clouds on the horizon.

After seven or eight rounds of fierce fighting, the Little White Dragon was exhausted, while the Old Yellow-Robed Demon grew stronger with each battle.

As the Little White Dragon gradually lost ground, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon threw a knife at him, aiming straight for the Old Yellow-Robed Demon. However, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon had his own clever tricks.

The old demon caught the blade with his bare hands and slashed at the Little White Dragon.

The Little White Dragon was caught off guard and the Old Yellow-Robed Demon cleaved a gash in its thigh.

The Little White Dragon immediately jumped off the cloud and into the river to avoid losing his life. Seeing this, the Old Yellow-Robed Demon raised his precious sword and returned to the palace to drink and eat meat as usual.

The Little White Dragon jumped into the water and waited quietly for a long time. When it did not see the Old Yellow-Robed Demon come down to chase it, it gritted its teeth, endured the pain, stepped onto the clouds, and flew to the inn. It then transformed into a horse and lay down under the trough.

Meanwhile, after betraying Monk Sha, Zhu Bajie hid in the hay, dug a pigsty, and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that it was already late at night.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie didn't know where to go. Zhu Bajie rubbed his sleepy eyes and listened quietly to the sounds outside. It was evening and there was no sound outside, so Zhu Bajie could understand what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie thought to himself:

"I don't know how Junior Brother Sha is doing now. I must go back to rescue him. I'll first return to the city to find my master and get the king of the Treasure Chest Kingdom's approval. Then I'll select some brave and skilled warriors to come and rescue Junior Brother Sha together."

After thinking it over, Zhu Bajie immediately returned to the city and came to the inn. It was late at night, Zhu Bajie searched everywhere but still couldn't find Tang Xuanzang.

Then Zhu Bajie looked closely and saw that the White Dragon Horse was sleeping in the stable, completely soaked, with only a small wound on its hind leg. Zhu Bajie was terrified when he saw this.

"This horse doesn't walk often, so why is it sweating? And why are there wounds on its legs?"

After thinking it over, Zhu Bajie confirmed his suspicions.

"It must have been some thieves trying to steal the master's luggage, who injured the horse in the process."

At the same time, the White Dragon Horse suddenly awoke and, upon seeing Zhu Bajie, spoke in human language, saying, "Brother, you're finally back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie complained to the White Dragon Horse, "Hey, shut up! Every time you open your mouth, I feel like something bad is about to happen."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon Horse immediately said to Zhu Bajie:

"Do you know that your master is in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie shook his head at the White Dragon Horse, looking completely bewildered. Seeing this, White Dragon Horse Zhu Bajie:

"You have no idea that you tried to capture the Yaomo in front of the emperor, but that Yaomo was extremely powerful, and you were no match for him."

"Then the Yaomo transformed into a scholar and came to the imperial court to claim kinship with the emperor. After that, it turned our master into a fierce tiger, which was captured by the ministers and locked in an iron cage."

"When I heard this news, I was heartbroken. You haven't returned for several days, and I was afraid something might have happened to your safety, so I had no choice but to transform into White Dragon to rescue my master."

The White Dragon Horse paused here, then continued:

"After I arrived at the palace, I saw the Yaomo slaughtering indiscriminately. I could only transform into a palace maid to deceive the demon, but the demon made me perform a sword dance for him."

"Then I had another idea and stabbed him with my sword, but he dodged it and defeated me. He then slashed a gash in my hind leg, and I could only survive by diving into the river."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie looked at the White Dragon Horse with a pained expression, patted its strong White Dragon Horse, and whispered to White Dragon Horse:

"White Dragon Horse, you've worked hard these past few days. Now we can end this."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon Horse looked at Zhu Bajie with a puzzled expression, but inside it was extremely excited.

"Is Senior Brother going to seek revenge on that monster? That would be wonderful!"

After thinking it over, the White Dragon Horse was still worried about Zhu Bajie's safety and said to Zhu Bajie:

"Senior brother, you must be careful on your trip. That Old Yellow-Robed Demon is cunning and treacherous. He will pull out several swords from time to time. I suspect he is not an ordinary demon at all."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie chuckled and patted the White Dragon Horse on the shoulder, saying White Dragon Horse it:

"You're overthinking it. Now you go back to the sea, and I'll pack my bags and go back to Old Gao Village. I'll continue being a live-in son-in- Old Gao Village there."

Upon hearing this, the White Dragon Horse was greatly alarmed and scolded Zhu Bajie:

"Senior brother, how can you say such nonsense? Senior Brother Sha has already been captured by that monster. The two of us are no match for him. Why don't you hurry up and call Brother Monkey back?"

Zhu Bajie patted his round belly and said to the White Dragon Horse:

"How can you say such discouraging things? If I call Brother Monkey back now, he'll probably start laughing at us again."
