Bailong looked fierce, its huge mouth wide open, sharp teeth gleaming in the sunlight, as it lunged at Tang Sen and Sun Wukong, as if ready to swallow them whole.
Seeing a dragon appear before him, Tang Sen should have been startled, but in recent days, with all the strange occurrences like Guanyin, the demon king Sun Wukong, the god Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and celestial soldiers, his nerves had toughened. He wasn't surprised to see the dragon; he just smiled bitterly and said, "Wukong, it was harmless as a big white fish swimming in the water. Why did you have to shout and make it reveal its true form? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "Oops, it's a habit... I forgot I was seriously injured."
Tang Sen broke out in a cold sweat. "What do we do now? With your keen eyes, who would win if I fought it?"
Sun Wukong looked at the dragon seriously and said, "Your divine power is still too weak, and you don't have enough believers. This white dragon is very powerful. You can't win."
Tang Sen covered his face. "Thanks for being honest. So, we can only run for our lives."
"Probably won't be faster than it," Sun Wukong said, pouting. "Dragons can summon wind and rain, ride clouds and mist. You lost your bicycle, and you have to carry me, an injured person. We'll probably be caught and eaten within ten paces."
Tang Sen wiped the sweat from his forehead. It seemed they couldn't fight or run. Wasn't this the worst situation?
Well, as an educated person, no matter what he faced, whether human, god, Buddha, or demon, he should first try to solve the problem through conversation. Tang Sen cleared his throat and said, "This white dragon... ah, Brother White Dragon, we have no grudges. Today, we just passed by, and you ate my bowl of instant noodles. I won't hold it against you. Consider it a toll. Let's part ways."
With that, Tang Sen pulled Sun Wukong's hand and started to leave.
Sun Wukong broke out in a cold sweat. "Hey, this probably won't work. I've never seen such a polite demon."
Sure enough, the white dragon didn't let them go so easily. It coiled its long body in the sky and said, "Sir, how much food do you have in your bag? Can... can you leave it all to me?"
Before it spoke, Tang Sen and Sun Wukong were stunned. The fierce-looking white dragon spoke in a soft, gentle, and polite female voice. If they only heard the voice without seeing the image, anyone would think it was a well-educated young lady.
"Hey, Wukong, did you hear that?" Tang Sen thought his ears were playing tricks on him. "She said 'please' and 'sir'... Hey, who uses polite language when robbing? This doesn't sound like a fierce demon robbing us."
Sun Wukong also broke out in a cold sweat. "Not at all, not at all. It sounds more like a young lady politely negotiating with us."
"Please... please don't doubt my tone," the white dragon said, blushing. It was hard to imagine how a dragon could blush, but she seemed shy. "I am definitely robbing you. Please be a bit more serious... or I'll get angry."
"Not scary at all! Don't use 'I' when threatening someone!" Sun Wukong almost jumped up to comment.
"I was so prepared for a big fight!" Tang Sen shook his head.
The white dragon was even more embarrassed, looking miserable. "I've never robbed before. I'm really hungry, so I had to do it... I'm still learning, so there are many immature aspects. Please bear with me."
Tang Sen and Sun Wukong both covered their faces.
Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, "Hey, White Dragon Demon, your robbing skills are terrible. Let me teach you how to rob properly." Her face darkened, and a murderous aura surrounded her. She growled, "Girl, hand over all your possessions, or I'll tear off your scales, skin you, and break your bones."
The white dragon trembled, almost falling into the water. She pitifully took out a pearl from behind her and offered it. "This... this is all I have left. Please... take it... don't hurt me."
Tang Sen: "..."
Sun Wukong: "..."
"Hey, Wukong, I suddenly feel this dragon isn't bad," Tang Sen whispered.
Sun Wukong nodded vigorously. "I look more like the bad guy."
Tang Sen waved at the white dragon. "Young lady, come down. I'll cook you some noodles."
"Really?" The white dragon was delighted, drooling, but then she shrank back. "You're not tricking me to bully me, right? The short lady next to you looks so fierce..."
Tang Sen pulled Sun Wukong behind him and smiled. "Don't worry, she just looks fierce. She's actually a good person. Come down, you look really hungry."
Seeing Tang Sen's handsome, harmless smile, the white dragon seemed less afraid. She descended from the sky, and Tang Sen saw her transform into a young woman, about twenty years old, wearing a white dress, very elegant, and every move exuded nobility. Clearly, she was a young lady! Or a princess! Definitely not an ordinary girl.
"My name is Tang Sen," he introduced himself. "I'm a sophomore at the Imperial University, traveling to the West to broaden my horizons. What's your name?"
The young lady bowed gracefully and said in a soft, gentle voice, "I am the third princess of the Western Sea Dragon King, surnamed Ao. My name can only be told to my future husband, so I can't tell you. Please call me Lady Ao."
Tang Sen broke out in a cold sweat. What era is this? Still keeping the custom of only telling one's name to a husband? That's too ridiculous. And "Lady Ao" is such an old-fashioned name, not very pleasant to hear. "Alright, I'll call you Little White Dragon."
Sun Wukong also stepped forward and said boldly, "I'm Sun Wukong."
"Ah?" Little White Dragon was startled by the name and took three steps back. "No wonder you look so fierce. You are the demon king Sun Wukong who caused chaos in heaven five hundred years ago."
Sun Wukong seemed very proud of the chaos in heaven. When someone mentioned it, her face lit up, and she laughed. "I haven't been in the world for a long time, but it's nice to hear my name is still remembered."
Little White Dragon continued, "I heard you wielded a big staff and fought through heaven and earth..."
"Wielded a big staff?" Sun Wukong's mind flashed with a line from "Aotian Wudi Lu": "Let you taste the power of my big staff." Her face turned red. "No, I used a sword, not a big staff."
"Are you sure? You didn't use a sword. I've heard from many seniors that you used a big staff."
"No! Ah! No! I never wielded a big staff! Ah! Those are all slanders, rumors, and false accusations... Ah! I never caused chaos in heaven five hundred years ago." Sun Wukong covered her face and rolled on the ground.
Little White Dragon curiously asked Tang Sen, "What's wrong with her? It's something to be proud of, why is she embarrassed?"
Tang Sen shrugged. "Ignore her." He took out instant noodles from his travel bag, broke them open, and cooked them in a pot. Seeing some wild vegetables, "Ma Chi Xian," growing by the lake, he picked them, washed them in the lake water, and threw them into the pot.
The fragrant smell spread, and Little White Dragon drooled, staring at the pot.
Sun Wukong, seeing no one mention the big staff, got up from the ground and suddenly asked, "Little White Dragon, since you live in the lake, why are you hungry? There are plenty of fish, shrimp, crabs, and clams to eat."
Little White Dragon looked pitiful. "You don't know, in recent years, humans have overfished and polluted the environment. There are no fish left in the lake, let alone shrimp, crabs, or clams. I can't even find a meal for three meals a day. Out of 365 days a year, 350 days I go hungry."
Sun Wukong wiped the sweat from her forehead. "No way! Humans are so arrogant? You're a powerful demon, why are you afraid of humans? Just bite them when they come to fish!"
"I... I'm timid... I don't want to fight..." Little White Dragon said, looking miserable. "And there are many good people among them... Also... I'm afraid... afraid of alarming the heavens..."
