Chapter 54

As Nezha retreated, Sun Wukong finally had his hands free. With a loud laugh, he jumped in front of Tang Sen: "Hey, are you hurt?"

Tang Sen smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Sun Wukong pointed at Li Jing and said, "You despicable guy, actually trying to send people to tie me up to catch Tang Sen. You're becoming more and more shameless. You seemed more upright 500 years ago."

Li Jing angrily replied, "My integrity is much higher than yours. At least I don't go around blowing under people's skirts."

"Hmph, you talk big. 500 years ago, you put me in Laozi's alchemy furnace, and all my clothes were burned off. Compared to blowing under skirts, you were much worse," Sun Wukong patted Tang Sen's shoulder and said, "Well done. For those shameless guys in Heaven, you should strip them to avenge the burning of my clothes."

Li Jing was speechless.

Tang Sen asked curiously, "What did you do after your clothes were burned off 500 years ago?"

Sun Wukong looked grim and said, "What else could I do? I used the alchemy furnace as clothes, just sticking my head and limbs out, and then I wreaked havoc in Heaven!"

A strange image formed in Tang Sen's mind: a round alchemy furnace with a head and limbs, wielding a golden cudgel, attacking everyone in Heaven. The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

Sun Wukong pointed at Li Jing with his golden cudgel and said, "Give up your life!"

Li Jing snorted, "Don't think you've won. Although Nezha lost to you, she hasn't lost her fighting power. With me, we still have a chance. I've already fought Tang Sen and know his limits. Without using the skirt-blowing trick, he's not much of a fighter."

As she spoke, there was another loud explosion. The Linglong Pagoda suddenly flew into the sky. It turned out that the trapped Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Bajie, had used her nine-toothed rake to break free. Li Jing had been slightly weakened by Tang Sen's victory, giving Zhu Bajie the chance to break out.

She laughed and leaped to Tang Sen's side, "Master, that broken pagoda kept me tied up for a long time. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but it looks like Li Jing is in trouble now," Tang Sen smiled and shrugged.

Li Jing looked left at the demon king Sun Wukong and right at Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie. These two together could pierce the sky. The 8,000 heavenly soldiers she brought had been defeated by the bear hug, and she and Nezha couldn't possibly win. She could only force a laugh, "Ah, this Heavenly King suddenly remembers many heavenly duties that need to be handled. I must go back and take care of them. Let's part ways here."

"Nonsense, you've been idle in Heaven for 500 years. What duties?" Zhu Bajie shouted, "Don't run."

"Hey, don't run!" Sun Wukong also shouted.

Only a fool would not run. Li Jing grabbed Nezha and rode the auspicious cloud into the sky. A few surviving heavenly soldiers followed behind. Sun Wukong called for the somersault cloud to chase, but Tang Sen held her back, "Forget it, let her go."

"That woman will come back with heavenly soldiers again, it's very annoying."

"It's fine... I was wrong today, using despicable tricks to defeat her. So, today's victory is not honorable, and we shouldn't make it harder for her," Tang Sen said softly, "I hope next time she comes, I can fight her honorably."

"Alright, if you say so," Sun Wukong smiled and put away the golden cudgel.

"Unfortunately, I still don't know why Heaven wants to kill me so badly," Tang Sen said with a grim face.

Sun Wukong pointed to the sky, "Didn't the Jade Emperor say? You insulted her too much, and you told Li Jing that the master's humiliation means the minister's death... Think carefully, have you ever raped, molested, or abandoned the Jade Emperor?"

"Of course not!" Tang Sen said irritably, "You saw, my strength can't even match one-tenth of Li Jing's divine power. I only survived using despicable tricks. How could I have the ability to go to Heaven and molest the Jade Emperor? Besides, I'm still a virgin."

"Ha!" Sun Wukong laughed, "Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean you didn't do it."

"What do you mean?" Tang Sen frowned.

"What you said only applies to mortals. Mortals can confidently say they didn't do something if they didn't. But now you're involved in the world of immortals, and some things are hard to say... Maybe in this life you didn't do anything despicable to her, but what about your past lives? Your past, past, past, past, past lives? Who knows, maybe in one of those lives, you made the Jade Emperor do all sorts of things and humiliated her... It's not surprising that she holds a grudge against you."

Tang Sen was sweating, "This... It really seems possible when you put it that way."

"So, don't think too much. I, Sun Wukong, don't think about anything. I kill people who come to kill me, and I kill gods who block my way, as long as my heart is clear. Whether it's this life or past lives, I just want to live a happy life."

"Ha ha ha, well said!" Tang Sen laughed, putting aside the conspiracy theories in his head, "I understand. Thinking too much now is useless. As long as I reach the Vulture Peak, all my questions will be answered."

Everyone picked up their backpacks, which they had thrown aside during the battle, and prepared to set off again. Since the battle took place at the edge of Gao Lao Village, it had alarmed many mortals. Many people knelt and worshiped the sky, while others whispered about who Tang Sen and his group were.

"We need to leave the city quickly," Tang Sen said, looking at the growing crowd, "If we stay too long, we'll be surrounded by journalists."

"What are journalists?" Sun Wukong, who had been trapped for 500 years, didn't understand.

Tang Sen smiled and explained, "They are institutions that publish interesting things to the public. Usually, people who are reported in the news become very popular and receive enthusiastic public support." He gave a simple introduction to the news.

Sun Wukong was delighted, "Oh, that's a great thing. I want to meet the journalists and have them publish my mature, full, sexy, and charming photos in the newspaper. I want to be on TV, hahaha, I want everyone in the world to see how beautiful I am!"

Tang Sen covered his face, "What mature, full, sexy, and charming are you? You're just a flat-chested little girl, don't be so smug."

"Actually... I want to be in the news too," Bao Bao Bear raised her hand, "If I become famous, many people will want to hug me, right?"

Tang Sen covered his face again, "Bao Bao Bear, you're a girl, you need to have integrity. Don't go around hugging just anyone."

"I'm Bao Bao Bear! I live to hug."

"Alright, I'll hug you, but going on the news is really not a good idea," Tang Sen hugged Bao Bao Bear, jumped onto the bicycle transformed by Bai Long Ma, and pedaled, "Let's go quickly, or the journalists will really catch us."

Zhu Bajie followed behind the bicycle, laughing, "If it's a beautiful female journalist, I wouldn't mind being tied up. By the way, the method you used to defeat Li Jing today was really clever. Using Bai Long Ma to blow her skirt, hahaha... That tactic really resonates with me. Unfortunately, I was trapped in the Linglong Pagoda and couldn't see what was happening outside. What a pity."

Bai Long Ma said shyly, "Let's never mention this again, it's too embarrassing."

Zhu Bajie laughed, "It's Li Jing who should be embarrassed, not you. What are you afraid of? In the future, when you see female demons or goddesses, just use the wind to blow their skirts, and I'll sneak a peek at their undergarments."

"Y-You... You're a middle-aged pervert."

Tang Sen: "..."

Taking this group of women, can I really reach the Western Paradise?

Tang Sen felt a lot of pressure!
