Everything slowed down, but Tang Sen's movements did not.

He extended his left hand and effortlessly gripped the handle of the trident, gently pulling it away from the mouse spirit girl.

"Ah?" The mouse spirit girl was taken aback.

Tang Sen's right hand stretched forward, and with a casual grab, the mouse spirit girl felt his palm growing infinitely large, instantly blocking out the sky and covering the entire world. It was as if the whole universe was filled with Tang Sen's giant hand.

"Ah, what kind of divine power is this?" The mouse spirit girl screamed, finding no place to run. From all directions, overwhelming Buddhist and Taoist powers pressed down on her. As a mere mouse demon, how could she possibly resist such a force that rivaled the heavens?

The giant hand gently closed, capturing the mouse spirit girl in its palm. When she came to her senses, she realized that Tang Sen's hand had returned to normal, now gripping her neck. Knowing she had encountered a great being, she didn't dare move, tears streaming down her face as she cried, "So powerful... I lost... You're not just an ordinary human, are you? Are you the incarnation of some Bodhisattva or True Lord?"

"Bodhisattva? True Lord?" Tang Sen was puzzled. "I'm not!"

"If you're not a Bodhisattva or True Lord, how could you use such powerful divine power?" The mouse spirit girl said with a mournful face. "With such great abilities, why did you play tricks on me? You pretended to be a novice, speaking grandly, and then suddenly used such power. Clearly, you were just teasing me on purpose..."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Ba in the cave still couldn't open their eyes, unaware of what had happened outside. But they both sensed the immense power emanating from Tang Sen and couldn't help but exclaim, "Strange, Master, I just felt both Buddhist and Taoist powers from you. Both were incredibly strong, far surpassing us, clearly reaching the level of a Bodhisattva or True Lord. How did you do that?"

"This... I really don't know." Tang Sen was sweating profusely. He had a vague sense of what had happened, but now he was fully awake, and that immense divine power had dissipated within him, leaving no trace.

He couldn't figure out what had happened to him. In any case, the Tang Sen from just now didn't seem like himself, but it also seemed like it was him. No matter what, he had no idea how to use that divine power again.

*Heart Sutra*, what did you do?

"I don't know... I really don't know!" Tang Sen said blankly. "Who can understand such a bizarre situation?"

He vaguely remembered questioning the philosophy of the strong ruling the weak, and something strange seemed to have happened, with his past and present overlapping a bit.

In the blink of an eye, he couldn't remember what had just happened. His memory quickly became hazy, and even the little girl and her words were scattered into fragmented memories, lost completely, like when one wakes up remembering they had a dream but can't recall the details.

The White Dragon had transformed back into a lady, and the Hugging Bear was also active. "Haha, we won. Brother Tang Sen actually had a hidden move."

"Hey, you two, you disappear when there's a fight and only come out to celebrate after it's over?" Tang Sen was sweating.

"Anyway, I lost..." The mouse spirit girl said dejectedly. "Do whatever you want with me, whether you want to kill me, torture me, or make me pose in eighteen different ways..."

"I wouldn't do those things." Tang Sen almost jumped. "We agreed that if I won, you would release everyone. That's all I want."

"Alright, alright." The mouse spirit girl said with a mournful face. "Now that you've caught me, I have no choice but to release them. Just take them away. By the way, is that really all you want? Don't you want to have a litter of baby mice?"

"Absolutely not!" Tang Sen released his grip on her neck, and the mouse spirit girl immediately retreated to a distance. Hu Niu also ran over, and a bunch of little demons emerged from the forest, transformed from various animals. Before long, they surrounded them. Among them were the wolf demon and bear demon Tang Sen had defeated, as well as the deer demon who sold tickets at the zoo... All the demons looked at Tang Sen with complex expressions.

Tang Sen held out his hands to them. "I deeply sympathize with the unfair treatment you received at the zoo, but sympathy aside, I cannot condone your behavior of keeping humans in cages for entertainment. I also oppose all acts of the strong bullying the weak."

"Thank you for sparing my life." The mouse spirit girl bowed to him.

"Hmph! I don't thank you." Hu Niu turned her head away.

"Alright, don't be so stubborn. Mr. Tang Sen is a good person." The mouse spirit girl pulled Hu Niu to make her bow to Tang Sen.

Tang Sen called out to the handsome men and beautiful women in the cave. "Alright, everyone, come out. It's safe outside now. You should go down the mountain and return home."

The handsome men and beautiful women cheered and rushed out of the cave. Seeing a large group of demons outside, they were terrified and hid behind Tang Sen. "Master Tang, you only defeated them, but you didn't eliminate them? They're all still alive..."

"Eliminate them? That wouldn't be right." Tang Sen put on a high monk's demeanor. "I am a compassionate monk who dislikes killing. Even though they are demons, they are living beings. As long as they are willing to reform and start anew... cough, start anew as demons, there's no need to exterminate them completely."

The handsome men and beautiful women praised him. "Master Tang is indeed a great monk. Such a realm is beyond us mere mortals. But what if they come back to cause trouble in the human world and capture us again after you leave?"

Tang Sen thought carefully. That was indeed a problem. He had to ask, "Miss Mouse, Miss Hu, will you continue to run the human zoo?"

"Well... of course we will." The mouse spirit girl said seriously. "I was just thinking that after you leave, I'll go down the mountain and capture another batch of handsome men and beautiful women."

Tang Sen: "..."

What the heck, what was I doing here all this time? Tang Sen was exasperated. "Can't you just stop? I already said not to bully the weak."

"I don't understand such profound theories, and besides... I need to make money." The mouse spirit girl adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "I still don't have enough money to buy a PS4. Once I earn enough to buy a PS4 and a few game discs, I'll stop."

Tang Sen had long known she was making money to buy a PS4, but the handsome men and beautiful women didn't. Hearing that they had been captured and imprisoned for months just for a PS4, they were almost driven mad. The handsome man named Miao Li angrily said, "Just for a cheap PS4 and a few game discs? You actually kept us locked up for so long? Damn it, if you needed money, why didn't you just ask? A PS4 and game discs are only worth a few thousand yuan. Why didn't you just ask us for the money? Or even search my pockets? I always carry a wallet with several thousand yuan in cash."

Miao Li took out a leather wallet from his pocket, filled with cash... He threw it on the ground and cried, "Just for a few thousand yuan, we were locked up in cages for months... If you had just taken my wallet, I would have been free long ago."

"Wouldn't asking you for money be the same as robbing you?" The mouse spirit girl said seriously. "Humans never rob animals in zoos... so we can't rob humans in the human zoo either. That's only fair. I knew you had money, but I never touched it. What a noble character..."

Noble my basket, the handsome men and beautiful women were furious, each pulling out their wallets and throwing them on the ground. In no time, there were tens of thousands of yuan on the ground.

Tang Sen collected the money with a bitter smile and handed it to the mouse spirit girl. "Take it to buy the PS4. The extra money can be shared among the little demons. These handsome men and beautiful women owe a karmic debt to the animals from their past lives, so... you can use this money without feeling guilty. Consider it helping them repay their karmic debts."

"Really?" The mouse spirit girl took the money and smiled happily. "Great, now I can finally buy the PS4 and give it to her."
