Chapter 40

"Yang Zhen, are you ready?" Early in the morning, the little girl secretly ran to Yang Zhen's bamboo house to inquire about his situation.

Yang Zhen smiled and said proudly, "Everything is OK. I have already infused my magic into this bronze statue. Today, with so much activity at Luojia Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva probably won't notice such a small movement. Once I transform, I can leave."

"Great!" the little girl said excitedly. "I want to go to the Bodhisattva right away. After those people from the South Sea have met Guanyin Bodhisattva, you can transform and follow me. This way, we can deceive Guanyin Bodhisattva."

After saying this, the little girl left the bamboo house and ran towards the Cave of Tidal Sound. Today was the day when the people from the South Sea would come to take the little girl back. She definitely had to be there.

Not long after, the people from the South Sea finished their greetings with Guanyin Bodhisattva and were ready to take the little girl back to the South Sea. As the large group was about to reach the seaside, Yang Zhen transformed into a soldier and mixed into the South Sea's group.

With the little girl's help in creating chaos, Yang Zhen's sudden appearance did not arouse the suspicion of the South Sea people, and he easily mixed into their group.

The little girl, of course, knew which person was Yang Zhen. As soon as she saw him, she immediately pointed at Yang Zhen and said, "Hey! It's you! Hurry up and come over to carry the princess's palanquin."

"Huh?" Yang Zhen, upon hearing this, immediately glared at the little girl with a fierce look, as if he wanted to eat her.

Originally, Yang Zhen's plan was for the little girl to secretly cast a spell to cause chaos in the dragon palace's group. Then, the little girl would secretly knock out a soldier and drag him into her crystal palanquin. This way, when Yang Zhen appeared, there would be no inconsistency. After all, the dragon palace's group was very orderly, and if one more person appeared, it would definitely be noticed during the lineup.

However, Yang Zhen never expected that the little girl would knock out his palanquin bearer and boldly ask Yang Zhen to carry the palanquin for her.

This was truly unbearable. The little girl was being too outrageous.

Seeing Yang Zhen's fierce expression, the little girl did not dare to be too bold. She then pointed to another person to carry the palanquin, and Yang Zhen mixed into the group, leaving Luojia Mountain with the large group. Seeing the little girl's sensible behavior, Yang Zhen was satisfied and gave her a thumbs up, praising her for being capable.

The moment they left Luojia Mountain, Yang Zhen clearly felt a probing aura pass by him. This was the formation set up by Guanyin Bodhisattva to trap him. As soon as anyone touched the formation, Guanyin Bodhisattva would immediately sense it. Therefore, when Yang Zhen first arrived at Luojia Mountain, he tried to escape several times but never succeeded.

Even using the 'Stealth' technique didn't work. Even the Heavenly Court's Demon Mirror couldn't detect Yang Zhen's stealth, but Guanyin Bodhisattva's formation could. It seemed that the skills from the shop were not invincible. Everything has its strengths and weaknesses, and no magic or power is without its flaws.

However, Yang Zhen was drooling over the skills available for the game characters to learn in the shop. After leaving Luojia Mountain this time, he would definitely learn all the skills in the shop and upgrade them to level five. Then, he would work hard to improve his cultivation. By then, Guanyin Bodhisattva would no longer be able to catch him!

Following the South Sea group all the way to the South Sea Dragon Palace, Yang Zhen finally felt completely at ease. It seemed that this plan had truly deceived Guanyin Bodhisattva. The remaining question was how long they could keep it hidden from her. Perhaps after a few days of not seeing Yang Zhen, Guanyin Bodhisattva would start to suspect.

But by then, Yang Zhen would be long gone.

Using the Water Repelling Spell, Yang Zhen followed the group to the South Sea Dragon Palace and found an opportunity to leave the group, hiding in a secret place. Although the scenery of the Dragon Palace was beautiful, Yang Zhen had no heart to appreciate it. Although he had escaped from Luojia Mountain, he would eventually be discovered by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, Yang Zhen decided to quickly help the little girl take revenge on the South Sea Dragon Mother and then leave the South Sea, returning directly to Xiniuhezhou to continue accumulating merit.

After the little girl returned to the South Sea Dragon Palace, she first met the Dragon King and Dragon Mother, then paid respects to her mother, and then met her brothers and sisters. Finally, the whole family had a big reunion dinner. This back and forth took quite a bit of time. The little girl, after all, was one of Guanyin Bodhisattva's people. Although her status in the Dragon Palace was low, her identity was different. As a favorite of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the South Sea Dragon Clan naturally dared not offend her.

By the time of the Journey to the West, the four sea dragon palaces had completely declined. During the Fengshen period, the four sea dragon kings dared to force Nezha to commit suicide, showing no respect to the True Immortal Taiyi. However, in the Journey to the West era, after the Dragon King of the East Sea was bullied by Sun Wukong, he could only file a complaint with the Heavenly Court. The Third Prince of the West Sea even had to serve as Tang Sanzang's horse, suffering great humiliation.

After waiting a day, the little girl came to find Yang Zhen early the next morning and told him that the revenge plan was canceled.

It turned out that after the little girl returned to the South Sea, she received a warm welcome. Her mother, due to her daughter's status, had her position in the South Sea greatly improved. The South Sea Dragon Mother naturally did not dare to bully the little girl's mother anymore. Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva must have played a 'helping hand' in this.

So, after this return home, the little girl found that her family was different. Therefore, the kind-hearted little girl forgave them and canceled the original revenge plan.

Yang Zhen, of course, had no objections. He didn't want to play such a boring revenge game with the little girl. However, since he had promised her, he would keep his word.

Now that the little girl no longer wanted to take revenge on her stepmother, Yang Zhen said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave. You stay and enjoy your time with your family."

With that, Yang Zhen turned to leave.

"Wait!" the little girl called out, asking, "Aren't you planning to return to Luojia Mountain?"

Turning around, Yang Zhen squinted at the little girl for a while before saying, "No, I never wanted to stay at Luojia Mountain. I escaped with your help this time, so I won't go back."

"But, how will I explain it to the Bodhisattva?" the little girl asked anxiously.

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You don't need to explain anything. Just pretend you don't know anything. Well, I won't waste any more time. I'm leaving. Maybe we'll meet again someday!"

Patting the little girl's head, Yang Zhen turned and quickly left the South Sea Dragon Palace, flying towards Xiniuhezhou.

"Goodbye! I'll miss you!" the little girl waved vigorously at Yang Zhen's back until he completely disappeared, then returned to the Dragon Palace.
