Chapter 143 I'm not alone!
"Looking for a husband? Dowry?"

The beautiful woman's words made Chen Xi confused and at a loss.

But he still answered subconsciously.

"No, I still want to go to the West. The journey is difficult and there is no way to start a family."

"Mother... benefactor, please don't make fun of me."

Chen Xi's speech was incoherent, and even he didn't know why he blurted out "mother".

When he realized this, he quickly changed his words and his expression changed slightly.

What's going on?

Could it be that he made a mistake?
Could it be that this guy is also a demon and has some means of influencing the mind?

but……

His telepathy clearly didn't sense any malice, and his nose didn't smell any evil either...

Chen Xi was a little confused by the beautiful woman's words "mother".

At this moment, the beautiful woman obviously heard this title.

She tapped Chen Xi's head with her finger in annoyance.

"You kid, now you remember to call me mother?"

"Why do you have to think about going to the West?"

"Could it be that you really want to become a monk and live like a bald donkey?"

The beautiful woman spoke earnestly, looking like a mother worried about her child.

"Now, for the so-called journey to the West, he has even disowned his mother and called me a benefactor."

"When your mother gave birth to you, she suffered a lot."

"When you were born, you ripped open your mother's belly, drank my blood, and ate my flesh."

"Now you want to become a monk and leave mother behind. Doesn't this mean that mother will be left alone in the empty garden, heartbroken?"

When the beautiful woman spoke of her deep feelings, she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Chen Xi opened his mouth, feeling that the beautiful woman in front of him must be crazy.

How come he had no impression of anything she said?

"Go west, go west. I don't know why you have to go west."

"Is it food and clothing, or wealth and glory?"

"My mother's pear garden has more than a thousand acres of fertile land, herds of cattle and horses, countless pigs and sheep, and sixty or seventy pastures in the east, west, south, and north."

"There is rice and grain that will not be used for eight or nine years, silk and satin that will not be worn for ten years, and gold and silver that will not be used for a lifetime."

"It is better than the brocade tent hiding the spring, what is the point of talking about two rows of golden hairpins."

"You are my only child now. If you are willing to stay and see me to the end of my life, you can live a comfortable and prosperous life. Isn't it better than toiling away in the west?"

The beautiful woman spoke earnestly, but Chen Xi remained silent.

Everything around seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

Faintly, there seemed to be dense whispers surrounding this place.

The sky became dim, dark, and deep...

Seeing this, the beautiful woman spoke again.

"Foolish child, if you continue to be so stubborn and willing to sink into depravity, I'm afraid there will be no cure in the world."

"Listen to my mother...put it down..."

"Stay in the opera world, get married, start a family, live and work in peace and contentment, isn't this exactly your vision?"

Chen Xi heard this and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and he couldn't help but think of Gao Laozhuang...

Yeah, that was his vision.

How he wished he could have a stable home...

When he was in Gao Village, he, the paper-cut man, married the fake Miss Gao. He cried and laughed all the time. Wasn't he just wanting a home?
"The four daughters I have are all very pretty and have their own personalities."

"If the foolish child is willing to let go of his arms and become a parent, wearing silk and brocade, wouldn't it be more interesting than wearing a clay bowl, black clothes, snow-covered shoes and a cloud-covered hat?"

"Chi'er, you don't want to be alone forever, do you?"

The beautiful woman added fuel to the fire and spoke earnestly, almost pouring out her heart.

After these words were spoken, Chen Xi, who had remained silent, finally made some movement.

However, his next words were unexpected.

"Donor, you...are obsessed."

"What is the difference between your action and my advice to you just now, not to cling to the iron pestle and grind the needle?"

Chen Xi shook his head and then laughed at himself.

The surroundings were gradually shrouded in deep darkness, and the dense whispers gradually became clearer.

"Ah……"

"I used to be homeless and wander around trying to survive, so I really wanted a home, a stable home."

"I wish I could have a wife and children in this evil world, and not have to worry about being skinned, pulled out, cooked, and fried all the time."

"But... this is just a delusion."

"You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever."

"In this demonic world, there is no such thing as a paradise."

"No matter where I hide, the so-called destiny will find me and cause even greater disasters."

"The so-called starting a family is nothing but a luxury. I can barely protect myself right now, how can I protect the people around me?"

"so……"

"As long as the journey to the west is not completed, as long as I have not reached the sacred mountain, as long as the destiny is not fulfilled, there will be no place for me in this world."

Chen Xi stared straight at the beautiful woman, his expression did not show loneliness, only numbness and indifference.

"I don't want to live in a muddle, and I don't want to see others die because of me, because of the so-called destiny..."

"So...I can't stop."

"I will continue my journey westwards and end my destiny once and for all..."

"No, we will continue to travel west and end this destiny once and for all..."

When Chen Xi finished speaking, darkness completely enveloped the place.

The sound of footsteps followed.

The dark-skinned young man, the boss Lu, the scholar, the scarred bandit...

One by one, unknown people, even nameless people, walked out of the deep darkness.

They are so numerous and dense that they are countless.

Without exception!

On each of their faces, there was a persistence, a persistence called obsession! Chen Xi opened his arms and turned his back to the crowd.

"I am not alone on this journey westward."

Chen Xi is responsible for all living beings, how can he give up easily?

There are all kinds of people in the world, some cry and some laugh, some love and some hate, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the obsession.

Faintly, there was a familiar figure in the vast crowd behind Chen Xi.

The figure was not conspicuous, staring with two big eyes, jumping up and down...

The deep darkness gradually submerged the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman looked at Chen Xi now, her eyes full of pity.

Then a relieved smile appeared on her haggard face.

"The idiot has grown up..."

"Since the idiot doesn't want to wake up, let him sleep a little longer..."

As soon as the beautiful woman finished her words, she was completely submerged in the deep darkness.

In the deep darkness, only Chen Xi was left, protected by all living beings.

He looked indifferent and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, a murmured sound was heard.

"Mother..."

……

"Mother, the holy monk seems to be asleep?"

Miss Mu looked at Chen Xi, who was lying on the table, snoring and calling "mother" from time to time, and her face suddenly looked a little strange.

Hongniang covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head repeatedly.

The holy monk is really a genius. He can even fall asleep while looking at a painting...

You know, I have to meet my mother right now.

The holy monk not only fell asleep, but also slept soundly. He even started talking in his sleep, thinking about his mother...

At the same time, Bai Zhengdan felt a little distressed when he saw Chen Xi's current appearance.

The once so majestic god and Buddha has now become so crazy that even his old mother cannot save him. It is really miserable.

And at this moment, a voice came from the old mother in the scroll.

My mother's voice was ethereal, as if it came from the sky.

"Okay, you guys go down..."

"The holy monk will be taken care of by Xiaobai for the time being. I will play music to recruit a husband tomorrow and then decide on a son-in-law..."

There was a hint of tiredness in my mother's voice, as if she was exhausted.

Upon hearing this, the four girls immediately looked reluctant.

My mother often wanders in spirit and only appears once a year on her birthday.

They still have a lot to say to their mother...

However, seeing that his mother had stopped moving and the fairy painting had returned to silence, he had no choice but to give up.

"Humph! You got a bargain!"

"You must take good care of my husband and don't let him starve."

"Tomorrow, my husband will be mine."

Miss Mu raised her head and looked at Bai Zhengdan with an unpleasant tone.

But she didn't say anything else, after all, this was her mother's instruction.

While Chen Xi was soundly sleeping, her mother had already explained to them the matter of finding a husband.

According to my mother, rules cannot be broken.

Now that you have established your reputation of seeking a husband, you naturally have to follow the rules.

There should be fair competition among those who choose the holy monk.

This time I am looking for a husband, just to add to the joy of my birthday.

My mother loves watching operas and listening to music the most, so naturally, this search for a husband would follow this principle.

All the talented demon men who come to the banquet to celebrate the birthday can participate in the husband recruitment, and the test is to sing songs and act.

Any talented man who can defeat one of the four women with this can marry her.

If any of the four women remains undefeated and has no one to marry, she can seek out a holy monk to marry.

The four girls had no objection to this. They boasted that their skills were very profound and far surpassed those of the demons.

If it was just a simple contest of fighting, they might be worried.

But if they compare the operas they have been singing since elementary school to adulthood, those monsters would never be able to compare with them even if they died of exhaustion.

As a result, the four girls were all full of confidence in this regard.

"Crazy woman! It's a little early to say such big words now..."

"My sister and I may not be as strong as you, but when it comes to singing, that's not necessarily the case."

"I hope you, crazy woman, go back and make good preparations, and don't let some weird monsters win."

"I don't want to call a pig, dog or anything like that my brother-in-law~"

Qing Wudan stood with her hands on her hips, sharp-tongued and merciless.

Miss Mu was furious when she heard this, she snorted coldly and left.

Hongniang smiled and shook her head, then said goodbye and left.

Suddenly, only Bai Zhengdan and Qing Wudan were left in the hall.

"Qingmei, you should change your temper."

"We are sisters, aren't you annoying when you say that..."

Bai Zhengdan helped Chen Xi up while lecturing Qing Wudan.

"Oh, my dear sister."

"In my opinion, you should change your temper."

"You are so weak and always show kindness. Isn't that bullying?"

"That crazy woman is about to steal your husband, and you're still like this. It really makes me mad."

Qing Wudan stomped his feet in annoyance, then his eyes rolled and he pushed Chen Xi from the side.

Bai Zhengdan didn't expect that his sister would actually play this trick.

She was caught off guard and was immediately pushed to the ground by Chen Xi...

"Well……"
