Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

Chapter 158 Enjoying this place so much, I don't even miss Shu!

"I'll call you Senior Brother Pig!"

Seeing that he had piqued the fat man's curiosity, Red Boy took the opportunity to untie him.

It was precisely because of this curiosity that Pigsy did not choose to flee after regaining his freedom. Instead, he frowned and asked, "From which branch did you get this title?"

"From my branch." The familiar voice suddenly rang out from ahead again.

Pigsy's head buzzed, and looking in the direction of the sound, he indeed found that the Bodhisattva had transformed into a yellow-browed figure in the celestial light—

"Junior Martial Uncle?!"

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Huang Mei asked with a smile.

Pigsy scratched his head, a thousand thoughts clashing wildly in his mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence: "Junior Uncle, you have quite the nerve!"

Subduing demons for calamity, impersonating Guanyin—either of these would be capital offenses for most people!

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."

Huang Mei responded with a smile, then said to Hong Hai'er, "Prepare a banquet to welcome your senior brother back."

"Alright!" Red Boy replied crisply and immediately instructed the little demons to prepare a feast.

"Junior Uncle, aren't you afraid of getting caught red-handed?"

Seeing that all the demons in the cave were busy, Pigsy turned to Yellow Eyebrows and asked.

"I certainly won't reveal my true form to outsiders, but you're not an outsider, Pigsy," Yellow Eyebrows laughed.

Pigsy was quite pleased with these words and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I, Old Pig, am truly one of your own."

Huang Mei said, "That means, once you arrive at Fire Cloud Cave, you're home."

Pigsy smiled, then suddenly remembered something: "My master's hometown is in the countryside—"

"He's locked up in the dungeon," Yellow Eyebrows said bluntly.

Pigsy couldn't hold back any longer, and his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

Happiness comes from comparison. If your master is locked up in the dungeon while you are chatting here, then you are happier than your master.

It wasn't that he lacked filial piety; it was mainly because Sanzang was usually busy and verbose, but here, there was no danger to his life, so the situation was naturally different.

"Master, the meal is ready."

As the two chatted idly, Red Boy came running over like a ball of fire, smiling brightly.

"Bajie, take your seat," said Huangmei.

"Please go first, Junior Uncle," Pigsy said politely.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the restaurant. Looking at the braised pork, crab-stuffed oranges, steamed shrimp, roasted goose and duck, and roasted whole lamb on the wooden table, Pigsy's throat kept bobbing, and he hesitated, saying, "Uncle-Master, I am a monk, and not killing is my fundamental precept."

Huang Mei asked, "Where did you kill?"

Pigsy reluctantly sat down and said, "We can't eat meat either—"

"Where's the meat?" Huang Mei lied through his teeth.

Pigsy said, "Isn't this it?"

Huang Mei said, "Imitation meat."

Pigsy swallowed hard: "So, I can eat it?"

"Of course you can, Red Boy, why don't you hurry up and pour your senior brother a drink?" Huang Mei waved his hand and said.

Red Boy gritted his teeth, suppressing a laugh, opened the wine bottle, and poured Pigsy a full cup.

Pigsy sniffed and asked, "Uncle-Master, what's this?"

"Porridge," said Huang Mei. "The ingredients are only sorghum, wheat, and water. It's clean and hygienic. Bajie, drink your porridge."

Pigsy picked up the cup, downed it in one gulp, and, feeling the tingling sensation on his scalp, let out a long breath: "Uncle-Master, this porridge is quite potent."

Huang Mei said, "Have a couple of bites of vegetables to calm down—"

Two hours later.

Night had fallen.

Looking at his senior brother Pig, who was slumped on the table, fast asleep, Red Boy said with a smile, "Master, he trusts you quite a bit."

"Because he knows I won't harm him," Yellow Eyebrows chuckled. "Find two little demons and carry him to the bed—"

The next morning.

Pigsy woke up naturally, stretched, and said, "Ah, that feels so good!"

Ever since leaving Wuji Kingdom, he had been enduring wind and rain, sleeping in the open, and hadn't eaten or slept well. He hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.

A short while later, as he stepped out of the stone chamber, he ran into Red Boy and asked with a smile, "Looking for me?"

"Brother Pig, breakfast is ready. I've come to call you for dinner," said Red Boy.

"Thank you for your trouble," Pigsy said somewhat embarrassedly.

Compared to this child, I'm as lazy as a pig.

Red Boy waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's all the little demons below who are busy. Uncle, come with me."

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived side by side at the dining table. Looking at the food on the table, Pigsy couldn't help but ask, "Porridge for breakfast?"

"Master said that drinking porridge in the morning is good for the stomach," Red Boy said.

Pigsy said, "That makes some sense. Where's your master?"

"Master said he wanted to show off his skills, so he's making sweet and sour fish," Red Boy said.

Pigsy blinked: "Fish?"

Red Boy scratched his head: "Made of dough."

"Come and eat!"

At this moment, Huang Mei walked over carrying a plate, and the rich aroma made Zhu Bajie's mouth water instantly.

This fish dish must taste really good!

After more than ten days of this, Pigsy had thoroughly enjoyed his meal, and his relationship with Yellow Eyebrows and his master and disciple progressed rapidly at the dinner table. He was already calling Red Boy "little brother" every time.

Red Boy's way of addressing him gradually changed from senior brother to elder brother, and then to elder brother. If you didn't look at their appearance, they really looked like brothers.

However, on the other side...

The guardians of the westward journey outside the Drill Mountain and the three dragon girls were still waiting silently, with the latter three becoming increasingly anxious as they waited.

Even though I knew that Pigsy would definitely slack off on the way, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, enough time for him to stay in Gao Village for ten days. How could he not have returned yet?

"Great Sage, is Pigsy alright?"

On this day, the Dragon Girl suddenly turned to Sun Wukong and asked a question.

Sun Wukong smiled and waved his hand: "With his background and sect, who would dare to cause him any trouble?"

"Dragon Girl, don't worry too much. Perhaps he's enjoying himself somewhere. What's that saying again? 'He's so happy he forgets his homeland.'"

Sudhana sighed, "The key issue is that he hasn't given a specific return date, which is making people anxious and restless."

Sun Wukong comforted her, saying, "There's no deadline for the journey to the West, so Dragon Girl, there's no need to rush. If the Buddhist sect is in a hurry, why don't they send the scriptures eastward?"

Sudhana Dragon Girl: "————"

What are you saying?

"What I'm worried about is that Pigsy will be captured by the monsters of the Fire Cloud Cave," Baiyun suddenly said.

Sudhana Dragon Girl's eyelids twitched: "It's not impossible—Great Sage, why don't you secretly sneak into the Fire Cloud Cave and take a look?"

""

Sun Wukong waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't have your willow branch. If I get hit by that demonic fire, the fire will burn my body, the demonic energy will enter my body, my three souls will leave my body, and my chest will be congested. It's hard to say whether I can survive."

Sudhana Dragon Girl: "————"

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

How could this monkey be so lazy?

A sense of despondency and disillusionment is hard to explain.

However, despite her doubts, she still had to do what needed to be done. With no other choice, she took the initiative to undertake the exploration task: "Then I'll go into the cave and take a look. Please wait for me outside the Fire Cloud Cave—"
