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

"Susu~" Suddenly, a voice called out from the courtyard.

Bai Susu suddenly realized what was happening, hurriedly sheathed her sword, and rushed out the door, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Your Majesty!"

She flew swiftly to his side and instinctively reached out her bloodied hand to support his arm.

Huang Mei, whose body felt like it was falling apart, used her strength to stand up. He looked down at the bloodstains on his arm and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Bai Susu was covered in sweat, her nose was red, but she had a bright smile in her eyes and on her face: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

Huang Mei didn't believe her at all. He raised his hand and covered the back of her hand, intending to use magic to help her heal her wounds. However, the moment he activated his magic, it went berserk again, frantically attacking her internal organs.

"puff!"

In an instant, a mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably, and Huang Mei's face turned pale again, showing signs that his time was about to come.

Bai Susu was terrified; the smile on her face froze instantly. She asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Huang Mei raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, and forced himself to say, "It's nothing, just a mouthful of blood, I'll be fine once I spit it out."

Bai Susu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she heard the other person say again, "You should quickly treat your wound. If the blood keeps flowing, it will damage your vital energy."

"Your Majesty..."

Bai Susu's heart trembled slightly. She suddenly realized that the so-called bruising was just a way to comfort her. He clearly wanted to help her heal her injuries, thus making her even more injured!

Huang Mei waved his hand: "No need for further words. After your injuries are healed, take me to find Master Miaoshan. Oh, and please retrieve the spiked club and the golden cymbal for me."

Bai Susu nodded slightly, raised her hand to draw back the spiked club and golden gong, and put them into her sleeve. She then used her immortal energy to heal the wound on her palm, and finally held Huang Mei in her arms.

With the soft, fragrant warmth of the woman in his arms, a delicate scent lingered around Huang Mei's nose, inexplicably making him feel much more comfortable...

At dawn.

Bai Susu held Huang Mei tightly as they slowly flew down to a cave. With a flick of her sleeve, she released the seal on the cave entrance and strode inside.

"Who?" A tense voice suddenly rang out from the darkness.

Bai Susu took out a luminous pearl with a flip of her hand, silently infused it with a trace of magic power, and instantly illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime.

At the end of the cave.

With her back against the mountain wall, the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune, who was sitting cross-legged, saw the faces of the two people clearly. Her tense body gradually relaxed, and the wariness in her eyes dissipated like the tide, leaving only endless complex emotions.

In particular, when she discovered that Huang Mei had suffered a severe injury and even needed Bai Susu's help to stand, she couldn't even begin to describe how she felt...

"Are you alright?"

Huang Mei gestured for Bai Susu to put him down, and then sat cross-legged opposite the Dragon Girl.

"I'm fine, the effects of the medicine are wearing off quickly... You, you don't look well?" the Dragon Girl said in a low voice.

Huang Mei smiled and said, "It's already good enough that I survived. This is the first time I've encountered such danger since I came down from the mountain. It has also reminded me that I can't rely too much on magic weapons. In the end, I still have to be strong myself."

Sudhana remained silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Knowledge should be repaid. You risked your life to save me, how could I possibly continue to target you? After I recover, I will return to the Purple Bamboo Grove and inform the Bodhisattva that I am abandoning the mission!"

"So, you really are the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune, aren't you?" Huang Mei smiled.

Sudhana nodded: "My name is Pengzhu."

Huang Mei said, "Pengzhu, I understand your thoughts and intentions, but your way of repaying kindness is wrong. You are even harming me."

The Dragon Girl, Sudhana, exclaimed in astonishment, "How could this be...?"

"The logic is simple: after you step down, won't the Bodhisattva send other capable people to restrict me?"

Through our limited contact, I have at least learned that beneath your reserve and pride lies not arrogance, but a warm and gentle integrity and kindness.

"After you leave, if another despicable person like me comes along, wouldn't I be in a very difficult situation?" Huang Mei laughed.

The Dragon Girl paused slightly, then said, "You... are not a despicable person; the Black Bear Spirit is!"

Huang Mei chuckled: "He's not even human..."

"I understand what you mean, but if I stay, I will definitely do my duty."

"On the one hand, it's because I can't deceive the Bodhisattva, and on the other hand, it's because I can't possibly hide anything from the Bodhisattva," said Sudhana.

Huang Mei's smile faded, and he said sincerely, "I don't need you to go easy on me. You can do your best to fulfill your mission. We're competing internally. This kind of competition is controllable, like a Bodhisattva. What I fear most is losing control."

Sudhana let out a soft breath and asked, "Can you tell me why you insist on opposing the Bodhisattva? In my opinion, it's incredibly unwise!"

"I don't necessarily want to go against the Bodhisattva; it's just that my path to advancement lies here," Huang Mei patiently explained. "Taking a step back would be safe, but it would also mean losing the future."

Sudhana and the Dragon Girl seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing this, Huang Mei stopped talking and instead began to heal his injuries inside the cave.

Sudhana glanced at him and silently followed suit, circulating her energy to dispel the effects of the medicine.

As sunlight streamed in through the cave entrance, she had already cleared all the toxins from her body and returned to her peak condition...

"Let me help you heal your wounds."

After quietly getting up, the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune suddenly spoke to Huang Mei.

Huang Mei slowly opened her eyes, shook her head and said, "No need, I can manage on my own."

The Dragon Girl licked her lips and said, "I'm going to settle accounts with the Black Bear Demon!"

Huang Mei's eyes lit up: "Su Su, help me up, let's go see the play."

Bai Susu: "..."

Sudhana Dragon Girl: "..."

soon.

The three arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, one in front and two behind. The Dragon Girl descended alone outside the cave, staring at the tightly closed stone door, and said, "Black Bear Spirit, come out!"

For someone who possesses both the nobility of a dragon and the transcendence of a Buddhist nun to utter the word "get lost" speaks volumes about the extent of her resentment towards the Black Bear Spirit at that moment.

Inside the cave, the black bear spirit cried out, "Dragon Girl, I know I was wrong! I was instigated by others, and I hope you can give me a chance to repent."

"You know you're wrong, why don't you open the door?" the Dragon Girl Sudhana questioned.

"I'm afraid that in your rage, you'll kill me the moment we meet," the black bear spirit said frankly.

Sudhana Dragon Girl: "..."

After a moment of silence, she raised her hand and summoned a celestial sword, then wielded it to pierce the stone gate.

Since the black bear spirit wouldn't open the door, she decided to fight her way in.

"boom!"

The immortal sword pierced the stone door heavily, but the surface of the stone door shone with a layer of emerald green light, which neutralized all the impact.

The Dragon Girl was taken aback: "Willow branch!!"

"That's right, it's a willow branch."

The black bear spirit said, "I have connected the willow branch to the mountain-protecting formation, turning it into the formation's eye; Master, you cannot break the formation, so you should give up."

With nowhere to vent her anger, the Dragon Girl turned to look at the beautiful scenery of Black Wind Mountain, and suddenly enlarged her immortal sword countless times, flattening all the green willows and peaches, and tearing apart all the flowers and vines.

In a short period of time, she transformed Black Wind Mountain into a barren wasteland, no longer possessing its former divine beauty.

In the void.

Above the clouds.

Bai Susu found it amusing and said softly, "Your Majesty, this Dragon Girl of Good Fortune... is quite cute."

Huang Mei responded, "She was born noble, never having walked or waded through mud and sewage, and her body remained unstained, thus preserving a pure heart."
