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

"Junior sister, do you know what the next tribulation is?"

After forming his first impression, Muzha did not act rashly. Instead, he asked the Dragon Girl who was standing to the side.

Sudhana nodded slightly: "I have read about the eighty-one tribulations in the Bodhisattva's plan. The next tribulation is a special session to distribute merits to the Heavenly Court."

On the surface, it is said that Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, descended to the mortal realm and forcibly abducted the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom.

This Kingdom of Baoxiang is a place Tang Sanzang will inevitably pass through, so it will definitely trigger the mission to rescue the princess.

Mu Zha pressed further, "And then?"

The Dragon Girl replied, "Kui Mulang has the art of divine escape, so Sun Wukong probably cannot capture him alive. He can only ask Heaven for help."

Once the Jade Emperor investigates, he will be able to find out the truth. At that time, he will send the other stars to the mortal realm to resolve this calamity and gain merit.

However, this is under the most ideal circumstances.

If the person Heaven sought help from was Huang Mei… Heaven's interests would not be harmed, but the Bodhisattva's arrangements would benefit Huang Mei instead.

Mu Zha slowly narrowed his eyes: "So, you're saying that Sun Wukong can ask Heaven for help, but Huang Mei can't?"

The Dragon Girl's expression paused slightly, and she looked down at her toes:

"The Bodhisattva said that among the entire pilgrimage team, only the Tripitaka Master can retain his merits and eventually become a Sandalwood Merit Buddha."

The merits of the rest will be converted into achievements and converted into Buddhist attainments.

Mu Zha raised an eyebrow: "What if Sun Wukong and the others disagree?"

"Regardless of whether it's top secret and they have no way of knowing, even if they did know, once they enter the Great Thunderclap Temple, nothing unexpected would happen," said the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune very subtly.

Mu Zha seemed to be deep in thought, and a plan gradually formed in his mind. He said softly:

"Now that you have been demoted by Sanzang and can no longer stay in the pilgrimage team to keep Huang Mei in check, the only way is to help Kui Mulang, so as to prevent Huang Mei from helping the pilgrimage team to directly capture Kui Mulang."

Furthermore, I will immediately go to Heaven to find my father, firstly to borrow the Exquisite Pagoda to strengthen the defenses of Kui Mulang's lair. Secondly, I will ask my eldest brother and third brother to take turns guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate to prevent Huang Mei from entering the Heavenly Court.

"Thank you for your help, senior brother," said the Dragon Girl with a face full of gratitude.

Mu Zha waved his hand: "We are called senior and junior brothers and sisters, but in reality we are just like real siblings. There is no need to be so formal."

At this point, he suddenly turned to look at Zhifeng, his expression carrying a hint of admonition:

"My junior sister has been pampered since childhood. Although she is intelligent, she is also naive and pure."

Since you volunteered to protect her, you're not just protecting her safety, but also her pure and innocent heart. Do you understand what I mean?

Zhi Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he said with an awkward smile, "I understand. Please rest assured, Senior Brother Huian, I won't lead Senior Sister astray."

Mu Zha nodded, smiled slightly at the Dragon Girl of Good Fortune, and his body instantly turned into golden light and disappeared.

The next day.

Having arranged everything, Muzha held the exquisite pagoda in his palm and dropped it directly from the South Heavenly Gate to Wanzishan Mountain. There stood a pagoda on the mountain, its golden top shining brightly and filled with colorful energy, like a blessed land of immortals. In reality, however, it was just a decorative facade, serving no other purpose than to look good.

With a slight smile, Mu Zha rode the wind to the tower gate and called out loudly, "Junior Sister..."

The first floor of the pagoda.

Inside the main hall.

With her back straight and eyes fixed straight ahead, the Dragon Girl, who had been sitting upright in the guest seat, suddenly stood up and smiled as she looked towards the direction of the main seat: "Your Majesty, my senior brother has arrived."

Meanwhile, the humanoid demon in the main seat, with a blue face, red beard, and flowing crimson hair, wearing gleaming golden armor, a belt cinching his waist, and a cloud-patterned sash, dared not be negligent and immediately stood up: "I will go with you to welcome Prince Muzha."

In the eyes of Buddhist disciples like Zhifeng, Muzha's most esteemed identity was that of Guanyin Bodhisattva's first disciple and left attendant.

But in the eyes of this old demon, the most noble identity of the other party is the son of the Heavenly King, a top-level second-generation power in the heavens. How could he dare to put on airs in front of the other party?

In the blink of an eye, the group of three hurried out of the Wave Moon Cave, passed through the Golden Pagoda Gate, and looked up to see the slender figure holding the Exquisite Pagoda.

"Senior brother," the Dragon Girl called out with a smile.

"Greetings, Prince Muzha!" Kui Mulang bowed respectfully.

Mu Zha smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's temple is quite impressive."

Kui Mulang said with embarrassment, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. It's just a facade."

Mu Zha raised his hand and lifted the exquisite pagoda, chanting a spell. The pagoda's body immediately became illusory and grew larger and larger until it flew towards the pagoda's facade, overlapping or merging with the pagoda's body.

"It's not just about appearances anymore."

"Thank you, Prince Muzha." Kui Mulang was flattered and bowed in gratitude.

Mu Zha smiled and said, "Let's talk inside the tower..."

A short while later.

The group of four returned to the tower, where they saw a beautiful young woman with cloud-like hair, double hairpins, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, and cherry lips. She was described as having an exceptionally beautiful appearance and noble temperament. Upon seeing them, she hurriedly bowed and greeted them.

"Esteemed immortals, this is my wife, Baihuaxiu," Kui Mulang introduced.

Mu Zha carefully examined the woman, noticing the hatred in her eyes and her cold expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Where has the Queen gone?"

Baihua lowered her head and said softly, "I'm feeling bored upstairs. Let's go out for some fresh air and relieve the stuffiness."

Muzha nodded: "Your Majesty, please."

Thank you.

Baihua Xiu thanked her sincerely, then quickly stepped out the door.

"You actually forced yourself on her?"

After silently withdrawing his gaze, Mu Zha turned to look at Kui Mulang, his eyes filled with a strange light.

Kui Mulang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please understand. In her previous life, she was a jade maiden serving incense in the Pixiang Palace, and we had a secret affair."

"Then why didn't you make her realize her past life before you took her for yourself?" Mu Zha questioned.

Kui Mulang responded, "That year, seeing the look of terror on her face, I finally felt some pity for her."

After all, once she awakens her past life memories, it's equivalent to erasing her true self in this life. From then on, there will only be the Jade Maiden in the world, and no more Hundred Flowers Shy.

"Once she returns, help her awaken her past life memories immediately," Mu Zha said calmly. "Otherwise, she'll remain a potential threat!"

Kui Mulang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes..."

the other side.

After dealing with the karma from that year, Wukong rode a cloud and hurried back, soon finding the pilgrimage team on the main road to the west.

"Second Brother, Master, Junior Brothers, I, Old Sun, am back." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the cloud and landed lightly beside Huang Mei.

"Wukong, how did you solve it?" Sanzang couldn't help but ask.

Sun Wukong said succinctly, "I taught that old king a lesson and made him realize the consequences."

"You didn't kill any living beings, did you?" Sanzang asked.

Sun Wukong chuckled: "I haven't done anything wrong."

Sanzang: "..."

Huang Mei couldn't help but chuckle, changing the subject and saying, "Now that Wukong is back, I should also leave."

Sun Wukong asked curiously, "Second Brother, is something important?"

"I've accumulated enough cultivation potential, and I'm preparing to find a place to break through to a higher realm," Huang Mei explained.

Beside them, Pigsy and Sandy exchanged a glance, both seeing the complexity in each other's eyes.

They witnessed firsthand the entire process of the other party accumulating cultivation potential. All they could say was, such wealth and power were truly astounding, making one envious and jealous...
