Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ever since Lu Ze and his group learned from Zhen Yuanzi that their plan had been carried out with the Buddha's tacit approval from the very beginning, they have completely let loose.

To put it bluntly, it means they've stopped pretending.

Previously, they would at least go through the motions of going on a pilgrimage, but now they have directly transformed into the Fourth Calamity.

Along the westward route, prioritize eliminating all demons and monsters possessing treasures and magical artifacts.

The primary targets are those monsters who have official positions and powerful connections.

After all, they're fat!

One after another, they looted everything from Laozi's mount, Guanyin Bodhisattva's pet, and Manjushri Bodhisattva's lion, filling their storage spaces with magical treasures and elixirs.

Looking at the crystal-clear Zimu River before him and feeling his storage bag bulge again, Lu Ze was filled with boundless pride.

The river reflected the sky and clouds, and the reeds on both banks swayed gently in the wind, creating a beautiful scene, and his mood was even more beautiful.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Xing and Huohua had already rushed to the riverbank.

The two of them took out containers they had prepared beforehand from their pockets, squatted down by the river, and began to pour the contents in.

While pouring the drink, he let out a lewd "hehehe" laugh, which echoed across the river and startled several water birds.

Based on Lu Ze's understanding of them after spending half a year with them, he knew all too well what these two rascals were plotting.

I reckon that once she gets back, Xing will soon send me a group photo of the entire train crew, all heavily pregnant.

Pam will probably be so angry that she'll chase Star all over the train with a broom.

Spark will first trick all the Fools in the Masked Tavern one by one.

And given her audacious nature, she'll probably try to get the Star Goddess pregnant too.

"Spark, do you think this river is really as magical as the books say?" Xing finished filling the water container, stood up, and a sly glint appeared in her golden eyes.

She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips as she said this, clearly she already had a complete prank plan in mind, she just needed a willing pioneer to help her test its effectiveness.

"Oh?! What, little gray hair, you want to try?" Spark shook the plastic bottle filled with river water in his hand, his wine-red eyes also flashing with a cunning light, his tone full of encouragement.

The two men, each holding a water bag and the other shaking a plastic bottle, stared at each other, neither willing to give in first.

Xing wasn't stupid. She originally wanted to trick Huohua into helping her try the effects of the river water; how could she possibly drink it herself?

She rolled her eyes and pulled the water pouch closer to her chest.

"Why don't you do it?"

"Little Grey, look at my little body, it's really uncomfortable for me to suddenly have such a big belly. You can't bear to see Sparkle in pain, right? Why don't you do it?"

Spark put on a pitiful and delicate look, with her twin ponytails drooping down in time, and one hand supporting her forehead as if she were about to fall.

Xing nodded expressionlessly: "How could you be so heartless?"

Just as the two fake besties were arguing and pushing each other away, Lu Ze silently appeared behind them and, with a swift left and right chop, accurately struck each of them on the back of the head.

"Ouch~"

Spark exaggeratedly covered her head and exclaimed in surprise, then turned around angrily.

Xing also covered the back of her head and turned her head angrily.

When the two turned around, their eyes met unintentionally. With just one glance, they immediately reached a consensus—wasn't there a ready-made test subject?

Why bother arguing about who drinks first?

Why not just force-feed him?

The two of them turned to Lu Ze at the same time and grinned at him.

Xing darted behind Lu Ze, locked him in place with her arms.

Spark unscrewed the cap of the plastic bottle, and, holding the bottle of Mother River water, pressed closer and closer to Lu Ze.

"Come on, little Lu, open your mouth! This is good stuff. Drink it and you'll experience the greatness of a mother's love!"

Lu Ze knew he was in deep trouble and struggled desperately, his arm veins bulging, but unfortunately, the gap between him and Xing in pure strength was too great.

As Spark's smiling face drew closer, and the water in the plastic bottle shimmered alluringly in the sunlight, he decisively shouted behind him.

"Great Sage, please come and save your master!"

"What's wrong?"

Two almost identical voices came from behind at the same time.

The three people who were making a ruckus stopped at the same time and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Two monkeys were standing on the riverbank, staring at each other.
