Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Pigsy had no reason to disagree with such a small matter, so he scooped a bowlful for him.

Tang Sanzang gulped down the water and found it to be quite good. He nodded and said, "It is indeed sweet, unlike any other water. I wonder what kind of creation could produce such good water."

The river isn't very wide, only about 100 or 200 li (50-100 kilometers). There's a ferry crossing not far away, with some bamboo rafts moored on it.

“My disciples, let’s find a bamboo raft to cross the river.”

There were no boatmen at the ferry crossing, only an old woman managing the bamboo rafts.

"Grandpa, do you know how to use this bamboo raft?"

"Are you men?" The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Sanzang and his companions.

Pigsy laughed and said, "You're a really strange girl. What are we if not men?"

The old woman turned her head and saw a pig's head. She was startled and exclaimed, "What a huge pig's head! You, you, don't come any closer! I'm too old for meat!"

Tang Sanzang quickly came over to comfort him, saying, "Old benefactor, don't be afraid. These are my disciples. They are not monsters and do not eat people."

“Yes, yes, we don’t eat people.” Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie nodded in unison.

But Sha Wujing didn't do that; he ate people, of course, he used to eat people.

Pigsy said, "Although I, Old Pig, have a pig's head, I'm not scary. Look, I'm all white and plump."

“Yes, he’s a domesticated pig, not a wild boar. Don’t be afraid, old man.” Sun Wukong said, not forgetting to mock Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy said, "You wild monkey, you're never happy unless you insult me, old Pig, a few times a day."

Listening to these jokes and banter, the old woman wasn't so scared anymore.

After all, what kind of monsters are like them?

"May I ask where you gentlemen come from, and where you are going?"

Tang Sanzang straightened his cassock and monk's robes, and was about to give a serious introduction.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie whispered to each other, "Look, that old monk is at it again."

"This humble monk, Tang Sanzang, comes from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East. I am on the orders of the Tang Emperor to travel to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek Buddhist scriptures. I am passing through this place and would like to borrow a bamboo raft to cross this river."

"I see." The old woman nodded and said, "These bamboo rafts are still available. If you don't mind, you can take one of these rafts and go downstream to Daughter City."

Tang Sanzang asked curiously, "What kind of place is this Daughter City? Why is it named like that?"

The old woman said, "Daughter City is also called Daughter Kingdom because the entire country is inhabited by women. I am also a citizen of Daughter Kingdom."

Pigsy interjected, "Then isn't this river the Daughter River?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "This pig master is joking. This is the Mother-Child River."

"Mother-Child River, what a strange name. I wonder why it's called that?"

Tang Sanzang also had curiosity.

Chapter 1067 Pigsy's Taunt

Looking at Tang Sanzang, the old woman's smile never faded. "The reason why this Zimu River is called the Zimu River is because the women of our Western Liang Women's Kingdom can become pregnant as long as they drink the water from this river, hence the name Zimu River."

"I see." Tang Sanzang nodded. He had assumed that the Zimu River must have been blessed by Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, to have such effects.

I thought what my wife meant by "easy to conceive" was not that I would get pregnant just by drinking water.

They were completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the old woman thought that they were indeed people from the Celestial Empire, with broad knowledge and a calm demeanor even when faced with such a magical river as the Zimu River.

Then she untied the bamboo raft and let the people cross the river.

The bamboo raft drifted downstream and soon reached the center of the river.

Although it is said that drinking the water of the Zimu River can lead to pregnancy, the fetus needs to be nurtured, so Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie do not have many symptoms yet.

The water in the center of the Zimu River was even clearer. Pigsy savored the taste for a moment, then scooped up some water and drank a few more mouthfuls.

Tang Sanzang's mouth watered, and he scooped up some water to drink.

Sun Wukong's sixth sense was very accurate. He felt that drinking this water was not good, so he reminded him, "Master, Bajie, we still can't drink too much of this water."

"You monkey, you're made of stone, and you don't even drink water, yet you're trying to control me, old pig."

Tang Sanzang said, "Wukong, drinking some water won't hurt you."

The group chatted and spent the night on the bamboo raft.

When Tang Sanzang woke up early the next morning, he felt a little tired and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me today, I just feel weak all over."

Pigsy said weakly, "Master, I'm the same way, I don't know why."

Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he said, "Master, Pigsy, are you two perhaps sick?"

"How could that be?" Pigsy vehemently denied. "I, Old Pig, am already a Great Golden Immortal, how could I possibly get sick?"

"That's not necessarily true," Sha Wujing said. "Second Brother, have you forgotten about Lu Yue, the Heavenly Venerable of the Plague Department?"

"Neither I, Old Pig, nor my master have offended him. How could he possibly give me swine fever?" Pigsy argued logically.

Sun Wukong said, "Bajie, I, your old Sun, learned some medical skills back in the day. Otherwise, let me take your pulse?"

Pigsy looked disgusted. "Judging from your appearance, I can tell you're not very skilled. If you say that I, Old Pig, am pregnant, do you think I'll believe you?"

His words were somewhat sarcastic.

Sun Wukong got a little annoyed and grabbed his pig ear. "You idiot, if you say another word, I'll cut off your ear and use it as a snack with my wine."

"Let go, Brother Monkey, let go, it hurts!" Pigsy begged for mercy repeatedly.

Tang Sanzang came to the rescue, saying, "Wukong, then you take my pulse."

Sun Wukong skipped forward, "Master, give me your hand."

Tang Sanzang saw the hand extended, revealing the wrist.

Sun Wukong naturally placed his hand on Tang Sanzang's pulse.

The moment he touched Tang Seng's pulse, he felt it was throbbing and his expression changed instantly.

He looked up at Tang Sanzang, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He removed his hand from Tang Sanzang's pulse, then put it back on, repeating this three times, but the result was the same each time.

The pulse was clearer than could be.

"Could it be that I, Old Sun, am truly lacking in skill? But that doesn't make sense!"

"What's wrong?" Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong's expression, feeling slightly uneasy. "Wukong, tell me!"

Sun Wukong shook his head and said to Sha Wujing, "Junior Brother Sha, come and take a look. Is Master's pulse slippery?"

"Alright!" Since it concerned Tang Sanzang's health, Sha Wujing did not dare to be careless. He reached out and felt Tang Sanzang's pulse, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Elder Brother, Master's pulse is indeed slippery."

"Hmm?" Pigsy was knowledgeable. "A slippery pulse, isn't that a slippery pulse?" He laughed loudly, "You monkey, you really are a half-baked monk." Then he said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, that monkey said you're pregnant, hahaha!"

He laughed heartily as he spoke.

Tang Sanzang was somewhat embarrassed. "You fool, stop talking nonsense. Your master is a man, how could I get pregnant?"

Then he looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, how could you joke with your master like that?"

Sha Wujing said with a serious expression, "Master, Senior Brother is not joking. This disciple did indeed sense a slippery pulse in Master's pulse."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Tang Sanzang angrily pulled his hand back. "Wujing, you're teasing your master too."

“Brother Sha, you’re not behaving yourself either. You’ve been learning bad habits from Brother Monkey.” Pigsy lay half-reclined on the bamboo raft, leisurely. “Master and I are just feeling unwell. We’ll be fine in a bit.”

Tang Sanzang nodded and said, "I think so too."

Both of them are somewhat reluctant to seek medical help.

But the more Sun Wukong thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He said to Zhu Bajie, "Bajie, let me, your old Sun, take a look too."

"Here you go." Pigsy propped his head up with his right hand, half-lying on his side, and then stretched out his left hand to Monkey.

Sun Wukong placed his hand on Zhu Bajie's pulse, and the pulse was exactly the same as Tang Sanzang's, only stronger.

He refused to believe it and tried several more times, but the result was the same, of course.

Then, his expression became conflicted, and he became insecure.

He preferred to believe that he was not skilled enough rather than believe that the man could be pregnant.

Pigsy laughed at Tang Sanzang, "Master, it seems that I, Old Pig, am pregnant too."

Tang Sanzang found it amusing, saying, "You blockhead."

Sun Wukong ignored their banter and said to Sha Wujing, "Brother Sha, let me take your pulse too."

Sha Wujing readily agreed and extended his hand.

The result was a normal pulse, so he said, "Brother Sha, your pulse is normal." He then stretched out his hand, "You should also let me, Old Sun, take a look."

Sha Wujing placed his hand on Sun Wukong's pulse and nodded, saying, "Elder Brother, your pulse is normal too."

Pigsy's heart skipped a beat. He said to Monkey King and Sandy, "Brother Monkey, Brother Sandy, this joke has gone a bit too far. I, Old Pig, can also get angry."

Sha Wujing said, "Second Brother, Eldest Brother and I are no longer joking."

Tang Sanzang also sensed something was wrong. Recalling that he and Zhu Bajie had drunk the water from the Zimu River, and considering what the old woman had said, his face turned pale.

Pigsy quickly got up and came to Tang Sanzang, "Master, let me, this old pig, take a look."

Tang Sanzang immediately stretched out his hand.

Pigsy placed his hand on the pulse and indeed felt the pulsating sensation.

"Ah, this!" His expression was equally incredulous, and his movements were exactly the same as Sun Wukong's before, repeating three times in a row.

"This is not normal, this is very abnormal." As he spoke, he placed his hand on his own pulse, which was also slipping and sliding.

Then he looked up at Sun Wukong, "Monkey, Brother Monkey!"

Sun Wukong comforted him, "Master, Bajie, don't worry, it's probably not pregnancy. There's no way a man could get pregnant."

“That’s right.” Sha Wujing nodded as well.

Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true, there's really no reason for a man to get pregnant."
