You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

"The question is: Who is this Xia Zhiming?"

"Silly dog! That's the Queen!"

……

-------------------------

At the same time, in the washing spring.

Xia Zhiming closed the gap, glanced at the two little girls lying on their backs dozing off in the hot spring, and then looked around.

Unlike the open-air hot springs you imagine, this Zhuo Guquan actually has a gate wall with only two doors for entry and exit.

The bathing pool is also very spacious, more than 50 feet wide and more than 10 feet long, which is larger than the average fish pond. The water is crystal clear and steaming. There is a pavilion in the center of the pool, connected by a stone bridge. The pavilion is equipped with stone tables and stone benches, and there is a gold-painted clothes hanger next to it.

He was hanging on the clothes rack in the middle of the pavilion at the moment. The position was perfect and the view was excellent. Unfortunately, Xiao Qingxin had its own catapult-type aircraft carrier deck, and Xiao Fox was slightly better, but it could barely be considered a ski-jump type, so there was really nothing to see.

Time passed, and half a minute went by in a blink of an eye. Just when Xia Zhiming was hesitating whether to wake up the two little girls, he heard the faint sound of women playing outside the door.

When he peeked outside through the door, he saw several girls walking together, picking flowers and grass, talking and laughing along the way, their clothes fluttering in the wind, all of them were beautiful women with graceful figures, rare in the world - they were the seven sisters of the Bai family!

Seeing so many "female fairies" coming, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment, and in a flash he transformed into a human form. He picked up the girls from the pool one by one, lifted their legs and shook them one by one, and finally took off the Taoist robes from the hanger and put them on them.

After finishing all this in a flash, Xia Zhiming looked at the confused little girl in his arms and said with a smile: "Bai Zhi and the others are here, so it's not convenient for me to stay here. Qingxin, you better take it easy. Don't fall into the Spider Cave before I come back."

Xiao Qingxin tilted her head: "But...where is Pansi Cave?"

"It's probably a place where a group of female demons live, specializing in sucking men's energy!"

The little fox timidly said, "Brother Zhiming, women also have essence, why do they only absorb men?"

"Huo Huo, you are the vixen. You should be more professional than me in this..."

Xiao Qingxin: "Puff~"

……

Chapter 237 Benefactor!

After arguing with the girls for a few words, Xia Zhiming didn't plan to stay in this "women's bathhouse" for long. He casually opened a gap and stepped in. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot, leaving the two girls staring at each other.

Before the two of them could have any more conversation, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Wei asked with a puzzled look: "Strange, why is the door bolted today? But you hung it last night, little sister?"

Bai Kou: "I'm not! I didn't do that! It's unfair, big sister!"

Bai Zhi: "Don't blame me, sister. I'll just climb over the wall and open it from the inside."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingxin realized something was wrong. She grabbed the little fox and quickly opened the door before Bai Zhi could climb over the wall. She looked up at the Bai sisters outside the door and said in a baby voice, "Don't be rude, it's me!"

Beside him, the little fox shrank timidly behind Qingxin and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the two little sisters coming out of the door, the Bai sisters looked at each other in surprise.

Finally, it was the eldest sister, Bai Wei, who reacted first. She squatted down and asked curiously, "Little Taoist priest, who are you from? Why are you in this deep mountain?"

"?"

Seeing that she didn't recognize her, Xiao Qingxin tilted her head and then remembered that the last time she saw them, she turned into a three-inch little man and sat on Zhiming's shoulder. She was indeed not very conspicuous.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingxin's eyes rolled. He put his hands on his hips, held his head high and said, "I am a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave! ... And you should call me Uncle Qingxin! We should have met in Yingchoujian over a hundred years ago."

Bai Kou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Those two extremely wealthy junior masters!"

Xiaoqing nodded in satisfaction: "Zhiming saw you guys were coming to take a shower, so he ran off somewhere."

Bai Wei also realized at this time. After taking a closer look, she felt that the person was indeed familiar. She hurriedly asked her sisters to walk with her and bowed. Then she asked curiously, "Junior Master, who is this person behind you?"

"This is my apprentice, Huo Huo."

Bai Shao poked her head out: "But she looks older than you, little master."

"Those are my disciples too!" Xiao Qingxin put her hands on her hips, turned to Huo Huo and said, "Take a look, these should all be your junior sisters."

The little fox cried in fear: "Ah! I... I... I am the senior sister?"

Xiao Qingxin nodded and said, "You entered the sect over three hundred years ago, and they should have been here over two hundred years. Huo Huo, you are indeed my senior sister."

The Bai sisters laughed secretly when they heard this: "Hello, Junior Sister!"

"Wow~ Hello..."

"Cuckoo~"

Although they were in front of their elders, Qingxin was still a little girl after all. After the Bai sisters had performed the necessary etiquette, they really couldn't be respectful at this moment, so they had to change the subject and asked the two little ones why they came.

The two little girls answered truthfully, talking about nothing more than the fairies in the sky taking a bath, which made the other girls laugh secretly.

Let’s skip the private conversations between the women and talk about Xia Zhiming.

After coming out of the Zhuo Gu Spring, Xia Zhiming hid in the gap and took a look at the monkey.

The three masters and apprentices were diligent and had been on their way early in the morning. However, the process was really boring. Xia Zhiming looked away after watching for a while, pinching his chin and wondering where to go to play for a while.

The first person that comes to mind is Yang Chan. This little sister has a really sweet mouth, but unfortunately she is very mischievous. If she runs over, who knows who might tease whom. Let's skip this for now.

The next person that comes to mind is Yang Jian. There’s nothing wrong with his personality, but unfortunately he’s a bit introverted and lacks some fun, so this one is also ruled out.

I don't want to go to the demon saints' place, because if I go there I will definitely be forced to drink.

As for Nezha, let’s not even mention him. The poor kid was battling wits and courage with his father all day long. In the past, he was easily pulled back by Yin to take care of the child, which was really unbearable.

After thinking about all his acquaintances one by one, Xia Zhiming couldn't think of a good place to go for a while. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to follow the monkey's example and visit the Dragon Palace, so that he could listen to some little songs to kill time.

With a thought, he cast a water-avoidance spell on himself, and the gap in front of him opened up, and he appeared outside the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.

Before he had even landed, a gatekeeper Yaksha came rushing up to greet him. Seeing his graceful and elegant demeanor, he knew a powerful deity had arrived, and not daring to be rude, he quickly clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Excuse me, sir, what is your name, and what is your purpose? I will report to the king."

"No need to be so polite. I am Xia Zhiming, the guardian spirit officer of Lihentian."

Xia Zhiming waved his sleeves and smiled, "I've got nothing better to do, so I came to visit and ask the Dragon King for a cup of tea to while away the time. You can go and make the announcement."

The words were spoken casually, but the Yaksha did not dare to neglect them. He sighed inwardly at his own extraordinary eyesight and bowed again, saying, "Please wait a moment, Immortal. I will go and inform you right away."

After saying this, Yaksha went into the Dragon Palace to report and leave it unmentioned.

At the same time, in a palace deep in the Dragon Palace, a bead curtain blocked the bed in the palace, and one could vaguely see an old woman taking the pulse of a patient.

Outside the pearl curtain, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, had his hands behind his back, his heart filled with worry but his face showed no sign of it.

Beside the Dragon King, there was a young man who was looking forward to it, looking at the bed separated by a bead curtain with hope in his eyes, but when he saw him——

The jade face, silver eyes, bright eyes, delicate nose, upturned lips and rosy face.

He looks like a young prince of the Eastern Palace, and is a handsome young man.

She is wearing a brocade robe with bright flowers and a crown inlaid with jewels on her head.

It was not born to be in the pond, and its real name is Little Crocodile.

At that moment, the messenger Yaksha burst into the palace, disregarding protocol as he knelt and kowtowed, "Your Majesty! An immortal has arrived, claiming to be Xia Zhiming, the guardian spirit officer of Lihen Heaven. He wishes to ask Your Majesty for a cup of tea. I dare not delay in reporting this! I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

"My benefactor! My sister is saved!!!"

……

Ps: Appearance is determined by the mind.

Chapter 238: To poke the spine

"Well-timed! Well-timed!"

After hearing the report from the newcomer, Ao Run was overjoyed. He dismissed the Yaksha who had come to report and turned to the little crocodile beside him and said, "My dear nephew, please follow me. The newcomer is a powerful immortal. I will ask him to help save your mother's life. Please do not be rude."

The little crocodile was still young and had no idea what to do. But when his uncle said he had a solution, how could he not agree? He nodded in agreement.

After giving some instructions, the Dragon King then led the little crocodile out of the deep palace. Soon they walked out of the Crystal Palace and met Xia Zhiming, who was looking around. He bowed and said with a smile: "A distinguished guest has arrived. I am sorry that I did not come to greet you."

"you are welcome."

Xia Zhiming bowed in return and chuckled, "I'm bored today, so I decided to come over and sit down and listen to some music to pass the time. Dragon King, please don't chase me away when the time comes."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that he spoke so casually, the old Dragon King stopped being polite. He stroked his beard, laughed, and invited the man into the hall and took a seat.

Needless to say, he also called the dragon girl to serve him and summoned the pink shell and the clam monster to perform together. For a moment, the palace was filled with the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras, and colorful clothes and red sleeves fluttered in the wind. The scene was very luxurious.

After dismissing the dragon girl who came to serve him, Xia Zhiming glanced at the dancers in the field and was surprised for a moment. He saw them:

Her figure is graceful and lightly brushes against the willows, and her slender waist is easy to hold while dancing under the neon lights.

A smile when looking back is full of charm, and the eyes are as soft as silk.

Her shoulders are half-exposed, revealing her plump flesh, and her white wrists are stretched out like melting snow.

The girl dances in light clothes, and the hibiscus is hidden in the swaying gauze skirt.

After watching for a while with his chin supported by a critical eye, Xia Zhiming's evaluation was: I don't know whether these dancers understand art, but they definitely understand men, anyway, better than the fairies in his own family.

Apart from anything else, the lively and elastic texture of the dance is enough for them to ponder for years, and they may not even get it.

While he was enjoying it, the Dragon King beside him also prepared the tea. After thinking for a moment, he handed the teacup to his nephew who was standing obediently beside him without saying a word, and gave him a wink to ask him to come forward and serve the tea.

The little crocodile immediately understood and took the teacup and offered it to him, saying respectfully, "Please enjoy it, Immortal."

Xia Zhiming took it and looked at the slightly childish dragon in front of him. He turned around and said with a smile: "Dragon King, let's make a deal first: I have a little girl to take care of at home. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll see if I can help you right now. But if you ask me to take you in as a disciple, I really can't do it."

These two people were flirting with each other in front of him, and even if his mind was not on this, he could not hide it from him. Instead of waiting for them to hint at it, it would be better for him to speak frankly first.

As he expected, upon hearing him bring this up, the Dragon King blushed and said, "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. Xiaolong does have something to ask of you, and it is related to my nephew, but it is not about becoming my disciple."

Xia Zhiming nodded: "That's not bad. I'm most afraid of this. Tell me about it first and I'll see if I can help."

If the matter was simple, he wouldn't mind helping out. After all, it wasn't a bad thing to have a good relationship with the Four Dragon Kings.

Don't be fooled by their respectful behavior in front of him and the monkeys. Look at Nezha in the past, and the Eight Immortals and Bai Suzhen in the future. They all let the Dragon King play a supporting role like collecting stamps. The main reason is that if you are a god, it is difficult not to deal with them.

He controls the four seas, commands the aquatic creatures, and is the richest man in the world. Such a good villain template is simply unavoidable!

Back to the topic.

Seeing that Xia Zhiming was not making excuses, the little crocodile was the first to lose patience and immediately knelt down and said, "Please, Immortal, please save my mother's life. I will do my best to serve you from now on!"

"Don't be impatient yet."

Xia Zhiming raised his hand to help him up, shaking his head and saying, "Everything has its origins and consequences. You're so concerned that you're confused and can't explain it clearly. Even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't know where to start. It's better to let your uncle explain it."

After saying this, Xia Zhiming took a sip of his tea, and then he heard Ao Run sighing beside him: "This matter has to start from three years ago: Immortal, do you still remember that my son Xiao Bailong broke the heavenly law, and the Immortal asked for meritorious service for my son and me?"

"Of course I remember. Speaking of which, where is Ao Lieren?"

"Now he is the Dragon King of the Jing River outside Chang'an City in the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

"Is it okay?"

Xia Zhiming couldn't help but grumble, "He started out as the governor of the Eight Rivers with a criminal record. He really has a good father. Dragon King, aren't you afraid of being criticized and accused of nepotism?"

"Ahem! The Immortal is joking."

Ao Run's face flushed, and he quickly passed over the topic, saying, "Since the Immortal knows about this Eight Rivers Governor, does he also know the former Jinghe Dragon King?"

"I don't know him, but I was in Chang'an at that time."

"That's easy to explain." Ao Run pointed at the little crocodile beside him, stroking his beard and sighing, "He is my brother-in-law's youngest son, his real name is Lu Jie."

Xia Zhiming was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked up and down at the handsome young man beside him, wondering how this filial young man could turn into a demon in less than ten years. He couldn't help but advise: "Don't be like your father in the future."

The little crocodile smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Xiaolong understands. My father was unworthy of being a local official. He deserved it for being sent to the Dragon Execution Platform. It's just that my mother can't let it go..."

"What's up with her?"

"Longing has become a disease, and my mind is unstable, showing signs of weakness."

"I can't save you, goodbye!!!"

"Immortal!!!"

"Your mother doesn't want to live anymore. Even if the saint comes, he can't save her!"
