Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!
Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Serving the Leader [Please Favorite]

Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, Mu Zha, and the White Dragon Horse were collectively at a loss for words.

Dared to say a bodhisattva wasn't a threat...

Just let them go...

Was this a case of sheer boldness, or was their power so great that they could ignore a bodhisattva?

Gulp!

Mu Zha swallowed his saliva, his legs trembling as he looked at the bald man next to him, then at Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse.

Not even taking the Lingji Bodhisattva seriously, he, a mere Hui An Practitioner and lesser disciple of a bodhisattva, felt suddenly like a rabbit in a wolf's den... helpless, weak, pitiful...

The White Dragon Horse slapped Mu Zha on the shoulder and gave him a look that said, "Now you know why we didn't go with you, right? If we don't go, my master can hold us off for a while, but if we do, we're immediately ascending to heaven."

Only then did Mu Zha realize it wasn't that these three were particularly loyal, but that they were held hostage by this thieving baldy.

At that moment, Tang Sanzang turned his head to look at Mu Zha, curiously asking, "Wukong, who is this?"

Cold sweat instantly covered Mu Zha's forehead as he looked at Sun Wukong with eyes full of pleading.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Ah, he's a follower of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Hui An Practitioner, and the son of the Heavenly Tota King, Mu Zha."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zha's heart skipped a beat, genuinely fearing that the bald man in front of him might have a bad relationship with Guanyin Bodhisattva or, fearing his identity was exposed, might kill him to silence him.

Just as Mu Zha waved his hand nervously, Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, and he slapped Mu Zha on the shoulder, saying, "You are a man of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Mu Zha swallowed his saliva and nodded vigorously.

Tang Sanzang laughed heartily and said, "Great, when you go back, thank her for me. The monkey, dry food, and horse she prepared for me are all not bad. Consider it a favor I owe her."

Mu Zha was stunned for a moment, a monkey, dry food, and a horse? Why did these titles seem a little off?

Looking again at Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse, he suddenly understood and then looked at the three with a weird expression. Deep in his gaze, there was a mix of three parts sympathy and seven parts desire to laugh.

Sun Wukong sighed, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."

"Haha..." Mu Zha could no longer hold it in and burst into laughter.

Tang Sanzang stepped back and said, "Disciples, he's laughing at you. I'm not stirring things up, but if this were me, I'd definitely smack him."

Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse looked at each other, then rolled up their sleeves and yelled, "Smack him!"

Mu Zha yelled, "But you guys made me laugh!"

Sun Wukong shouted righteously, "Yeah, but I never said if you laughed, I wouldn't smack you!"

Mu Zha: "@@@#￥..."

That day, Mu Zha finally understood the saying, "He who is near vermilion gets stained red, and he who is near ink gets stained black!"

Clearly, after following the shameless bald man here, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Heavenly Marshal, and the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace had all been stained black...

In the end, Mu Zha didn't have the courage to pull out his jade token and confront this terrifying bald thief head-on.

Sun Wukong perhaps out of respect he had shown from the beginning, didn't expose everything, so Mu Zha had to accept this beating.

After the beating, Tang Sanzang leaned back and declared, "I've got it!"

This startled Mu Zha so much that his little heart nearly burst, and he asked in a crying tone, "Master, what did you think of?"

Tang Sanzang smiled conspiratorially and asked, "Hey, tell me honestly, are you also arranged by the bodhisattva? Every other time, people related to Guanyin Bodhisattva show up, it's either a monkey who's good entertainment, a pig that's good to eat, or at worst, a horse that can be ridden. You coming here, you must have been arranged for something too, right?

"This is the time to stop beating around the bush and just bring it out," he exclaimed.

Mu Zha was completely baffled. He was here to capture or kill someone, not to bring something!

Mu Zha cautiously said, "Great Emperor, if I say I don't have anything..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the bald man's face darkened, his eyes foreboding, his expression fierce, and his fists cracked loudly...

He fully utilized the art of physical expression to convey his mental state.

Mu Zha was so terrified that he dared not continue.

"Nothing? You were saying... don't worry, I'm very easy-going. Even if you don't bring anything, I won't say a thing," Tang Sanzang said, sounding as benign as a demon, speaking the gentlest words while sharpening the fastest knife.

Mu Zha internally screamed, "Who can tell me where this terrifying bald man came from? I've never heard of such a character in all the Three Realms?"

While lamenting, Mu Zha quickly racked his brain, pondering how to reply to the bald man.

Seeing that the bald man was losing patience, at the critical moment, Mu Zha glanced at Zhu Ganglie and suddenly got an idea. He shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! I brought something for you!"

The murderous aura on Tang Sanzang immediately disappeared, his face blossoming into a smile, and he warmly asked, "Oh, you really brought something? How embarrassing…"

As he spoke, his hands were already reaching out to receive it.

Seeing this shameless act, Mu Zha really wanted to slap him to death.

Clearing his throat, Mu Zha said, "It's not a thing, it's a person."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang immediately shook his head, "No need!"

Now it was Mu Zha's turn to be stunned; "No need? Why not?"

Tang Sanzang confidently declared, "I'm bored now, I have a monkey to entertain me, I can ride a horse when I walk, and I have pork to eat when I'm hungry. It's like one person eats enough for the whole family, and I can't afford to keep another person."

As soon as he said this, the faces of Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, the White Dragon Horse, and Mu Zha all darkened, cursing in their hearts, "Damn, who talks like that?"

Zhu Ganglie felt especially saddened, looking up to the sky and thought, "So, I've just been a spare ration this whole time!"

Fearing that the bald thief would ask for more, Mu Zha quickly came up with another idea, moving closer with a smile, "Although you have a mount, a pet, and dry food, you don't have a servant, do you? The journey to the west is a hundred thousand miles, long and full of mountains and forests. Someone will need to wash clothes, cook, massage, and give back rubs, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang seemed thoughtful, touching his bald head and said, "You make a good point."

Mu Zha said, "The person I've prepared for you has been serving high leaders for years. He's meticulous, dedicated, fits both hall and kitchen, leads horses, plays with monkeys, and even walks pigs and dogs. He's skilled in every aspect."

Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts: "Find a reason to beat him up again later!"

Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang, nodding his bald head repeatedly, said, "Really? Is this person that reliable?"

Mu Zha replied, "Absolutely, he used to serve the Great Emperor Jade himself."

Though a newcomer, Tang Sanzang had come to understand the distribution of power and authority in this world quite well from the stories of Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse.

After the battle for the divine throne, the Great Emperor Jade was commanded by the Three Pure Ones to take charge of the Three Realms. He was undoubtedly the top boss of the Three Realms, enjoying the most luxurious and finest things and treatments.

Anyone serving him must be outstanding.

Moreover, Tang Sanzang believed that someone who looked after such a major boss as the Great Emperor Jade must be graceful with tender skin, a top-notch beauty.

Thinking this, Tang Sanzang's mouth almost watered...
