Sun Wukong frowned. "Click—" He instinctively ignored the monk in front of him. Taking a bite of a peach, he said to the system, "Little Red Master, the peaches in Flower Fruit Mountain have yielded well this year."
Hearing this, the system snapped back to attention. "Indeed," it nodded, and picked up a peach from the bamboo basket, taking a bite...
Tang Sanzang, who was being ignored, said nothing.
After a long silence, Tang Sanzang assumed his voice had been too quiet. He spoke again, loudly, "Amitabha! This poor monk comes from the Great Tang of the East..."
"Little Red Master! The weather is nice today! When will Master return?" Tang Sanzang was interrupted before he could finish.
Tang Sanzang...
Tang Sanzang's mouth twitched. After a long silence, he took two steps towards the monkey and the united entity. Reluctantly, he continued, "Benefactor, why are you suppressed here? Do you require this poor monk's assistance?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept around the surroundings, finally resting on a yellow banner on top of the Five Finger Mountain.
Seeing the monk's gaze, the system narrowed its eyes and secretly called out to Yin Qing in its mind...
This monk exuded demonic energy; he was clearly no good person. They couldn't let him save the monkey. Otherwise, what if he demanded favors and wanted the monkey to accompany him to the West?
At this moment, the unsuspecting Sun Wukong looked at the monk before him and asked, "Can you really let this old grandson out?"
The monk nodded and pointed to the yellow banner on the mountaintop. "There is a yellow banner on the summit of this mountain. It is likely that if you remove it, Benefactor, you will be able to get out."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong lowered the hand that could move, scratched his head, and met the monk's confident gaze. He raised his eyebrows, suddenly chuckled, and said casually, "But I don't want to go out right now, so I won't trouble you."
Tang Sanzang: ??? Wait! Isn't this plot wrong?
As he thought, a hint of dark energy flashed through Tang Sanzang's eyes. He said, "Did Benefactor speak incorrectly?"
It wasn't supposed to be like this! This damned monkey! Why wasn't he obediently following the script!
Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "No, I don't need you to save me. I have a Master! My Master is very powerful! If she returns, she will save me!"
Upon hearing this, the monk's eyes darkened, and the corner of his mouth curved into a deceptively charming arc. He said, "Benefactor, you jest. Allow this poor monk to release you."
With that, he started climbing the mountain.
However, before he could even climb two steps, he felt a transparent barrier appear before him, blocking him.
Just as the monk was bewildered, a clear and pleasant voice came from above, "My disciple, I will save him myself."
Hearing the familiar voice, the system and Sun Wukong simultaneously looked up. They saw a woman in purple, holding a golden lotus, descending from the sky.
Seeing the system, Ming Li thought for a moment and threw the golden lotus to it, saying, "Take it and incubate it."
...
The system looked at the golden lotus before it, completely bewildered. "What is this?"
Ming Li, with a calm expression, uttered two earth-shattering words: "Ru Lai."
The system: ！！？！ Did the Host Greatly deal with the Male Lead so quickly?
Snapping back to attention, the system instinctively scanned the golden lotus before it and saw a pale golden soul...
