Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Chapter 227: What are they playing?



As Jiang Liu silently chanted in his heart, soon, a semi-transparent character panel appeared in front of him.

ID: Mysterious Woman (Alias) (Blue).

Gender: Female.

Profession: Demon Clan

Level: 70.

Equipment: White Bone Whip (Legendary Level)...

Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the character panel, and he quickly spotted the information he needed.

From this character panel, Jiang Liu naturally learned the identity of this woman.

Just like when Nezha arrived, because he changed his appearance, his name was also an alias, but his profession, level, and equipment could not be hidden.

Similarly, this woman must have used a transformation ability that makes it hard to discern her true face, yet her profession, character level, and equipment could not be concealed.

Level 70? That's not a low level!

Sun Wukong is at level 80, so he's at the peak of Taiyi True Immortal. So, what about level 70? It could be considered the peak of Heavenly Immortal, right? Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

Of course, being from the Demon Clan, it means she's a Demon Immortal.

This strength is also enough to make her renowned in the Heavenly Court, someone like one of the Four Heavenly Kings...

"So, is Lady White Bones herself visiting?!" Seeing the character level and especially equipment like the White Bone Whip, Jiang Liu understood the identity of this female demon.

After all, following the original plot in the novel, after the ordeal at Wuzhuang Temple, it was time for the three battles with Lady White Bones.

However, something seemed off about this situation, as it was getting dark. While he and his disciples were eating and playing Mahjong, why did Lady White Bones choose to knock on the door at night?

Of course, even though he felt the plot was a bit off, wasn't Lady White Bones delivering herself—a walking experience bounty—right to his door?

Although Jiang Liu was surprised, he was mostly pleased.

"Master!? Master, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about!?" As Jiang Liu pondered in surprise and delight, Lady White Bones noticed his thoughtful silence and couldn't help but inquire.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a bit distracted. Big sister, since you're hungry, please come in!" Regaining focus, Jiang Liu's face wore a warm smile as he invited Lady White Bones inside.

During the conversation, he directly led her towards the great hall.

"What a warm-hearted Little Monk..."

Following Jiang Liu, Lady White Bones watched his figure, her lips slightly curled with a smile, and unconsciously, she lightly licked her lips.

Being a woman, she naturally preferred young men. The old man and the young girls weren't really to Lady White Bones' taste. Given a choice, Jiang Liu was undoubtedly superior in her eyes.

A clean, handsome, exceedingly young, and kind monk such a fine example was rare for her even across many years.

This made Lady White Bones almost unable to resist raising her hand slowly, almost about to make a move...

However, upon directly entering the great hall with Jiang Liu, Lady White Bones instantly lowered her hand that had just been raised and a serious look flashed across her eyes.

A large table, and Sun Wukong and his two brothers each sat on one side.

Sun Wukong was bearable, just a short, thin monkey after all, but Zhu Bajie's appearance was very robust, over 2 meters tall with a pig's head and human body—clearly a demon creature.

Of course, the most striking was Sha Wujing, standing over 3 meters tall like a giant, his green-faced, ferocious appearance even more fearsome!

Looking at the few around the mahjong table, Lady White Bones inwardly grew cautious. It seemed, the Little Monk wasn't alone? Did he have a few ferocious-looking demon kinds by his side?

Even so, she wasn't in a rush to act; it was better to carefully ascertain the situation first.

"Ah! A demon! There's a demon here!" Despite her myriad thoughts, Lady White Bones reacted quickly, seeing Sun Wukong and the others, she displayed a frightened expression, fell to the ground, and started shouting loudly.

"Well done, that acting could win an Oscar!" If Jiang Liu hadn't earlier known her identity and level 70 via the character panel feature, he might have really been deceived by her.

This made Jiang Liu inwardly marvel at such acting prowess, no wonder the Tang Monk was deceived by her in the original Journey to the West, leading to discord among the disciples and even driving Sun Wukong away.

In terms of acting, Lady White Bones could indeed be considered the top actress in the world of Journey to the West!

"Don't be afraid, big sister, all three of them are my disciples. Although they look ugly, they are also people of the Buddhist Sect!"

Since Lady White Bones was playacting, Jiang Liu didn't rush into action; instead, he decided to watch and see what she was up to before speaking a few words of comfort.

"Oh, it was your disciple, you say? But she looks quite terrifying!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's comforting words, Lady White Bones's expression stabilized slightly as she whispered.

As she spoke, she slowly got up from the ground.

"Benefactor, it so happens that I have some leftover food from tonight, please help yourself!" Seeing Lady White Bones stand up, Jiang Liu brought out some of the leftover food from the evening, dished it into a bowl, and handed it to Lady White Bones, saying,

"Thank you, little master, you are really a good person! If it weren't for you, I might have had nowhere to go tonight and would have been carried off by a wild beast!"

As she took the bowl of food from Jiang Liu, Lady White Bones looked immensely grateful and said,

However, as she looked down at the bowl of food, Lady White Bones's expression faltered slightly, "What? There's fish, shrimp, and meat, this is the food of your Buddhist Sect!? Aren't you supposed to be vegetarians?"

"Amitabha, the Buddha keeps us in his heart though meat and wine pass through our intestines. We monks are different from others; we don't follow rules and precepts, only cultivating the spirit!"

Upon hearing Lady White Bones's comment, Jiang Liu quietly chanted a Buddhist scripture before responding.

"You can cultivate the spirit without observing the precepts? If that's really possible, then your Buddhist skills aren't modest, little master!" Hearing Jiang Liu's explanation, Lady White Bones looked at him skeptically.

"Oh? Big sister, you understand Buddhism as well!?" Lady White Bones's remark surprisingly made Jiang Liu look at her in astonishment.

It was hard to fathom—could the ferocious and ruthless White Bone Demon from the original plot also understand Buddhist teachings?

"Only a little, my late husband was obsessed with Buddhism; I was merely influenced by him," Lady White Bones nodded slightly; she didn't seem to want to elaborate on this topic and lowered her head to eat.

Seeing that Lady White Bones didn't want to talk, Jiang Liu didn't press her. Just then, Zhu Bajie called on Jiang Liu to come over to the table. Therefore, Jiang Liu excused himself and sat down by the Mahjong table on the other side of the hall.

"Master, who is this woman? Why did you invite her in!?" Sun Wukong, while playing Mahjong, quietly asked Jiang Liu.

"Indeed, master, we are after all people of the Buddhist Sect, inviting a woman in isn't quite proper!" Following Sun Wukong's words, Sha Wujing next to him nodded and murmured in agreement.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Sha makes a good point. Master, let me go convince her. If she really has nowhere to go, she can sleep in my room tonight!"

Seeing the young woman that Lady White Bones had transformed into, Zhu Bajie's eyes suddenly sparkled as he chuckled.

"Bajie, stop talking nonsense and draw your card!" Jiang Liu, annoyed, said to him.

Even though Zhu Bajie was much stronger than Lady White Bones, sometimes, mishaps could happen in the most unexpected places, let alone in bed.

Zhu Bajie was now on the same side as Sun Wukong, and Jiang Liu didn't want him to encounter any mishaps.

"Oh, alright!"

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, although Zhu Bajie felt somewhat reluctant, since the day Jiang Liu had revealed the true nature of their Journey to the West and even given him a Resurrection Scroll, Zhu Bajie had truly bonded with Jiang Liu.

Zhu Bajie would still listen to his master.

What exactly was Lady White Bones's scheme in coming here? Jiang Liu didn't currently know. Since she wanted to playact, Jiang Liu would just play along for now.

Therefore, as he and his disciples played Mahjong, they completely ignored her, letting her finish her meal first.

Never mind that Jiang Liu and his disciples were all playing Mahjong at the moment; Lady White Bones carefully observed them, particularly focusing her attention on Sha Wujing for a moment.

It couldn't be helped; of the people at the Mahjong table, Sha Wujiing had the largest build and seemed the strongest.

Her thoughts were complete in her mind, but her face remained impassive as Lady White Bones casually took a bite of her food.

"Huh?" After eating a piece of fish, Lady White Bones suddenly paused, looking at her bowl in surprise, finding the food incredibly delicious, far beyond what she had imagined.

The speed of her eating visibly increased.

Since the day Sun Wukong found chilies in the Demon Realm, spicy flavor had become an essential part of their meals these days. Moreover, with Jiang Liu's cooking skills, which were completely different from the predominant steaming and boiling methods of this era,

In Lady White Bones's view, this meal was a delicacy she had never experienced before.

"Delicious!" The speed of her eating increased even more, and Lady White Bones's eyes brightened.

Originally, Lady White Bones had only asked for some food as an excuse to enter; her real goal was still Jiang Liu, the tender and handsome Little Monk who was her true desire.

However, lost in a moment of distraction, by the time Lady White Bones remembered her original intent, she looked down to discover that she had already eaten all the food in her bowl.

Upon reflection, Lady White Bones didn't rush to wash the dishes; instead, she held onto her bowl, pretending she hadn't finished eating, and casually walked behind Jiang Liu.

What were these Little Monks playing at?
