The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 155 Even Yama Can't Hold On

Seeing the lion spirit fall silent, the king anxiously urged, "Royal Preceptor, hurry and cast your spell! I don't care if he's a real bodhisattva or not; as long as he can give me a son, I will build a temple for him and offer sacrifices!"

The lion-like spirit looked troubled and said, "Your Majesty, this really won't do. If Mara takes the credit for it, I won't be able to face the Bodhisattva."

"Ugh!"

The king sighed heavily, then looked at the black chicken fertility pills that Jiang Feng had made with a troubled expression.

"Holy monk, won't your elixir poison someone?"

Jiang Feng said, "Didn't my second disciple just test the poison for you?"

The king observed Pigsy and, seeing that he looked perfectly normal and seemed to want to eat another one, felt relieved and said:

"In that case, I'll give this fertility pill a try."

Having said that, he resignedly put the fertility pill into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's actually quite delicious!"

Jiang Feng struggled as he said, "To ensure its deliciousness, I made a decision that went against our ancestors' wishes and put chicken essence in it."

The king swallowed the pills in two gulps and looked at him expectantly: "Is this all you need to do?"

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "That's right, you can go and have sex with your concubines in the harem tonight."

The king breathed a sigh of relief, then hastily dismissed his ministers and excitedly went to the harem.

The lion-like creature glanced at Jiang Feng with a cold smile and said provocatively, "How could a mere ordinary rice ball possibly give the king a son? Let's see how you'll cover up your lie in the future."

Jiang Feng roared, "Ordinary rice balls? These rice balls were made with rice cooked in a whole pot of chicken broth, and I carefully shaped them! You eunuch, how dare you question my cooking skills? You deserve to be without a penis!"

Lion Spirit:

You admitted it yourself, right?

Jiang Feng and the lion spirit exchanged a few insults and parted on bad terms. Jiang Feng then led Wukong and the others to the post station arranged by the king.

Seeing Jiang Feng's confident demeanor, Sun Wukong asked curiously, "Master, since that fertility pill is fake, how can you guarantee the king will successfully have a child?"

Jiang Feng said, "I secretly took the king's pulse in the royal carriage and found that there was nothing wrong with his health. It's impossible for all the concubines in the harem to be unable to have children. Someone must be behind this."

Sun Wukong said, "It really was that Grand Preceptor who did it! I, Old Sun, knew he wasn't a good person long ago!"

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. We'll find out if we sneak into the palace tonight and investigate."

Pigsy's eyes lit up as he said, "Master, I, Old Pig, can't stand the evil deeds of the offspring of wicked people. I'll go with you!"

Jiang Feng retorted, "You're the one who loves watching people reproduce, aren't you? You stay put at the post station, and Wujing, keep an eye on him and don't let him run around!"

Sha Wujing's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at Zhu Bajie: "Master, don't worry, I'm an expert at watching people. Back when I was the Curtain-Rolling General, even the Jade Emperor couldn't escape my gaze for a moment!"

Bajie glared at him angrily: "You deserve to be banished to the mortal realm by the Jade Emperor. Were you protecting the Jade Emperor or spying on him?"

"Of course it's for protection," Sha Wujing asked, puzzled. "Who in the Three Realms would dare to monitor the Jade Emperor?"

Bajie, speechless, flicked his sleeve and said, "Go look in the mirror yourself!" Then he lay down on the bed and immediately started snoring.

Night fell.

Jiang Feng and Sun Wukong finished packing and transformed into two owls, flying into the palace and quickly finding their former bedchamber.

The king was in the prime of his life, and through the window, he could faintly hear playful sounds coming from inside; it sounded like he was playing games with the queen.

Jiang Feng listened for a while, then yawned out of boredom. Then he saw a furtive figure peek out, blow a breath that froze the two guards at the door, and then crouch down under the window.

Immediately afterwards, the figure poked a hole in the window paper with its finger and blew a breath into the room. The king and queen's playful voices immediately stopped, and the room instantly became quiet.

"Wukong, capture him!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong transformed back into his true form and roared, "Take this from my old Sun's staff!"

The man was startled. When he saw Sun Wukong swinging his golden cudgel at him, he used a trick to create a puff of white smoke that rose from the spot, and then used the smoke to escape.

"Hey, he got away!"

Sun Wukong angrily slammed his staff on the ground, then noticed a sachet left on the ground.

He picked up the sachet and came to Jiang Feng's side: "Master, this was left by that person."

Jiang Feng picked up the sachet and glanced at it. He saw that it was embroidered with a woman holding a chubby baby in her arms. He said, "It's embroidered with the Goddess of Fertility. This might just be the one who caused this."

Sun Wukong asked in confusion, "The Goddess of Fertility is meant to grant children to people, so why would she commit the evil deed of cutting off people's offspring?"

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and said, "We'll know if we go in and ask the king."

With that, the two pushed open the door and entered the bedchamber, then woke up the sleeping king.

The king groggily awoke and was startled upon seeing Sun Wukong's hairy face. He hurriedly cried out, "Protect the king!"

Jiang Feng quickly said, "Your Majesty, don't be alarmed, we've come to rescue you." He then recounted what had just happened to him.

The king listened in a daze, filled with doubt, and said, "Does the holy monk mean that I have offended the Goddess of Fertility? That's impossible. I've never seen the Goddess of Fertility, nor have I ever been to her temple—"

Jiang Feng said, "Think about it carefully again. Have you offended any monks, Taoists, beggars, old women, or the like before?"

""

The king thought for a long time, then his pupils suddenly contracted and he said, "Last autumn, when I had just established my kingdom, I went hunting and encountered a crazy old woman!"

The old woman blocked my way, saying she wanted to have my child. Seeing she was acting crazy, I raised my hand and lashed her with a horsewhip!

Jiang Feng glanced at him helplessly: "It seems the case has been solved. Those immortals love to turn into crazy people and say nonsensical things—"

The king exclaimed in panic, "Holy monk, was that old woman I struck actually the Goddess of Fertility in disguise? What should we do?!"

Jiang Feng said, "First, find the person who drugged you and question them. Isn't your Grand Tutor supposed to be all-powerful? Order him to bring that person here. If he can't, take him to the castration room and castrate him again!"

The king was taken aback: "Didn't the royal advisor get properly castrated last time?"

Jiang Feng grinned sinisterly, "I have a magic pill here given to me by Erlang Shen. As long as a person doesn't die, they can be restored to their original state after taking it. I can make him grow back first, and then castrate him again!"

"ah??!!"

The king's hair stood on end, and his voice trembled as he said, "Holy Monk, how about I issue you the travel document first? I have no intention of making things difficult for you; it would be better if a misunderstanding occurred!"

It wasn't that he was cowardly; it was just that this holy monk was too ruthless. Even the King of Hell would probably have to tattoo this holy monk's name on his back.

It has to be a tattoo with closed eyes, because the King of Hell with open eyes might not be able to withstand it!
