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

……

Chapter 226 No, no, no, it’s not as good as your teaching.

All in all, the days in Moyun Cave were quite happy.

However, after the little fox spent the Dragon Boat Festival with his father, the man and the snake had decided to part ways with each other, so he naturally said goodbye to the Long Live Fox King and set out on his journey home with the little fox.

It was early summer, and the morning sky was bright. Xiao Qingxin and the little fox rode the clouds westward, and soon they arrived outside the Sanxing Cave.

Looking at the ordinary blue bricks, white tiles and wooden doors in front of her, the little fox suddenly became nervous and hid behind Xiao Qingxin a little. Unfortunately, she was half a head taller than Xiao Qingxin, so she hid in vain.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming leaned over and said with a smile: "I'm not nervous even when I come here to be criticized, so why are you nervous?"

Beside him, Xiao Qingxin knocked on his head speechlessly, then turned and said, "Master has eyes that see the past and the future. I don't know how many times he has seen you. Don't be afraid."

The little fox tilted his head: "Really?"

Xia Zhiming: "Really? I might even have chatted with you in my dreams."

"Brother Zhiming, don't scare me..."

"Hey, you still don't believe it?" Xia Zhiming immediately poked his head out: "I'm going to play in your dream tonight."

Hearing his words, Qingxin glanced at him, casually pushed open the three-star cave door, and walked into the cave with the little fox.

Xia Zhiming's lies were just to fool the little fox. It's not that he thought he couldn't do it, but by the time night came, someone would be so happy that he would definitely forget about it.

Unfortunately, the little fox had no idea of ​​the twists and turns involved. He looked up at Xia Zhiming expectantly and asked, "Will Sister Qingxin come too?"

"That's a nice thought."

"Woo~"

While chatting, the two lolis passed by many pavilions and towers, and also met many disciples who had just finished their morning classes.

During this period, Xia Zhiming deliberately looked back several times, and the concluded turning back rate was 100%, without exception.

When the two lolis walked into the main hall together, Xia Zhiming saw Bodhi Patriarch sitting alone on the lotus platform, his bright eyes staring at him and he asked, "Where is Zhiming?"

Xia Zhiming leaned forward and asked, "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Go to the backyard and clean out two bedrooms. Don't be sneaky or anything."

"Master, is one room okay? I can actually hang it on a tree..."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, I'll be there right away!"

Seeing his master glaring at him again, Xia Zhiming immediately shrank his neck, and reluctantly fell from the girl's shoulder to the ground. He turned into a human and ran to the backyard.

In the main hall, seeing Xia Zhiming's rare loss, the two little girls blinked at each other, then looked at Patriarch Bodhi on the lotus platform. They saw that the Patriarch no longer had the serious look he had just had. He raised his head and called out with a smile: "Come here and let me see..."

"Master!"

"Master... Grandmaster..."

……

I have seen the touching meeting between master and disciple too many times, so I will not mention it here.

the other side--

In the backyard of Sanxing Cave, Xia Zhiming cleaned the bedroom and then leisurely lay back on Qingxin's bed. He took the glass cup from Qingxin and opened a gap.

The master asked him to clean the room simply because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense and cause trouble, so he found an excuse to get him away. Now that the work is done and he has nothing to do, he might as well watch the live broadcast of the journey to the West.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming casually opened the lid of the cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and looked leisurely to the other side of the gap.

In the picture, a monkey in a monk's robe was lying on the ground, being dragged away by a dog demon by biting its calf. Looking closely, I saw that the dog demon—

The slender body is as light as a flying arrow, and the heroic posture exudes divine power.

The bright eyes are like the devil's and the sharp teeth are like frost, which makes the ghost sad.

Chase shadows and wind to capture the Great Sage, ride on clouds and mist to fight the naughty rogues.

Summary: Roaring Sky Dog!

Puff! —Xia Zhiming's water spraying sound!

Ouch! —Sun Wukong screamed!

Looking at the miserable captured monkey in the picture, Xia Zhiming frowned and checked Yang Chan's position. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, casually opened a gap, and disappeared in the room...

At the same time, in the main hall of Sanxing Cave, Patriarch Bodhi and Xiao Qingxin looked up at the same time, one chuckled and shook his head, and the other sighed helplessly.

Noticing the sudden silence in the air around them, the little fox mustered up the courage to speak in a whisper as soft as a mosquito: "Sister Qingxin, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just that Zhiming just went out..."

"what!?"

……

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

On the top of an unknown mountain, Xia Zhiming, wearing a green Taoist robe, walked forward with his hands behind his back. He leisurely found a palace in the mountain, glanced at the three golden words "Han Ning Palace" shining on it, and knocked on the palace door casually.

Soon, a maid in colorful clothes came out of the palace. She was immediately surprised when she saw the immortal robes he was wearing. She bowed and said respectfully, "I don't know your immortal name. Please tell me your name and the reason for your visit so that I can inform you."

Xia Zhiming bowed and smiled, "I am Xia Zhiming, the guardian spirit officer of Lihen Heaven. I am secretly protecting the pilgrims on their pilgrimage by the Jade Emperor. Today, I suddenly noticed a demon with strange origins, so I came to seek the Holy Mother's help."

After all, he came alone, so even if most of his explanations were nonsense, he still had to give a convincing reason to avoid being criticized by people intentionally or unintentionally, which would ruin Yang Chan's reputation.

"Please wait a moment, Immortal."

After hearing this, the maid quickly bowed again, replied, and closed the palace gate again. She walked back to the palace with lotus steps and found Yang Chan who was practicing calligraphy in the study. She whispered, "Your Majesty, there is an immortal outside the cave who wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan put down her pen, her beautiful eyes flashing as she suppressed her anger. After taking a breath, she spoke, "I have no power or influence, few friends, and even distant relatives. I've only been in Qijue Mountain for three years, so how could there be so many immortals visiting me? No!"

The maid on the other side heard this, thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Xiniuhezhou is not as good as Nanzhanbuzhou. You are already the greatest immortal in the area."

"You... that's all. You have a point..."

"But, Madam, the one coming this time isn't one of those scheming ghosts and gods, but a spiritual official from heaven. He calls himself Xia Zhiming and says he's on behalf of... Madam, where are you going?"

"Next time you report, please state your surname first!"

Seeing that she still had the nerve to ask, Yang Chan walked over the desk, raised her eyebrows and said something in anger, then rolled up her sleeves and walked straight out of the palace.

After a while, when Xia Zhiming saw the palace gate open again, he saw Yang Chan leading several maids to greet them quickly, but he quickly froze in his place, tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Brother, where is your sister Qingxin?"

"Don't ask. If you ask, I'll just sneak out."

"Pfft~"

The girl smiled instantly, drawing the glances of the surrounding maids, but she paid him no mind. She went forward and invited him into the hall to take a seat, offering him more pastries. Then, with a twinkling look in her eyes, she said, "Brother, it's rare for you to come here. Is there something fun going on?"

Xia Zhiming took a sip from the glass cup, glanced at the maids around him who were openly listening to the gossip, shook his head and chuckled, "There's nothing funny, I just wanted to ask: where is your Roaring Sky Dog?"

"..."

"Why aren't you talking?"

"I...I tricked it from my second brother last time, and then I forgot to feed it from time to time, and it ran away after a few days..."

"As expected of you, who did you learn this skill of dropping the ball from?"

"It's all thanks to you, brother, for teaching me well."

"I'm warning you, don't wrongly accuse a good person. I'm super reliable!"

"~"

Chapter 227 There is a conscience, but not much

"So, brother, did you see the Sky-Howling Dog?"

Xia Zhiming said nothing when he heard this. He casually created a gap in front of the girl and then leisurely drank tea.

Seeing him like this, Yang Chan blinked her eyes, looked through the gap, and saw at a glance——

In an unknown cave, Xiaotian Dog was panting and staring at the three masters and apprentices in front of him with greed.

On the opposite side, Sun Wukong looked at the black dog in front of him, covering his thigh with his hands and looking doubtful about his life.

Beside him, Tang Sanzang was also a little dazed at this moment, and asked tentatively: "Wukong, how did you get captured too?"

Zhu Bajie also laughed and said, "Yeah, Brother Monkey, how come you were also captured?"

Hearing the two people's doubts, Sun Wukong's face flushed and he shouted, "I thought I had a body of steel, but when I saw that Roaring Sky Dog was biting my thigh, I thought I would let it take a bite. I just happened to catch it and send it back. I didn't expect its teeth to be so good. I accidentally suffered a great loss."

Tang Sanzang: "..."

Zhu Bajie: "Hehehe!"

"Idiot, what are you laughing at!" Sun Wukong heard his laughter and couldn't hold back his embarrassment. He reached out and pulled his ear upwards, shouting, "Now the three of us have been captured, and you still can laugh."

"Stop! Stop!"

Zhu Bajie quickly covered his ears and scolded, "I was counting on you to fetch Master Erlang and take this unleashed vicious dog away. I didn't expect you, this rascal, to be so arrogant and conceited that we've now reached a dead end for the third time, and you're blaming me!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang raised his hand and called out to the two enemies, helplessly asking, "Wukong, Bajie, this divine beast, Howling Sky Dog, is well known from ancient times. Why is it blocking our way today? We can't fight it, so what should we do?"

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

……

Seeing this, Yang Chan coughed lightly, looked at Xia Zhiming beside her awkwardly, and asked softly: "What should we do now?"

She had originally wanted to bring Xiaotian Dog with her and wait for the pilgrims to arrive at Qijue Mountain before causing trouble, but she didn't expect that Xiaotian Dog would go there by himself.

Hearing her question, Xia Zhiming snapped his fingers to close the gap. After a moment's thought, he said, "Don't worry about Roaring Sky Dog. That monkey ran to your brother when he was fine in the sky. They must know each other, so no one will be killed."

"Just pretend you don't know about this, distance yourself from it, and let your second brother take the blame. I think Yang Jian will be very happy with it."

At this point, Xia Zhiming plucked another strand of silver hair from his temple and handed it to Yang Chan, saying with a smile, "Howling Sky Dog isn't here right now, but I don't dare leave you here alone. Keep this strand of hair with you, lest you get hurt in a fit of rage."

Across from her, Yang Chan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. With a flick of her jade finger, she transformed it into a white snake, protecting it in front of her. After trying to tease it for a while, she saw that it was ignorant of its intelligence and only had instincts. Her interest was greatly reduced, and she scolded, "Brother, why don't you leave more time for your attention?"

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming sipped his tea cheerfully and said jokingly, "I know your little tricks, but don't expect to bother me with them."

Yang Chan's cultivation level is not as high as Gao Cuilan and the little fox. If there is any more sensation left in her hair, it is equivalent to having a private chat with her. He will have no peace in the future. Not to mention anything else, just calling her brother in the middle of the night will definitely make him lose his temper.

Hearing him say this, Yang Chan snorted softly, casually draped the white snake around her wrist, glanced at the curious maids in the palace, pointed to one at random, and chuckled, "Go to Guanjiangkou and tell them... well... tell them that Roaring Sky Dog is missing, and let Second Brother go find it himself."

"Goodbye, goodbye."

Xia Zhiming raised his hand and called to the palace maid who was about to leave, then stood up and said, "I can go by myself. It's a good opportunity to have lunch there. Do you want to go?"

"..."

Yang Chan hesitated for a moment, thinking back to how she had kidnapped Xiaotian Dog and then ignored him. She spoke awkwardly, "I...I won't go. Brother, please tell my second brother that when he brings Xiaotian Dog back, I'll definitely bring him some delicious food as an apology..."

Xia Zhiming raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "You still have some conscience, but it's a pity it's not much."

Next to him, Yang Chan became even more embarrassed after hearing this. She stood up and gently pushed him, blushing and urging him: "Go, go!"

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming said no more, casually bowed and said goodbye, then he opened a gap and stepped directly into it, leaving only one sentence -

"Following Yang Chan, I'll be hungry for nine meals in three days. Fortunately, I don't plan to eat at your house..."

Yang Chan stamped her feet: "Come back here!"

The maid covered her lips: "Puff~"

A burst of laughter echoed in the palace, causing Yang Chan to immediately shout angrily: "What are you laughing at? If I don't feed Xiaotian, can't you feed him for me?"

"But, my lady... Lord Roaring Sky Dog wouldn't even touch the food we gave him..."

"..."

Yang Chan was speechless after hearing this. She naturally knew Xiaotian Dog's temperament. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was blindly loyal. It was almost harder than climbing to the sky for outsiders to feed him.

Thinking of this, Yang Chan returned to the study after a little thought. She raised her eyes and glanced at the paintings she had done in her spare time. She looked left and right but felt unsatisfied. Finally, she found a piece of brocade from the bookcase, put down the ruler and picked up the brush to paint.

Soon, a new painting gradually took shape as the girl's brush stroked it. The painting depicted a starry night, the vast sea and sky, and a bright moon reflected in the shimmering water...

After finishing the painting, Yang Chan put down her brush with satisfaction, moved the ruler aside, and put the brocade into her arms. Then she walked out of the study and said to the maids who were secretly gossiping together in the palace, "I am going to the Heavenly Palace to find the Great Celestial Venerable and ask for some celestial food and delicacies for Xiaotian. You stay here to watch over the mansion. If any outsiders come to visit, please inform us truthfully."

After saying that, the girl ignored the maids' surprised glances and walked out of the palace, stepping on the clouds and soaring into the sky, leaving behind some palace maids looking at each other in bewilderment.
