Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 527: Bajie, do you want to eat roast suckling pig?

"A dragon? So, is it really the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden?"

Jiang Liu looked at the person before him, his face a mixture of shock and joy on the surface. However, after pulling up the character panel, he muttered to himself quietly as he viewed the information displayed.

This character panel, apart from the name that can be hidden and deceptive, the rest of the information is completely undecidable.

Even a Quasi-Saint cannot do it, let alone Bodhisattva Guanyin.

No matter how she used Gaoyang's hair as a medium to transform the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden into Gaoyang's appearance, aside from the name, all of the information displayed was that of the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden.

"Jiang Liu, is that you? I never expected we would meet again!" said the transformed Gaoyang, the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, looking at Jiang Liu with a similarly surprised and joyful expression.

If Jiang Liu hadn't already seen through her disguise, perhaps he really would have been fooled by her.

This acting skill, it seems not only is his own team quite good, but the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden's ability is also very commendable!

"It's me, Gaoyang, how did you come to be here? What is this?"

While the other party was acting, Jiang Liu was acting too. The two of them vied in a skillful display of acting, and Jiang Liu pointed at the large bird that had just been slain on the ground, inquiring so.

"Jiang Liu, I am under Bodhisattva Guanyin's guidance, meditating and cultivating by sitting in silence, and likewise, subduing demons and eliminating evil is also cultivation. Today, I am here to slay this evil demon! I did not expect to bump into you; it truly must be fate!"

Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Gaoyang explained with her eyes tenderly fixed on Jiang Liu.

Then, she opened her arms and embraced toward Jiang Liu.

"Wait…"

Seeing the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden with her arms extended towards him, Jiang Liu reflexively stepped back and called out to her.

If it had truly been Gaoyang, Jiang Liu would naturally have welcomed her embrace.

But now, this Gaoyang who was embracing him was a counterfeit, essentially the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, and Jiang Liu naturally did not want to embrace her.

"You? What's the matter with you?" Gaoyang's expression stiffened somewhat, hesitating as she looked at Jiang Liu, her face a bit somber as she said, "Have you changed your heart? Do you not love me anymore?"

…

Sun Wukong and the others stood far away, obviously not intending to be the third wheel.

But observing the situation between Jiang Liu and Gaoyang, they all exchanged glances and felt something was slightly amiss!

"Big brother, I remember back in the Liusha River, Master and Princess Gaoyang were very sweet together, but now, why has Master changed like this? He not only rejected those beautiful female demons but even Princess Gaoyang as well? Has he really become a monk? Is he going to adhere to strict religious discipline now?" Wujing, who was usually silent, was the first to speak, whispering to Sun Wukong.

"Ah!? Master is going to start adhering to strict religious discipline? Then? Then won't we have no meat to eat in the future? Hot-pot, roast skewers, all these? Are we not allowed to eat them anymore? And, will Master no longer teach me the techniques of wooing ladies?"

Hearing Wujing's words, Zhu Bajie was the first to object, his expression looking very displeased.

"This situation indeed is strange; something about this encounter between Master and Gaoyang feels off to me, Old Sun, but I can't quite place it!" Sun Wukong also frowned slightly, muttering quietly.

After pondering for a moment, he then shook his head and said, "Alright, let's all keep quiet and just watch, Master said, didn't he? After Gaoyang arrived, we should not interrupt, let Master handle it himself!"

"Right, that makes sense! We'll just watch!" Following Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie and Wujing beside him thought it over and also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Master had already alerted them earlier, no matter what, everyone should keep quiet now, and let everything be until Master and Princess Gaoyang are done talking.

If something really was amiss, they thought, Master would explain after speaking with her.

"Gaoyang, in such a public place, this embracing… what kind of propriety is this…" Jiang Liu said awkwardly, pointing to Sun Wukong and the others nearby.

Although until now, he didn't know what orders the Bodhisattva had given the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, nor the purpose of her seeking him out here, was he really to play along and pretend she was the true Gaoyang? Embracing and whispering sweet nothings?

Jiang Liu naturally was unwilling.

If the Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden, disguised as Gaoyang, wanted to sleep with him, was he supposed to just "go with the flow"?

"Alright, you make a good point," hearing Jiang Liu's words, Gaoyang also glanced at Sun Wukong and the others and seemed to think Jiang Liu's words made sense. Thus, she didn't press Jiang Liu to embrace her anymore and lowered her opened arms.

"Jiang Liu, I am out subduing demons and eliminating evil, and the Bodhisattva hasn't specified how long I must return. We rarely meet, let me accompany you for a few days?" Yet, after lowering her arms, Gaoyang continued with a tender look, fixing her eyes on Jiang Liu as she spoke.

"This…"

Hearing Gaoyang's words, Jiang Liu hesitated, wanting to refuse, but he truly had no reason to do so.

Moreover, he could refuse today, but without understanding Bodhisattva Guanyin's intentions, she would likely find other ways to approach him and achieve her goal next time, wouldn't she?

"There are a thousand days to be a thief, but who guards against a thief for a thousand days?"

Therefore, faced with Gaoyang's words, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, nodded, and immediately put on a very happy expression, saying, "That's great, we rarely meet, so you should stay here for a few more days!"

As soon as he finished speaking and noticed that it was getting late, Jiang Liu, who had already planned to cook, called out to Zhu Bajie and the others to get ready. Tonight, they would have hot pot.

It was freezing cold, so when Jiang Liu mentioned having hot pot, Zhu Bajie and the others were naturally thrilled, cheering loudly and getting everything ready with practiced ease.

Soon, the Eight Trigrams Hot-Clear Pot was set up and the ingredients were all prepared. Everyone gathered around the table, enjoying the spicy hot pot and drinking fine wine.

Since the cookware itself had the effect of enhancing the deliciousness of the food, the taste of this spicy hot pot was elevated.

Of course, because the Eight Trigrams Hot-Clear Pot had the effect of fostering heartfelt camaraderie, the atmosphere among Gaoyang, Jiang Liu, and the others became even more harmonious as they ate the hot pot.

Even as they reveled in the hot pot, Gaoyang felt somewhat guilty.

They were all friends and treated her sincerely, but she had come with orders from Bodhisattva Guanyin to deceive everyone, which made her feel extremely guilty.

Several times, she opened her mouth, wanting to confess everything to Jiang Liu.

But each time, as the words reached her lips, she would swallow them back down.

Soon, the hot pot meal was finished. Sha Wujing, as usual, washed the dishes and utensils, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

"Oy, Master, there are just a few rooms here in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, just enough for everyone to have one. Shouldn't you share a room with your wife tonight?"

After dinner, as night had fallen, Zhu Bajie, with a teasing and sleazy expression, said to Gaoyang.

To Zhu Bajie's suggestion, Gaoyang simply lowered her head without answering, but her face turned a deep shade of red.

Seeing Gaoyang's reaction, Zhu Bajie felt incredibly envious and jealous.

Master really has it good! Traveling westward, living it up!

Eating the best food in the world, staying in the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, enjoying sightseeing, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, and even engaging in a few rounds of Legends of the Three Kingdoms, life could not be more delightful.

And to top it off, having beautiful women share his bed at night...

These days on the Journey to the West were simply unbeatable.

Poor I, Old Pig, struggle to fall asleep alone every night...

Well, okay, every day passes in the blink of an eye since I've never really suffered from insomnia. But, it's not like the master, who has beautiful women to warm his bed at night.

More importantly, those beauties are always eager to help him warm his bed.

Why are people's lives so drastically different!?

Part of it was envy, another part was sleaziness, and yet another part was the rare opportunity to tease the master, so Zhu Bajie seized this rare chance to speak his mind.

However, with Princess Gaoyang's head lowered and her face blushing deeply, why wasn't the master saying anything?

Surprised, Zhu Bajie's gaze quickly shifted towards Jiang Liu, only to find his master staring back with a hint of coldness in his eyes, saying nothing.

"Er…" The look in his master's eyes made Zhu Bajie's sleazy smile instantly freeze.

Then, a foreboding feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Bajie," Jiang Liu coughed and fixed his gaze on Bajie, clearly aware of the dirty thoughts in his head, and said, "How about I make you a delicious meal tomorrow?"

"Uh, Master, what kind of delicious food?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhu Bajie initially rejoiced but then immediately sensed something off and timidly, cautiously asked.

"Braised pork feet, stir-fried pig's ears, marinated pig's head, pork ribs stewed with radish, and finally, how about a roasted suckling pig?"

"Bajie, why aren't you saying anything? Are you so happy that you're speechless?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the ingredients myself. I just happen to know a butcher who is doing quite well. He has everything, even enough to stew a big pot of pig's penises!"

"Hiss..."

Hearing Jiang Liu's last remark, Zhu Bajie involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air and reflexively clenched his legs, feeling a chill in his groin.

"Master, there's no need, I, Old Pig, am going vegetarian these days, I need to lose weight!"

"No, no, no, going vegetarian won't help you lose weight. Trust your master, you need to eat heartily to have the energy to lose weight! And eat more pork!"

"Master, I was wrong..."
