Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 570: Dad Hits Child

The Demon Infant next to her, although just born, had an expression on her face that completely mismatched her age.

Her eyes carried a hint of coldness as she stared at Jiang Liu. Seeing Jiang Liu turn to meet her gaze, the corners of the Demon Infant's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a cold sneer.

"You've come?"

Even though she was just a newborn, due to her inherent spiritual wisdom, the Demon Infant had actually begun to speak—a hoarse and sharp voice, indescribably eerie and terrifying, she directly addressed Jiang Liu.

"I have come," Jiang Liu nodded slightly.

Originally, this Demon Infant had been conceived in her own womb, but she had aborted it herself.

Jiang Liu was well aware that although she had possessed the child and even killed the King of the Women's Kingdom, the one she hated most was undoubtedly herself. Therefore, she had been surely waiting for her own arrival.

"So, have you come to kill me?" Without a trace of fear in her eyes, the Demon Infant wore a cold smile and a hint of madness as she spoke to Jiang Liu.

Facing the words of the Demon Infant, Jiang Liu responded with silence.

Truth be told, Jiang Liu really hadn't figured out yet how to deal with the Demon Infant; her mind felt like a mess.

"Come on, why act like a soft-hearted fool now? When you killed me, you didn't hesitate at all!"

"It's not the first time you've attacked me, so why this pretense of righteousness now?"

"If you don't kill me, sooner or later, I will kill you and everyone close to you!"

...

The sharp and hoarse voice of the Demon Infant roared loudly.

As she screamed, a terrifying malice emanated from her, and her crazed yelling caused the few remaining palace maids in the delivery room to faint, their eyes rolling back.

Seeing the frenzied state of the Demon Infant, Jiang Liu slightly furrowed his brows.

Then, he lifted his hand and slapped the Demon Infant across the face.

For a newborn, this slap caused her entire face to turn red.

However, in Jiang Liu's eyes, it was apparent that the health bar above the Demon Infant's head hadn't decreased.

"You..."

With her delicate little hands covering her face, the frenzied shouting of the Demon Infant came to an abrupt halt, as she looked at Jiang Liu in disbelief.

"This slap is to teach you some manners. Remember your place. If you ever speak to me with that tone again, expect more than a slap!" Jiang Liu said, without a hint of pity for the child after slapping her.

"You bastard! You..." As Jiang Liu spoke and with his ruthless demeanor, the Demon Infant seemed ready to explode.

"Smack!" However, before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Liu followed with another slap.

"I, I will kill you, I will..."

"Smack!"

"Damn it, what right do you have to hit me? You..."

"Smack!"

"..."

Lying in the bed, the King of the Women's Kingdom, watching Jiang Liu treat the newly born so harshly, felt an immense heartache.

Whether or not the Demon Infant's soul was her child, at least its body was her flesh, a part of her own body, and it had just been born; how could he bear to strike it?

However, with her mouth agape, the words the King of the Women's Kingdom wanted to say couldn't make their way out.

She could see that although Jiang Liu appeared ruthless and spared no mercy while hitting, he had controlled his strength. After slapping the child numerous times, she still screamed energetically without any sign of injury.

Seeing that the Imperial Brother knew his limits, there was not much for her to say.

Jiang Liu's hand slightly raised, looking as though he might strike at any moment.

The Demon Infant glared with eyes full of murderous intent and malice, breathing heavily, a look of readiness to pounce in her gaze.

Yet, the mad shouts from her mouth could no longer be formed.

Smack!

Though the Demon Infant stopped talking, after a moment, Jiang Liu's hand still came down, slapping her on the cheek and causing it to swell up.

This might be the first newborn in history to have her face swollen by her own father.

"Why, why did you!?" Stunned by another slap, the Demon Infant burst with fury, feeling defiant.

She had been slapped after cursing him, which was understandable, but she had been silent just before, why then had he hit her?

"Sorry, but since I had raised my hand, not striking would be somewhat inappropriate. Also, don't look at me so fiercely!" Said Jiang Liu, observing the Demon Infant's surge of fury and her explosive demeanor.

With that remark, his hand was raised once again.

One could say he was frightened by the beatings, as he watched Jiang Liu's hand raise again, the demon infant reflexively lifted its own hand, covering its face.

With a slap, a crisp sound of a slap echoed.

This slap startled everyone.

Because Jiang Liu's slap did not land on the demon infant's face but, quite the opposite, he directly slapped his own face.

This slap obviously did not hold back at all—his face immediately bore a clear palm print, and even, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Xuanzang, why did you do that?" the Scorpion Demon asked, somewhat shocked, not understanding why he would do such a thing.

"Imperial Brother..." The King of Women's Kingdom also sat up from the bed and took out a silk handkerchief, wanting to wipe away the blood from the corner of Jiang Liu's mouth.

Covering his face and thinking he was about to receive another slap, the demon infant also widened its eyes, staring blankly at Jiang Liu.

"This slap is for myself, consider it an apology to you," Jiang Liu said, looking at the demon infant, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph..."

Hearing Jiang Liu's words and seeing the clear palm print on his face, the demon infant coldly snorted and then sneered, "A self-deception ruse, huh? You think this will trick me into forgiving you? Impossible!"

"You rest well, and I shall rest for a while too..." However, Jiang Liu did not respond to the demon infant's words but turned his head and said to the King of Women's Kingdom, who had gotten out of bed.

"Imperial Brother, I'm sorry, back then, I..." The King of Women's Kingdom, watching Jiang Liu approaching her, lowered her head slightly, appearing like a child who had done something wrong.

"Alright, don't say too much, let's rest well first!" However, Jiang Liu shook his head, stopping the King of Women's Kingdom from continuing her words.

"Hey, did you hear what I said? I will never forgive you, not in this lifetime!"

"I want to kill you, once I grow up, I'll kill you all!"

"Your self-deception ruse is too low level, it's completely useless on me!"

...

Seeing that Jiang Liu ignored him and only spoke to the King of Women's Kingdom beside him, the demon infant shouted loudly, yelling at Jiang Liu as if to attract his attention.

However, after slapping the demon infant a few times, and having slapped himself once, Jiang Liu no longer paid attention to the demon infant's howling and turned to leave the delivery room.

"You, what is this?"

Outside the delivery room, Ruyi True Immortal was waiting, and when he saw Jiang Liu emerge with blood at the corner of his mouth, he was stunned.

"No matter!" Waving his hand at Ruyi True Immortal, Jiang Liu spoke.

"Holy Monk, this is all my fault, I did not properly dissolve her resentment..." After a brief silence, Ruyi True Immortal spoke with some self-blame.

"Not at all, I am grateful for True Immortal's care these days!" Hearing Ruyi True Immortal's words, Jiang Liu shook his head.

What was the true nature of Ruyi True Immortal guarding the Abortion Spring? Of course, Jiang Liu knew, it's just that, having drunk the water from the Abortion Spring and after the abortion, his child would also enter Immortal Gathering Hermitage and be educated by Ruyi True Immortal, something Jiang Liu had not considered.

After all, there was absolutely no depiction of this in the original text.

"This child's resentment is heavy, I have cleansed the resentment of a few other children including Great Sage Sun's, but only this child, alas..." Ruyi True Immortal shook his head, his face showing a pensive and melancholic expression.

"Why?" Hearing Ruyi True Immortal's words, Jiang Liu looked at him with some surprise, not understanding why his child was somewhat special.

"Because, right after you had the abortion, the King of Women's Kingdom soon became pregnant with your child, so, perhaps that's why her resentment is so deep!" Ruyi True Immortal explained upon hearing Jiang Liu's question.

This explanation left Jiang Liu silent.

There was no denying that Ruyi True Immortal's explanation made sense.

Having just had an abortion and then immediately getting the King of Women's Kingdom pregnant, from the stance of the demon infant, it made sense that her resentment would greatly increase.

"Alas..."

However, thinking about the King of Women's Kingdom having a child, and that this child was also his, a deep sigh escaped from Jiang Liu's heart.

This, he was completely unaware of.

Back when the Scorpion Demon fed him the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill, he was consciously aware.

Unexpectedly, back then the King of Women's Kingdom actually...

Thinking about the real events that happened in the Scorpion Demon's den, Jiang Liu felt very strange in his heart.

Unfortunately, he had lost consciousness at the time, with not even a single memory of it, what a pity.

Wait, what am I thinking about now, at this time?

Shaking his head inwardly, Jiang Liu dispelled the cluttered thoughts in his mind.

After a brief pause, he then asked Ruyi True Immortal, "True Immortal, you are more knowledgeable about these matters, do you have any way to dissolve the resentment in this child?"

"Ordinary resentment can be cleansed with Taoist magic or Buddhist Law, but this child's resentment is extremely deep, difficult, difficult, difficult..."

Ruyi True Immortal's mouth repeated the word "difficult" three times.
