Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1431 - White Lotus Boy: Chu Hao and I are evenly matched

The atmosphere within the Great Thunderclap Temple was as if frozen, every Buddha's face filled with terror.

Only at this moment did they understand the Tathagata Buddha's misgivings; that Green Bull Demon didn't have the horn on his head!

That was the Green Bull Demon's innate magical treasure, an irreplaceable part of his body. Although everyone had seen it before and hadn't asked much, thinking back now, they realized that everything had shown signs long ago.

To think that even that one with the thick eyebrows and big eyes had betrayed the Western Heavens!

Long ago, the Green Bull Demon had already joined forces with Chu Hao. The reason he specifically requested that Nanwu Huizhuang Buddha go with him was to put a price on Nanwu Huizhuang Buddha; he was already one of the kidnappers!

The Buddhas' faces were filled with dismay.

"This is a major disaster! Not only did we fail to retrieve the Green Bull Demon, but we also sacrificed one of our top experts…"

"What should we do now?"

"Let's think of the best-case scenario; what if Huizhuang Buddha is already dead?"

The appearance of one voice often represents the silence of many others; everyone looked at White Lotus Child.

White Lotus Child, however, wore a displeased expression.

"What are you looking at? I've fought with that Hell God Chu Hao many times, and we're evenly matched, so I understand his nature very well. Huizhuang Buddha is probably gone."

The Buddhas looked at White Lotus Child with contempt and disgust, wishing they could rush over and beat him to a pulp.

At a certain moment, the Tathagata Buddha paused, then sighed.

"Although White Lotus Child is usually a bit foolish, perhaps he's right this time. The restriction on the Bodhi Mirror has been erased; I can no longer sense his existence."

"Now it seems that Nanwu Huizhuang Buddha really was sold out by the Green Bull Demon. However, he shouldn't betray the secrets of the Western Heavens. Let's hope he's alright."

"Alas…"

The Tathagata Buddha only felt incredibly depressed. He originally thought he had finally found a powerful expert to contend with, but now, good, he was directly taken away by Chu Hao, or even killed.

The Tathagata Buddha sighed.

Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it's not like he cares about one more debt, or one more louse. If he's dead, he's dead. Let's not worry about it.

If Nanwu Huizhuang Buddha knew that his leader had sentenced him to death without even looking at him, he probably wouldn't even want to seal himself up.

The Tathagata Buddha suddenly remembered something and was startled. He said to White Lotus Child:

"White Lotus Child, in recognition of your unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm towards the Western Heavens, and because you are the only one in the Western Heavens who can repeatedly lose to that Hell God Chu Hao and still survive, I have an important task for you."

Upon hearing this, White Lotus Child's face revealed hesitation and embarrassment.

He knew very well that his 'evenly matched' meant being beaten by Chu Hao until his primordial spirit and physical body were split evenly. He was just saying that; why was the Tathagata being so polite?

"Tathagata Buddha, I that…" White Lotus Child still wanted to find an excuse.

However, the Tathagata Buddha didn't give White Lotus Child any chance, only saying coldly:

"You will now go and inform Peacock King, that the Green Bull Demon has betrayed us, and that Peacock King must not be deceived, especially regarding guarding the treasure in the Mother-Child River, and must not let Chu Hao obtain it."

The treasure within that Mother-Child River is a powerful magical artifact that can allow creatures to reproduce asexually. If used well, it could definitely elevate the strength of a powerful race to the next level.

Imagine if a low-reproduction rate race like the Dragon race, which rarely produces offspring in a thousand years, were to obtain that Mother-Child Flower, the Dragon race would become even more dangerous.

Of course, the Mother-Child River couldn't support the overall reproduction of such a high-level race as the Dragon race, but that doesn't mean it's useless to Chu Hao.

Heaven knows how many secrets Chu Hao has hidden.

The Tathagata Buddha deeply felt Chu Hao's terror, so he was extremely wary of Chu Hao.

White Lotus Child saw that the Tathagata Buddha was so determined, and could only nod in agreement.

"I respectfully obey the Buddha's decree; I will go now!"

The Tathagata Buddha was still uneasy, and added:

"Remember, you must convey the message to Peacock King. This matter is more important than anything else."

White Lotus Child nodded and turned to leave.

The Tathagata Buddha sighed. His decision to use White Lotus Child wasn't arbitrary. This time, he lost the Bodhi Mirror bestowed by the Sage, so he could only make White Lotus Child intervene in the Journey to the West to earn merit, so as to make up for the loss.

Of course, the Tathagata Buddha also knew that even if that person was crushed to pieces, he would still have a mouth that was as hard as iron.

However, the Tathagata Buddha also knew that White Lotus Child was loyal, at least he would strictly carry out the orders of the Western Heavens.

However, White Lotus Child was even more determined. This time, he must perform well and definitely make those who looked down on him look at him with new eyes!

Flames flickered in White Lotus Child's eyes, and he said firmly:

"This time, I, White Lotus Child, will definitely let everyone know that I, White Lotus Child, am the protagonist of the Western Heavens, the future of the Western Heavens!"

Just then, a mocking voice sounded.

"Well said, that's the kind of spirit you need."

The moment he heard this voice, White Lotus Child froze on the spot, his face filled with terror.

His body involuntarily began to tremble; White Lotus Child had a muscular memory of fear for this voice!

He stiffly turned his head, only to see Chu Hao standing behind him with a smile that was not a smile, looking at him very casually.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to cause you trouble."

Behind Chu Hao was the Green Bull Demon, who was already wearing the horn and was smug.

Although Chu Hao had returned the horn last time, he ultimately did not give the Green Bull Demon freedom, and proposed to the Green Bull Demon that as long as he did one more thing for Chu Hao, he could let him go back.

At first, the Green Bull Demon refused, saying righteously that he would no longer be an undercover agent.

But obviously, the Green Bull Demon couldn't resist Chu Hao's lewd power for too long, and agreed that this was the last time.

People… no, cows, are perhaps such realistic animals.

And Chu Hao didn't know what the Western Heavens was planning, but Chu Hao wisely brought the Green Bull Demon, hiding outside Mount Ling, just waiting for which young man would be ordered to play, so that he could intercept and kill him halfway, and naturally arrange everything clearly for the Western Heavens.

And everything was just as Chu Hao expected, White Lotus Child took the decree and went to the human world, and was stopped by Chu Hao.

The Green Bull Demon's fear of Chu Hao deepened.

White Lotus Child looked at Chu Hao in horror, but still shouted stubbornly:

"You you you! Don't think I will tell you my Buddha's decree, you're dreaming!"

Chu Hao smiled slightly, smiling so easily.
