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

#1671 - Gu Yang: I will sneak over to protect my brothers!

"What?! He really said that?!"

At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at the Nine-Headed Bug, her expression filled with coldness and gravity.

The Nine-Headed Bug's heart was filled with fear and helplessness. He had no choice. In order to complete the Demon Clan's mission, the Nine-Headed Bug had to bite the bullet and state the Demon Clan's conditions.

Although he knew that the Western Heaven would most likely not accept it, he still had to say it in the end.

After the Nine-Headed Bug stated the Demon Clan's conditions, he lay prostrate on the ground, his several heads drooping, looking very afraid.

Guanyin Bodhisattva gritted her teeth.

"This is outrageous! The Demon Clan's way of doing things is as heinous as that Hell God Chu Hao!"

If Chu Hao were here, he would definitely defend himself, saying that it was the Demon Clan's doing, and what did it have to do with him? Why involve the innocent?

Di Ting and Guanyin Bodhisattva exchanged a glance, and both slowly shook their heads.

Di Ting said in a clear voice:

"It's impossible for us to agree to so many things from the Demon Clan. At most, we can only offer half…"

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly covered Di Ting's mouth.

"One-quarter! No, one-tenth!"

The Nine-Headed Bug was stunned. Wow, is this how ruthless you are? A dragon-slaying saber?! Where does anyone do business like this?!

The Demon Clan asked me to say this, and I already thought it was incredible enough. Now you're cutting it down to one-tenth with one word. How am I supposed to go back and live?

"Um, isn't this a bit unfair? I mean, we're asking for help after all. I mean, should we give a little more, and not cut so much all at once…"

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva slapped him across the face, sending the Nine-Headed Bug flying.

"Just go and say what you're told! You have no right to bargain here!"

Although Guanyin Bodhisattva needed the Nine-Headed Bug to deliver the message, that was all. It didn't mean that Guanyin Bodhisattva needed to pay much attention to the Nine-Headed Bug's feelings.

Besides, even if you sold the Tathagata, you wouldn't be able to give them that much.

The Nine-Headed Bug also knew his situation well and could only retreat with a yes.

Then, with a very uneasy mood, the Nine-Headed Bug went to the Demon Clan and stated Guanyin Bodhisattva's conditions.

He was originally prepared for the worst, even thinking that he might be charged with dereliction of duty by Gu Yang and the Shadow Demon and killed.

However, after the Nine-Headed Bug finished speaking, he found that the Shadow Demon and Gu Yang in front of him did not react in any particularly unusual way.

In fact, the Shadow Demon only hesitated for a second before saying directly:

"Take it! Bring it over tomorrow, or the amount will be doubled!"

The Nine-Headed Bug was stunned. Good heavens, is this the negotiation skill between big shots?

One side makes an outrageous demand, and the other side executes the dragon-slaying saber immediately?

The Western Heaven and the Demon Clan were at a stalemate.

Finally, the Shadow Demon gave an answer:

"Have you heard of 'returning the jade intact to Zhao'?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Gu Yang's face showed a trace of worry.

Chu Hao chuckled inwardly. Of course, it meant giving everything to me, which would be for the good of the country and the people.

Of course, the Shadow Demon was currently acting very bravely, with a hint of tragic heroism like Jing Ke bidding farewell to his friends before assassinating the King of Qin.

"Let me go with that Great Buddha Relic and the Jisaiguo Relic. I will go to the Western Heaven and exchange them for all the magical treasures!"

Gu Yang was shocked when he heard this.

"Absolutely not! The Western Heaven is like a pack of wolves and tigers, with a cruel and ruthless nature. If you go, the Western Heaven might kill you after taking the treasures!

Wouldn't our Demon Clan lose a great general? No, absolutely not! Even if I were to take this risk, I can't let you enter this den of tigers!"

Gu Yang was full of loyalty and was unwilling to let the Shadow Demon bear such a huge crisis.

However, how could Chu Hao let go of such a good opportunity? The Western Heaven was giving away so many things for nothing. If I didn't go, who would obediently return everything?

Wouldn't Chu Hao's desperate efforts to get so many treasures from the Western Heaven be making wedding clothes for others?

Under the Shadow Demon's insistence, Gu Yang ultimately failed to persuade the Shadow Demon.

The Shadow Demon once again put on his armor and charged for the benefit of the Demon Clan!

Moreover, it was once again a desperate situation, and everyone knew that the Western Heaven was very likely to play dirty.

However, the Shadow Demon still went, resolutely, for the benefit of the Demon Clan, in order to fill his own pockets… cough cough, in order to turn the tide for the Demon Clan.

Looking at the Shadow Demon's departing figure, Gu Yang's eyes were filled with loneliness. When would he be able to be as resourceful and courageous as the Shadow Demon?

Now, his identity as the Grand Marshal was restricting him. He had already lost the original intention, the arrogance that could make everyone bow down before his sword!

Gu Yang sighed, and looking at the Shadow Demon's back, Gu Yang's eyes showed a trace of determination.

This time, I won't let you fight alone again.

Brother, to the ends of the earth, I will venture with you!

Brother, to the den of tigers and the pool of dragons, we will bear it together!

Gu Yang turned and left.

He didn't know that his sudden idea to secretly follow would allow him to witness a scene that he would never dare to imagine in his life!

Many times, accidents happen so quickly.

It's like just going home early from work and suddenly seeing Lao Wang in the closet, Lao Wang on the air conditioner's outdoor unit, and Lao Wang under the bed… That's a story to tell.

Of course, that's a story for later, so let's not mention it for now.

"General, please come in."

The Nine-Headed Bug respectfully welcomed the Shadow Demon into the place where the transaction with the Western Heaven would take place.

This was indeed a good place in terms of feng shui, right on the ruins of the Evil Dragon Clan, a truly open space.

There wasn't enough space here to hide three hundred ax-wielding assassins,

So there was no need to worry about being ambushed with a signal from a water glass.

Chu Hao glanced at the Nine-Headed Bug, but asked in confusion:

"Why choose this place? You need to know that in such a blatant place, if we are targeted by some scheming Hell God, we could be caught red-handed."

The Nine-Headed Bug chuckled.

"Don't worry, this place is the ruins of the Evil Dragon Clan, extremely hidden. That Hell God Chu Hao doesn't know about it, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare to come, so you can rest assured to trade.

The Western Heaven has also agreed today to only send Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there will be no third party to spoil the situation. Each side will exchange money for goods, and leave immediately after the exchange, without staying."

Chu Hao inwardly twitched his lips. You've made such thorough arrangements. How much do you hope that we can successfully trade? Even I myself don't particularly hope so!

But it doesn't matter, I'll get it all sooner or later.
