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

#2202 - The domineering Jade Emperor

Within the Hall of Miraculous Mist, the Buddha, accompanied by Guanyin and other prominent figures from the Western Paradise, awaited the arrival of the Jade Emperor. The Buddha seemed quite impatient.

"Why hasn't the Jade Emperor arrived yet?"

The anger over the loss of his innate magical treasure, coupled with his anxious mood, made him feel as if each day was a year long.

"I have already reported to the Jade Emperor."

Taibai Jinxing replied to the Buddha.

"Hmph, I have come in person, yet you treat me with such negligence. This is truly outrageous."

The Buddha said to the surrounding celestial gods, seemingly venting his anger and unease.

Although the celestial gods were unwilling to have any direct conflict with the Buddha, they spoke disdainfully.

Just as the Buddha was about to make things difficult for the celestial gods, the Jade Emperor appeared.

The Jade Emperor glanced at the Buddha, secretly amused, as the Buddha's frustrated appearance was indeed quite comical.

"Buddha's arrival, I failed to greet you from afar, forgive my discourtesy."

The Jade Emperor said with feigned politeness.

"Jade Emperor, is Chu Hao in the Heavenly Court?"

The Buddha asked the Jade Emperor directly, unable to contain his impatience.

"The Prison God? Isn't he assisting Tang Sanzang and his disciples on their journey to the West? How could he be in the Heavenly Court?"

The Jade Emperor shook his head, feigning ignorance, and questioned the Buddha.

"That Chu Hao stole my innate magical treasure and has now disappeared without a trace. It is truly detestable."

The Buddha accused Chu Hao of his crime to the Jade Emperor.

"Chu Hao is the Three Realms Prison God of my Heavenly Court, in charge of punishments and rewards in the Three Realms. My Heavenly Court has a good understanding of Chu Hao's character.

He would never do anything unlawful or indecent. I suspect there may be some misunderstanding here. Does the Buddha have any evidence to support his claims?"

The Jade Emperor shook his head again, expressing disbelief in what the Buddha said, while glancing at the celestial gods of the Heavenly Court.

The celestial gods of the Heavenly Court also echoed the Jade Emperor, expressing their doubts about the Buddha's words.

"Buddha, the Prison God would never do such a thing. Do not wrongly accuse an innocent person."

"Buddha, if you say the Prison God stole your treasure, produce the evidence!"

"Buddha, could it be that you are listening to only one side and wrongly accusing the Prison God?"

Hearing what the Jade Emperor and the celestial gods said, the Buddha's face turned very ugly, because he had no evidence.

When Chu Hao took the Anathapindika's Garden, the Western Paradise was at war with the demons, and had no time to pay attention there.

And with Chu Hao's abilities, how could he allow anyone to see him doing such a thing, leaving any evidence for the Buddha?

Although the Buddha was certain that Chu Hao had taken the Anathapindika's Garden, it was all speculation, with no actual proof.

"I am certain that Chu Hao did it. I must capture Chu Hao and retrieve my innate magical treasure."

The Buddha could only answer in this way, bypassing the questions of the gods and the Jade Emperor.

"It seems the Buddha has no evidence, then this matter may be difficult to handle. Chu Hao is the Three Realms Prison God of my Heavenly Court, and it is only natural for him to come and go from the Heavenly Court.

Even if we take a step back, Buddha, you are the number one expert in the Three Realms, how could your innate magical treasure be stolen by Chu Hao?

Does Chu Hao have the ability to take things from the Buddha, or is the Buddha, the number one expert in the Three Realms, merely a figurehead?"

The Jade Emperor said to the Buddha, his words naturally laced with sarcasm.

The Buddha naturally heard the mockery in the Jade Emperor's words, and became even more angry.

"Jade Emperor, Chu Hao's actions are clearly provoking me, and we in the Western Paradise cannot tolerate it.

If Chu Hao is in the Heavenly Court, please hand him over, so as to avoid unnecessary conflict between our Western Paradise and the Heavenly Court.

If Chu Hao is not in the Heavenly Court, we will have to search for him. If he is really not here, we will naturally leave."

Hearing what the Buddha said, the Jade Emperor's face immediately showed anger, and he slammed his hand on the table, standing up.

"Buddha, your words clearly show that you do not respect my Heavenly Court, and think of us as some kind of place.

My Heavenly Court controls the Three Realms and is the dignity of the Three Realms. How can you search as you please?

If you dare to be presumptuous in my Heavenly Court, my Heavenly Court will never tolerate it, and the gods of my Heavenly Court will not allow anyone to bully them."

The Jade Emperor replied霸气 to the Buddha.

Along with the Jade Emperor's words, the faces of the celestial gods of the Heavenly Court changed one by one, and some even began to summon their weapons and magical treasures.

As long as the Jade Emperor gave an order, the celestial gods of the Heavenly Court would attack without hesitation, and the atmosphere in the entire Hall of Miraculous Mist was full of gunpowder.

Guanyin and other prominent figures from the Western Paradise, seeing this situation, could not help but whisper a reminder to the Buddha.

"Buddha, we just fought a battle with the demons, and the Buddha has also suffered some losses. It is not advisable to start a conflict at this time."

"The Heavenly Court has many people and a strong force. If we really fight, I am afraid we will not gain any advantage."

"Our goal is to find Chu Hao and retrieve the treasure. If we confront the Heavenly Court head-on, the situation will become even more difficult."

Hearing the persuasion of Guanyin and the prominent figures from the Western Paradise, the Buddha could not help but nod.

The Buddha was not a fool. It would be harmful and not beneficial to have a direct conflict with the Heavenly Court at this time, and he naturally knew it.

It was just that he was somewhat overwhelmed by anger, so he said such arrogant words to the Jade Emperor.

"Jade Emperor, do not be angry. I will definitely not let the matter of Chu Hao stealing my treasure rest.

Since Chu Hao is not in the Heavenly Court, then we will leave first."

The Buddha endured the anger in his heart and said to the Jade Emperor, and left with Guanyin and others from the Western Paradise after speaking.

Of course, although the Buddha left, he would not believe the Jade Emperor's words. He knew that Chu Hao was most likely within the Heavenly Court.

"Leave people behind to observe secretly. If you find Chu Hao's踪迹, report to me immediately."

The Buddha asked Guanyin to arrange for several Western Paradise experts to stay behind, secretly monitoring the Heavenly Court and searching for Chu Hao's踪迹.

He himself returned to Mount 灵山 first, after all, a major battle had just passed, and the Western Paradise still had a lot of affairs to deal with.

The Jade Emperor saw the Buddha leave in disgrace, and was naturally very得意. The Western Paradise was usually arrogant and invincible.

Now that the Jade Emperor had extinguished the Buddha's prestige in person, he naturally felt舒畅 and愉快 in his heart.

The Jade Emperor returned and continued to discuss the next plan with Chu Hao. The Buddha did not intend to give up on this matter, and Chu Hao's plan had only just begun.

"Jade Emperor, although the Buddha has left temporarily, he will definitely leave eyes behind to secretly monitor and observe my Heavenly Court.

Since the Buddha is like this, then we should use a trick to counter him. This time, we will definitely make the Buddha suffer, and make the Western Paradise cry until they have no tears left."

Chu Hao said to the Jade Emperor with a smile.

Hearing what Chu Hao said, the Jade Emperor knew that Chu Hao had already thought of the next plan, and could not help but哈哈一笑, asking Chu Hao to explain his plan.
