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

#1824 - Garuda's attitude change

Faced with the Golden-Winged Great Peng's words, Tang Sanzang and the others remained silent, simply watching him.

This made the Golden-Winged Great Peng's heart sink. Seeing that no one was around, he secretly asked, "Is my acting not up to par?"

Zhu Bajie shook his head and said, "Your acting is okay, but you should at least call for some audience members. What's the point of performing for us?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing his mistake. Then, he turned and left.

"Brother Monkey, this Great Peng might have a problem here," Zhu Bajie said, pointing to his head.

"Never mind him. Later, you, idiot, will perform," Sun Wukong said, bored.

Zhu Bajie sighed and pouted, "Well, it's a good chance to stretch my muscles."

Soon, the Golden-Winged Great Peng returned with a group of subordinates. Then, in front of them, he repeated his words.

Zhu Bajie immediately retorted, "You fiend! Release us quickly, or you'll regret it!"

"Hmph, dream on," the Golden-Winged Great Peng sneered.

"If you don't release your Pig Grandfather, I'll flay you alive!"

"Are you tired of living?"

"Bullshit!"

"Courting death? I'll tear you to pieces!"

The two of them went back and forth, becoming increasingly agitated, and their language became more and more vulgar.

The surrounding demons were stunned, wondering how deep their hatred ran. Even if one had stolen the other's wife, it shouldn't be this bad.

They only stopped when their mouths were dry from arguing.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng gave Tang Sanzang and his disciples a look and then left.

Back in his cave, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was greeted by Guanyin and谛听 (Dìtīng).

Their appearance was concealed, so the surrounding demons didn't notice their presence.

After the Golden-Winged Great Peng dismissed the lesser demons, he bowed to Guanyin and said, "Great Guanyin, I am now the king of this Lion Camel Ridge. What should I do next?"

"We are here to inform you that the Western Paradise will attack you next. You must pretend to be defeated and then allow Tang Sanzang and his disciples to leave safely," Guanyin said slowly.

However, the Golden-Winged Great Peng disagreed with this. He said in a low voice, "Great Guanyin, I have done so much for the Western Paradise. Is there no benefit at all?"

As he said this, a strange light flickered in his hawk-like eyes.

"Great Peng, what do you mean?" Diting's face turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice.

"This king doesn't mean anything. I just want some benefits. Does the Western Paradise not even want to give me that?" The Golden-Winged Great Peng sat calmly on his throne, his eyes lowered, looking disdainful.

He was very serious when he said this, and he didn't sound like he was joking at all.

Clearly, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was threatening the Western Paradise, and he really had the ability to do so.

Guanyin's expression darkened as she listened to these words. Why did she feel that this behavior was somewhat familiar? It was as if this scene had happened before.

As for Diting next to her, he was furious and wanted to reprimand him.

However, Guanyin stopped him. She said to the Golden-Winged Great Peng, "Now you are the king of Lion Camel Ridge. The treasures accumulated in Lion Camel Ridge over the years all belong to you alone. Isn't that enough?"

"Great Guanyin, these treasures were gathered by our three brothers over endless years. They should belong to me, but I am helping the Western Paradise after all. I can't get nothing, right?" The Golden-Winged Great Peng said leisurely, looking fearless.

"Great Guanyin, this Great Peng is too much. He is so arrogant. Why not just capture him and take the opportunity to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples?" Diting transmitted his voice silently from the side.

However, Guanyin chose to refuse.

After all, besides the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were also there.

If she really attacked the Golden-Winged Great Peng, then Chu Hao would definitely get the news in the first time.

According to that guy's protective nature, there would probably be chaos again.

So, Guanyin looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng and said, "I will report this matter to the Buddha. What do you want?"

"Great Guanyin, it's not anything valuable. 100,000 merits of divine water is enough," the Golden-Winged Great Peng said.

Hearing the four words 'merits of divine water,' Guanyin's body shook.

She finally knew why she had a familiar feeling. Wasn't this the posture that Chu Hao would take every time he asked the Western Paradise for benefits?

Thinking of this, Guanyin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked at the Golden-Winged Great Peng, her eyes filled with meaning. She asked in a deep voice, "Did Chu Hao ask you to do this?"

The Golden-Winged Great Peng looked calm and shook his head. "If the Prison God knew that I was colluding with the Western Paradise, would he still leave me with combat power? Great Guanyin, you go and talk to the Buddha. If he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. Then I will have to return to the Heavenly Court."

Faced with the Golden-Winged Great Peng's threat, Guanyin didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

After she left, the Ancient Heavenly Eagles and others also appeared here.

"Not bad, Great Peng. Your acting is almost as good as the master's," the Ancient Heavenly Eagle walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Although the Golden-Winged Great Peng's strength might be stronger than everyone present, he had just joined the Law Enforcement Hall after all, so everyone treated him as a newcomer, speaking with the air of a senior.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng smiled and said, "Anyway, the Western Paradise has many treasures, but why does the master only want me to ask for 100,000 merits of divine water?"

It turned out that all of this was Chu Hao's plan.

Don't look at how he doesn't know where he is now, but he has already arranged the affairs of Lion Camel Ridge very properly.

"You don't know this. The master is afraid of stimulating the Western Paradise," the Ancient Heavenly Eagle explained.

He knew that Chu Hao had once extorted three million merits of divine water from the Western Paradise, and in the end, he angered the Tathagata to the point of violating the rules of the Three Realms and attacking him.

"The master is all-knowing and all-powerful. We only need to obey. I'm just a little worried about my two brothers," the Golden-Winged Great Peng said worriedly.

After all, he and Qing Lion and White Elephant had been friends for a long time, and their relationship was deep. If it weren't for the Western Paradise's scheme, they wouldn't have become enemies.

Now that Qing Lion and White Elephant had been defeated, although he had sent lesser demons to inquire about the news, he had gained nothing.

However, the Ancient Heavenly Eagle smiled and said, "Don't worry, the boss will definitely not let your brothers become enemies. You just need to deal with the pressure from the Western Paradise. Besides, we are here too."

"Then I will have to trouble everyone," Great Peng nodded.
