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

#1780 - Just because you are so beautiful, babe

Back in his chamber at Yellow Flower Monastery, Centipede Demon immediately retrieved his weapon, timing his attack on Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

The seven female demons watched, wanting to stop him but powerless, only hoping that the Immortal Sovereign had planned ahead.

Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang and the others waited in vain for the vegetarian meal. Sensing something was amiss with the tea, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

"悟空 Wukong, let's leave," Tang Sanzang said.

"Alright," Sun Wukong nodded. Sha Monk picked up the luggage, ready to depart.

Suddenly, Centipede Demon burst out, wielding a long sword, his previous smile replaced with a ferocious expression. "Want to run? No way!"

"You fiend, take my staff!" Sun Wukong shouted, charging forward with his Golden Cudgel.

Tang Sanzang intended to help, but Pigsy and Sha Monk stopped him, urging him to leave first.

Instantly, Centipede Demon and Sun Wukong clashed. Sword met cudgel, sparks flew, and their spiritual power collided, creating intense shockwaves.

They moved from the monastery directly into the air. Centipede Demon was also incredibly powerful, his long sword flashing with golden light, and vast power surged towards Sun Wukong like a tide.

Sun Wukong swung his Golden Cudgel, unleashing fierce attacks, smashing towards his opponent in constant battle.

Seeing this, Centipede Demon's face turned cold. "You didn't drink the tea!"

"Hmph, your little trick was seen through long ago," Sun Wukong sneered.

"Alright, junior sisters, go capture Tang Sanzang and the others!" Centipede Demon yelled.

Upon hearing this, the seven female demons' hearts stirred. They immediately agreed and rushed out of the monastery.

However, they weren't really going to capture Tang Sanzang, only pretending to chase after him.

Tang Sanzang naturally understood the seven female demons' intentions, knowing this might be the Immortal Sovereign's plan. He also pretended to flee, looking like a homeless dog.

In the sky, Centipede Demon was still fighting Sun Wukong.

They exchanged blows, neither able to overcome the other.

In desperation, Centipede Demon suddenly took off his shirt, revealing his body covered in eyes. Each eye emitted a dazzling golden light, blinding and causing Sun Wukong unbearable pain.

Realizing he had been careless, he quickly fled.

Centipede Demon laughed and headed towards the direction Tang Sanzang and the others had escaped.

On the way, he encountered the seven female demons. "Junior sisters, I've already chased away Sun Wukong. Where's Tang Sanzang?"

He asked with a smile, knowing that besides Sun Wukong, the others were just showy and couldn't escape his seven junior sisters.

However, under the spider demon's intentional direction, they shook their heads. "Sorry, senior brother, Tang Sanzang escaped."

"Escaped?" Centipede Demon was furious. The Tang Sanzang meat within his grasp had escaped! He roared at the seven, "Are you all useless?"

With that, he flew into the air, wanting to find Tang Sanzang's trail.

Faced with Centipede Demon's anger, the seven female demons were slightly dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything. They planned to return to Spider Cave first. Anyway, their mission was complete. Once this tribulation was over, they would do good deeds.

Blinded by Centipede Demon's demonic eyes, Sun Wukong instantly lost his sight. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, escaping along the river and avoiding being caught.

Soon, he was found by Tang Sanzang and the others.

"悟空 Wukong, what happened to you?" Tang Sanzang asked anxiously, seeing the bloodied eyes.

"It's nothing, Master. Centipede Demon's demonic eyes are extremely strange and cannot be fought head-on. He's probably looking for us now. We need to find a place to hide and wait for brother Chu Hao," Sun Wukong said seriously.

"Okay, let's hide first," Tang Sanzang nodded.

He didn't expect the monastery master to be so powerful, even his strongest disciple couldn't defeat him.

Fortunately, the seven spider demons had defected, otherwise, they would probably have been captured back to Yellow Flower Monastery.

In Heaven, Guanyin arrived before the Jade Emperor with the half-dead Dizang.

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, what happened to you?" The Jade Emperor asked, seeing their miserable state.

Guanyin endured the abdominal pain and said, "We were accidentally poisoned by a demon. Please, Heavenly Venerable, issue an edict to have Pleiades Star Officer detoxify us."

"Of course. Quickly go to Pleiades Star Officer's palace," the Jade Emperor nodded and told them the location of the palace.

Soon, Guanyin arrived at Pleiades Star Officer's palace with Dizang and found Pleiades Star Officer meditating inside.

"Greetings, Bodhisattva Guanyin," Pleiades Star Officer bowed to Guanyin.

"Star Officer, we have been poisoned by Centipede Demon. Please help us," Guanyin said.

However, Pleiades Star Officer said with some difficulty, "Bodhisattva Guanyin, Centipede Demon's poison is very terrible. I'm afraid I'm somewhat powerless."

"This is an edict from the Jade Emperor," Dizang said with all his strength.

Hearing that it was an edict from the Jade Emperor, Pleiades Star Officer changed his tune. "Bodhisattva Guanyin, I can indeed detoxify you, but I need time to develop an antidote."

Hearing this inconsistent statement, Guanyin immediately realized that the other party was fooling her. But Cihang Daoren was dead, so she could only find Pleiades Star Officer. She had to take out a Houtian treasure and ten thousand merits of divine water from her arms and said, "Star Officer, this is an emergency."

Pleiades Star Officer accepted it very readily, then pretended to ponder. "Then I'll try."

Saying that, he suddenly bent over, making a basketball posture, and then shaking his hands. He suddenly started dancing, and suddenly accompaniment sounded around him!

Are you detoxifying? You are committing a crime!

"Pleiades Star Officer, what are you doing?" Guanyin said angrily.

This was clearly mocking them. She couldn't bear it anymore. Even if she was poisoned, she had to punish the other party properly.

"So you, Pleiades Star Officer, dare to violate the Jade Emperor's edict, take bribes, and tease the Bodhisattva, right?"

At this moment, Chu Hao suddenly spoke and came to Pleiades Star Officer.

Pleiades Star Officer quickly begged for mercy: "Jail God, I'm confused. I'm willing to give you these bribes."

Saying that, he quickly handed over the bribes in his hand. However, Chu Hao said impartially: "These bribes will be confiscated. You are not only derelict in your duty but also teasing the Bodhisattva. I will take you to the Heavenly Prison for interrogation."

Saying that, he grabbed Pleiades Star Officer and was about to take him away.

This made Guanyin a little confused. If Pleiades Star Officer was arrested and judged, their poison would not be cured.

So she immediately said: "Jail God Chu Hao, this is not the case, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Is it a misunderstanding?" Chu Hao looked at Pleiades Star Officer.

"I confess my sins." Pleiades Star Officer's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
