Chapter 657
Just in an instant, Ao Lie felt as though he was placed on a chopping board, waiting for the vicious monkey to wield the knife, deciding how to peel the skin, draw the tendons, and cut the meat.
Terrifying!
So Ao Lie, very compliantly, took over the Flood Dragon's corpse and awkwardly began to play chef.
A Flood Dragon hotpot, enjoyed by a man, a monkey, and a dragon to their hearts' content.
Of course, the man enjoyed it thoroughly, the monkey found the flavor pleasing, and the poor dragon forced down the Flood Dragon meat with tears in its eyes, despite its Dragon Vein bloodline.
Pure Dragon Clan occasionally indulges themselves, eating some Demon Beasts with Dragon Vein bloodlines, but they would never eat a demon whose bloodline density had almost turned it into a dragon.
The Flood Dragon is one such being, though even after transforming into a dragon, it's still considered the bottom rung of the Pure Dragon Clan; yet, it's still part of the Pure Dragon Clan!
If not for the fact that he couldn't beat the vicious monkey and bald-headed monk, Ao Lie would definitely teach them a lesson!
No matter how Chen Sanzang and the monkey tormented Ao Lie, the Little White Dragon truly endured it.
This revealed a glimmer of its character to the man and the monkey, showing it had potential for conditioning.
After deliberately putting Ao Lie in his place once, the man, monkey, and dragon leisurely set off again.
From this day on, the naive Little White Dragon was enlightened, witnessing how a Drinking and Eating Monk turned into a Flower Monk.
It's just absurd!
Seriously, wherever they went, they slept around, either eating every Mountain Spirit and Demon or getting them so blissfully satisfied.
As time passed and experiences piled up, the pure Little White Dragon's mindset was also twisted.
When a dragon awakens its true nature, the man and dragon had a remarkable camaraderie,
As for the monkey, it continued to watch coldly from the sidelines, never joining in the villainy, but also helping them search for female demons.
As a result, the monkey became very relaxed, needing only to follow Chen Sanzang and enjoy a casual journey, while all the miscellaneous work was handled by the Little White Dragon.
This was quite comfortable, though every night he would inexplicably reminisce about his carefree days as the Monkey King on Huaguo Mountain.
Back then, he was worry-free, with the whole monkey troop under his command, and countless female monkeys showing him favor, bringing him endless joy.
Amidst the carefree days of the Westward Journey traveling group, Chen Sanzang and company finally arrived near Gao Village.
Chen Sanzang pondered whether to roast a little piglet in front of Zhu Ganglie's face for a taste.
Sun Wukong wondered how the beauties Lao Zhu had now wrecked compared to Chang'e from the Heavenly Palace.
The Little White Dragon speculated whether there were more beautiful female demons nearby; it turned out that following the right master truly led to indulgence and endless delights.
Gao Village wasn't big, and with a sweep of their Primordial Spirits, the trio thoroughly inspected the place.
The entire village was enveloped by a massive demon energy, yet there was a trace of Immortal Energy intertwined.
This was why, despite the density of nature's spiritual energy, no other demon dared to make a home here.
Because a Great Demon lived here, one with ties to the Heavenly Court that ordinary demons wouldn't dare to provoke.
"Old Chen, I'm going to meet a former friend from the Heavenly Court."
Sun Wukong casually remarked before disappearing with a somersault.
"Come on, such a big village; we can stock up on some rations and spices, and take a look at the situation of this village master."
Deciding whether to recruit Zhu Ganglie was a dilemma for Chen Sanzang; he considered whether to just stew the old pig.
After all, this guy was from the Heavenly Court, with ties to the Human Sect; it's highly likely that Zhu Ganglie was a registered disciple of Master Xuan Du.
Who allowed this fool to possess the Nine-toothed Iron Rake forged by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad and to have learned spells like the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations?
Without a solid background, even holding the Nine-toothed Iron Rake would be impossible for ordinary immortals, let alone mastering the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations.
It's essential to know that the Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations and Earthly Fiendish 72 Transformations are precious magical abilities that help Immortals and Buddhas evade the three disasters.
There are very few among the myriad Immortals and Buddhas with a complete inheritance of these two sets of spells and magical skills!
Moreover, those who receive such an inheritance usually achieve great things, like Erlang God and Sun Wukong.
Of course, Chen Sanzang has also acquired these two sets of spells and magical abilities, though through connections with Old Xi's network, granted by their powerful backer.
The Gao Village, with just a few dozen households, lived quite prosperously.
With shopping along the way and inquiries made, they also roughly figured out the situation here.
Several decades ago, Gao Village was under the control of Lu Erjie, a demon from Fuling Mountain Yunzhan Cave.
Fortunately, this Rabbit Spirit did not run amok but ensured optimal weather conditions, allowing Gao Village to reap bountiful harvests year after year.
The Gao Family, being the largest gentry in Gao Village, was specially supported by Lu Erjie to manage as the landlord of Gao Village.
However, about a decade ago, changes began to occur when a son-in-law arrived at the Gao Family—a Pig Demon!
According to local villagers, this Pig Demon first killed Lu Erjie, took control of Fuling Mountain Yunzhan Cave and accordingly seized Gao Village.
This Pig Demon did not perpetrate evil or torment the community, but he was quite lecherous, fancying the Gao Family's daughter, Gao Cuilan, and became the son-in-law.
Who wouldn't, with this demon being so powerful?
Mr. Gao naturally didn't dare to voice anger, instead swallowing his frustration and accepting this marriage, all the while causing Gao Cuilan, the beautiful lady, sorrow, for she wed an ugly Pig Demon.
Nevertheless, this Pig Demon had extensive mana and mastered the Wind and Rain Summoning Technique, ensuring prosperous weather for Gao Village and surrounding settlements.
