"Great Sage!" Yang Xue, with sharp eyes, spotted him and waved, shouting, "Great Sage, come and have a drink!"
"Great Sage." The rabbit spirit Xiaorou, the cat spirit, and the two tiger spirits named Dahu and Erhu, who had just been given names, and were originally drinking merrily, slipped away in a flash.
"Why are they acting like mice seeing a cat? They're all so afraid of you." Yang Xue was slightly tipsy and wasn't as scared of Sun Wukong as before. "Great Sage, have you eaten well? I still have some meat. Do you want some?"
"As the saying goes, 'Wine and meat may pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart.' It's okay to eat a bit." Saying this, she held out a big drumstick to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong didn't take it. Instead, he poured himself a bowl of wine and slowly drank it.
"According to Buddhist teachings, if we say that those who eat meat will be sent to the realm of animals, then how can carnivores survive? Wouldn't they be forever trapped in the endless hell and never be able to reincarnate? The so - called reincarnation you speak of is a hoax. I'd rather seize the day and live in the present."
After drinking, she talked more and her smile became much more sincere.
Sun Wukong sat opposite her. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "How about you go to my Mountain of Flower and Fruit? It'll be safer there."
He had secretly gone back and seen that the monkeys still remembered him and were waiting for him to return as the king of the mountain.
For Miss Bai, going there to take shelter might help her avoid a disaster.
"Ah?" Yang Xue was stunned and looked at Sun Wukong in surprise.
Was he joking?
Even in her drunken haze, she could see that Sun Wukong looked sad. His earnest eyes met hers. Was he worried about her?
"Go there to take shelter and practice whole - heartedly. By the time they've forgotten about you, your Taoist skills will have improved greatly. Then they'll turn a blind eye and let you go." Sun Wukong uncomfortably turned his head away. "Just consider it my thanks for your warm hospitality."
Yang Xue happily moved closer to him. "Great Sage, are you concerned about me?"
"Stay away from this Great Sage!" He showed a disgusted look and leaned back. "This time it's been a bit too smooth. We won't be in danger, but you might be."
"I understand. Thank you, Great Sage, for your concern. But the Mountain of Flower and Fruit isn't safe either. I have to go to the human world." Yang Xue patted a yellowed notebook on the table. Vaguely, the words "The Scripture of Immortality" could be seen.
"I have a great thing. If I practice according to the instructions in it, I'll soon be able to dominate the Three Realms." She had carefully read this secret manual and only then realized that the previous White Bone Spirit was not very literate and had even made mistakes.
Otherwise, the White Bone Spirit today would be no worse than Sun Wukong.
The name of "The Scripture of Immortality" might be a bit vulgar, but she had just taken a quick look at it. Just by circulating her qi once, she had already broken through to the early stage of Condensing the Soul.
At this speed, as long as she practiced hard and found a powerful master to guide her, she would surely be able to live longer.
"As you wish. This Great Sage just mentioned it casually. You can go wherever you like." Sun Wukong picked up the wine pot and walked out. "If you want to leave, do it quickly. You still have time to drink here."
"Great Sage is right. I'll leave now." Yang Xue was grateful. If she got drunk, she definitely couldn't leave tonight.
And after the Tang Monk and his disciples left tomorrow, she might face retaliation from those people.
It seemed that Sun Wukong was a sensible person. He must know the methods of those people.
"Great Sage, see you later." Yang Xue looked at Sun Wukong's back. Although he looked grumpy, at least he came to remind her.
"Forget it. We'll surely never meet again." After saying that, his back had disappeared from sight.
Yang Xue pouted. This was probably true.
And in a deserted place, Sun Wukong jumped around restlessly several times.
He thought to himself, this Great Sage rarely acts generously and invites someone to his own Mountain of Flower and Fruit, yet he's been rejected!
He just thought this little demon was pitiful. In the past, the demons he met were either evil or of bad character. This time, he met one with spiritual roots, yet she was also算计 by those old guys from the Western Heaven.
She cooked well, but just had bad luck.
Forget it. Why should this Great Sage worry?
Back in the day, this Great Sage was young and impetuous, rampaging through the Three Realms and causing havoc in Heaven. In the end, wasn't he still obediently doing odd jobs for others?
If she can't be a demon, it's not so bad to be an ordinary person in the next life.
That night, Sun Wukong sat on the mountaintop, drinking wine in the wind for the whole night.
After Yang Xue finished eating, she quickly packed her luggage and, taking a cat, a rabbit, and two tigers, left the mountain at night.
If she wanted to survive, she had to leave the White Tiger Ridge first.
After traveling non - stop for three days, flying and running, they finally stopped in a small town.
"Madam, where are we going?" Xiaorou followed behind Yang Xue. It was her first time traveling far away, and she was already exhausted.
"Don't call me madam. Call me sister." Yang Xue sat down at a small stall. "Let's rest first. Since we've been fine for the past two days, it at least means we're safe for the time being. We might as well find a small courtyard here to live in, practice while making money."
"Mad... Sister, the human world is so dangerous. Why don't we go to the mountains?" Xiaorou said timidly.
Although she had already transformed into a human form, in the past few days, she had met many people and even some bandits. She had seen the evils of the human world and suddenly didn't want to deal with people anymore.
"I'm a White Bone Spirit. I need to absorb the qi of humans to practice more effectively." Moreover, her soul was that of a mortal.
If she stayed in the mountains without the internet or electricity, she would go crazy. And if she couldn't eat delicious food or see the prosperity of the human world, she wouldn't be happy even if she was alive.
"What would you like to eat, honored guests?" The waiter walked over with a smile. There was a white towel on his shoulder, and his small face looked kind.
"I want to eat meat." Erhu swallowed his saliva. "They sell mutton soup."
"Then each of us will have a bowl of mutton soup and a pancake." Yang Xue jiggled her money bag. "We have to spend carefully. We'll eat better food after we make money later."
"Yes, madam."
"Good girl. Call me sister." Yang Xue rubbed Erhu's head. "Also, from now on, restrain yourselves. Don't drool at every small edible animal you see. If you meet a demon - catcher, I won't be able to protect you."
"Madam, no, sister, I... we want to go back to the White Tiger Ridge. The human world is too dangerous." Dahu lay on the table and sighed like a coward. He always felt that there were demon - catchers everywhere on the street.
"Sister won't stop you. If you want to go back, go." Xiaorou said angrily. "You're supposed to be a tiger, but you're not even as good as a rabbit."
"You... You have a high level of cultivation. You're at the early stage of transformation. We have to turn back into our original forms at night, or our cultivation will regress." Erhu said indignantly. "Otherwise, I would have eaten you long ago!"
"Brother Cat, you see. I told you they were a burden, but you didn't believe me." Xiaorou looked at the cat spirit pitifully for help. "They used to just do odd jobs. It's their fortune to be able to follow sister now."
"Okay, don't be angry. Xiaorou, be a good girl. The first bowl of mutton soup is for you." Yang Xue stroked her head.
"Dahu, Erhu, since you want to go back, go. You might be safe without me. After you go back, you can still be the kings of the mountain. It's indeed better than following me."
