"Disposed of?" Yang Xue raised her eyebrows. "How exactly?"
"How do you want them to be disposed of?" Just then, a figure suddenly landed steadily from above. With arms folded across the chest, the person stood right in front of Yang Xue.
"You..." Sun Wukong wore a look of nonchalant confidence on his face. But when he saw Yang Xue's outfit, he immediately turned around. "You're in disarray... Turn around!"
"Great Sage?" Mimi, seeing Sun Wukong suddenly appear in front of her, took a step back in fright and fled in a hurry. "I'll leave right away."
Yang Xue looked down at her clothes. There seemed to be nothing wrong with them.
"There's no exposure. Where is it in disarray? This is my newly - bought clothes. It's very neat." Yang Xue corrected him calmly. "Also, was the commotion just now related to you?"
She had heard from Mimi that a lot of demons had gathered, and all of them had been dealt with by Sun Wukong. She didn't quite understand.
"Yes," Sun Wukong stood sideways. "Come out and look downstairs."
Seeing his non - sideways glance, Yang Xue couldn't help holding back her laughter and looked downstairs.
Downstairs, there were a lot of demons lying in disorder on the ground. Some had reverted to their original forms, and some had their tails and ears showing. They had no sign of life.
"Are they all dead?" If they really came for her, why were they demons?
"Not yet." Sun Wukong stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "I accidentally overheard that these demons were eyeing your demon core. They had seen you during the day, so I followed them here. These are just small fries. They can't even withstand one blow from my staff."
"Ah?" Yang Xue clicked her tongue with some pity. "They're so weak. You should have left them to me."
"Didn't you notice at all that they were peeping at you taking a bath outside?" As he said this, Sun Wukong's tone was full of annoyance mixed with disgust. "You have no sense of vigilance at all. These little demons are all male, and they even deluded themselves into thinking of capturing you and offering you to their king. If it weren't for this Great Sage, you would have..."
"Would have been completely exposed?" Yang Xue laughed softly, turned her head to stare at Sun Wukong and asked in a low voice, "Is the Great Sage worried about me? Then did the Great Sage peep?"
He widened his eyes and straightened his neck as he stated seriously, "It's just a case of seeing injustice and stepping in! This Great Sage is a gentleman. I would never do such despicable things!"
Then, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, stood firmly, and said in a deep voice, "Be more careful next time. You're a female demon. Don't be too showy when you're out. Wear this hat when you go out from now on."
Yang Xue looked at the white veil hat that suddenly appeared in Sun Wukong's hand in disbelief. Her heart warmed, and she took it with a smile, biting her lips. "Thank you, Great Sage."
He actually bought a hat for her. Sun Wukong was quite considerate. But where did he get the hat in such a short time?
Moreover, the hat was connected with a veil. Did he think that her face was what made those demons commit crimes?
Yang Xue bit her lips, looked up and asked with a smile, "Great Sage, you gave me this hat. Do you think my face is quite eye - catching?"
Sun Wukong paused, scratched the hair by his ear, looked at the distance and said uncomfortably, "It was what those demons downstairs said. Something about being as beautiful as a celestial being, and they wanted to capture you..." Just thinking of their filthy words, he regretted not killing them with one blow from his staff.
"Oh, so the Great Sage doesn't think I'm as beautiful as a celestial being, right?"
"..." Sun Wukong was stunned. He looked up at the clouds in the distance and suddenly didn't like this unyielding mouth.
His face turned red visibly, and there was a faint blush on the tips of his ears. This man whom she had to look up to was so easy to tease and so cute.
Yang Xue covered her mouth and snickered. She decided not to tease him anymore, lest he lose his temper.
"By the way, Great Sage, I'll follow you from now on. I won't be afraid if I encounter danger. If you hear any commotion, you'll surely appear, right?" She blinked her eyes, making an obvious hint.
"However, my cultivation is improving quite fast now. As long as I avoid the big demons you encounter, I can handle the rest of the demons and ghosts myself." She patted her chest confidently. "Don't worry. I won't be a burden to the Great Sage."
"..." Sun Wukong opened his mouth,欲言又止, but finally said nothing.
"It's so late. Can't the Great Sage sleep either?" Seeing his expression, Yang Xue quickly changed the topic. "How about the Great Sage play chess with me?"
It would be even better if she could teach him how to play cards. There was no other form of entertainment here, but he should be able to learn how to play cards with a little teaching.
But she just thought about it. If such a novel thing were spread out, it would surely attract attention.
"Play chess?" Only then did Sun Wukong look her up and down. "You're dressed like this and inviting a man to your room to play chess. Even if you're a demon, you should maintain a girl's reserve."
"Oh..." Yang Xue pouted and tied the belt of her long gown. "Playing on the roof is okay too..."
"Wait!" Suddenly, Sun Wukong raised his hand to signal her to be silent and said in a low voice, "Who else lives here? It's neither human nor demon."
"The God of Wealth..." Yang Xue said in a small voice. Oh no!
She quickly grabbed Sun Wukong's clothes and leaped onto the roof. How could she have forgotten that the God of Wealth lived next door!
She had even pretended to be a disciple of the Supreme Lord Laozi, but now she had been chatting with Sun Wukong here for a long time, saying that she was a demon...
He shouldn't have heard it, right?
After listening to Yang Xue's extremely remorseful explanation, Sun Wukong comforted her thoughtfully, "Don't worry. Even if he knows you're a demon, he won't capture you. However, it's a bit too generous of the God of Wealth to give you his golden whip just after getting to know you."
"Is the golden whip very powerful?" Yang Xue took out the golden whip and couldn't help muttering, "He said he didn't need it, so I took it."
"We'll know how powerful it is when we try it later." Sun Wukong spun around in the air. "Get some rest early. We'll leave tomorrow. Take care." Before his voice faded, he disappeared.
With Zhao Gongming by her side and the golden whip in hand, she should be able to turn danger into safety when encountering danger.
"Coming and going without a trace," Yang Xue stared at the place where Sun Wukong disappeared and murmured, "Did the Great Sage come here specifically to save me?"
Yang Xue screamed and rejoiced secretly in her heart. She rolled around on the rooftop several times before calmly going back to her room to rest.
The little demons lying in disorder downstairs were completely forgotten.
Early the next morning, the early - rising waiter found a bunch of animals on the ground. They were listless and didn't seem to have much time left. So he threw them behind the mountain to let them fend for themselves.
Their cultivation had been scattered. Whether they would live or die depended entirely on their fate.
Sun Wukong didn't kill them on the spot because he thought that the White Bone Spirit definitely didn't want him to be cruel and hurt her kind.
When Yang Xue got up and finished breakfast, she saw the God of Wealth sitting by the window downstairs, drinking alone. She suddenly felt a bit nervous.
"This outfit is nice. It's low - key and simple," the God of Wealth said, looking at the perfect curves outlined by the black simple clothes. He didn't dare to let his eyes stay for too long. "It would be better if it were looser."
Yang Xue understood their aesthetics, but she had taken a fancy to this set at first sight. The leather outer garment was breathable and neat. It was all because the physical body cultivated by the White Bone Spirit had a really good figure. For the ancients, it was indeed a bit too hot.
However, in the small countries encountered on the journey to the West, the dressing aesthetics were even more daring. There were many people showing their waists and legs. Her outfit wouldn't attract much attention.
"Last night, did the God of Wealth hear any commotion?" Yang Xue asked casually. "I heard from Mimi that there were a lot of dying animal corpses lying outside."
"No. I was in meditation. No sound could reach my ears." Zhao Gongming laughed heartily. "Are you about to set off? I'm also ready and can set off at any time."
