Chapter 198 Calling someone "sweetie" while stargazing
Chapter 198 Calling someone "sweetie" while stargazing
The Bull Demon King was somewhat confused, while Ye Ming, standing to the side, was rather helpless.
It would be fine if it were any other version of Journey to the West, but it just so happens to be Stephen Chow's A Chinese Odyssey.
This version was somewhat ahead of its time.
The advanced aspect lies in Sun Wukong's own emotional journey.
Seducing the second sister-in-law, flirting with the eldest sister-in-law, the eighteen-year-old White Bone Demon, the celestial fairy Zixia...
This kind of romantic storyline is indeed hard for some people to accept.
Now that this has happened to him, it is really troubling him.
Looking at the strange-looking Princess Iron Fan in front of him, Ye Ming was still thinking about following the plot and getting Sun Wukong's power back first.
He forced a smile, "I'm tired from the journey to the West, and I want to get closer to my sister-in-law."
"If I marry Xiangxiang, won't we be family from now on...?"
"snort!"
Princess Iron Fan snorted coldly, glared at Ye Ming, and then turned to look at the Bull Demon King, "Come with me, I want to hear what kind of nonsense you're going to come up with."
The Bull Demon King gave Ye Ming a pleading look, gestured wildly towards Princess Iron Fan, and winked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming shrugged, giving a helpless look.
Despair filled the Bull Demon King's eyes as Princess Iron Fan grabbed his ear and dragged him aside.
Hearing the Bull Demon King's screams coming from afar, Ye Ming covered his ears and walked towards the inner hall.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Zixia sitting alone on the stone steps in the courtyard, her face full of sorrow.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming's memories of Supreme Treasure resurfaced, stirring up waves in his heart.
"It seems this reincarnation has ultimately had some impact on me!"
He murmured to himself, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Years of acting experience and traversing several reincarnation realms made him forget himself, knowing only that immortality was his goal.
However, after the memories of Supreme Treasure resurfaced, he was unusually dazed.
Supreme Treasure's memories are those he personally experienced. Supreme Treasure is another version of himself.
"It seems I need to create another clone to separate out Supreme Treasure's memories."
Ye Ming would not let these memories affect him. If it weren't for the mission in the Samsara Secret Realm, he would have severed all ties long ago.
After thinking it through, Ye Ming adjusted his mindset, forced a smile, and walked towards Zixia.
What are you doing here?
He asked Zixia with a gentle expression, but Zixia looked up and saw that it was him. Suddenly, she drew her Purple and Green Sword and held it directly to his neck.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Ye Ming's eyes were filled with surprise.
"At that time, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from my throat, but a quarter of an incense stick later, the sword's owner will fall completely in love with me."
"Because I decided to tell a lie, and although I have told countless lies in my life, I think this one is the most perfect."
The sudden appearance of this passage from Supreme Treasure's memories surprised Ye Ming slightly.
After thinking about it, he decided to do as Supreme Treasure suggested.
After all, this task of overcoming inner demons truly requires the consciousness of the Supreme Treasure to sustain it.
In terms of romantic experience, he is no match for Supreme Treasure.
Even Sun Wukong from A Chinese Odyssey is no match for him.
The women who confessed their love to him must have had their graves overgrown with weeds by now.
"If you take another half step forward, I'll kill you!" Zixia gripped her right hand with her left, the Purple and Green Sword still pressed against Ye Ming's neck.
A tear suddenly welled up in Ye Ming's eye, and he said with deep emotion, "You should do this, and I should die too."
"There was once a sincere love placed before me, but I did not cherish it. When I lost it, I regretted it deeply."
"There is nothing more painful in the world than this."
After Ye Ming finished speaking, Zixia's gaze softened, and the Purple and Green Sword slipped from his neck.
"Slice my throat with your sword, don't hesitate any longer."
"If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: I love you."
"If I had to put a time limit on this love..." He looked at Zixia's softened eyes and continued affectionately, "I hope it will be ten thousand years."
"Well……"
Zixia murmured, and the Purple-Green Sword instantly slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
She picked up the sword somewhat flusteredly, staring intently at Ye Ming. "Then why did you pretend not to know me yesterday?"
Ye Ming shook his head. "I have my own unavoidable difficulties."
He took two steps forward, grasped Zixia's hand, and whispered, "Zixia, don't you believe me?"
"It's all arranged by fate!"
"I believe you." Zixia's eyes were already filled with tears. She looked at Ye Ming and nodded, saying, "I believe you, Supreme Treasure."
"Shall we run away?"
"Escape from Bullhead Castle, find a quiet corner where no one will bother you, and live out your life happily."
Ye Ming smiled and nodded without hesitation.
"Hmph, I'm already tired of your sweet talk back at Flaming Mountain." Just then, Princess Iron Fan grabbed the Bull Demon King's ear and dragged him through the inner hall.
She suddenly saw Ye Ming and Zixia huddled together and immediately scolded, "What are you doing here?"
She released the Bull Demon King's ears, walked over, glanced at Zixia, then fixed her gaze on Ye Ming and asked, "Who is she?"
Zixia touched her hair, and Ye Ming looked up at the sky, but neither of them responded.
Princess Iron Fan raised an eyebrow, turned to look at the Bull Demon King beside her, and asked, "Who is she?"
"She..." The Bull Demon King's eyes darted around before he looked at Ye Ming and said urgently, "Brother, who is she? Tell me!"
"She...is my wife." Ye Ming looked at Zixia, his face full of tenderness.
"Wow! Brother, you've gone too far!" the Bull Demon King exclaimed, then raised an eyebrow at Ye Ming, secretly gave him a thumbs-up behind his back, and mouthed a lip-reading message.
"Good bro, that's a true friend!"
Princess Iron Fan raised an eyebrow and looked at the Bull Demon King, "He already has a wife, and you still want to marry your sister to him?"
"So his wife couldn't stand it and pointed her sword at him!" the Bull Demon King chimed in.
Zixia laughed, and Ye Ming nodded naturally.
Princess Iron Fan's heart tightened, and she pulled Ye Ming aside, saying, "Come with me, I have something to ask you!"
Still immersed in joy, Zixia looked at the Bull Demon King and said with a smile, "Oh~ so you have a wife!"
"The relationship has broken down." The Bull Demon King spread his hands, very sincerely.
On the other side, Princess Iron Fan pulled Ye Ming aside and questioned him, "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened!"
"I already told you, sister-in-law." Ye Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Hmm~ You called me sister-in-law?" Princess Iron Fan glanced at Ye Ming, feeling a little jealous.
Ye Ming thought for a moment, then spoke again, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Niu."
Princess Iron Fan looked towards the corner and said with a hint of loneliness, "When I used to watch the moon with her, I called her 'Sweetie'."
"Now that the new person has replaced the old one, she's being called 'old hag'."
Princess Iron Fan looked up at Ye Ming, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Sweetie?" Ye Ming almost couldn't help but laugh.
Even he, having truly witnessed this scene, found it somewhat difficult to accept.
"Mmm." Princess Iron Fan nodded contentedly, then gently nuzzled Ye Ming's chest with her shoulder and said slowly:
"Do you really think people went through all that trouble to come here just for this stinky cow?"
Princess Iron Fan blocked the view of the two people behind her, reached out and pinched Ye Ming's soft arm, twisting it sharply.
"It's all because of you, you heartless, stinking monkey!"
"Hiss!!" Ye Ming took a deep breath, and for a moment, he didn't know how to speak.
"Alas!" In the distance, the Bull Demon King heard Ye Ming's pitiful voice, sighed quietly, and murmured, "Brother, it's really been hard on you."
"It's none of my business!" Ye Ming said helplessly, looking at Princess Iron Fan.
This time, he made a huge sacrifice to complete the task of overcoming Sun Wukong's inner demons.
"I don't care!" Princess Iron Fan suddenly grabbed Ye Ming's shirt at the chest. "Wait for me here at midnight tonight. I have something to tell you!"
She touched Ye Ming's chest, blinked, and then turned to walk towards the Bull Demon King and the other man.
Iron Fan looked at Zixia with exasperation and said, "If I were you, and my husband wanted to take a concubine, I'd rather be dead!"
"Really?" The Bull Demon King's eyes lit up with joy.
"Yes! But I'll castrate you first!" Princess Iron Fan glanced at the Bull Demon King. "Come with me!"
She turned and left without saying anything more.
After Iron Fan and the Bull Demon King left, Zixia came over, looking at Ye Ming with hopeful eyes, "Supreme Treasure, shall we run away tonight?"
"Take me away, get me out of here!"
Ye Ming looked at those bright eyes and nodded gently.
"Wait for me here around midnight tonight, and I'll take you away!"
He looked at Zixia and spoke with absolute certainty.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Zixia's face was full of smiles, as if she never thought that her beloved would lie to her.
There are many fairies in Bullhead Castle during the day, so it's definitely not a good time to leave.
She waved to Ye Ming and walked into the inner hall.
After watching everyone leave, Ye Ming opened the Fox Fairy Blessed Land and summoned a clone, which remained at Bull Head Fortress.
He himself arrived at the Spider Cave, which was originally the Water Curtain Cave, through the Space Ancestral Symbol.
As he entered the cave, familiar scenes flashed through his mind, but Ye Ming ignored them and went straight to the deepest part of the cave.
He looked at the stone wall in front of him, which was seeping with water droplets, clenched his fist, and then slammed his fist hard against the stone wall.
Click click click!
The stone wall shattered with a crash, revealing the entrance to a cave.
Water droplets dripped down, and faintly, a ray of golden light shot out from within the cave.
Seeing this, Ye Ming stepped inside.
After passing several stone platforms, he arrived at the deepest part of the cave. He looked up and saw the Ruyi Jingu Bang hanging on the stone wall, as well as the Golden Hoop on the stone table next to it!
He had already visited this cave countless times when he was still the Monkey King.
In the depths of the cave, he also sensed the cries coming from within.
However, at that time, he had not awakened Ye Ming's own memories, and he regarded this inexplicable reaction as just a scene in a dream.
But Ye Ming knew that this shout came from inside the Water Curtain Cave, from the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang before Sun Wukong's reincarnation.
That's why Ye Ming chose to use the Space Ancestral Symbol to arrive at the Water Curtain Cave first.
"Sun Wukong, you've arrived."
"Do you understand now?"
"Wear the headband, and you will regain your strength."
The voice from his dream echoed back, and Ye Ming now understood that it was the same Guanyin Bodhisattva who had sent him into the cycle of reincarnation.
At that moment, a tempting force emanated from the tight headband, filling his mind and urging him to put it on.
If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly not be able to resist this temptation and would choose to put on the headband in a moment of confusion.
However, Ye Ming's soul power was immense, and after regaining his memories, the power of the laws he controlled surged even more.
He can now fight Guanyin even if he faces her directly, let alone the alluring power emanating from this headband alone.
However, Ye Ming smiled slightly and nodded gently, saying, "Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, I have figured it out."
"To obtain the scriptures is my mission."
"I am willing to wear the golden headband to protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and save the world."
"Good!" The mysterious voice rang out again in the Water Curtain Cave. Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Your enlightenment is a testament to the opportunity that Tang Sanzang gave you with his life."
"However, I must remind you of something. Once the golden headband is on, you will no longer be an ordinary person, and you must not be tainted by worldly desires."
"If you are tempted, this tight band will tighten around your head, causing you unbearable suffering."
"I heard you!" Ye Ming walked to the stone table with a carefree air, picked up the headband with both hands, and prepared to put it on his head.
Suddenly, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke again: "Before you put on this headband, do you have anything else to say?"
Holding the alluring headband in his hands, Ye Ming said sincerely, "There was once a sincere love placed before me, but I did not cherish it. Only when I lost it did I regret it."
"Nothing in this world is more painful than this. If God could give me another chance, I would tell that girl, I love you."
"If I had to put a time limit on this love, I would hope it would be ten thousand years!"
Ye Ming held the headband in both hands and slowly put it on his head.
Just as the tight band was about to hit his head, his hands suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? Sun Wukong, do you still have any doubts?"
As if sensing Ye Ming's actions, Guanyin's somewhat puzzled voice rang out again in the Water Curtain Cave.
Ye Ming smiled slightly and casually stuffed the tight band in his hand into his system storage space.
A smile appeared on his face. "I have no doubts."
"But all of this was a lie I told you!"
"laugh."
Ye Ming scoffed, "Wearing the headband grants you power?"
"Do you think I'm some kind of black bear spirit from Mount Luojia?"
He slightly raised his hand, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) placed on the stone wall seemed to hear the command and began to shake wildly.
In the next lesson, bursts of golden light appeared, and the seal placed on the Ruyi Jingu Bang shattered inch by inch!
Ye Ming suddenly grasped the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which Guanyin had imprisoned in the Water Curtain Cave, and felt a mysterious power surging continuously within his body.
He could sense that the two profound laws, the Law of Force and the Law of Change, had opened their doors to him.
This also means that Sun Wukong's power has been restored in this world!
