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

And just like that, the Western Heavens agreed to Madam Earth Flow's request. When Guanyin returned to her original location with a pile of treasures, she happened to see Listening observing Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

It was already late at night, and not a single star could be seen in the sky.

Listening's face lit up when he saw Guanyin's arrival.

After being ordered to leave, Madam Earth Flow returned to Chanlin Temple without stopping and approached Chu Hao.

Upon seeing Chu Hao, Madam Earth Flow told him everything about her conversation with Guanyin.

After listening, in order to gain the trust of the Western Heavens,

Chu Hao decided to use a trick within a trick.

So, he called Pigsy up in the middle of the night and arranged for him to put on a show.

And this show was exactly what Listening had just mentioned.

He saw Pigsy meeting with Madam Earth Flow in private and then discussing the matter of letting the female demon join the team.

After listening to Listening's words, Guanyin suddenly asked, "Did Chu Hao not react?"

"Chu Hao is not at Chanlin Temple; he probably returned to the Law Enforcement Hall," Listening said.

"I didn't expect him to be absent," Guanyin said with slight surprise.

If he wasn't present, then that would be even better, as the plan could proceed smoothly.

"Great Master Guanyin, I didn't expect Pigsy to seem honest but actually be full of bad ideas," Listening said with a smile.

He eavesdropped on their conversation.

He discovered that Pigsy had long been dissatisfied with Tang Sanzang and even openly slandered him, saying that he wanted to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh together with the female demon.

This was exactly what the Western Heavens wanted.

Guanyin nodded: "It's normal for Pigsy to have ambition. He probably already realized that the female demon is backed by my Western Heavens, which is why he's so unscrupulous."

"Does Great Master Guanyin mean that he wants to defect to my Western Heavens?" Listening asked with delight.

If so, then Pigsy could be made a pawn of the Western Heavens and planted among Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

Guanyin didn't continue this topic, but simply said, "Summon the female demon here."

"Yes," Listening nodded, and then began to display his divine powers.

He was covered in radiance, his ears were nimble, and a strange power poured into the void, spreading through the heavens and heading towards Chanlin Temple.

Madam Earth Flow, who was resting and waiting in her room, immediately heard the summons from Listening.

A smile crossed her lips, and she immediately walked out of the room and flew towards Guanyin.

Soon, she appeared before Guanyin and knelt on the ground in a pretentious manner: "Great Master Guanyin."

Guanyin looked indifferent and placed several demon cores and 100,000 merits of divine water into a spatial ring and handed it to her.

"The Buddha has already agreed to your request," Guanyin said indifferently.

Taking the pile of treasures, Madam Earth Flow pretended to be fearful and apprehensive: "Thank you for your trust, Great Master Guanyin."

However, Guanyin said: "If you fail, you should know what the punishment will be."

Madam Earth Flow was startled and asked: "What do you mean by this, Great Master Guanyin?"

Guanyin remained cold and said calmly: "This time, you must not only collude with Pigsy but also marry Tang Sanzang."

This was the decision of the Western Heavens.

"Ah?" Madam Earth Flow looked surprised.

She didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Marrying Tang Sanzang would mean that her previous plan would fall through, wouldn't it?

Originally, she was thinking of extorting a sum from the Western Heavens and directly joining Chu Hao's Law Enforcement Hall.

This way, she could avoid being held accountable by the Western Heavens.

But now the plan had changed, and she seemed unable to disobey.

"But Great Master Guanyin, Tang Sanzang is no ordinary person," Madam Earth Flow said.

She was referring to her previous experience of Tang Sanzang going crazy and trying to kill her.

"You don't need to worry. With Pigsy covering for you, you will naturally succeed," Guanyin had already made up her mind.

"Then Great Master Guanyin, when should I take action?" Madam Earth Flow asked.

She knew very well that she couldn't refuse, because she wasn't qualified to refuse.

The only consequence of refusing would be being forcibly executed by the Western Heavens.

For example, when Guanyin had previously probed her heart, she felt a chill down her spine when she thought about it afterward, and it made her realize her weakness.

So, finding a strong backer to rely on was what she needed to do.

"Tomorrow night," Guanyin said slowly.

The Western Heavens still needed time to distract Chu Hao.

"Yes," Madam Earth Flow nodded.

Then she slowly left with the treasures.

She returned to Chanlin Temple.

At this moment, it was late at night, and the monks she had bewitched were all asleep.

Even Tang Sanzang and his disciples had entered dreamland.

Naturally, Guanyin and the others would not continue to focus their attention here.

Madam Earth Flow took the opportunity to quietly come to Tang Sanzang's room.

There, Chu Hao slowly appeared.

In fact, he had never left from beginning to end. The reason why Listening had not discovered his whereabouts was because he had used a secret method.

The purpose was naturally to make them believe Madam Earth Flow's words.

"Immortal Master, everything has been arranged," Madam Earth Flow said happily when she saw Chu Hao.

"Mmm, mmm," Chu Hao nodded.

At this time, Madam Earth Flow suddenly took out the storage ring and presented it to Chu Hao.

"Immortal Master, these are the treasures of the Western Heavens," she said very sincerely.

Seeing this, Chu Hao said: "This is what you should have obtained; you don't need to give it to me."

"No, no, no, if it weren't for Immortal Master, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a plan," Madam Earth Flow shook her head.

"It's all because of you that these treasures exist," Chu Hao still refused.

But Madam Earth Flow insisted on giving these treasures to Chu Hao.

She stuffed them all into Chu Hao's arms and knelt on the ground: "Please accept them, Immortal Master, as a way for me to repay your life-saving grace."

She understood that Chu Hao was now her lifeline.

Unlike those guys in the Western Heavens who didn't treat her like a human being, Chu Hao was willing to talk to her on an equal footing, which was enough to move her greatly.

Especially since the other party had promised her that she could attain immortality.

You must know that this was her lifelong wish.

So, these things were something she should give.

Chu Hao quickly helped her up: "Why is this necessary?"

He didn't approach her for the sake of the treasures of the Western Heavens, but only because he pitied her for being bullied by the Western Heavens and felt that he could add combat power to the Law Enforcement Hall, which was why he did so.

"Immortal Master, please accept them," Madam Earth Flow pleaded.

Helplessly, Chu Hao had no choice but to reluctantly accept those treasures.

With the 100,000 merits of divine water and several demon cores, his strength could be further improved.

Although it wouldn't necessarily improve his realm, every bit of strength was his confidence in resisting the Western Heavens.

After accepting the treasures, Madam Earth Flow also revealed the entire plan of the Western Heavens.
