I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

After hearing the girl's words, everyone was certain that she was the Jade Rabbit Fairy! Only then did the girl realize that Li Chen had tricked her with her favorite food, carrots!

"You guys didn't hear anything just now, you didn't hear anything!" The Jade Rabbit Fairy shouted anxiously, her eyes full of panic and uneasiness.

Then the Jade Rabbit Fairy touched her head with a cute and innocent smile on her face, and said to Li Chen and his group: "I was just talking to myself just now, don't take it seriously!"

Li Chen smiled and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. But since you like carrots so much, we'll give you more." After that, he took out a handful of fresh carrots from the system mall and handed them to the Jade Rabbit Fairy.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy took the carrots and smiled happily: "Thank you! These carrots look delicious!"

Li Chen looked at the Jade Rabbit Fairy with a smile, and laughed in his heart: "This Jade Rabbit Fairy is really innocent and cute."

The Jade Rabbit Fairy looked at the carrot in her hand and suddenly realized that Li Chen had used food to trick her into talking. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. Her eyes widened and she said angrily, "Oh, you actually used carrots to trick me! Humph, I'm never eating carrots again!"

Li Chen quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Fairy Jade Rabbit, I didn't mean to do that. In fact, we are here to defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and we hope to get your help."

The Jade Rabbit Fairy pouted, looking unhappy, but still said, "Well, for the sake of the carrot, I'll reluctantly forgive you. However, I'm not particularly clear about the affairs of Tang Sanzang and his disciples..."

Just as the Jade Rabbit Fairy was speaking, she suddenly remembered something. Her eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly, "Wait a minute, I remember! I once heard Sister Chang'e mention that Tang Sanzang and his disciples seemed to have encountered a very powerful demon. They were fighting fiercely with the demon, and I was just about to go help!"

Fairy Jade Rabbit blinked her big eyes and asked innocently and curiously, "Do you know about the situation of my brother, my brother, and the others?"

Li Chen's expression became extremely heavy, and he said in a low voice: "According to the information we have received, Tang Sanzang and his disciples have been brutally murdered by Tongtian Sect Master..."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Rabbit was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. She murmured to herself, "How could this happen... My dear brother..."

Li Chen gently patted the Jade Rabbit Fairy's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Jade Rabbit Fairy. Although Tang Sanzang and his disciples have been killed, we cannot give up. We must continue to work hard to defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches, crush Tongtian Patriarch's conspiracy, and avenge Tang Sanzang and his disciples!"

Fairy Jade Rabbit wiped away the tears from her eyes and nodded firmly: "Thank you, Li Chen! Thank you! I will definitely cheer up and fight these demons with you to the end!"

"Welcome to join us! Fairy Jade Rabbit!"

Li Chen said excitedly, after all, he now has an additional force, which will increase his chances of defeating the Fire Ancestral Witch! Moreover, this Jade Rabbit Fairy is proficient in medicine. If anyone in the team is injured, she can also help the injured recover as soon as possible!

Li Chen smiled and nodded, then said, "Let's get to the point. Do you have any ideas about the Fire Ancestral Witch?"

Upon hearing the topic of the Fire Ancestral Witch, everyone fell silent. The once lively banquet was now hushed. After all, even Li Chen, the most powerful member of this team, had been defeated by him and nearly died!

"Say something!" Li Chen suddenly roared, his emotions uncontrollable. Then, he overturned the entire table of food! Everyone was stunned by Li Chen's behavior, especially Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion. They knew that Li Chen was usually very gentle and would never lose his temper easily, unless a monster was killing innocent people!

"You...!" Li Chen's eyes turned red. Just as he was about to continue, he spat out blood and fell backward uncontrollably. Everyone rushed forward to support Li Chen.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy quickly took out a silver needle and accurately pierced Li Chen's acupuncture point. After a while, she pulled out the silver needle, and at this time her body was already wet with cold sweat.

"Master brother, what happened?" The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion asked with a worried look on his face.

"I didn't expect this Fire Ancestral Witch to be so powerful. The anger in Li Chen's body has not been completely eliminated, and his anger has also affected Li Chen's mood! It has made Li Chen become more and more irritable and bloodthirsty! Unless Li Chen can dissolve this anger and convert it into his own strength! Otherwise..."

Fairy Jade Rabbit explained to the two. Fire Scorpion and Fairy Hibiscus shook Fairy Jade Rabbit and asked anxiously, "What will happen if not? Tell me!"

"Otherwise, he will go astray and be controlled by the fire, becoming a puppet of the Fire Witch!" Jade Rabbit Fairy said worriedly. She raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, as if she wanted to know the answer from the moon.

"It's okay, I just need to retreat! Leave me alone!"

Li Chen suddenly woke up and told everyone that he was going to practice in seclusion for a while. His sudden loss of control just now made him realize that if he didn't practice hard now, it would be too late!

Li Chen realized that the Fire Ancestor Witch's anger was like a plague, implanted in his body, causing him to lose control of his emotions step by step, lose himself step by step in rage, and eventually become his puppet, just like the Red Flame King Kong!

If he wants to suppress the remaining anger of the Fire Ancestor Witch, it seems that there is only one way now, that is, as the system said, he must stimulate the softest and life-giving power of the Xuanming True Water. Only then can he have a chance of survival!

This was a life-or-death battle, and Li Chen was fully aware of the difficulties and obstacles involved, but he showed no sign of retreat. He believed that as long as he persevered, he would one day be able to defeat the Fire Witch's wrath and rediscover his true self.

"But, isn't there anyone to protect you?"

Everyone's faces were filled with worry, and they all asked in unison. They knew that during a retreat, someone needed to protect them to ensure their safety. Without someone to guard them, they could be disturbed, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Li Chen struggled to open his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry about this. If I fail in this retreat, I'm very likely to go insane and lose my mind, going on a killing spree! If you were to protect me, I'd go insane and very likely hurt you. So, during this retreat, don't let anyone come to protect me!"

He knew full well that his current situation was extremely dangerous. If he failed in his closed-door training, he would go astray, with disastrous consequences. And the one who protected him would inevitably be the first to fall victim to his evil hands!

"Listen, you must stay here and protect the villagers. If I go crazy or the Fire Witch attacks the village, you must protect the villagers at all costs!"

Despite his frail condition, Li Chen's tone was remarkably firm and resolute. He clearly realized that his situation was critical and he couldn't let anyone else be put in danger. Only in this way could he ensure everyone's safety.
