I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"It's bad! That person won't get the Dragon Ball and won't give it to us!" Prime Minister Turtle's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety. He stared at the water with a frown.

He began to feel worried, as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. This feeling made him a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but wonder if Li Chen was really trustworthy.

The surrounding shrimp soldiers and crab generals also felt the tense atmosphere of the turtle prime minister, and fear appeared on their faces. Just now, their attention was attracted by the shocking battle between Li Chen and the six-eared macaque, and they were completely immersed in this fierce battle.

However, now they suddenly thought of a horrifying question - is Li Chen an enemy or a friend? If he is an enemy, how should they deal with it?

"Someone come! Surround them!" The voice of Prime Minister Turtle broke the silence, and he gave the order decisively. After all, the Dragon Ball was related to the life of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and he really didn't dare to hand over the Dragon Ball to someone he had never met.

As he finished speaking, countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals quickly took action, surrounding Fairy Hibiscus and the others on the other side. Armed with weapons, they stood in formation, forming a solid line of defense.

Fairy Hibiscus and the others' expressions changed slightly when they saw countless soldiers and generals surrounding them, but they did not panic. They all drew their weapons, ready for any possible conflict. Their eyes were firm and calm, demonstrating extraordinary courage and determination.

After seeing this tense scene, Prime Minister Turtle stepped forward and said with a smile: "Girls, we have no ill intentions. We are just worried that your friends will take our things and not return them to us. As long as you can promise that once your friends get the Dragon Ball, they will return it to us immediately, we can lift the siege on you." There was a hint of sincerity in Prime Minister Turtle's tone, hoping to resolve the current tense situation.

"Prime Minister Turtle, no!"

Seeing this, Ao Shuang was in a panic. She quickly stepped forward and said to Prime Minister Gui, "Prime Minister Gui, no! Since that man just came up to save Ao Xue, there is no reason for us to raise weapons against his companions!"

Ao Shuang's eyes widened as she anxiously looked at Prime Minister Turtle, hoping he would retract his order. She knew that doing so might lead to more conflicts and contradictions, and the most important thing at this moment was to ensure everyone's safety.

Prime Minister Turtle frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Third Princess, don't think so highly of others. You have to know that if that person was just tempted by her beauty, what should we do? This dragon ball concerns the life of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I have no choice but to deal with it this way!"

Prime Minister Turtle's eyes were firm and his tone was serious. He knew the importance of protecting the Dragon Ball. For him, any behavior that might threaten the safety of the Dragon Ball of the East China Sea Dragon King must be stopped.

Ao Shuang's heart tightened after hearing what Prime Minister Gui said, but she still insisted on her point of view: "Prime Minister Gui, I believe that man is not that kind of person. He just risked his life to save Ao Xue, which shows that he has a kind heart. We can't hurt innocent people because of a momentary suspicion."

Prime Minister Turtle was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Ao Shuang. Although Ao Shuang was the third princess of the West Sea Dragon King, the four seas had always been like one family, because the four sea dragon kings were brothers. Therefore, Prime Minister Turtle also had great respect for Ao Shuang.

"Third Princess, you are right. But I have a duty and dare not slack off in the slightest. However, since you trust that person so much, I am willing to lay down my weapon temporarily and wait for further developments." said Prime Minister Turtle.

Ao Shuang nodded, looked at Prime Minister Turtle with gratitude, and then came to Fairy Hibiscus and the others, apologized to them, and said, "It was Prime Minister Turtle's people who were rude just now. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Then, she and everyone else turned around and looked into the distance. Suddenly, accompanied by a huge splash, water rose from the sea surface and Li Chen jumped out of the water.

"Just now, the six-eared macaque disappeared in the water. I only found this glowing bead in the water. Can you guys see if it's the dragon ball you're looking for?"

Li Chen stepped forward and said to Prime Minister Turtle and his group that after all, such a dragon ball was of no use to him, but it could be used as a gesture to establish a good relationship with the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle and the others' faces instantly lit up with delight. They had originally thought Li Chen would give them a hard time, but they hadn't expected him to so readily agree to return the Dragon Ball to them. Prime Minister Turtle's face lit up with an excited smile, and the crowd of shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him cheered loudly.

The dragon ball was taken back, which meant that the Dragon King of the East China Sea was saved. However, when Prime Minister Turtle looked at his arms, he found that the seriously injured Ao Xue was lying on his arms, and his mood immediately began to drop again.

You know, Ao Xue is the jewel in the crown of the entire East China Sea Dragon Clan. Now she has been beaten into this state by the Six-Eared Macaque. If she goes back, how will she explain to the Dragon King?

Li Chen stepped forward to look at the seriously injured Ao Xue. He saw that Ao Xue's body was covered with scars caused by the Six-Eared Macaque's iron rod weapon. Each scar was deep into the bone and a lot of blood flowed out.

These wounds were shocking, and people couldn't help but feel pity. Ao Xue's pretty face was completely bloodless. She was seriously injured and her breath was very weak.

"Can you let me take a look at her?"

Li Chen walked forward and looked at Prime Minister Turtle with a firm gaze. He decided to try to see if he could use his own power to heal Ao Xue. If successful, he could take these two letters of allegiance with him to meet the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

"You...you must treat her well! If you can cure her, you will be the great benefactor of our East China Sea Dragon Palace; but if you accidentally kill her, even if we cannot kill you, we will definitely try our best to tire you to death!" Prime Minister Turtle's voice trembled slightly, because Ao Xue was not only the one he watched grow up, but also the third princess most favored by the East China Sea Dragon King.

Li Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. With his current strength, he could completely crush Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Not to mention the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, even if the Dragon Palaces in the four seas were added together, they probably wouldn't be enough for him to defeat!

"Okay, don't worry! I'll do my best to heal her!" Li Chen promised solemnly, his eyes firm and full of determination. Then, he gently placed his hands on Ao Xue, as if holding a precious treasure. He slowly transferred gentle magical power into her body, like a spring breeze, warm and comforting.

As time passed, Ao Xue's body began to heal at an astonishing rate. The wounds quickly disappeared, and her skin returned to its smooth, almost unbroken state. This was the magical power of Wood, possessing the ability to heal anything.

The beauty of wood lies in its endless growth, unchanging with seasons and environment. Life is such a mysterious thing. It can survive the harshest environments and remain vibrant even in the coldest winters. This vitality inspires awe and gives us a deeper understanding of life.

Recalling his battle with Ju Mang, the Ancestral Wood Witch, Li Chen felt a surge of emotion. Ju Mang's powerful self-healing ability had once put him in dire straits, making victory nearly impossible. However, he eventually found a way to break through and successfully slayed Ju Mang, the Ancestral Wood Witch.

If it weren't for the critical moment when Fairy Hibiscus and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cast a spell together to control the ability of the Wood Ancestral Witch to revive by relying on the spiritual energy of plants and trees, Li Chen would probably not have been able to kill the Wood Ancestral Witch Ju Mang.

Now, Li Chen wants to use this unique skill to save the seriously injured Ao Xue. Li Chen uses the power of the spirit of the Wood Ancestral Witch to increase his own healing spell several times and then inject it into Ao Xue's body.

After a short while, Ao Xue's face regained its color, and the scars on his body healed at an extremely fast speed! The East China Sea shrimp soldiers and crab generals, led by Prime Minister Turtle, were all stunned by Li Chen. They had never expected that this man before them was not only a martial arts master, but also had unprecedented magical powers!

Li Chen was actually able to heal a seriously injured and dying person in just a few breaths. Moreover, the person Li Chen was healing was not an ordinary person, but the third princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace!
