In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

As soon as Chen Yi opened his eyes, he was struck dumb, meeting a pair of beautiful eyes.

Staring at the stranger before him, he stood frozen in place, as if he were a clay or wooden sculpture.

Who is this?

"Tsk~ You must be Tang Sanzang."

Chen nodded, then asked with a suspicious look, "Who are you?"

"I am Ao Lie, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King."

Chen Yi looked around and found himself in a gloomy cave. He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "So you're the one who kidnapped me?"

He clearly remembered that he was resting, and then he fell asleep without realizing it. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in this place.

Chen Yi mustered his courage and said, "You'd better release me right away, or you'll definitely regret it."

The moment Chen Yi realized that the person in front of him was the White Dragon Horse, his fear vanished instantly.

Ao Lie's lips curled up, revealing a disdainful smile: "Hmph! This Crown Prince has always acted decisively and never does anything he regrets."

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening sound came from outside.

"You mudfish! Release the little monk right now! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's voice, Chen Yi's eyes gleamed. He shrugged smugly at Ao Lie and said, "See? I told you, you'll regret this soon."

Ao Lie said arrogantly and contemptuously, "He's just an ignorant and unruly monkey. I'll go and take him down right now."

"You impudent monkey! Take this!"

He was responded with a creepy sneer.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Ao Lie, wielding a long sword, thrust it towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong dodged to the side, then swung his golden cudgel and smashed it hard at Ao Lie.

Upon seeing this, Ao Lie quickly jumped away, simultaneously brandishing his longsword and unleashing a series of fierce attacks.

Sun Wukong showed no weakness, nimbly dodging Ao Lie's attacks and occasionally retaliating.

For a moment, sword energy crisscrossed the cave, and staff shadows danced in the air as the two fought fiercely, evenly matched.

Chen Yi, watching the battle, clenched his fists nervously, cheering for Sun Wukong.

"come on!"

"Go, Great Sage!"

Go, Wukong!

Upon hearing Chen Yi's shout, Sun Wukong stumbled and was nearly stabbed by Ao Lie.

Sun Wukong: "Shut up!"

How dare a stinky monk call him by his full name?!

Chen Yi immediately covered his mouth.

Hahaha... Sun Wukong's fur standing on end is so funny.

Just as Ao Lie was forced to reveal his true form, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly descended.

With a compassionate expression, she gently waved the willow branch in her hand, and a gentle force immediately separated the two.

"Ao Lie, as the third prince of the West Sea Dragon King, how can you be so reckless?" Guanyin Bodhisattva questioned.

Ao Lie quickly sheathed his sword and respectfully knelt down to pay his respects: "Greetings, Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Sun Wukong, however, was unperturbed and said with dissatisfaction, "The Bodhisattva's arrival was perfectly timed."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head slightly, signaling Sun Wukong to stop causing trouble.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, don't be silly."

"This journey to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures is long and fraught with difficulties, so we need a mount with excellent stamina."

"I see that Ao Lie is quite intelligent, so I punish him by making him transform into a dragon horse to carry Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West. Once the true scriptures are obtained, I will naturally return his freedom."

Sun Wukong was unwilling to accept this, but he knew that it was useless to object, so he remained silent.

Then, Guanyin Bodhisattva waved the willow branch and chanted incantations.

A golden light emanated from Ao Lie's body, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a white horse.

Guanyin Bodhisattva then said to Sun Wukong, "Tang Sanzang, Wukong, take care on your journey and never act recklessly again."

After saying that, she glanced at the headband on Chen Yi's head and then rode away on a cloud.

Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled and patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, saying, "Great Sage, this is great! With the White Dragon, our journey to the West will be much easier."

Sun Wukong glared at him and said, "It's all because you're too spoiled."

Chen Yi: “…”

The two, leading the dragon horse, continued their journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The little white dragon seemed somewhat unwilling, constantly swishing its tail.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong grabbed the dragon horse by the ear and shouted, "Still not behaving yourself! From now on, carry the little monk properly, or you'll be in big trouble!"

The white dragon horse was in pain and had no choice but to obey.

Chen Yi couldn't help but chuckle as he watched this scene.

And so, the three of them continued their journey to the Western Paradise.

Along the way, Chen Yi talked to Sun Wukong because he was so bored. Although Sun Wukong didn't pay much attention to him, he could still entertain himself for a long time, while the dragon horse silently carried Chen Yi.

They traversed mountains and rivers, endured many hardships, and also reaped much joy.
