A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

Sun Wukong was stunned.

Tang Sanzang was also stunned.

The Bull Demon King, who arrived shortly after, was also stunned.

It's not what they imagined!

Shouldn't it be a story of a devoted woman lamenting a heartless man, and then the heartless man unable to resist his feelings, leading to an uncontrollable embrace between them? Or perhaps we should hear Niu Xiangxiang pour out her heart, her love stronger than gold, moving heaven and earth to tears?

"Master, Master, please speak properly."

The Bull Demon King quickly stepped in to mediate the fight.

He had heard about his sister's situation and rushed over.

Niu Xiangxiang: "Song... Song..."

Zhang Zhengdao gave it to him.

Niu Xiangxiang plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, as if she had caught her breath.

The Bull Demon King quickly stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "Why did you provoke the Taoist priest? I just came out of the bridal chamber and rushed over here in a hurry."

Sun Wukong: "Old Bull, your sister is not fair. She even infested my master with bull lice. Hurry up and get them out, or you'll kill my master."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Is this it?"

When everyone looked, they saw that Zhang Zhengdao had dropped a bunch of cow lice from his hand. They crawled all over the ground and died after crawling a few times.

Everyone was horrified.

No one knows what methods Zhang Zhengdao used to get these cow lice out.

Especially the Bull Demon King and Niu Xiangxiang, they knew that to implant bull lice into a person's body, they needed special techniques and magical incantations.

It's so understated!

Niu Xiangxiang glanced at Zhang Zhengdao and met his emotionless gaze. She couldn't help but shiver, overwhelmed with sorrow, and began to sob.

The Bull Demon King was at a loss, frantically trying to comfort Zhang Zhengdao while also wanting to talk to him.

"Amitabha!"

Tang Sanzang got up, bowed to Zhang Zhengdao, and then said to the crowd, "There's no need for conflict because of me. I was merely a catalyst, drawing out everyone's seven emotions and six desires. Niu Xiangxiang used me to awaken her emotions, the Monkey King was awakened by me to righteousness, the Bull Demon King was awakened by me to kinship, and Master Zhang was awakened by me to..."

Zhang Zhengdao: "That brought out your grandpa."

Tang Sanzang was stunned; he was caught off guard!

"Master, there's no need to be angry. Anger is merely one of human desires, a form of anger. Buddhism teaches that resentment, anger, and hatred easily lead to anger, which is also formed from bad karma in past lives. It disturbs one's mind and affects relationships between people, between people and demons, and between demons..."

"Oh!"

Zhang Zhengdao's punch landed squarely on Tang Seng's face, causing him to fall backward and crash straight down.

Sun Wukong originally intended to catch it, but withdrew his hand halfway.

The fall really did send dust flying.

"Take your master with you. Take care on your journey westward."

Zhang Zhengdao said to the monkey.

Sun Wukong quickly scooped Tang Sanzang up, nodded, and said, "Take care." Just as he was about to ride his somersault cloud away, he heard someone call out to him.

"Monkey, wait a minute."

Sun Wukong turned his head and saw that it was the Bull Demon King.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The Bull Demon King said, "I may not say anything else, but if I don't say it today, I'm afraid I won't want to say it in the future."

Sun Wukong frowned: "Brother, please speak freely."

Bull Demon King: "Regarding Princess Iron Fan and your matter, I just want to tell you that I, Old Bull, will swallow this insult, but if you continue to pester me, don't blame me for not showing brotherly loyalty."

Sun Wukong looked at Niu Xiangxiang.

Niu Xiangxiang, having caught her breath, glanced at Sun Wukong and said, "It wasn't me who said it, it was my sister-in-law who said it herself. She was angry because my brother got a new wife, so she came and made a scene."

"Princess Iron Fan has arrived?"

The Bull Demon King nodded: "Let's go. I'll let you go today to save face for the Taoist priest."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "You don't need to give me face. If you want to mess with the monkey, go ahead. I won't interfere."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Wukong somersaulted away.

The Bull Demon King snorted, "It's a good thing he ran fast, otherwise I would have really killed him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Wukong appeared from the horizon again.

The Bull Demon King was taken aback, and a sense of panic rose in his heart.

Sun Wukong then scooped up Tang Sanzang, who was lying upright to the side, and said, "I was in such a panic just now that I forgot." With that, he somersaulted away again and disappeared.

The Bull Demon King breathed a sigh of relief.

They just consummated their marriage last night, and they're already making a move this morning. I guess... they probably can't beat that monkey. Losing face once is enough; if they lose it again, their status in the fairy world will decline.

"Master Daoist—"

Niu Xiangxiang sat half-upright on the ground, one hand supporting her weight, the other clutching her chest. She looked at Zhang Zhengdao with teary eyes, appearing utterly pitiful.

The way he addressed me as "Taoist Master" was quite elaborate, with his voice taking several turns.

What's the meaning behind your expression?

The tea masters I've seen on Earth are far superior to you.

"Master... my sister is deeply in love with you. She'd be willing to be your slave or maid. Why don't you just say so? I don't need any betrothal gifts, I'll even give you my dowry. My family also has a very large luminous pearl. Years ago, the Dragon King of the East Sea accidentally dropped it into the sea, and I found it..."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at him sideways.

The Bull Demon King felt a little embarrassed by the stare and said awkwardly, "Actually... I have another magic weapon at home... but... my wife keeps it, so I can't get it. Otherwise..."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Keep an eye on your sister."

The Bull Demon King remained silent, not daring to argue.

Niu Xiangxiang let out a mournful cry and cried out pitifully, "Daoist Master..."

Zhang Zhengdao angrily retorted, "What are you wailing about? I'm not dead! I'm leaving."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked down from the city wall.

Halfway down, he glanced back at Niu Xiangxiang and said, "I travel frequently and lack a suitable mount." After saying that, he continued walking.

Below the city gate tower, a dense crowd of onlookers gathered.

"This won't do either; there's nothing to see here."

A woman carrying a vegetable basket glanced at the contents. Besides a minotaur, there was a pretty woman, but the Taoist priest clearly didn't like her and just walked away.

"What do you know? This woman is probably flirting with other men outside, and the Taoist priest has rejected her."

……

The Fairy of the Forest and the Sunset Warrior also stood below, looking up and witnessing this scene from the morning.

The Fairy of the Forest sighed, "Women have always been more devoted in love, while men have always been more fickle."

The Sunset Warrior quickly replied, "As sentimental as I am, we've already found our happy match."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, and clasped their hands tightly together.

Those two scoundrels!

Niu Xiangxiang muttered a curse under her breath.

With the Taoist priest present, she dared not act recklessly, much less kill indiscriminately.

The Bull Demon King whispered a reminder from the side: "Girl, didn't you hear what the Taoist priest said just now? Why didn't you react?"

Niu Xiangxiang was taken aback and asked, "What did you mean?"

The Bull Demon King said, "The Taoist priest said that he often goes out and lacks a mount."

Niu Xiangxiang was dumbfounded: "He's missing a mount, what does that have to do with me? The Taoist priest just left like that, am I supposed to go with him? Does he have a wife? If he does, then I can only be a concubine..."

Bull Demon King: ...

"No, girl, can we put aside those unrealistic fantasies?" the Bull Demon King said earnestly. "You should forget about wanting to be the Taoist priest's woman."

Niu Xiangxiang: "Why can't I think about it?"

The Bull Demon King sighed, "Do you want to be choked by the Taoist priest again?"

Niu Xiangxiang's face darkened.

The Bull Demon King said, "Your actions have already displeased the Taoist priest. Even I hate being threatened into doing things, let alone a powerful figure like the Taoist priest."

Niu Xiangxiang's face turned pale.

"Just accept your fate!"

Niu Xiangxiang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I accept my fate!"

The Bull Demon King looked at Niu Xiangxiang with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Niu Xiangxiang came to her senses; this is a great stroke of luck for her.

Look at those great beings: Laozi's mount is a green ox, and the Sage of Heaven's mount is a Kui ox...

After Niu Xiangxiang figured it out, she quickly ran towards the foot of the city wall.

In the distance, Zhang Zhengdao's figure had already become very small; after another turn, he might disappear into the street in front of him.

Zhang Zhengdao actually turned a corner and walked into a noodle shop.

"A bowl of beef noodles."

"Okay, a bowl of beef noodles!" the waiter replied.

Before long, a bowl of beef noodles was placed on the table in front of Zhang Zhengdao. Then a woman sat down in front of Zhang Zhengdao, looked at him and smiled, "Master, hello!"

"The female manager?" Zhang Zhengdao was still taken aback, not expecting that she was the female manager of the Poplar Hotel in the small town.

The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "I've moved into the city, but... business is still not good. Border towns are not suitable for women. I plan to move to Jiangnan."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded: "That's true. After moving there, she can find a good man to marry."

The female shopkeeper smiled, but didn't follow through. She simply glanced outside and asked, "Taoist priest, is that female demon outside looking for you?"

Everyone saw and recognized what happened on the city wall just now.
