Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 477 : Mysterious Potion

The Nine-Headed Serpent stared intently at Jiang Liu and his companions, feeling utterly despairing.

Since they had already come to him, he had no way out but to fight.

"Hmph, don't try to deceive me—fight or kill if you wish, but tricking me with such words is impossible!" The Nine-Headed Serpent said earnestly as he gazed at Jiang Liu; he clearly did not believe what Jiang Liu had just said.

Only a very few trusted confidants knew about his flight with his wife and father-in-law, and they would never speak of it.

Though he did not know what means Tang Monk and his companions had employed to learn about Sun Moon Lake, the Nine-Headed Serpent thought it must not have been easy!

"If you don't believe it, let it be!" About the fact that Jiang Liu had extracted information from Benboba's mouth, Jiang Liu did not elaborate and simply waved his hand.

"Master, shall we start!?" Sun Wukong, anxious and eager by the side, spoke as he gripped his Golden Hoop, having already cornered the man at Sun Moon Lake.

However, Jiang Liu did not respond to Sun Wukong but instead turned his gaze to Little White Dragon Aolie next to him.

Of course, whether or not to fight, or rather how to fight, all depended on Little White Dragon Aolie's own decision.

"Master, I—I want to go down and meet Princess Wansheng first!" At this point, after hesitating for a moment, Little White Dragon Aolie spoke to Jiang Liu.

"Very well, go ahead; we are here!" Jiang Liu nodded after hearing Little White Dragon Aolie's words.

Since it was to help him resolve his emotions, naturally, wanting to meet Princess Wansheng and clarify things seemed reasonable.

"You must not go!"

Upon hearing Aolie's words, the Nine-Headed Serpent's expression changed as he vibrated the Crescent Shovel in his hand and charged at Aolie.

However, the moment Sun Wukong moved, he immediately blocked the Nine-Headed Serpent while sweeping with his Golden Hoop.

The formidable force directly swept the Nine-Headed Serpent away.

As a level 81 Golden BOSS, Sun Wukong had already broken through to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, his strength greater than originally depicted. With Sun Wukong present, the Nine-Headed Serpent naturally could not make his way through.

"Thank you, eldest senior brother!" After turning back, he thanked Sun Wukong.

Suddenly, Little White Dragon Aolie transformed into his dragon form and plunged headfirst into Sun Moon Lake.

"Damn it, move aside, let me through!" Watching Little White Dragon Aolie rush into Sun Moon Lake, the Nine-Headed Serpent cried out loud, even revealing his true form as a Nine-Headed Serpent.

A giant serpent, hovering in mid-air, swallowing clouds and spewing fog, possessed nine heads, each with its own Divine Skills.

Yet, Sun Wukong calmly blocked his path.

The seemingly small and thin monkey, wielding an iron stick, stood immovably like an insurmountable barrier, through which the Nine-Headed Serpent could not pass no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent was both anxious and furious, thinking about Aolie going to find his wife, surely he could not rest easy.

…

Leaving aside the Nine-Headed Serpent's urgency in mid-air and how Sun Wukong blocked him, on the other side, Little White Dragon, being of the Dragon Clan, plunged into Sun Moon Lake and quickly dove down, soon finding the Water Mansion beneath it, which was where the Dragon King Wansheng had reigned before taking over Green Wave Pool.

"Third Prince, after many years, you still possess an impressive demeanor…"

Inside the Water Mansion, Dragon King Wansheng saw the incoming Little White Dragon but had no intention of attacking; instead, he welcomed him with a tranquil smile and said.

"Hmph, do you think I'm here to reminisce with you?" Seeing the transformed Taoist body of Old Dragon King Wansheng, Aolie looked at him disdainfully and spoke.

"Third Prince, you—you have reached the Five-Clawed realm!?" However, Dragon King Wansheng was not angered by Aolie's tone but was instead surprised as he stared at him.

Clearly, he had seen the Five-Clawed form of Aolie when he transformed into his dragon body and entered the water.

Aolie did not respond to Dragon King Wansheng, merely looking at him calmly.

"Ah…"

Being stared at by Aolie, Dragon King Wansheng sighed deeply and said, "Back then, my instincts were indeed not wrong. Among the younger generation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, only the Third Prince had the highest aptitude. Now that you have reached the Five-Clawed realm, it seems that the Western Sea Dragon Palace will surely be led by you in the future, but it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that although I highly valued you, Third Prince, I even went to the Western Sea back then, hoping to arrange a marital alliance with you. But the pity was that my daughter was too headstrong, turning the marriage into a disaster…" Towards the end, Dragon King Wansheng expressed his profound regret.

Though he called himself Dragon King Wansheng, he knew that he did not belong to the Dragon Clan; calling himself a dragon king was merely putting a feather in his cap.

Initially, his whole intention of marrying his daughter to the Third Prince was indeed driven by the Dragon Clan's bloodline.

Today, seeing that Aolie had evolved into a Five-Clawed Dragon, this pure Dragon Clan bloodline made Dragon King Wansheng immensely regretful…

Third Prince Aolie continued to stare intently at Dragon King Wansheng, but as the latter spoke, Aolie's expression softened slightly.

Indeed, from an honest perspective, Dragon King Wansheng admired the Dragon Clan bloodline, and thus wanted to marry his daughter to him, which truly wasn't wrong.

If you were to ask what his greatest mistake was, it was perhaps due to the arranged marriage, completely disregarding the wishes of Princess Wansheng, which led to today's situation, to his own tribulation under Eagle Sorrow Stream.

However, since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers!

If one were to speak of it, was the Dragon King Wansheng truly in the wrong, or was it not such a grave error after all?

"I wonder if I might speak with Princess Wansheng alone?" After a long silence, Aolie showed no intention of attacking Old Dragon King Wansheng, merely breaking the silence.

"This..."

Hearing Aolie's request, he actually wanted to meet his daughter alone? The Old Dragon King's expression held some hesitation; surely this was not proper?

Moreover, his daughter was already married to the Nine-Headed Serpent, and the idea of a man and a woman being alone together...

"What, are you unwilling?" Seeing the hesitation in Dragon King Wansheng, Aolie's expression darkened.

"Ah, if that is so, then go ahead, Crown Prince. If you can clear things up between yourselves, nothing could be better!" Seeing Aolie's demeanor, Old Dragon King Wansheng's heart tightened slightly, then he sighed deeply.

"In that case, please wait for me outside Sun Moon Lake!" Nodding his head, although Dragon King Wansheng had agreed, Aolie still sent him away from the Water Mansion.

In the midair above Sun Moon Lake, the Nine-Headed Serpent revealed its true form, constantly striking, but Sun Wukong sent it flying back every time.

This made Sun Wukong shake his head secretly; if not for his master forbidding him from taking action, Sun Wukong felt he could have killed this evil creature with just a couple of strikes.

"Junior Brother Sha, look at this guy's perseverance!" Zhu Bajie, beside him, couldn't help but whisper after seeing the still lively appearance of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

"Alas, the matter of emotions, sometimes you know it's impossible but you still do it!" Sha Wujing looked at the Nine-Headed Serpent in the air and seemed quite understanding, sighing softly.

Watching the Nine-Headed Serpent in the air, Sha Wujing's mind couldn't help but think back to the past Amei.

When engulfed by the Formation, hadn't he attacked with all his might just like the Nine-Headed Serpent, trying to break the Great Formation of that time?

With a sound of breaking water, Dragon King Wansheng soon followed out.

"Father-in-law, you, why have you come out too?" Seeing Dragon King Wansheng emerging from the water, the Nine-Headed Serpent's assault slowed.

Meanwhile, he looked towards Sun Moon Lake below, becoming even more anxious.

Does this mean, right now within the Water Mansion beneath Sun Moon Lake, only the Princess and the Crown Prince are alone together?

...

Step by step, he walked into the cave dwelling. Although he was the more dominant party, Aolie's heart was somewhat uneasy, even unsure of which attitude to adopt when facing Princess Wansheng.

Should it be hatred? Anger? Or should he be open and straightforward, suggesting that the past was in the past?

"Crown Prince!" Inside the chamber of the Water Mansion, Princess Wansheng also appeared restless, her expression complicated as she saw Aolie walking in.

"Princess, we meet again!" Unsure of which expression to adopt, at that moment, Aolie appeared outwardly calm.

"Crown Prince, how are my father and, and my husband doing?" Upon seeing Aolie enter the chamber, what Princess Wansheng cared most about were the conditions of Dragon King Wansheng and the Nine-Headed Serpent.

"Ah..." Hearing Princess Wansheng's words, Aolie sighed softly.

Originally, she was his wife, but now her concerns lay elsewhere, a bitter mix of feelings.

However, from her words, Aolie could understand that the relationship between Princess Wansheng and the Nine-Headed Serpent was indeed very strong.

Although he sighed internally, Aolie remained composed and sat down at a stone table, casually pouring himself a cup of tea, taking his time, leisurely saying, "Princess, it seems you have been quite happy these years!"

"Yet, your happiness has been built upon my suffering!"

Hearing Aolie's words, Princess Wansheng bowed her head, her expression guilty, unable to speak.

"I'm sorry, back then, I never imagined it would turn out that way..." After a long silence, Princess Wansheng began to apologize.

She was merely pursuing the love she desired; was that wrong?

Yet, back then, Aolie was truly as fierce as fire, even burning the Bright Pearl bestowed by the Jade Emperor himself, something Princess Wansheng had never expected.

"Actually, I've come to understand some things about you and the Nine-Headed Serpent; if you were unwilling at that time, you could have told me plainly. Why did you have to do such a thing during our wedding? How am I supposed to stand with dignity in the Three Realms after this? Where do I put the face of my Western Sea Dragon Palace?"

While speaking, Aolie flipped his hand, pulling out a small potion bottle.

Then, Aolie picked up a teacup and poured the clear potion from the bottle into the cup, pushing it towards Princess Wansheng, "Drink this!"

"What is this?" Seeing the potion that Aolie deliberately brought, Princess Wansheng asked nervously.

"Drink it, and you will understand!" Without intending to explain further, Aolie seriously told Princess Wansheng.
