Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 589: Sun Wukong: Is this what master calls a bootlicker?

One silent night passed, and the next morning, Jiang Liu and his companions had all freshened up.

"Master, about rescuing the people, how should we proceed?" Zhu Bajie spoke up, asking Jiang Liu, naturally waiting for Jiang Liu's command.

Knowing that the demon creature that abducted the Empress of Jinsheng Palace was actually Guanyin's mount, the Golden Hair Lion, naturally, everyone was eager to get some payback.

But still, all needed to await the Master's opinion first.

"Don't rush, this matter requires careful planning!" Jiang Liu shook his head, urging Sun Wukong and the others not to be hasty.

"Not rush?"

Hearing this, the nearby Sun Wukong, who was the most impatient, could barely restrain himself. He said, "That Golden Hair Lion is just Guanyin's mount after all, how powerful can it be? Master, if all of us take action together, even Guanyin herself should be killable!"

Sun Wukong was confident in his own strength, as well as in the strength of Jiang Liu and Zhu Bajie.

Thus, it was just Guanyin's mount, and as far as Sun Wukong was concerned, there was no need for such caution.

"Wukong, you don't understand, as your teacher, I can feel that this mission is not going to be so easily accomplished!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu shook his head as he spoke.

Indeed, it was just the mount of Bodhisattva Guanyin;, how powerful could it be? Couldn't they just go and rescue the person and be done with it?

However, the mission ahead was of Epic Level, rewarding an Epic Level Treasure Chest and a whopping 200 million Experience Points.

From this reward, one could tell that this mission was definitely not easy and naturally required careful planning.

"Monkey Brother, Monkey Brother, our master is known as Holmes. Since the master has made some deductions, there must be a reason for his words, and we should certainly listen to him!" Zhu Bajie, considering himself Jiang Liu's top follower, chimed in before Sun Wukong could speak again, immediately backing Jiang Liu up.

"Big brother, Second Brother is right!" Sha Wujing also nodded, expressing his agreement.

Indeed, Sun Wukong also had great trust in Jiang Liu; he had merely raised his own objections momentarily.

As Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing spoke, Sun Wukong also nodded, and said to Jiang Liu, "Alright, Master, then what do you propose we do?"

"Like this, let's not make a big show of our actions, but first go and scout out the situation!"

"Wukong, you are proficient in the Art of Transformation, find that Evil Demon's cave, and first sneak in to see what exactly is inside, then come back and report to me. We will discuss further together," Jiang Liu spoke, sharing his thoughts.

"Hmm, that's a good idea!" As Jiang Liu spoke, Sun Wukong also nodded in agreement.

Since the Master had said that this mission would be very difficult, it indeed was necessary to first gather information.

Since the Golden Hair Lion was a mount of Guanyin, even if they used the Soul-Subduing Art to summon Mountain Gods and Local Deities, they wouldn't be able to find the whereabouts of that Evil Demon. Therefore, Sun Wukong approached several demon creatures atop nearby mountains and learnt from them.

Soon, he learned that indeed a powerful, inscrutable new demon creature had settled a few hundred meters away, on Qilin Mountain.

Because of its own formidable strength, and the fact that it did not show intentions of expanding its territory, the other nearby demon creatures simply let it be.

Having learned of Saitaisui on Qilin Mountain, Sun Wukong was able to confirm that this must be the demon creature that had abducted the Empress of Jinsheng Palace.

Thus, he used the Ability of Transformation to disguise himself as a Little Demon, and headed towards Qilin Mountain.

The Golden Hair Lion was its actual form, whereas Saitaisui was its name.

Although it arrived to serve Bodhisattva's mission and did not need to expand its base, Saitaisui had nonetheless gathered a group of Little Demons for his use within Qilin Mountain.

Disguised as a Little Demon, Sun Wukong successfully infiltrated Qilin Mountain.

"Eh? There's a very beautiful woman over there!"

Just as Sun Wukong entered Qilin Mountain and was secretly searching for traces of the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, he discovered a small garden within the mountain, and a very beautiful woman sitting there.

And around the garden were many demon creatures acting as guards.

"Wow, Empress, you are truly fortunate! The Great King treats you so well!" The Empress of Jinsheng Palace sat in the garden, watching the flowers in full bloom, her expression serene. Nearby, a Female Demon, with an envious expression, exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Indeed, Empress, you are indeed fortunate! Just mentioning wanting to see fresh flowers, the Great King immediately used Divine Skills to relocate countless Exotic Herbs, transforming them into a garden!" Another Female Demon also joined the conversation, echoing the sentiment.

The Empress of Jinsheng Palace did not respond to the two Female Demons' words, instead pondering privately in her heart.

Saitaisui, this demon creature, was indeed very afraid of her realizing what exactly he had done to her last night.

She had expressed a desire to see flowers, and he had created a garden.

She had mentioned wanting to eat Dragon's Beard White Fish, and he had gone personally to catch it, even cooking it himself.

Why was he so afraid? The Empress of Jinsheng Palace thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

"Empress, come, this is the Dragon's Beard White Fish I personally cooked. You wouldn't know, but back in the day, my culinary skills were quite exceptional..."

As the Empress of Jinsheng Palace pondered in her heart about what Saitaisui might be afraid of, Saitaisui swiftly came over holding a beautifully crafted silver platter, in which lay a well-cooked Dragon's Beard White Fish, appealing in both color and scent.

The Empress of Jinsheng Palace's nose twitched slightly, and she silently praised.

Unexpectedly, this demon creature also possessed such culinary talent, which was indeed extraordinary.

"Wow, the Great King is cooking himself, the Empress is truly fortunate!" exclaimed the two female demons nearby, half sincerely, half mockingly.

However, the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, intent on testing the limits of Saitaisui's patience, took the dish of braised fish and, with a look of disgust, flung it to the ground.

"You!"

Seeing the braised fish, into which he had put considerable effort and time, heartlessly thrown to the ground, Saitaisui was enraged.

The Empress of Jinsheng Palace felt somewhat intimidated, but to outward appearances, she remained defiant, holding her head high and staring at Saitaisui.

"You, what are you doing?" Saitaisui asked furiously, yet he managed to suppress the raging anger inside him.

"I said I wanted to eat Dragon's Beard White Fish, but I didn't ask for it braised. Braised fish could affect my skin. I want Dragon's Beard White Fish soup!" declared the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, feigning composure with a petulant demeanor.

"Alright, alright, alright, I understand…"

His face turning from green to pale white, Saitaisui, after a moment, swallowed his anger, instructing the female demons to take good care of her, then he soared into the clouds and flew to Lingyuan Lake, hundreds of miles away, to catch more Dragon's Beard White Fish and stew a pot of its soup.

"How about this? How's the Dragon's Beard White Fish soup?" Saitaisui asked, trying to appear calm.

"Too salty!"

"Fine, I'll go make another pot for you right away!"

"Empress, how about this pot of soup?"

"This one is too bland!"

"Wouldn't mixing the salty and the bland together be just right?"

"They've both cooled down, how can you mix them? Make another pot!"

"Okay!"

"And how about this pot?"

"Hmm, it's barely passable."

"If the Empress is pleased, that's what matters. Is there anything else you'd like to eat? Tell me, whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, whatever you desire, I can fetch it for you!"

"Really? I've heard that dragon meat is from the heavens, and donkey meat from the earth. I've never tried dragon meat before; can you get it for me?"

"Uh, that might be a bit difficult..."

"I knew you couldn't do it. Humph, you demons really are skilled at lying and deceiving. So, what you said last night…"

"Wait, Empress, since you want it, I'll go and get it for you now!"

...

Sun Wukong: "..."

Sun Wukong, hiding in the shadows, had been watching for a long time. From the interaction among the female demons, he could almost confirm that the so-called Empress was indeed the Empress of Jinsheng Palace.

And the man busily bustling about was the demon who had abducted the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, also known as Guanyin's mount, the Golden Hair Lion.

However, having watched covertly for so long, Sun Wukong found it very strange. Although the Golden Hair Lion had indeed abducted the Empress of Jinsheng Palace, it showed no malintent; instead, it seemed compliant with every demand.

Even when the Empress of Jinsheng Palace casually mentioned wanting to eat dragon meat, he actually went out, killed a dragon, and obtained dragon meat for her.

"Am I mistaken?"

Sun Wukong thought that the Golden Hair Lion under Guanyin's order shouldn't possibly be like this. He pondered and then used his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze to scrutinize Saitaisui, which indeed revealed his true form as a lion with golden fur.

The lion, shaped like a dog!

"This Golden Hair Lion looks like a dog. Could this be the kind of 'adulator' that Master was describing the other day when Bajie was seeking advice on how to woo females?"

"What did Master say about it again?"

"An adulator, that person who places a woman on a pedestal and attends to her every whim without any principle, is called an adulator?"

"Well, based on the appearance of this Golden Hair Lion and what Master described, they are exactly the same!"

"As expected, Master was right!"

"Adulators, they will not end well!"

"Thus, it is imperative that we kill this Golden Hair Lion!"

"Master is truly a Holmes, he guessed early on that the Golden Hair Lion was an adulator, hence the saying that adulators will not end well, didn't he?"

"Master is incredibly wise, everything is within his calculations…"
