Chapter 761: Chapter 761

Gao Cui Lan gave a polite bow and said with a smile, "Gao Cui Lan of Fuling Mountain Yunzhan Cave greets the Saint Monk and the esteemed elders."

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Miss Gao, I’m honored to meet you!"

Zhu Bajie subconsciously took two steps back, then immediately put on a forced smile and said, "Cui Lan, why are you here?"

"Hmph," snorted Gao Cui Lan coldly. "If I didn’t come, our child would be gone."

"Cui Lan, what are you saying? I don’t understand at all!"

Gao Cui Lan looked at Zhu Bajie’s swollen belly and said, "Don’t tell me you’re trying to get rid of our child?"

Zhu Bajie hurriedly said, "Cui Lan, listen to me, where on earth does it make sense for a man to have a baby?"

Jogging up to Gao Cui Lan, he snuggled up to her and whispered, "Even if you do want a child, we should wait and have one together in the future!"

Gao Cui Lan reached out and twisted Zhu Bajie’s ear harshly, saying irritably, "Don’t think I don’t know. After becoming Immortal Gods, do you think having children is that simple?

It might take tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years without a child. Now that we have one, we must cherish it. Do you understand?"

With a tearful expression, Zhu Bajie wailed, "My Lady, isn’t giving birth a woman’s affair? Even if I get rid of it, you can always drink from the Mother and Child River!"

"Oh! So you actually harbor such backward thinking. Women can bear children, but men can’t?

You always say you love me, yet you’re unwilling to bear a child for me. Zhu Ganglie, I misjudged you."

"My Lady, please let go. We are outside! Leave me some dignity."

"Hmph," Gao Cui Lan released her grip, angrily saying, "I don’t care, if you dare to harm my child, I won’t let you off."

All the others in the courtyard watched in speechless amazement: were they flirting or quarreling?

Tang Sanzang felt envious as he thought, how I envy Bajie’s child to have a mother.

Lingji Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Female donor, there are natural laws between Heaven and Earth. It is against nature for men to bear children; it is better to abort this child."

Gao Cui Lan said unpleasantly, "Don’t bother me with your grand principles. I am a simple woman and do not understand such lofty ideals. All I know is that since this child has come to my family, it is my child."

Lingji Bodhisattva, who had already perceived Zhu Bajie’s true reluctance to have the child, smiled and said, "To understand one’s heart is to see one’s nature.

Bajie, to make the choice that you think is right, isn’t that correct?" Inside, she calculated that as long as Zhu Bajie expressed a wish to get rid of the child, she could intervene righteously and sternly.

Gao Cui Lan looked threateningly at Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie could only say, "Actually, I think what my wife says is right."

Lingji Bodhisattva’s smile stiffened instantly on her face; don’t you have any principles?

"Bajie, you didn’t say that just now. Didn’t you always want to abort the child? We can help you. I have access to the Spring of Abortion," called out Universal Virtue Bodhisattva.

Zhu Bajie stealthily glanced at Gao Cui Lan, a look of grievance in his eyes, and his heart filled with complaints. Alas, a love calamity! Here it comes. If it weren’t for this love calamity, why would old Zhu ever think of having a baby?

Sun Wukong, laughing heartily, said, "Dear Bodhisattvas, now both the little monk and pig head want the child, so you might as well leave!"

The Bodhisattvas all looked displeased. A key figure of the Calamity was on the Journey to the West and had become pregnant. Once word got out, wouldn’t Buddhism lose all face?

Thus, this child absolutely could not be born. Buddhism still needed to maintain face. Who was it that came up with this ridiculous plot for Tang Sanzang to encounter such a tribulation? Right now, they really wanted to beat that person to death.

The Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy sneezed several times in succession, touched his nose, and continued to toss and turn in his cloud tent.

Manjusri Bodhisattva’s grand voice echoed in the night sky: "The Buddha says, ignorant beings, unaware and unknowing, with lives as fleeting as a spark from a flint, as a bubble upon water, as a flash of lightning, not comprehending the true meaning of life, their hearts trapped by the delusion of gluttony.

Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist Law is boundless, able to save all beings, and it can save you too."

Tang Sanzang felt a surge of unease and stepped back, looking guarded as he said, "Bodhisattva, what... what do you want to do?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva stretched out his hand toward Tang Sanzang and pointed. A ray of Buddha Light emitted from his fingertips, slowly enveloping Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang cried out in alarm, "Wukong, save me!"

In the night sky, the stars suddenly distorted, space rippled, and from within the ripples, a Wind and Fire Wheel spinning at high speed flew out. Bang~ The Wind and Fire Wheel cut through the Buddha Light, clang~ The Wheel shot into the ground, transforming into a Long Spear with fluttering red tassels.

Manjusri Bodhisattva felt a pain at his fingertips and immediately retracted his hand, speaking gravely, "An Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire-tipped Spear!" Updates are released by n0velfire.net

Sun Wukong laughed heartily, "Nezha is here!"

Everyone turned their gaze towards the sky.

Within the distorted ripples, Prince Nezha stood in mid-air, stepping on the Wind and Fire Wheel. With a gesture, the Fire-tipped Spear instantly flew back up into his hand, bang~ it landed securely.

Sun Wukong immediately flew beside Nezha, chuckling, "Nezha, how come you are here?"

Nezha replied with a smile, "By the order of Emperor Gouchen, I am stationed to guard Daughter Country."

"Aren’t the Judicial Celestials not involved with the affairs of the Western Continent?"

"This is different; this is Daughter Country!"

Nezha looked towards Manjusri Bodhisattva, spun the Fire-tipped Spear and slung it over his shoulder, chuckling, "Bodhisattva, who gave you permission to take action in Daughter Country?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva frowned subconsciously. A mere Daluo Golden Immortal dares to be so presumptuous before a Quasi-Saint? The monk had to tolerate it!

Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke with a smile, "Prince Nezha..."

"Wrong! Now I am Lingzhu Zi from Nuwa Palace," Nezha interrupted Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately.

Sun Wukong’s expression changed. Nuwa Palace—could it be Nezha had some relationship with Nuwa? Emperor Gouchen once said that I was born from Nuwa’s creation, but I have never met Nuwa herself. Where exactly is Nuwa Palace?

The expressions of several Bodhisattvas turned serious. Prince Nezha represented the Heavenly Court, but now that he had announced himself as Lingzhu Zi, it was evident that he represented Nuwa Palace, and the implications were entirely different.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lingzhu Zi, we are merely dealing with some private affairs of Buddhism. Please do us a favor."

"Ha!" Nezha chuckled, "Daughter Country is where the Divine Temple of the Empress is located, as well as her Law Domain. You can handle your affairs however you wish outside, but in West Liang Daughter Country, all violence is prohibited. Do you understand?"

Universal Virtue Bodhisattva spoke with a smile, "We have no intentions of transgressing in the Empress’s Law Domain, but since Tang Sanzang and his disciples have drunk from the waters of the Mother and Child River and are now pregnant, we ask Fellow Daoist Lingzhu Zi to eliminate their fetuses."

Prince Nezha subconsciously looked down and saw the heavily pregnant Zhu Bajie and Tang Sanzang, his eyes widening in shock. Men pregnant? I had no idea about this before coming down here.
