Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Looking at Jiang Liu bound tightly by ropes, unable to move but with a pair of beast-like eyes fixed on herself, the King of Women's Kingdom's heart trembled slightly, and her cheeks turned even redder.

She exaggeratedly stated that the antidote had already fallen on the ground and could not be consumed, and at the same time, the King of Women's Kingdom kicked the antidote away, not knowing where it had rolled off to.

Thinking about the ongoing battle outside and not knowing when it would end, the King of Women's Kingdom bit her teeth, urgently unfastening her belt as time pressed on.

...

Outside Pipa Cave, the battle had reached its climax. Originally, the Scorpion Demon, being ganged up on by Sun Wukong and his two companions, was already at a disadvantage. However, considering Jiang Liu had been fed the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill, and at this time a group of women had entered the Pipa Cave, the heart of the Scorpion Demon was frantic, understandably.

It felt like a piece of meat in her mouth was about to be eaten by someone else.

The Inverted Horse Stake, unleashing its mighty power with 85% defense ignored, made even Sun Wukong's Vajra Indestructible Body seem as fragile as paper at that moment.

However, the combined strength of Sun Wukong and his two companions was enough to entangle the Scorpion Demon.

Therefore, the intense battle was like the force of the heavens tearing and earth splitting. The ten thousand Women's Army brought by the King of Women's Kingdom had no chance to intervene and could only watch from the sidelines.

After a short while, a group of Women's Army emerged from the Pipa Cave, instantly drawing the attention of both sides of the fight, causing everyone to slow down their movements momentarily.

"Hey, where is our master?" Sun Wukong asked the women soldiers who had come out.

"Elder Sun, the Holy Monk is fine, he was just fed the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill. But don't worry, there is another antidote on the table. Once His Majesty feeds the Holy Monk the antidote, he will be rescued," the leading female soldier told Sun Wukong.

"Oh, good to hear that," Sun Wukong said, relieved by the woman soldier's words.

Immediately, he turned his head and his gaze fell back on the Scorpion Demon, baring his teeth, "Evil Demon, so it was indeed you who captured my master!"

However, the Scorpion Demon did not respond to Sun Wukong's words. She was also relieved, thankful that she had casually placed the antidote on the table. As long as the antidote was consumed, the Holy Monk would not be ruined.

At this time, the Scorpion Demon felt a sense of relief. If someone else had taken advantage of the Joyous Union Pill she had administered, it would be a bigger blow.

However, just as she was feeling relieved, suddenly, the Scorpion Demon had a thought.

Something was wrong. Who was left inside? The King of Women's Kingdom?

If it had been another woman, the Scorpion Demon wouldn't have thought much about it and would have made sure the Holy Monk was given the antidote. But the King of Women's Kingdom, that was a different story.

Having been hidden in the Women's Kingdom's palace for a year and having spent time with the King of Women's Kingdom, the Scorpion Demon had a clear view of her deep feelings towards the Holy Monk!

Would she really feed the Holy Monk the antidote?

That question put a real doubt in the heart of the Scorpion Demon.

Moreover, if she really intended to give the Holy Monk the antidote, why not just do it and rescue him? Why the need to send away those guards and stay alone with the Holy Monk in the cave?

Thinking of the scene inside the cave at this time, the Scorpion Demon became frantic with rage and nearly lost all her reason.

The pill she had administered, the man she was determined to have, and it was her own cave, right?

It was like a man who had taken a girl out for drinks, managed to get her drunk and brought her home, only to be held up by someone else, while another man went in.

His house, his bed, his woman, his created opportunity, yet taken advantage of by another man while he was just outside the front door!

This feeling was enough to drive anyone mad!

"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you all!"

Thinking of the King of Women's Kingdom doing what she had intended to do but failed in her own cave, the last bit of reason in the Scorpion Demon seemed to vanish as she screamed loudly and, with a desperate posture, charged at Sun Wukong and his companions.

"Be careful, this demon is desperate!"

Seeing the Scorpion Demon's sudden rampage, Sun Wukong and his companions were perplexed, not understanding why the demon had suddenly lost it. However, seeing the Scorpion Demon's outburst, they had no time to think further and all geared up to restrain the Scorpion Demon.

...

In a daze, Jiang Liu slowly regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and his clarity of mind gradually returned.

Looking around, everything in the cave was the same, and he was still tightly bound by ropes, unable to move.

However, next to him was the King of Women's Kingdom sitting.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here!?" Seeing the King of Women's Kingdom sitting next to him, Jiang Liu was slightly startled and asked in surprise.

"Elder Sun and the others are outside fighting the demon. I took the opportunity while they were entangled with the demon to come and rescue you!" The expression of the King of Women's Kingdom seemed somewhat tired, her voice somewhat weak, showing a frail demeanor.

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?" seeing the state of the King of Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu asked.

"It's nothing, just that I rode fast from the palace, so I'm a bit exhausted!" the King of Women's Kingdom shook her head and replied to Jiang Liu's inquiry.

In the midst of speaking, she pointed to the ropes binding Jiang Liu, saying, "Imperial Brother, this rope seems to be a Dharma Treasure, I can't untie it!"

"Oh, if it can't be undone, just leave it!" The King of Women's Kingdom, a mere mortal, indeed found the rope a Dharma Treasure, so her inability to untie it wasn't really surprising.

However, the thought of the elixir she had ingested before losing consciousness, and the effects it had afterward...

Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, when you came in, did you notice if I was in any way disrespectful?"

"This..." Jiang Liu's question made the King of Women's Kingdom look somewhat embarrassed.

But it was fleeting, and with an air of nonchalance, the King responded, "Imperial Brother, you were tied up and couldn't move. How could you possibly be disrespectful? You were fed a Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill, and fortunately, there was an antidote on the table, so I fed it to you. Everything is fine now!"

"Phew..."

Upon hearing the King of Women's Kingdom's answer, Jiang Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

The name of the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill was correct; the Scorpion Demon had said the same, and the antidote was indeed on the table, as he clearly saw when the Scorpion Demon placed it there. Everything matched up.

Thankfully, Sun Wukong and the others arrived in time, or else he would have been dishonored today.

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, let's hurry outside!" Realizing what had transpired after he lost consciousness, Jiang Liu completely relaxed and spoke.

During the conversation, he had the King of Women's Kingdom help him up.

Tied up like a dumpling, Jiang Liu, lying on the ground, indeed couldn't get up on his own.

"Alright!" The King nodded and stood up from where she had been sitting on the ground.

However, from the slight frown on her brows and her awkward gait, something was evidently amiss.

"Your Majesty, you..." Seeing the King's condition, Jiang Liu was somewhat concerned.

"I ran too fast while traveling, and twisted my foot a bit, but it's nothing serious!" However, before Jiang Liu could finish his sentence, the King of Women's Kingdom had already rushed to answer.

"Oh, I see!" Jiang Liu nodded, not thinking much of it anymore.

With the support of the King of Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu got up, and then they, albeit with her odd strides, walked towards the cave's entrance.

As for Jiang Liu? Naturally, he was hopping and jumping along beside her.

After a while, Jiang Liu and the King of Women's Kingdom finally reached outside the cave, and indeed, the battle outside was fierce and chaotic. The Scorpion Demon, facing three opponents, was still overwhelmingly powerful, leaving Jiang Liu dumbstruck.

Was she truly a being capable of wounding the Tathagata Buddha? Her prowess was terrifying indeed!

"Your Majesty, you finally came out!" A few trusted aides, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, felt relieved when they saw the King of Women's Kingdom emerge.

"Master!" Seeing Jiang Liu rescued, Sun Wukong and the others also relaxed.

"Holy Monk, he, did he really take the antidote?" The furiously infuriated Scorpion Demon, of course, noticed the rope still bound to Jiang Liu's body, frowned slightly, and for a moment, couldn't grasp what had happened.

If you say the King of Women's Kingdom did something, the Holy Monk is still bound by ropes. How could that be possible? Bind him and proceed? With such a heavy taste?

But if you say she did nothing, then why would she send the guards away?

With a whoosh, Sun Wukong landed right beside Jiang Liu.

Seeing the ropes bound around Jiang Liu, he murmured a mantra under his breath and gently blew at the ropes, which immediately loosened.

As the ropes loosened, Jiang Liu felt his True Yuan within his body becoming manageable again, his gaze flickering as it fell on the Scorpion Demon.

He opened his storage space and pulled out a golden hoop.

The Tight Hoop was from the time Jiang Liu bargained for it from Bodhisattva.

In Jiang Liu's view, although the Scorpion Demon coveted his body, she simply wanted to marry him and had no intention of harming him. Retaining such a general, rather than being killed by the Official of the Sun as in the original story, could be useful for his future campaign against the Western Spirit Mountain.

With a thought, the golden hoop flew towards the head of the Scorpion Demon.

Seeing the hoop thrown by Jiang Liu, the Scorpion Demon's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly dodged.

Previously, at the Great Thunder Monastery when the Tathagata Buddha passed on three hoops to Guanyin, the Scorpion Demon had been nearby and heard everything, naturally understanding the function of the hoop, and thus dared not let it land on her head.

However, seeing the Scorpion Demon dodge, Jiang Liu raised his hand and pointed at her.

The skill of Silencing Zen activated, instantly disabling her ability to mobilize her powers.

After silencing the Scorpion Demon with a moment of Silencing Zen, Jiang Liu then threw a Sheep Transformation Technique at her.

With a flash of light, the Scorpion Demon instantly transformed into a little lamb, looking bewildered.

Then, the golden hoop directly settled on the lamb's head...
