Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Ji Ruhuo responded with a bitter smile upon hearing this. Honestly, the face of the person before him was indeed somewhat cute, but this... this figure seemed a bit too rugged, didn't it?

Ji Ruhuo said, "Your Majesty, should I wake him up now?"

"Don't, let her sleep a bit longer," the Red Boy said gently.

Ji Ruhuo suddenly felt as if someone was force-feeding him dog food, it was terribly uncomfortable. He muttered to himself, "I never expected that our King would like someone this wild..."

Just then, Tang Sanzang woke up and looked at the demon before him, asking, "Who are you?"

Ji Ruhuo bowed respectfully and said, "I am Ji Ruhuo, sent by our King with a special invitation to ask you to visit our cave."

Tang Sanzang was puzzled, "Invite me? You don't want to eat me, do you?"

Ji Ruhuo hastened to shake his head, "How could that be? Our King admires you and wishes to invite you over for a visit."

Tang Sanzang sat cross-legged on a rock, propping his chin with one hand and tilting his head as he looked at Ji Ruhuo, "Admire me? Does your King know me?"

Ji Ruhuo was taken aback; he really didn't know that.

Thankfully, the Red Boy transmitted a message through a bronze mirror, "Knows you, knows you, has met you twice!"

So Ji Ruhuo said, "Fortunate to have met twice, stunned by your beauty, unable to forget..."

Upon hearing this, the Red Boy praised, "Well said, that has quality, you'll be rewarded when you return!"

Tang Sanzang frowned, "Met twice and stunned by beauty? Is your King a woman?"

Ji Ruhuo shook his head, "Of course not, our King is a man."

Upon hearing that it was a man, Tang Sanzang felt a bit of disdain.

The Red Boy noticed this and became anxious, he murmured, "Indeed a good girl, ready to refuse as soon as she hears it's a man, truly chaste. Ji Ruhuo, I don't care, you must bring her back to me no matter what."

Ji Ruhuo was also feeling a bit troubled, but he suddenly perked up and quickly produced a scroll with the Red Boy's portrait on it. It was clearly beautified—the height was increased, the age was adjusted, no longer a child's look, but rather the image of a graceful young man, a majestic military general.

Ji Ruhuo said, "This is our King. What do you think?"

Tang Sanzang glanced at it and was certain he had never seen this person before, but since the other party admired him, he didn't want to hurt their feelings, so he said, "A very handsome young man, valiant and extraordinary."

The Red Boy was overjoyed to hear Tang Sanzang's praise.

However, Ji Ruhuo furrowed his brows, the more he interacted, the more he felt something was off. He thought he had been mistaken before, but as he listened now, he found the woman's voice was as rugged as his snores. He didn't dare say this out loud though; the Red Boy was on a high, and he was afraid of being disciplined if he spoke out of turn.

The main thing was, he felt that the Red Boy was so powerful, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the other's gender.

Therefore, it must be that he had misunderstood, or that this girl simply had that kind of voice, and the Red Boy liked that type.

Once again he muttered in his heart, "Our King's taste is really peculiar..."

Then once more, he extended the invitation, "Our King truly admires you, could you please come for a visit?"

Tang Sanzang thought for a moment before asking, "Is there a place to bathe there?"

Thinking back on the journey so far, Tang Sanzang hadn't had many baths, and now he wanted to soak with a female demon. Just having hair wasn't enough, he also needed to be clean and fragrant. Otherwise, if the female demon really did come and the two sat together, the whole room would be filled with the stink of horse urine, completely ruining the atmosphere.

That's why Tang Sanzang asked the question.

Upon hearing that there was a chance to bathe, Red Boy's eyes gleamed, and he laughed heartily, saying, "Indeed, this Great King is still very handsome, to have captured her attention with just a portrait! She's implying she wants to take a mandarin duck bath with me!"

This time, before Ji Ruhuo could speak, Red Boy shouted through the copper mirror, "Yes, of course, you can! Not only can you take a bath, but you can also take a mandarin duck bath!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruhuo really wanted to bash his head in, thinking, "Oh my King, your mind is too straightforward, isn't it? Flirting should never be this direct. Aren't you just going to scare her away? If this invitation fails, it's not my fault!"

While Ji Ruhuo thought this way, he was also rapidly considering how to salvage this mess.

However, to Ji Ruhuo's surprise, upon hearing that she could take a mandarin duck bath, the young girl not only wasn't frightened but the light shining in her eyes was even more terrifying than that of Red Boy!

Tang Sanzang didn't expect this turn of events at all. Missed in one place, found in another; if one door shuts, another opens. Having missed out on a female demon, he was now being treated so kindly by a male demon!

He excitedly asked, "Can we really take a mandarin duck bath?"

Red Boy assumed the other had taken a fancy to him and had the idea of taking a mandarin duck bath with him, so he quickly replied, "Definitely, there should be, it's a must!"

Tang Sanzang suddenly stood up, "Let's go, departure!"

Ji Ruhuo found he couldn't get a word in and simply turned to lead the way.

On the other side, seeing that Tang Sanzang was coming, Red Boy was overjoyed, quickly ordered his minions to tidy up the cave again, filled the bathhouse behind the cave with hot spring water, changed the big bed with brand-new sheets and covers, and awaited the lovely visitor!

Tang Sanzang was also eager. It had been several years since he'd come to this world, and he had been keeping company with pigs and monkeys for so long that he was bursting with anticipation.

So he moved quickly, rushing forward with great strides. Even Ji Ruhuo, known for his speed, felt like he couldn't keep up.

But Ji Ruhuo was quite happy, "I underestimated my king after all. I thought he'd only fallen for a wild vase, but this isn't a vase, this is a halberd! If those two come together later, working together as a couple, our Fiery Cloud Cave will surely grow even stronger."

Soon, the two of them arrived at Withered Pine Streamlet, outside the Fiery Cloud Cave.

They came in such a hurry that Red Boy had just used the Transformation Technique, transforming into the pretty young man from the portrait and was having the little demons apply his makeup when Tang Sanzang arrived.

"My King, your distinguished guest has arrived, but he shows no interest in food or drink, only in taking a bath. What do you think?"

Kuai Rufeng reported.

Upon hearing this, Red Boy laughed and said, "What a hasty beauty, okay, let her go first. I'll be there shortly!"

Kuai Rufeng immediately went down to make arrangements.

Tang Sanzang was intent on bathing, so he didn't bother with small talk and followed Kuai Rufeng straight to the backyard bathhouse. Upon seeing the large hot spring bath, Tang Sanzang's eyes sparkled and, without caring about the several people present, he started undressing!

Seeing this, Kuai Rufeng thought to himself, "Damn, no wonder my brother said this girl was wild. She truly is wild and open, completely ignoring us like we're not even here!"

But Kuai Rufeng dared not look further and quickly sent everyone out, waiting dutifully outside.

As soon as Kuai Rufeng and the others had left, they saw Red Boy hurrying over asking from afar, "Where's the beauty?"
