Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Shangguan Ling also noticed and asked in a low voice, "Weren't you the one who would rather die than comply?"

"Well, I'm not dead yet, am I?" retorted Tang Sanzang righteously.

Shangguan Ling, Guards: "..."

The Phoenix Resting Tower was the boudoir of the Queen of the Western Liang female kingdom.

Calling it a boudoir was actually quite an understatement; it was a small estate that was quite expansive and had every kind of pavilion and multi-storied buildings.

Once inside the Phoenix Resting Tower, after making several turns, Tang Sanzang was led by Shangguan Ling to a secluded house, from which steam was billowing…

Tang Sanzang asked, "What place is this?"

Shangguan Ling answered, "This is where you bathe. Go on in, there are maids waiting for you inside. They will clean you up."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, "There are maids to help me bathe?"

Shangguan Ling nodded, "Of course, did you think you were going to wash yourself?"

Tang Sanzang quickly shook his head; along the way, he had observed that the girls in the palace were one more stunning than the next—not a single ugly one in sight. He even began to suspect that the King of the Western Liang might have a preference for the same sex…

Now hearing that there were maids inside to help him bathe, he was overjoyed, "Hahaha… Of course, I'll need help. I'm going in now!"

After saying this, Tang Sanzang went ahead and entered, pushing open the main door, walking past the screen, and directly facing a large hot spring pool!

Around the hot spring pool stood more than a dozen maids, each one robust with wide shoulders and formidable figures. Two of the maids were holding towels, two had brushes that resembled the Wolf Fang Club in their hands, and two were carrying iron buckets. Their eyes were bloodshot with excitement as they looked at him and shouted in unison, "Greetings, male concubine!"

Confronted by these formidable female creatures, Tang Sanzang was dumbstruck. Then he heard their address…

"Male concubine? Male concubine…"

Tang Sanzang's expression gradually turned fierce!

One of the maids clenched her fists and brought them together at her chest with a thud that made her flesh quiver!

With great excitement, she said, "Male concubine, please don't move. Let me help you undress!"

"Help my sister undress!" Tang Sanzang exploded.

Boom!

There was a loud noise as the window of the bathhouse shattered and a figure flew out…

That was soon followed by a voice from inside: "Get lost, all of you! I'll do it myself, I don't need your help!"

Then came the clattering sound of things dropping, and after that, a group of maids screaming and scampering out in disarray.

Shangguan Ling hurried in to check the situation while shouting loudly, "Tang Sanzang, what are you doing?"

Inside the room, Tang Sanzang was holding the Wolf Fang Club-like brush and said, "They wanted to use this to scrub me… Why don't you try it?"

Shangguan Ling was aghast, "This… this is for scrubbing horses…"

Tang Sanzang, with a ferocious face, exclaimed, "You know this is for brushing horses, yet they wanted to use it on me! And to make matters worse, they actually called me male concubine!

Yuck, I've never agreed to marry your Queen. At best, I'm only going along with her forcing herself on me.

Also, no one is allowed to call me male concubine again. I'll have an issue with anyone who does!"

Shangguan Ling showed a wry smile, thinking, "With your strength, we need to force you? If you don't force yourself on our Queen, that would be surprising. You laughed so hard that the corner of your mouth was almost splitting behind your ears, and you're telling me it's us forcing you?"

However, what Shangguan Ling said was, "Elder Tang, please calm down."

Then he turned to a maid who hadn't managed to run out and demanded, "What in the world is going on here?"

The maid said, "Lady Shangguan, it was His Majesty who instructed us to play a joke on him, to dampen his spirit, hence the preparation of all these."

Shangguan Ling frowned and said, "A joke? But if it was for real, would you actually use these?"

The maid quickly clapped her hands and said, "Come out now!"

Suddenly, a series of footsteps arose from the other side, followed by a group of slender, beautiful women holding soft towels who quickly approached and lined up in front of Tang Sanzang, bowing and saying, "Greetings to His Highness, the Male Concubine!"

At that moment, Tang Sanzang laughed, and oh, how joyfully he laughed.

But Shangguan Ling was displeased, cleared her throat with a cough, and reprimanded, "Bold of you, who allowed you to call Elder Tang the Male Concubine? Such disrespect from all of you, withdraw at once!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang instantly became anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go!"

Shangguan Ling said, "Elder Tang, as per your instructions, to avoid angering you, I naturally have to drive away these disrespectful ones…"

Tang Sanzang said angrily, "You… If you send them all away, who will bathe me?"

Shangguan Ling smiled and said, "Or perhaps, shall I help you with your bath?"

Tang Sanzang watched as all the beauties vanished, and then glanced to the side, where besides the beautiful Shangguan Ling, only a few sturdy girls who hadn't run off remained.

"Unwilling?" Shangguan Ling asked.

Tang Sanzang quickly grabbed hold of her and said, "Willing, of course I'm willing!"

Shangguan Ling blushed slightly at Tang Sanzang's grip, but still said, "Then let me help you undress."

It's often said that Shangguan Ling herself is a great beauty, and her years as an official have added to her remarkable grace.

Watching such an elegant, beautiful girl approach to undress him, Tang Sanzang smiled like a fool, thinking to himself, "Lucky that I didn't listen to that darned monkey back then and just made the big leap to the Western Heavens for the scriptures. Oh, the wonderful sights I would have missed, hahaha…"

Shangguan Ling helped Tang Sanzang remove his kasaya and was about to take off his pants.

Tang Sanzang was already excited, his breathing becoming rapid.

As Shangguan Ling's delicate hand grasped Tang Sanzang's pants, ready to pull them down…

Suddenly, a roar erupted from outside!

"You baldy, come out and face me!"

With a roar as loud as thunder, the entire house shook violently!

Startled by the roar, Tang Sanzang involuntarily shivered...

His face also darkened at the same time!

Meanwhile outside, the previously clear sky instantly turned dark.

People looked up only to see dark clouds rolling in from afar, above which thunders of war drums echoed, with dragons pulling chariots and fiery birds in tow.

At a glance, countless little demons on the clouds, each armed and arrayed in formation.

Behind, seated on a brilliant war chariot, were two figures.

One was the True Immortal Ruyi, and the other a majestic minotaur.

Among the demon army, a large flag was raised, inscribed with big characters—Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Great Strength Bull Demon King!

And that shout just now, it was True Immortal Ruyi gathering all his strength, using the Formation Magic Artifact to bellow out, which is why his voice thundered so tremendously, utterly shaking.

"Little brother, you couldn't handle one monk and had to call for my help; look at how proud you've become," laughed the Bull Demon King.

True Immortal Ruyi replied with a wry smile, "Big brother, you have no idea. That monk is extremely powerful, with formidable methods and completely unreasonable. He not only occupied my Sunlight Mountain but nearly beat me to death. I had no choice but to ask for your help to sit in and demand justice. Alas, at the time I forgot to inquire about his background and name…"
