Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1748 - Questions from Guanyin, Chu Hao appears

Inside the cave, Sai Tai Sui returned, feeling utterly dejected.

The thought of being beaten so badly filled him with grievance, so he headed towards the room where the Golden Sacred Palace Mother was.

Within the room, a beauty of captivating allure sat gracefully.

Her jade-like face was delicate, her beauty enchanting, surpassing countless others in the mortal realm with just a single glance.

"My beauty," Sai Tai Sui murmured, feeling a surge of joy, and reached out to embrace her.

The Golden Sacred Palace Mother was startled. Fortunately, the Five-Colored Immortal Robe she wore emitted a radiant, multicolored light, revealing rows of poisonous thorns that startled Sai Tai Sui into immobility.

Feeling even more aggrieved, he immediately began to lament about what had just transpired.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Sacred Palace Mother's face lit up with joy: "Are you saying the King sent a Tang Dynasty monk to save me?"

Sai Tai Sui pouted: "After all these years, you still haven't forgotten the King of Zhu Zi Kingdom?"

The Golden Sacred Palace Mother remained silent, but the smile in her eyes ignited an inexplicable fire in Sai Tai Sui's heart.

He stormed off in anger. Just as he was about to order his subordinates to prepare a feast for him, a figure appeared before him—Guanyin.

He hastily knelt down and bowed: "Greetings, Great Master Guanyin."

Guanyin looked at him with an expression of disappointment: "Why couldn't you defeat that Tang Sanzang? Were you holding back?"

Hearing this, Sai Tai Sui was greatly alarmed and quickly kowtowed: "Great Master Guanyin, I am wronged! I really couldn't defeat that Tang Monk; his power is too strong."

"Then why did you drop your weapon?" Guanyin continued to ask.

In her eyes, Sai Tai Sui's behavior was quite strange.

"Um, Great Master Guanyin, I…" Sai Tai Sui stammered, unable to speak properly.

"Speak clearly," Guanyin frowned.

"My treasure was stolen," Sai Tai Sui said in an extremely low voice.

"What?"

Although his voice was soft, it reached Guanyin's ears with perfect clarity, and her face was filled with shock.

"I just left the Purple-Gold Bell in the cave, and then one day, it suddenly disappeared," Sai Tai Sui said, feeling very guilty.

Guanyin stared at this fellow, both surprised and angry, wanting to slap him to death.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said: "How could it be lost?"

"I don't know, it just disappeared like that," Sai Tai Sui said, raising his head and revealing an innocent look.

But this only made Guanyin's anger rise. She felt as if her heart was bleeding.

This was a primordial treasure, yet it was lost so inexplicably.

She clearly didn't believe him.

So she kept looking at Sai Tai Sui and said in a low voice: "You better think carefully. If I find out you're lying, you know the consequences."

Sai Tai Sui didn't speak.

With Chu Hao's threat looming, he dared not open his mouth, or he would lose his life.

As long as he remained silent and Guanyin still needed him, he could at least save his life.

So he was determined not to reveal the truth.

Guanyin stared at him again and said: "Tell me again."

"Great Master Guanyin, the treasure really is lost," Sai Tai Sui said.
